<br /> She says newer systems are much more reliably hitting their numbers than the older <br /> legacy systems. <br /> <br />Health Agent Zackary Seabury mentions that Nitro is being approved and Nitrex is more <br />difficult to purchase because it is not locally manufactured. The I/A Technology is <br />already required in Nitrogen Sensitive areas requiring 10 mg/l or less. He has worked to <br />update the regulations to help reduce the nitrogen load by adding the regulation <br />requiring a setback of 1000 feet from surface waters. <br /> <br />He explains that some systems combine technology to get to the lowest Total Maximum <br />Daily Load (TMDL). Agent Seabury is looking at regulations to combine the effort of the <br />Health Department with the work of the Wastewater Department to lower the loads. <br />Areas that are not in the Nitrogen Sensitive Area are not required to install I/A <br />Technology. Agent Seabury will be taking all comments into consideration. Looking at <br />next best steps for regulation and combining with the Wastewater Dept efforts. <br /> <br />Mr. Livingston mentions as this I/A technology continues to develop and more choices <br />should be available to consumers in the future. He mentions he lives on a peninsula and <br />there are an incredible number of houses directly abutting the water that most likely <br />will not be sewered and that is why getting the I/A systems into these neighborhoods is <br />important. <br /> <br />Mr. Seabury notes this is why the Mashpee regulation for a 1000-foot setback from <br />water is important. <br /> <br />Mr. Ring says it’s a staged approach and weighing all the options is important. <br />Ms. Megaw refers to another brand of septic system called the Fuji Clean. Agent <br />Seabury says it’s a great system, but it has maintenance involved. He hopes the <br />manufacturer will develop it further. <br /> <br />Mr. Virgilio, thanks to the members of CPWB. <br /> <br />3.
