MINUTES January 8, 1998 6 BOARD OF HEATLH <br /> i <br /> i <br /> more stringent for nitrogen or sensitive areas like zone 1 and you're saying sorry you have <br /> to get that system out of there now, you could use it for that." <br /> Mr. Doherty commented, "I would imagine the County would really embrace this <br /> because this would perpetuate the program." <br /> Mr. Gottlieb stated, "Town meeting must vote to incur a debt trust." "We have <br /> worked out a language for the towns." "The Board of Health would sponsor the article." <br /> 3.) Copy of letter from M. McGrath to D.E.P re: Denite.

"The dwelling was constructed in the late 1960's well before <br /> the regulation was in place." "We cannot get 4' of permeable material between high <br /> groundwater and the bottom of the septic system." "It's not physically possible to meet <br /> that requirement." "If we do a strip-out, which is allowed by Title V, we will in effect get <br /> what we would have in other areas where nature placed out-wash soils." "The current <br /> system has failed and is in groundwater:" "We propose to replace the existing 1000 gallon <br /> tank with a 1500 gallon tank and install a whole new leaching facility."
