MARION COUNTY <br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT <br />BUILDING INSPECTION DIVISION <br /> <br /> CRAIG O. LUEDEMAN <br /> Director <br />Planning/En£or~ement 588-5038 <br />Building In~pectlon 588-5147 <br /> <br />Senator Building - 220 High Street NE - Second Floor · Salem, Oregon 97301-3670 <br /> <br />November 10, 1987 <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Kevin Hills <br /> PO Box 463 <br /> Detroit, Oregon <br /> <br />FROM: Robert Foster, RS <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Sewage System Setbacks from Streams. <br /> <br />This memo is in answer to your questions concerning the drain- <br />field setbacks which would be required from the stream which runs <br />through your property in Detroit. The property is identified as <br />Lots 1 through 5, Block 2 in Patton 3rd Addition Subdivision in <br />the City of Detroit. <br /> <br />The stream which runs through this property apparently flows only <br />during a portion of the year and does not flow continuously <br />throughout the year. The flow which is present at this time has <br />been identified by Detroit city officials through tests for <br />chlorine as water leakage from the city water system and is not <br />normal water flow for this area.'~ Since the stream flows for a <br />period greater than two months but does not flow continuously <br />throughout the year, it can be classified as an Intermittent <br />Stream. The D.E.Q. On-Site Sewage Disposal Rules require a <br />m~nlmum setback of fifty (50) feet between an intermittent stream <br />and a septic tank and drainfield. <br /> <br />I am sending a copy of this memo to the City of Detroit and I <br />would encourage the city to actively pursue the repair of the <br />water leak which is causing the added water flow through your <br />property. <br /> <br />I hope this answers your questions. If you have any further <br />questions, please contact me at this office. <br /> <br /> <br />
