TOWN OF WL9WEE, BOARD OF HEALTH, MEETING, BCH 25 1987 Page five) OFB; One way or the other. The state requ i rem nt i s f ifty feet from the wet l and y o ur e s h o w- i n g fifty one feet frm edge of wet l and so you're a foot outs ide-of that, our Town regulations show 75 and 100 on Conse r vat i n, that's up to Conservation, setback from wet l and s f or septage, but that's up to Conservation now. JPS: it's going back to Conservati ori, after the Board of Appeals, it's going back to Conservation. CFB: I would think it would have to. supercking orders have already been given twice by DE E, to me it signifies that they are going to say it's more than fifty feet from a wet l and and so ac- cording c- cording to the there's no danger to the wet l rid. CHL: Well that should be proven with the potable water, DEQF gets involved in it and they say.. CFB: 1, yes, no or otherwise, Let Conservat i ort make their pitch. CHL: -But I think to keep-the ball ro l 1 i ng we've got to do smeth i ng. C FB: Yeh, I w u l d move that g i vert proof of potable water on site..... i nterrupt RFT: W. Bur conn is here to address this issue. FB: Oh,, I t m sorry. W. Burann: I'm here representing an abutter. CFB: Oh, and ,you are? * Burgmann: .1 a Bob Burgriann fram Holmes & WGrath and+I represent W. & M s. Kenneth Con i- kowski, who are the abutters iwediately to the north and the Konikowskils had several concerns with regard to the situation. One.of them being,, the plan shows the reed to excavate right up to their lot line and knowing the fact that we've got sandy soils out there, they feel their is a good possibility of encroacent., onto their property during the-excavation if steps such as sheeting or other methods of containing the excavation arn't taken in advance and established as a requ i r ment for the excavat ion. Another thing that we'd 1 i ke the Board to consider is the lo- cation of the containment wall shown on the plan, the containment wall is well inboard of the ex- cavation limits for the twenty five feet all around the system and Title v does requ i rye that im- pervious m- peryious material below fill be removed for twenty five feet all around, and what ,you in essence having here is the c neat i n of an ier}v i ous barre i r within that twenty five foot area that Title V has said fiat ,you have to. ake -pervious, and I'm wondering if the Board should consider whether or not that v �re_ entjbe that wall match the 25 foot line that Title V rquires for the re- moval of impervious material because it would seem to be kind of at loggerheads with the intent of the remova I* CHL: You have a g6od point there. W. Bu nn: Those are basically ray clients concerns. JPS: I don't think there's anything specific, I agree with W. Burgmann,-there Is nothing specific in Title v about containment walls. I believe on the abutter to the north, 1 believe they also put a containment wall in , i bleieve there is and the only place where it exists is parallel with this lot line, and with their leaching facility being located in the position that it i , if they too had to excavate twenty five feet from that particular 1 cat i rn if the soil Gond i t i ons wer `{the s arr it' semis like this Board of D£QE r, whoever granted the permit didn't think that was the case, mere the conta i rrent wall did have to conform to the twenty five foot setback from the leaching facility. CFB: I don't wart to argue with two engineers but, .. OPS: I don't thin there is anything in Title V but this Plant-Ehas been looked at by DEE more than one tine. FB: What 1 was going to say is that the purpose of the twenty five foot excavation and e cavat i ort down to a vertical excavation to be sure that here is a strong potential if you want to look at it that way), or essentially what you're saying is that you're guaranteeing bY excavation on that 25 foot area, that you are not going reach any n aturra l l y occurring impervious soils; the feeling being there that if they are along side they can gust as well be under and so ,you excavate'to the natu ra l l y occ urr i n leaching soil, s and, gravel. The p l acerrent of the cont i rmnt wall in proxi- mity r oxi- ity to a water area is to further insure them will not be a lateral or a quick later transmission
