APPOINTMENTS 7:15 PM -- Septic Tank Variance Request- 161 Commercial Street. Glen Harrington stated that discussions took place with Richard Capen and Joao Junqueira of Capewide Enterprises concerning an evaporator system, which was submitted for 161 Commercial Street. The Department of Environmental Protection considers the wastewater treatment system to be exempt. This is deemed to be a process tank not a holding tank. There is an exemption from 314 CMR 18.00, the Industrial Wastewater Holding Regulation. Therefore, this is not a variance. Mr. Harrington remarked that where this is a process tank and no longer an industrial wastewater holding tank the set of regulations that does apply is 310 CMR 7.00, the Air Pollution Control Regulation, Mr. Harrington recommended that where the air quality regulations apply, there is a requirement that a professional engineer design the treatment system, authorize the plan and then submit it to the Department of Environmental Protection for approval. Richard Capen of Capewide Enterprises, representing Jack Carter, owner of 161 Commercial Street, introduced himself to the Board: Mr. Harrington expressed concern about motor oil and antifreeze spills. Mr. Capen commented that there is a recovery system for oil and antifreeze and felt that any oil and antifreeze spills would be miniscule. Mr. Capen inquired about the use of an above-ground tight tank. Mr. Harrington stated that the industrial wastewater holding tank regulations allow above-ground and in-ground tanks. The engineer has approved.the in-ground tank as part of the original plan and will need to authorize the above-ground system. Mr. Capen will contact the engineer to amend the plan to include the above-ground tight tank. Lucy Burton made a motion that the Board of Health enable Glen Harrington to review and approve revised plans and application for an inside, above-ground, double-walled tight tank. Any further changes will be presented to the Board when the evaporator is submitted for approval_ Kalliope Egloff seconded the motion. .The motion was unanimously approved. 7:20 PM —Cesspool Variance and Enforceable Agreement—304 Shore Drive. Glen Harrington commented that the information to request the variance and enforceable agreement for 304 Shore Drive was not submitted. 1
