Mr, Harrington suggested that sampling begin after the first month, when the system is up and running, <br /> Ms. Langler did not think there should be a nitrogen limitation, and Chair Baumgaertel agreed, stating <br /> that the board regulates based on DEP, not the Cape Cod Commission. The Commission can have its own <br /> agreement with the applicant, separate from the Board of Health and with its own requirements, which <br /> they must enforce based on their stipulations for approval in that development. <br /> Mr. Harrington offered to do the final technical review of the revised full-scale plans once submitted. <br /> There being no further comments or discussion,Laurel Almquist moved to approve the Title V Design Plan <br /> for 31 Evergreen Circle, pending final technical review of the revised full-scale design plans by Glen <br /> Harrington,and with testing to begin after the first month and being performed quarterly for the first year <br /> for influent sampling for pH, ammonia, BOD5, dissolved oxygen and total nitrogen. After the first year, <br /> testing would revert back to DEP requirements for field testing. Motion seconded by Mallory Langler. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous (3-0). <br /> OLD BUSINESS <br /> 1, Review and discussion of draft Innovative/Alternative Septic Regulation, Mr. Harrington <br /> commented that, at the April 4th meeting, Matt Costa of Cape & Islands Engineering addressed <br /> the board and made the following recommendations: 1)approvals continue to be granted by the <br /> Health Agents; 2) service contracts be required for all maintenance; 3) pressure distribution be <br /> required; and 4) minimum training requirements be set for anyone performing I/A inspections. <br /> Mr. Harrington reviewed the following discussion items: <br /> • Section 5.1.c — The UV light is required if the SAS is 75' or less to the BVW, and Mr. <br /> Harrington recommended adding the denite to that requirement so the UV is not installed <br /> alone. He also recommended that all I/A systems meet the 19 mg/L total nitrogen in <br /> nitrogen sensitive areas, This clarifies an issue between the existing regulation and DEP <br /> requirements, and makes it more consistent. Chair Baumgaertel noted that this was for <br /> residential only and that commercial would have to meet 25 mg/L total nitrogen. Ms. <br /> Langler recommended that we specify that in the regulation. <br /> • Section 5.3,a— Monitoring of I/A systems is proposed to be reduced to not require the <br /> quarterly inspection for two years, per DEP approval letters, There is also a <br /> recommendation to put the maintenance of Remedial and General to two times per year <br /> with field testing. Mr. Harrington asked if the board wants to make this retroactive to <br /> existing systems or limit it to new installs only. <br /> • Section 5.3.b — This section changes UV disinfection maintenance and testing from <br /> quarterly for two years to annual inspection and testing,with a required contract. <br /> • Section 5.3.d—Effluent tee filter requirements were added, Mr, Harrington asked if the <br /> board wants to require a contract for these, or allow the homeowner to be able to <br /> perform the maintenance. <br /> • Section 5.3.e—Sets sampling point requirements. <br /> • Section 5.3.f— Changes to pressure distribution requirements. Mr. Harrington asked if <br /> the board wants to be more restrictive than the Title V requirement. <br /> Mr.Harrington provided an explanation and justification for his recommended changes to Section <br /> 5.1.c. Ms. Langler stated that Sections 5.3,a and 5.3.f should apply to new systems only going <br /> 2 <br />
