Hydrogeologist and Michael Scipione and <br /> Michael Hanlon from Weston & Sampson. " "In the guidelines <br /> that D.E.P. uses to classify all the landfills the one that <br /> the town failed was the requirement that semiprivate/private <br /> wells are prohibited between 500' feet of the active portion <br /> of a landfill . " "There are two private wells that are within <br /> 50' of the 500' radius requirement. " "One is on Asher's Path <br /> the other is on Papnomet Road.

" "They are also requesting we address the <br /> Summerwood wells as they were of the opinion the wells were <br /> being utilized for irrigation purposes and a list of those <br /> residents still on private wells in the Cotuit Corners area. " <br /> "We have approximately two weeks to present D.E.P. will the <br /> information after which they will go to Boston and hopefully <br /> reclassify the landfill . " "'I my opinion there is no need to <br /> appropriate funds at the annual town meeting to cap the land- <br /> fill . " "We will have either one to three or three to seven <br /> years in which to cap the landfill . " <br /> Mr. Ball stated, "I have prepared a list of those <br /> residents in the High Sachem Estates area which are still on <br /> private wells. " "There are a few homes with children.
