2. Notice of Scoping for Chester Wastewater Planning Study
Municipality where proposed project would be located: Chester
Address of Possible Project Location(s): "Village area" of Chester
Project Description: A study of the most suitable means to meet the wastewater disposal needs in the central portion of the town of Chester, commonly refered to as the "village area", and its proximal areas. The village area has a long history of water pollution problems from on-going wastewater disposal systems. Also, the community subsurface system located off Maple Street that services the village area is not adequate to meet future needs. These historic problems in the village area are a result of population density, small lot sizes, high groundwater and poor soils. The study will evaluate the existing community subsurface disposal system for rehabilitation or expansion, and explore connecting to the existing Town of Deep River's collection system as an alternative for treatment and disposal. The study area includes the existing village area and an proposed sewer route to Deep River's collection system.
