August 159 1n,t4 <br />To Whom It Play Concern: <br />I live in the Santos Ranch Subdivision west of Tracy. In <br />March of 1983 the drains in my home became very sluggish. <br />By March 19th they were barely draining and I could hear <br />'!gurgling" sounds :coming up from the shower mdrainpticltank. <br />celled D. A. Parrish and Sons, Inc. to pump y <br />They pumped approximately 3,000 gallons out of my 1,200 <br />gallon septic tank. ,later from the leach field drained <br />back in to the tank as fast as they could pump it out. 'rle <br />decided to stop pumping when the truck became full. within <br />a couple of hours the septic tank was full to the top with <br />water that had drained in from the leach field. The back <br />lawn, which is part of the leach field, was flooded with <br />3 to 4 inches of water. <br />'tie covered the tank back up with dirt but for a few weeks <br />septic water continued to seep up to the top of the ground. <br />:When I washed clothes, soap bubbles would appear on the <br />lawn. An area of lawn died where the septic water sat. <br />_ <br />Eight trees also died that sat in the septic water. <br />Eventually, as spring came, the tank appeared to be function- <br />ing normally. riowever, since that time, I have had my water <br />tested by California ':Jat.'r I.abs•, Inc. of :odesto, Oa]if.. <br />Y <br />For nitrates.
