Mr. Smith told Lisa Fitzgerald that the manure pit that he saw on her property was not according to the plan that she had showed to the Board at the last meeting. Lisa said that the contractor had been tied up and had not come. She told the Board that her barn was spotless. Mr. Smith said he had no objections to the barn. He wants the manure pile down the back of the property to be leveled and covered over and covered over well, also. He said it would be difficult to remove it - so it must be leveled and covered over well. Dr. Cosgrove said the request to keep six horses is denied at this time and Mr. Lambie and the Health Director were in agreement that she not have six horses on the property until the manure pit is built properly and passed by the animal inspector. Dr. Cosgrove repeated to Miss Fitzgerald that if the manure pit is not satis- factory soon, the permit for four horses will also be revoked. Mr. Smith told Lisa that she should call Barry Littleton for an appointment and that he and Barry will go up to the property and straighten out this problem. The permit for six horses is not to be issued for at least 30 days at least and then only if the manure pit is 3 sided concrete with a concrete floor and a canvas cover. The question arose to Lisa about what she will do with all the manure. She said there are plenty of people who want it so it will not be a problem getting rid of it. Mr. Smith reminded her again to contact our animal inspector and he will give her any information she needs to build a proper manure pit. Lisa, Mr. Fitzgerald, and Karen Bresnihan thanked the Board and retired. SEWER Mr. Smith told the Board there had been another sewer surcharge problem down SURCHARGE in the Saddle Club Road area during the heavy rains the latter part of last week. There was no back-up into houses except for one house where the check -valve failed, actually Mr. Smith said they did not know if the valve stuck or had failed. He said they started pumping the manholes around 4:30 p.m. on Thursday and they were pumping at the pumping station all weekend. Mr. Smith said people had water in their cellars this weekend that had never had water before and he also said that the "Res" filled up and it had been half empty; although Vinebrook didn't fill up as much this time. Mr. Lambie asked about the Infiltration/Inflow study.
