An onsite sewage disposal system must treat and dispose of sewage in a way that will not cause a public health hazard, contaminate drinking water supplies, or pollute public waters. Proper treatment in an onsite system begins with primary treatment in the septic tank. The septic tank separates the solid particles in sewage from the liquid. The liquid that comes out of the septic tank is called effluent. The effluent may then be dispersed in the soil for further treatment or discharged into a secondary treatment device such as a sand or gravel filter or other alternative treatment unit prior to dispersal in the soil. For proper treatment,the effluent must slowly infiltrate into the underlying soil. Dissolved wastes and bacteria in the effluent are trapped or adsorbed to soil particles or decomposed by microorganisms. This process removes disease-causing organisms, organic matter, and most nutrients. Effluent that comes to the ground surface(through poor soils or other problems with the system)can be a possible health hazard because it may still contain some disease-causing organisms. Soil that drains too quickly may not give the effluent enough treatment and may result in groundwater contamination. The purpose of the evaluation is to locate suitable soils in an area that is large enough for both the initial drainfield area and the replacement drainfield area. The criteria used for this site evaluation can be found in Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR)340-071. In the site inspection,the following features are evaluated: •❑❑❑❑❑❑❑❑Soil types-how well they drain and other indicators of good soil structure for treatment •❑❑❑❑❑❑❑❑Depth to evidence of groundwater •❑❑❑❑❑❑❑❑Wells located on the site or adjacent sites •❑❑❑❑❑❑❑❑Slopes, escarpments,ground surface variations,topography •❑❑❑❑❑❑❑❑Creeks or springs on the site or adjacent properties •❑❑❑❑❑❑❑❑Whether the soils have been disturbed • •❑❑❑❑❑❑❑❑Setbacks from property lines, buildings,water lines,and other utilities •❑❑❑❑❑❑❑❑Other site features that could affect the placement of your onsite system Approved Area&System Type Soil test pits and other site features were evaluated during site visits on March 27,2019. The conditions observed during these site evaluations indicate that the area around the evaluated test pits IS CAPABLE of supporting a STANDARD SEPTIC SYSTEM for the INTITIAL and REPAIR. Please refer to the approved site plans dated March 28,2019. Specific Requirements Please refer to the Soil Notes/Site Evaluation Worksheet which shows the approved areas and other details of the site visit. A DETAILED SEPTIC SYSTEM STAKEOUTIS REQUIRED prior to the issuance of a septic system installation permit. The area for the system rests on very irregular terrain. A stakeout of both initial and replacement fields must be completed to determine that the system will fit on the contour and within the area of the approved test pits. A scale drawn,detailed site plan must be submitted with the application for the installation permit. The stakeout must be inspected on the property and approved before the permit can be issued. Instructions for the stakeout are attached and are available in our office. Additional Conditions of Site Approval o 1. This site is approved for the type of disposal system described above. Peak sewage flow into the systemis limited to a maximum of 450 gallons per day,with an average sewage flow of not more than 225 gallons per day. This is normally sufficient to serve a residence with 4(four)bedrooms.Premature failure of the treatment system may occur if either of these flow quantities is exceeded. If, for some reason,you expect your water use may exceed these flows,it may be advisable to increase the size of the treatment system. 2. Any alteration of natural soil conditions(i.e.cutting, logging,or filling)in the acceptable area may void this approval. Continued disturbance in the area of the approved test pits is highly discouraged. 3. Both the initial and replacement disposal areas are to be protected from traffic, livestock and farming activities, CALL BEFORE YOU DIG...ITS THE LAW ATTENTION:Oregon law requires you to follow rules adopted by the Oregon Utility Notification Center. Those rules are set forth by Oregon Administration Rules. You may obtain copies of the rules by calling the center.(Note:The telephone number for the Oregon Utility Notification Center is 1-800-332-2344.) 3/29/19:3:55:57PM Page 3 of 4 ONS_OnsiteEvaluation pr
