Current day enhancements such as recirculating sand filters, free access <br /> filters, and pressure distribution are not required. The result is that a sand filter system permitted today, if <br /> DWQ would even approve one, would not likely achieve an acceptable level of treatment before the effluent <br /> is discharged. <br /> At the request of Amy Black with OWASA, we surveyed some of the neighboring lots which adjoin the <br /> proposed service area. This information was provided to them to make them aware of the conditions of the <br /> soil and existing septic systems in the area immediately adjacent to the Brookfield Drive properties. I have <br /> attached the results of that survey for you to review. <br /> I understand from Paul Thames that we may be meeting about this issue sometime this week. Please let me <br /> ? know if I can answer any questions you have or provide more information about this. Thank you for your <br /> interest. <br />
