On July 20th, 2023, representatives from the Department conducted soil <br />observations on the parcel 3603121240001. Based on the soil observations conducted by the <br />Department representatives, and the submitted soil observations conducted by Ed Eklin Septic Systems <br />Design & Inspection LLC, the proposed lots appear to have 10,000 ft2 of suitable soil for individual <br />sewage treatment systems. <br /> <br />It should be noted that the soil testing conducted for these lots was preliminary and only for the purpose <br />of determining suitability of these lots to support long-term sewage treatment. Section 9.5 of the <br />Washington County Development Code, Chapter Four, Individual Sewage Treatment System Regulations <br />(Washington County Ordinance #206) states: <br /> <br />Complete soil testing on each individual lot must be conducted prior to permit issuance <br />independent of any prior subdivision or lot approval testing. For permit issuance, a minimum of <br />four (4) soil observations encompassing the proposed sewage treatment area are required. At <br />least one soil observation must be performed in the portion of the soil treatment area anticipated <br />to have the most limiting conditions. Larger areas may be required where conditions of use, soils, <br />topography, or vegetation require. <br /> <br />If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at 651-430-6819. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />Jonathan Hinks <br />Environmental Specialist
