he hoped to have them trained by the middle of January. He
further stated that the Health Department was requesting that
all property owners have a backhoe available at the site as this
would save the inspectors time when making their test and that
it was his understanding that Frederick County had been placed
at the top of the list for getting these perk tests done on
time.
Mr. Stiles stated that there had been a dramatic increase
in the amount of complaints being received by the Board members
and the County Administrator's Office and one of the hardest
things to explain is why lots that were approved in the past are
now being denied.

familiar with and it had been referred to the Attorney General's
Office. This particular request was originally approved in

that were having private consultants do the perk tests.

change.

matter.
Mr. Albert Nicholson appeared before the Board and stated
that he had been trying to get twelve acres perked but had been
unable to do so. He further stated that the same acreage had
passed the perk approval for Mr. Darlington but the Health De-
partment would not approve it for him.

did not feel he should elaborate any further on it at this time

the Board to say that she had two five acre tracts and the
Health Department said that neither would perk, however acreage
fifty feet down the road did pass.
Mr. Ted Lyons from Gore stated that he had been trying
since 1986 to resolve a drainfield situation with the Health
Department and had not been successful in doing so.

problem.

length of time involved in digging a drainfield.

statement that was made by Mr. Sluder wherein he said that
eighty percent of the land in Frederick County would not perk
and he disagreed with this statement.

County that would not perk but he felt eighty percent was not an
accurate percentage.
