You will recall that in the mid 1970's, Ed Savoy, Owner of the Bonanza Beach Resort, constructed a sewage treatment mound on the property servicing his resort. The mound was constructed by LeRoy Feldt of Frazee, MN. 1 The mound was constructed to meet the requirements of the Minnesota IDepartment of Health regulations. ^ Feldt submitted plans to our office, they were forwarded to the State Department of Health for approval. We no longer retain a copy of those plans. If you have further questions relative to this matter, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Public Health Sanitarian Environmental Field Services RJAijf an equal opportunity employer Department of LAND & RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COUNTY OF OTTER TAIL Phone 218-739-2271 Court House Fergus Falls, Minnesota 56537 MALCOLM K. LEE, Administrator July 16, 1985 Robert Bazemore R//1 Box 82 Perham, MN 56573 Dear Mr. Bazemore: I talked with our Administrator, Malcolm Lee, regarding the sewage system on your resort. He said that since the system was installed before the Shoreland Ordinance was passed^the Health Department inspected and accepted it. However, I noticed two outhouses sitting by the dirt piles toward the back of your resort. Due to the elevation of your resort, if you wish to use these outhouses, they must be placed on sealed chambers. If you do not plan to use them as outhouses, they can be used for storage providing their seats are removed and the pits, if there are any, are filled. It may be easier to destroy them. Thank you for your cooperation during our septic snooper survey which has now been completed. A map showing the locations of plumes is in our Perham office.

LEE, Administrator May 26, 1972 Mr. E. W. Savoie Bonanza Beach Resort Perham, Minnesota 56573 Dear Mr. Savoie: I regret to Inform you that the soil absorption system you are currently installing does not meet the minimum requirements of the Otter Tail County Shoreland Management Ordinance and cannot be approved by this office. Thia decision was reached after careful and thorough review of the Ordinance in conjunction with three on-site investigations of your system. The ground water table was five (5) inches below ground surface at the soil absorption area. The Ordinance specifically states that "Where it is necessary to fill an area for construction of tile laterals, the bottom of the tile trenches shall extend not less than one foot into the original soil."V It also states that "no soil absorption system shall be installed in an area where the water table is at any time less than 6^ (six and one-half) feet below the ground level or four (4) feet below the bottom of the drain field trench. Thus, you will not be able to use this system. Sincerely, Malcolm K. Lee Administrator Shoreland Management Imb Frederick F. Heisel Art Christianson Harlan L.
