There appears to be insufficient space on lot 22 for a full repair. * Both systems (initial on lot 22 and repair system on lot 23) appeared to visually be functioning at the time of this inspection, however no guarantee can be given as to either one's longevity. * Do not drive, grade, cut, or fill on or around either septic system.

Approved ® Not Approved ❑ Reason Evidence of System Mau' nction: YES ❑ NO ® System Type/Description IIa ~Id Ib A ORIZED STATE AGENT P VAL DATE NOT FOR LOAN APPROVAL Mill Creek Subdivision - Lots 22 and 23 Synopsis of events Lot 23: 1/28/10 Received application for Improvement Permit. 2/2/10 Called and spoke to applicant. Verified that lot was ready to be evaluated. 2/8/10 Met on site with applicant and Mike Cash. Applicant explained that he wanted to replace the existing mobile home with a new larger mobile home. If possible he wanted to increase bedrooms (from 3 to 4). Told him that our office would need to verify the specifics of the existing septic system. We also will need to do a soil evaluation to determine that the lot has sufficient repair area. This is standard operating procedure for every lot evaluation we do. Additionally, we need to resolve the issue of the easement that currently exists on this lot. 2/8/10 After applicant left the site, I attempted to locate all the components of the septic system. I found the tank and two trenches. I thought that there was a third trench, but I was unable to determine it as fact. 2/9/10 Called applicant. Explained that I was only able to verify that there were 2 trenches. 2 trenches is not sufficient for a 3 (or 4) bedroom house. Applicant asked that I speak with the owner. 2/9/10 Called owner, Chris Hewitt and explained situation. He thought there were 3 trenches installed. I told him that he could uncover a portion of the system and prove it. 2/10/10 Charlie Brice (septic installer) called. He said he had uncovered the distribution box and there were 3 lines. He flagged the 3 third trench. 2/11/10 Made site visit. Verified third trench. Did soil evaluation. Called and spoke to Mike. We concluded that we could not issue the improvement permit so long as the easement existed on the lot. Mike called and spoke to owner regarding easement issues. I will hold application until situation is resolved. 3/9/10 Improvement Permit denied based on insufficient space. Lot 22: 2/26/10 Received application for "existing system check". It needs to be established that this lot has an existing system and a repair area, prior to eliminating the easement on lot 23. 3/2/10 Attempted to contact owner to let him know that I'd go out as soon as weather permitted, however I could not reach him or leave a message. 3/4/10 Made site visit. Located all system components and measured all relevant distances. There appears to be insufficient space on this lot for a full septic system repair. Spoke with Mike. Will hold this application until a decision has been made as how to proceed. 3/9/10 "Existing System Check" issued. Conclusions Lot 22 has an existing system. Lot 22 also has a repair; its repair is the system that has been installed on lot 23 and is currently connected to the house on lot 23. This "repair" system is recorded as an offsite septic easement and indicated on septic permit (filed under owner: Lauern Hewitt, dated 3/26/90). This means that lot 22 has both initial and repair. Moreover, our office can approve the applied for "existing system check". Lot 23 does not have a "legal" septic system. The septic system on this lot belongs to lot 22 and will act as lot 22's repair system. This means that lot 23 must have sufficient space for an initial system and a repair system. It is my finding that insufficient space exists on the lot for this requirement, as it has been applied for. Based on this I will be denying the improvement permit. At this point it will be incumbent upon the owner to propose a scenario in which we can permit a full septic system and a full septic system repair for lot 23. This may require the services of a surveyor and/or soil scientist. t pr~de~a i ~ O d X A N 3 x ~3F ~ o G V W .3 w c O ~ x oa
