Summary
Outback Engineering presented a microFAST plan for an office building at 207 Bedford Street; the Board approved a reduction in required separation from high groundwater to allow the system in the paved area.
Outback Engineering representative Jack Sturgeon presented a local upgrade request for 207 Bedford Street to install a microFAST system beneath paved area for an office building. The applicant requested a reduction in the separation between the system bottom and the estimated high groundwater from 4 feet to 2 feet.
Board members discussed that the requested reduction is slightly beyond the usual allowance but noted the system design and site constraints support the proposal. One board member observed that the built system’s hydraulic loads and the fast system’s allowances made the variance acceptable for this site.
The motion to approve the single local upgrade request carried with members present voting in favor. The board recorded no additional special conditions beyond standard permitting and testing requirements.
