2 CHASE STREET – MATTHEWS
Mr. Matthews met with the Board with regard to a June 22, 2004 letter requesting more information. Due to the fact that the well is closer than 100 feet to the septic system, the well was tested and had a high nitrate level. In addition, the septic permit is for a two bedroom home and the report states that it is a three bedroom. After discussion, the Board requested a new water test and a written response from Sontag with regard the well. Further, a two bedroom deed restriction be recorded on the property. The Board is also requesting whether the laundry system empties into the septic system or has a separate system.
7:00 PM PUBLIC HEARING BOLTON BOARD OF HEALTH RULES AND REGULATIONS
Craig Martin was present to discuss the 60 minute perk rate. Mr. Martin stated that a 60 minute perk rate is part of the Title 5 Regulation and is questioning why the Bolton Board of Health has not addressed this issue. Chris Rogers stated that should someone have a 60 minute perk rate they could request a variance from the Board and the Board would look at it on a case by case basis. Currently, Bolton has not had an issue of 60 minute perk rates. As long as there is a provision for a variance on perk rates, the Board is comfortable with the current regulations.
Mark Sprague provided the Board and Mr. Martin with draft language of Regulation 8b, shared systems, for their review.
Public Hearing continued until March 8, 2005 at 7:15 pm.

JIM GARREFFI – NASHOBA ASSOCIATED BOARD OF HEALTH

There is money allocated to Bolton and Mr. Garreffi if willing to act on behalf of the Town of Bolton to implement the systems. After discussion, the Board voted to authorize Mr. Garreffi to act on behalf of the Town.
LARRY DUCHARME - SEASONAL HIGH WATER
The State estimated that you needed 4 feet offset until 1995 when the regulations were changed. Peter Fletcher is a soil scientist who educates others. Mr. Fletcher looked at a Littleton site. Where there are till soils, the water percolation can be slowed which leaves mottling that is inaccurate. Mr. Ducharme believes that Northwoods is similar. He believes that the mottling used at Northwoods is inaccurate. Mr. Ducharme is asking that the mottles be reevaluated. Chris Roger suggested that should an instance come before the Board, they would have the option of forwarding same to Mr. Fletcher or a similar expert for evaluation.
Mr. Ducharme will provide more information to the Board on this issue.
