BOARD OF HEALTH MINUTES
Meeting held at Town Hall on December 9, 2008 6:30 pm
Members present: Mark Sprague, Andrea Gilbert, Chris Rogers, Bill Brookings, Lisa O’Leary
265 Sawyer Rd.
Paul D’Anello was present. The Board requested that Mr. D’Anello come to the board meeting to discuss why his existing well and driveway location are not in compliance with the approved septic system design plan number 3656D-SDS-3 dated 5/24/06 revised 7/24/06 by Ducharme & Dillis Inc. Mr. D’Anello explained that the contractor that did the paving of his driveway did not pave directly on the gravel. The width of the driveway is 15 ft and widens out to 17 ft. He explained that he would rather not tear up the driveway and leave it as is. The Board did note that they did already give him a variance but the driveway is still not to plan. Bill Brookings explained that the 25 ft offset is basically for well head protection. Mr. D’Anello said that winter is
here and can he install a barrier in the spring. The Board explained that they made a concession with the well originally and are only asking that a few boulders be placed to protect the well head. Mr. D’Anello said that he would like to match a wall he did on the side of his property. Mr. D’Anello said that he can definitely get this done by the end of May. The Board agreed to allow Mr. D’Anello to install a physical barrier and submit an as built plan showing the barrier on or before May 30, 2009.
Long Hill Road MaP 4E Parcel 33
Larry Ducharme and Duane Henry were present.
Mark Sprague recused himself from the discussion as he is an abutter. Larry explained there is an issue with the testing and thought about doing a sieve analysis. Although there is testing to meet title 5 regulations but not to meet the Bolton regulations. Larry said everything was a disaster he paced off the test holes and said something was not right. He scaled the tree, the tree is in the right spot on the plan but everything else is off 30-35ft. Larry explained that the plan was actually done by another company but the problem was he super imposed his test holes on their plan. Larry said he must have used a different scale than what they used, so the test holes are not actually plotted right. Larry said he made a mistake plotting but everything else is correct. Larry
will be going out and checking all the test holes. The plan is that Bill and Chris will go on site with Larry on Friday morning at 9:30 am to confirm the test areas.
The next step will be an official submission of a plan, a presby system and variances are percolation rate over 30 and reserve area off the wetlands.
