Schirmers — MPCA C,N.,No. 627 951 Katydid Lane NE • St. Michael, MN 55376 • (612) 497-3566 December 18, 19113 Dickey site Lot 3, Block 1 Orono, Henn. Co., WN This On -Site Sewag:: Traatment System is Designed for a Type 1, five bedroom home in accordance with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Chapter 7050 and local ordinances. The soils on this site are SCS soils mapped - LrB - Lester loam bordered by Ha - Hamel loam. A seasonally high water table was located at 12" to 22", (mottled soil). Due to the seasonally high water table, a Pressurized Mound System will need to be installed. The bottom of the rock bed must be located at least 3' above the seasonally high water table. The soils at a deptn of 12" have a percolation rate averaging 5.3 min/inch. A pumping chamber will noed to be installed to lift the effluent to the treatment area. The manifold and supply line pipe must have back drainage to the pumping chamber. The distribution pipes shall have their ends capped. Be sure the rock and sand fill material are clean. The sod layer below the entire mounded area must be turned over, just break up the sod, be sure not to over work. The power supply and switches must be located outside the manhole and pumping chamber in a weather proof enclosure. A warning device must be installed with a light and sound device, this is in case of a pump failure. Mercury floats are a good method. All neighboring wells re located greater than 100' away from the proposed treatment area. CONT'D Dickey site lot 3, Block 1 Orono (2) Keep all heavy equipment off of the proposed treatment area before and after construction. The treatment area should be marked off before construction. This Design is not valid & the System will need to be relocated if failure to protect the areas proposed for On -Site Sewage Treatment occurs. With proper installation and maintenance, this system should have no problem in treating septic effluent effectively. 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. Smaller amounts of laundry soaps, dish soaps, cleaning agents, etc. are better for the system. Antibacterial soaps & chlorinc. ---nts may kill the bacteria needed to treat septic effluent properly. AU,,-_--; are not recommended, they may cause harmful damage to your system. n__.,_-m-nd to pump & clean your tanks by a certified pumper every year if you 1 tank & every 2 years if you have 2 tanks to insure proper maintenance.
