Matthew Haney requested to continue the discussion of the November 9, 2016, Board of Health Decision Letter to the next Board of Health meeting scheduled on January 5, 2017. The Board of Health did not grant continuance and discussed the violations in the Old Business portion of the meeting. 7:25 PM — Lakeside Estates Well Water Quality—300 Nathan Ellis Highway. Doug Karson of the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) at Joint Base Cape Cod, introduced himself to the Board and provided an update on the clean-up efforts being provided by his agency in Mashpee including updates on the firefighting foam that was used on the Base from 1970 until 1985. The foam traveled into the groundwater, the ponds, and the private wells nearby. Mr. Karson provided maps, charts, and hand- outs to the Board and to Mr. Harrington. Mr. Karson commented that the properties affected by the contaminants have been tested, provided with bottled water, and installed with a carbon filtration system. All testing and maintenance is provided by the Air Force. Mr. Karson remarked that he contacted Mr. William Haney of Lakeside Estates for permission to test the well on the property located at 300 Nathan Ellis Highway. On November 14, 2016, the results returned with a level above the EPA health advisory. Mr. Karson was able to obtain a list of the residents of Lakeside Estates and delivered notices to the occupants that bottled water would be available. Mr. Karson is waiting for Mr. Haney's approval to have a carbon filtration system installed, since municipal water connection is not funded by the Air Force. Joyce Fuller, living at 300 Nathan Ellis Highway, Lot 57, introduced herself to the Board. Ms. Fuller has lived at Lakeside Estates for 20 years and has dealt with the water situation in other ways, such as broken pipes. Ms. Fuller thanked Mr. Karson for delivering water and responding to their emails in a timely manner. Arrangements have been made for the manager of Lakeside Estates to deliver the water to the units. The manager resides on the property but is not on the property during the day. Ms. Fuller would like the property connected to municipal water, as the Water District would immediately respond to emergency situations. NEW BUSINESS 1. Sign Expense Warrants. The Board members signed the expense warrants. 2. Review/Approve BOH Public Session Minutes: December 1, 2016. Brian Baumgaertel made a motion that the Board of Health approve the Public Session minutes of December 1, 2016, as amended. Kalliope Egloff seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. 3. Amend Food Establishment Permit: Cape Cod Coffee (348 Main Street). Glen Harrington stated that Jan and Pamela Aggerbeck, owners of Cape Cod Coffee, requested for Mr. Harrington to read their letter since they were unable to attend the Board of Health meeting. Since taking ownership in 2015, they have had significant growth of the company with positive feedback. One of the few negatives is that there is no seating in their retail store. A floor plan has been provided, and Mr. Harrington researched the septic capacity. The septic capacity is acceptable for the 14 seats. No food will be made within the facility other than the previously permitted coffee. The donuts will be prepared in the trailer outside. The Building Department has reviewed the addition of chairs without any issues. The septic needs to be inspected because of the increase in flow, and their permit must be amended to include the 14 seats. Brian Baumgaertel made a motion that the Board of Health amend the Food Establishment Permit for Cape Cod Coffee, 348 Main Street, with the conditions that a septic inspection be performed to determine if the system can handle the increase in flow. Also, require that the food establishment permit be revised to add the 14 seats. Kalliope Egloff seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. OLD BUSINESS 1. Local BOH and Title V Variance Request: Jerome Monaghan — 18 Half Hitch Lane. Jerome Monaghan, owner of 18 Half Hitch Lane, introduced himself to the Board. 2
