Curran said the added capacity will allow the department to pursue more outreach and engagement under recent grants.

Curran said the board received no citizen input for the meeting.

Sanitary inspector Mr. Aguiar told the board the house was built in February 2001 and that the repair site is within proximity to bordering vegetated wetlands, which limited conventional options and required alternative technology (a sand-filter system). Aguiar recommended granting the three waivers but listed conditions: the design must not exceed 439 gallons per day (to keep the system in a three-bedroom flow category), a hold-harmless agreement, a deed restriction limiting the property to three bedrooms, and recording documents at the Registry of Deeds that notify future owners of alternative-technology requirements and maintenance obligations.

Aguiar noted the site had received Conservation Commission permitting because portions of the work were near wetlands. He said the proposed design had been prepared for a four-bedroom dwelling at 440 gallons per day but that the assessors’ record showed the property as a three-bedroom, and the board cannot allow a four-bedroom design given the number of waivers requested. A prior similar filing (81 Greenleaf) was cited as a recent precedent for recording maintenance documents. The board moved, seconded and approved the waivers in a roll-call vote with Thomas Corey, Michael Coughlin and Steven Gagliardi voting yes.","The Fall River Board of Health granted three local upgrade waivers for a septic repair at 440 Captain Circle, requiring a revised flow plan, a deed restriction limiting the home to three bedrooms, a hold-harmless agreement and recording of maintenance notices at the Registry of Deeds.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6251900,"Fall River Board of Health approves tattoo practitioner for South Main Street shop",52,82000,134000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3192814-016eb004546d7ee68854c62dd677fc6f&start=82&end=134","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3192814-016eb004546d7ee68854c62dd677fc6f/thumbnail_82000.jpg","/articles/6251900/Fall-River-City/Bristol-County/Massachusetts/Fall-River-Board-of-Health-approves-tattoo-practitioner-for-South-Main-Street-shop","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6251900-f8792763d6aa2c9367f55019b2f207ab/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161843&Signature=I4UJJp48lVvCvuTGY1IBcCZh7L2RswI12WudmvkdJ-cgUAScoTO6Ijxx5sr04jEXfg2U5abbMRALxxb6LW5BsH5HMcfkos-UhCsMWKhJ1S~U2543lngXumPlw9Uuob24QbaOLjFtgs6yVILgcrhbw4Q0gOLfLWqV-B16j9oS9DcEuqzOWWrZR0HWEeHcCKcw19cNPzhRsUn6lvDJNCb6IzACdFY46LukkN~aAQHoPO8KmLWbY5C15cVnS2Mcf7YSyNQXB2AdHDc7VuHGzC5vMJtj6YmxrLHTzUsVDNcaXZk1pnPV6Dz1pcjVTKlvGV0xqvJzq14bfDDoM~L3Hsj3EA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fall River Board of Health voted April 28 to approve a tattoo-practitioner application for Michelle Guevat of Taunton to work at Fall River Tattoo Company, 1412 South Main Street in Fall River.

Board staff presented Guevat’s application and supporting documents, and staff recommended approval after verifying required training. Josh, a department staff member, said Guevat had previously tattooed in Taunton and had submitted required documentation, including bloodborne-pathogen training, CPR and first-aid certification. The board moved and seconded approval, and a roll-call vote recorded Thomas Corey, Michael Coughlin and Steven Gagliardi voting yes.

The board did not attach additional conditions to the practitioner license during the meeting. The applicant was wished luck by board members after the vote.","The Fall River Board of Health on April 28 approved a tattoo practitioner application for Michelle Guevat of Taunton to work at Fall River Tattoo Company, after staff verified required training and documentation.","actionData","errors"]
