Introduction:
On June 15, 2005, Thomas Nelson, CSTM, Environmental By Design conducted a soil and site evaluation
on property owned by Collova Brothers Inc., located in the SE1/4, SWl/4, Section 5, T29N-17W, town of
Hammond, platted as lot 13 of Farm View Ridge subdivision, this purpose being to determine the highest
level of seasonal soil saturation so that a POWTS might be installed. This investigation revealed that the
soils were only good for an A+0 mound system through an interpretive determination as designated by the
Wisconsin Department Of Commerce's Administrative Code, Comm 85.
Methodology:
Backhoe pits were provided for four borings, 1 through 4, with interpretations of the sites suitability being
conducted by using soil redoximorphic features, soil texture, soil structure, soil color pursuant to the
guidelines under Chapter Comm 85 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code and using the USDA-NRCS soil
descriptive system.
During this field investigation the landscapes morphological features, vegetation, and hydrology was
determined for the purpose of this interpretive Determination as defined in Comm 85.60(2) of the
Wisconsin Administrative Code.
Upon completion of the collected field data, which included the accurate measurement of the sites featured
parameters, site plans, system design, and this interpretive report have been developed for review. The
intent is to demonstrate that a minimum of 6 inches of unsaturated soil exists on this site and any
influencing factors on this would allow the compliant installation of a mound system serving a residential
use for this property as allowed under Comm 83.44(3)(b) of the Wisconsin Administrative Code.
Local Hydrology:
The local hydrology of this site is influenced by the average of 30 inches of precipitation received. The soil
properties and localized topography both influence water movement on this property. Seasonal issues such
as frozen ground and warm temperatures also have their influences during the winter months when the
ground is frozen, there would be an accumulation of snow with any melting action running off the site on
the surface of the ground. Spring rains would produce additional surface runoff until the ground has
thawed. Upon thawing, the influence on groundwater levels would be minimal due to the location of the
site with its limited upslope watershed. The 3 percent surface slope would also aid the slower permeability
of the soils. Summer temperatures and plant growth would provide removal of soil moisture through
evaporation and evapotranspiration.
Local Geomorphology, Soil Disturbance, and Local Topography
The geologic interpretation of this area directly related to the glacial geology of the Eastern St. Croix
Moraine, a ground moraine that was formed by the accumulation beneath the glacier and resulted in a
composition of stony, reddish-brown glacial drift. Post-glacial windblown silts formed loess deposits that
overlays this till. Below is the Cambrian bedrock Prairie Du Chien formation, a dolitimized limestone
formation. Soil forming activities have resulted in what is known as the Northern Till Uplands soils
resulting in dark silty soils.
The site was probably originally in crop production prior to its development. Currently it is planted in
winter wheat with stem heights being 2 to 3 feet in length. This hillside has a 3 percent slopes and was
probably formed as the advancing ice scoured thec,"Vated, depositing the till material, forming
the rounded knobs of the hillside. Conditionally RECEIVED

Soil Series and Mapping Units
The St. Croix County Soil Survey has mapped this area as being of Vlasaty silt loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes,
which consists of gently sloping, moderately well drained soils. These soils are on low ridges and knolls of
ground moraines. They formed in silty sediment and the underlying clay loam till. The VaB soils of this
series are representative as described by the Soil Survey and are represented by a surface layer that is
approximately 8 inches of dark grayish brown silt loam. The subsurface layer is dark yellowish brown,
friable, heavy silt loam and about 31 inches thick. The upper part is dark brown, friable, heavy silt loam;
and the lower part is brown and dark grayish brown, very fain, mottled clay loam. The substratum, to a
depth of 60 inches, is olive brown, mottled, very firm clay loam.
Data
➢ The soils evaluation report and system design have been included with this report.
A copy of the USDA Soil Survey map that provides the soil-mapping unit described above.
➢ A USGS Topographic Map, revealing the topography of the site.
➢ POWT site plan, representing the best location and layout of the system that best treats and
distributes the systems discharge water.
Reports
Government Leroy Jansky, Wisconsin Department of Commerce Wastewater Specialist, has visited the site and found
no reason not to support the site's soils and landscape position, being suitable for an A+0 mound septic
system.
Additional Information Unique to the site
During the evaluation there was the observation of biological activity in the form of worm burrows and
roots. Worm activity was recognized at a depth of 8 inches in boring 1 and at a depth of 9 inches in boring
two, and 8 inches in boring 3. Root activity was observed at 12 inches on boring 1, 12 inches on boring 2,
and 13 inches on boring 3. It is recognized that these biological activities are normally not apparent in
zones that are saturated for long periods of time. This being a first year crop (winter wheat) and a very wet
spring, these factors further support the suggestion that this portion of the profile dries quickly after a
precipitation event.
Recommendations
The recommendation for the site would be for the site to be chisel plowed to a depth of at least 15 inches so
as to breakup the soil interface and reorient the platy structure in a more vertical position, thus aiding
infiltration. From the upside slope of the system area, 30 inches of ASTM C-33 sand lift will be placed on
the plowed area. This provides the 36 inches of vertical separation to provide the treatment of pathogenic
organisms.
The recommended mound design uses a linear loading rate of 4.5 gpd/ft and an in-situ soil application rate
of 0.2gpd/ft2. This will be accomplished by designing the absorption area to be long and narrow and
extended the down slope toe area to a 4:1 dimension, effectively increasing the basal area and eliminating
the chances of toe seepage. Additionally, the slope on the upper toe edge of the mound will be constructed
so as to be a slope with a 3:1 side slope at each end and a 6:1 side slope for the I dimension (upper slope) at
a point L/2 (this being the location at half the distance of the total length of the mound) so as to help divert
surface water from the upper slope (See included suggested mound detail plan). Finally the design requires
that a water diversion ditch be installed above the mound so as to divert surface waters from the upslope
area This should be installed with a 5:1 slope, a width of eleven feet, and oriented so that it traverses the
contour slightly, draining the run off water north and down slope of the mound area,
Conclusions
It is my belief that the soils in the area of the proposed POWS will not be saturated above 6" for seven or
more consecutive days for the following reasons:
Y The described soils in this location supports some the mapped description, which represents in its
description more sandy clay loams and silty clay in the substratum. The platy soils located in the
substratum can be over come by the deep chisel plowing so as to reorient the clay particles in a
more vertical orientation.
Y The biological activity in the soil as represented by the roots and Earth Worm presence, suggest
that the soil has not been saturated in the most recent history of the soils. These activities cannot
survive in saturated conditions.
A design with a long and narrow system representing a linear loading rate of 4.5 gallons per day
per foot and an in-site soil application rate of .0.2gpdiA2L. This configuration represents the best
distribution of the wastewater, spreading it over a longer area. With the increased height of the
mound, there is the assurance that there will be 3 feet of filtration between the bottom of the
system and the zone of saturation. Also built into the plan is the increased dimension of the
upslope of the mound, providing a 6:1 slope at the L/2 location, and the addition of a drainage
ditch above the mound. These last two additional features will minimize surface runoff onto the
mound area from higher elevations behind the system. The total design assures that the
requirements of Comm. 83.41 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code are being met so as to
properly filter the wastewater and to assure that there is no surface discharge, with discharge going
below grade.
➢ The mound septic design and management plan provides proper treatment of wastewater and
expected system longevity. Accordingly, the plan submittal addresses the methods and design for
treatment and dispersal of the wastewater below the surface as addressed by the code
requirements.
The month of May and early June had a great number of rain event days and even with this
unusual amount of precipitation the holes had no free water. Additionally, the redox features that
were observed were progressively more intense deeper in the soils profile suggesting that the
upper levels where redox features were observed were not saturated for as long of periods of time.
The final authority for this site's approval rests with the appropriate regulatory agencies: the
Wisconsin Department of Commerce and the St. Croix County Zoning officials.

An onsite soils verification was conducted at the above referenced site as per district policy for all sites with less
than four inches of unsaturated soil below the bottom of the A horizon. The intent of this investigation is to
confirm initial observations by the certified soil tester (CST) relating to the presence or absence of redoximorphic
features in the A horizon and/or subsoil. In-situ soil texture, structure, and consistence factors were also reviewed
as they relate to wastewater application rates. Other site conditions such as percent and direction of slope,
landscape position, land surface contour length, and surface water hydrology may also be noted and their effects
are factors considered in the recommendations and conclusions portion of this report.
This investigation is the second one on these lots due to a change in certified soil testers and poor weather and
lighting conditions on November 29, 2004, when the initial onsite investigation was completed.

Similar to Lot 15 below except the subsoil lacks redox features for 3-4 inches below the A horizon.
Possible plow pan tension saturation might be expected since no redox were observed immediately
below the A horizon.

P.C. Collova Site
Two other hand borings on Lot 15 revealed similar conditions. Redox features were observed in the A horizon
and in the subsoil below.
If mound systems are designed to overcome limitations of a high level of seasonal soil saturation and slow
permeability, the linear loading rate should not exceed 4.5 gpd/ft and the basal wastewater application rated
should not exceed 0.2 gpd/ft2. The additional basal area will partially compensate for the gentle land slope and
prevent wastewater leakage at the mound toe. At least 30 inches of sand lift is recommended when applying
septic tank effluent to the distribution cell of the mound to ensure proper treatment. The longest portion of the
mound must be orientated along the contour. The mound shall be constructed to divert surface water around the
mound structure as much as possible. In addition, an up slope drainage ditch should be considered if it is
determined that surface or subsurface hydrology is improved by intercepting water and diverting it away from the
mound site. Deep chisel plowing may be needed to improve the permeability where a plow pan appears to
restrict downward water movement.
Special Comments:
1. The down slope toe of the proposed mound area on Lot 5 should be well clear of the drainage way. Soil
conditions near the drainage way are very marginal for proper dispersal of effluent from a mound system
immediately up slope. It is recommended that the proposed mound area be moved approximately 50 feet up
slope. Property line boundaries would have to be reconfigured or an easement granted for placement of the
mound on Lot 4. Soil tests would need to be redone to verify suitable conditions in the new area.
2. Even though I specified the maximum linear loading to be 4.5 gpd/ft, designers should try to design systems
at 3.5 to 4.0 gpd/ft if possible.
3. Two soil borings in the proposed mound area on Lot 15 exhibited redox concentrations in the lower part of the
A horizon and immediately below in the subsoil. This area is somewhat more level than other areas and more
precipitation may infiltrate than on a sloping site. In addition, agricultural practices may have caused some
compaction in the lower part of the A horizon and upper part of the B horizon. The combination of more
infiltration and weak soil compaction may result in a higher level of saturation at this site than at other areas of
the plat. Options include moving to another area on the lot, monitoring the area with observation pipes this
next spring [see Comm 85.60(3) for requirements], or compiling a convincing explanation of why this is
occurring and why it's not a problem for proper system operation.
If there are any questions regarding this report, please contact me.
