The Marion Board of Health approved a septic variance requested at 13 Washburn Lane during its February 16 meeting at the Police Station.
Brian Grady from G.A.F. Engineering represented the property owner, describing the project as an upgrade to a failed system. An existing tank is being replaced with a FAST system going to a field of unknown construction.
Grady reported that George Heufelder, Marion’s review, had no comments and said that the plan is suitable for approval.
The board also voted to approve the septic plan at 2 Sassomon Trail based on a three-bedroom plan.
Dr. Ed Hoffer chaired the meeting in the absence of Board of Health Chairman Dr. John Howard.
In her update, Health Director/Nurse Lori Desmarais said she would need to spend $18,500 to match last year’s vaccine order.
Health Agent Shallyn Rodriguez reported on inspections that passed and minor violations that were corrected on the spot.
The next meeting of the Marion Board of Health is scheduled for Thursday, March 2, at 4:00 pm.
