Orono, MN A Compliance inspection was completed for the existing on-site sewage treatment system located on this property for the sale of the home. The system consists of 1- 2000 gallon septic tank, 1 -1000 gallon pump tank, a pressurized mound system with a 10' x 50' rock bed, built in 2013 for a 4 bedroom home. To complete the inspection the test holes were thawed using propane heaters. This site has had 2 previous soil verifications, 1 from Marty's Excavating when he designed the system & 1 by the City of Orono. SB#1 south end found mottled soil at 19" (1.671) & SB#3 north end at 24" (2'). Soil borings completed by SP Testing, Inc. on February 16th in SB#1 through the mound (north end) found 2.1' of sand below the rock bed leaving a 3.1' separation from the bottom of the rock bed & redox features. (Marty' Excavating 2' to mottled soil). SB#2 found 1.4' of sand below the rock bed leaving a 3' separation (Marty's Excavating 1.6' to mottled soil). This system is classified as in Compliance with Minnesota Chapter 7080 rules. The tanks were pumped by Albin's Septic Pumping LLC & were found to be compliant. Nothing other than gray water (laundry, showers etc.) human waste & toilet tissue should be disposed of into the septic tanks. Garbage disposals are not recommended due to adding more solids & fine Solids passing through into the system. Iron filters are also not recommended & should be diverted out of the system. Excessive amounts of soaps, antibacterial soaps, cleaning agents, shower cleaners used every shower & chlorine agents may kill the bacteria you need living in the system. Additives are not recommended. Recommend to pump & clean you tanks through the manhole by a certified pumper every 3 years. Check with your pumper to set up a schedule. This certificate of compliance is no guarantee that this system will continue to function indefinitely. Steven B. Schirmers S -P TESTING, INC. , Steven B.
