I am just back to my office to be able to send this request off I am looking to the board to approve having the trees that are marked on the septic engineering plan to be removed as they are a concern if there were ever a big storm. Thank you and I look forward to seeing you tonight. Best, Peg Gaffney, Heidi From: Jack Sullivan Seat. Monday, June 29, 2015 10:05 AM J To: Gaffney, Heidi Cc: Peg Graveline Subject: Re: 976 Turnpike- Narrative to support Septic Tank Decommission Attachments: 976 turnpike_ConComm.pdf Heidi, r Please accept this email as a written narrative to support the small project request for 976 Turnpike Street. The owner/applicant is proposing to upgrade the entire septic system due to the existing system being in failure. The entire proposed upgraded system will be outside the 100 foot buffer zone to the wetlands, but the existing septic tank which needs to be decommissioned per Title 5 requirements falls within the 100 buffer zone. In order for the contractor to properly decommission the septic tank (pump contents, crush tank, and fill with clean sand) it is highly likely that some work will take place within 100 feet of the wetland resource area to either crush the tank or remove the tank (if it is in conflict with the new septic tank location). To address this concern the owner is proposing the installation of silt fencing and staked hay'bales as a perimeter defense to potential silt migration. The closest point of the haybale line to the wetland line is 88 feet. Additionally, this shouldbe a short term project (1 day) to decommission existing tank, set the new tank, and temporarily stabilize the disturbed area with haymulch. have attached my plan showing the proposed work and the proposed silt fence/haybale line. Norse Environmental Services had delineated the wetland line and the flags were surveyed located. The flagging is still present in the field. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
