Dear Mr. Shuman:
The Board of Health has reviewed the preliminary subdivision plan in West Barnstable,
and makes the following recommendations:
Each septic system shall be located within the prescribed boundaries of each individual
lot.
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.
Proposed private water supply wells shall be constructed at least 100 feet from the railroad

that underground fuel and chemical storage tanks cannot be installed or maintained on
