-7- Pauline: Any questions, Charles? Charles: No. What I was asking for is what I was looking for. Mr. Hennigan: Are you satisfied with the answer? Charles: Yes. I just want to amplify it. Where we are now where these proposed septic systems will be there will be an additional lift there. What_I am saying 1s that cur- rently, if you will look at my hands, the present level of the surface is here. From that site down to ground water . Mr. Hennigan: It won't be that great. This is the area that principally has been filled and if you will notice the drops here, you are talking about ten feet and you are going down to six and three George Benway: Go ahead, Charles. Charles: What I am driving at and I want to be perfectly clear is that the Title V regu- lations are that there be four feet. When the lift comes in, there will be more than four feet. That is the point that I wanted to make clear. George Benway: It will be more like six feet, won't it? Mr. Hennigan: You will have 12 feet from the ground level to the bottom of the area. The minimum requirements is four feet. 'iThe new Sanitary Code of 1979 spells it out pretty well. Incidentally, Charlie, I sent a copy, of that code to the Board of Health for your informa- tion. Charles: That is what I want to be clear about. Mr. Hennigan: Any further questions onshellfish? Pauline: I don't have any questions. Mr. Hennigan: I!d refer to fill, page 75 and_I refer to land containing shellfish, page 43, for your edification. Pauline: Okay. Mr. Hennigan: Thank you very .much for your very close attention. Dick Terry, Planning Board Mashpee River We would like to get the Conservation's advice, help and support on the whole river situa- tion. I would like to do it with a joint proposal with the planning board and conservation commission both co-sponsoring something. The problem is we sort to have to act quickly to get it under town warrant. My understanding is February 4 is the final date to get it in, although it could be amended after that as long as the sense is there and so forth. Now, what we are trying to do and my mission is, I am going to try and draft it with the help of Kathryn Preston if she can help me with any technical stuff. They can do up these maps, the State can, so that we don't have to be charged to do this kind of aerial photography.
