Dear Mr. Covell: The Greater Anchorage Area Borough, Department of Environmental Quality received a complaint on March 8, 1972 regarding the sewage problem at the subject address. After responding to this complaint it was found that there was a sewer plug in the line serving your trailer. This sewer plug is located approxi- mately under the trailer now owned and lived in by the Howells and caused the sewage to back up under your trailer and flood across the road. This sewage became an immediate hazard to the Central Alaska Utilities public well located across Kluane Drive. For this reason, the water service to your property was terminated on March 17, 1972. You are hereby officially notified that this property is to remain vacant until such a time as the sewer line serving this property is repaired. These repairs are to be coordinated with this Department and to be inspected by this Department prior to burial. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please con- tact the undersigned.

Rumfelt Sanitarian Overflowing Sewage on Lot 24, Kluane Terrace ~states Subdivision, Addition #1. On .-."~arch ~., 1977 this office received a complaint from the ~r~ater Ancl~orage Area Borough, Public ,~H)rks ~)epartment, con- cornine over!=towinq sewage on the sub'iect lot, Upon ins?ection, )ira Rumfelt observed sewage flowing over the west end of said lot and crossing Klua~e Drive to wii:i]in 60 feet o~ a Central Alaska Utilities ~ublic wellhouse. On ~arch 9, 1972 ~,Ir. Rumfelt dye(! the sewer system of ~,Ir. ~ob Ho~ell, owner of s~id lot, re~, to determine if his trailer was involve~. On March 10, 1972 )~r. Rumfelt dyed the sewer system of Hr. Covell, who is renting a trailer space on said lot, blue. 'This dye was added approximately lQ hours after said system was steamed open, On March ll, 1972 Mr. Rumfelt observed blue dye present in the sewage crossing the reed. At that time, Mr. Rumfelt a)so ob- served a pool of sewage beneath Mr. Covell's trailer, and sewage effluent flowing from the connection of the trailer's plumbing Borough Attorn~ March 16, lg72' Page Two and the underground sewer line. On March 13, 1972 a five day warnin§ to repair the service line was issued to Mr. Howell's son, as Mr. Howell is presently ab- sent from the state. A one day warning to abstain from using tile sewer until completion of re~air on the service line was issued to Mr. Covell. On ~arch la, !97~ Mr. Rumfelt observed and talked to a Rotor Rooter employee who was working on ~r. Covell's sewer service line. He stated the line was either broken or blocked by rodks 2q feet from Mr. Covell's trailer and woul(~ close again soon. Uoo~l bei~ notified o'~ these findings hy ~r. Rum{elt, Mr~ How- ell's son stated he had telephoned }lis father and his father had instr~cted him not to rer~air the li~e. In evaluating this situation the following should be noted: ~. tqr. Covell'$ trailer and over¢lowing sewage is uphill from a Central Alaska Utilities nublic well. ?. The dye traces show the path of thc sewaoe to be down tile hill, crossing the street, and flowing approximately 60 feet from the Central Alaska Utilities public well towards Chester Creek. 3. Any grooving in the roadway, perpendicular to satd roadway, between Mr. Covell's trailer and the Central Alaska Utilities well could resul~ tn funneling the sewage straight t.o the well. 4. Only temporary work has bee~ performed on the said sewer system, thus further failure is assured. Mr. Howell will not Borouoh Attorn( N~rch 16, 1972 Pa~e Three allow his son to perform permanent rf~pair on the line. In summary, it is this official's opinion that Mr. Covell's water mu~t be shut off until permanent repair to his service line has been completed. If this is not done the situation may worser~ with the contamination of a Centra~ ~laska Utilities public well. May 19, 1972 r,ir.
