If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Board of Health Office.

Revisions again submitted 3121101 Upon review of second revision 3/21/01 it was determined that the change would require a wall be built along the driveway of lot 2 Summer Street that was not described in the deeded easement. This would require more construction on this already occupied Dome Lot. Peter Lemonias determined that the elimination of the pump chamber was not worth having to reopen the easement issue and chose to stick with the old approved plan. Charles Zaher; Installer, applied for a permit for this system on May 23, 2001. The only item missing was the completion of the foundation. The distance of the foundation is of sufficient distance that any small changes in the location of the foundation would likely not impact the system. I accepted the application because of this, however, I told Charlie Zaher and Peter Lemonias that I would not release the permit until the foundation as-built was in and reviewed. In this way the permit was pulled within the 2-year period and still the Health Department process was not compromised by letting Charlie do the system before the foundation was constructed and no need to ask the BOH for a years extension since the foundation is close to being finished. There was no precedent set which would indicate that the Health Department would allow the construction of a septic system prior to the submission of the as-built unless the site conditions required it. z, �s S MERRIMACK ENGINEERING SERVICES INC.
