Planning Board
Joseph R. Reardon, Chair-man
The Board of Health wishes to express their concern in
relation to the Meetinghouse subdivision in West Barnstable.
We were pleased to hear hhat your Board is taking advantage
of the tools you have to work with in order to insure proper
protection of this village and the Town.
The Board feels in a large and concentrated development
such as this one,, we must pay even stricter attention
to the possible contamination of well water and pollution
of the streams in the area and ultimately to the marshes
into which they flow. This becomes even more important
When you remember that blis area has no public sewage
or water available.
we feel close communication and cooperation between the
Planning Board, Conservation Commission and the Board of
Health is of the utmost importance particularly in relation
to this (Meetinghouse) development and also to any future
subdivision involving marginal land so that the protection
of public health and safety to the inhabitants of the
Town of Barnstable may be sustained.

Gentlemen:
The Board of Health has not reached a final decision concerning
its recommendations for this sub-division.
Your attention is called to Section 31-U, Chapter 41,
1_assachusetts General Laws, that states there is no time limit for
Board of Health a,,aoroval o-f those sub-divisions not serviced by a
municipal sewage system.
information received by the Board indicates possible discrepancies
be'-ween the developer' s soil rezoorts and the soi 1 report arepared by
the Soil Conservation Service of the U. S. Uenartraen_ of Agriculture.
in view of these di scre-oanci es which must be clarified, and the
CLaestions of adequate set,7age, safe water supply, prober lo•4:. and road
drainage, the Board feels further study ecuired to protect the

Gentlemen:
The Board of Health disapproves this subdivision plan. Your
attention is called to sub-paragraph C. of Paragraph 41 Section IV
of the Town of Barnstable Sub-division Rules and Regulations which
states, If district sewerage is not proposed approval by the Board
of Health .of the means of sewage disposal and approval of the soil '
structure in the disposal locus"
The soil data furnished by the developer consisting of twenty-
five test pits does not prove the suitability of the soil structure
for sewage systems for the proposed 169 lots.
The four to five feet of natural pervious soil below. the
bottom of the leaching area of the disposal systems as required by
the Town of Barnstable Health Regulations and Article XI of the
State Sanitary Code, were not proven in the following observation
pits - Numbers 1,4,5,7.8,9,11,12,13 and' 25. Test pits 16,17, and
18 were considered unsuitable by the developer's engineer. Test pits
10 and 14 would not meet the Town of Barnstable's Health Regulation
concerning ground water elevation. Test pit 6 possibly would not.
Ground water determinations were made in August, 1972. Article '
Yl: of the State Sanitary Code states : "Ground water determinations
should be made during the period of the year when the ground water
is at its highest elevation. Ground water elevations are at their
highest in spring - not mid-summer.
The lots in the location of test pits 20, 3,15119y,20®21,22,23,24
could possibly meet the sewage requirements but these would have to
be proven by percolation tests, observed by the Board. Lots on sixteen
of twenty-five test pits are considered unsuitable for sewage systems
at this time,
P

{
Page 2 August 13, 1972
Other consideration in disapproving this plan are as follows :
± (1) There is no town water available. 1,7ells will be used. In
a development of this size, the-Ka is a considerable risk due to the
i soil structure and possible quifers f pollution of the wells by
the septic systems. .
(a) Public safety must be a Board of Health consideration,. In
the absence of town water, a fire in the sub-division could pose a
grave threat to the lives of the entire community.
(2) Drainage from paved roads, house gutters, etc. , could
r cause pollution of the great marsh and Barnstable Harbor (very
fragile areas) .
It is therefore the opinion of the Board that in fulfilling their
primary function to safeguard the health and well-being of' the citizens
of Barnstable, it has no choice but to disapprove this sub-division
plan at this time because of the uncertainty of soil conditions for
individual septic systems.
However, the Board will .give further consideration to the
re-submission of a plan by the developer; provided each lot is
clearly marked and staked and test holes dug and percolation tests
performed on each and every lot in the presence of an authorized
Health agent, A central well system is also recommended. The
testing of each lot'. in our opinion is necessary due to the fragility
of . this particular area and the eff t is developme U will have upon
our environment.
