We'll do whatever it takes to enforce his rights. The application stressed that there were faulty septic systems on the street. But once the pipe was installed, few of the houses with faulty septics tied in while new developments sprung up. Borough Commissioner Michelle Hassis said one tract between Stevens Street and Sunset Boulevard would have had five houses at the most, but the sewer line allowed 17 to be built. The DEP allowed the sewer line on the condition that the borough list the street's most sensitive properties, based on criteria including elevations below 10 feet, wetlands and wetland buffer areas.

He said the borough did not even look at individual properties. Kevin Broderick, of the DEP's Land Use Regulation Program, said Willow Creek Farm should have been on the list.

Hassis, a Stevens Street resident, is hoping development on the street is reduced.
