Cmmr. Faughender asked how the repairs are coming.
Mr. Tompkins responded there is half of the repairs completed of those which have been found. There are
people in various stages of repairing their systems.
This doesn't reflect those that have designs in or posted for non-occupancy. They are in various stages of repair.
Chairperson Hunter asked how the staff is on schedule for completing the survey and repairs.
Mr.Tompkins stated they anticipate 5,220 homes in the district which leaves approximately 2,000+ parcels left
to go in twelve months with three people working in the district. The biggest setback is getting hold of the
residents to complete the survey.

Chairperson Hunter asked what is happening at the lake where there are unregistered outhouses.
Mr. Tompkins responded if they are unpermitted they don't automatically classify them as a failure. There is
a setback requirement. If they are within 100 feet of designated shoreline they are considered a failure or if
there is no vertical separation it is considered a failure. Most people are choosing to abandon the outhouses.
Cmmr. Cady asked how many of the failures are drainfield related or septic system related.
Mr. Tompkins stated they don't have the information broken out.
Chairperson Hunter asked what percent of the basic gravity systems are failing.

Sue Texeira, Chairman of the Lower Hood Canal Clean Water District Advisory Board, announced they are
putting together a newsletter and asked if the Board had anything they would like to include. Also, she asked
if the next billing for the District could include the newsletter.
The Board noted the last billing went out in June 1995 and it will be going out within twelve months of that time.

getting their mail.

newsletter.
