Blair Brissette was present. Mr. Brissette explained that he was scheduled to do test holes in April but it rained so much the equipment got stuck, and the tests were rescheduled the for August. Mark Spraque is looking for the measurements to the abutting wells. The question is whether or not to go through the normal variance process for out of season testing. The variance requested would be for out of season testing.
The Board explained that the variance is a formality unless the abutters come up with something that would cause a problem with the plan. The Board pointed out that the lot abuts properties in Bolton and Berlin and all abutters must be notified. The Board described the variance process to Mr. Brissette. There are no issues with the plan other than the out of season testing and updating the locus. Bill Brookings will contact the engineer to get a new plan.
