MINUTES July 15, 1999 3 BOARD OF HEALTH <br /> Mr. Marchessault added, "The fact sheet was a joint fact sheet developed by AFCEE, <br /> EPA and.DEP. We all reviewed it. We all commented on it and this is what we all feel <br /> was adequate.' <br /> Mr. Minior stated, "The levels of contaminants that were detected in the pond are <br /> below the safe drinking water levels so, therefore, if you can drink the water why <br /> should you be concerned with swimming in it or using the pond for recreation?" <br /> Mr. McQuaid stated, "That is the exact same attitude that the DEP has and that is <br /> shared by-the Sandwich Health Agent and myself with regard to the J. Braden <br /> Thompson plume. If it is still safe to drink the water, why post Mashpee-Wakeby <br /> pond. I feel the exact same way with regard to posting John's Pond with the data we <br /> have." <br /> Mr. Doherty stated, "Normally when everything is fine, we post in order to broadcast a <br /> warning. I think a lot of people are concerned and might have some questions in their <br /> minds. I don't,really see any harm in this. It might be a service to the people to tell <br /> them that everything is okay. We're also giving them a source for additional <br /> information if they want to follow up on it. I believe there is some benefit to be derived <br /> from it." <br /> Mr. Cram stated, "I would like to see some sort of confirmation that AFCEE, DEP and <br /> EPA are all in agreement with the .content of the fact sheet." <br /> Mr. Doherty requested, "Can we get a copy of the minutes and the vote on this? If we <br /> have that on file showing the organizations who approved it, that would be fine." <br /> The Board asked to continue this item until after the receipt of the minutes from <br /> AFCEE regarding the vote from the various organizations involved. <br /> 2.
