"The request before the Board this evening is a variance from the foundation, property lines and depth to groundwater." "We are aware the Board does not like mounded systems." "In order to get 4' above groundwater, we put the system above existing grades and mounded system and may well require a containment system and would also require a pumping chamber for the effluent after the septic tank." "The area towards Clover Lane has an existing catch basin which eliminates putting a septic system in that general area." "If you look towards the street on Shore Drive you see a contour line elevation six which means this is a low lying area." "Groundwater elevation is 3.2." "If I go towards the street on Shore Drive a major containment systems would be required." "It is permissible according to Title V under the maximum feasible compliance with an existing facility we are allowed to request variances to the property line, cellar and a variance through groundwater."
