Hope there is nothing too major that impacts your project. . Based on your comments, it sounds as if things are good on the septic end. To rather obvious things to add. One - things are good 10 go -assuming Ihat th-e current seplic system is not failing. Two - you can remain on existing septic until public sewage is available - assuming the existing septic continues 10 function adequately. If the drainfield fails, e.g. sewage is puddling on the ground then, you'll either need to repair/replace the existing septic or connect to sewer. No stormwater should be directed on to the drainfield.

Sorry for the delay. I've made note of the distance from the S E corn!"r of our' building to the septic tank on the PDF (130 FT). This inforrnation was previously incorrect when i last emailed you. We're attending our "continuation" Deveiopment Issues Meeting (legislation has changed as of 01/01/08 so we have a second DIM) tomorrow afternoon at 2 p.m. at the (ity of Springfield and I'm hoping to have this information nailed down for the meeting if ifs at all possible. In December, you wrote me with this question: My take would be that as long as you have legal access to the septic system, as long as the proposed changes do not result in an increase in flow to the septic system, and as long as the proposed work maintains setbacks from tank and drainfieId (and does not pave, cut, or fill the drainfield), then you should be fine. Are all those conditions still true? The proposed changes (attached) do not result in an increase in flow to the septic system and our architects will setbacks from tank and drainfield. Since these conditions are all true, will we be able to proceed with our planned nad remain on the existin9 tank until public sewage is made available? Thank you so very much for your time!
