4-County Approved Septic Design.pdf

This is an On-Site Sewage Disposal Permit issued by Jefferson County Environmental Public Health for repair of a failing septic system. The permit (SEP2026-00005) was issued February 4, 2026, and expires May 4, 2026, for property located at 111 Cedar Ave, Port Hadlock, WA 98339. The applicants are Jeffrey and Amanda T Gordon.

The repair project involves replacement of a failing three-bedroom septic system with a pressurized trench design. The system specifications include a 1,000-gallon two-compartment septic tank with an Orenco Biotube filter, a 1,000-gallon pump tank with an Orenco PF 3005 turbine pump and three floats, and 150 linear feet of drainfield trenches configured as three 50-foot laterals at a maximum 24-inch depth. Key requirements include installation of an electrical control panel (requiring L&I inspection), secondary tank safety barriers on all tank lids, a valve box with three valves at the high point, plastic chambers with filter fabric, galvanized wire rodent protection, separate monitoring ports at both trench ends, a timer control panel using a Rhombus SJE panel with alarm and hour meter, and an operations manual provided to the property owner. The designer, Tim Quayle of Quayle Septic Designs, must conduct precover inspections on all system types, and the Health Department must be contacted for final inspection. All work must comply with Jefferson County Rules and Regulations for On-Site Sewage Systems and applicable Washington State codes.
