Berkley Board of Health issues COC for 2 Oak Run, OKs reduced separation at 526 Berkley Street and tables two plans
Summary
The Town of Berkley Board of Health approved and handed a Certificate of Compliance to the 2 Oak Run applicant, approved a reduced separation for 526 Berkley Street (4.08 ft from bottom of SAS to SHWT), and tabled 43 Elm and 95 Plain to later meetings while requiring retaining wall design, an O&M manual, a maintenance agreement and deed notation for an A/I system before final COCs.
At its July 8 meeting the Town of Berkley Board of Health approved a Certificate of Compliance for 2 Oak Run and handed the signed COC to applicant Joe Malloch.
The board reviewed supporting documents for 2 Oak Run — the as‑built, a sieve test and a filter receipt — and recorded that the COC was stamped, signed and delivered to Mr. Malloch.
Separately, consultant Gerald Bernard reviewed plans for 526 Berkley Street. Daniel Fournier moved to allow a reduction in the required separation from the bottom of the soil absorption system (SAS) to the seasonal high‑water table from 5.0 feet to 4.08 feet; the motion was seconded by Patrick McCrohan and approved unanimously. The minutes state the plans were approved, stamped and copies placed in the file.
The board also set pre‑issuance conditions that affect issuance of Certificates of Compliance: plans will be held until the applicant provides an approved design for a specified retaining wall, and prior to issuance the Engineer/applicant must provide A) an Operation & Maintenance manual, B) a signed maintenance agreement with a licensed party, and C) proof that an A/I System (Microfast) has been placed on the deed.
The board tabled review of plans for 43 Elm Street to the July 22 meeting and 95 Plain Street to the August 12 meeting. The minutes record that the board accepted minutes, correspondence and permits, and adjourned at 7:38 P.M.
Why it matters: the COC completes permitting for 2 Oak Run; the reduced separation approved for 526 Berkley Street alters the engineering buffer to the seasonal high‑water table and may be of interest to nearby well owners. The board’s deed‑recording and maintenance agreement requirements are meant to ensure long‑term operation and oversight of nonstandard systems.
Next steps: applicants must supply the required retaining wall design and documentation before final COCs are issued; the board will revisit tabled items on the dates recorded in the minutes.
