Board presses Ma View developer on septic location and runoff mitigation
Summary
Board members raised concerns about a proposed septic on a slope at Lot 1 and potential runoff affecting adjacent houses; developer said they will raise ground and add a swale to divert water.
Board members questioned whether a septic sited on Lot 1's slope would allow runoff to affect the house on Lot 2 and asked for mitigation assurances. The applicant said they would raise the ground near the septic and install a swale to direct runoff away from nearby homes.
Scott described the intended mitigation: "we are showing a proposed swale around the top of the septic system to divert the water from running towards the house," and said the swale would extend along the edge of the septic area to collect flow. The board requested engineering details and confirmation that the proposed measure will meet the town's erosion‑control and health‑department requirements before the hearing.
