Washington <br />County <br />October 12, 2018 <br />Todd Erickson <br />333 Main St N <br />Stillwater, MN 55082 <br />LOT SPLIT APPROVAL <br />Department of Public <br />Health and Environment <br />Lowell Johnson <br />Director <br />David Brummel <br />Deputy Director <br />On September 4, 2018, the Department received a Septic Permit Application for a lot split for the proposed <br />Preserve on Sunset Lake development. On September 11, 2018 representatives from the Department <br />conducted soil observations on Lots 1-4, Block 1 and Lots 1-9, Block 2. The geocodes for the parcels are <br />3403121310002, 3403121420001, 3403121430001, and 3403121340001. Based on the observations <br />conducted on September 11, 2018, and the submitted soil observations conducted by Septic Check, the <br />proposed lots appear to have suitable soil for individual sewage treatment systems and the Department is <br />approving the proposed subdivision as suitable to accommodate long-term sewage treatment. <br />It should be noted that the soil testing conducted for this lot was preliminary and only for the purpose of <br />determining suitability of this lot to support long-term sewage treatment. Section 9.5 of the Washington County <br />Development Code, Chapter Four, Individual Sewage Treatment System Regulations (Washington County <br />Ordinance #206) states: <br />Complete soil testing on each individual lot must be conducted prior to permit issuance independent of <br />any prior subdivision or lot approval testing. For permit issuance, a minimum of four (4) soil <br />observations encompassing the proposed sewage treatment area are required. At least one soil <br />observation must be performed in the portion of the soil treatment area anticipated to have the most <br />limiting conditions. Larger areas may be required where conditions of use, soils, topography, or <br />vegetation require. <br />Before an installation permit can be issued by the Department for a specific subsurface sewage treatment <br />system at least four additional soil borings, following the requirements laid out in section 9.5 of Washington <br />County ordinance #206, must be conducted by a designer licensed by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. <br />For each lot, rope off and protect both the primary and secondary individual sewage treatment system areas <br />from all traffic. Any excavation in the primary and secondary individual sewage treatment system areas would <br />nullify this approval and may subsequently cause the lot to be declared unbuildable. The minor subdivision is <br />approved only for the lot configuration submitted in the application. Any changes to the lot configurations will <br />nullify this approval. <br />If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at 651-430-6679. <br />ASiners <br />Environmental Specialist <br />Washington County Department of <br />Public Health & Environment <br />Joe.sanders(cD-co.washington.mn.us <br />Government Center • 14949 62nd Street North — P.O.
