Wellfleet OKs retrofit‑ready septic plan for 85 Spring Valley Road
Summary
Board grants variances and approves an Advantex‑ready Title 5 plan for a four‑bedroom nonconforming house at 85 Spring Valley Road with conditions on design flow, cesspool removal and annual inspections.
The Wellfleet Board of Health approved a retrofit‑ready Advantex plan for 85 Spring Valley Road on Aug. 12, granting variances needed to place the leach field on a constrained lot while requiring monitoring and design limits.
Jason Ellis presented the plan: "I'm putting in an Oro Advantex septic tank uh without the oro Advantex so that they'll be retrofit ready," he said, describing a pump chamber and plastic chamber leach field sited in the rear corner and requesting reduced side/rear setbacks and an 18% leaching‑area reduction. The board limited design flow to 361.12 gallons per day for the four‑bedroom dwelling, required removal or abandonment of the existing cesspool, and mandated annual inspection of pumps and alarms. The motion to approve carried by voice vote.
Officials noted the property could be in a phase‑one sewer area in the future; the retrofit planning is intended to allow easier future conversion to municipal sewer.
