Re: Riparian Office Park
Dear Mr. Perna;
The Division of Public Works has reviewed the draft of the
Conditional Special Permit for Riparian Office Park and we have one
additional comment to make:
The site should be required to connect to town sewer
if and when it becomes available.
The sewer connection shall conform to 314 CMR 7.00, shall be
installed in accordance with DPW rules, regulations, and fee structure,
and shall be subject to DPW policies requiring 2:1 mitigation of existing
infiltration /inflow from the receiving system.
Very 1y y7/-&

RE: Riparian Park
DATE: November 30, 1989
I have been reviewing the plans for this proposed project and
have several comments.
The septic system plan meets the bare minimum requirements of
Title 5. What this means is that building use must be restricted
to the lowest possible wastewater producers, travel agents and
shoe stores for example, and only one work shift per day.
Industries or businesses that produce more wastewater than would
be generated by the routine sanitary needs of it' s employees (and
not customers) during an eight hour period must be excluded.
In ten years of experience as a health inspector, I have seen a
common pattern of problems with predicting and controlling water
consumption at industrial parks that are on septic systems: the
septic system is designed for the lowest possible water uses, the
design is approved, the building is constructed and then rented
out to a variety of high wastewater producers like health clubs,
restaurants, beauty parlors, and the like. I have also seen
buildings designed for single shift use that went to multiple
shifts and over flowed their systems with in a year.
What makes the control of water use for this project so important
is that besides being designed for minimum sewage flows, the
three leach areas that serve all four buildings are close
together in the only area on the whole lot that is suitable for
sewage disposal with almost no room left for additional leaching
capacity if and overflow ever occurs.
I do not know what means the Planning Board has to insure that we
can guarantee a chance to review every potential occupants plan
of operation before they rent a unit but unless we have control
of what uses are permitted I feel that there will be a serious
problem at this site.
I also do not feel the septic systems out here can be safely
regarded as temporary until sewers are constructed. At the rate
building is going on in the industrial zones along Rt 114 , the
land will be used up by industrial parks on septic systems before
sewers are ever constructed this far toward Middleton.
