1. Title V Variances Requests
Town of Wellfleet – septic system for beach sticker office. David Lajoie gave an overview of the project, stating there is an existing 1,000 gallon septic tank which could be used as a holding tank for this season. Alex Hay questioned if the town could ask DEP to utilize the 1,000 gallon tank up to the point when a final plan is in place in order to save money by not having to replace the tank with a 2,000 gallon tank. Rowell noted the minimum design flow for the office/retail space is 200 gpd and felt that the existing 1000 gallon tank provided 5 days retention.DEP has to approve the plan along with the pumping schedule. Lezli Rowell moved to approve Felco, Inc. plan 08091, dated April 10/2011, for the upgrade of a septic system to serve the Town Beach Sticker Office
