Re: Drainfield - Lot 5, Block 2, Farview E.ddition
Dear Ms. Buesgens:
My recent site inspection of your house at 3067 Farview Lane
in Orono revealed that the proposed drainfield site has been
filled and regraded to a state where it in no way resembles
the original soil surface. Since proper functioning of a
drainfield relies on percolation through the natural upper
soil structure, any drainfield installed in the present soil
conditions has a high risk of failure.
We will require that complete soil testing (three (3) borings
and six (6) perc tests) be redone and approved prior to issuance
of a permit for drainfield construction. If you have any
questions, please feel free to call me during the day at 473-7357.
Sincerely,
Michael P. Gaffron
Septic System Inspector
