water line is to be installed, and there is an electric line over the existing septic. Because of safety concerns <br />Mr. Torrey will not dig in the area of the electrical and gas lines. The owner engaged the services of another <br />contractor to remove the snow from the area so that Mr. Torrey would be able to replace the leach field. <br />Attorney Kirrane remarked that an application was filed and approved with the Barnstable County Loan <br />Program to finance the installation of this system, and Mr. Torrey is on record as the installer. Every effort has <br />been made to have the system installed. The garage is no longer occupied eliminating the extra bedroom. The <br />Building Department requested that the stove in the garage be removed and that the electric be disconnected <br />so that the garage cannot be used as living space. Currently, there is a principle dwelling with 3 bedrooms <br />which is consistent with the design of the septic system. <br />The Board and Attorney Kirrane discussed an installation date and potentially hiring another septic installer. <br />However, there are issues with the gas and electrical lines. Attorney Kirrane further remarked that the extra <br />bedroom has been eliminated, the switch at the bottom of the stairs has been addressed, and the smoke <br />detectors have been replaced. Ms. Parsons is making every effort to correct the situation. <br />Kalliope Egloff made a motion that the Board of Health require the Certificate of Compliance for 140 Noisy <br />Hole Road be issued by March 16, 2015, and continue the discussion of fines to March 19, 2015. Burton <br />Kaplan seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. <br />3. Community Septic Loan Program. <br />Glen Harrington remarked that it has always been his understanding the 5% interest that is paid back from the <br />betterments belongs to the Town of Mashpee and can be utilized by the Town as long as it is applied to the <br />septic program. Mr. Harrington believed that it was not necessary to return to Town Meeting for re- <br />authorization for the use of the interest. If the principle that was paid back was re -loaned, then that money <br />would need to be presented at Town Meeting for authorization. <br />Pamela Truesdale, from the Community Septic Loan Program for the Department of Environmental Protection <br />for the Massachusetts Wastewater Abatement Trust, agreed with Glen Harrington that the interest does not <br />need to be re -authorized each year. Mr. Harrington forwarded the letter from Ms. Truesdale to the Mashpee <br />Town Accountant and the Mashpee Town Manager, and both still insist the monies be re -authorized at the <br />Mashpee Town Meeting. Mr. Harrington would like to have the septic systems repaired sooner, but as long as <br />the systems are pumped and there is no hazard, approval of the loan can wait until Town Meeting. <br />ADDITIONAL TOPICS <br />None. <br />NEXT MEETING <br />The next meeting of the Board of Health is scheduled for Thursday, March 5, 2015, at 7:00 PM. As there was <br />no further business, Burton Kaplan made a motion to adjourn the Public Session Meeting of the Board of <br />Health at 8:10 PM, Lucy Burton seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Frances Boulos <br />Administrative Assistant <br />Mashpee Board of Health <br />attachments <br />4 <br />
