Flood Zone Considerations <br /> Flood Zone Classification: AE flood zone. <br /> Impact: Influences septic system design and regulatory requirements. <br />Vegetation & Tree Removal <br /> Initial Vegetation: Property has vegetation in the back that will be cleared <br /> Mitigation Plan: <br />o Tree Removal: Two trees (one oak and one pitch pine) adjacent to the septic field <br />within a 10ft setback from property lines. <br />o Replacement: Planting of 4 trees (2:1 mitigation ratio) <br />o Tree Specifications: Trees to be selected from the Cape Cod Cooperative <br />Extension list, at least 3-gallon, with potential for larger sizes. <br /> <br />Regulatory Compliance & Requirements <br /> Title V Compliance <br />o Design based on a 3-bedroom requirement; existing is a 2-bedroom <br />o Permit reflects a 2-bedroom design adhering to Title V minimums <br /> <br />Nitrogen Loading Calculations <br /> Required under Regulation 30 <br /> Not initially submitted with the paperwork; now required for compliance <br /> <br />Previous Violations <br /> Past issues with unauthorized tree removal without departmental notification. <br /> Existing order of conditions since February requiring submission of a planting plan <br /> <br />Commissioners’ Questions & Concerns <br /> Flood Mitigation: Request for additional planting to mitigate flood zone impacts <br /> Tree Preservation: Assurance that abutting property trees will not be impacted <br /> Order of Conditions: <br />o Ensuring compliance with previous and current mitigation requirements <br />o Discuss recording orders to make conditions legally binding. <br /> <br />Additional Recommendations <br /> Arborist consultation: recommendation to involve an arborist for evaluating potential tree <br />impacts in future projects involving excavation <br /> Site Inspection: Suggestion for an on-site inspection post-installation to assess any tree or <br />vegetation damage <br /> <br />There are no public comments <br /> <br />Agent Comments <br /> No details on plan or narrative regarding any impacts to existing trees where leach field is <br />proposed. <br /> No nitrogen loading calculations provided as per Reg. 30 <br /> Agent recommends: <br />18 <br /> <br /> <br />
