Daniel Bush, RS...1526 SE Nehalem St., Portland, OR 97202-6632...(503) 231-6521 November 27, 1995 Bob Foster, R.S. Marion County Building Inspection Community Development Center 285 Church Street, NE, Room 132 Salem, Oregon 97301-3670 Re: Columbia Aviation Association Clubhouse, File No. 95-14850 Parcel No. 40159-815, T4S, R1W, Sec. 2D, Tax Lot 600, Marion County Dear Mr. Foster: I am assisting the Columbia Aviation Association (CAA) in the matter of securing approval for an on-site sewage treatment and disposal system for development of a clubhouse on the above property. Repeated efforts to make contact with you on this matter have been unsuccessful because of both our busy schedules· As a result I thought I would write in an effort to obtain needed information in this matter. First let me acknowledge that all interested parties are of the clear understanding that whatever type of system is authorized here will require a Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) permit through the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. Preliminary contact has been made with the DEQ. in this regard. As part of the WPCF application process it is necessary to provide a report on the feasibility of the property to support a standard or alternative system. In reviewing the records, the report of denial issued September 13, 1995 eludes to the fact that the tested site may qualify for a sand filter system. A review of the field notes would suggest that soil conditions would allow a sand filter system with the disposal trenches constructed to capping fill standards in equal distribution. From instructions received from the DEQ. and to avoid additional costs for more soils reports and fees, I am seeking your determination in this regard. From the study conducted would the site tested meet DEO_standards for a sand filter system? If so, what .construction criteria would be necessary in accordance with Department rules? For the purposes of answering these questions, please consider for the moment that the project does not involve a design flow of 16, 445 gallon per day as referenced in the site evalantion denial report. The CAA and the DEQ are in need of input from Marion County on the question of site suitability. It is my understanding that according to the rules the applicant is entitled to this information. It is understood that this addendum report will not qualify as an approval. Rather it will simply be a a statement of qualification based upon the soil study performed. Please be sure and reference any particular limitations (e.g. setbacks) that are applicable and any other important information you feel is pertinent to the matter. On the question of type and capacity of the system, we are evaluating flow data from the existing facility in Portland, comparing operations and seating etc. between the
