so voted.
Subdivision Approval: 31 lots off Madaket Road abutting Long Pond:
Lawrence M. Maury, owner: Letter from Health Inspector Richard Ray
was read by Bernard Grossman. Mr. Ray's~ceport was as follows:
1. All lots are acceptable for septic system design.
2. I would' further request .the Board of Health recommend to the Planning
Board that all septic facilities installed in this subdivision be of
the leach trench configuration located as close to finish grade as
Title V will permit (12 inches).
This will allow the nitrates inherent in. gray water to be absorbed
by the root systems of the surface vegetation as opposed to depositing
said nitrates in the lower 1eves1 of biologically inactive soils as
occurs with the deeper pit systems.
When deep pit systems are used the nitrates are carried down through
the filtering soil materials into the ground water lens. Although
fractional amounts of nitrates may reach the ground water table,
in Madaket's instance, these nitrates may possibly further compromise
the qual ity of a fragile water lens.
3. I would also suggest the Board of Health recommend all leach facilities
on Lots 22 through 41 be located on the north section of each lot in
order to maximise distances between the leach facilities and Long Pond.
Jack Gardner moved to approve Mr. Ray's recommendations and forward them
to the Planning Board. This was seconded by Bud Clute, so voted.
