MrNUTES October 3, 1996 3 BOARD OF HEALTH <br /> Mr. McQuaid informed Mr. Crimmons, "D.E.P.. is requesting the name of the <br /> homeowners in the subdivision and a subdivision plan.1' "I will plot on the plan the wells <br /> and their depths based on the well water completion logs." "I met with the homeowners <br /> association in July of this year and at that time offered to sample any private wells at no <br /> charge."" '`M.. Cannon was supposed to provide me with a list of those homeowners who <br /> wanted them water tested.,,,,, '-`That didn't happen,„” "On the day I had three interns from <br /> the Mass. Maritime Academy helping me to do the sampling on Cranberry Ridge and <br /> Sampson Bill Roads I went to your neighborhood and asked residents if they would like <br /> their water sampled for v.ox.'s." I believe six or eight residents took me up on it and all <br /> the wells came up clean." "Since then, as late as this week, I was in touch withD.E.P. to <br /> find out what their latest findings are as far as the Augat monitoring wells." "At the latest <br /> Augat update that the Board had, we were informed that the well fence along <br /> Quinaquisset Avenue did show traces of contamination." "That was narrowed down and <br /> they drilled in about a dozen wells. of which I believe six the middle showed <br /> contamination." `They're farther delineating the plume." "I .E. .'s feeling, which i not <br /> in writing but over the phone as of this week, is that the plume is upswelling towards <br /> Quaker stun and will discharge into Quaker Run and eventually discharge into the bay." <br /> "It will not affect your neighborhood." "I am not comfortable with that until I see it in <br /> iting.77 "On the other hand, I think it is premature to establish any kind of samphng <br /> routine of the private wells in the your neighborhood Mess you, as the association <br /> president, can put together a petition for periodic sampling of your wells for v.o.c.'s." <br /> "Address that to the Board of Health and we will then present that to the Finance <br /> Committee for a transfer of ids." <br /> Mr. Doherty stated, "we are going to be asking Augat and I .E.P. to install <br /> monitoring wells right around Quaker Run itself:" <br /> Mr. Crimmons stated, "The association will be meeting around the last week in <br /> October to vote on petitioning the water District for water hookup."' <br /> Nir. McQuaid stated, "The U.S.fir.S. has modeling playas that they have established <br /> with military base plumes." "Thur can actually pull particles out of the toe of the plume <br /> and they can age define those particles and trace it back based on the flow per day of <br /> groundwater and trace it back to some source area." "I don't know if D.E.P. is going to <br /> require this of Augat." "'l know that D.E.P. has recently approved a thermal treatment <br /> plant for the onsite remediation of contamm* ated soils." "The groundwater thing is shill <br /> ongoing." I believe if D.E.I P. stands by what they told me verbally today, if it flowing m <br /> Quaker Run at the levels that are showing up in the monitoring wells and discharges into <br /> the ba I doubt strongly that I .B.P. is going to do any mitigation on the groundwater <br /> y� g <br />
