We were requested to evaluate the capacity at the Alderbrook water system since you were Involved in the enlargement of the Alderbrook Inn. In addition, the possibility for increased vater"use dne to additional lot sales existed. Review of our files indicated that in the spring of 1975. Eric W.1 S18 1e of this office contacted you On Oat least tUC occasions to indicate that the4et6nd portion of the Alderbrook voter "at= had not received state approval.

Johnson 1r1 Alderbrook Ina Union, WA 98592 " Ye: Alderbrook Water System, Mason County Dear Mr. Johnson: Don Leaf of the Thurston - Mason Health District, and I enjoyed meeting with you this past March 5 to discuss the present status of the Alderbrook water system. In view of this meeting and the subsequent inspection, we would like to make the following comments: 1. "As built" plans for this water system were initially approved by this Department in 1965. This approval consisted of distribution piping for the west side of the development, a well, reservoir, and pumping facilities. The need for the development of a comprehensive plan and submission of plans and specifications prior to any construction - was discussed at that time. In June1968, plans and specifications were submitted by Whitacre Engineers. This consisted of drawings for the remaining half of - - the distribution system, and a second well and pumping station similar to the first installation. This submission was reviewed and a letter asking for several items of information was directed to the project engineer. ' A complete and satisfactory response to this letter was never received, _ and as a result, approval was never given for this second stage of con- struction. ' 2. WAC 248-54-350 requires a minimum protection radius of 100 feet for a pub- lic water supply well. A copy of a restrictive covenant providing this protection is contained in the enclosed "blue book". Such protection is required for both wells and copies of the covenants should be pro-' vided to this Department. 3. The minimum size pipe allowed in a distribution system is 2 inch. The 1968 review letter from this Department was concerned that line under 2 inch, which was shown on the engineering plans, not be installed. Is there distribution line under 2 inches in diameter installed within the . second portion of the development? ' 4. Bacteriological samples should be submitted on a quarterly basis. I believe that Ms. Dilworth of the Thurston Mason Health Distrrct has already contacted you regarding this requirement. Samples for chemical analysis from each well should be submitted at this time. HEALTH SERVICES DIVISION JUN 8 1977 doh" A. 0oxe UO.. DIICL(n/ P. O. Ono tIDe. Olymo,a. WA 9850Q ."-- Mr. Wesley M. Johnson ' March 24, 1975 Page 2 Containers,are being mailed under separate cover. 5. Irrigation requirements for the golf course have a significant effect ! upon water usage, and this subject -should be discussed in the engineering report. 6. We were particularly impressed with the operation and maintenance of the existing water supply facilities. Mel West is doing an excellent job as utility superintendent. We would encourage him to participate in the Voluntary Water Works Certification Program, and a memo , discussing a Basic Water Works class was mailed to Mel earlier this week. In summary, "as built" plans and specifications of the existing system and an engineering report discussing present system capabilities, future needs, and design criteria should be submitted for approval. It is important that a system of this size have a comprehensive plan to follow so that .. future source and storage can be accurately predicted and such an assessment should be included in the engineering report. Please feel free to contact me if you should have any questions. My phone number In Olympia is 753-0171. Sincerely,, / .Ga <{/ - Eric W. Slagle Water Supply Specialist EWS:sa cc.

I felt that clarification of my March 24th letter regarding the Alderbrook water.system was needed. i As was discussed, the second portion of this system consisting of a well, re- servoir and distribution piping, has never been approved. Because of this, "as built" engineering plans and specifications for this half of the system 'must be submitted for review and approval. An engineering report discussing present system capabilities, future needs and design, criteria must also be prepared and submitted so that future source and storage needs can be accur- ately determined. . It is our understanding that the property report which was filed with the _ State land Development Registration Office does not disclose the fact the water system at Alderbrook is not State approved. In light of this, we would recommend that the necessary information be submitted in the near future so that the system can be approved and further complications can be avoided. Please call me at 753-0171, if you have any questions. Sincerely, �! L... Eric W.
