No 627 - State License #394 - Phone 763-497-3566 - Fax 763-497-5011 www.sptesting.wastewaterC@comcast.net - schirmerswastewater.com June 12, 2025 Oliver White 605 Stubbs Bay Rd. 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 2- 1000 gallon septic tanks, 1 -1000 gallon pump tank, a pressurized mound system with a 10' x 43' rock bed, built in 1994 for a 3 bedroom home. Soil boring #1 found mottled soil (redox features) at 1.7' into the original soil & the original soil at elev. 101.1 & the bottom of the rock bed at elev. 102.4 leaving 1.3' of sand below the rock bed & a 3' separation from the bottom of the rock & redox features. Soil boring #2 found mottled soil at 1.1' into the original soil & the original soil at elev. 100.2 & the bottom of the rock bed at elev. 102.1 leaving 1.9' of sand & a 3' separation. This system meets the required 3' separation from the bottom of the rock bed & is classified as in compliance with Minnesota Chapter 7080 rules. On 6-9-25 1 probed the sand at the downslope toe of the mound & rock, both were dry, no sign of hydraulic overloading. The tanks were pumped by Kothrade Sewer, Water & Excavating, Inc. & were found to be compliant. All of the trees need to be removed in the area of the septic tanks Some are on top of the tanks. Just cut the trees off flush with the ground 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.
