On March 11th, 2024, and April 10th, 2024, representatives from the Department <br />conducted soil observations on the parcel 1403121140001. Based on the soil observations conducted by <br />Department representatives and the submitted soil observations conducted by Dave R. Brown (L3649), <br />the proposed lots appear to have 10,000 sqft of suitable soil for individual sewage treatment systems. <br /> <br /> <br />It should be noted that the soil testing conducted for these lots was preliminary and only for the <br />purpose of determining suitability of these lots to support long-term sewage treatment. Section 9.5 of <br />the Washington County Development Code, Chapter 4, Individual Sewage Treatment System <br />Regulations (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 <br />anticipated to have the most limiting conditions. Larger areas may be required where conditions <br />of use, soils, topography, or vegetation require. <br /> <br /> <br />If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at 651-430-6819. <br /> <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Jonathan Hinks <br /> <br />Jonathan Hinks <br />Environmental Specialist
