i i i NffNUTES September 19 1996 4 BOARD OF HEALTH supposed to do a perc test." -,We did the perc test the day of the soil testing and that was witnessed by Orin," Mr. Cram stated, "It does say at least two pert tests should be performed." Ir. Sanicki stated, "I didn't personally do the perc test but I know we had water on the site.' "I assumed Orin had to tests done on-site." "'Soil conditions in both holes were similar." `"In both soil tests the profile were identical."' "I assume there were two pert tests done on the lot." "But even if there asn"t it's common sense to me that if the soils are the sane they're gomng to Pere the same." "'This particular soil perked less than two minutcs per inch." Mr. McQuaid stated, "Orin insists on two deep observation holes, he perks one." "If the soils are identical there is no need to perk both holes." "I doubt that is in Title v and I know we need two holes." Ir. Sanicki stated, "In reference to 15.104(7) I dont know why she put that in here I just don't understand this." "'You can't do a pert test after the hole has been open for three days." "Why she put that in there doesn't make sense to me." "Me soil test and the perc test is done the same day."' "'Some of this stuff'I don't understand why- it looks nice on paper as far as 17m concerned." 4`I going to pass that one because the pert test was done the saa.e day and the hole was done." "'15.107 that references hydro geolo gical properties and for other parts of the State they're looking for bedrock beneath the system so you have sufficient permeable material in the soil.,"' "We discussed this at the previous hearing, the soil maps by the Mate, the sensitive area by the river we can go deeper with backhoe - you open up a hole it falls in." "'We can go closer to the water and confirm." "If we hit bedrock in this location or in most of this town actually I would be totally flabbergasted it's confirmed it's all an out rash*7" "I would say in 90% of the town of Mashpee the soil hasn't any bedrock beneath it." "That's ghat she's eluding to i assume in that particular situation." "With reference to 15.212 depth to groundwater.3013 "At the previous hearing I understand her question, test hole #2 was done approximately at elevation 20 we did a 10' hole that puts me down to elevation 10." "The bottom of the septic system is 3.7" I'm going 1377 so I shoving 3.7' below the bottom of the test hole and die's alluding that I'm not telling the Board that there i ' of permeable material beneath this system."" � ecogni ing the soil maps, recognizing the elevations, recog min the elevation at the salt marsh, the top of the salt marsh is rmning between 2. ' and 3.2. and then I mentioned elevation ." "If the groundwater was elevation 6 it would be seeping out the sideall of this particular area." "6 to 13 gives you 7 almost 81 above groundwater."' "I know factually by observations that there is definitely more then 5' above groundwater for this particular septic system design."
