<br /> C "And that was why, because of soil conditions, and water to :fie conditions
<br /> down there, as we understood them, we sent letter mock to the Engineering Co.,
<br /> that * you had hire , Down Cape Engineering., requesting that,that reserve field.
<br /> be developed at the aatirae with a. the valves between. The purpose for that
<br /> is to .prevent what has happened to you, that your one leaching pit fills, leaching
<br /> area fills and, in this case it seems to be a pit and everything backs out or come
<br /> out on the ground, with the reserve field there and ready for use and the moment that
<br /> you have difficulties within the house you can sJLmply go out slap the key in the
<br /> valve open up and you 111 have a new and a fresh leaching area, you use that for
<br /> a. year add meantime your first fi la would have had time to clean itself and re uv-.nate
<br /> the soil on which it's situated. That#s the reason for the regulation and because of
<br /> our water table down here, the reason why we implemented it,"
<br /> Mr. O'Neill: "What was the condition of the soil that warranted. it?"
<br /> CFF: "11 rom vhat we get you're a foot over the water t0ble. '
<br /> Mr, 'Neill: "Yes,, but.. .
<br /> CFB; "I think that#s enough, you require four feet and you're a foot."
<br /> Mr. O'Neill: "Right, and don't the plans -ve submitted bring the water up four feet
<br /> above the water table?"
<br /> C ' : "There is water was gotten at 8.9. as of 5/28; was this related to the average
<br /> high water'
<br /> Mr. ja .a: "Yes"
<br /> "I think Charlie, the quetion that he's as J ng is is the system that was de-
<br /> signed by Down Cape, i s now, more than., four feet above the water table."
<br /> C FB "It would seem now that .i would make the more than four feet,"
<br /> C "It wou _d, but we have a by-�lai%r ifhi h we must protect we have a regulation
<br /> that we must protect, usually when we see areaso f this natuxe and we send letters to
<br /> the installer, or through the engineering company, who' -' n eiv d the plan., if they
<br /> feel that this regulation e&d' not be met, they come back to us and request a.
<br /> variance, and outline to us why they think the variance should be issued."
<br /> TC: "Let me ask Mr,, o a.la that question. Do you think a variance is warranted in
<br /> this particular instance, Mra o fa,l.a, "
<br /> the fact
<br /> Mr. o ala: "Well., 1 guess it's a judgement call.. I would say that ,apparently -=there
<br /> has been effluence on property since last year, that by raising the leaching field pp
<br /> elevation of fourteen feet as compared to the one foot it's at now it probably would
<br /> be adequate,"
<br /> C; "That would solve the problem that exists, tatally.11
<br /> Mr. o ala: "We design systems like that.1t
<br /> CFB: "the next question T would a.sk, if it's not out of order, looking at the record,
<br /> realizing ing from back in 1983 we have been told repeatedly, 'We will take care of it'
<br /> what assurance do we have if we issue the var rice, if the contract is given or if
<br /> the statement is made, to the Engineering Co.., that they are to do this job or any-
<br /> body,, that it will be alone,, u've kicked us around with this, telling us every other
<br /> time, we're working on it., we're working on it and we believed you. ' But it seems it
<br /> comes tp to the point, to doijjg something in the ground and suddenly there's nobody
<br /> to do it in the ground.l l
