MINUTES June 1, 2000 10 BOARD OF HEALTH even been told here that in the discussions with the Board they didn't have any intention of doing that. They never even entertained it." Mr. Eichner responded, "Again, let's not get into a question of what the minutes say. But, I understand what you are saying." Mr. Bliss stated, "But you heard the Board say that we couldn't have done anything else. They said that they would have encouraged but they couldn't have required. You heard this guy say that he didn't have anything to barter and didn't want to barter. I don't know what more you could be looking for." Mr. Eichner stated, "I'm not looking for anything else. But it's not my decision, that's what I'm telling you. It's the subcommittee's decision. We'll hear what happens at the public hearing. I'm going to report what I've heard here today and I think it's pretty clear." Mr. Santos asked, "What has been the Committee's reservations or questions to you as far as why they are going through all of this?" Mr. Eichner responded, "There was a question... I mean, what prompted all of this was the submittal of the minutes of the Board of Health which raised some questions about what was exactly required and what wasn't required and what agreements had been reached between the Board and Life.

This is the best thing for the environment as far as what we should be looking for. We're getting sidetracked on all of this other stuff that's going on here." Mr. Eichner stated, "If I wasn't clear, the question has always been... The Talanian project has to acquire some amount of existing flow in order to off-set the flow that they are going to be adding, the nitrogen load that they are going to be... Now, during the public hearing the question was raised whether that flow, the concentration in that flow of nitrogen, would be what be what comes out of a standard Title V septic system or what comes out of a denitrifying septic system. That's the questions that has been raised." Mr. Mahoney asked, "What do you mean by credit? I don't understand that. Is it, for give u 50 000 for 10 acres of land over there if you let me overbuild example, I'll o $ P � Y over here? Is that what this boils down to?" Mr. Eichner responded, "This boils down to, within this watershed which has water quality P YP J uali problems, an projects that come under the Commission review have to offset
