Your office had requested Louis Berini, a part owner of <br /> the park, to provide you with information concerning the <br /> condition of the existing septic systems before giving approval <br /> for the project. <br /> At this time, I do not know of any malfunctioning systems in <br /> the park. However, we have seen an increase in the number of <br /> systems failing in the park in the past few years , mostly <br /> during the late winter and early spring when wetter conditions <br /> exist. Given the age of the systems and the limited amount of <br /> on-site repair options available, the expectation is that the <br /> numbers of failures will continue to increase and the <br /> likelihood of successful repairs will decrease. Because of <br /> these facts , we on the Environmental Health staff were hopeful <br /> and supportive of the Berini ' s efforts to install public sewer <br /> in the park. <br /> While there is no current emergency situation in the park, the <br /> public sewer would prevent such conditions in the future caused <br /> by failing septic systems . From . a public health standpoint ,- <br /> such preventative measures are always better than reactionary <br /> ones . <br /> For your information, I have enclosed a copy of a letter I sent <br /> to DEM concerning this matter back in early August. Please <br /> call or come see me if you have any questions concerning this <br /> matter. <br /> SOUTHERN ORANGE OFFICE:Carr Mill Mall, Suite 225, :00 N.
