MINUTES April 13, 2000 7 BOARD OF HEALTH would have the keys, open the doors and use it. There are a lot of problems associated with this choice and the continuing rise of cost to use dumpsters. Mr. Santos wanted to return to the issue of the judging of the waste. For example, if you were picking up commercial waste in the Town of Mashpee, there is a monthly/yearly report that comes back to the BOH regarding the tonnage. Why can't the same report be produced for the recyclable material? The trash hauler stated that he can pick up 40 to 60 cans and that is a load. The pick up of cardboard is sporadic. Everyone has a trashcan. But, very few people have a cardboard can. You would have to make a guesstimate versus an actual figure of how much is being recycled. Co-mingled recyclable trash is $45.00 per ton as the going rate at present. Mr. Ball concluded the meeting by stating that he appreciated everyone coming to the meeting to spend the time to discuss this issue. He also stated that the Recycling Committee would be in touch and keep them informed of any updates regarding this issue. APPOINTMENT: New Seabury re: Ocean Bluff Cottage and Other Permit Extension Requests Mr. Michael Grotzke of New Seabury was in attendance for this scheduled appointment. Mr. McQuaid stated that Mr. Grotzke presented the BOH with completely revised separate plans last week that conform with the new Title V as far as the type of leaching system to be used. It eliminates the leaching pits that had previously been installed and uses newer shallower 500-gallon dry wells. One of the only non- conforming items left is number of bedrooms limit. However, it does propose seven bedrooms versus the original ten which was based on the original inspection of the structures on the property. The other non-conforming item is that they are not proposing a denitrification system to help offset the number of bedrooms exceeding what would be allowed under the new Title V. This was reviewed by the two Board members present last week. The two Board members decided to postpone any decision until this week until a full Board was present. Mr. Ball asked Mr. McQuaid if he had been in contact with the DEP at all? Mr. McQuaid confirmed that he had been in touch with the DEP and had faxed up a copy of Mr. Grotzke's cover letter to them prior to last week's meeting. The DEP wanted to remind the Board that they had 45 days to review the plan. Since then Mr. McQuaid had been in touch with the DEP in order to inform them that the BOH was ready to make a decision tonight. The DEP's comment was that the local BOH would not approve the plans unless the New Seabury applicant were to propose a denitrification system with the septic system. This was due to the fact that New Seabury applicant is asking for a variance and not specifying that the variance is in relationship to the new Title V. The variance relates to the Town of Mashpee regulations that has a limit of 660 gallons per acre. Also, in granting this variance the DEP reminds the BOH that two issues have to be satisfied. The first being that the applicant has to prove to the BOH, that not granting the variance would be "manifest Ilk L
