Board approves Eljen B43 plan for S. Lakeside Rd. properties
Summary
Wightman Engineers' Eljen B43 plan for two one‑bedroom structures on S. Lakeside Rd. was approved with standard BCHD contingencies, including pre‑construction meeting and inspections.
Sewage Appeal #3 (Anne Hart and Walter Siewart, S. Lakeside Rd., Parcel ID 11-20-0017-0015-01-0) was approved Aug. 5, 2026 after Wightman Engineers presented a pressurized, two-zone Eljen B43 mound system. BCHD site investigations had previously shown clay to significant depth and a seasonal high-water table near the surface, and a backhoe test pit on March 4, 2026 found clay to 15 ft.
The approved design specifies two independent 1,000-gallon septic tanks (one per one-bedroom structure) each connecting to a single 600-gallon dosing tank with a visual alarm, a 1.5-inch force main to a 40 ft. by 30 ft. absorption field split into two zones, and a minimum of 2.5 ft of sand below the B43 units and above the high-water table with a 4:1 slope. The motion, moved by Chair Thaddeus Hackworth and seconded by Alex Ott, included contingencies for a pre-construction meeting and BCHD inspections; the minutes record the motion as "passed and carried" but do not list individual vote tallies.
BCHD reported no issues with the Wightman plan as presented. The approval allows the applicants to proceed to scheduling pre-construction requirements and inspections before construction.
