SuoJECT: Site evaluation report for on site sewage treatment system,
4300 9ayside, Orono, Minnesota Job N 1962
Per your recent request, we have conducted a site evaluation for the above
subject site. This report presents our findings, recommendations, and designs
for the sewage treatment system for thii site.
MCMWIDATIONS: The depth to seasonal ground water at the referenced site is
0o shallow to allow installation of a standard on -site sewage treatment system*
Conditions are appropriate to allow the installation of a mound system which
should adequately treat and discharge to the environment, the sewage anticipated
for the two bedroom rambler which you. plan to build.
EVALUATION: The site in question is heavily wooded with mature hardwood trees,
and slopes pre dominatel,y to drain to the north, with some quite steep sloping
conditions throughout. Property dimensions are approximately 6621 by 665E plus
access off county road 81;. Soil borings indicate that the soils comprise a very
organic forrest mat of silty clay to a depth of arproxima-�ely 2 feet below grade,
and then grade into an increasingly stiffer silty clay and medium fat to fat clay
soil in the area of the primary treatrent area selected. In the secondary area
evaluated, the Forrest mat is slightly thinner, and the underlying silt; clay
retains the grey color suggestive of leachin., of organic natter to the depth of
the boring at 61. In both areas, soil mottling, evidence of seasonal3,- high
ground water level, was approximately 2 to 21 feet below grade. Details are
contained on the attached logs of borings. The first set of percolation tests,
conducted on June 15, showed very high rates, generally 60 minutes per inch or
higher. A second set of percolation tests was run on June 22, at quite shallow
depths of about 15", and showed percolation rates generally loser than 30
minutes per inch. This infonration serves to evaluate the upper 210" of soil and
forms the basis upon which a mound system can bs recormiended.
The details of the soil borings and percolation tests are given on the attached
copies of the field logs and data sheets. :hc borings were done .-:ith a hand
Elite auger, and elassificati +n of the soils is by the Unified soil classification
system. The percolation tests were conducted acc�,rdinc to procee!°ures outlined
in the 11PCA Orsitc .:eu•:age Treatnert ::arual and City of Orono Onsitc Seu:a,-e

of rea gravel or coarse sand in the bottom, allowod to soak for at least 1: hours
with at least 12" of water above the bottom of t;_e hole, and then left overnifht.
The tests were run by filli.nf to 8" above the bottom of the hole and mcasur'_ng

re-established at 8 inches over the bottom of the hole and the test repeated.
When three consecutive ' Is were within to percent, the testing was
completed and the pert � rate established.
In addition to the logs of soil borings and percolation test data sheets,
we are attaching separately a specification for construction of the onsite
sewage treatment system.

TREATWIT AFEA:
A mound system treatment area will be constructed in the general location
shown on the attached location plan. The natural slope in this area is
approximately 6%. The mound configuration is indicated on the attached
General Mound Configuration sketch. Pertinent details are as follows$
- ROCK BED. The rock bed shall be 61-8" wide by 60, long, placed on top
of the sand fill. 9" of rock shall be placed under the perforated
laterals and 2" of rock shall be placed on top of the perforated
laterals. The rock bed material shall be a clean rock, crushed igneous
rock, or similar insoluable, durable and decay resistant material,
free from dust, sand, silt, or clay. The size shall ran-e from 3A
inch diameter to 2 1/2 inch diameter. The rock bed shall be level.
- PERFORATED IA TERAL. The perforated laterals shall be 1 3A inch pipe
with 3/16 inch holes spaced 36 inches on center at the invert. Two
laterals will be installed, h0 inches on center and each 20 inches from
the edge of the rock bed. The perforated laterals shall be connected
by a 2" manifold pipe and shall be capped at the ends. The manifold
shall connect the perforated laterals either at one end or in the
center. The purpose of the manifold pipe is to distribute effluent
from the pumping chamber equally to the perforated laterals. Details
showing the manifold connection and can is sho:•m on the attached sketch,
"Tee to Tee Lateral - 'Manifold Construction".
S _ITD FILL. After preparation of the natural ground, a sand fill will be
placed as the base of the mound. The sand fill will extend at least
12 inches thick under the rock bed at its uphill location, and shall
be level with the top of tre rock bed, extending 18" beyond the rock bed, t
down on a 3:1 slope. The sand s;iall be composed by weight of at least
25% of very coarse, coarse, and medium sand varying in size from 2.0
to 0.25 mni, less than 505, of fine or very fine sang ranging in size
between 0.25 and 0.05 mm, and no more than 10% of particles smaller than
0.05 mm.
RUITOFF DIVERSI)N. The mound shall be protected from surface runoff by
constructing a diversion dranage urhdli of the mound systen. The diversion
shall consist of cohesive fill extending 7 feet beyond the uphill side
of the mound at the center, uniformly extending, at the base, to the
corners of the mound as indicated on the attached General }'ound Config-
uration sketch. This diversion fill shall be compacted to 95% of the
standard proctor density according to ASV.: D-698, and shall form a
smooth surface to the top of the mound.
S10TY LOf�11 COVER. The sand fill and rock bed shall be covered vrith a
mound of loosly placed sandy loan fill, 12 inches deep at the center of
the rock bed and 6 inches deep at the edge of the rock bed, tapering
outvrard at a 3:1 slope.
TOPSOIL COVER. The entire mound and runoff diversion shall be covered
with 2 inches of topsoil suitable for growing grass.
?SOL COi,'�TRUCTION:
CO::.; C; ICI: A rubber -tired tractor nay be used for plok-ing or
disking, to prepare the soil surface but in no case shall a rubber -tired
tractor be used after the :,;;,rf ce preparation is co:�pleted. A cratitilcr or
track -type tractor shall be used for mound construction

SOIL SURFACE PREPARATION The discharge ripe from the pump to the mound
areas all be installed prior to soil surface preparation. The trench
excavated to install the discharge pipe shall be-arefully backfilled
and compacted to prevent seepage of effluent. Compaction shall be to
not less than 95% of standard proctor density according to ASTMS D.6989
The total area selected for the mound, inclyding that under the dikes,
shall be rou^hened in order to thoroughly break up any existing sod
layers and to provide a suitable t,ansition zone between the original
soil and the sand layer of tht mu;md. The area shall be rou_-hened only
when the moisture content of the soil 8 inches below the surface is drier
than the plastic limit.
Plastic limit is the soil moisture content below which the soil may be
manipulated for purposes of installing a soil treatment system, and above
which manipulation will cause compaction and puddling. If a fragment of
soil can easily be rolled into a wire 1/8 inch in diameter, the moisture

SUBJBCTt Additional site evaluation for onsite sewage treatment system
b300 Bayside, Orono, Minnesota Job # 197l
Please refer to our initial report regarding the site evaluation at this
address. After a meeting with you, Mike Gaffron of Orono, and Rick Stodola
on August 2hth, it was determined that the higher ground to the south east
of the house under construction should be considered for the treatment area,
in lieu of the primary and secondary sites indicated in the initial
evaluation. The purpose for this was better access for the contractor which
would result in a more economical installation.
Two borings and two percolation tests were performed on the site. The results
of these are attached on the logs of soil t.,._ ngs and percolation test data
sheets. In critical respects, the soil profile is very similar to the previous
tvo locations evaluated, in that there is 2 to 2j feet of silty nlay forrest
mat overlying a relative stiff clay soil with expected very slow permeability.
Moreover, in boring B-4. mottling was indicated, although only slightly at
just deeper than-2 feet below grade. This suggests at very wet periods,
water will saturate the bottom of the forrest mat of silty clay as it is
unable to penetrate the stiffer clay layer of glacial till below. For this
reason, the sandy clay layer dneountpred at a depth of 2j feet in boring B-4,
and at just over 2 feet at boring B-5 should be considered a limiting soil
layer, requiring alternative treatment systems.
Percolation tests taken with the bottom of the percolation test holes at
18 inches below grade showed percolation rates of 2h and 8.8 minutes pe
inch at locations P-12 and P-* respectively.
RECOMYENDATIONS :
We recommend that the onsite system designed and recommended in our previous
report be installed, however with the mound system placad in the vicinity of
this new evaluation by P-12 and P-13 as shown on the attached site evaluation
location plan. Because the house plan has been changt 'j a front loading
garage, the location of the septic and pumping tanks st.juld be to the east
of the ?,rage for better servicing access. Additionally a j HP high head
pump wil.be necessary since greater pimping pressures will be required.
A copy of the revised mound configuration for this site is enclosed.
