This property was a commercial site of 44,000 square feet more or less, with a failed disposal system. The system had to be designed as a raised system due to the fact that the adjusted groundwater elevation was only 0.2’ below grade. Also it was placed in a location to allow the store to stay open while under construction. The end result was a pressure dosed leaching field surrounded by a concrete retaining wall

For this project the parcel was a waterfront property consisting mainly of wetlands. Through Bourne Board of Health and Conservation Commission we were able to permit a two-bedroom dwelling on this extremely difficult site. The Notice of Intent filed was to grant a variance for the setbacks to the bordering vegetated wetland.

This property is a 6,000 square foot lot located in a Department of Environmental Protection Zone 2 or Nitrogen Sensitive Area. Whereas by itself, based on the Title V regulations, this property is not capable of supporting a sewerage disposal system. However, a provision in Title V allows for the allocation of other land area within the same Zone 2 to be aggregated to the subject property for the construction of a sewerage disposal system. We successfully aided our client in obtaining the “Credit Land” plus filed all the necessary permit applications for the approval of a Three Bedroom Home on this property. This permit was granted by the Department of Environmental Protection and the Local Board of Health.
