To: The Current Owner of Address 2695 DEER RUN TRL EAST
City Ordinance requires that onsite sewage treatment systems in Orono be inspected on a
periodic basis. The onsite sewage treatment system at the above address has been inspected and
the following is known about the system. A sketch of the known components of the system is
available for most properties at the Orono City Hall.
Imminent Public Health Threat
Yes
No
If yes, please contact the Onsite Systems Manager at 954-249-4626 within 10 days of receipt of
this notice. The septic system must be brought into compliance within 90 days. Failure to do so
will result in referral to the City Attorney for legal action.
System Identified as Non-Compliant
Yes _y/
No 1/
If yes, system must be brought into compliance by:
December 31, 2007
December 31, 2010
Other
Septic Tank(s) PumJ�,e�tt Needed
Yes 1/
No
The city recommends the septic tank(s) and/or lift tank be serviced and pumped out every three
(3) years. City records indicate the tank(s) were last pumped out on �� � — O�_.
The tank(s) should be cleaned through the manhole and not through the inspection pipes, this
allows for proper cleaning.

To: Orono residents on mound type septic systems
From: Willie Gibbs, ISTS Manager
Date: May 10, 2006
Re: Landscaping Do's and Don'ts for Mound Systems, Quick Reminder
Do plant and maintain a full cover of grass and keep mowed to a normal height, this grass cover aids
in the evaporation of large amounts of effluent (the fiquid left after the "other" stuff has been removed)
in the summer time and allows the mound system to help breakdown nitrogen in the effluent.
Do water the grass over the mound in extreme dry conditions, sparingly,
Do avoid unnecessary foot traffic over the mound, mow it and stay �ff of it. This is especially true in the
winter time. Even human foot traffic can cause frost to penetrate the mound resulting in potential
freezing problems.
Do inspect your mound system annually for winter kill, (reseed i` necessary) animal damage,
(burrowingj or signs o�potential failure.
Do not plant trees or shrubs on the mound system, smaller trees and shrubs may be pianted at the
edges. Remember, that sunshine is the key to a healthy mound system.
Do ask questions, if you have any concerns or questions concerning your rv�ourad syster�
please feel free to call me, a can be reached at 952-249-4626.

This lot has a primary and secondary site that will treat the wastewater generated in
a single-family dwelling. These were the only areas tested for suitability, there are
no other available sites on this lot The system will need to be redesigned and
installed per MN Statute 7080. A mound type system w-ill need to be installed
because of the high seasonal water table.
Drainage and final landscaping
All surface water must flow away from the tank and drain field area. A drainage plan
should be completed to insure that surface run off from the hill,buildings, and driveway
drain away from the system before construction begins.
GENERAL
The tank location may be adjusted depending where the home is finally located. A
. final design will need to be completed before actual construction begins. This is a
preliminary design,the actual system will need to be designed for the home that will
be built on this lot. The final design will use the egistins drain field sites, but must
adjust to the number of bedrooms, water use appliancEs, and other circumstances
that wil particular to the constructed home.

Estimated at 750 gallons per day(gpd) for a five bedroom dwellin�.
B. Septic Tank Liquid Volumes
# of septic tanks =2 capacity=each, 1500 gallons
Lift station capacity= I500 �allons
C. Soils (refer to soils log and percolation data sheets that follow)
1. Depth to restricting layer=23"
2. Depth of percolation tests = 12"
3. Texture of soils are Clay loam with a high perc rate of 53 minutes per inch.
4. Land slo =3 to 5% maY.
D. Rock Layer Dimensions
1. Multiply flow rate by .83 to obtain required area of rock layer: A x 0.83 =
750 x .0.83 =630 scLuare feet
2. Rock bed width will be 10 feet
3. Length of rock layer is the square feet area/width=
630/ 10= 631ineal feet
E. Rock Volume
1. Multiply the rock area by the rock depth to determine the cubic feet of rock:
630 x 1 =630 cubic feet
2. Divide the cubic feet by 27 cu. Feet to determine the cubic yards:
630/27= 24 cubic yards
3. Multiply the cubic yards by 1.4 to determine the weight of rock in tons:
24 x 1.4 =32 tons of clean washed a r ate rock.

3. Calculate the absorption width ratio by dividing the rock layer loading rate of 1_2

4. Multiply the absorption width ratio by the rock layer width to determine the
required absorption width;

G. Downslope Berm Width
1. If the landslope is 1% or more,
subtract the rock layer width from the absorption
width to obtain minimum downslope berm toe:
27- 10 = 17 feet minimum downslope.
2. Calculate the minimum mound size:
a. Determine the depth of clean fill at
the upslope edge of the rock layer:
(required seperation)3' - 1.93' = 1.07 feet
b. Add the depth of clean sand for 2a, the depth of the rock layer,
and 1' for the topsoil cover needed to deternune the mound height
at the upslope edge of the rock layer;
1 + 1 +1.07= 3.07'
c. Select the table multiplier for the upslope
berm based on land slope against 4:1 berm slope.

d. Multiply the berm multiplier by the upslope
mound height to determine the upslope width;
3.33 x 3.07= 10 feet
e. Multiply the rock layer width by the landslope
to determine the elevation drop;
(lOxS)/ 100 =.Sfeet
f. Add the depth 2e to 2b to determine the

Pump Selection Procedure
A. Determine pump capacity:
Gravity Distribution
1. Minimum use is 600 gallons per hour(10 gpm)to stay
ahead of water use rate.
2. Maximum suggested for delivery to a drop box of a home
system is 2,700 gallon per hour(45 gpm)to prevent build-up
of pressure in the drop box.
Pressure Distribution
3.
a. The number of perforated laterals is 3.
b. The perforation spacing will be 3 feet on center.
c. Subtract 2 ft. from the rock layer length;
63 —2 =61 feet
d. Determine the number of spaces between perforations;
by dividing 3.c by 3.b;
61 /3 =20 spaces
e. 20 spaces+ 1 =21 perforations per lateral
f. Multiply the 3.a and 3.e to determine
the total number of perforations;
3 x 21 =63 total perforations
g. Multiply 3.f and 0.74 to determine the gpm;
63 x 0.74 =46 �allons per minute
SELECTED PU��P MINIl�ZUNI CAPACITY = 46 GPM
B. Determine the head pressure requirements.
1. Elevation difference between the pump
and the point of discharge is 8 feet.
2. Add 5 feet of head for pressure required at the
manifold if this is a pressure distriburion system.
3. Friction loss;
a. Enter the friction loss multiplier from
the table wit gpm& pipe diameter.
4.76
b. Determine the pipe length from the
pump to the discharge point. Add 25%
to the pipe length for fitting loss.
@125 x 1.25 = 156 feet
c. Calculate the total friction loss by multiplying
B.3a by B.3b and dividing by 100 and rounding up;
(4.76 x 156)/ 100 = 8 feet
4. Calculate the total head required by totaling B.1, B.2, and B.3c;
. g + 5 + g = 21feetofhead
TOTAL REQUIRED 1��'�tI'VIUM HEAD IS 21 FEET.
The pump installed must be able to deliver at least 46 gallons per minute with at
least 21 feet of head.
Log of Soil Borings taken on February 28, 1999 to evaluate the soils located on the
Thompson property on Old Crystal Bay Road, designated Lot 5, to determine the
depth to the seasonally high water table. Because of the high seasonally water table
this lot will require a mound type system.
All boring measurements are in inches unless otherwise noted. The soils are located on
the crown and shoulder slope of a knoll. The parent material is glacial till with loamy
colluvium in the Hamel soils. The soils are typed as being Hamel Loam and Lester Clay
Loam by the USDA soils survey. There was no bedrock or water present in the borings.
