Harrington expressed concern with how that was reported by Ready Rooter, advising that, if the <br /> cesspools are at"operating level", it means they are full and need to be pumped. It was agreed <br /> that Mr. Harrington would go out to the property and evaluate the levels himself. <br /> Chair Baumgaertel stated that the Board does not want to impose an excessive financial burden <br /> on Mr. Marichal, but they also need to be sure to adequately protect public health and the <br /> environment. They don't want to risk any health hazards or overflows during the engineering <br /> phase, so everything must be pumped immediately. Mr. Harrington recommended that <br /> engineering should be done for the whole property at the same time. He also indicated that it <br /> was feasible to install all of the systems on the property. It was unknown whether the county had <br /> any restrictions with respect to the septic loan program, but Mr. Harrington made the point that <br /> the residential cottages are used for habitation. <br /> Mr. Harrington noted that, in cases where a property transfers without the necessary repair, the <br /> Board requires an enforceable agreement. He further noted that, if the system is not fixed within <br /> 90 days,the Board would start condemnation proceedings. Chair Baumgaertel indicated that he <br /> was comfortable removing the fines for the pumping issue and suggested that, in exchange for a <br /> reduction in fines and removal of the per day caveat for the Cesspool Regulation violation, the <br /> Board could agree to accept an enforceable agreement that would specify the timeframe for <br /> engineering and completion of the upgrade. Mr. Harrington's recommended 21 days for <br /> submission of the enforceable agreement, four months to complete the engineering and 18 <br /> months for installation. He also advised Mr. Marichal that the Board does not give extensions to <br /> enforceable agreements, and that fines are issued if deadlines are not met. Mr. Harrington was <br /> asked to check with the Conservation Agent as to what the Conservation Commission will require <br /> for filings. <br /> There being no further comments or discussion, Laurel Almquist moved to issue the follow <br /> decision with respect to the property at 100 Great Neck Road North: 1)the septic systems are to <br /> be inspected by the Health Agent; 2) all systems are to be pumped immediately and every four <br /> weeks thereafter; 3) an enforceable agreement is to be submitted within 21 days reflecting the <br /> timeframe specified by the Board; and 4) a one-time fine of$250 is to be paid for the Cesspool <br /> Regulation violation.
