Dear Mr. McCoy:
At the time the plan for the repair of your subsurface sewage disposal system was
prepared, 24 October 2007, there were no delineated wetlands on your property or
within 50 feet of the proposed soil adsorption system.
The wetlands were delineated on adjoining property during the design process by
Charles Dauchy of Amherst and were deter fined by field examination to be off
your property and more than fifty feet dista from the proposed leach area.
If you hav�y quest'IAs or ne/ additi al information please contact me.
