Specifically,EHD's current findings and requirements in regards to the severe septic problems at CLTP,as well as viable options in resolving these issues, were covered in detail. This letter is to serve as a review of these topics and as an official notification of required compliance. At this juncture it is clearly evident that the septic systems at the CLTP facility are all operating in *iilure mode. These systems can no longer adequately service the number of people residing at CLTP. Furthermore, surfacing sewage continues to be a serious and chronic health problem for the residents of CLTP. Equally apparent is the fact that minor or temporary repairs,such as the installation of pits to the individual systems, are definitively not the long-term answer in rectifying the on-going septic problems at this facility. Now more than ever,with the current state of affairs as they are, it is the considered opinion of the EHD that an entirely new septic system designed by a licensed engineer will be required to adequately address and resolve the issues at hand. The EHD was gratified by the affirmation that you,along with incoming new ownership, fully understand the gravity of the situation and are amenable to the installation of a new septic system. The EHD was given to understand that the services of an engineering firm are being sought out and the purchase 6f additional property is being contemplated in order to provide the needed placement area for a new septic system. If this is the case,a land use application for a lot line adjustment will be in order. Additionally, with definitive documented confirmation of the installation of a new septic system,EHD may give consideration to temporary repairs(e.g.,one pit per system),on an interim basis only,to the current septic systems if it is determined that such repairs are deemed absolutely necessary. This would insure public health by maintaining sewage underground while allowing you sufficient time,as needed,to pursue such issues as the acquisition of additional properties. Based upon our investigative findings,the EHD is requiring the following: 1. That you,along with incoming new ownership,must enter into a contractual agreement for the installation of an entirely new septic system for CLIP and that an engineering firm be retained for this purpose. Further,you must submit a report on your efforts in this regard as well as a timetable for the completion of the planning and system installation phases for this project. This is to occur within ninety(90)days of receipt of this letter.
