Steve Greelish , being the other member of the technology subcommittee , will review it . - There was a meeting today on the Title V/treatment plant question . Ian , Greg Taylor , Elias McQuaid , Mark Pare and Kelly Whalen attended . Ian was told the Title V system is out , for various reasons . This directive came from the Selectmen . The options are continue with the plant as proposed or reduce the flow of the plant , in which case they would have to apply for a variance from DEP. The savings would be small . Ian suggested continuing with the design of the proposed plant but determine, from the other schools who are having problems with their plants , what those problems are so they don ' t occur with this plant . Getting a variance involves a lot of effort and a lot of time . Steve Greelish , who was not present at last weeks meeting , was surprised the Board of Health considered a conventional system. The size of this plant was the issue . If you use the DEP formula, it is so inefficient that the plant does not work properly i .e Sandwich and Nauset . The issue is what should be the size of the plant. There are fixed costs , but there are some size differences that could provide cost savings . We want the plant to run efficiently . We can make an argument with the DEP as to the size of the plant. Ian asked if that will take more time to get approvals? Steve does not think it will add significant time . Peter asked what gallonage should it be? That needs review, a cooperative effort by the engineers . Paul asked if the plumbing department had the true flows , based on the fixtures that will be in the building? Ian said it will be about 8 , 000 gallons per day . What will the total student capacity be with an addition? Ed said the addition could add a house - 550 more students . 1
