<br />. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />CITY OF ELK RIVER <br />JULY 30, 1992 <br />PAGE TWO <br /> <br />System sizing could have a negative effect if it is too small. Again, this item should <br />not be used to determine conformance given the short period of the extension. <br /> <br />Setbacks are only a concern when they are not met relative to a well. In the <br />Westwood Area many wells are shallow, requiring a 100 foot setback. If the well <br />setback is not met, the well should be investigated to see if there are any negative <br />impacts. If there are, the system would be considered nonconforming. <br /> <br />STEPS 8 & 9 These deal with maintenance and would not be a major concern given a maximum <br />extension of two years. <br /> <br />STEP 6 <br /> <br />STEP 7 <br /> <br />If the analysis of an onsite system gets to this step with no problem areas noted, the <br />system would be considered conforming and would quality for an extension. <br /> <br />We hope this information is helpful in setting up an extension process. Reviewing a system <br />against this criteria should be relatively inexpensive since it only requires a site inspection, a soil <br />boring and a well water test if the setback is not met. It would be relatively easy to set up a form <br />for a homeowner to have a certified septic system installer use to review a system using this <br />criteria. <br /> <br />STEP 10 <br /> <br />If you have any questions, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />MAIER STEWART AND ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> <br />.~Wff~ <br />Te; ;ii(u~~;' ;.E. <br /> <br />TJM/ks <br /> <br />enc. <br /> <br />116-3oo1.JUL <br />
