Purpose

This project proposes to replace or repair a set of aged septic systems on the Red Cliff Reservation. Improperly installed or maintained septic systems may contribute pathogens and nutrients to the surrounding environment and nearby Lake Superior.

Objective

This project proposes to replace or repair a set of aged septic systems on the Red Cliff Reservation. Improperly installed or maintained septic systems may contribute pathogens and nutrients to the surrounding environment and nearby Lake Superior. Local septic system inventories have shown that a large number of rural Northern Wisconsin septic systems are not up to current standards and/or have failed due to age and lack of maintenance. The systems we propose to replace or repair were identified as failed or failing systems during a septic system inventory completed in 2009. A Preliminary Engineering Report is included.
