MEMORANDUM �I
TO: David Benish
FROM: Rick Carter
RE: W.J. Kirtley request to amend ACSA Jurisdictional Area
DATE: August 4 , 1997
In our last telephone conversation, you asked that Mr. Kirtley
present some evidence as to the severity of the sewage problem. I
will set forth the chronology of the situation to give you a idea
of the problem.
Mr. Kirtley has been having problems with the septic system
backing up through the plumbing for the last four to five years.
It has been getting progressively worse. At first, a heavy rain or
snow would cause a back up. The ground around the septic fields
lost its ability to absorb excess water and the effluent could not
get through the drain lines. With no where else to go, it backed
up though the toilets. Now it takes much less rain to cause this
problem. Most of the time when it rains, he has the tank pumped to
provide space for the back up. In rainy periods, this pumping has
been as much as twice a week.
Mr. Kirtley has taken measures to attempt to alleviate the
problem. He has diverted water run-off from the roof of the
building away from the drain fields and has dug ditches around the
fields to elevate the field area. However, since this property
lies down hill from U.S. 250, there is always a considerable amount
of water running off and overwhelming the site.
I believe that this is a request truly based on hardship. The
current drain field is on its last leg. If we wait until it fails
completely, we will have over twenty people who work in the
building displaced until we can request being added to the
jurisdictional area. Mr. Kirtley is not asking for an expansion of
his current use or the construction of other buildings , he is only
asking for assistance in addressing this serious problem.
I hope this information is helpful . Call me if I can provide
you with anything else.
