when it was presented, but wanted Cape&Islands to attempt to locate the sand. Cape&islands <br /> has since done some additional deep hole testing and found acceptable pervious sand layer at <br /> 125". <br /> The Busse system with the phosphorous removal Is the proposed technology, and has only been <br /> used in one location in Massachusetts,so the Board wanted clarification on this technology. Mr. <br /> Costa stated that the Board has actually approved a Busse system before, without the <br /> phosphorous removal technology. He noted that it has both a physical filter and a biological filter, <br /> and described it as being like a mini wastewater treatment plant In a basement. it will not <br /> discharge without going through that phosphorous removal process. Mr. Costa spoke to the <br /> technology proprietor,who indicated that they are going to go for Piloting Approval with the DEP, <br /> because it will give them the opportunity to install up to 15 systems. He stated that they were <br /> encouraged to learn there are funds available to help implement this technology at other sites, <br /> and proposed that this could be a demonstration site. It would also allow the owner to develop <br /> the lot, since this has created a hardship for them. The owners have always been under the <br /> presumption that this is a buildable lot. <br /> Ms. Warden stated there is a tremendous amount of silt loam in that area, and Mr. Costa <br /> responded that the majority of the lot is fill, then goes to peat, and then hits the "C" layer for <br /> sand. The owners did not put the peat there. He stated that the real advantage here Is that it <br /> allows implementation of this phosphorous removal technology which would be a great net <br /> environmental benefit. <br /> Mr. Harrington did not think the soil was an issue, stating that a Health Agent can confirm the 4- <br /> 5'of pervious material at the time of construction. He reminded Board members that the whole <br /> site will have to be excavated, to get down to a solid footing for the dwelling. It was Mr. <br /> Harrington's opinion that the best possible scenario was being provided with this system. <br /> There being no further comments or discussion,Ernest Virgilio moved to approve use of the Busse <br /> system and phosphorous removal technology at 38 Quail Hollow Road, pending DEP Piloting <br /> Approval.
