1. Title V Variances Requests
Gray, 69 Spring Brook Rd., Map 47, Parcel 37. Peter Coneen represented the applicant and stated there will be an addition to the house. A new title 5 system was installed in 2002 and there will be approximately a 5’ setback to the septic tank with the new addition. He stated the tanks were oriented in an east/west position. He stated the foundation will be waterproofed and the system was approved by DEP. The increase in the habitable space does not affect the current conditions. Alex Hay moved to approve the variance for increase in habitable area and the 4.5’ separation from foundation wall and septic tank; seconded by John O’Hara; passed 4-0. Previous conditions still apply.
Jones/Davis, 34 Eric’s Way, Map 8, Parcel 66. David Burnie represented the applicant and he requested a permit to remediate an existing system. He stated there are no variance requests in the application and referred to the letter from DEP which approved the remediation. He gave a history of the installations in other towns of the Aerostream system over the past year. He explained the difference between the White Knight system and Aerostream, stating Aerostream is an easier and cleaner installation. He stated he wants to install the Aerostream in both septic tanks. They have pumped the existing tanks two times in the last 60 days and the condos are year round. The ground water is
4’ +. Agent Greenberg-Lemos questioned the adjustment of high ground water level. Burnie stated he feels this remediation will restore the system to its original state. When cleaning takes place, there is a vacuum truck so nothing is disturbed. Ken Granlund moved to approve the installation; seconded by Alex Hay; passed 4-0 with conditions:
1. Current ground adjusted water to be supplied to the Health Office prior to issuance of disposable works construction permit.
2. Inspection port to be provided within the SAS down to the lower stone/soil interface.
3. O & M contract required for the life of the system.
4. Additional monitoring per DEP letter dated January 27, 2009, revised May 12, 2011.
5. Any restriction in design flow and all conditions shall be recorded against the deed for the property at the Registry ini Barnstable, and proof of deed recording shall be submitted to the Health Department prior to the issuance of the Disposal Works Permit.
2. Business
A joint meeting with the Recycling Committee is scheduled for Sept. 14, 2011 to discuss “pay as you throw “save as you throw/ single stream recycling”, and Paul Sieloff wanted the Board to consider increasing the sticker fees. There was discussion regarding permits fees for commercial haulers and different size trucks that go to the transfer station. Agent Greenberg-Lemos will discuss how the fees were set up with Mark Vincent of the DPW. Willecke stated there needs to be clarification on the fee schedule.
