003-78 <br /> Planning Board member Kizer asked several questions bbout fire hydrants <br /> (none are planned) , the cul de sac turn arounds (about 70 feet), and if any - <br /> treatment was planned for mosquitos or bugs at the lagoon. <br /> Mr. Zucchino said he didn't think any treatment was planned. That <br /> chlorinization was planned from the lagoon to the field for spraying. Mr. <br /> Kizer then asked if the lagoon was raw sewage and if so, how were solids <br /> removed. Mr. Zucchino said the lagoon was raw sewage and there was a solid . <br /> removal screen but he didn't know how it worked. Mr. Kizer then asked about - <br /> the elevation of the wells planned for the site and their relation to the <br /> lagoon drainage site. Mr. Zucchino responded he thought elevation of the wells <br /> was about 35'-40' above the lagoon.
