Mr. Ray explains that Section 1 of the Madaket Regulations required alSO
foot separation between all wells and leach fields.
"On the subject lot, there is presently a 46 foot separation between the
existing well and the failed leach facility. The relocation of the new leach
facility will increase the distance to a maximum 78 feet. Due to the placemen~
of existing abutting leach facilities, relocation of the subject well is not
recommended".
"Section 4 of the Madaket Regulations requires a fifty foot distance be
maintained between the leach facility and property line. On the subject lot,
increasing the distance between the leach facility and the well necessitates
encroachment on the property line set back requirement due to the small size
of the subject lot. Although this variance from Regulation 4 constitutes a
substantial reduction in mandated distances (50 feet to 11 feet), this
placement of an new leach facility effects improvements to a previously
tenuous situation".

"In conclusion, I would recommend granting these variances for the above
noted reasons. I would also request that this situation be declared an
emergency in order to effect immediate repairs". Discussion followed in
regard to other old systems,which others would come forth for variance
requests. Mr. Ray stated in Madaket there were probably 100-125 old systems.
Mr. Chairman referred back to September 26, 1984 minutes and asked for
follow-up on recommendations. Mr. Ray stated he would talk to Mr. Oliver
this week and report on inspecting holding tanks in the harbor as an anti-
pollution measure.
Being no further business of the board, the meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
Selectmen Cabot motioned to approval, seconded by Selectmen Clute, so voted.
