Marion County <br /> <br /> OREGON <br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT <br /> DEPARTMENT <br /> <br />DIRECTOR <br />Craig O, Luedeman <br /> <br />BUILDING INSPECTION <br />(503) 588-5147 <br /> <br />PLANNING & <br />ENFORCEMENT <br />(503) 588-5038 <br /> <br />8OARO Oi~ <br />COMMISSIONERS <br />Randall FranCe <br />Gary Heer <br />Mary Pearmine <br /> <br />ADMINISTRATIVE <br />OFFICER <br />Ken Roudybu~h <br /> <br />8/6/9l <br /> <br />VICTORIA Z~LLER <br />7555 POET ROAD SE <br />AUMSVILLE ORR. 97325 <br /> <br />SUBJ: SEPTIC SYSTEM REPAIR EVALUATION <br />SITE NUMBER; 1043 <br />LEGAL: T.$$., R.2W, SECT. 25 <br />7555 POET ROADt AUMSVILLEt ORE. 97325 <br /> <br />I revisited this property 8/5/91 and examined the two test pits that <br />your contractor prepared for the septic system repair evaluation. <br />The lot size and existing development severely limit the repair <br />possibilities and the soil conditions I observed prevent considering <br />any repair other than an alternative sand filter system. Even the <br />sand filter repair may be substandard to current rules pertaining to <br />subsurface sewage disposal. <br />I suggest that you work with your installer to lay out the proposed <br />repair for review by our department. <br /> <br />Refer to the enclosed sand filter construction detail sheet which <br />outlines the minimum construction standards, see also the setback <br />list for minimum separation distances between septic systems and <br />other features, some additional investigation may be necessary to <br />establish the location of existing septic system components. Keep in <br />mind that the existing septic tank must be pumped and inspected to <br />ensure it is watertight or whether it must be replaced with a <br />watertight dosing septic tank. <br /> <br />The septic system repair should be completed as soon as possible <br />during the dry summer season because marginal soil conditions could <br />jeopardize the repair once the soils wet up from the fall rains. <br />Submit detailed repair plans to our office for review. We would like <br />to issue the repair permit as quickly as possible to alleviate the <br />health hazard created by the failing septic system. <br /> <br />Call, if you have any questions. I am usually in the office between 8 <br />and 10 AM. <br /> <br />LEE A.
