9:00 p.m. Peter Schartner of 44 Over The Top Rd., map R-15-B-4 wants to replace a failed septic system with a Tight Tank. Mr. Schartner had received a letter from the Wastewater Management Program of the DEP stating “no documentation that the plan is acceptable to both the Holland Board of Health and the Holland Conservation Committee has been received”. The property being on a steep incline and close to and within the buffer zone and access to the placement of the tight tank being difficult, we felt a Determination of Applicability would be needed. Forms were given.

She presented a petition of 12 concerned neighbors and also pictures taken of isolated wetland area on Allen Hill Rd. – noting wood frog eggs, (“wood frogs are obligate vernal pool species”). Storm water management is also a concern.
