No 627 - State License #394 - Phone 763-497-3566 - Fax 763-497-5011 www.s testin .wastewater comcast.net- schirmerswastewater.com November 18, 2022 Deborah Hopp 1300 French Creek Dr. Orono, MN A Compliance inspection was completed for the existing on-site sewage treatment system located on this property. The system consists of 1-650 gallon trash trap, 1- 750 gallon Multi -Flo Wastewater Treatment system, 1-1250 gallon pump chamber & a trench system with 3001in.ft., 900sq.ft. Soil boring #1 2 found no mottled soil (redox features to a depth of 7811, elev. 949.5 & elev. 950.7. The bottom of the lowest trench was found at elev. 954.2. This system meets a 3.5'} separation from the bottom of the trenches & mottled soil & is classified as in compliance with Minnesota Chapter 7080 rules. The tanks were pumped by Kothrade Sewer, Water & Excavating, Inc. The electrical for the tanks was repaired by Kothrade Sewer on 11-17-22. The Multi -Flo system needs to be serviced 2 times per year. Schirmers Wastewater Treatments systems has been doing this since the system was installed. Please contact us at 763.497.3566. Nothing other than human waste, toilet tissue, laundry, showers, water softners etc. should be disposed of into the system. IRON FILTERS MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO DISHCARGE INTO THE SYSTEM. Garbage disposals are not recommended. Excessive amounts of soaps, antibacterial soaps, cleaning agents, shower cleaners used every shower & chlorine agents may kill the bacteria needed to treat septic effluent. Additives are not recommended. Recommend laundering be limited to 3 to4 loads per day. The Multi -Flo Unit will need to be pumped when the settable solids reach 40%. Schirmers Wastewater will meet the pumper & clean out the Multi -Flo at the same time. There will only be a $50.00 charge for Schirmers Wastewater to clean the filters in the Multi -Flo unit as long as pumping is only needed 1 time every 3 years. The pumping charges from the pumper are your responsibility. By using smaller amounts of laundry, dish, dishwasher soaps will help to decrease pumping the system. See the attached Multi -Flo Care Sheet. This certificate of compliance is no guarantee that this system will continue to function indefinitely. Steven B.
