1.0 Introduction
Kings Landing is an affordable housing development consisting of ten residential
buildings and a community center built in the early 1970's. The eleven buildings are
located along State Street between Underpass Road and Snow Road in Brewster and are
managed by POAH Communities.
Approval to operate the treatment plant was given by the Department of Environmental
Protection (MassDEP) on April 10, 2014. The WWTP has an approved design flow of
23,858 gallons per day (gpd) and the current average wastewater flow is approximately
10,000 gpd. The WWTP is operating under Groundwater Discharge Permit Number 934-
0. The system is comprised of the following components:
• One 24,000 gallons primary settling tank (20,000 gallons operating capacity)
• One 11,000 gallons equalization tank with aeration grid (8,000 gallons operating
capacity)
• Flow splitter box
• Two Bioclere trains consisting of Bioclere 30 & 32 units for each train
• One 846ot diameter post Bioclere lift station
• One 846ot by 10 -foot moving bed biofilm anoxic tank
• One 6,000 gallons baffled settling tank
• Two ultraviolent disinfection units
• One master distribution box
• Five group distribution boxes
• Five leaching beds with 25% spare capacity
The WWTP treated effluent discharge limits are 30 mg/L of Biochemical Oxygen
Demand (BOD), 30 mg/L of Total Suspended Solid (TSS), and 10 mg/L of Total
Nitrogen (TN).
The wastewater treatment plant was operrated by All Cape Environmental since
commissioning in 2014. As of March 3,2020, Coastal Engineering took over the
operation of the WWTP.
On Wednesday January 15, 2020 a site visit was conducted by representatives from
POAH Communities, All Cape Environmental and Horsley Witten Group (HW) to
evaluate the operating condition of the WWTP. A description of the unit processes along
with the findings of the evaluation are listed below. HW also conducted a site visit with
the new operator on March 6, 2020 to review the plant operation. The evaluation for each
process is as described below.
2.0 Unit Process Description and Evaluation
The unit processes in the treatment sequence is shown below:

Dosing to Disposal Beds -> Sludge Off -Site Disposal
The Record Drawings of the WWTP is included in Figure 1. The hydraulic profile of the
treatment processes is shown on Figure 2.
A description of the individual unit processes follows.
2.1 Primary Settling
A 20,000 -gallon working volume (24,000 gallons total volume) primary settling tank
provides capacity for buoyant and settleable materials to be separated from the
wastewater stream.
Sludge return piping from the Bioclere Units and Final Settling tank are installed at the
inlet of the primary settling tank in order to promote nitrification.
The primary settling effluent flows by gravity to the 11,000 -gallon equalization tank.
Evaluation:
At the time of the inspection, a large accumulation of wipes and floatables materials was
observed at the inlet side of the primary tank. Coastal Engineering (aka Coastal) was
planning to schedule pumping to alleviate the issue. No structural defects were observed,
inlet and outlet tees were in place.
2.2 Flow Equalization
Primary settled wastewater flows by gravity to the flow equalization tank (FET) before
being processed in the Bioclere units. The purpose of the FET is to transfer wastewater
to the Biocleres at a steady flow rate over 18-24 hrs. The FET consists of a minimum
8,000 gallon working volume (11,000 gallons total volume) tank located ahead of the
Bioclere units. The following equipment is included in the FET: 2 submersible solids
handling pumps, associated piping, slide rail assemblies, valves, float switch controls and
appurtenances.
The pumps run on a timer, with four float switches located in the FET to govern the
following functions:
1 Low-level Alarm float: The low-level alarm float acts as a redundant pump
shut off and activate an audio/visual alarm signal when the float switch is in
the extended position (open circuit).
2 Low-level float: In the extended position this float switch creates an open
circuit and prevent operation of the pumps. When the circuit is closed the
float switch allows activation of a fully adjustable timer and the pumps
Comprehensive Evaluation Report - 3 - Horsley Witten Group, lnc.
Kings Landing, Brewster MA May 26, 2020
alternate between cycles, transferring wastewater to the downstream treatment
reactor(s).
3 Mid-level float: Upon closure the mid-level float switch activates the lag
pump and the two pumps draw down the liquid in the equalization tank until
the mid level float is open. Upon this occurrence, the PLC will notify the
operator that a high-level condition has occurred and that the timer "on"
setting may need adjusting.
4 High-level Alarm float: The high-level float switch activates the audio/visual
alarm when the circuit is closed.
Timer Settings:
The FET pumps are currently set for 6 minutes of run time with 9 minutes off. The
pumps are rated at 60 gallons per minute (gpm), which is equivalent to 34,560 gallons per
day. This is the factory recommended settings and includes a 75% recycle rate.
Evaluation:
Both flow equalization pumps were in operation during the inspection and no issues with
the pumps, slide rails, piping or electrical connections were observed. No modifications
are recommended for this process.
2.3 Biological Treatment
Two parallel trains of two mode130/32 Bioclere units operated in series. Each Bioclere
consists of a trickling filter that is situated over a secondary clarifier (settling tank). The
Bioclere is manufactured with inner and outer fiberglass skins. The cavity between is
fiRed with polyurethane foam insulation for heat retention and maximum treatment
efficiency.
As wastewater is generated it flows by g�avity through the primary sett
ling tank and into
the FET for timed dosing to the Bioclere system. Wastewater is pumped subsequently to
the center baffled chamber in the first stage Bioclere clarifier. Duplex alternating
stainless steel submersible pumps situated in the center baffle dose the wastewater to the
trickling filter media bed. In case of one pump failure, the second pump automatically
takes over both dosing cycles. Dosing is controlled using a fully adjustable timer and
wastewater is uniformly distributed over the entire surface area of the filter by means of
fixed nozzles constructed of nylon. Each Bioclere contains a PVC dosing array and
nozzles centered above the filter media to ensure uniform dosing. (see Bioclere
Schematic and Bioclere dosing Array).

Kings Landing, Brewster MA May 26, 2020
BIQCLERErM
Biological Fan Box
Bioclere Schematic
Recirculation of secondary sludge and wastewater is accomplished in each unit using a
submersible stainless steel pump controlled by a fully adjustable timer. The pump is
located on the bottom of the cone shaped clarifier tank. The diameter of each settling
tank is 10 feet with 60 -degree sloping sides. Internal baffling is provided in the
secondary clarifier tank to prevent short-circuiting of wastewater and biological solids.
The biological solids generated in the filter are returned to the primary tank at regular
intervals. The Bioclere recycle pumps in the lead units (#1 and unit #3) of each train run
at a 8 minutes ON / 60 minutes OFF the polishing units (#2 and 44) run at 6 minutes ON /
60 minutes OFF (360 gallons per 66 mikn cycle).
The filter media consists of manufactured PVC randomly packed corrugated cylinders. It
has a void ratio of >95%, is UV resistant, and resistant to a wide range of aqueous
solutions, acids, alkalis, oxidizing agents, oils, fats and alcohols. Media in the first and
second stage Bioclere units will have specific surface areas of 140 in /in' and 230 m2/m3
respectively.

Bioclere
Randomly Packed PVC Media
Forced air ventilation is provided in the Bioclere since it is a covered trickling filter.
Each Bioclere contains an axial VV an airflow capacity of 158 cubic feet per minute
(cfm). The fan is exposed to the atmosphere due to its enclosure location on top of the
Bioclere. Air flows subsequently through the filter, under drain, and is discharged
through the effluent pipe. A PVC vent is installed after each Bioclere. The Bioclere
dosing pumps are controlled by a timer set for all units at 10 minutes ON / 2 minutes
OFF.
Evaluation:
During the inspection dosing and recycle pumps for each of the four Bioclere units was
tested. It was determined that dosing pump 2 in unit 2 and dosing pump 1 in unit 3 were
not functioning. All recycle and fan units were operating properly. Biological growth on
the media was not robust. Since Coastal has begun operation the biomass in the Bioclere
units has improved. Based on previous experience in other WWTP similar to this,
Coastal has adjusted the recycle pumps in the lead Bioclere units (#1 and #3) to 3 minutes
ON / 30 minutes OFF and the polishing units (#2 and #4) to 4 minutes ON / 30 minutes
OFF.
Comprehensive Evaluation Report - 6 - Horsley Witten Group, Inc.
Kings Landing, Brewster MA May 26, 2020
Alkalinity Feed System.
The Alkalinity chemical feed system is located in the control building. The system is
comprised of a feed pump equipped with a variable speed drive that can be set to deliver
0-60 milliliters per minute. The alkalinity source, Sodium Bicarbonate, is transferred
automatically based on a timer in the control panel.
A 1.5" diameter PVC chemical dosing conduit is installed from the chemical dosing point
to the FET.
Evaluation:
The alkalinity feed system was not being used by the previous operator. Coastal has
begun alkalinity feed to the system at a rate of 45 milliliters per minute on the feed pump
which equates to 150 gallons per week and fifty pounds of sodium bicarbonate. Since
activating the alkalinity feed the pH has come up to the middle 7's and growth in the
Bioclere units has improved.
2.4 Post Bioclere Lift Station
The post Bioclere lift station transfers nitrified effluent to the moving bed anoxic zone.
The following equipment is included in this tank: 2 submersible pumps, associated
piping, slide rail assemblies, valves, float switch controls and appurtenances. During
feed pump operation an electrical signal energizes a peristaltic carbon feed pump and a
specifled amount of carbon will be pumped into the anoxic zone inlet tee.
The pumps run on a timer, with four float switches located in the tank to govern the
following functions:
1. Low-level Alarm float: T�e low-level alarm fl
oat acts as a redundant
pump shut off and activates an audio/visual alarm signal when the float switch is
in the extended position (open circuit).
2. Low-level float: In the extended position this float switch acts as a pump
shut off.
3. Mid-level float: Upon closure a lift station pump shall transfer wastewater
to the downstream treatment reactor.
4. High-level fl
oat: The high-level float activates both pumps which will
draw down the liquid in the tank until the low-level float switch is open. Upon
this occurrence, a counter is triggered to alert the operator the number of high
level float activations that has occurred. The high-level float switch shall also
activate the audio/visual alarm when the circuit is closed.
Comprehensive Evaluation Report - 7 - Horsley Witten Group, Inc.
Kings Landing, Brewster MA May 26, 2020
Evaluation:
During the inspection the dosing pumps and alarm were tested and functioning properly.
The integrity of the precast tank, pumps, slide rails, piping, floats and electrical
connections appeared to be ok. No modifications are recommended for this process.
2.5 Moving Bed Biofilm Anoxic Zone (Tertiary Denitrification)
The proposed anoxic zone provides a suitable environment to initiate tertiary biological
denitrification. As a Lift Station pump transfers Bioclere effluent to the tertiary anoxic
zone, a peristaltic feed pump energizes to deliver an external carbon source into the
influent tee of the anoxic filter. The external carbon source is used as a food source to
initiate the denitrification reaction. A specified amount of external carbon based on the
actual daily flow and concentration of nitrate in the waste stream is pumped to the inlet
tee of the anoxic zone. The anoxic zone is housed in a 3,800 gallon square tank with
INSIDE dimensions of 8' Square x 8' side water depth, 10' over all height.
One 1.5 HP top mounted mechanical mixer with a 44" diameter rubber coated impelle
circulates water and high density polyethylene (HDPE) AquaCELLTM 466 biofilm carrier
media evenly through the tank, ensuring contact of the carbon source, nitrate and
bacteria. Operation of the mixer and the chemical feed pump is automatic and fully
adjustable using variable frequency drives. The mixer has a maximum RPM of 70 and a
maximum tip speed of 12 ft/s to prevent degradation of the biofilm carrier elements.
Audio/visual alarms are installed to detect mixer failure.
The randomly packed HDPE media in the filter has an internal protected specific surface
area of 4661.11 0 The total media volume within the anoxic tank is 4.0 m3 (141 ft3),
which represents a 28% fill fraction. Note that only the internal surface area of the media
is available for biomass growth. This is because the media is completely mixed in the
anoxic tank and the outside media surfacfs are scoured of biomass as the carriers collide.
The media is retained in the anoxic basin by a 6" dia x 36" long S.S. wedgewire media
retention screen. The screen is designed to allow < 1" head loss through the reactor.
Available media surface area for biomass growth: 4 m3 * (466 mZ/m3) = 19
864m2
The determination of the required media volume is conservative and assumes an influent
nitrate N concentration to the anoxic zone of 15 mg/L due to denitrification in the
primary tank. This translates to 3.0 lbs NO3-N/day (1,362 grams NO3-N/day).
_ (24.000 gpd * 8.34 (lbs./gal) * 15 mg/L)
1*106
= 3.0 lbs. Nitrate-N/day (1,362 grams)
This equates to a maximum nitrate media loading rate of approximately 0.73 (grams
NO3-N/m2/day).
Comprehensive Evaluation Report

Kings Landing, Brewster MA May 26, 2020
= 1,362 grams / 1,604M
= 0.73 grams 1403-N/mZ media.
Hydraulic Retention Time (HR7V:
The Anoxic MBBR's HRT is affected by the volume of HDPE present in the biofilm
carriers and in turn the volume of water displaced by the HDPE. AquaCELL466 media
provides roughly 75% open space meaning 25% of a basin's capacity is lost at a 100%
fill fraction. Using a 28% media fill fraction the Anoxic MBBR's HRT will be 3.53 hrs.
_ (3,800 gallons) / (24,000 gallons/day) * 24
= 3.8 hours
= 3.8 hrs -((3,800 gal * 0.25 open space * 0.28 fill fraction) / 24,000 gpd*24 hrs)
= 3.53 hours after accounting for media displacement
The loading rate and hydraulic retention time is based on actual anoxic zone operating
experience in states like New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and North
Carolina and data reported by the references listed below. Post anoxic reactors using 20%
methanol or other supplemental carbon sources have been documented to achieve 1.15
grams/ml/day removal rates at < 10 degrees C.
The anoxic zone requires relatively little maintenance and supervision. The main task
includes monitoring and logging of the flow readings and external carbon source usage.
After processing in the anoxic filter, effluent will flow through a 6,000 gallon baffled
three compartment tank. Stage # 1 and 2 will be used for re -aeration and settling and
stage # 3 will serve as a UV disinfection lift station. Each chamber is 2,000 gal. Because
the water level in the third chamber wilLfluctuate, the tank walls are hydrostatic. The
aerators in the first compartment of the tank are controlled by timer and are set for 15
minutes ON and 10 minutes OFF. The sludge return pump located in the second
compartment of the baffled tank is also rum by timer and is currently set to run at 7
minutes ON and 10 minutes OFF. The UV dosing pumps in the thid compartment of the
tank are set.
MicroCT"" ora 20%
Methanol solution is used as the carbon source for the denitrification
process. The chemical is shipped in 55 -gallon drums and stored on a spill containment
platform, with 20% spill capacity, suitable for four drums with a Neptune PZ metering
pump mounted on a shelf near the drums.
Evaluation:
The anoxic mixer is currently set to run for 5 minutes per day at the lowest speed setting.
Coastal is working with POAH and Aquapoint, the system supplier, to replace the media
Comprehensive Evaluation Report - 9 - Horsley Witt
en Group, Inc.
Kings Landing, Brewster MA May 26, 2020
in the anoxic zone. Some of the media have been degrading and braking into pieces and
carrying over into the baffled settling tank and UV disinfection system. These carryovers
have been observed downstream of the UV dosing pumps and UV system that needs to
be removed.
Coastal has adjusted the aeration timer in the first compartment of the baffled tank to 10
minutes ON and 10 minutes OFF due to the minimal amount of methanol being fed into
the system.
Prior to Coastal taking over operation of the WWTP, the methanol feed had not been
used and was not working properly. Coastal has repaired the metering pump and has
begun to dose the 20% methanol solution to the system. The methanol feed is being
adjusted on a daily basis based on operator's review of plant performance.
2.6 Ultraviolet Disinfection System
Dual Hallet H-30 model self cleaning UV disinfection units in parallel will be supplied to
reduce fecal coliform levels to <200 MPN /100 milliliters. Each unit is rated at 27 gpm
designed to treat a total of 38,880 gallons per day. Together their total capacity is 54 gpm
which is in excess of the design peaking factor of (2x) or 33.3 gpm given the
implementation of EQ. Each unit will deliver a UV dose of 30 mJ/cm2 at a minimum
water UV transmittance of 65%, after reduction for quartz sleeve absorption, sleeve
fouling and end of lamp life. Each unit will be designed with an optimum wave length of
254 nm to inactivate microorganisms for proper disinfection.
The UV disinfection system has been designed based on calculations as outlined in the
EPA design manual and is designed to provide a maximum dosage using low-pressure
high output technology at peak flow at the end of lamp life. The system will provide >
43,000 uWs/ at end of lamp life. This ensures that the unit will be capable of meeting
and exceeding dosage requirements throughout its lifespan.
Each unit contains dual UV bulbs. Wastelwater passes through an internal quartz sleeve
which contains a wiper blade for automatic cleaning of the quartz sleeve.
Evaluation:
Coastal has been monitoring the UV intensity and changing out bulbs as necessary. Due
to carryover of the media from the anoxic reactor as previously discussed, UV bulb life
has not been as extensive as expected.
2.7 Effluent Disposal
From the UV disinfection system, treated effluent will flow by gravity to the master
distribution box for flow distribution to the five group distribution boxes. Valves located
on the master distribution box will allow the operator to alternate between the four active
and one reserve disposal trench groups.
Comprehensive Evaluation Report - 10 - Horsley Witten Group, Inc.
Kings Landing, Brewster MA May 26, 2020
The effluent disposal system will consist of five groups of high-density polyethylene
(HDPE) chambers surrounded in stone aggregate and arranged in parallel trench
configuration. Each group will consist of nine trenches, spaced four feet apart, and each
two feet wide, two feet deep, and just over 44 feet long. Four of the five groups would be
active at any time. The groups will cycle through active and rest periods to extend the
useful life of the facility and act as emergency reserve. The emergency reserve is capable
of treating 25% of the design flow, or approximately 6,120 gpd.
Evaluation:
Due to the carryover of media from the anoxic zone, some carryover has been observed
in the distribution boxes for the effluent leaching field. Once the new media has been
installed, any media carryover will be removed from the distribution boxes to prevent
migration to the underground leaching chambers.

An emergency backup generator and automatic transfer switch will be provided to enable
continuous operation during loss of power.
Evaluation:
During the inspection, power was shutoff to the WWTP and the system was observed
operating on backup power.
2.9 Treatment Building
A 15 ft. x 18 ft. control building located adjacent to the treatment system will be provided
to house the mechanical and electrical equipment, chemical storage, tertiary sand filter,
UV system, alarm monitoring system, restroom, and system operator work area. Control
panels for all newly installed equipment will also be provided in the control building. A
Mission alarm monitoring system will be installed to provide notification to the operator
when an alarm occurs.
The following is a list of spare part
s for the wastewater treatment system that are kept
onsite in the control room:
Comprehensive Evaluation Report - 11 - Horsley Witten Group, Inc.
Kings Landing, Brewster MA May 26, 2020
• Several spare recycle and equalization pumps
• Spare UV lamp kit
• Anoxic mixer motor
3.0 Proposed Modifications and Action Plan
After taking over the WWTP in March 2020, Coastal has reset most of the system
settings back to manufacturer's recommendation to create baseline for their operation.
The pilot recycle system that was previously reviewed and approved by MassDEP in
March 2019 has been placed offline. Alkalinity feed has been introduced and the
supplemental carbon feed system is back online and being integrated at the operator's
discretion based on need. Overall, biomass growth in the Bioclere units has improved,
however, there are still signs that full nitrification is not taking place.
To completely reset the WWTP, the media in the anoxic zone should be replaced.
POAH, Coastal and the Equipment supplier, Aquapoint, are currently working to
complete the purchase and installation of the new media. The anticipated installation is
expected to be complete within the next 4 months.
Based on discussions with the operator, HW recommends reintroducing the previously
permitted aeration system that was installed in the equalization tank in 2016. The design
details are attached. The system will provide an aerated environment ahead of the
Bioclere units to reduce Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Quaternary Ammonia
Compounds (QAC) and promote additional nitrification in the system. The original
aeration system that was installed stopped working after approximately 1 year of
operation and was never placed back into operation. Over the next 4 months the
previously installed aeration equipment will be reviewed, and it will be determined what
equipment can be reused and if new equipment will be needed. After review, the
equipment will be reinstalled in the equalization tank. HW recommends monitoring the
system for two months after installation is complete to evaluate performance based on the
permit requirements. The overall schedule is estimated to be 6 months (4 months for
implementation and 2 months of monitoring).
Considering the current environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic an
d the
majority of residents staying home and more disinfection products are used, the operator
has noticed a change in waste stream strength. Considering the change in waste stream, it
may take longer than anticipated to see improvements depending how long it takes to see
a consistent and normal waste stream.

Re: Kings Landing Wastewater Treatment Plant -Pilot Test Proposal
Dear Mr. Dudley:
On behalf of the Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH), the Horsley Witten Group Inc. (HW) and
AquaPoint (AP) have worked together in preparing this pilot test proposal to determine the effectiveness
of additional aeration to reduce the amount of Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (QAC) in the
wastewater flow prior to biological treatment.
Background:
Quaternary Ammonia Compounds (QAC) have been commonly used in many consumer products, such as
disinfectant, kitchen cleaning products, shampoos, hair conditioners, and hand sanitizers. The presence
of QAC is known to have an effect on the nitrifying bacteria (1). HW encountered a similar situation at
the Pinehills Private Sewer Facility (PSTF) where the damage to the nitrifying bacteria population was
limited by providing additional aeration before the biological treatment process. Therefore, we are
proposing a similar solution at Kings Landing.
Propose Protocol:
Based on the plant layout, we determined that the best location for the aeration grid would be inside the
equalization (EQ) tank which is located after the24,000 gallon septic tank, as shown on sheet C-16
attached. AP and HW had a lengthy discussion on how to install an aeration manifold through the
existing access hatch on the EQ tank. AP also field verified the existing conditions at the hatch and riser
section prior to the design of the aeration manifold. As a result, AP has prepared the attached sketch,
sheet 1, showing the proposed aeration manifold to be installed in the existing EQ tank without entering
the tank. In addition, AP proposes to use two Sweetwater model SL490 compressors (see cut sheet for
SL 190), which are capable of providing approximately 12 to 18 scfin to the EQ tank. The amount of air
can be adjusted by controlling the timer on the compressors.
As for the monitoring parameters, HW and AP suggest measuring the pH, Dissolved Oxygen an
d QAC
daily (5 days per week) from the influent and effluent of the EQ tank for comparison. The laboratory
tests will be conducted on site using bench top equipment. We will collect the background data for a
week before adding oxygen to the tank. Then we will start adding the oxygen to the EQ tank, and will
review the laboratory data and adjust the air supply for a second setting for the next test as needed.
&. Brian Dudley
July 20, 2016
Page 2 of 2
At the end of the testing period, HW and AP will prepare a test report discussing the finding and
recommending a possible change to the treatment process.
Please review the above propose protocol and let me know if you have any comments on the proposal.
We have received approval from POAH to proceed with the pilot testing contingent on MassDEP
approval.
Sincerely,
HORSLEY WTTTEN GROUP, INC.

RE: Variance Request -Lapidus Residence

Map 58, Parcel 44
Dear Board Members:
Job # 8014
. Pt � 11- ...'UW. Lop
DEP e-� R"I{Jf[=i`IT
On behalf of our client, David Lapidus, J.M. O'REILLY &ASSOCIATES, INC. requests the Brewster Board of
Health review and grant the following Variances to the State and Town of Brewster Sanitary regulations
for the proposed installation of a Title 5 Sewage Disposal System to serve the reconstructed single family
dwelling at the above referenced property.
On December 10, 2018, the Brewster Board of Health reviewed and approved the proposed project
along with the variances currently being re -requested with this application. Due to several reasons, the
project was delayed and the approval from the Board of Health has lapsed. The project has not changed
from when the previous Board approved the variances. The following is the narrative that was
presented to the Board back in 2018.
The project proposes to tear down the existing four (4) bedroom dwelling and replacing it with a new
four (4) bedroom dwelling. The existing dwelling is serviced by a sewage system with an approved
capacity of the four bedrooms. The existing sewage system consists of a 1000 gallon septic tank and a
14'x6' leach pit. The pit was designed and installed in 1992 and was installed so as to meet the 4 foot
separation to high groundwater.
The proposed sewage system consists of a 1500 gallon septic tank and a new leaching chamber. The
chamber will provide a 9 foot separation to the high groundwater. Due to the sizing requirements and
the location of a coastal dune, the sewage system will require variances from the state regulations, Title
5 and Brewster's sanitary Regulations. The proposed leaching facility, similar to the existing leach pit, is
greater than 100 feet from mean high water line of Cape Cod bay.
The following are the variances being requested from Title 5 and the Town of Brewster Regulations:
VARIANCES: 310 CMR 15.211 (Setbacks)
1.) Soil Absorption System not 10' from Property Line;
2.) Soil Absorption System not 20' from cellar wall;
3.) Septic Tank not 10' from Property Line;
4.) Septic Tank not 10' from cellar wall;
6.5' held 3.5'variance
6' held 14'variance
7' held 3' variance
8' held 2' variance

WWW.JMOREILLYASSOC.COM
LOCAL REGULATIONS:
5.) SAS is not 100 feet from wetland resource (Dune); 25' held75' variance
The variances being sought are a result of the minimal room available for a sewage system given the
location of the proposed footprint of the building and the location of the wetland resources for the
property. The proposed location of the leaching facility maximizes the environmental setbacks to the
wetland resources. The proposed location also improves the horizontal and vertical setback to the
wetlands and groundwater.
The proposed sewage system will serve the reconstructed dwelling, which will replace the existing
dwelling. The proposal does not propose any increase of the approved sewage flow for the property.
The existing dwelling is an approved 4 bedroom dwelling which will be replaced with a proposed 4
bedroom dwelling. Under Title 5 and the Brewster Sanitary Regulations, the proposal is NOT "new
construction" and should be viewed as a repair/upgrade.
The requested variances are required given the proposed building footprint and the locations of the
wetland resources. The proposed building footprint matches the existing footprint in the area of the
proposed leaching facility. Conservation Commission and Zoning setback requirements do not allow for
the new footprint to be pushed away from the proposed leaching facility location.
It is the opinion of J.M. O'REILLY &ASSOCIATES, INC the variances being requested can be granted by
the Board of Health, with conditions. The proposed variances associated with the new sewage system
results in the improvement of the groundwater and wetland setbacks from the current sewage system.
Under the Brewster Variance Regulations, Section 3.2, the variances can be granted since this is a
sewage system upgrade to serve a dwelling with no expansion of flow.
The Brewster Regulations Section 3.2(B)i & ii: The proposed variances improves an existing condition as
iL relates to the setbacks to the groundwater and resources. The existing system appears to be in
functioning order for the current 4 bedroom use. The proposed system would increase the
environmental setbacks for the reconstructed 4 bedroom dwelling. There is no expansion of flow
proposed.

of Compliance. In the case of stormwater BMPs that are serving more than one lot, the
legally binding agreement shall also identify the lots that will be serviced by the stormwater
BMPs. A plan and easement deed that grants the responsible party access to perform the
required operation and maintenance must be submitted along with the legally binding
agreement.
f) The responsible party shall operate and maintain all stormwater BMPs in accordance
with the design plans, the O&M Plan, and the requirements of the Massachusetts
stormwater Handbook.

Brewster Wetlands Protection By-law (BWP By-law)
Project Description: The Notice of Intent proposes to demolish an existing single family
dwelling and construct a new dwelling and retaining wall, to upgrade a septic system, to install
native plantings, and the maintenance of snow fencing on and within 50 and 100 feet of coastal
wetland resources.
Resource Area Identification:
The Conservation Commission does not confirm the resource area boundaries as shown on the
plan. Due to changing site conditions the resource area boundaries are not confirmed, however,
the resources are confirmed as Coastal Beach, Coastal Dune, Coastal Bank, and Land Subject to
Coastal Storm Flowage. The Commission finds that the elevated coastal resource area is a
coastal bank. The artificial coastal dune deposits meet the definition of coastal dune.
The affected resource areas under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (M.G.L. Ch.131, §
40) are Coastal Beach (310 CMR 10.27), Coastal Dune (310 CMR 10.28), Coastal Bank k.3 10
CMR 10.30), and Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage.
The affected resource areas under the Brewster Wetlands Protection By-law (Chapter 172) are
Coastal Beach (Brewster Wetland Regulations 2.02), Coastal Dune (Brewster Wetland
Regulations 2.03), Coastal Bank (Brewster Wetlands Regulations 2.05), and Land Subject to

Lapidus, 115 The Tides Court, Order of Conditions SE 9-1793 Findings/ Special Conditions 1
Findings under Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and Wetland Regulations:
Coastal Beach, 310 CMR 10.27(3): Portions of the proposed project occur on and within 50 and
100 feet of a Coastal Beach. The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that the coastal beach
is significant to storm damage prevention, flood control, and protection of wildlife habitat. The
Commission finds that the work can be conditioned so it will not have an adverse effect by
increasing erosion, decreasing the volume or changing the form of the coastal beach or an
adjacent or downdrift coastal beach.
Coastal Dune, 310 CMR 10.28 (3) (5): Portions of the proposed project occur within 50 and 100
feet of a Coastal Dune. The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that the coastal dune is
significant to storm damage prevention and flood control. The Brewster Conservation Commission
finds that the proposal can be conditioned so that it will not have an adverse effect on a coastal
dune by affecting the ability of waves to remove sand from the dune; by disturbing the vegetative
cover so as to destabilize the dune; by causing any modification of the dune form that would
increase the potential for storm or flood damage; or by causing removal of sand from the dune
artificially. See Special Conditions below.
Coastal Bank, 310 CMR 10.30(6): Portions of the proposed project occur within 50 feet and 100
feet of a Coastal Bank. The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that the coastal bank is
significant to storm damage prevention and flood control because it is a vertical buffer to storm
waters. The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that the proposed work can be conditioned
so that it has no adverse effects on the stability of the coastal bank. See special conditions below.
Findings under Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaw and Wetlands Regulations:
The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that the project can be conditioned to comply with
the Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaw and Regulations. See Special Conditions below.
Portions of the proposed work are on and within 50 and 100 feet of a Coastal Beach, Coastal
Dune, Coastal Bank, and Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage.
Sections 2.02(3), 2.03(3) and 2.05(2) of the Brewster Wetlands Protection Regulations all require
a variance from the regulations granted pursuant to Section 5.01 of the regulations.
A variance maybe granted only for the following reasons and upon the following conditions:
a) 7) mitigating measures are proposed that will allow the project to be conditioned
so that it contributes to the protection of the resource values identified in the
Wetlands Bylaw; and
2) the Conservation Commission finds no reasonable alternative for such a project
within the proposed site; and
3) there will be no adverse impact from the proposed project,' or
b) that the project is necessary
to accommodate an overriding public interest or that
itis necessary to avoid a decision that so restricts the use of property that if
constitutes an unconstitutional taking without compensation.
The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that mitigating measures have been proposed that
will allow the project to be conditioned so that it contributes to the protection of the resource values
identified in the Wetlands Bylaw. The mitigating measures include erosion control measures and
planting of native species.
Lapidus, 115 The Tides Court, Order of Conditions SE 9-1793 Findings/ Special Conditions 2
Alternatives were addressed by John O'Reilly of J. M. O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. The
Conservation Commission finds that the proposed project is a reasonable alternative.
The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that the project can be conditioned so there are no
adverse impacts from the proposed project to the interests protected by the Brewster Wetlands
Protection By-law.
The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that variance criteria b), "that the project is
necessary to accommodate an overriding public interest or that it is necessary to avoid a decision
that so restricts the use of property that it constitutes an unconstitutional taking without
compensation, "does not apply to this project.
For the above stated reasons, the Conservation Commission grants a variance to Sections
2.02(3), 2.02(3), and 2.05(2) of the Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaw Regulations.
Coastal Beach, 2.02(3): Portions of the proposed project occur on and within 50 and 100 feet of a
Coastal Beach. The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that the coastal beach is significant
to wildlife, storm damage prevention and flood control. The Brewster Conservation Commission
finds that the proposed project can be allowed under a variance from the regulations pursuant to
section 5.01. See variance findings above.
Coastal Dunes, 2.03(3)(4)(5): Portions of the proposed project occur within 50 and 100 feet of a
Coastal Dune. The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that the coastal dune is significant to
storm damage prevention and flood control. The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that
the proposed project can be allowed under a variance from the regulations pursuant to section
5.01. The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that the proposal can be conditioned so that it
will not have an adverse effect on a coastal dune by affecting the ability of waves to remove sand
from the dune; by disturbing the vegetative cover so as to destabilize the dune; by causing any
modification of the dune form that would increase the potential for storm or flood damage; or by
causing removal of sand from the dune artificially. See Special Conditions below.
Coastal Banks, 2.05(2) (3): Portions of the proposed project occur within 50 and 100 feet of a
Coastal Bank. The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that coastal banks provide
significant storm damage prevention and flood control through the supply of sediment to coastal
beaches, coastal dunes and barrier beaches. The Brewster Conservation Commission also finds
that coastal banks provide significant protection to upland areas from storm damage and flooding.
The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that the proposal can be conditioned so that it will
not have an adverse effect on the coastal bank.
Special Conditions under the Mass. Wetlands Protection Act and Wetlands
Regulations and under the Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaw and Wetlands

RE: Chillingsworth Trash Receptacle _
Dear Mr. Rabin,
Health Department
Amy L. von Hone, R.S., C.H.O.
Director
Sherrie McCullough, R.S.
Assistant Director
Tammi Mason
Senior Department Assistant
On June 3, 2020, the Brewster Health Department received another complaint regarding the offending
odors coming from your trash receptacle. A site inspection was conducted that afternoon. The receptacle
lid was found closed and it was not overflowing however, an odor of garbage was detected. As part of
my inspection I visited the complainant's home. I did detect an odor of garbage in their back yard.
In addition, piles of discarded equipment and other objects remain littered about the area. During a site
visit last fall for a similar complaint, you were asked to clean up the items surrounding the receptacle.
To date this has not been done.
As this has been a reoccurring complaint you are being asked to appear before the Brewster Board of
Health at their next scheduled virtual meeting, Wednesday, July 1, 2020, at 7:00 p.me to discuss these
issues. Instructions will be forwarded to you on how to join the meeting.
Please confirm the date and time with this office at (508) 896-3701 ext 1120.
Sincerely,
Sherrie McCullough R.S.
Assistant Health Director
Town of Brewster

Subject: Chillingsworth smell
Attachments: IMG_0718 jpg; IMG_0717 jpg
TO: Brewster Board of Health
Today is the first warm day of the spring
/summer. The odor from Chillingsworth today reminded us of
our efforts to have them moved their dumpster to another location on their 3 acre+ property, rather
than 20 feet from our property line.
Over the years we have been forced to close our windows and not sit on our back porch due to the
reckless and and unhealthy smell from their dumpsters and surrounding area.
We have complained to the town repeatedly. When we do it via phone, someone from the Board of
Health calls the restaurant and asks permission to view the site. (We watch from our back window) as
one of the Rabins run outside to make sure the top on the dumpsters is down. If it's not, they
immediately put it down. Soon a representative from the BOH shows up and previews the scene.
Invariably, they decide the odor is not bothersome (?) W,,L Jo nib cko vt(+
We have appeared before the BOH many times filing formal complaints. Each time Mr. Rabin denies
there is any odor. The last time we appeared before the BOH is was decided that next time we
complained the town would require Chillingsworth to move their dumpster to the other side of their
property. fi5� frt bt4VL 11u 6AI II�b- C(%LLO5 IvrtvL DcalvLAIT
As we all know maintaining a healthy environment—especially now with the Covid19 p andemmc�is
important to the health of our community. Public restaurants should be required to set a healtgy
example. Clearly Chillingsworth has not and (it appears) will not.
� We beg beg the BOH's understanding of our plight and that you demand Chillingsworth move their ►mq
dumsters asap.
Attached are three photos
-taken from our property line.
Respectfully submitted,
Dwight and JoAnn Ritter.

the top was open. There were boxes and crates of wine bottles on the side of the dumpster. She stated that
she spoke with the owner who stated the dumpster was emptied on 7/16/2004 and that it is emptied once
weekly and as needed throughout the week. The owner also has a hose with hot water near the dumpster and
once it is emptied he pours bleach inside and on concrete platform.

can.

around it

1. Chairman's announcements
None
2. Citizen's Forum
There was no one remotely participating but Mrs. von Hone stated that she had received an email that had been sent to
the Barnstable Health Department regarding reusable plastic bags. She stated that the small stores that are located in
Brewster are not using the reusable bags. They are using plastic bags that the Governor allowed in his order.
3. J.C. Ellis Design Co., Inc. —State and Local variance requests for 60 Cedar Hill Road- Patricia &James Law
Mr. Ellis stated that this is currently a three bedroom dwelling which is serviced by two cesspools. Conservation
Commission has approved this. He is asking for the following variances:
1. To allow the SAS to be 7' from the foundation
2. To allow the SAS to be 5' from the lot line
3. To allow the septic tank to be 5' from the lot line
4. To allow the pump chamber to be 6' from the lot line
5. To allow no reserve area
6. To allow the SAS to be 60' from the top of the coastal bank
Mrs. Graczewski stated that she thought this was a significant improvement and believes it is designed in the best spot.
She did ask if the installer would be using schedule 40. Mr. Ellis stated that he would be.
Mr. Dinwiddie stated that it is clear from the plan that there is not a lot of room and feels it is being designed in the right
spot.
BOH 4/1/2020 Minutes Page 2
Motion: Finding that this is an improvement over what is there and there is limited space on the lot, approve the
variances requested on the septic plan dated 3/13/2020.
Motion: Joe Ford Second. Carmen Scherzo Vote: Annette Graczewski —yes
Carmen Scherzo- yes
Joe Ford — yes
Penny Hausser Holeman — yes
Lucas Dinwiddie —yes
Action. Motion carried
4. Consent agenda- 345 Holly Avenue -Matt &John Anderson -Miller -Title 5 inspection, 300' pond setback
variance request
Dr. Scherzo stated that he disagrees with the director on groundwater flow. He believes that it is going north towards CC
Bay and thinks that this should have come before the whole Board for the variance request.
Mrs. von Hone stated that in reviewing the Real Estate Transfer inspection, the SAS was closer than 300' to the pond.
Looking at the water table map for Brewster/Harwich, it appears that the groundwater flow is going in a northerly
direction towards CC Bay and also going in an easterly direction. The Health Department's determination was based on
the way the property and septic system were situated. They felt that the flow was more downgradient than up gradient. It
was determined that the bottom of the leaching to groundwater was 29.5 feet.
Mrs. Graczewski asked if Mrs. von Hone and Dr. Scherzo were looking at different maps. Mrs. von Hone stated that the
only thing she could think of was that Dr. Scherzo was looking at the Horsley Witten maps that have not been
incorporated into the Board of Health regulations yet. Dr. Scherzo stated that he believed that the Board had
used/recognized these maps before and that he is very concerned with phosphorus getting into the pond.
Mrs. Graczewski believes that there is a difference of opinion between Mrs. von Hone and Dr. Scherzo. Mr. Dinwiddie
stated that unless this was a pressing matter maybe the Board could continue it and do some more research. Mrs. von
Hone stated the owner has already received the written approval from the office. She also noted that the home is used
seasonally and is 170' from the pond and that the d -box was replaced as part of the inspection.
Ms. Hausser Holeman stated that she thinks it would be helpful if the Board could have a discussion on this issues in the
future.
Mr. Ford stated that he was comfortable with the variance having been issued by the Health Director.
Motion: Finding that the system is functional and there is a 29' separation to the pond vertically and 170' horizontally,
approve the consent agenda for 345 Holly Avenue. Variance applied for on 3/17/2020 and approved on 3/24/2020.
Motion: Joe Ford Second: Lucas Dinwiddie Vote: Annette Graczewski — yes Action: Motion carried
Carmen Scherzo — no
Joe Ford —yes
Penny Hausser Holeman — yes
Lucas Dinwiddie — yes
5. Discuss and vote Authorization of Agent of the Board of Health
This is related to the current public health emergency. This document would give Mrs. von Hone the authority to act for
the Board of Health with regards to urgent matters due to the emergency.
BOH 4/1/2020 Minutes Page 3
Mrs. von Hone mentioned specific examples like closing the playgrounds or golf courses. If this needed to be done
quickly this would give her the authority to do that without having to wait for the Board to meet. Massachusetts General
Law Chapter 111, Section 30 allows the Board of Health to appoint an agent in the event of an emergency.
Mrs. McCullough stated that this is also listed in the Town's COOP plan.
Ms. Hausser Holeman thinks that this would be an appropriate thing to do in light of what is going on.
Dr. Scherzo asked if the Select Board had given the Town Administrator this authority. Mrs. Graczewski stated that she
had not asked that question.
Dr. Chaffee stated that there were several instances where the Town Administrator had to make quick decisions on the
Select Board's behalf. However, most decisions that have been made have come before the Select Board.
Dr. Scherzo stated that he didn't want to relinquish the Board's authority to make decisions by authorizing this and that
the Health Director should be checking with the Chair with regards to decisions.
Mrs. Graczewski stated that the Board would not be relinquishing their authority, just giving authority to the Health
Director in case of an emergency. She also stated that the she is in constant contact with Mrs. von Hone and that she is
part of most of the calls and receives the guidance documents.
Motion: Authorize the Health Director to act in place of the Board of Health in emergency situation.
Motion: Penny Hausser Holeman Second: Joe Ford Vote: Annette Graczewski — yes Action: Motion carried
Carmen Scherzo —yes
Joe Ford — yes
Penny Hausser Holeman — yes
Lucas Dinwiddie - yes
6. COVID-19 Discussion and update
Mrs. Graczewski stated that as of 4:OOPM today, the State of Massachusetts reported 7,738 positive cases including 255 in
Barnstable County. We currently have 9 confirmed cases in Brewster. State and County statistics are updated daily on the
DPH website and we will provide updated local information as it becomes available. Presently all Town buildings remain
closed to the public, but all departments continue to work remotely and provide services on a limited basis. Please visit
the Town of Brewster website for instructions and contact information.
On March 23, 2020, Governor Baker issued an order designating essential services and temporarily closed businesses that
are not designated as not providing those essential services. In addition, he prohibited gatherings of more than 10
people. Yesterday, March 31, 2020, the Governor extended his order to May 4, 2020 and also designated some additional
essential services and functions that were deemed necessary to promote public health and wellness in the commonwealth.
He also continued to discourage any large group gatherings and encouraged continued social distancing. That March 31,
2020 order became effective today, April 1, 2020. Consistent with the Governors order, guidance issued by Commissioner
Bharel from MDPH on March 24, 2020 strongly urges individuals to stay at home with the exception of essential trips, such
as food and medicine and also getting some time for exercise and fresh air.
Residents of Brewster are strongly encouraged to avoid unnecessary
travel. Town facilities, including all our playgrounds,
municipal golf courses, tennis, pickle ball, and basketball courts are closed to the public. The beaches, rail trail and parks
remain open to allow the residents to do activities outdoors while remaining mindful of the social distancing protocol. In
addition to extending the March 23, 2020 order, information received yesterday provided clarification of some questions
that have arisen across the county relative to construction projects. The March 23, 2020 order defined construction as an
BOH 4/1/2020 Minutes Page 4
essential service which may continue. Additional guidance coming out subsequent to the Governor's revised order
yesterday suggested that decisions regarding construction activity may be made at the local level where concerns arise
regarding a contractor's ability to adhere to the published guidelines and procedures for construction site workers. The
Town of Brewster has very limited number of construction projects going on at this time.
Mrs. Graczewski stated that she did check with Mrs. von Hone before this meeting and the Health Department has not
received any reports to suggest noncompliance with the guidance disseminated from the Governor's office and MDPH.
Mrs. von Hone is reviewing building permits and will be attaching that guidance document to permits that come through
the Health Department. Additional information for construction site safety protocol are available at Mass.gov or by
contacting the Health or Building Departments.
Mrs. Graczewski stated that she doesn't believe that the Board needs to take any more action at this time with regards to
construction sites.
Dr. Scherzo spoke about the Select Board's latest meeting and Nantucket's Town Counsel speaking about construction
over there.
Dr. Chaffee stated that Lauren Goldberg, Town Counsel did make a general comment about Nantucket being able to
restrict construction despite it being listed as essential by the Governor.
Mrs. Graczewski stated that she had looked back at guidance documents from 3/23/2020 and following the dissemination
of that information regarding essential services, and Dr. Scherzo is correct. Counsel did issue guidance documents
explaining what that meant and she thought that the discussion by the Select Board at the last meeting didn't result in a
decision but noted that more guidance would be coming out, which it did, as of yesterday. The guidance states that local
Boards of Health may make a different decision where there are instances that these construction sites cannot meet public
health measures that are required under the guidance that's been given to them.
The Governor's office also issued additional guidance as to how the 3/31/2020 order applied to hotels, motels, inns, B &
B's and short term residential rentals including those that are arranged through online postings such as Air B & B's and
VRBO. This is new information. Lodging is defined as an essential service under the order when housing is offered for
health care workers, first responders and other workers identified as essential workforce. Members of vulnerable
population, MA Residents who are self -isolating or self -quarantining for the duration of the quarantine only. Individuals
receiving medical care from a physician in MA (Specialized medical care), or an extenuating circumstance which occurs
from a fire or some other casualty. Lodging for a vacation or leisure purposes is not considered essential and is prohibited
under the March 31, 2020 order, through at least May 4, 2020. A copy of the complete order can be accessed on the
Town's website.
7. Discussion regarding possible temporary suspension of seasonal Water Department service turn -ons
On March 30, 2020 the Select Board met and discussed the question of whether or not the Water Department should
continue turning water on for seasonal residents who avail themselves of this service that is offered. These are a limited
number of residents who are reliant upon this service as compared to the presumptive number of second or seasonal
homes. In consideration of the homeowner, who are our seasonal neighbors and contribute to our local economy, the
Select Board did not recommend that the Board of Health take any action to discontinue that service currently provided
by the Water Department for the remaining 350 residents who avail themselves of this service.
Mrs. Graczewski stated that she agrees with the decision the Select Board made and doesn't think that the Board of Health
needs to act on this.
BOH 4/1/2020 Minutes Page 5
Dr. Chaffee stated that the Water Superintendent did join in at the Select Board meeting and explained that his personnel
are able to take appropriate measures to protect themselves when they are doing the seasonal turn ons. They do go into
homes but they request that the homeowner is not home so that there is no opportunity for interaction. The Water
Superintendent is comfortable with the procedures that are in place and the outcome of the Select Board vote was 5-0 in
favor of continuing the service.
The Board of Health was satisfied that this service could continue with low risk to Town workers.
8. Review and approve minutes from 3/4/2020 meeting

Brewster Water Department
2019 Annual Water Quality Report
Dear Customer: We are pleased to present a summary of the quality of the water provided to you during the past year.
The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires that utilities issue an annual "Consumer Confidence" report to customers in
addition to other notices that may be required by law. This report details where our water comes from, what our tests show
about it, and other details you should know about your drinking water. The Brewster Water Department is committed to
providing you with the highest quality and most reliable water supply possible. Informed consumers are our best allies in
maintaining safe drinking water.
Please read this report carefully. If you have questions about this report, please call 508-896-5454 and ask for Paul
Anderson, Superintendent or Robert Crowley, Water Treatment Operator, The Brewster Water Department Public
Water System identification number (PWS ID#) is MA4041000.
The Brewster Water Department offices are located at 165 Commerce Park Road, Brewster, MA 02631. The phone
number is 508-896-5454 and the Fax number is 508-8964517. You can find out more about the Brewster Water
Department on the internet at the Town of Brewster web site, www.town.brewster.ma.us_ We encourage public interest and
participation in the Brewster Water Department. Water Commissioners' meetings generally occur once a month at the
Water Department Office. Meeting notices are posted at the Town Hall and are available at the Water Department office.
For up-to-date meeting times and dates, please call the Department. The public is always welcome.
The Town has five groundwater wells pumping water from the Monomoy Lens.
YOU'RE WATER SOURCE
The Monomoy Lens is one of the six groundwater lenses that make up the
Cape Cod Sole Source Aquifer. Each of the well sites has large Town owned
tracts of land surrounding them for water quality protection. Activity is
restricted to passive recreation on Town wellfield acreage.
Wells #1 & #2, located near Route 6, south of Freeman's Way, were
constructed in 1971 and are about 76 feet deep. Well #3, near Route 6, north
of Freeman's Way, was built in 1986 and is about 90 feet deep. Well #4, at the
north edge of the Punkhorn Parklands, off Run Hill Road, was built in 1991 and
is about 101 feet deep. Well 6 (the 51" well site) is in the southern Punkhorn
area and construction was completed in 2013. It is approximately 121 feet
deep and is currently providing water to Brewster residents. The Town treats
the water for corrosion control and to remove iron and manganese. See page
5 & 6 for more about our treatment facilities.
SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENT and PROTECTION (SWAP) REPORT
A Source Water Assessment was completed in Brewster in 2003 by members of the Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP), Drinking Water Program (DWP). A Source Water Assessment and Protection (SWAP) Report has been
issued and contains an evaluation of the land uses, environmental vulnerabilities and protection measures around the
wellfield areas of the Town. This report rates the susceptibility of the well sources, and gives recommendations for
improvement in aquifer protection and other areas that affect groundwater quality.
The susceptibility of the Town's wells, as determined during the Assessment, is as follows: Wells # 1-31
High; Well #4 and
#6 Moderate. While these assessments are serious, the reason for the determination is the lack of underground or
geological formations, such as a clay layer, that would create a hydrological barrier to possible contamination. This is not a
new issue for a good part of Cape Cod, due to the sand and gravel make-up of the Cape. The Town has wellhead
protection regulations and a Groundwater Protection District in place to oversee land use within that District.
The report cites land uses in Brewster's Zone II areas, as "dominated with forest with smaller areas of residential use
(approximately 7%) and a very
small percentage of commercial and industrial land use." There are recommendations for
further action and planning in each area of the report. Some of the recommendations include land acquisition, additional
monitoring, public education and outreach for source protection and storage, handling and disposal of hazardous materials.
Residents can help protect our water quality by practicing good septic system maintenance and properly disposing of
household hazardous waste through Brewster's Hazardous Waste Collection Program. Contact the Brewster Health
Department (508-896-3701, ext. 120) or the Brewster Water Department (508-896-5454) for information on these topics.
The report is available for viewing at the Commerce Park Road Water Department offices and a copy has been placed at
the Brewster Ladies Library, The Department is also placing the scanned report on the Department web page of the
Town's website, www.town.brewster.ma.us

Water -Quality Table Footnotes
1. See paragraph on this contaminant on page 4.
2. See paragraph on this contaminant on page 5.
3. This Results column represents the highest concentration upon which the system's compliance is based, not
necessarily the highest concentration found.
* Data presented is from the most recent testing done in accordance with the regulations. Most of the data presented in
this table is from the reporting year. We monitor for some contaminants less than once per year, under DEP reduced
monitoring requirements, because concentrations for those contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from
year to year. As a result, some of our data, though representative, is more than a year old. For those contaminants,
the date of the last sample is shown in the table.
** Unregulated contaminants are those for which EPA has not established drinking water standards. The purpose of
unregulated contaminant monitoring is to assist EPA in determining their occurrence in drinking water and whether
future regulation is warranted.
Water Quality Data Table and Definitions
The water quality information presented in the table is from the most recent round of testing done in accordance with State
and Federal regulations. All data shown is based upon tests conducted in the year 2019 unless otherwise noted in the
table. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has granted the Brewster Water Department reduced
monitoring requirements for Synthetic Organic Contaminants (SOC) and Inorganic Contaminants (IOC) because the
sources have shown not to be at risk for contamination. The last full sampling for IOC and SOC was in 2011.
DEFINITIONS
Maximum Contaminant Level or MCL: The highest level of a contaminant in drinking water. MCLS are set as close to the
MCLGs (see below) as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal or MCLG: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below, which there is no
known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
Action Level (AL) - The concentration of a contaminant that, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements, which
a water system must follow.
-3-
Frs per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/L) - One part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a
Single penny in $10,000.
Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (Ng/L) - One part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or
a single penny in $10,000,000.
PicoCuries per liter (pCilL) - PicoCuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) -- The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is
convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) -- The level of a drinking water disinfectant (chlorine,
chloramines, chlorine dioxide) below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLG's do not reflect the
benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.
Non -Detects (ND) -Laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present.
MFL- Million Fibers per Liter
Treatment Technique (TT) — A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.
90t1' Percentile: Out of every 10 homes, 9 were at or below this level.
Secondary Maximum Contaminant Level (SMCL) These standards are developed to protect the aesthetic qualities of
drinking water and are not health based.
Massachusetts Office of Research and Standards Guideline (ORSG) This is the concentration of a chemical in
drinking water, at or below, which adverse health effects are unlikely to occur after chronic (lifetime) exposure. If
exceeded, it serves as an indicator of the potential need for further action.
___---�-= �-�-� What does all this mean? This report shows our water quality and what it means. The Brewster Water
-'- Department routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws.
We have learned through our monitoring and testing that some contaminants have been detected. The
Department takes hundreds of samples for over 100 contaminants in our drinking �-, g w ater. Space does not
allow listing all constituents here. All regulated or unregulated contaminants with sampling requirements
that do not appear in the Water Quality Data Table were reported as "below the detection limit" or non-detectable (ND). A
complete listing of all sampling results is available at the Water Department Office, 165 Commerce Park Road, Brewster,
MA 02631.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general
population. Immuno -compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing
chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other
immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.
These people should seek advice from their health care providers. EPA/Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by
Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water
Hotline, 14004264791.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
Drinking Water
Hotline
1-800-426-4791
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribe regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants 11 water
provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Massachusetts Department of Public
Health (DPH) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water that must provide the same protection for
public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of
some contamination. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More
information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe Drinking Water
Hotline, 1-800-4264791.
ADDITIONAL HEALTH INFORMATION
Sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and
wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally -occurring minerals, and in
some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human
activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems,
agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.
Inorganic contaminants such as salts and metals can be naturally -occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff,
industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, and farming.
- 4 -
Pesticides and herbicides, may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff,an
residential uses.
Organic chemical contaminants, include synthetic and volatile organic chemicals that are by-products of industrial
processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.
Radioactive contaminants can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
Maximum Contaminant Levels: (MCL's) are set at very stringent levels. The EPA has determined that your water IS
SAFE at these levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated constituents, a person
would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one -in -a -million chance of having
the described health effect.
Total Coliform detections:
No maximum contaminant levels or other health standards were exceeded in any month in 2018. The Department took
435 bacteria samples in 2019 at representative locations throughout the town at regular intervals to monitor this aspect of
water quality; 384 samples are required by regulation.
Lead: If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young
children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home
plumbing. The Brewster Water Department is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the
variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize
the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If
you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water,
testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at
http://www. epa. gov/safewater/lead.
Tetrachloroethylene: Detections occur where vinyl lined water mains were installed in the 1970'3. Vinyl -lined, asbestos -
cement pipe was used in a number of subdivisions until the compound was detected in 1979. Brewster, along with other
Massachusetts towns with similar piping, flushes and monitors under a DEP approved program to deal with the problem.
There are 6.3 miles of the affected pipe in Brewster's 126 mile water distribution system. All locations have bleeders to
control the level of the contaminant. The samples are taken after the last service on each street. This gives the "worst case
scenario" for contaminant concentration. Most homes served by these pipes should be well below reported levels. For
specific area sample results, please call the Brewster Water Department.
The following locations are served by affected pipe and had detections in ranges noted in the data table, page 2: Nathan's
Pasture Way.
The following streets had non-detectable results: Ambergris Circle -West, Ambergris Circle -East, Damon Road, Woodstock
Drive, Bog Pond Road, Bridle Path Road, Carriage Drive, Great Fields Road -from Pine Bluff Road north to end of the
water main, Harmony Lane, Highridge Road, John Wings Lane, Linda Circle, Oakwood Road, Pleasant Court, Wagon
Wheel Lane, Whiffletree Avenue, Wynn Way, Gages Way -North, Puritan Drive, Stonehenge Drive.
Unregulated contaminants: Those for which EPA has not established drinking water standards. The purpose of
unregulated contaminant monitoring is to assist EPA in determining their occurrence in drinking water and whether future
regulation is warranted.
Sodium: Sodium -sensitive individuals, such as those experiencing hypert
ension, kidney failure, or congestive heart
failure, should be aware of the sodium levels where exposures are being carefully controlled.
Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM): Some people who drink water containing trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL over
many years experience problems with their liver, kidneys, or central nervous systems, and may have increased risk of
getting cancer. Brewster did not exceed the MCL for these contaminants. The only Volatile Organic Compound detected
and reported this year is Chloroform, naturally occurring in most Cape Cod groundwaters.
Haloacetic Acids(HAA5): Some people who drink water containing haloacetic acids in excess of the MCL over many
years may have increased risk of getting cancer. Brewster did not exceed the MCL for these contaminants.

it is preferable that the iron and manganese
The Greensand Filtration Facility is designed to remove iron and manganese pumped from Well #4, located off Run Hill
Road. Treatment includes the use of sodium hypochlorite, a liquid chlorine solution, for oxidation of the minerals. This
causes the iron and manganese to form tiny particles. Once this happens, the water passes through special filters
consisting of material that is specifically designed to capture iron and manganese particles. Over time, filters start to clog
and need to be cleaned using a high-flow backwash process.

Corrosion Control through pH Adjustment
Many drinking water sources in New England are naturally corrosive (i.e. they have a pH of less than 7.0). So, the water
they supply has a tendency to corrode and dissolve the metal piping it flows through. This not only damages pipes but
can also add harmful metals, such as lead and copper, to the water. For this reason it is beneficial to add chemicals that
make the water neutral or slightly alkaline. This is accomplished by adding any one or a combination of several approved
chemicals. The Brewster Water Department adds hydrated lime at two Lime Treatment Facilities located near Wells #1
& 2, and Well #3. Potassium hydroxide is used in place of hydrated lime at Well #4, for pH adjustment and corrosion
control of this water source. Testing throughout the system has shown that this treatment has been effective at reducing
the lead and copper concentrations.
Unregulated Contaminants are those that don't yet have a drinking water standard set by US Environmental Protection
Agency. The purpose of monitoring for these contaminants is to help US EPA decide whether the contaminants should
have a standard. American Water Works Facts Sheets are available at htti)://www.drinktar).org/home/water-
info rmation/water-q ua I ity/ucm r3. aslpx,
Sodium hypochlorite, also added to the water at these facilities, as a preventative disinfectant, during system flushing.
This chemical is added at a concentration of approximately 0.6 ppm free chlorine for approximately 6 weeks each spring
and fall and in the summer as needed to ensure safe drinking water.
All chemicals used for treatment are approved for water treatment by one of the following organizations: National
Sanitation Foundation (Now known as NSF International), or UL, both accredited by the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI). The chemicals also meet performance standards established by the American Water Works Association,

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has very specific laws requiring licensed Drinking Water Supply Operators for water
systems providing drinking water to the public. This certification is obtained by passing tests and meeting experience and
training requirements. Operators must also complete continuing education requirements to retain this license. Brewster
currently has nine staff members with varied levels of Drinking Water Supply Facilities Operator Certificates. The
employees of the Brewster Water Department work diligently to provide top quality water to every consumer's tap. We ask
everyone's help in conserving and protecting our water resources. Thank you!
PROTECT YOUR DRINKING WATER FROM CROSS CONNECTIONS A cross connection occurs whenever a potable drinking
water line is directly or indirectly connected to a piece of equipment or piping containing non -potable water. In the event of a backflow
incident, through either backpressure or back -siphonage, an unprotected cross connection in your home could cause the water system
within your home and also within the water distribution system in the street to become contaminated. The outside water tap and garden
hose tend to be the most common cross connection in the home. The garden hose becomes a hazard when connected to a chemical
sprayer for weed killing and fertilizer applications. This cross connection can be easily protected by purchasing a small device known as
a vacuum breaker. Vacuum breakers can be purchased at your local hardware store and are very inexpensive and easy to install. The
vacuum breaker should be installed on all your outside faucets. Other potential cross connections can occur on lawn irrigation systems
and fire protection systems. For more information on cross connections, please feel free to contact the Brewster Water Department.

8th, September 12th, and October 10th.
Collections are from 9 AM to 12 Noon at the Harwich Transfer Station, 209 Queen Anne Road. There is no fee for
residents and taxpayers of participating towns. Thanks to the Town of Harwich and Harwich Transfer Station staff for
hosting this great activity!! For more info call Barnstable County Hazardous Materials Program (508) 375-6699
2020 Summer Annual Voluntary Irrigation Restriction Schedule
June 15th through Labor Day:
Residential: Even numbered houses water on even numbered days. Odd numbered houses water on odd numbered
days. Commercial, Condominium and Municipal: Assigned odd or even in writing by the Water Dept.
This is not a directive to water every other day. When irrigation is needed. please follow the voluntary
schedule above.
Lawn irrigation is a significant part of our water demand during the summer months. Proper irrigation techniques
conserve water and save you money. There are a number of easy steps to take that will help control water use. If you
have an automatic lawn sprinkler system make sure it has a moisture sensor that is working to avoid unnecessary
watering. Use a rain gauge or cat food can to monitor the amount of water you are applying to the lawn. A good
soaking once or twice a week totaling about an inch of water should be sufficient. Adjust your watering if necessary to
achieve this goal. Cut the lawn higher to promote deeper roots and to help prevent weeds. Keeping mower blades
sharp limits grass blade damage which leads to disease and stress. A healthy grass needs less water!!
