Informal Discussion:
Proposed Changes to Title 5 Mike Moore informed the members of changes to Title 5, which the State is proposing to make and gave them a list of the proposed revisions. Mike will go through the changes in more detail and report back to the members at a later meeting.
Lincoln Board of Health Regulations Mike also went over with the members the latest draft of revisions to LBHR 2.00: On-Site Disposal Systems. The percolation rate for leaching facilities for new construction will be lowered from 60 minutes per inch, which was adopted by the State to 30 minutes per inch. A copy of the latest draft will be given to the Planning Board and Conservation Commission for their input.

Mike will have a final draft for the members at a later date and before any public hearings.
