In Aug, we were hired by [redacted] to perform a septic compliance at [redacted] Oak GroveThe inspection was performed in accordance to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Chapter Subp4, Compliance inspections At the time of inspection, it was determined that the manhole cover for the septic tank was cracked and in need of replacement, and the tank had not been pumped in years, the City of Oak Grove requires pumping at least once every years We were give authorization to pump the septic and replace the manhole cover The tank was pumped, as outlined in MPCA Chapter and a permit was submitted to the City of Oak Grove, as per City ordinance Upon completion of the inspection, it was determined that the system did meet minimum requirements set forth in MPCA Chapter 7082.0700, therefore a certificate of compliance was issued, with a copy of the report discussed with, and given to the homeowner,as well as the inspection report filed with the City of Oak Grove To the best of my knowledge, I have never had, nor anybody in my office, had any discussion with the complainant, either at the time of the inspection or in regards to any subsequent septic issues It is difficult for me to address the problems the new owners have experienced based on this complaint, as they were either given bad information, or it was relayed incorrectly to me in this complaint, since there is no valve after the drainfield that could corrode What I can say is, at the time of our inspection, there was no evidence, either current or past, of hydraulic problems Components can fail at any time, often with no warning.The Certification clearly states "No determination of future system performance has been nor can be made due to unknown conditions during system construction, possible abuse of the system, inadequate maintenance, or future water usage."I have attached a copy of the original inspection report for the complainants review
