requirements for the oversite of the system so that it doesn't have to be a manufacturer who <br /> oversees it. <br /> CHAIR BAUMGAERTEL : right. <br /> r® Harrington: Okay, good. <br /> CHAIR BAUMGAERTEL : What is the interplay in this case between the ground water discharge <br /> regulations and Title 5? 1 know why we're in this category, but I feel like there is a detail that <br /> we're overlooking or something in this whole thing? Why did the DEP approve this in the first <br /> place? Its pressure dosed, right? I'm trying to recall, I haven't looked at the plans for this in a <br /> longtime. <br /> Mr. Harrington: It is pressure distribution <br /> CHAIR BAll IVIGAERTEL : Its pressure distribution, but they put no treatment and DEP approved <br /> it that way. <br /> Mr. Harrington: I think they did it because there was a 4000 gallon reduction of flow on the <br /> property. It went from just over 14,000 to just over 10,000. <br /> Ms. Willander: Was that due to the iaundromat? <br /> Mr. Harrington: of the laundrornat and the restaurant. It went from an 80 seat restaurant to <br /> a 20 seat restaurant and taking the 5 laundry machines out, that's 400 gallons per day, sothat"s <br /> 2,000 right there and there was another 2,200 galllons per day of flow that was eliminated with <br /> the reduction in the restaurant. We would do the same thing so that's why I thought this whole <br /> appeal was sketchy at best, because we would give them a whole lot less of a hard time if they're <br /> reducing the flow by that much. Between 10,000 and 15,000 gallons per day so DER essentially <br /> takes oversite of it, over 10,000, they consider a large system over 10,000, even though it's still <br /> under Title 5, which I've always had a hard time with. I've always thought DEP takes ground <br /> water permit which is over 15,000 gallons per day. On the flip side is that they can put ground <br /> water discharge permit requirements on a Title 5 system that is over 10,000 gallons per day, <br /> Because we had that down at Mashpee Medical. Mashpee Medical was under 15,000 gallons <br /> and they had a ground water discharge permit. <br /> CHAIR BAUMGAERTEL : This zone 2 <br /> Mr. Harrington: No, it is not zone 2. So it's not drinking water that is driving this, It is all damage <br /> to the Mashpee River due to nitrogen. <br /> CHAIR BAUMGAERTIEL : at the time that they issued approval for this, because I know Phase 1 <br /> has changed, Phase 1 was supposed to include this section <br /> Mr. Harrington:that's correct and It no longer does. <br /> Ms. Willander: It was taken out because they didn't know how generous the town would be or <br /> how favorably the town would look at it, so they thought if they made itsmaller the reduction <br /> would be more appealing to the town. <br />
