Re: Operating Permit #OP 67-2020 App-2024-000329 Parcel # 16-1-055400

Dear Permittee:

Our office is in receipt of the Monitoring and Maintenance Results of your substandard septic system. The results indicate that your septic system is meeting the objectives of the Operating Permit and is reported to be operating and performing as designed. In addition, we are in receipt of a letter from the Service Provider/Inspector, Septic Check. The letter recommends the Operating Permit renewal requirement be removed. Therefore, Aitkin County is no longer requiring the renewal of your Operating Permit. Please be aware that continued good water use management, periodic septic system maintenance and inspection for failure is still the responsibility of the landowner and that this system is not classified as a standard Individual Sewage Treatment System. Your continued diligence will help ensure the longevity and function of the septic system. Aitkin County encourages you to establish a monitoring and maintenance schedule with a qualified professional.

Sincerely, Aitkin County Planning & Zoning
