Bill Thompson, Dave Warden and Becky Smith from IEP <br /> presented their work. Presented a handout of the summary of <br /> water quality analysis which has been conducted to date. <br /> Becky Smith stated the 9 occupied unit are discharging less <br /> than 2 , 000 gallons per day to the leaching -area. <br /> Under full development it will discharge more than 30,000 <br /> gallons per day to the waste water treatment plant. <br /> They presented a map which showed monitoring wells installed <br /> by IEP. <br /> Since Dec of 1988 they have conducted water quality testing <br /> of these 4 wells . They have also produced a water table map <br /> which shows groundwater flowing northeast to the Mashpee <br /> River. <br /> Water Quality on site is very good. It is improving from <br /> upgradient to downgradient. There is no septic plume <br /> emanating from leaching fields at Windchime. <br /> Future work will include: installation of another monitoring <br /> well and 3 in wetlands along Mashpee River and they will <br /> test all 8 wells and surface water sampling of Mashpee River <br /> and botanical sampling. This will bring Windchime Point <br /> into compliance with their monitoring agreement. <br /> Bill Thompson stated that there is some degradation of water <br /> quality occurring upgradient of the site. <br /> Tom asked what is the time of travel from upgradient to <br /> downgradient well? Could be Highwood Water plume moving <br /> through. <br /> Bill stated that typically it flows 1 foot per day. <br /> He stated that they are not looking at the effects of <br /> Highwood Water but of the effects of this development on <br /> groundwater. <br /> There is a spike upgradient in Oct. which may indicate <br /> loading from septic systems from Fields Point. <br /> This septic system is designed for 9, 000 gal. and is <br /> receiving only 2, 000 gal. per day <br /> Louise asked how far is septic system from downgradient <br /> well? <br /> Becky stated that it is 100 feet from monitoring well 4 . <br /> Pat stated that it needs looking at since they cannot track <br /> fully what comes onto your site but are blamed for what goes <br /> out. <br /> Bill stated that all they can do is track change of water <br /> quality across the site. <br /> Wayne asked if they could try to establish the travel time . <br /> Tom asked if they had seen the GZA work, it is available. <br /> Fields Point is doing additional work toward their EIR. <br /> There were no public questions or comments regarding the, <br /> water quality monitoring. <br /> Tony stated that one of the major issues is that there has <br /> been no communication for some time between project and the <br /> Board. There needs to be an adjusted phasing schedule . <br /> - 3 -- <br />
