Peter,

In the past there was no real oversight of this specific issue. Molalla

has very high ground water tables (as you know if you dig in your yard).

The water is high and the soil is poor draining - this mix creates mold

and dry rot, drainage problem, and worse. We are trying to stop this from

happening by our standards. You have class 4 soils at your site and they

don't drain. Honestly your best bet is to try to upsize the on street

system and try and see if you can gravity flow. Other than that it seems

like the water will evaporate from the pond about the same rate it will go

into the ground.

 

The City manager and Public Works director are working on the storm

reviewal process with the county now and I'll let you know when they give

me direction. In the mean time you can finish up your conditions of

approval for your lot split, like finish your sidewalk and put up your

sign.

 

Thanks,
