It is estimated that the existing SSTS contributesannually to the environment 83 pounds of phosphorus and 4.96 x 10 13 colony forming units ofcoliform bacteria that would otherwise be removed via a compliant SSTS (Appendix A). Inaddition, a compliant mound type of SSTS for treatment of wastewater would remove anadditional ~45% more total nitrogen from the wastewater (~177 lbs/year) than the existing, noncomplaintdrainfield type of SSTS.2.5 SUMMARYOf the existing 14 properties that were evaluated and generate wastewater, all are in noncompliance.The properties are considered non-compliant due to surfacing effluent, a drainfieldthat fails to protect groundwater, and non-compliant septic tanks.T:\2797-01 Chisago County\CAR\ROLLINGS SHORES CAR 090712.docx2-6
