Excelsior, MN 55331
Subject: Individual Sewage Treatment System (ISTS) Design
This is a revised version of a design submitted in May 2016. The revised design is for a four
bedroom home instead of a three bedroom home as originally submitted.
1. Leaal Description - 540 Big Island; City of Orono; Hennepin County, Minnesota
2. Site Conditions - A three bedroom, Type II, approximately 2,000 square foot residential
home is proposed. The exact footprint of the proposed home has not yet been
determined; final tank location and length of pipe may change with the final installation.
An approximately 15% slope exists at the proposed drain field location. The proposed
home will be served by a new well that will be located outside the required 50 foot
drainfield and tank isolation distances.
3. Soil Conditions - The Hennepin County Soil Survey was reviewed prior to our site visit;
the soil survey indicates the site is underlain by glaciai till deposits. The soil profile
description completed from the soil borings is found in Appendix A. The location of the
soil tests are found on Figure 2.
The site is suitable for a subsurface drain field. Seven years (2007-2014) of site-specific well
and piezometer monitoring data indicate the site does not experience seasonal saturation within
66 icnhes of the surface (depth of monitoring well), even during record high water levels and
record precipitation (May 2014). Observed soil mottling is due to calcium carbonates, iron
concretions, or relict redoximorphic features and not due to seasonal soil saturation. See
Appendix A for a Technical Memorandum submitted by Wenck to the City of Orono regarding
Big Island soils and groundwater monitoring.
Four percolation tests were conducted in the area of the proposed drain field. The most
restrictive result was approximately 9 minutes per inch. Based on the soil profile descriptions
and perc tests a loading rate of 0.45 gallons per day per square foot was selected. See
Appendix B for soil information.
4. Sizinq of Treatment Svstem - The ISTS is designed for a four-bedroom Type II
residence; the estimated daily flow for this residence is 375 gallons. Sink and toilet
fixtures need to be monitored closely to ensure proper operation. A leaking faucet or
toilet can more than dout�le the daily flow to the ISTS and cause hydraulic failure.
5. Description of the Treatment Process -
• Primary Treatment - Sewage is gravity discharged from the house to a septic
tank. Natural biological activities taking place inside of the septic tank will
separate solids and suspended particles. Solids are reduced to some extent
through this process.

Ezceptional outcomes.
• Final Treatment - Effluent is filtered through an effluent filter and pumped to a
gravity fed drain field. As the effluent trickles down into the soil biochemical
processes remove harmful viruses and bacteria.
6. Description of Treatment System - (See Figure 2 and design sheets in Appendix C for
additional detail. Contractor can select equivalent products to those described below if
they meet the requirements of local ordinance, MN Rules Chapter 7080, designer
approval, and owner approval).
• Septic Tank - Proposed: 1,500 gallon Infiltrator° IM-1530 septic tank. Inlet and
outlet of the tanks must have rubber fittings to create watertight seals.
Contractor to follow manufacturer installation and burial requirements.
• Lift Tank - Proposed: 1,000 gallon Infiltrator° IM-1060 septic tank. Inlet and
outlet of the tanks must have rubber fittings to create watertight seals.
Contractor to follow manufacturer installation and burial requirements. Tank to
include an effluent pump in a screened vault to deliver a minimum of 20 gallons
per minute with a 20 foot head. Use two-inch Schedule 40 PVC for supply pipe
from pump to the first drop box.
• Septic/Lift Tank Risers - 24" diameter heavy corrugated PVC pipe. A watertight
seal must be created between top of tank and the each riser using a tank to riser
adapter and sealing the riser to the adapter with appropriate waterproofing
agents. Top of riser should be 1" - 3" above finished grade.
• Septic/Lift Tank Riser Cover - 24" diameter fiberglass cover with gasket and
minimum 2" of insulation. Do not bury riser cover.
• Drain Field - Excavate the drain field at the location depicted on Figure 2 and as
staked on site. Contractor can vary location slightly based on field conditions to
install trenches on contour. Install trenches shallow with a maximum depth of 24
inches. Each trench is 33 feet long (32 feet of chamber with a one-foot wide
center positioned dropbox). Install seven trenches as shown on Figure 2 for a
total area of 540 square feet. Total trench length is 222 feet, or 56 chambers.
There is a large tree and a hole where a tree used to be that will conflict with
trench number 3. It is likely this tree will need to be removed, the installer is to
determine the appropriate action.
• Install 45 Infiltrator°Quick4 Standard gravelless chambers. Effluent will be
distributed through drop boxes. Install the chambers as recommended by the
manufacturer. Cover the gravelless chambers with 12-18 inches of cover and
slope away. Establish a vegetative cover over the drain field immediately. See
Appendix D for tank and chamber manufacturer's specifications.
7. Limitations - Our investigation, layout, design, and recommendations are based on data
submitted. If conditions considerably different from those described in this report are
encountered, we must be notified. If proposed construction or components are
changed, we must be notified to evaluate the effect of the changes on the wastewater
system. Any changes to the design must be approved by the designer and will be
assessed additional design costs. If changes are made to the design without the

To: Roger Peitso, Building Official, City of Orono
From: Peter Miller
Professional Soil Scientist (42636)
Advanced Designer/Inspector (2341)
Date: March 8, 2016
Subject: 540 Big Island
Purpose
The subject property is a 3.2 acre lot on the southwest end of Big Island on Lake
Minnetonka. The property is currently owned by Mr. Gabbriel Jabbour and is for sale. Mr.
Shawn Wischmeier has expressed interest in the property and has requested this
correspondence with the City of Orono with the ultimate goal to obtain an Individual Sewage
Treatment System (ISTS) permit for a proposed cabin on the lot. Due to the time of year, it
is not practical to visit the site with the City until spring conditions allow. This memo is
intended to inform you as to the background, history, and research that has occurred on the
subject site and on Big Island. Our intent would be to submit an ISTS design in spring-
summer 2016 for approval and permitting.
The goal of this memo is for you to concur with the determination that an in-ground ISTS is
suitable for the site to give the potential buyer assurance that an ISTS permit can be issued
in the future.
Background
Big Island is a series of kettle lakes connected by channels and streams, with an underlying
soil parent material of glacial till. Big Island, like other islands on the lake, is a glacial
deposit of calcareous loamy-clayey soil with undulating, moderate to steep, topography. The
Hennepin County Soil Survey maps most of the upland portions of Big Island as Minnesota's
state soil; the Lester series.
Lester soils are very prevalent across central and southern Minnesota with a commonly
distinguished olive brown color in the subsoil with a loam to clay loam texture. On Big
Island it is common to see these soils in the summit, shoulder, and back slope landscape
positions, with slopes ranging from 6%-20%.
Lester soils in these upper landscape positions are typically classified as well drained;
meaning they are dry, bright colored, and feature a depth to free water greater than 5 feet
below the ground surface. What has confused ISTS practitioners over the years is the
presence of features in the soil that appear to be contemporary redoximorphic features, i.e.
signatures in the soil that make it look seasonally saturated. These include reddish iron
concretions, grayish iron depletions, and whitish calcium carbonates threads.
When looking at redoximorphic features in the soil it is important to look at the
preponderance of evidence to determine if the features you are observing are indicators of

contemporary wetness. A Professional Soil Scientist (PSS) is similar to an archeologist in
that we need to determine what was here thousands of years ago and why do we see what
we see today. We weigh all available evidence to determine how the landscape formed, how
the soil formed, and what factors (climate, relief, vegetation, organisms, geology/parent
material, precipitation, run-on/off, etc.) contribute to the current morphological features
observed in the soil.
The Soil Conservation Service (now the Natural Resource Conservation Service) used PSS to
conduct the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Soii classifications and descriptions are based
on consideration of all the factors mentioned above, including contemporary versus historic
hydrologic considerations. In previous versions of the Soil Survey the Lester series had the
term "relict redoximorphic features" included within the series description. PSS who mapped
these soils looked at all the evidence and determined that these glacial soils in upper
landscape positions exhibited features that indicated wetness at some time in the past
(thousands of years perhaps), but it is not contemporary.
While ISTS practitioners receive training to interpret soil science to the best of their abilities,
the economic realities of the industry do not allow for a deeper verification of what they see.
When challenged, and with the potential to enter a lawsuit over a soil interpretation, it is
not surprising an ISTS practitioner would be conservative in their interpretations. After
pressure from the ISTS industry, because ISTS practitioners were incorrectly applying the
relict tag to currently saturated soils as a "way out of a mound", the NRCS removed the
term relict from series descriptions in Minnesota. Many soil series in other states (South and
North Dakota for example) still maintain the relict description.
Big Island
We have been evaluating soils and ISTS suitability on Big Island from 2002-2016. At this
same time we have been concurrently evaluating similar glacial soils across western
Hennepin County, Carver County, Meeker County, McLeod County, and Wright County
where similar glacial geology exists to Big Island.
In the early 2000's we were making interpretations for ISTS suitability on Big Island for
subsurface ISTS drain fields. At that time we were completing soil verifications with the City
of Orono before soil verifications were required by rule. Then City of Orono ISTS Inspector
Matt Bolterman visited as many as a dozen sites to witness the completion of soil borings
for design, as well as installations. After Mr. Bolterman left, Willie Gibbs made visits to Big
Island to review monitoring wells and piezometers installed on the island and to review
soils. Mr. Gibbs visited the subject site at 540 Big Island around 2009. The third inspector
we visited the island with was Loren Kohnen of Metro West Inspections in 2014. City of
Orono records should have recorded these visits for the following properties:
540 Bi Island 510 Bi Island 150 Bi Island

Exceptional outcomes.
Around the mid-2000's our ISTS work on Big Island was questioned because we disagreed
with some ISTS practitioners' soil interpretations. In response, we decided to install
piezometers and monitoring wells on the properties highlighted above. The first set of
piezometers and wells were installed at 170 Big Island for the Palm family and monitored
for three years. The results of the monitoring showed that the features in the soil were
relict. Documentation was submitted to the City of Orono and an ISTS was permitted and
installed.
Subsequent to that investigation, additional piezometers and monitoring wells were installed
at other properties in 2007-2008. Over 10 years of monitoring has occurred on Big Island.
Concurrently, we were monitoring others sites in Hennepin County in similar soils at varying
landscape positions.
Here is what we have learned so far: Lester soils with slopes in excess of approximately 6%
on summits, shoulders, and upper back slopes do not receive enough water (rain and run-
on) to maintain saturation in the topsoil or subsoil for long enough durations to cause an
anaerobic condition that could affect ISTS effluent treatment. When observing the Big Island
sites at the wettest and highest water times of year (including May 18 and 22, 2014 when
Lake Minnetonka approached the 100-year high water level), no free water was observed in
any of the piezometers or monitoring wells. The soil texture, slope, and upper landscape
positions of these sites shed water down slope and prolonged seasonal saturation does not
occur.
Investigation at 540 Big Island
The property was first investigated in 2007 with the completion of soil borings in the central
portion of the lot near the top of a rise. The top of the rise is a logical location for a cabin
and the soil borings were completed in the general vicinity with the purpose of determining
ISTS suitability. The soil parent material for the area features high chroma loam soils with
threads of calcium carbonates (often misidentified as low chroma iron reductions) and
reddish iron concretions. These features were observed on the soil borings at 540 Big
Island. These soil features are a result of the soil parent material, and not a fluctuating
seasonal water table. Saturated conditions were not observed in the soil borings, or in the
three piezometers and one monitoring well installed in October 2007 and monitored through
2014, so an in-ground trench system is proposed.
In conclusion, the site is suitable for a subsurface drain field. Seven years (2007-2014) of
site-specific well and piezometer monitoring data indicate the site does not experience
seasonal saturation within 6 feet of the surface, even during record high water levels and
record precipitation (2014). Observed soil mottling is due to calcium carbonates and iron
concretions, and not due to seasonal soil saturation. Any observed redoximorphic features
should be considered relict, and not representative of current hydrologic conditions.
