The developer must submit a copy of a master plan to the Board showing the locations of the proposed and existing wells, and septic systems throughout the subdivision prior to issuance of any building permits. Building permits will not be approved by the Board of Health on individual lots until the well is installed and certification submitted as to the bacteriological and mineral content of the water by a State Approved Laboratory. The water must meet all of the standards established by the Safe Drinking Act of 1974, revised 1986 and all the standards of the Board of Health's Private Well Regulation effective June 1, 1989. The developer shall have recorded on the deed that no variances from Title 5, Minimum Requirements for the Subsurface Disposal of Sanitary Sewage, and the Town of Barnstable Health Regulations will be granted on any lot in this subdivision. A percolation test must be made on each lot, at each leaching site, before a Disposal Works Construction Permit will be issued. Maximum ground water elevations must be determined by using data available from the United States Geological Survey - Probable High Ground Water Levels on Cape Cod, Mass. Each proposed septic system must conform strictly to 310 CMR 15.00, the State Environmental Code, Title 5, and Town of Barnstable Rules and Regulations. All tree stumps, brush and building debris removed when clearing lots or roads must be disposed of at a licensed solid waste disposal facility. Chipping brush and tree stumps is an acceptable alternative. Burial on site is prohibited. The applicant must receive an Order of Conditions from the Conservation Commission, if applicable. The Board of Health recommends that all drainage be contained on site at each lot.
