STATUS OF EXISTING SYSTEMS (CONT.) <br /> Fecent inspection of the northeast Stubbs Bay Area reveals minimal <br /> visible sewage eifluent discharging to the surface. However, complaints <br /> or seasonal problems of odors or discharges have been recorded. <br /> Pro erties located west of Stubbs Bay Road and north of B�icideSRo�ad <br /> P <br /> are generally located on large lots and have no known sep y <br /> problems . The concentration of homes and cottages on the northwest <br /> side of Stubbs Bay along West Lake Street will be inspected in the <br /> Spring of 1979 . � <br /> Conclusion - S�spected and know-n sySOSSible��roundaand surface watere � <br /> northeast Stubbs Bay Area, causing p g <br /> contamination.
