1 <br /> Hazardous Materials: <br /> Finding 37) Based on maps produced for the 2001 Regional Policy Plan, the site is <br /> located in an existing Wellhead Protection District, and as such, MPS 4.3:1.3 <br /> applies to both the construction and post-construction phases of this project. MPS <br /> 4.3.1.3 states that development and redevelopment that involves the use, treatment, <br /> generation, storage, or disposal of hazardous wastes or hazardous materials, with <br /> the exception of household quantities, shall not be allowed within Wellhead <br /> Protection Areas. <br /> Finding 38) Information received as part of the DRI review indicates that the <br /> amount of hazardous materials attributable to construction of this particular project <br /> will be relatively small. Hazardous materials attributable to the project post- <br /> construction include used lead acid batteries, propane (for the emergency <br /> generator), compressor oil, antifreeze, a battery and other lubricants for the <br /> emergency generator. <br /> Finding 39) MPS 4.3.1.1 states that development and redevelopment shall make <br /> reasonable efforts to minimize their hazardous material use and/or waste generation <br /> through source reduction, reuse, material substitution, employee education, and <br /> recycling. Applicants shall submit a plan to demonstrate how their project•will <br /> achieve conformance with this standard. Carriers that expressed an interest in <br /> locating on the Seacoast monopole included AT&T,Verizon and Cingular. AT&T <br /> indicated they do not need any back up system for their telecommunications <br /> equipment. Verizon intends to use both batteries and a propane-fueled generator, <br /> which is large enough to provide power to Cingular and any other potential carriers: <br /> As regards the air conditioning units, the applicant confirmed that mercury• <br /> switches will be replaced with digital switches; eliminatingthe concern posed by <br /> mercury to people and the environment. The applicant also committed to using, <br /> incandescent lights in place of fluorescent bulbs inside the equipment building, <br /> thereby eliminating the need to provide for recycling of mercury-containing <br /> fluorescent bulbs. Given the type of facility reviewed, these steps are sufficient to <br /> address MPS 4.3.1.1. <br /> Finding 40) MPS 4.3.1.2 states that development and redevelopment shall be in <br /> compliance with Massachusetts Hazardous Waste Regulations, 310 CMR 30.000. <br /> Applicants shall submit plan to demonstrate how their project will achieve <br /> conformance with this standard. Information received from Verizon and Seacoast <br /> LP indicates that Electronic Environments will service the air conditioners and <br /> emergency generator. Seacoast has provided EPA and state hazardous waste <br /> generator identification numbers for Electronic Environments. The company is <br /> registered with the Department of Environmental Protection. The class of <br /> generator the registration indicated would, if permits were in good standing, allow <br /> the company to handle the types and amounts of hz8rdous waste and waste oil <br /> generated by the proposed monopole facility. Given the type of facility, this <br /> information is adequate to address MPS 4.3.1.2. <br /> Finding 41) MPS 4.3.1.4. of the 2001 RPP requires that development and <br /> redevelopment shall prepare an emergency response plan that.identifies potential <br /> threats to employee safety and health and threats of environmental releases and <br /> II <br /> Seacoast,IncJMashpee,DRI Decision <br /> 9/19/02 <br /> Page 12 <br />
