Use of the tested sites would require continued interconnection of septic systems <br />serving three individual dwellings, and the associated complexities and problems <br />• inherent in such interconnections. <br /># <br />• <br />2. Use of the suitable primary septic site would require the removal of at least three <br />mature pine trees and jeapordize other trees in the area; use of the alternate site would <br />similarly result in the removal of younger trees which provide screening and would <br />similarly jeapordize mature trees in the immediate area. <br />Page 1 of 4
