<br /> TOWN OF MASHPEE, BOARD OFHEALTH, [BEET 1 C, FEBRUARY 8, 1988 Rage three
<br /> 10. hair: "It's 3:30 and we have invited, Mimi McConnell ,. C tuft later Commis-
<br /> sioner
<br /> m is-
<br /> si n r to discuss with us the Stratford Pond and Waters Edge projects"
<br /> Mimi : "I was here on November 2nd with some other people. l didn 't I n w w
<br /> were also goi n to talk about Waters Edge,., but I did bring some material . . ,after
<br /> the group of us were here on November 2nd I wrote you a memo and the Planning Bd.
<br /> asking specific questions about Waters Edge and that case. As time went on w
<br /> said to each other what shall we df:�abeut these, shall we seek legal counsel t
<br /> tell us least hew to mitigate the danger from both of these developments and that
<br /> is what we did,, in December ber we did engage the law firm, from Boston of McGregor,
<br /> Shea and Dliner that had a - lot- f experience in this kind of thing and are ex-
<br /> pts on sewage treatment plants among other things , se that's why we chose them.
<br /> You people and the other boards were very kind in letting me copy voluminous ma-
<br /> terial
<br /> a-
<br /> t rial for them, which they then d i gusted 'and cane up with the first document that
<br /> is this particular one dated January 20th, which was given to the Planning Board
<br /> that right, in person, and then I showed it to fir. McQuaid and now you have at
<br /> least one copy, I guess. If you've had a chance to look at it you' ll see the main
<br /> objections ,, one of which w about can talk out first wh tf h is the interim sewage treat
<br /> nt situation wh i.h is a conventional one.. And of course the letter that was at-
<br /> tached from Thomas McMahan of DEE indicated that they don't approve of this and
<br /> f Course the water commissioners don 't approve of it either; because it's the
<br /> Closest place of all t our well , it' s gust over the border, in fact. Naturally,
<br /> we would hope that i't never gets built. Thom of course, we've been talking , hear-
<br /> ing about the package treatment plant up North at the edge of the property which
<br /> would then serve the whole development but, wh ih -the developer really doesn't
<br /> want to build, he would like to ship everything o a sub-regional plant at the
<br /> Town Dump or another site."
<br /> Chair:- ."l think his feeling that it could be, built at the Town Disposal area
<br /> is a -little optimistic. There had been, and our consultants , Weston Sampson
<br /> have been encouraging the various, opponents of treatment plants., particularly in
<br /> that_,,- id .,of town , where there were a group of gettingtogether and each ntr i- .
<br /> *.ti.��:�d' 1 '..�' '.kms '�, •-.t�..
<br /> b ng .. piece _ :::ha

<br /> p _ � �• are �
<br /> f _ ' a�oh of the develop ents and out �
<br /> nt one large plant ant and take
<br /> it. From my contact with the group and, it's been going on now for almost a year;
<br /> they ran into a snag on whether; the original property they had originally thought
<br /> of was large enough of "'take%th fu l l ar ount. RI Im not sure -where that stands now,
<br /> but at no time have our Consultants been tallying of a town operated or municipal
<br /> operated septage�treatment plant,.which would be large. enough to handle anymore
<br /> than the residential usage* which would not include.-the condominium set-up, the
<br /> original thought was that they w u l d q a�l l be on their own. plants and the town
<br /> would take over the operation of those plants, maintenan e and operation, after
<br /> they were completed."
<br /> iRC : "Let me interrupt again, since yo.u've been sick, we've had another
<br /> meeting of the Sewer Cate, it' s true what you said about trying to find a. site.
<br /> All of the developers have agreed to pooling their monies in putting up a plant,
<br /> in excess of what is needed and pay for it on town property which would be the
<br /> tern dump; the Sewer Cate told them that they weren't sure that could happen be-
<br /> cause it is town property and we don't g i ve town property away.. It's tending
<br /> to go that way right no ,they are mooring rather quickly now., in fact they've pint
<br /> up more money to do some more surveying, three of them have put up more coney to
<br /> have more work done on the site even though they are not guaranteed that the site
<br /> is available, from the town because that will have to be voted upon, if there--is
<br /> don't want to do -it, we-1 l that's the Chance they have,-
<br /> r
<br /> opposition end people d
<br /> to take, they're moving ahead very quickly.
