APPOINTMENT7 Cape and Islands Engineering— Proposed Auto Repair Shop Mr. John Slavinsky from Cape and Islands Engineering was in attendance for his scheduled appointment. Mr. Slavinsky stated, "The proposed auto repair shop is on the corner of Route 151 and Algonquin Avenue. A few months ago Buddy Cormier came before the Board of Health to talk about this plan. What the plan is calling for is all of the automotive repair work at Route 151 Shell will be shut down and move over to this proposed site. The bottom line is that it's a proposed automotive repair facility and it's in zone 2. We've got to be very limited on the septic flow out of the facility, which we are." Mr. Cram asked, "Is the overall zoning in this area commercial?" Mr. Slavinsky responded, "Yes it is zoned C-10." "What we have is waste oil. We're going to put a 500-gallon tank in the rear of the building in a concrete encased vault." Mr. Ball asked, "Has this already been perced?" Mr. Slavinsky responded, "Yes it has." Mr. Doherty asked, "To what extent is the owner willing to implement safeguards to protect the water underneath him? Obviously there aren't floor drains, that's not even an issue. But, you are going to be repairing cars and having oil dripping down onto the asphalt. When in rains it'll be going into the catch basins." Mr. McQuaid added, "I checked with the DEP on this as far as it being in the Zone 2 and near the wetlands. They said that as long as there is no industrial or hazardous discharge to the ground, they don't see any problems with this. But, that means that the outside waste oil holding tank is going to have to be approved by the fire department and, even though it's a small size tank, I believe that a double walled tank will be required with monitoring in between monitoring."
