7 <br /> Mr. Doherty stated yes even after the fact. He didn't want the repair work to be <br /> just as a matter of <br /> held up for BOH approval. But, he did want the repairs reviewed�' <br /> procedure. <br /> Mr. Harrington then asked if the BOH wanted engineering plans or could it be a <br /> sketch stating that the installer did the best they could with this distance left over? <br /> Mr. Doherty stated that they did not always need engineered plans. However, <br /> depending on the conditions, if the health agents got into a complex situation, then <br /> the BOH would typically ask for an engineered plan. If it was pretty straight <br /> forward and routine without variance involvement, groundwater issues or property <br /> lines. <br /> Mr. Harrington then asked if it has less than the 150' needed, should it be brought <br /> to the BOH's attention before the work is completed? <br /> Mr. Ball then asked Ms. Warden if this wasn't the past practice or procedure of the <br /> BOH when the variance was under 200? <br /> Ms. Warden stated that it wasn't past practice for repairs. <br /> Mr. Doherty stated that when the BOH was meeting weekly the problem never <br /> came up as an issue. As infrequently as it has, and it did once or twice, the work <br /> was done and the variance was granted after the fact. It was pretty clear cut and <br /> nothing to contest. <br /> Mr. Harrington stated that Title V allows you to get the repair done and then have <br /> the variances after the fact. <br /> Mr. Doherty stated that a lot of it would be up to the discretion of the health agent. <br /> Mr. Harrington continued that houses being acquired through transfers or houses <br /> that are vacant. They can obviously wait to go through the process. <br /> The BOH was in agreement with this course of action regarding emergency repair <br /> procedures. <br /> C. Overflow Pits <br /> Mr. Harrington then continued by stating that another issue that has come up a <br /> couple of times during this first week is "overflow pits". If there is a tank and a pit <br /> on the property and a new Title V trench or field is put in with a distribution box, <br /> what is the best plan of action regarding the existing pit? Do they leave it as an <br /> overflow pit or do they automatically abandon or remove it? <br /> Mr. Doherty responded that most of the time that it not be removed but filled in. <br /> Obviously, the Town has been shifting away from the pits towards floater-diffusers, <br /> trenches and/or galleys. To consider the continued use of the pits as an overflow <br /> device is debatable. But it isn't an impossibility to consider it as an alternative <br /> option if the primary device is overburdened for whatever reason with the <br />
