Lane, Lot 25 Our Job No. #201382 ------------------- We have the results from the testing laboratory for the effluent leaving the RUCK filter. The measurements indicate that the RUCK filter is not working properly and that little or no nitrification is taking place. Since the filter fails to nitrify or fails to convert ammonia (Nhx) and organic nitrogen (TKN) to nitrate (NO3) , your RUCK system will not work. We have hired George Botelho Inc . to install a new RUCK filter adjacent to your existing RUCK filter. George Botelho Inc . will perform the work the first week of April 2003 . We will witness the installation. If you have any questions, please call or write me. Sincerely, INIJOVATIVE PJJCK Michael B . McG ath, P.E P.L. S . President MBM/sg cc,: ,Rein Laak,~wPh.D:. y d..

FAX: 508-790-6304 Brian R.Grady,R.S. Ralph A.Murphy,M.D. Decision of the Board of Health Regarding Lots 1 Through 14 and Lots 16 Through 25 Falling Leaf Lane, Osterville, Shown on Subdivision Plan dated February 11, 1984, revised April 23, 1984 and Identified as Parcels 3.001 Through 3.014 on Assessor's Map 144, and Parcels 3.016 Through 3.025 on Assessor's Map 144. PROCEDURAL HISTORY On November 18, 1996, the Board of Health agent, Thomas McKean, R.S., C.H.O., received twenty-four (24) disposal system permit applications along with two checks totaling $2,400.00 from Peter Sullivan, P.E., of Baxter and Nye Incorporated, who was representing O.R.E. Associates Incorporated and Osterville Highlands Trust pertaining to proposed construction along Falling Leaf Lane, Osterville. The lots are located off of Acorn Drive, Osterville Massachusetts, and are identified as parcels 3.001 through parcels 3.014 on Assessors Map 144, and parcels 3.016 through 3.025 on Assessor's Map 144. The disposal system construction applications indicated that parcels 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, and 24 (all 4 the even numbered lots) were owned by Osterville Highlands Trust. The remaining applications 1 indicated that parcels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 17, 19, 21, 23, and 25 (all the odd numbered lots) were owned by O.R.E. Associates. On or about November 21, 1996, Mr. McKean disapproved all twenty-four disposal construction permit applications due to the fact that the plans lacked maximum feasible compliance with the State Environmental Code, Title 5. He also returned the checks totaling $2,400.00 to Peter Sullivan, P.E., of Baxter and Nye, Incorporated, and invited him to attend a Board of Health hearing scheduled on Tuesday December 17, 1996 in order to provide Mr. Sullivan the opportunity show why he, and the owners of the parcels, believed it would be feasible to construct septic systems on these 24 lots which would meet the provisions of Title 5, the State Environmental Code. During the first hearing which was held on December 17, 1996, the applicant requested a continuance. Then the Board members voted to continue this matter to the February 4, 1997 public meeting. On February 4, 1997, the applicant again requested a continuance; then the Board members voted to continue this matter to the March 4, 1997 public meeting. Continuation hearings were also held on the following dates during 1997: June 17th, July 1 st, and August 19th. Many documents were submitted into the record by both the applicant(s) and the Board of Health. The Board members rendered a decision on September 3, 1997 during a special public hearing. 2 FINDINGS OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH After discussion and based upon the evidence submitted, the Board of Health made the following findings: I. All 25 lots in the subdivision fall within a DEP approved Zone II of a public water supply: the Centerville-Osterville-Marstons Mills Water district wells CO# 10, CO AR#3,4, and CO MC#2. The Zone II for these wells was approved by DEP May 3, 1994. Further, these wells are showing nitrate levels in the range of 1-3 mg/L; these levels clearly exceed background nitrate levels (generally <0.5 mg/L) and are indicative that nitrogen from human sources is reaching these wells. Septic systems are known to be the largest source of nitrogen to groundwater on Cape Cod. 2. All lots in the subdivision•are within a DEP-defined nitrogen sensitive area as defined in 310 CMR 15.215(1). 3. Further, the majority of lots in the subdivision (lots 1-10 and 16-25) fall within the town of Barnstable defined WP zone, the five year time of travel contribution zone to a public water supply. 4. Septic system effluent is a known source of nitrate and other possible contaminants to the public water supply. 5. Increasing density of housing is associated with increased levels of nitrate and other contaminants in groundwater. 6. In recognition of 4 and 5 above, DEP has determined per 310 CMR 15.214(I), that no system serving new construction in a nitrogen sensitive area designated in 310 CMR 15.215 shall 3 1 be designed to receive or shall receive more than 440 gallons of design flow per day per acre except as set forth at 310 CMR 15.216 (aggregate flows) or 15.217 (enhanced nitrogen removal). 7. All lots in the subdivision are less than an acre in size. Further, all lots, except lots 23 and 21, are less than one-half acre (20,000 sf). Under the nitrogen loading requirements of 310 CMR 15.214, the half-acre lots would be entitled to a 220 design flow, the lots less than one-half acre would be entitled to a 110 gpd design flow. 8. Under the Title 5 transition rules, 310 CMR 15.005, the owner of a lot on which construction of a septic system in full compliance with 310 CMR 15.000 is not feasible.is entitled to construct a system with a cumulative design flow of up to 330 gpd provided that the system is constructed 'in compliance with 310 CMR 15.000 to the maximum extent feasible as determined by the local approving authority pursuant to 310 CMR 15.404 and 15.405. 9. 310 CMR 15.404 (maximum feasible compliance) states that a non-conforming system may be brought into compliance.through the installation of an alternative system (i.e. a nitrogen removal system with associated design flow credit may be used.to bring a system into compliance with the requirements of 310 CMR 15.214). 10. The Board is in receipt of a letter from DEP to William Nye (one of the applicants)dated February 4, 1997 stating that "the department interprets compliance with the requirements of 310 CMR 15.005 (3)(a) through (c) to require, pursuant to 310 CMR 15.005(c), a considered assessment by the proponent of approved nitrogen removal technologies when site limitations prevent attainment of the 440 gallon per acre design flow standard set for new construction under 310 CMR 15.215(1)..." 4 11. The applicant is entitled to pursue an aggregate determination of nitrogen loading per 310 CMR 15.216 and DEP guidelines. It is this board's belief that the cumulative acreage in the subdivision, minus the acreage devoted to roads, when considered in the aggregate is sufficient to allow the construction of 2-bedroom homes (220 gpd design flow) on twenty of the lots and this will be in general compliance with the nitrogen loading requirements of 310 CMR 15.214. 12. The applicant has acknowledged that lot 15 will be used for drainage and is not to be considered buildable. 13. At the hearings held on August 19, 1997 and September 3, 1997, the applicants proposed to the Board that dwellings located on 20 of the lots, which specific lots they identified, would be limited to 2 bedrooms unless the system(s) are modified to include enhanced nutrient removal as approved by the Board of Health in which case.a dwelling served by a modified system may be permitted to have not more than 3 bedrooms. The remaining four lots would be limited to not more than 3 bedrooms and said system(s) must be modified to include enhanced nutrient removal as approved by the Board of Health. 14. Based upon the evidence presented, the Board finds that the applicants can achieve maximum feasible compliance with 310 CM 15.000 through either 1) the construction of 2- bedroom homes on twenty of the lots with the remaining four lots provided with nitrogen removal technology; the twenty lots must have appropriate restrictions placed upon their deeds to indicate that only 2 bedrooms are allowed, or 2) the installation of nitrogen removal technology on any lot will entitle the owner to a design flow of 330 gpd. 5 15. The applicant may choose in the future to present to this board an aggregate nitrogen loading which complies with 310 CMR 15.216; this plan, if approved by the board, will negate the restrictions in 14 above. ACTION TAKEN BY BOARD OF HEALTH Based upon the Board's unanimous approval of the proposed findings, the Board of Health voted to take the following action regarding the pending twenty-four applications for disposal system construction permits submitted by the applicants Osterville Highland Tru st, John Alger, Trustee and ORE Associates, Inc.: A) Disposal System Construction Permits shall issue to ORE Associates, Inc. for lots 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 17, 19, 21, 25 and to Osterville Highland Trust, John Alger, Trustee for lots 2, 4, 6, ii 8, 10, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, as designed, said issuance subject to compliance with the following conditions: 1. All dwellings shall be limited to 2 bedrooms unless the system(s) is modified to include enhanced nutrient removal as approved by the Board of Health in which case a dwelling served by a modified system may be permitted to have not more than 3 bedrooms. 2. Each plan shall be modified by the applicants to include a notation containing the full text of the language recited in paragraph (A)(1) above. 3. Deed restrictions, approved as to form by the Town Attorney, limiting the use of the dwellings to two bedrooms on each of the above-referenced lots shall be recorded at the Barnstable Registry of Deeds. A copy of the recorded deed restriction for the particular lot for 6 f which a Disposal System Construction Permit is sought shall be provided to the Barnstable Board of Health prior to the issuance of a Disposal System Construction Permit. (B) Disposal System Construction Permits shall issue to ORE Associates, Inc. for lots I and 23 and to Osterville Highland Trust, John Alger, Trustee for lots 12 and 22, as designed, subject to compliance with the following conditions: 1. All dwellings shall be limited to not more than 3 bedrooms and said system(s) must be modified to include enhanced nutrient removal as approved by the Board of Health. 2. Each plan shall be modified by the applicants to include a notation containing the full text of the language recited in paragraph (13)(1) above. (C) No permit shall issue for lot 15 which has been designated, pursuant to the initial subdivision approval by the Planning Board, as a lot reserved for drainage. (D) The issuance of the permits, as restricted, shall not prejudice or,otherwise limit the right of both applicants, jointly or severally, to file with the Board of Health and the DEP a plan pursuant to the provisions of 310 CMR 15.216(2), nor shall the mere filing of such a plan obligate the Board of Health to approve same.

Under the Title 5 transition rules, 310 CMR 15.005, the owner of a lot on which construction of a septic system in full compliance with 310 CMR 15.000 is not feasible.is entitled to construct a system with a cumulative design flow of up to 330 gpd provided that the system is constructed in compliance with 310 CMR 15.000 to the maximum extent feasible as determined by the local approving authority pursuant to 310 CMR.15.404 and 15.405. 9. 310 CMR 15.404 (maximum feasible compliance) states that a non-conforming system may be brought into compliance through the installation of an alternative system (i.e. a nitrogen removal system with associated design flow credit may,be used to bring a system into compliance with the requirements of 310 CMR 15.214)., 10. The Board is in receipt of a letter from DEP to William Nye (one .of the applicants)dated February 4, 1997 stating that "the department interprets compliance with the requirements of 310 CMR 15.005 (3)(a) through (c) to require, pursuant to 310 CMR 15.005(c), a considered assessment by the proponent of approved nitrogen removal tech nologies'when site limitations prevent attainment of the 440 gallon per,acre design flow standard set for new construction under 310 CMR 15.215(1)..." 15. The applicant may choose in the future to present to this board an aggregate nitrogen loading which complies with 310 CMR 15.216; this plan, if approved by the board, will negate the restrictions in 14 above.

' Also find enclosed, in this booklet, a copy of a portion of the RUCK System plans for McShane Construction, Co. at Lot 25, Falling Leaf Lane in Barnstable, MA, as well as a copy of the following: ' 1. Specifications ' 2. Monitoring Program 3. Maintenance Program ' 4. Homeowners Fact Sheet 5. General Certification from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) ' 6. Letter from the DEP on Septic Tank Sizing and Testing and Letter on Treatment Plant Operator Requirement. ' 7. A copy of a paper from URI by GOLD etal on Pathogen Removal from Buried Sand Filters (RUCK Filters) ' 8. Nitrogen Definitions tRUCK Systems are passive denytrifying septic systems. Residential RUCK Systems are constructed by separating blackwater from greywater. The black water is the effluent from toilets and the kitchen sink. All other wastewater is greywater. The excreted organisms, phosphorus and nitrogen rich ' blackwater flows from the blackwater septic tank to a specially designed, aerobic, no maintenance, subsurface RUCK filter. RUCK filters are constructed in a watertight container with alternating layers of ' sand and crushed stone. Special inserts called "INDRAINS" are installed into the sand layers. Bacteria in ' the unsaturated RUCK filter oxidize the nitrogen to nitrate, creating desirable acid conditions to enhance the removal of phosphorus and pathogens. Blackwater is then re-combined with greywater in the greywater septic tank. The greywater, containing biodegradable organic carbon, serves as the anaerobic ' electron donor to denitrify nitrate to nitrogen gas. The denitrification process adds alkalinity, converting the liquid back to normal pH. The redefined effluent can then be discharged to a standard sized leaching field. 1 A flow diagram of the RUCK treatment system is shown in Figure 1. Components of the system are: separation of black and greywater flows, a blackwater septic tank, a RUCK filter, a greywater septic ' tank, and a standard leaching field. The design normally requires no additives or energy. The enclosures in this booklet provide specifications and describe monitoring and maintenance of the RUCK System. Further, the DEP has issued letters clarifying the approval and testing requirements as well as not ' requiring a Certified Treatment Plant Operator. We trust the above meets with your approval. If you have any questions, please call or write me. ' Sincerely, ' Innovative RUCK Systems, Inc. ' Timothy M.

Ruck Systems are designed to remove nitrogen ' from wastewater, before being discharged into the environment. Nitrogen in groundwater eventually takes the form of nitrates which can travel long distances in the groundwater. High levels of nitrates can ' be a health threat to people in addition to having adverse effects on water quality in harbors, estuaries, bays, and marine environments of all types. ' The wastewater from your home is separated into two categories called "blackwater" and "greywater". Blackwater comes from the toilets and the kitchen sink. Greywater comes from all the other fixtures in ' the home. The blackwater and the greywater are separated within the house and flow from the house into two separate septic tanks. The blackwater then flows through the RUCK filter before combining with the greywater in the greywater septic tank. All of the wastewater that has left the house has now been ' collected in the greywater septic tank. From this point it flows into a distribution box and is discharged to the environment by what is called a soil absorption system. This system may be in the form of a leaching field or a leaching trench configuration. The RUCK filter is served by two vents. One vent runs back to the house and up through the roof. The other vent is outside the house. It is important that these vents do not become blocked as they provide air to the RUCK filter. This supply of air is critical to the treatment of the wastewater. If the vents are blocked, the RUCK system will malfunction and noxious odors may be emitted. ' The most important components of your wastewater treatment system as a whole are the septic tanks. These tanks are designed to allow solids materials to settle out of the wastewater. It is important that this ' settled out sludge does not overburden the septic tank and allow solid materials to escape with the water leaving the septic tank. These suspended solids will clog the RUCK filter or the soil absorption system. The maintenance schedule you have been provided with has been designed to insure that sludge build up ' is checked, and that the sludge is removed by a licensed septic hauler. The tanks should be inspected each year. The frequency of septic tank pumping intervals will be dependent on the volume and composition of wastewater passing through the tank. ' Do not dispose of non-biode radeable materials such as sanitary napkins, disposable diapers, and other P g rY P P such material into your system. You should not dispose of cooking oil, fat, or grease in your system as ' this will accelerate the clogging of the septic tanks and/or soil absorption system and the result will be increased pumping costs. ' The system is not designed to treat hazardous materials such as cleaning solvents, pesticides, acids, disinfectants, gasoline, oils, kerosene or any other chemical substance that will interfere with the wastewater treatment system. Residential wastewater treatment systems can not properly treat such ' hazardous materials and they will pass through the system only to be discharged into the environment. The proper operation of your on-site septic system is critical to the health of the environment and your ' enjoyment of that environment. As an owner, you should be aware that your wastewater treatment system has been designed based on the ' number of bedrooms in your home. Any additions to the home will require the approval of the Board of Health as well as the Building Inspector. Your system is not designed to accept waste from a garbage ' disposal. You should not connect a garbage disposal to your system without approval from the engineer who designed your system, as well as the Board of Health. ' The nitrogen removal capabilities of the system only provide high levels of treatment to the blackwater and for that reason, any ammonia based cleaners or dairy products should be dumped into the toilets or ' the kitchen sink. Dumping any exotic chemical compounds into the system may cause the destruction of the bacteria within the system and this will cause foul odors to be emitted from the vents. Normally, the vents do not smell. If a foul odor is present and persists, wastewater may have backed up into the RUCK ' filter. If a foul odor is being emitted from the vents, the distribution box and soil absorption components of the system should be inspected. If you would like the vent moved to another location for aesthetic or some other reason, contact the design engineer and the Board of Health. The system will fail to remove ' nitrogen if the vent is not properly located. The design engineer and installation contractor information should be recorded in the event that there are ' any problems or questions that you may have in the future.
