MINUTES January 17, 1989 3 BOARD OF HEALTH 19. ) E.A.M. report to Board re: Septic to abutting well - 143 Menemsha Rd. - McQuaid in ormed the Board that 'this matter has been discussed twice prior to this meeting. He explained that in observing the lot, a dis- tance of 75 feet could be increased by re-locating the leaching to either side and commented in measuring the distance between the well , (located in the basement of the house) , to the leaching area it does maintain a 75 foot distance. Mr. McQuiad stated the septic system cannot be installed and meet the Title V requirements and further commented that the system is in failure and in his opinion, if the Board creates a greater distance from what is there, improves the septic system, then the water supply would be safe-guarded more ade- quately than the existing condition. Mr. Greelish motioned 'to grant the 15 foot Variance from the 100 foot Title V State requirements between leaching and well due to the emer- gency repair, Mr. Wilson seconded. 20.) Submittal of original plans from Cape & Islands - Malloy, 156 Whippoor- will Circle - Mr. McQuaid presented to the Board the original plan mitted to this Board in 1987 and was approved based on the proposed sys- tem shown on plans, all abutters were notified as required with no oppo- sition. Mr . McQuaid explained that for an unknown reason the proposed well site was abandoned and a new well was drilled without a permit, under the driveway and commented that he went out to the new well site and measured the distance from the new well to the leaching area and was found to be tinder the 100 foot requirements. Mr. McQuaid stated a "stop work order" was placed at the site, until such time as a new revised plan was submitted delineating the distance from the new well to the septic and explained that the well driller recently requested a well permit for a third site however was informed that no well permits will be issued until plans showing the third well site is located. Mr. McQuaid informed the Board that Cape & Islands submitted plans for the third site however in reviewing the plans the well is delineated in the same location as original plans submitted. Mr. McQuaid requested the Boards approval before issuing a new well permit and requested that if the Board forwards their approval for the issuance of the well permit, that he be present when the well smaple is drawn from the site. The Board was in agreeance with Mr. McQuaid's request. 21 . ) Expired septic permit - 67 Waterline Drive - Mr. McQuaid informed the, Board that the installer was notified numerous times that there is a time limit for installation of septic systems however the "as built" cards were received after expiration took place.
