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 /> 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 <br />
