Commission closes 64 Williamsburg Lane wetlands hearing after engineer confirms temporary, below‑grade septic work
Summary
The Commission closed the hearing on a Title 5 replacement septic at 64 Williamsburg Lane after the project's engineer confirmed impacts would be temporary and below grade, with Board of Health review completed; the applicant requested the Commission close the hearing this evening and the Commission agreed.
The Scituate Conservation Commission closed the public hearing for a Title 5 replacement septic at 64 Williamsburg Lane after the project engineer confirmed the work would be below grade and temporary, and after the Board of Health signaled no outstanding issues.
Jed Hannon, a registered engineer with Atlantic Coast, presented a five‑bed septic replacement proposal with a 1,500‑gallon tank, a 1,000‑gallon chamber, D‑box and leaching field located within the site’s riverfront area. Hannon reported the work would be 92.6 feet from a proposed septic tank location to the resource area and that temporary impacts included 113 sq ft to BVW and 1,253 sq ft in the riverfront area, all below grade. All disturbed areas would be loamed and seeded and erosion controls would remain until project completion.
Board of Health comments had been addressed and Hannon said their only remaining need was the Commission’s review and approval. The applicant requested closure of the hearing and the Commission, noting the Board of Health’s review and lack of public comment, moved to close the hearing and issue the order.
Next steps: the Commission will issue the order of conditions; standard construction and stabilization conditions (erosion controls, loam and seed, and Title 5 decommissioning of the old system) will be included.
