In Paragraph 3, he writes about the consequence of clogging by soil and/or root intrusion. I have had <br />several conversations with Mr. Chris Strycharz, PE who is the engineer for the Infiltrator Water <br />Technologies company, the manufacturer of the drainage modules I specified. Infiltrator has not observed, <br />nor heard of any soil intrusion into their modules, simply because there is no "force" to create such an <br />effect. The only scenario where soil intrusion could occur would be if the water table increased in <br />elevation into the modules carrying soil with it. In this instance, the entire system would be in failure <br />under any design. While it is true root intrusion may occur, root intrusion can occur under many different <br />scenarios and OWTS designs. This is why Roto -Rooter is a successful business. <br />There are many more rebuttals to Mr. Hantzsche's paid review that can be made. The main issue with all <br />four of these projects is that I designed an innovative, highly cost-effective, simple, gravity -operated <br />wastewater treatment system for homeowners, not a commercial facility with large flow volumes and high- <br />strength wastewater. I am ethically obligated to provide my clients with the most economical use of <br />construction materials and ease of construction. I accomplished both, while still managing environmental <br />protection. The absurdity of placing undue economic burden and stress on homeowners, based upon an <br />equation that has more than a dozen variables associated with it, is beyond the pale. <br />The most disturbing issue regarding Mr. Hantzsche's review is this: It has come to my attention from <br />reliable sources that my reports are the only reports EHD has Mr. Hantzsche review. If this is true, then <br />this is highly prejudicial and highly unethical on both EHD's behalf and Mr. Hantzsche. Therefore, I am <br />calling for the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors to investigate the validity of this statement. This <br />should be very easy to determine and I expect to find out the truth. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />CHESNEY CONSULTING ?to fessio <br />or p • Ches a � <br />No. 7.5479 <br />Don Ches ey, PE ; <br />Registered Civil Engineer #C75479 J, <br />fa Civil tia <br />fe °f Cal <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Chesney Consulting <br />
