My grandfather has been on long lake in dundee WI for the past 67 years and has worked for the DNR just a tad here and there nothing like wearing the uniform and stuff. Mostly helping out with water samples and some other crap, he is no dummy but can be very passive on some things.
There is a out house up there that has about a 5' deep concrete pit, the walls of the holding tank gotta be all of 12" thick. Its built well for the times.......
About 4 years ago they had some inspector come out and say you might have to get rid of this and here are your options yada yada yada. Well the options were sort of schetchy and my grandpa said the hell with that we will keep our out house.
The out house is a good 100feet away from the lake.
He got a letter in the mail 5 days ago saying " We over looked your property and you must remove the out house in 30 days " I don't even remember reading the Exact Details why he needs it removed. He then called and asked for extra days and they guy was very nice and said he will add a few months.
What I'm trying to find out is there a actual law saying we need to get rid of it for xxx reasons ?
I'm sure one of the reasons is that it COULD be leaking, by all means that could be true. But its never been inspected to find out if it is or not so there solution is to just tear it down and fill it up with gravel and done ?
Odd thing is that once its down we then can build/purchase one that has a holding tank that goes into the ground, granted its all 2009 parts but what the hell are we gaining on something we don't know if it is or is not leaking.
Were talking a least $3k - $5k guessing in the whole kit !!!
There is some other details that I'm not going to talk about but if there is anyone that can help me out I really would owe you the shirt off my back.
I want to talk to somebody other then the two guys my grandpa has talked to, something to me is way to fishy that my brother and I have to step in.
If everything turns out its legit and Illegal there is no problem replacing it :thumbsup
