NE, Hanover, MN 55341 <br />(763) 498-8779 Fax (763) 498-8290. <br />May 11, 2022 <br />Garrett Gronberg <br />65 Stubbs Bay Road N. <br />Orono, Hennepin County <br />This on-site Sewage Treatment System is designed add a two-bedroom system and use the existing three-bedroom <br />system to make a Type I five -bedroom system in accordance with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Chapter <br />7080 and local ordinances. The existing house is to be removed and a new house built. <br />There is not enough area to add to the three-bedroom system so a new separate two-bedroom system needs to be <br />installed. The rock beds elevations will be within one tenth of a foot of each other. Drain back can not be achieved to <br />the new two-bedroom rock bed therefore. The supply line must be laid as a force, main below the frost line. It must <br />be insulated at the lift station and where it comes up to the manifold. <br />The existing three-bedroom mound system is compliant to Chapter 7080 the rock bed has a 2.8 foot separation to the <br />periodically saturated soils. The tanks need to be pumped and certified. <br />The periodically saturated soils for the new system were located at 12 inches (mottled soil). Due to the periodically <br />saturated soils, a pressurized mound system with 6 inches of rock will need to be installed to treat the septic effluent. <br />The bottom of the treatment area must be located at least 3' above the saturated soils. This system is designed with 6 <br />inches of rock. <br />The existing septic tanks must be certified to be used. If they can be used the risers must be replaced. If the tanks need <br />to be replaced a new 1500 -gallon combination septic tank needs to be installed. There is no lift in the basement or a <br />garbage disposal in the new house <br />All tanks need to be insulated if there is less than two feet of cover over the top of the tanks. Clean outs must be <br />installed on the end of the laterals for maintenance. <br />There are some large landscape rocks that will need to be removed with the back hoe before construction of the system. <br />The existing lift station may be used if it is compliant. If not a new 1250 -gallon pumping chamber will need to be <br />installed to lift the effluent to the treatment area. The power supply and switches must be located outside the manhole <br />and pumping chamber in a weatherproof enclosure. A warning device must be installed with light and sound devices; <br />this is in case of a pump failure. A flow measurement device must be installed. Including but not limited to a water <br />meter, event counter, running time clocks or electronically controlled dosing, <br />Keen all heavy a ui ment off of the ra osed treatment areas before durinsE and after construction. The area <br />around both sites must be fenced off by the contractor before any construction begins. <br />With proper installation and maintenance, this system should have no problem in treating septic effluent effectively. <br />Nothing other than gray water, (laundry, showers, etc.) Human water and toilet tissue should be disposed of into the <br />septic tanks. Iron filters and large volume water treatment systems cannot go into the septic system. Garbage <br />disposals are not recommended. Additives must not be used they may cause harmful damage to your septic system. It is <br />recommended that you pump the septic tanks every two years. <br />Sincerely, <br />Joseph J.
