REVIEW OF SEPTIC PLANS:
228 Fisher Road: Steve Sears, Ross Asssociates, represented the plans for Charles and Sandra Bowers, for an upgrade of an existing failing septic system. The Board approved of the local upgrade approval reduction in separation between the SAS and high ground water from 4 feet to 3 feet, and a reduction of 12-inch separation between the inlet and outlet tees and high ground water.
M. Johnson motioned to approve the plans with the local upgrade approval and B. Pennino seconded. All in favor, APPROVED.
(Plans are available for viewing at the Holden Board of Health office.)
2000 Wachusett Street: This is an upgrade of an existing septic system. The plans call for using a D.E.P. approved filter on the outlet tee in the septic tank. Such filters require maintenance responsibilities by the property owner. Negligence may result in clogging of the filter and problems with the septic system. The property lines were not depicted on the plans.
Condition(s):
- A letter to the property owner regarding the filter on the septic tank outlet and maintenance responsibilities will need to be sent, with a copy to the Holden Board of Health.
- Property lines need to be shown on the plans.
M. Johnson motioned to approve with conditions 1 & 2. B. Pennino seconded. All in favor, APPROVED.
(Plans are available for viewing at the Holden Board of Health office.)
Lot 2 - Bullard Street: This is a new septic system that was previously approved with conditions on July 24, 2006. A one-year extension was granted on June 2, 2009 and expired on July 24, 2010. The plans are being resubmitted for review and subject to any changes the Board sees necessary.
Condition(s):
- The Title 5 fill needs to be dimensioned better on the plans and on the profile view.
