January 29, 1988 MARION COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT BUILDING INSPECTION DIVISION Senator Building · 220 High Street NE - Second Floor · Salem, Oregon 9~301-3670 Aurora Colony Historic Society P.O. Box 202 Aurora, Oregon CP, AIG ~ LUEDEMAN Dir~or Buildir~ Inap~tio~ 500-SM7 SUBJECT: 15009 Second Street, Aurora Sewage Complaint An investigation was made at the above address on January 15, 1988 in response to a complaint received in this office. It appeared that sewage was discharging to the surface of the ground at the northwest corner of the property. A tracer dye was placed in the toilet and in the bathroom sink at 2:05 PM on that date to determine if sewage from this residence is discharging to the surface of the ground. Mr. Dick Johnson, City of Aurora, observed the dye on the ground surface in the area of the suspected sewage on January 20, 1988. There is a possibility that the problem may be in the plumbing rather than the septic system. It appears that the plumbing may be in two separate systems each discharging to separate septic systems. If this is the case, the plumbing should be changed so that all of the sewage from the house discharges to the septic tank. The Department of ~nvironmental Quality On-Site Sewage Disposal Rules state that the discharge of sewage or septic tank effluent onto the surface of the ground constitutes a public health hazard and is prohibited. It is, therefore, necessary to make repairs at the above address to eliminate the sewage dischaTge to the ground surface. An application must be .submitted to this office for either a Plumbing Pe~lt or an On-Site Sewage Disposal Repair Permit. The application must be received by this office within fourteen (14) days and the repairs must be completed within thirty (30) days from the date of this letter. If you have any questions, please contact this office. hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 to 4:30. REGISTERED SANITARIAN Our office
