DI3lfE <br />C/O BETHEL & SONS EXCAVATION INC. <br />P.O. BOX 504 <br />TURNER, OREGON 97392 <br /> <br />FiLE <br /> <br />SUBJECT: COOK'S MARKET AND MOTEL COMPLEX <br /> 175 DETROIT AVE, D~TROIT, OR 9?342 <br /> FAILING SEPTIC SYSTEM & REQUIRED REPkIR <br /> <br />I visited this property February 9, 1995, where I met with Dennis <br />Bethel and Mike Duke to review the possibilities for the repair of <br />the failing septic system at the market/motel complex_ Examination of <br />a test pit indicated that the soil conditions are suitable to <br />consider a seepage trench replacement drainfield for the repair, but <br />existing development, required setbacks and separation distances <br />prohibit installation of the appropriate seepage trench drain£ield <br />lines. <br /> <br />I understand that it might be possible to remove the small yellow <br />cabin at the back of the property and construct the drainline <br />trenches in its place. If so, I believe there will be enough spaoe to <br />install about 150 lineal feet of seepage trench. A similar amount of <br />seepage trench drainfield was installed to service the laundry room <br />and adjacent motel units in 1987. I expect about the same amount of <br />daily sewage flow load from the market and these motel units. Due to <br />the lack of space for future repairs, it is probably best not to <br />increase the sewage flow load by advertisement of public restrooms at <br />the market. <br /> <br />The repair should be completed at the earliest opportunity. There is <br />a current health hazard to the community caused by the surfacing of <br />sewage effluent which is ponded between the motel and the yellow <br />cabin. <br /> <br />Please make application for the repair permit at the City of Detroit. <br />Call, if you have any questions. I am usually in the office between 8 <br /> <br />and 10 AM, ~-/ <br /> <br />LEE A, GRIM , SOIL SCIENTIST <br />MARION COUNTY, BUILDING INSPECTIONS <br /> <br />Community Development Center · 285 Church Street N,E,, Room 132 Salem, Oregon 97301-3670 <br /> <br /> <br />
