Marrett St.

record for this location. Because there are no plans on file for the septic system, the
Board asked Fox to visit the site and determine if a new well has been installed on the
property without a permit. Fox will also request a septic plan from the owner of the
property in order to review the setbacks.

member Biosafety Committee.
