Dear Mr. Kellison
A recent site inspection revealed a swamp at 75 feet of the
proposed primary and reserve drainfields . Wac 246-96-100 requires
that a drainfield be located at least 100 feet from all surface
water. Below are some options you may wish to consider:
1) apply for a variance which may reduce the setback to
surface water from 100 feet to 75 feet.
2) contact the appropriate agencies regarding the
possibility of filling the swamp to eliminate the surface
water setback.
If you choose option one then you will need to contact a designer
and have him/her design and stake-out a sewage disposal system
incorporating a curtain drain. After this is completed an accurate
measurement can be taken and a variance applied for. The design
and stake-out are required for all Mason County Septic permits and
are not extra items just for this lot.
If you choose option two, then we will need confirmation from the
appropriate agencies that filling in the swamp was approved.
If you have any questions regarding the options you have, then
please fill free to call me at 427-9670 ext . 358 .
Sincerely
