TRAPPE — Last Tuesday evening, Trappe’s Planning Commission approved the changing of three lots set aside for spray irrigation into one parcel for the Lakeside Wastewater Treatment Plant. This change will help the plan meet requirements from the Talbot County Health Department.
Ryan Showalter, Lakeside’s attorney, said new representatives of the Health Department had waited to provide comments on the preliminary and final plans for Lakeside until they receive approval from the Maryland Department of the Environment.
MDE requested two changes to the final plan. The first relates to the Health Department’s signature approval block. The approval block before referenced the parcels that are associated with the treatment plan. According to Showalter it basically said they’re approved as lots for development purposes.
The second change pertains to the lots for the spray irrigation field. According to Showalter, there were three lots for the spray field, which was everything north of the treatment plant, the storage lagoon and the reserve spray field was a lot.
MDE is requesting all the lots to be on a single parcel, essentially erasing boundary lines on the plan.
“And so that’s the only change, is to remove those internal division lines so that what was three lots is now Lot C.â€
According to Robert Rauch, this change in no way alters the boundaries or acreage of the parcels.
“We had three parcels associated with the spray field they wanted to incorporate into a single parcel,†he said. “Didn’t change any of the boundaries. Didn’t change every acreage, but we had to switch them to a single parcel instead of three separate ones.â€
The planning commission unanimously approved a motion to authorize Commission President Edgar to sign the revised plats when they are approved by the Health Department and MDE.
Rauch shared with the commission that the wastewater treatment plant is now meeting effluent requirements and the Health Department and MDE approved that the treatment plant can start discharging to the lagoon starting last week.
