21 BIRCH ISLAND WAY 
 
Jack Maloney met with the board on behalf of the owner.  This system is in failure .  This is a very 
small lot, wetlands (lake) with a perc. rate of 2 MPI.    
What is being proposed is a new system with a Singular treatment tank.  Variances requested are as 
follows: 
 
IA system with Singular treatment tank 
Offset to cellar wall (tank): 10 feet to 1.5 feet 
Offset to wetland:  100 feet to 43 feet 
Offset to Cellar Wall:  20 feet to 19.2 feet 
1 deep hole 
 
Jack Maloney stated that this is a very small lot.  They will be removing the existing septic system and 
replacing that with a new system in the same location.  Gravel will be replaced with clean gravel.  The 
replacement system is no closer to lake and is a better solution than what is currently on the property. 
 
After discussion and on motion by Emond and second by Normandin, the board voted to approve  the 
requested variances with the conditions of a maintenance agreement on the Singular tank.  All in favor.
