We have addressed all items of your letter. Enclosed herewith are copies of the revised plans. With regard to item 6, trenches were not used in this instance as the overall footprint of the excavated area would be larger, but more importantly the break out elevation would also be higher and existing grades of the driveway are such that breakout requirements would not be met. For these reasons, we feel that the leach field design meets the requirements of Title 5 and represents the maximum feasible compliant design for this site. On behalf of the owner, Paul Daley we respectfully request this revised design be considered for approval as re-submitted.
