I notice this is an application for renewal, which implies spreading of septage on this property already is or has been occurring. Property owners on Shepard Lake, which is adjacent to this site, use the lake for swimming and other recreational activities. Some even draw water from the lake for bathing and other household uses. As a condition of approval, the applicant should be required to complete soil and/or water testing of the lake and surrounding wetlands to confirm contaminant levels associated with septage are within a safe range. These results should be published to all Shepard Lake property owners.
