Mr. Colombo asked how he can alleviate his concerns about nitrogen <br />infiltration. Mr. Flaherty said it’s a Title 5 system and they are trying to protect the <br />environment as best they could. The best approach is to place the leaching system in the <br />slowest rate possible. It’s better than the leaking/failed system that has been getting in the <br />ground water for years.
