We ~ to a~m~ss repair of the failing <br />drainfield serving loop C of the campground. I was requested to me~t with <br />the state Parks because Marion C~unty's only onsite sanitarian ~as on <br />vacation. <br /> <br />our investigation revealed that there are five disposal trenches leading <br />frc~n the distribution box. The top two lines are c~let~ly saturated and <br />the bottom line has surface wet spots. To make matters worse, asphalt has <br />been plac~d over the top lines during construction of the program ~.. <br />Since this camping area will be closed on Se~ 4, 1990, until next <br />spring, it ~ agreed that the bottxx/ tr~ would be abar~toned and a n~w <br />trenc~ of approximately 100 lineal feet would be installed prior to the <br />weekend for a te~poraz~ repair. In addition, if the repair was not <br />succe~fal, the facilities would Jmmmdiately be closed. As discussed, State <br />Parks will need to contact Marion County Building department and obtain a <br />repair permit. <br /> <br />As you my know, last s~amne~ there was a meeting that Joe Petrovich of our <br />staff attended with state park officials where ~lation of new <br />wastewater facilities to serve the combined flows of the Detroit Park ~as <br />discussed. The r~nt failure at loop C brings attention to the need to <br />upgrade the wastew~ter facilities. What is the status of the project to <br />replace the existing facilities? <br /> <br />Detroit. ltr <br />CC: <br /> <br />sincerely, <br /> <br />Tom <br />Envirommental Specialist <br /> <br />Bob Fester, Marion County Building Department <br />Ga/7 Sc~dt, Silver Falls State Park, 20024 Silver Falls Hwy SE, <br /> Sublimity 97385 <br />File <br /> <br />DEQ/WVR-101 1/88 <br /> <br /> <br />
