EAM indicated he intented to go, however with Ronnie's absence decided it best not to go. This meeting was to be with the new Commissioner, and more initiative than substantive. 17. MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT, S.E. ASSOCIATION OF BOARDS OF HEALTH, E. BRIDGEWATER, 1/18/98 at 6:30 W. EAM stated that it should be an interesting meeting with Gilbert Joly being the quest speaker.

EAM, indicated that this is a Saturday seminar which he would like to attend since it deals with water quality, beach standards and other issues directly related 'to the Board's activities. 19. SUBDIVISION PLANS, GOODWIN & YOUNG, GREAT HAY ROAD WITH LETTER FROM KV ASSOCIATES. EAM stated that KV used the "Association for the Preservation of Cape Cod" well protection guideline which not only requires a 1501 well to septic seperation bit also takes into account the groundwater flow. This is a revised plan in that the first didnot 'take into consideration the location of abbuting wells and septics. A discussion followed regarding the exact location of this proposed subdivision. RGC asked that we forward our other normal ccrifefts as to road drains, wetlands and topography to the Planning Board. 20. REQUEST BY MCINTIRE TO BRING DISCARDED LEACHING STONE TO TIME LANDFILL. EAM stated that due to a proposed addition the amount of leaching stone had to be increased and the old stone discarded. Under normal circum- stances an upgrade to Title V involves abandoning a cesspool and installing a new system. The cesspool would -then be purged clean and filled in place with clean sand. In this case however the question arose as to where to bring the abandoned leaching stone. McIntire appanrently was told that the landfill would not accept it. EAM called DEQE Division of Water Pollution Control and the Division of Solid Waste and was eventually informed that our landfill can accept it as long as the load does not contain any liquids, that a designated sit(:, and a hole be dug, filled with the load and imTediately covered with landfill. GRC in- dicated that there should be a reasonable charge to the owner for the excavation of a special hole.. EAM questioned who should determine the fee. SJG stated that it should be based on the time involved for the equipment and operator to dig the hole. ROC stated that Ernie should be informed of DEQE's decision and that a REASONABLE fee be, set. RGC further stated that the location should be determined by EAM and Ernie. If he has any problem with that Ernie can come to the Board. APPOINTMENT 3:30 PM JOIN SLAVINSKI (CAPE AND ISLANDS SURVEYING) FOR KOUILARIS, ARE DRIVE & SALZER WHIP- UNILL CIRCLE, Salvinski stated that this was informational only. 1. KOULARIS, SHORE DRIVE. JS stated this location is adjacerrt to Mrs. Andersen's. He indicated that tie had previously received written permission from the abettor -to the rear to enter onto their land to enable a 251 strip out to take place. This person now is in a nursing home and the heirs do not honor the previous permission. The only well in question is Norrie's everyone else is on Highwood. A hearing with the BOH already took place and the variance on filling on the abuttor's land was granted. JS further stated that the existing cesspool must be sitting in water and that it's bound to fail, we. admitted that they plan to put on an addition, otherwise you could approve a failed system with any variances. The lot is 65X10O'.When they move down here year round the system will fail. What would the Board recommend, a retaining wall? EAM stated that on one side water was a a t 30" and on the other side., closest to Nonie we couldn't get through the peat. at 131. RGC suggeested looking into having Nonie hook into Highwood. Since they're good friends as you stated, if your client is willing to pay for Nonie's Highwood connection that would solve the problem. He further stated that the addition should be upward not outward due 'to the lot size. SJG due to the amount of peat and the groundwater table, you should consider putting the system out front, depending on other well distances. JS questioned the possibility of putting a system on another lot. RGC stated the only time the BCH had done this was with an easement from an association on open space.
