October 17, 1985 Mr. Anthony Fletcher, Clerk Board of Survey Town Hall Reading, MA 01867 Dear Mr. Fletcher, The Board of Health members reviewed the plan of the Forest Street sub-division and wish to make the following recomendations. As the dwellings will be sewered via individual pumping stations, each dwelling should be sewered via gravity system. In the event the dwellings cannot be sewered by gravity the following recommendations should be addressed. I. A retention sump for pumps be designed to have a one day retention period. 2. Local alarms be installed for each pumping station. 3. Indicate on the deed for each dwelling that the property is being served via a pumping station and a 4D main, which are the owner's responsibilities to maintain.

When this project is presented to the Commission, this lot will be critically reviewed for its consistency with the use of the buffer zone on the previous Sunrise Homes on Forest St. (2) The proposed plan does not include any means to control the increased rate of runoff from the subject site. The Commission will require some means of onsite detention, unless it can be proven to be not necessary (note: down- stream flooding conditions are known to exist) . Thank you for this opportunity to present the concerns of the Commission. Sincerely, Charles T.
