<br /> 			Keith Dobie explained about the treatment plant.   Recomended most  cooly i •
<br />    		small. Plant that  consists of septic tanks Y  pre-treatment'l  r�c tating biological core.
<br />		tactor for biological treatment,-+c1aftfi.er,  terci.ary sfi1ter,cloronation usually
<br />		discharging into leechiang.    This type of system seems' to be more reliable than-some:
<br />		of the other systems,  quite  frankly it16 a little more  .dot. proof in its'  operation
<br />		than for instance an extended air treatment plantt   which can provide excellent re=y, `
<br /> µ       	sults but   requires a lot more skill in operation,  so the State in particular tends
<br />		to  lean to- this type of plant.and  since it works- out very well for us it I s what we�.�
<br />		recommend.     e've done a number off- them- over   the, years;  the closest    ►     o yo
<br />		be li eve i.s at- the   Sea Cre at Hotel j in.Falmouth.,L i f anyone- wanted to go over there� +
<br />		to  1r..1ee. that plant IS quite  sure that the management over   there,,  if you made arae,
<br />		went s,  if anyone would like,sae t	with thew and a plai n the plant  -'I'd be appy L
<br />		to do that,    Ba8lcally,,  the effluent coming out  of the plant.will he treated wits
<br />		highly,  the  BOD,,  soluble BDD,,  will be down in the vicinity of	which greatly exm
<br />		ceeds the  DEQE requirem nts of a 30-30 affluence of this kind of plant but,  we
<br />		found  in order to  get the nitrogen levels down,  in the vicinity the  DEME wants you
<br />		have to over-treat the waste  from a biol.ogicarl and organic point of view.    That
<br />		_•asi.call? Is the  system.     What we put together is not any one manufacturers package,
<br />  		o I  can't really show your     1 will leave a brochure that  shows exactly in order to
<br />		meet  State' requirements  o  we usually take a component here and a component them and
<br />		put together what turns out to be   a   fairly standard package  for the  State- of Masic•.,�� .
<br />		that  is an RBC,  Terciary sand Filter,    I  can leave you a couple' of broch  '.es telling
<br />		about t R&I's   Rptating Dilogic al Contactors,  there's a simplified. schematic that. shows
<br />		the type of  plant that you have and she write up on it,  although it'a pretty simpli-
<br />		fled,  what We're proposing is a little more  complex,, l d nI t-expect   you to read these
<br />		now,  but leave.  them for your revi„er,
<br />   										I'  have a copy oar- the engineers preliminary
<br />		report for the  sea Crest   in Falmouth,    a 'also did ' one  for Northeastern,  I guess w  - .+
<br />		can leave both of these with you   o you can seg type of report that will be done   prem.
<br />		limi+narily,. prior t   final design.    Braman Engineering will prepare a report  sal    ..} 'I
<br />		to this  for this project to DEE for preliminary approval,  at that time discuss conow
<br />		deptual approval and then final approval.   Mr.  Dobie showed Polaroid  snaps of
<br />		plant being constructed in Cohasset.  Not knowing how-familiar your are with this type
<br />		of facility   I   thought you milt  like to  see what one  lcb6ks  like.   Mr.  Buckingham
<br />		expressed his  interest in the project because he had_ seen reports and what other outfitts
<br />		are doing,  in other circumstances but this is our     ashpee l s   first experience with a
<br />		small unit.    Keith  Dobie  said the best way,  if you possibly can is to go. see  Sea Crest.
<br />		C.  Buckingham stated that he was glad to see that  Sea Crest  came through with the
<br />		plant because the  last lie knew they were having trouble with the area people,  he thea   	k
<br />		asked what the Nitrate/Nitrogen reduction was.   fir.  Dobie explained it was a little
<br />      																					Y4
<br />		difficult to talk about nitrates because raw waste really doesn't have  any nitrates-
<br />		it
<br />   																		itrates-it has organic, nitrogen in the forms  of L proteins  and other organic  substances and. 		•.11
<br />		ammonia and during the biological process those  components are broken down to nitrates
<br />		and a certain amount of that is de.-nitrified to nitrogen gas  and-oxygen and   so the.      	x
<br />		thing you really need to talk about in one of these. plants is the reduction of total 	F
<br />		nitrogen hrca se eventually in the ground. water all of this organic nitrogen and
<br />		ammonia i   going t     if it's dischar ed' into the   round is going into the ground in
<br />		�     	g     g     �    			g    		g      								.
<br />		the  form'of ni grate s   it vi 11 eventually,,, even i f you treat very poorly in a waste
<br />		water treatment plant,  if you limit the degree of treatment  you can actually get
<br />		ef , ents very low in nitratesbecause you haven't treated enough to break down the
<br />		ammonia or the  organic nitrogen into nitrates,  so -basically the removal is. going to b
<br />		on total nitrogen   about 70%, .70-75% and what  DEQE likes to  see is   and Cape  Cod. Plan-
<br /> 																	/Nitrogennir     who we've dealt with  quite often'.  they'd  like t   see the Nitrate 		in tie
