WASHINGTON COUNTY OFFICE BUILDING • STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 <br /> WILLIAM A. SCHWAB <br /> COUNTY PLANNING COORDINATOR <br /> Tom Crever <br /> Hugo Building Inspector <br /> 12942 Ingersoll Av N <br /> Stillwater, Mn 55082 <br /> March 8, 1973 <br /> Ref: Review of Percolation Tests - Baylan Property <br /> Dear Tom <br /> At your request 1 have reviewed the two separate sets of soils information that <br /> was done for the 5 acre tract of land owned by Mrs Baylan, which is located <br /> in the northwest 4 of Section 8. In addition to reviewing the two sets of soil <br /> information I made an on-site inspection of the property with Mr Martin Ziebell <br /> of the Washington County Soil & Water Conservation District. We inspected <br /> the holes that had been dug by each of the firms when they ran their soil boring <br /> • and percolation tests. It appeared from the soil conditions and from the dirt piles <br /> around the holes that both tests, as taken, were accurate. The problem arises <br /> in that there was a small ridge of land running through the property, this ridge <br /> was high enough to provide adequate depth so that the tests run by Mr Hult did <br /> not encounter a water table problem, also this ridge had a better soil therefore <br /> providing a better percolation rate. The problem is the ridge is not largeenough <br /> to provide an adequate area for the installation of a septic system. <br /> After consultation with Martin Ziebell it is my recommendation that no building <br /> permits be issued at this time since the soil conditions are such that it's very <br /> questionable whether an on-site sewer disposal system would properly function. <br /> Mr Ziebell has agreed to accompany me later this spring, after the frost is out <br /> of the ground to make additional soil borings to try and locate an area where the <br /> soils are such that a system will properly function. If we can generally locate <br /> an area then it would be necessary for Mrs Baylan to have additional boring and <br /> percolation tests run to accurately define the area for the drainfield and come up <br /> with sufficient information for the design of said drainfield. Depending upon • <br /> weather conditions and work load we should be able to complete our preliminary <br /> investigation and have staked out areas where additional tests should be run by <br /> Mrs Baylan around the middle of May. <br /> WHERE MINNESOTA WAS BORN <br />
