The only <br /> alternative to relocating the well would be to acquire nearby <br /> land where the nitrification field can be located. It is <br /> probable that the cost of land acquisition would exceed the cost <br /> of relocating the well. The cost of the new treatment system and <br /> associated modifications to the existing facility is estimated to <br /> be approximately $35, 000. A cost breakdown is outlined below. <br /> 3500 gallon septic tank, installed 3000 <br /> 3500 gallon pump tank, installed 3500 <br /> 1000 gallon grease trap (2 ) , installed 2000 <br /> 3000 linear feet nitrification line 13,000 <br /> Nitrification field dual header system, installed 2000 <br /> Miscellaneous yard piping, new and modified 3000 <br /> Effluent pumps (2 ) installed 1500 <br /> Pump control panel installed 1500 <br /> New 6 inch well 5500 <br /> Total $ 35,000 <br /> The outlined improvements to the Northern facility' s waste <br /> treatment system, along with the quality and depth of on-site <br /> soils, should provide adequate waste treatment capacity for the <br /> existing uses of the Northern facility for many years to come. <br /> The cost is significant, but the only alternative is to close the <br /> facility within twelve months.
