SEPTIC PLAN REVIEWS:

274 Bailey Road:  Carl Hultgren, Quinn Engineering, represented the plan for the owner, Jean Brunter, 280 Bailey Road, Holden, for local upgrade approval.  They have offsets to Title 5, for a two (2) bedroom house.  This plan is designed for a two (2) bedroom system with a bedroom safety factor.  There needs to be a deed restriction on the property.

They are using the sieve analysis because they could not do the perc test due to the fact that the ground water is at 23”.  The engineer stated that the system is not in failure.

J. Brunter asked to table the plans to give him time to speak to the owner to decide if they would agree to go with a 2 bedroom system with a third bedroom safety factor, and the deed restriction.  TABLED.
