NUNUTES June 20, 1996 2 BOARD of HEALTH Mr. McQuaid relayed, "The Board approved plans pending an order of conditions from the Conservation Commission." "No State variances were necessitated." "The owner is proposing the installation of a bio-clere system with a u.v. fight,"' "There were no objections to the proposal until the application came before the Conservation Commission." "The Conservation Commission was vg to approve the plans pending our approval." "Mr. Lupo is requesting the Board reconsider granting the variance relief."' Mr. Bah motioned to reopen the matter regarding variance relief for 14 Ism Lane, Mr. Doherty seconded, all agreed. Mr. Lupo stated, I am present this evening to request the Board reconsider its vote of Jure 13, 1996." "1 think this decision was made without the Board's knowledge of some very serious extenuating circumstances.' "I have a letter from the engineering firm of Hohnes and McGrath which states the lot is unbudable."' "The most recent plan indicates that abutting wells are 101' from the proposed leaching facility." "In my opinion, and other abutter's opinion we feel the plan which locates our we11s i inaccurate." `The Hohnes and McGrath report states there is not enough room for the installation of-a leaching facility." "At the Conservation Commission meeting they tentatively granted a wetlands variance.15 "1 feel it was approved because they are proposing a denitrification system with a u.v. light." 'The efficiency of the u.v. light is based on intensity, time exposure and penetration." "It states in the literature it is good for 8000 hours." '"That calculates out to 333 days." "It also states the efficiency is reduced to %, which is about halfway through the life span of these bulbs. `How is the Board going to be sure these bulbs are ever going to be changed.' Mr. Bexley stated, "I feel the 100' is way to tight and I am also concerned about the distance to the Mashpee River.' Ms. Bexley stated, "our well is not in-the location delineated on the plans." "I am concerned as I do have a sick child who has a low immune system." Mr. McQuaid stated, "I believe Holmes and McGrath was not aware of our regulation that allows credit o " to the wetlands.,' "The applicant is proposing denitrifying system and some type of u.v. disinfection." `with that regulation in mind Cape & Islands was able to put the system further away from the abutting wells thereby, creating at least a 100' separation."" `'we never received any comments from Holmes McGrath." ��I believe when the Board granted the variances they considered the fact that oundrater flow would be towards the river and there are no active wells ugradient of the proposed septic system."'
