Discussion
Review BoH Regulation PART
Jane suggested rewording the
paragraph that states that all failed septic systems must connect to the sewer
where it is available, to include any upgrade of a septic system. Jane was told to go ahead and prepare
something for the Board to review.
Duane proposed removing the
local regulation of the 100 ft separation from a wetland to septic system
components since the state requires only 50 ft and this seems to be the one
variance that the Board has consistently approved for new construction in the
past. Jane suggested that in its place
the Board require that any septic system within 100 ft of a wetland be required
to install an enhanced nitrogen removal system.
Goals and Objectives
The goals and objectives are
due by May 30th. Suggestions
for updating the goals and objectives were made by Board members and Jane will
be redoing them and sending them to Duane for her approval. John wanted to make sure to add that the BoH
will continue to explore the creation of a regulation based on the health
aspects of noise to protect
