look into identifying the way in which the escrow funds would be released to Windchime. Mr. <br /> Bennett anticipated the cost to be approximately a quarter million dollars and again requested <br /> relief from the costly water monitoring program, which he viewed as punitive,to three <br /> monitoring wells on a quarterly basis. It was noted that if the funds were released, the funds <br /> would need to be deposited back to the Town. Mr. Bennett pointed out there was an additional <br /> State fund, the Financial Assurance Mechanisms, which contained funds from Windchime. <br /> Mr. Lehrer stated that the Special Permit indicated that the system should meet S mg/L, but 10 <br /> mg/L was considered technically compliant. Mr. Lehrer spoke with Mr. Fudala who confirmed <br /> that the increased monitoring was due to the development's location near the Mashpee River, <br /> Mr. Bennett stated that Mashpee Commons produced 180,000 gallons of now compared to <br /> Windchime's 20,000 gallons. Mr. Bennett and Mr. Cummings again disagreed with the flows. <br /> Mr. Lehrer stated that most facilities were meeting 10 mg/L but that he would develop a <br /> spreadsheet showing each of the facilities. Mr. Bennett stated that he would design for S mg/L <br /> and meet 10 mg/L. <br /> The Chair requested a letter from Windchime requesting the escrow funds and Mr. Lehrer will <br /> follow up with the Treasurer. The Chair would also like more information about Mashpee <br /> requiring treatment to 3 mg/L as well as the Financial Assurance Mechanism required by the <br /> State, and possible removal of the escrow requirement from the Special Permit Modification. <br /> Mr. Bennett stated his preference that the Planning Board reconsider Windchime's need to <br /> resubmit escrow to the Town and reducing the water quality monitoring program. The Chair <br /> suggested Mr. Bennett draft his recommendation regarding reductions to the monitoring program <br /> and Mr. Bennett suggested the possibility of providing it annually rather than quarterly. Mr. <br /> Hansen referenced his experience at Southport and the FAM responsibility and inquired when <br /> Windchime's license would be renewed. Mr. Bennett responded that the anticipated work was a <br /> proactive effort for anticipated non-compliance. Referencing data from the monitoring reports, <br /> Mr. Bennett noted that results showed Mashpee River was becoming more impacted, adding that <br /> the up gradient portion, which was not impacted by Windchime, was outpacing the down <br /> gradient portion. Mr. Bennett suggest that if there were four or five stations along the River, the <br /> Town would have a better sense of the location of the problems. Mr. Bennett expressed interest <br /> in knowing the Town's intent of the master plan regarding existing wastewater treatment <br /> facilities and the Chair suggested contacting the Sewer Commission. Mr. Bennett noted that <br /> there was consideration regarding various waste water treatment options. <br /> OLD BUSINESS <br /> Update on ®ckway Highlands-Regarding the development, Mr. Morin confirmed that <br /> drainage, water system, electrical system and the base coat of the pavement were in place for the <br /> subdivision.
