Review of request for septic variance—5 Wood Road <br /> Mr. Harrington commented that Mr. Westman has proposed that a concrete slab be constructed <br /> to protect the septic tank. Mr. Westman has provided an engineered plan for the proposed <br /> construction, which calls for an 8" thick reinforced concrete slab to be provided 12" above the <br /> septic tank. An overhang of 6" beyond the tank is proposed. The Board has approved these <br /> reinforced slabs in the past, in both vehicle and non-vehicle situations. The previous engineered <br /> plans included a 6"thick slab and a 12"overhang beyond the tank. The inlet and outlet manholes <br /> must be accommodated with a riser within 6"of grade for access for maintenance and inspection. <br /> Mr. Harrington recommended that the backfill material should be pert sand, with no fines, to <br /> prevent drainage of any storm water from collecting above the slab or tank. <br /> There being no further comments or discussion,Veronica Warden moved to approve the variance <br /> to install an 8"thick concrete slab over the septic tank with the following conditions: 1) that the <br /> slab be constructed as designed with a 12" overhang; that the backfill material be pert sand <br /> meeting Title V and be witnessed by a Health Agent; and 3) both the inlet and outlet access <br /> manholes be within 6" of grade. Motion seconded by Brian Baumgaertel. Roll call vote: Brian <br /> Baumgaertel (yes);Veronica Warden (yes). VOTE: Unanimous(2-0). <br /> 2.
