37 <br /> Letter to Deb Christie <br /> Page 2 <br /> November 16, 1993 <br /> You requested that we determine the maximum number of homes which <br /> could be connected to the primary fields through the existing low pressure <br /> septic system without premature failure of the soils. Due to the significant <br /> amount of unsuitable soils present, the total number of homes which can be <br /> connected is, in fact, probably less than the number presently connected. <br /> Although it is difficult to determine the exact amount of provisionally suitable <br /> soils based upon the ten borings, it appears that approximately 12,000 lineal <br /> feet of low pressure trench are located in provisionally suitable soils. This <br /> would generally allow for up to 50 bedrooms or 12.5 homes, assuming 4 <br /> bedrooms per residence. <br /> While the State may continue to allow the existing homes to be served, the <br /> soil suitability means that addition of new homes, expansion in the number of <br /> bedrooms of existing homes, and the rebuilding of any homes that might be <br /> destroyed for example by fire is not likely to be approved. Due to the severe <br /> soil limitations on the property, I recommend that you seriously consider <br /> other wastewater alternatives to serve the subdivision. <br /> I am sorry to report these problems to you, but I know you want to have an <br /> accurate assessment of the situation. Please contact me if you have any <br /> questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> B SSOCIATES, P.A. <br /> S <br /> Ph.D. <br /> ;ys' <br /> �a�rrr s, Ph.D. <br /> cientist <br /> BLK085:cr <br /> Enclosures <br />
