No 627 — State License#394 — Phone 763-497-3566 — Fax 763-497-5011 www.sptesting.wastewater@comcast.net— schirmerswastewater.com August 3, 2015 RECEIVED AUG 0 4 2015 Carolyn Kozloski CITY OF ORONO 405 old Crystal Bay Rd. -5. Orono, MN A Compliance inspection was completed for the existing on-site sewage treatment system located on this property. The system consists of 1- 1500 gallon split reversed septic tank (500 gallon trash trap-1000 gallon pump chamber pump #1), a 500 gallon Multi-Flo Wastewater Treatment system, 1-1500gallon pumping chamber (pump #2) & a 900sq.ft seepage bed built on 8-3-03. The system was designed as a Performance System under Minnesota Chapter 7080.0179 with a 1' to 1.5' separation from the bottom of the seepage bed & redox features. The system is time dosed and cannot receive more than 450 gal/day. Soil boring #1 found mottled soil (redox features) at 2.3' below the surface, elev. 97.5 & the bottom of the rock bed at elev. 98.8 leaving a 1.3' separation. Soil boring #2 found mottled soil at 2.8', elev. 96.7 below the surface & the bottom of the seepage bed at elev. 98.8 leaving a 2.1' separation. This system meets the required separation from the bottom of the seepage bed & redox features & is classified as compliant. This system has an operating permit through the City of Orono which requires service of the Multi-Flo, Monitoring the drainfleld for ponding & Fecal Coliform testing yearly with results < 2000mpn/100m1. The system has been monitored since it was installed by Schirmers Wastewater Treatment Systems, Inc. which has found no ponding in the seepage bed & fecal coliform results at < 1 mpn/100m1 to 10mpn/100m1. V f The tanks were pumped by Kothrade Sewer Water & Excavating & certified by Schirmers Wastewater Treatment Systems, Inc. & were found to be compliant. 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 2 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 This Compliance Inspection requires an Advanced Designer Signature.
