The leaching facility is also located downgradient to the pond and is approximately 12' above pond elevation. 4. Per the Water Table Map, groundwater is flowing Northerly, and the existing septic system is located downgradient of the pond and therefore, will not impact the pond as currently situated. 5. Map References: - Cape Cod Water Resources Classification Map 1, 6/18/2010 (Map referenced in approved BOH Regulation Regarding Variance Requests for On -Site Sewage Disposal System Applications): lot and septic system are not located within the Freshwater Recharge Area. - Septic System Buffers and Groundwater Flow Directions near Brewster's Ponds, 1/26/2016 (Map referenced in Draft BOB Regulation of Sewage Disposal Systems to Protect Surface Waters and Pond.

Please contact me to schedule a time when and where we can meet to discuss the proposed strategy regulatory approaches. Thank you in advance for your interest and engagement. Sincerely, Millie Millie Garcia -Serrano, MPH Regional Director MassDEP Southeast Regional Office ao Riverside Drive Lakeville, MA 02347 f Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy Environmental Affairs Department of Environmental Protection Charles D. Baker Bethany A. Card Govemor Secretary Karyn E. POifto Marlin SuttEierg Lieutenant Governor Commissioner June 1, 2022 Dear Municipal Official: I am writing to inform you of regulatory revisions the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) is developing to ensure that timely actions are taken to restore and protect coastal estuaries that have been impacted'by excessive nitrogen pollution. The two regulatory approaches we developed and plan to publish for public comment this fall Provide communities with choices on how to address the growing pollution problem affecting our waters. MassDEP will be requesting a meeting with you as we seek input on these proposals prior to publication. As you are well aware, nutrient contamination is one of the most pressing environmental challenges facing Cape Cod. Increased population and development in those areas surrounding Cape Cad's estuaries have resulted in excessive amounts of nutrients being discharged into these sensitive resources, causing eutrophication and prompting the accelerated growth of nuisance plants, weeds and algae, using up much of the oxygen in the water. This forces out finfish, shellfish, and indigenous plant species. The result -water bodies that violate state water quality standards, are visually displeasing, smell bad, and cannot support the natural uses that the estuaries have historically offered. This is not only an environmental problem- if not addressed in a timely way, it is likely to harm the Cape's economy through a decline in fishing, shellfishing, tourism, and property values. The primary water quality problem on Cape Cod stems from nitrogen contamination. Nitrogen from septic systems, wastewater treatment plants, lawns and stormwater leaches into groundwater and flows underground and is discharged to surface water bodies. While nitrogen comes from a variety of sources, on Cape Cod the predominant sources are on-site septic systems. Approximately 85 percent of the wastewater flow into Cape Cod's embayments comes from on-site septic systems. MassDEP has been working closely with Cape Cod communities to assess and address this problem. First, MassDEP collaborated with Cape Cod communities and the University of Massachusetts, through the Massachusetts Estuaries Project, to provide communities with the scientific studies they need to effectively address the specific water quality issues impacting each estuary. These studies, which clearly demonstrate the need to take action, were also used to form the underlying basis for Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). TMDLs are U.S. This information is avaiiable In alternate format. Cantact Glynis Bugg at 677-3484049. TT Y# M a ssRe I ay 88NICe1.800.439-2370 M35sDEP Website: www.mass.gov)dep Prinked on Recyclad Paper Environmental Protection Agency or EPA -approved calculations of the maximum amount of a pollutant allowed to enter a waterbody so that the waterbody will meet and continue to meet water quality standards for that particular pollutant. A TMDL determines a pollutant reduction target and allocates load reductions necessary to the source(s) of the pollutant. There are currently 30 TMDLs for nitrogen across Cape Cod, generally requiring significant reductions in nitrogen loads. To further facilitate development of solutions to this problem, in 2013 MassDEP directed the Cape Cod Commission to prepare an update to the 1978 Water Quality Management (WQM) Plan for Cape Cod in accordance with §208 of the Federal Clean Water Act ("CWA" or the "Act"). The Plan was certified by Governor Laker and approved by EPA in 2015, after an extensive public participation process that included numerous public meetings across the Cape and input from hundreds of residents, community officials and stakeholders. The Plan examines the causes of water quality issues on Cape Cod and provides options for communities to consider, including new planning tools to use in malting local decisions about potential solutions. The Plan Update also offers greater flexibility and discusses financing and funding options to help implement those solutions. Since adoption of .the Updated Plan there have been important steps taken to further assist such efforts, including a new source of ongoing funding, proposed by Cape legislators and signed into law by the Governor, to help towns pay for necessary wastewater infrastructure and water quality remediation projects. This fund, known as the Cape Cad and Islands Water Protection Fund, is already providing substantial financial assistance to wastewater efforts on Cape Cod. MassDEP has also continued to work with communities to develop and implement wastewater plans, and we have been pleased to see a range of progress across with the Cape, including planning, funding, evaluating pilot approaches, and, in some cases, the actual implementation of solutions. At the same time, such progress has been inconsistent and unpredictable across the Cape communities. We have clearly heard this concern from citizens and advocates who have urged additional action. MassDEP ultimately has the responsibility to ensure that concrete actions are taken in a timely way to address the ongoing nitrogen contamination and ensure these critical water resources meet water quality standards. MassDEP, therefore, is planning to propose two regulatory changes to meet this responsibility. First, the primary source of the nitrogen contamination is septic systems, and our regulatory authority for such systems is .the Title 5 regulation- and MassDEP must ensure these requirements are protective of water quality. Therefore, we are proposing to revise Title 5 regulations to establish "Nitrogen Sensitive Areas" (NSAs) for watersheds draining into an estuaries where there is an EPA -approved "Total Maximum Daily Load," which finds that the estuary is impaired by nitrogen. The revised regulations would require - unless Towns take advantage of an alternative watershed approach -- that within 5 years of the effective of the NSA designation, new on-site systems include, and existing on-site systems upgrade to; enhanced nitrogen treatment systems demonstrating the lowest nitrogen levels in their effluent. For Cape Cod communities subject to the Section 208 Water Quality Management Plan, the designation and new requirements would become effective upon the final promulgation of the regulations. MassDEP has prioritized our efforts for years to work with communities to develop more tailored and effective wastewater solutions and remains committed to such efforts. Therefore, we are also proposing a second regulatory revision to formally establish the "watershed permit." These permits are 20 -year permits that are based on long-term wastewater plans that will achieve water quality goals and provide communities the opportunity to utilize a range of approaches, including centralized sewer treatment and innovative approaches. Importantly, if communities take advantage of this approach, and obtain a watershed permit that covers an area that would be subject to new NSA regulations, the system -by -system approach can be avoided. To help provide some of the immediate funding needs that Towns moving forward will face, Governor Baker has proposed $200 million in additional funding for communities moving forward to addressing this environmental challenge. These funds will help support the needed actions over the next several years to improve water quality, and demonstrate our ongoing commitment to working with communities. The Baker -Polito Administration will be working to secure passage of this important funding in the coming weeks. MassDEP recognizes that Cape communities have been working to develop and implement plans to address these water duality challenges. As we seek input and comment on these regulatory approaches over the next few months, we would like to meet with appropriate officials in your community to discuss the status of these efforts and how they may comport with the proposed changes. I have attached a fact sheet that provides more details on the proposed regulatory framework. PIease contact Millie Garcia -Serrano, Director of MassDEP's Southeast Regional Office at millie. arcia-serrano &,mass. ov to schedule a time where we can meet to discuss these regulatory approaches in person.

Baker Bethany A. Card Governor secretary Karyn E. Panto Martin Suuharg Lieutenant Governor Commissioner Fact Sheet MassDEP Regulatory Strategy for Estuaries Impaired by Nitrogen June 1, 2022 1. Nitro en Sensitive Area Designations: A primary source of nitrogen contamination of coastal estuaries in Southeastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod and the Islands are on-site septic systems. MassDEP, in conjunction with local Boards of Health, regulates these systems through "Title 5" regulations, 310 Clv R 15.00, To ensure the Title 5 regulations are protective of the environment, particularly in relation to the impact of nitrogen discharges on surface water quality, MassDEP is proposing the following revisions to Title 5.- Establish : Establish New Nitrogen Sensitive Areas {NSAs} To more effectively address nitrogen impacting estuaries, MassDEP is proposing to establish new "Natural Resource Area" NSAs for: any watershed to an embayment or sub-embaytnent that is the subject of a Nitrogen Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) approved by the EPA pursuant to the federal Clean Water Act and an Area. -Wide Water Quality Management Plan pursuant to Section 208 of the Clean Water Act addressing nitrogen pollution: a A "TMDL" is an EPA -approved calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant allowed to enter a waterbody so that the waterbody will meet and continue to meet water quality standards for that particular pollutant. A TMDL determines a pollutant reduction target and allocates load reductions necessary to the sources of the pollutant. o All Cape Cod communities are subject to the "208 Plan" approved by EPA in 2015. o There are currently 30 watersheds across Cape Cod with EPA -approved nitrogen TMDLs. This intonation is aVal Ia4la in alternate format. Can tact Glynis Bugg at 617-3484040. TTYN MassRelay Service 1-804.439-2370 MassOEP WehsiIs: www. Mass.govldep Printed on Recycled Paper o For these watersheds, the NSA designation is effective on the effective date of the final regulations. any watershed to an embayment or sub-ombayment that is the subject to an EFA -approved TMDL or determined to be nitrogen sensitive by the Department based on scientific evaluation and adopted through a public process involving public notice, including the scientific and regulatory rational for the designation, and a 60 -day public comment period. o For these watersheds, the NSA designation is effective upon completion of the public process and MassDEP's issuance of the final designation. New Requirements for Natural Resource Area NSAs MassDEP is proposing new requirements for these new NSAs to more effectively address the specific problems related to septic systems contaminating coastal estuaries. Unless a community is the subject of a Watershed Permit described below, any system serving a new construction, or an existing facility must incorporate Best Available Nitrogen Reducing Technology within five years of theeffective date of the NSA designation of the watershed in which they are located. Hest Available Nitrogen Reducing Technology is an alternative system certified by MassDEP for general use pursuant to Title 5 which has the lowest effluent Total Nitrogen performance value. An alternative system granted provisional or pilot approval by MassDEP may also be utilized as long as such system has a Total Nitrogen performance value less than or equal to the lowest alternative system certified by the Department for general use. Exemption from Enhanced Treatment Requirements in Watersheds with Watershed Permits While the enhanced treatment requirements for septic systems will result in significant reductions in nitrogen pollution, they may not be the most effective and efficient way to restore the impacted estuaries and achieve established water quality goals. Therefore, MassDEP is also proposing a second, concurrent regulatory revision to faiTnally establish a "watershed permit process." if communities take advantage of this approach, and obtain a watershed permit that covers an area that would be subject to new `Nitrogen Sensitive Area" regulations, the above Title 5 NSA requirements would not become effective for that area. However, if a Watershed Permit is terminated by the permittee or revolted by MassDEP, new systems installed after the date of terruinationlrevocation would have to install Best Available Nitrogen Reducing Technology and existing systems would have to install such technology within five years from the effective date of the new NSA regulations or two years of the date of terrninationlrevocation, whichever is longer. 2, Watershed Permit Regulations: The Watershed Permitting regulations are a new, innovative approach to provide connnunities the opportunity to develop and implement the most effective and efficient solutions to addressing water quality challenges. This approach provides the opportunity for communities to employ a greater range of solutions to address their water quality needs, including alternative or innovative approaches. The Watershed Permit is a 20 - year permit instead of the traditional five-year permit which utilizes an adaptive management approach, requiring permittees to monitor, evaluate and report results, and adjust and modify the strategies and practices as needed to address conditions that are causing the water quality impairments. Watershed Management Plan The Watershed Permit is based on a "Watershed Management Plan" a long-term plan to address an existing water quality impairment to restore and protect water quality. The Watershed Management Plan must be approved by town meetings of each respective watershed permit applicant, and is based on a Comprehensive or Targeted Watershed Management Plan, The Plan provides a schedule and description of actions to restore the waterbody to applicable Water Quality Standards in accordance with any applicable TMDL and/or any other applicable scientific evaluation, such as the Massachusetts Estuaries Project (MEP) report. For watersheds where a TMDL has been established, the Watershed Management Plan must achieve compliance with the Water Quality Standards required by the TMDL and demonstrate that at a minimum, 75% of the necessary pollutant reduction levels will be achieved within 20 years, unless MassDEP determines an alternative schedule is appropriate based on watershed -specific issues. Watershed Permit Application • Any Local Goverrunent Unit or Regional Local Government Unit can file for a watershed permit. Multiple local government units that share a watershed or sub -watershed may apply jointly for a Watershed Permit, provided they have entered into an enforceable agreement (e.g., Intermunicipal Agreement) that confirms each permittee's percentage share of the aggregate pollutant removal responsibility and provides a framework to coordinate resource management decision-making and arrangements relating to the receipt and expenditure of funds for implementation. ■ The Watershed Permit authorizes work needed to implement the Permittee's mitigation strategy for the watershed or sub -watershed, therefore the Application must include the Watershed Management Plan for the watershed or sub -watershed including: ❑ maps depicting the regulated area (watershed boundary) and a narrative describing the area proposed to be covered under a Watershed Permit; ❑ a description of the current and historic water quality conditions, including short- (daily/seasonal) and long- (annual) term variability, proposed sentinel sampling locations within the watershed/stations, sampling frequency, parameters and sampling technique (e.g., grab/observation); 3 o the earlier planning approaches taken prior to filing the application, including any related findings and recommendations; o the types, locations, and timing of any on-going and proposed TMDL or alternative TMDL implementation activities within the watershed or sub -watershed proposed for coverage; o a table identifying the nitrogen load that the area proposed for coverage under the watershed permit contributes to the surface waters of the watershed for the past 10 years and projected loads for the following 10 and depicting the necessary load reductions (removal requirements) within the watershed to meet the TMDL or TMDLs and a concise description of the means of achieving those specified reductions during the term of the permit; o the Conventional Control Technologies and Alternative Control Approaches or Technologies selected for pollutant load reductions, the area covered by these approaches, and identification of the permittee who will be responsible for implementing each activity; o the estimated load reductions needed to meet the threshold concentration(s) at the sentinel station(s) for each of the selected Conventional Control Technologies and Alternative Control Approaches or Technologies; o the implementation schedule for each Alternative Control Approach or Technology proposed, including a timeframe for demonstration, testing, and acceptance or abandonment of such approaches or technologies; o the Core Sewer Area and the service areas prioritized for wastewater collection and treatment after accounting for implementation of the selected Alternative Control Approaches and Technologies; a if Alternative Control Approaches and Technologies are proposed, a contingency plan for a back-up Conventional Control Technology in the event that the Alternative Control Approaches and Technologies selected do not function as predicted; o the proposed approach to control 100% of all future pollutant loads to ensure that loads will always stay below the applicable threshold levels cost estimates for the infrastructure and programs associated with the proposed actions, if available; e an implementation schedule, not to exceed 20 years, currently envisioned by the applicant(s), including a designated set of activities that will occur in the first 5 -year block of time, and the results of which will enable the permittee to revise the implementation plans for the next 5 -year period as necessary to meet load reduction requirements as specified. Standard Watershed Permit Provisions ■ The Department shall not issue a Watershed Permit if the Watershed Management Plan does not provide for achievement of the Surface Water Quality standards applicable to the 4 water bodies covered by the permit or if the permit does not provide for reasonable progress in achievement of the TMDL load reductions necessary to meet water quality standards. + Consistent with the Watershed Management Plan, the permit shall require that 75% of the necessary pollutant reduction levels will be achieved within 20 years, unless MassDEP determines an alternative schedule is appropriate based on watershed --specific issues. ■ The proposed activities, implementation schedule for such activities, and facilities set forth in the applicant's Watershed Management Plan shall be enforceable requirements, incorporated in a Watershed Permit. + Subject to Department approval, a permittee is granted pollutant reduction credit for Alternative Control Approaches and Technologies only if the permittee implements and maintains such approaches and/or technologies in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Watershed Permit. ■ The permittee shall provide a Contingency Plan in its Watershed Management Plan that relies on Conventional Control Technologies to achieve the target threshold concentrations identified in the Watershed Management Plan. ■ The permittee snail monitor water quality in accordance with the permittee's monitoring pian and report the results in the Annual Reports required by the Watershed Permit. • The Permit requires annual reporting, with 5 -Year Reports evaluating results of program and proposed adjustments through adaptive management. + Any prospective changes to the Watershed Management Plan or the approved implementation schedule shall be identified in the Annual Reports required by the Watershed Permit. Any such proposed changes to the Watershed Management Pian shall be subject to the Department's review and approval. ■ For a permittee(s) to terminate permit coverage, they must provide public notice and hold a public meeting. ■ Any permits issued by the Department that comprise a component of the implementation activities or are applicable to the pollutant discharges in the watershed shall be incorporated by reference into the Watershed Permit. Watershed Permit Process The applicant shall publish public notice of the Watershed Permit proceeding in the MEPA Environmental Monitor and in a newspaper circulated within the: area that will be affected by the Watershed Permit. The Department will post the notice on the Department's webpage. Public notice will afford a comment period of at least 60 days. A public hearing will be held if requested by the applicant, or if the Department determines a public hearing to be in the public interest. After the conclusion of the 60 -day public comment period, the Department may issue or deny a final Watershed Permit. ❑ If no comments objecting to the issuance or terms of the Watershed Permit were received by the Department during the public comment period, then the Watershed Permit shall take effect upon issuance. o If comments objecting to the issuance or the terms and conditions of the Watershed Permit were received by the Department during the public comment period, then the final Watershed Permit shall become effective 21 days after issuance, unless a request for an adjudicatory hearing is timely filed. o During the 21 -day period following issuance of the Watershed Permit or determination to deny, any person aggrieved by the decision may file a request for an adjudicatory hearing with the Department. Watershed Permit Modification/Suspension/Revocation The Department may propose and determine to modify, suspend or revoke any Watershed Permit, in whole or in part, for cause including, but not limited to, violation of any permit, obtaining a permit by misrepresentation, or failure to disclose fully all relevant facts or any change in or discovery of conditions that calls for reduction or discontinuance of the authorized discharge or activity. The Department shall process a Watershed Permit modification, suspension or revocation in the same planner as an application for a Watershed Permit; provided, however, that the Department may revise a schedule in a Watershed Permit at the request of a permittee if the Department determines that good and valid cause, for which the permittee is not at fault, exists for such revision, and in such cases the provision for public notice and hearing shall not apply. Any one or more of the permittees may terminate coverage under this Permit by providing written notice to the Department at least 60 days in advance of the date such termination is to take effect. Such notice will include public notice of a public hearing to be held at least 30 days prior to the termination date. Such notice will be published in the MEPA Environmental Monitor and in a newspaper circulated within the area affected by the Watershed Permit at least 30 days prior to the hearing. IAF_Wa Town of Brewster Office of; Select Board Ar .A ; IL 2198 Main Street Town Administrator 3 U Brewster, MA 02631-1898 r Phone: (508) 896-3701 Fax: (508) 896-8089 MEMORANDUM TO: Select Board FROM: Peter Lombardi, Town Administrator RE: Update on Financing options for Integrated Water Resource Capital Planning DATE: June 10, 2022 Foilowing up on our discussion last month, here are the latest updates on water quality planning: The CCIWPF Board approved use of CCIWPF funds to provide technical assistance from Cape Cod Commission staff to Brewster (and other towns as appropriate) to determine State Revolving Fund eligibility of various innovation alternative septic and other non-traditional wastewater projects -- see attached scope of services. This project is expected to take up to six months to complete and should clarify the feasibility of various financing solutions for Brewster's planned projects, including whether they will be eligible for CCIWPF subsidies. Earlier this spring, the EPA announced a major new grant program ($1+M per project) for the Southeast New Engiand Program (SNEP) to pilot the creation of Responsible Management Entities (financing and administrative mechanism) for I/A systems. The Mass Septic System Test Center plans to apply. We have met with County officials ahout their proposal and plan to submit a letter of support with their application. Barnstable County officials are considering numerous changes to the existing Septic Loan program, including potentially reducing or eliminating interest charges and/or providing loan forgiveness for certain income -eligible homeowners — see attached for details. As currently constituted, residents seeking to upgrade to I/A technology must have a failed system to be eligible for this program. However, the newly proposed DEP Title V regulations, perhaps in concert with amended local regulations, may expand eligibility for these septic upgrades. We are meeting with County and Commission staff next month to discuss how these three projects (CCIWPF TA, County RME grant, and County Septic Loan Program changes) may interact. • The CCIWPF Board voted to appropriate $27M in CCIWPF subsides to a total of eight SRF eligible projects included in the 2022 intended Use Plan, Actual subsidies in the first two years of the fund have well exceeded actuarial projections. Absent the proposed major infusion of state funding outlined below, the current model (2511/o subsidy over 4 years) would need to be revisited by next year. A presentation to this effect was made to the CCIWPF earlier this spring. This merits continued attention if state funds do not materialize for whatever reason. • As I relayed last week, DEP announced that it plans to propose changes to Title V reqs that would apply to nitrogen sensitive watersheds on Cape, requiring either septic systems to be upgraded to IJA technology in 5 years or the Town to enter into shared 20 -year wastewater permits similar to Pleasant Bay. There is no clear direction yet on how this would impact our Pleasant Bay Watershed Permit, which is viewed as a model by DFP. As I mentioned, the proposed new requirements would impact Brewster's contributions to the Herring River watershed, including properties on Long Pond, Sheep Pond, and Seymour Pond. Governor Baker has included $200M in state funding in his proposed FY22 supplemental budget, pending legislative approval, to help cover some implementation costs. We have been told that these funds, if approved, would he directed to a combination of the CCIWPF & Barnstable County Septic Loan Program. We are working with DEP to schedule a meeting with them next month to provide initial feedback before they draft these updated regulations. They will be meeting with Town officials across the Cape over the summer seeking their input. • I expect that the previously planned meeting with relevant state officials and our legislative delegation will occur after the Commission completes its technical assistance work and DEP develops draft updated Title V regulations. • On a related note, the Town will be co -hosting the Brewster Ponds Coalition's annual ponds summit on Friday June 17 from 9AM to noon at the Brewster Baptist Church. The summit will include a panel discussion of subject -matter experts who will address septic system impacts on pond water quality, potential solutions, and financing considerations. Based on these latest developments, i recommend that the Board vote to postpone decisions on the Town's continued participation in the CCIWPF until further notice. Cape Cod & Islands Water Protection Fund (CCIWPF) -Technical Assistance Non -Traditional Technologies and Clean Water State Revolving Fund Eligibility Craft Scope of Work May 2022 Introduction Cape Cod's Area Wide Water Quality Management Pian Update (208 Plan Update) is a framework to restore embayment water quality on Cape Cod, with a focus on resolving nitrogen impacts on coastal water quality. it recommends strategies, regulatory reforms, and a process for communities to reduce or eliminate excess nitrogen through the use of nutrient mitigation technologies, including green infrastructure and non-traditional technologies. Many towns on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard are Interested in pursuing non-traditional approaches to wastewater management (such as the use of innovative/alternative (IIA) septic systems located on private property). However, non-traditional methods to remediate water quality may face hurdles in accessing funding through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWS RF) program, which is a requirement of obtaining subsidies from the CCIWPF. At their meeting on March 17, 2022, the CCIWPF Executive Committee directed Cape Cod Commission (Commission) staff to provide technical assistance to the Town of Brewster and other Cape Cod communities considering innovativelalternative septic systems and other non-traditional technologies to maximize State Revolving Fund eligibility, The following outlines a scope of work for such technical assistance, which is anticipated to take 3-5 months to complete. The technical assistance will consider IIA septic systems and non-traditional technologies that target coastal, estuarine, and freshwater, including surface and groundwater, all of which impact transport of nutrients through watersheds, ac oe of_Wc rk Task 1: Intended Use Plan (IUP) Research Commission staff will analyze prior Massachusetts CWSRF funding of non-traditianaI technologies and projects located on private property (including on Cape Cod, the Islands, and other locations within the state) and SRF programs in other states that grant SRF fund eligibility for non-traditional technologies and those located on private property. Commission staff will assess funding between common types of traditional technology projects, green infrastructure projects, and other non- traditional projects. Deliverable: Memorandum to include: List of non-traditional projects funded through the IUP, by projecttype, water resource impacted, funding amount, and IUP score, including projects on private property. Breakdown of funding percentages to common types of traditional technology projects versus green infrastructure and non-traditional projects. Compilation of relevant information on other state SRI= programs. Task 2: Interviews and Information Gathering Cam mission staff will meet with select CCIWPF member towns to understand the types of non- traditional projects communities are interested in pursuing and gather information those towns have received to date from DEP on those projects, as applicable. Commission staff will also talk to CCIWPF member communities that may have already pursued non-traditional technologies and been listed on an IUP, Commission staff may speak with non-CCIWPF communities that have received funding far non-traditional technologies projects and projects on private property that have been listed on an IUP to learn about those project components. Deliverable: Memorandum to include a list of the types of projects CCIWPF member towns would like to pursue and a description of specific non -sewer related projects and projects on private property that have received funding through the CWSRF, on -Cape and off -Cape. Task 3: Research on CWSRF Eligibility and Criteria and DEP IUP Ranking Commission staff will research the eligibility of and criteria for projects to receive funding through the CWSRF that use non-traditional technologies and green infrastructure, including clarification on EPA green infrastructure monetary set asides within the CWSRF through DEP. Commission staff wild meet with Clean Water Trust {CWT} and DEP staff for information on how projects are ranked on the IUP and funding priorities. The analysis will evaluate eligibility differences based on water resource impacted. Deliverable: Memorandum to include information on EPA and DEP monetary set asides within the CWT for green infrastructure and non-traditional projects, IUP ranking, and DEP funding priorities. Task 4: Identify Opportunities for and Barriers to Increased Access to CWSRF Funding Using the information gathered in Tasks 1-3, Commission staff will identify opportunities for and harriers to increased access to funding. Commission staff will evaluate paths forward for opportunities and identify possible solutions for barriers. Commission staff will explore the role of pilot and planning projects in Increasing access to funding and how EPA-deflned "qualifying green projects" may be used for non-traditional projects. Commission staff will examine options under the 208 Plan to prioritize support and funding for non- traditional technologies, Deliverable: Memorandum to include opportunities for and barriers to increasing IUP eligibility and ranking for projects related to specific water resources, and options under the 208 Plan to prioritize support and funding for non-traditional technologies. Task 5: Solutions Using the information gathered in Tasks 1-4, Commission staff will create guidance for CCIWPF member towns on how to structure projects to achieve high SRF ranking. In addition, Commission staff will develop a conceptual project for review and discussion with DEP and CWT staff to create a strategy for how that project could be included on the IUP. Deliverable: Guidance on hove to structure project applications to achieve high SRF ranking and development of a conceptual project to create a strategy for inclusion on the IUP.

This report is intended to provide a review of the scenarios under which a reduced interest rate would be possible while still maintaining financial sustainability to ensure that the program is available to Barnstable County residents far the foreseeable future. 1.2 About the Community Septic Management Loan Program The Barnstable County Community Septic Management Loan Program (CSMLP) is widely lauded as an example of a highly successful public health program, with 4560 loans worth $54.2 million being made to homeowners on Cape Cod as of the date of this report. Loan funds have been used by homeowners to replace failed septic systems and cesspools with "Title 5" — compliant systems (Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, 2016) which are designed to better protect the environment and public health by improved removal of potentially harmful pathogenic organisms. Loan applicants can also utilize the funds to pay for the cost of a connection to sewer where available. Loans from the CSMLP are currently available to Barnstable County homeowners at a 5% per annum interest rate, with a 20 -year loan term. In the event of default, loans are subject to a 14% per annum interest rate. CSMLP loans are "first position" liens, meaning that in the event of foreclosure, the septic betterment gets repaid first. 1.3 Current Financial Status The CSMLP finds itself on good financial footing at the present time. New loans from the 5RF have not been needed since 2010, as the program has been able to reloan its incoming principal and interest repayments. At present however, demand for new loans is quickly depleting the available funds, such that additional borrowing from the SRF will be needed in the next 2-3 years to maintain the current pace. 1.4 Assessment Approach Financial assessments should always be approached by using as much data as possible along with good tools to process the data into something usable. This assessment uses two main components to account far the four major factors affecting program sustainability as outlined 1n Section 5. The first is a Homeowner Betterment Demand Model to predict year-to-year demand for loan funds, and a Pro Forma Financial Model to digest the data and inform the best course of action with respect to major program changes. Future homeowner demand for loans to pay for sewer connections is addressed via review of town wastewater plans. We estimate that there will be 17,000 or more new sewer connections installed over the next 10 years, with a total value of close to $200 million, accounting for inflation. It is unlikely that a large percentage of new sewer connections will result in requests for loans, so this assessment assumes that 35% of homeowners will utilize the program. The chart below shows loan demand 10 years into the past, and 10 years into the future.

This report looks at four scenarios that were designed to illuminate a wide range of options. Scenario 1 considers a 0% homeowner interest rate with a 2% interest rate on borrowing from the SRF. Scenario 2 considers a 0% homeowner interest rate with a 0% interest rate on borrowing from the SRF. Scenario 3 utilizes a sliding interest rate based on an economic means test. Horn eowners at or below a percentage of the Area Median Income (AM I) would be eligible for the 0% rate, a middle bracket at 2% interest, and an upper bracket at 4% interest. Scenario 4 is the "change nothing" scenario, wherein the interest rate to all homeowners is kept at 5%. Each of these scenarios are presented in the table below, along with: 1. 20 -year Average Coverage — See section 4.8 for detail on what "coverage" represents. PFM Financial Services recommends that a healthy loan program maintains a 1.20 coverage and above. 2. Minimum Coverage —the minimum coverage during the period of SRF loan repayment. 3. Program "Underwater" —The year in which the yearly coverage drops below one and stays there, indicating that the program is paying out mare funds in SRF repayments than it is bringing in in principal and interest payments. This column does not apply to scenarios that never drop below 1.0 coverage. 4. $ Remaining at End —The amount of funds left over after all 5RF funds have been repaid. 5. Admin Reserve Depletion --The year in which the $1.5 million Admin Reserve fund is fully depleted.

A coverage factor of 1.20 is indicated as being a "healthy" number. 1.6 Staff Recommendation Based on the results of the assessment, we are recommending selection of either scenario 3a or 3b. Given the current information, either scenario would result in a sustainable program that is able to meet a significant amount of demand for a long time to come. Investment of Barnstable County funds, while not necessary for the program to function, would serve to provide a reserve fund to help CSM LP weather any unexpected surges in loan demand for which SRF loans could not be secured in time.

Note 2 - 1 = Highest ranking, 3 = Lowest ranking April 2022 Page 8 of 29 2 Introduction In early 2021 -the Barnstable County Commissioners initiated a review of the Community Septic Management Loan Program (CSMLP), directing,staff to investigate lowering the interest rate charged by the program from 5%to 0% far betterment loans for homeowners to pay sewer connection costs. This report is intended to provide a review of the scenarios under which a reduced interest rate would be possible while still maintaining financial sustainability to ensure that the program is available to Barnstable County residents for the foreseeable future. April 2022 Page 9 of 29 3 About the Community Septic Management Loan Program 3.1 Overview The Barnstable County Community Septic Management Loan Program (CSMLP) is a division of the Department of Health and Environment. Begun in 2005, CSMLP was enabled under special legislation (Massachusetts Legislature, 2004) crafted to allow Barnstable County to borrow from the Massachusetts State Revolving Fund (SRF) for the purpose of making low-interest betterment loans to homeowners to pay for the cost of replacing failed septic systems under Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection's Community Septic Management Program (CSM P). Prior to 2005, the CSMP funds were available only to individual municipaItties. The new region -wide program would relieve the administrative burden faced by town staff and allow for greater efficiency with dedicated staff. 3.2 Loan Eligibility First and foremost, the CSMP program is intended to address onsite septic system financing needs in environmentally sensitive or threatened areas (Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, 2005). Secondly, all things being equal, loans should be preferentially distributed based on the homeowner's economic need (Massachusetts Legislature, 1994). To be eligible for a loan, the homeowner must demonstrate: That their septic system is.certified as failed by a properly licensed Massachusetts Septic System Inspector, either per the failure criteria in Title 5, or by town Board of Health regulation That their yearly income does not exceed $150,000 (unless additionally approved by DEP) That their property is not subject to excessive municipal liens 3.3 Betterment Loans to Homeowners CSMLP has been widely lauded as a successful Barnstable County public health program, with 4550 loans worth $54.2 million being made as of the date of this report. Loan funds have been used by homeowners to replace failed septic systems and cesspools with "Title S" — compliant systems (Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, 2016) which are designed to better protect the environment and public health by improved removal of potentially harmful pathogenic organisms. Loan applicants can also utilize the funds to pay for the cost of a connection to sewer where available. Loans from the CSMLP are currently available at a 5% per annum interest rate, with a 20 -year loan term. CSMLP loans are "first position" liens, meaning that in the event of foreclosure, the septic betterment gets repaid first. 3.4 Incoming Loans from the State Revolving Fund Funding far the CSMLP is in the form of loans from the State Revolving Fund, which are managed by the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust (CWT). April 2022 Page 10 of 29 COMMUNITY SEPTIC MANAGEMENT LOAN PROGRAM REVIEW 4 Current Program Financial Status 4.1 Loans from the State Revolving Fund Between 2046 and 2020, CSMLP has been in • . • . i • receipt of six SRF loans totaling $29m (see detail at 1 2006 $10.Om 0% right). At the time that these existing SRF loans 2&3 _ _ $9.Om 0% were originated, the interest rate from the SRF 4 $3,dm 0 °% was 0%. In about 2010, MassDEP increased the 5 _2008 12009 $4.Om 0% interest rate to 2%. Due to this, it was decided to 6 1 2010 $3.Om O% cease requesting new SRF loans and Instead sustain the program on the 5% per annum interest coming into the program. 4.2 Repayment to the State Revolving Fund At present, Barnstable County is responsible for a yearly debt service payment to the SRF of $1,464,211, with a current outstanding debt of $17,722,101. Debt service payments are made from the proceeds of loan principal payments received. 4.3 Betterment Loans to Homeowners CSMLP originates approximately 200 - 230 new loans each year, with a 3 -year rolling average of $3.58 million. $4.5 o $4.0 $3.5 $3.0 m $2.5 N N m $1.0 $0.5 0 $0.0 ❑ 2012 2013 2014 Loans Finalized per Year 11 2015 2016 Year 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 In total, the program has originated $54,2 million from 4560 loans since its inception. of that $54.2 million, $29 million has been funded from the State Revolving Fund, while the remaining $25.2 million has been funded by "re -loaning" money that has been received from principal and interest payments. 4.4 Homeowner Loan Repayment At present there are 1,440 loans in repayment, with a total principal repayment value of approximately $13.4 million and a total interest repayment value of $5.3 million. Yearly principal and interest repayments for existing loans are shown in the figure below.

CSMLP is working toward implementing a new billing system that will allow for electronic (email) invoicing. 4.6,5 Professional/Technical Services As arranged by the previous County Administrator, $250,000 in funds from CSMLP were used to pay the Center for Coastal Studies in Provincetown for monitoring near -share waters for nitrogen contamination due to wastewater.

As of the May 2nd, 2022 update of this report, reserves sit at $8,282,675. 4.8 Program Financial Coverage Factor The "coverage factor" is a metric used as a measure of program health that is obtained by dividing the incoming funds by the outgoing funds. In this case, incoming funds are the sum of the homeowner principal repayments plus interest. Outgoing funds are represented by debt service payments back to the SRF. At present, CSMLP receives $1,685,427 in yearly principal repayments and interest, and pays $1,464,210 in yearly debt service. The resulting coverage factor of 1.15 indicates that CSMLP receives more funds in homeowner payments that it pays out in debt service. April 2022 Page 13 of 29 5 Factors Impacting Program Sustainability There are several factors which impact the long-term financial sustainability of the CSMLP, some of which are controllable, whine others are not. This program review looked at four major factors: interest rates from the State Revolving Fund (not controllable), interest rates to homeowners (controllable), internal cash investment (controllable), homeowner loan demand (not controllable), and program administration costs (semi -controllable). 5.1 Interest Rates from the State Revolving Fund Interest rates from the State Revolving Fund are defined in 310 CMR 44.00: DEP Selection, Approval and Regulation of Water Pollution Abatement Projects Receiving Financial Assistance from the State Revolving Fund. The introductory paragraph (310 CMR 44.01) states that 'The current- standard subsidy is provided via a 2% interest, 20 -year loan, but there are opportunities for same projects to receive 30 - year loans, or lower interest rates" )Emphasis added]. Section 44.07 outlines a scenario under which a 0% interest may be available for projects that are "Nutrient Removal Projects in communities that have established Flow Neutral Land Use Controls" Barnstable County staff have inquired with the Clean Water Trust whether the 0% interest rate may be available to the CSMLP. While a formal answer is pending submittal of a formal proposal from Barnstable County, CWT staff have indicated that the 0% interest rate is potentially applicable. 5.2 Interest Rates to Loan Applicants M.G.L. Chapter 80 Section 13, Betterment Apportionment and Reapportionment (Massachusetts Legislature, n. d.) defines the amount of latitude that is available 1n terms of Ioan/betterment interest rates: ...assessments made under this chapter shall bear interest at 1 rate of 5 per cent per annum or, at the election of the city, town, or district at a rate up to 2 per cent above the rate of interest chargeable to the city, town, or district for the betterment... In relation to loans available from the SRF, which are presently at 2% (per 310 CMR 44.01), the following interest rates would be applicable to loans made to homeowners from the CSMLP: 5% OR 2%-4% If Barnstable County can secure a 0% interest rate from the SRF, the following interest rates would be applicable: 5% OR 0%-2% Per discussions with DEP and CWT staff, Barnstable County has latitude to determine the interest rate without prior approval. 5.3 Internal Cash Investment from Barnstable County If available, Barnstable County may consider making a cash investment in the CSM LP that could have an impact on the long-term financial stability of the program, April 2022 Page 14 of 29 5.4 Homeowner Demand for Loans C5ML.P has seen fluctuations in demand for loans over the years, and it is anticipated that that with significant town resources being expended to install and expand wastewater treatment that the demand will increase significantly. 5.4.1 Historical Perspective The number of loans made each month fluctuates with both market demand and the season, but on average has consistently remained around 15-19 new loan applications each month (see figure below). ;n HE Humhsr Leans f.�natiea4 AN 0n average, loans have increased in size over the past decade, with an average of $11,000 per loan in 2012 rising to an average of $13,000 in 2021 (see figure below). 40,000 Average Principal per Loan 35,600 30,000 25,004 �HI►�ri ���i ilii Ii�i�ll GId���i��Vi� I�d►�didu i2017 April 2022 Page 15 of 29 5.5 Prograrn Administration Current staffing levels at the CSMi_P have varied, peaking at 3.5 FTE and currently 1.5 FTE. The current staffing levels are adequate to maintain the current level of loan demand, however, as loan demand is expected to increase sign i€scantly, additional staffing will be needed to maintain an efficient and viable program. April 2022 Page 16 of 29 5 Assessment Approach Financial assessments should always be approached by using as much data as possible along with goad tools to process the data into something usable. This assessment uses two main components to account far the four rnajor factors affecting program sustainability as outlined in Section 5. The first is a Homeowner Betterment Demand Model to predict year-to-year demand for loan fonds, and a Pro Forma Financial Model to digest the data and Inform the best course of action with respect to major program changes. In this case the primary proposed change is an adjustment of the outgoing homeowner interest rate. 6.1 Homeowner Betterment Demand Model Year-on-year homeowner demand for loans can be difficult to assess and is highly variable depending on several factors. To develop a reasonably accurate pro forma, we reviewed each town's wastewater pians to assess haw many sewer connections or 1/A systems would be installed each year over the next ten years. This was no small task, as each town is at a different stage of planning, and no two wastewater plans provide the same amount of information. In cases where the needed information was either missing or not obvious, we contacted town officials and board members who could supply it. 6.1.1 Sewer Connections . Based on the information collected, we anticipate approximately 17,000 new sewer connections over the next 10 years. Sewer Connections by Year 2500 6 u 200o C U 1500 m 3 � 100o m 500 a ■ E 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 Z Year Data on sewer connection costs were collected via survey by the town of Chatham in 2020. For 64 single family home connections installed between 2013 and 2020, the average total cost when adjusted for inflation was $11,331, with a minimum of $3,459 and a maximum of $27,092. Using this cost, we anticipate approximately $194 million in new sewer connection installations over the next ten years. It is difficult to determine what percentage of homeowners will apply for C5MLP loans. For this report, we assumed 35%, resulting in a demand of $62.9 million over 10 years.

As of the date of this report, I/A's are not being widely considered, but we expect that to change 1n the near term as a batch of very promising technologies work their way through the approval pipeline. As such, i/A's are not considered in this portion of the model but will likely be included in subsequent updates. 5.1.3 Existing Title 5 Replacement Demand At present, the 3 -year rolling average is $3.58 million, which is about $0.5 million above the average during the mid -2010's. The model considers a flat $3.0 million for each year from 2022-2032, plus 3% inflation.

The model has several inputs and outputs as described below. 5.2.1 Model Inputs • Currently Available Funds ■ Admin Reserve Amount ■ Amount to be loaned out over the next 10 years ■ Amount to be prepaid over the next 10 years • Admin cost per year and growth rate factor ■ Borrower financing terms for outgoing homeowner loans and incoming SRF loans • Year -by -year homeowner repayment information (principaI and interest) for existing loans ■ Year -by -year 5RF debt service 6.2,2 Model Outputs • Average coverage over 20 years • Minimum coverage over loan repayment period • Ending fund balance • Required borrowing to sustain program April 2022 Page 19 of 29 COMMUNITY SEPTIC MANAGEMENT LOAN PROGRAM REVIEW 7 Pro Forma Scenarios The approach described above gives a great deal of flexibility and allows far the review of different interest rate and investment scenarios with a few keystrokes. This report looks at four scenarios that were designed to illuminate a wide range of options. "Tweaks" to these four scenarios can easily yield different and perhaps more favorable results and do bear some consideration. 7.1 How to Interpret the Scenarios. Each scenario is simplified down to three inputs, which are shown in the first table of each section. Two of the inputs are controllable by Barnstable County: The outgoing interest rate, and the amount of cash investment. Loans from the SRF are entirely dependent on a decision made by Mass DEP and the CWT. The second table in each section represents the model output and includes five elements: 6. 20 -year Average Coverage —See section 4.8 for detail on what "coverage" represents. PFM Financial Services recommends that a healthy loan program maintains a 1.20 coverage and above. 7. Minimum Coverage—the minimum coverage during the period of SRF loan repayment. 8. Program "Underwater" —The year in which the yearly coverage drops below one and stays there, indicating that the program 1s paying out more funds in SRF repayments than it is bringing 1n in principal and interest payments. This column does not apply to scenarios that never drop below 1.0 coverage. 9. $ Remaining at End —The amount of funds leftover after all SRF funds have been repaid. 10. Admin Reserve Depletion -- The year in which the $1.5 million Admin Reserve Fund is fully depleted. April 2022 Page 20 of 29 COMMUNITY SEPTIC MANAGEMENT LOAN PROGRAM REVIEW 7.2 Scenario 1 Scenario 1 is the "lust move ahead" scenario, wherein the outgoing interest rate is dropped to zero percent, but Barnstable County is unable to secure zero percent loan funding from the Clean Water Trust. Scenario 1 is further broken into two sub -scenarios, a and b, with Barnstable County investing either $0 or $S.Om in County funds respectively. It is important to note that per our reading of Massachusetts "Betterment Law" (M.G.L. Chapter 80 Section 13), that this scenario would be impossible — Barnstable County could not borrow at 2% and loan out at 0%. Additionally, CSMLP does not have adequate funds an hand to handle an increased load without going back to the SRF for additional funds. 7.2.1 Scenario 1a Loans to Clients 0% 20 -year Average Minimum Coverage Coverage 0.96 Loans from CWT BC Investment 2% $0 Program $ Remaining at Admin Reserve "Underwater" End Depletion 0.82 Year 7 $m Year 9 7.2.2 Scenario 1b Loans to Clients Loans from CWT 0% 2% 20 -year Average Minimum Program Coverage Coverage "Underwater" 1.04 0.82 Year 9 BC Investment $5m $ Remaining at Admin Reserve End Depletion $rn Year 11 April 2022 Page 21 of 29 COMMUNITY SEPTIC MANAGEMENT LOAN PROGRAM REVIEW 7.3 Scenario 2 Scenario 2 mirrors scenario 1 above but reflects Barnstable County being successful in securing a 0% interest rate from the SRF. 7.3.1 Scenario 2a Loans to Clients D/ 20 -year Average Minimum Coverage Coverage 1.13 0.99 7.3.2 Scenario 2b Loans to Clients 0% 20 -year Average Minimum Coverage Coverage 1.22 1.02 Loans from CWT BC Investment 0% $V Program $ Remaining at Admin Reserve "Underwater" End Depletion $2m Year 22 Loans from CWT 0 BC Investment $5m Program $ Remaining at Admin Reserve "Underwater" End Depletion $5m Year 2.2 April 2022 Page 22 of 29 7.4 Scenario 3 Scenario 3 uses a sliding scale interest rate that is income -based for a more equitable distribution of available funds. The following table is an example of a possible sliding scale scenario based on certain breakpoints in Area Median Income (AMI): B% 120% of Area Median Income (AMI) and below 50% 2% 120% of AMI and up to 180%AM1 35%- 4% 180%AMI and above 15% 5cenaria 3 also uses a blended SRF interest rate, where 75% of the amount borrowed would be at 0%, while 25% would be borrowed at 2%. 7.4.1 Scenario 3a Loans to Clients Loans from CWT BC Investment Sliding D% & 2% $0 20 -year Average Minimum Program $ Remaining at Admin Reserve Coverage Coverage "Underwater" End Depletion 1.23 1.10 $7m 7.4.2 Scenario 3b.

They are also legally impossible as the legislation enabling betterments would not allow Barnstable County to loan at D% interest on a 2% interest SRF loan. 8.2 Scenario 2a —NOT RECOMMENDED This scenario leaves the CSMLP in a very bad financial position 8.3 Scenario 2b —NOT RECOMMENDED While marginally better than Scenario 2a, this scenario would require an investment of $5 million of county funds that would do little to stabilize the program over the long term and could likely be better used elsewhere. 8.4 Scenario 3a and 3b -RECOMMENDED Scenarios 3a and 3b represent a compromise between the desire to reduce the interest rate significantly, while maintaining program sustainability into the foreseeable future. There are additional decisions to be made if this scenario were selected, namely the income cutoff points for each of the interest rates, and the interest rates themselves. 8.5 Scenarios 4a and 4b— NOT RECOMMENDED If the goal of this exercise is to lower the interest rate to make a program that is more accessible and equitable, then this scenario is not recommended. 8.6 Summary of Recommendations 1b Same as la except BC put in $5m. 2a 3 Leave program in a precarious position, and no funds left at the "end". 2b 2 Not recommended — not a healthy financial situation. 3a 1 Strong, sustainable program. 3b 1 Strong, sustainable program with good reserves. 4a 2 Doesn't meet the goal of lower interest rate. 4b 2 Doesn't meet the goal of lower interest rate. April 2022 Page 26 of 29 COMMUNITY SEPTIC MANAGEMENT LOAN PROGRAM REVIEW 8.7 Ongoing Review Regardless of what scenario is selected, the analysis completed in this report should be renewed each year to account for the unforeseen and to ensure that the program daesn't "drive off a cliff" unexpectedly. April 2022 Page 27 of 29 COMMUNITY SEPTIC MANAGEMENT LOAN PROGRAM REVIEW 9 Review Process 9.1 Initial Review by Barnstable County Commissioners On February 2n�, 2022, an initial draft report was presented to the Barnstable County Commissioners for an initial review. A unanimous affirmative vote was made to accept the recommendations of this report (that being scenario 3), and to engage a process of soliciting comment. 9.2 Stakeholder Comment A limited set of stakeholders were solicited for review of the report to assess the degree of support from the various town agencies. Presentations were given to the fallowing: • Cape Cod Municipal Management Association -- February 101h, 2422 ■ Cape Cod and Islands Selectmen and Councilors Association — February 11th, 2022 • Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative— March 10th, 2022 • Cape and Islands Heaith Agents Coalition —April 21St, 2022 (Via Email) Feedback was substantively positive. Most questions revolved around the use of funds for 1/A technologies and the ability to make loans for systems deed in failure due to nutrient reduction issues. The Cape Cod Selectmen and Councilors Association voted to send a letter of support for the changes to the Barnstable County Commissioners.

JfA 41 ti, W Mayflower, Mianthemurr? canadensis. Photo by Sue Machie What I'm Thinking... A How did that happen? by Andrew Gottlieb, ,Executive Director In the world of advocacy, the establishment of priorities and the allocation of resources, nothing good happens by accident. This adage is especially true when the issue requiring attention has a serious "yuck factor" associated with it. No issue is inherently yuckier than wastewater and yet it requires, and is getting, serious attention at the state level. This is great news, and it is no accident. The big steps forward we are seeing are the result of years of our persistent, steady, and relentless advocacy—supported by members with vision and loyalty --to ensure that state officials from the governor on down understand and prioritize water quality on Cape Cod. Our efforts continue to pay dividends. In just the month of May alone, the Baker administration announced three major initiatives that have enormous significance to Cape Cod's future. The most transformative proposal is the inclusion of $200 million in the governor's supplemental FY22 budget to additionally capitalize the Cape and Islands Water- Protection Fund and to provide principal forgiveness for loans issued through the revised Community Septic Management Program. Loan forgiveness would be on a sliding scale with 50 percent forgiven to borrowers at or below 120 percent Area Median Income (AMI), 25 percent for those between 120 percent and 180 percent AU and none for borrowers above 180 percent. This plugs a major hole in the funding support to homeowners and will make sewer connections much more affordable for the year-round population. The governor's proposal for homeowner assistance builds directly on the APCC proposal, recently adopted by the Barnstable County Commissioners, to eliminate the interest charges for some borrowers on loans to upgrade septic systems and to connect homes to sewer systems. The other important proposals are less likely to catch the eye of the public but have no less long-term significance. Through the Department of Environmental Protection's State Revolving Fund (SRF) program guidelines, the administration is proposing to ensure that funding goes to the highest priority projects statewide. After significant APCC input, DEP recently released guidelines for public comment that clearly establish Cape nutrient management projects In the highest tier of projects. These guidelines will ensure that Cape towns will continue to have access to zero percent SRF loans to finance municipal projects and keep the costs to property taxpayers as low as possible. Changes are also coming to the rules that govern the installation of septic systems to finally establish standards for septic systems to reduce their impact on water quality. The proposal requires higher levels of nutrient reduction and creates incentives for towns to invest in wastewater treatment where septic technology limitations prevent achievement of water quality goals. The rules governing septic system installation have not been revised since 1994. Changes to these rules are hard because there are so many competing forces pushing against one another, but kudos to DEP for potting together a working group, of which APCC is a part, that has hammered out a proposal tuned to the unique needs of Cape Cod. Taken individually, each of these proposals is important and very helpful. Seen together, they reflect a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to strategic improvements to rules, regulations, and funding priorities from an engaged leadership throughout state government that has listened and responded to our concerns. it is not just Governor Baker and Lt. Governor Polito who have prioritized Cape water quality, but also Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs Beth Card, DEP Commissioner Martin Suuberg and DEP Deputy Commissioner Gary Moran. These career environmental professionals, along with the elected leadership, have heard us and continue to provide the tools we need to improve our own waters. Again, none of this has happened by accident. APCC staff have doggedly been making the case about water quality and offering a comprehensive response strategy, day in and day out, and the effort has paid I _ •--�%'i ' I u� �f:' , tl y ; �d�?��i"�.4•' -'fir `�! �♦{1SL`'WA�� � 'f"n�S-ice - _ �• ' M: � 6 � ' �_ 'r7' �v ��"'�'.�C�iiii�•�tY �i; '.ti, �' �L-i`�•'= 5;�._ �J�r�t'i4.*:.'i` _�:�rta3L�s� „�.

The proposed changes simplify and clarify the hierarchy of priorities for the allocation of low and no interest loans from the SRF. The revised ranking system properly and clearly places the funding of nutrient management projects so critical to the restoration of the Cape's degraded estuaries in the highest tier for priority funding. This formal recognition of the importance of assuring Cape municipalities of their access to SRF financing sends an important signal that will encourage ongoing efforts to continue. The 5RF program is both the backbone of municipal finance strategies for all Cape towns as well as the key to accessing additional subsidy from the Cape and Islands Water Protection Fund. The proposed revisions to the SRF funding criteria provide additional assurance to Cape towns that their access to the Fund's 25% subsidy provided will continue. The enhanced access to the SRF assured by the Department's proposal and the ongoing cost relief provided by the Fund are complimentary strategies that are essential if the newly developed momentum for water quality restoration on Cape Cod is to continue. We urge the Department to adopt these criteria as originally proposed.

Polito Martin 5uu6arg Lieutenant GQVernaf Commissioner Public Hearing Notice Revised Clean Water State Revolving Fund criteria. for 2022 Project Evaluation Form The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), Division of Municipal Services, is proposing revisions in the method used to score and rank Project Evaluation Forms (PEFs) for Clean Water construction projects seeking financial assistance through the Commonwealth's State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan program. The proposed scoring system will categorize incoming Clean Water PEF construction proposals into one of five Tier Categories, each having a set point value. Additional points can be assigned based on documented public health impacts and environmental criteria. The Tier categories are designed to identify the most significant clean water project proposals in terms of public health and/or environmental impacts. The proposed revisions are an attempt to further ensure that Clean Water projects addressing the greatest environmental and/or public health needs are given priority for SRF financing assistance.

TTY# MassReiay Service 1.800.439-2370 Mass0EP Website' www.mass.govldep Printed on Recycled Paper Rev. 5/18/2022 Clean Water State Revolving Fund Proposed Revised Criteria for Project Evaluation BACKGROUND The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), Division of Municipal Services (the Division), is proposing revisions to the method used to score and rank Project Evaluation Forms (PEFs) for Clean Water construction projects seeking financial assistance through the Commonwealth's State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) loan program. 'The Division is proposing to revise the ranking system for the CWSRF construction to mhTor the five Tier System being implemented for the Drinking Water SRF construction since 2014. Under the proposed `1 ter Classification System, incoming CWSRF construction PEF proposals wil l be classified into one of five tiers, each having a set point base value, to identify the most significant proposals to improve and protect water quality and public health in the Commonwealth. The Tier System links SRF financing with primary factors that address or avert threats to public health or the environment, or address compliance and enforcement components, and with secondary factors such as affordability, population, energy savings, sustainable development, watershed management enhancement, Best management practices are also given importance under the revised system. The Tier System is designed such that even if a project qualifies for the maximum amount of secondary factor points, the project cannot be elevated to a higher tier. Public Hearing Pursuant to the provisions for adequate alternative public access to agency hearings, set forth in Section 20 of Chapter 20 of the Acts of 2021, an Act Extending Certain COVID-19 Measures Adopted During the State of Emergency, a public hearing on the Proposed Clean Water SRF 5 -Tier Project Evaluation System will take place virtually and via telephone on Friday June 24, 2022, at 10 AM. Register in advance for this meeting: littps://usO6web.zoom.us/meeting/revister/tZOvce2gpijzsHtEHaiwN4EH4pYtnOQPQSFpt In addition, oral and written testimony will be accepted relative to the Department's proposed revised scoring/ranking system for future Clean Water SRF construction PEFs. Those desiring to provide written testimony must submit to the Division, via email to Maria.Pinaud a_,mass.gov, no later that the close of business on Friday June 24, 2022. MassDEP will talce into consideration the testimony received prior to finalizing and implementing the revised scoring and ranking criteria for the Clean Water construction Project Evaluation Form starting with the 2023 SRF project solicitation that opens in July 2022. PROPOSED TIER CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM To develop the five Tier System, the Division reviewed past CWSRF construction Project Priority Lists (PPL) spanning over the past five years to ensure the proposed tier classification is consistent with previous PPL rankings. The environmental and human health criteria remain unchanged from the previous ranking system with the exception that the assignment of points has been revised to accommodate the five Tiers Classification System parameters. The projects base points are 500 points for Tier V, 400 points for Tier IV, 300 points for Tier III, 200 points for Tier II and 100 points for Tier 1. Additional points can be assigned based on documented public health impacts, environmental criteria and the Department's priorities as indicated in the accompanying CWSRF point assignment matrix (appendix A). The total additional points add up to 97 so that projects cannot be elevated to a higher tier. The project ranking is then defined within and across tiers to develop the Project Priority List and the intended Use Plan. The possible priority ranking range is a maximum of 597 points for a Tier V project to a minimum of 100 points for a Tier I project. Tier V is the highest priority tier. The tier system approach greatly enhances MassDEP's review of proposed projects and improves consistency. The proposed scoring system is an attempt to further ensure that Clean Water projects addressing the greatest environmental and/or public health needs are given priority for SRF financial assistance. TIER V PROJECTS: 500 Points Descrition: Clean Water projects proposed by applicants to eliminate or mitigate documented high threats to public health and/or high impacts to the environment to address noneompliance under high level enforcement (HLE) orders, or projects being implemented consistent with an area -wide wastewater management plan under section 208 of the federal Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1288 or a suitable equivalent plan determined by the Department of Environmental Protection, or projects to comply with other water pollution control requirements.

The following summarizes the information for Tier IV: • Projects proposed to address/correct a significant public health and environmental threat that would result from a POTW treatment facility exceeding its planned useful life cycle with doeunttented signs offallure or deficiencies that indicate imminent component failure, which have been identified in a MassDEP-approved Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan (CWMP) or Facility Plan. If the threat remains unaddressed customers and the environment may be subject to unsafe conditions. An aging treatment plant would have at least one component that is creating significant deficiencies that impact the entire system. • Projects proposed to address a major conveyance system component failure. Although not the sole component of a wastewater system, loss of a particular pump station, force main, or interceptor, which would affect 25% or more of the flows being conveyed to the treatment works. Exp: • Serious and repetitive PCTW malfunctions that, if left unresolved, could result in permit violations. ■ Projects would include replacement of a critical force main or interceptor that is in danger of becoming unusable. • Relining or replacement of a sewer force main showing more than one break over the past 5 years. • Replacing or operationally failing. • Replacement or upgrade of a wastewater treatment facility that is approaching or exceeding its planned useful life and has experienced numerous deficiencies and required repairs over the past 3 years. upgrading a critical pump station that has become structurally or compromised due to documented deficiencies and is in danger of TIER III PROJECTS: 30q Points _Description: Clean Water projects proposed to eliminate or mitigate documented threats toup blic health and/or impacts to the environment by addressing pollutant discharges and system failures that are not under an enforcement order or HLE to be completed and are proactive in nature to avoid a worsening problem. Examples: • Collection systems that have records of failure. ■ Combined Sewer Overflow abatement projects that are neither included in a MassDEP- approved Long -Term CSO Control Plan nor in an FILE order. ■ Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) abatement projects not included in a MmDEP-approved CWMP or Engineering Report, nor required under a High Level Enforcement (HLE) order.

Although the infrastructure components may be currently operating with only minor problems, rehabilitation or replacement is proposed to proactively address the issue before problems occur. Examples: • Replacing a facility's pumps or other component that leave approached the end of their planned useful life expectancy before there is a problem. • Repairing/replacing aged lines that have experienced occasional breaks over the past few years • Installing a pump station that reached its useful fife cycle without issues. ■ Inflow and Infiltration (VI) removal projects, that are recommended in III Abatement Plans, SSES Reports, or other V1 Assessments. (Municipality does not have capacity related SSOs.) ■ Stormwater remediation, as recommended in a watershed assessment, diagnostic feasibility study or other assessment report that identifies stormwater as a source of water quality impairment. TIER I PROJECTS: 100 Points Description: Clean Water projects that focus on nonpoint source or wastewater pollution abatement, based on recommendations from local planning studies. Projects would not target an ongoing contamination issue, or projects that do not pose a threat to sensitive receptors. Examples: • Landfill capping. • Brownfield remediation. Pollution prevention. • Climate resiliency. • Sewer Extensions not included in a MassDEP-approved wastewater management plan. ASSIGNMENT OF ADDITIONAL POINTS Additional points will be assigned in accordance with Appendix A, provided that appropriate supporting documentation is submitted with the PEF, for the following: A. Public Health Impacts Describe the cause of the problems, discussing how the problem affects the resource(s).Substantiate problems using documentation such as a Watershed Management Plan, CWMP, Project Engineering Report (PER), sampling and lab results, or Board of Health records. Applicants must make direct connection between resources affected and documentation submitted. On a project site map, show location of resources affected (public and private drinking water supplies, private homes, public streets and parklands, etc.) 1) Public Drinking Water Supply, as defined in 314 CMR 22.02 htt s:llwww.mass. ovldoc1310-cnu-22Q�-the-massachusetts-drinkin - water -regulations ), is located within the project area. Document impacts to the supply via laboratory analysis or reports. If the supply is the only source available to the supplier, please note. For groundwater supplies, documentation must consist of sampling at either the withdrawal points or within the Zone II at a MassDEP Drinking Water Program -approved monitoring location. For example, in the case of nitrogen contamination, total N of 5 ppm or greater would demonstrate the existence of an impact, provided that the elevated concentration can be related to the problem, considering factors such as the existence of other potential pollution sources, the location of the wells in relation to the problem area, and the strata from which the groundwater is drawn. Document all potential hydrogeological impacts to a public drinking water supply. 2) Private Drinlung Water Supply refers to private wells within the project area that are shown via sampling analysis to be affected by waterbome pollutants. Affected wells should be pointed out on the site map. Laboratory results should be provided to help delineate the areal extent, the type, and the level of contamination. Have alternatives such as connection to another source or point-of-use/point-of-entry systems been evaluated? 3) Private Homes refers to any residence affected by sanitary sewer back- up from a municipal sewer system into the. home, Some evidence of the back-up and how the project will mitigate or eliminate impacts should be presented. Boards of Health reports or reports from the local sewer authority are acceptable documentation. 4) Public Streets or Parklands refers to incidences of raw sewage flowing directly into public streets or parkland areas that would increase the potential for exposure to people. Such incident locations should be noted on the site map. Documentation from the Board of Health or the local sewer authority should be supplied. 5) Swimming Areas. A designated swimming area that is posted, maintained, and monitored by a health or recreation agency and that has a documented closure(s) Documentation should include an explanation haw the project will improve or eliminate these impacts. 6) Boating Areas. An area of the affected water- body that has identified public access points and a documented impact on these locations. 7) Sensitive Population Affected. This refers to a concentration of population which would be expected to be particularly at -risk via exposure. Applicable populations would include Environmental Justice populations as well as schools, nursing homes and hospitals served by a private well, or whose grounds are affected directly by contamination. 8) Population Affected, The project -specific population immediately impacted or served by the proposed project, as applicable. 9) EJ communities. Either affected by it, or serviced by project. I Environmental Criteria Natu re of the environmental problem encountered Briefly and in narrative form, describe the nature and extent of any problems identified in the checklist, discussing the manner in which the problem affects the resources) noted. 1) Aquatic Toxicity - Project addresses receiving water toxicity problem. The 303(d) list includes aquatic toxicity as impairment for some waterbodies. The PEF makes a connection between the project and a decrease in toxicity (such as the need for the addition or upgrading of dechlorination). CSO and SSO projects that attempt to reduce III are not presumed to address aquatic toxicity without documentation. Note that pathogens are not considered aquatic toxicity. 2) Nutrients -Defined as (upcoming or existing) impairment as documented in the 303(d) list (such as the need to upgrade treatment to address phosphorus from a wastewater treatment facility or to sewer an area upstream of a 303(d) list nutrient impaired pond), treatment plants, collection systems and/or alternative technologies listed in an area -wide wastewater management plan under section 208 of the federal Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1288; or a suitable equivalent plan determined by the Department of Environmental Protection whose primary purpose reducing nutrient load to estuaries experiencing water quality declines due to nitrogen enrichment as documented in a MEP Technical Report, a TMDL or a 303(d) listing. 3) Bacteria - The presence of coliform bacteria or E. Coli in a drinking water source orreceiving water or enterococcus in a water Body, as determined with analytical data. The 303(4) listing of "pathogens" is acceptable evidence of 6 bacteria] contamination. The information presented in the PEF should provide the data and the relevant limit exceeded or threatened (pennit limit, drinking water Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL), swimming (beach)). Problems that are assumed to contribute to exposure to bacteria include CSOs, SSOs, on-site system breakouts, and on- site systems within groundwater. 4) Turbidity Suspended particles in a waterbody as a result of human activity. The 303(d) list includes turbidity as a problem for some waterbodies. Examples of projects addressing turbidity include nonpoint stormwater projects and treatment of phosphorus to reduce algae growth. CSOs and SSOs are presumed to cause increased turbidity. 5) Dissolved Oxygen - PEF shows a dissolved oxygen impairment in receiving water as documented in the 303(d) or other DEP-accepted report and must demonstrate that the proposed project will mitigate or eliminate the problem. 5) Temperature - PEF shows a temperature impairment in receiving water as documented in the 303(d) or other DEP-accepted report and must demonstrate that the proposed projectwill mitigate oreliminate the problem. 7) Noxious Aquatic Plants - For the purposes of this PEF, "noxious aquatic plants" refers to the excessive growth of plant species in or near a waterbody, affecting the water quality and habitat. Documentation includes listing on the 303(d) list, diagnostic/feasibility studies, or Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) reports. Proposed project must mitigate the noxious weed problem. S) Aesthetics - Floating solids, strong odors and discoloration of a waterbody indicate aesthetic concerns. These may be documented in the 303(4) list. CSOs and SSOs are both assumed to include floating solids and therefore, would be considered to present an aesthetics concern. Demonstration of visual aesthetic concerns should include photos, with accompanying report and date, location, duration or intensity and person observing the problem. Official town reports are the appropriate documentation. Environmental resources affected Describe whether the targeted pollution is shown to have a direct and adverse impact on the resources listed below, is within the project area, and whether the project scope will address the documented issue. 9) Public Water Supply— Surface Water Zone or Zone B: — It is defined at 310 CMR 22.02. Generally, Zone B is the secondary area of protection surrounding the Zone A of a Public Water supply. Points are available only for Zone A or Zone B, not both. Points will be given if the project area is within the Public Water Supply- pane B only if points were not awarded for Zone A. 10) Public Water Supply —Ground Water Zone I or Lone H: —It is defined at 310 CMR 22.02. Generally, Zone 11 is the secondary area of protection surrounding the Zone I of a Public Water supply. Points are available only for Zone I or Zone H, not both. Points will be given if the project area is within the Public Water Supply- Zone IT only if points were not awarded. for Zone I. 11) Outstanding Resource Water (ORW) — Defined at 314 CMR 4.0 h s:llwwkv.mass. ovlfiles/documents/2016/111nv1314cmr04, dt . These waters include public water supplies and their tributaries, Vernal pools and waters protected by Special Legislation are also ORWs. 12) Areas of Critical Environmental Concerns (ACEC): The Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) designates ACECs within the Commonwealth. These areas include marshlands, embayrnents, unique habitats, and swamps. Discharge does not need to be directly into an ACEC. 13) Commercial Fishery/Shellfish Area - There are 303 shellfish growing areas designated by the Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF), with six classifications ranging from "Approved" to "Prohibited". There are also data layers in MassGIS for "Designated Shellfish Growing Areas" and "MA DMF Lobster Harvest Zones". Applicant must demonstrate that water duality improvement due to project implementation may expand an area available for harvesting, or extend periods when beds/areas are open. 14) Endangered Species Habitat - Areas identified in the Massachusetts Natural Heritage Atlas . There are also data layers in MassGIS, but they are only available by special request to the Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (AIHESP). Points will be given if the project area is within the Endangered Species Habitat area. 15) Sole Source Aquifer (SSA) - The seven SSAs designated by CIS EPA, shown as the "EPA Designated Sole Source Aquifers" data layer of MassGIS. Applicant must demonstrate that the aquifer is hypwted the water quality problem and the project will mitigate the problem. 16) Ocean Sanctuary - The five areas described in M.G.L. c.132A, s.13. Project must be demonstrated to improve water quality entering a designated Ocean Sanctuary. This item refers to areas where water currently discharges to the designated Ocean Sanctuary, and water quality would be improved by the project. 17) Recreational Fisheries/Shellfish Area - Project area would include a water body with uses that have historically included recreational fishing or shellfishing. Implementation of the project should be expected to improve water quality sufficiently to allow for a return or expansion of the fish population. 18) Federally/State Designated River or Estuary or Freshwater Pond! - Certain federal designations impart a higher level of significance to those rivers so designated. Federal designations include National Wild and Scenic Rivers. The proposed project would have to improve the water quality of a federally designated river. MassDEP has expanded this category to include rivers included in the most recent 13iomap product as Core Habitat. Generally, communities bordering the mainstem of the designated river are considered to have the potential for direct impact; or an estuary or freshwater pond within a jurisdiction covered by an area - wide wastewater management plan under section 208 of the federal Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1288; or (ii) a suitable equivalent plan determined by the Department of Environmental Protection C. Program and Implementation Criteri Consistency with EEA/MassDEP Watershed Management Plans or Priorities. This section is intended to measure the extent to which this project implements planning recommendations or implements State or Federal requirements. Information supplied by the applicant will indicate the extent to which the applicant has explored and considered various options available. Points are awarded only for one planning cate o . 1) implements a recommendation Identify and describe how, and to what extent, the project implements or is consistent with one or more current priorities identified through Water Resource and Wastewater Planning, such as an EEA Watershed Management Plan; a CWMP, a Project Engineering Report (PER), a MassDEP-approved targeted watershed management plan, an area -wide wastewater management plan under section 208 of the federal Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1288; or (ii) a suitable equivalent plan determined by the Department of Environmental Protection, a Comprehensive Performance Evaluation (CPE), a Sewer System Evaluation Survey (SSSS) (PER Level), a Stormwater Management Plan, a Water Quality Assessment Report, or a Diagnostic/Feasibility Study.

Projects resulting from an audit/assessment/study will receive double the number of points for projects without energy audits. Include the applicable portion of the audit and an explanation of the energy savings expected from the project. Will the project implement an energy efficiency measure? If the project includes implementation of an energy efficient measure or installation of a more efficient resource, calculate the percent energy savings expected due to the proposed project, Energy savings will be the kW hours expected to be saved by the energy efficient resource, in relation to total 1cW hours of the entire facility (i.e. the pump station or treatment plant) per year and expressed as a percentage. New installations, such as premium motors or variable frequency drives, are only eligible if they are upgrades to an existing facility. New facilities are not eligible for energy efficiency points unless they employ LEED design. Projects which reduce energy consumption over 25% will get points for `'Substantial Energy Efficiency (EE)", Projects which reduce energy consumption between 10-25% will get points for "Moderate EE". Projects which reduce energy consumption up to 10% will get points for "Nominal EE". 6) Renewable Energy Relative benefit of the project - Indicate if the project was recommended by a third -party energy audit, assessment or feasibility study.

Subject: Dive Into Summer Fun! Baker's Pond SUBSCRIBE 000 From the BPC President Members and Friends, It was wonderful to see so many members and friends take part in our hosted events over the past several months, including eco -paddles, hike rides, a hike, tours at the amazing permagardens at Terra Firma, and an informative invasive freshwater plant workshop. The most important event, however, was the Brewster Ponds Summit 2022 co-sponsored with the Town of Brewster. The number one priority of the Brewster fonds Coalition this year is to help motivate the community to fund a comprehensive, updated water protection plan that addresses ways to prevent phosphorus and nitrogen from septic systems from leaching into and polluting our freshwater ponds, the bay, and our sole source aquifer. This year's Pond Summit was an important first step toward educating the community about this need. At the summit, a panel of experts defined the problem, explained sewering and alternative septic system options, and discussed funding opportunities. As we learned at the summit, alternative septic systems capable of removing nitrogen and phosphorus will likely be an important component of the solution for Brewster. In response, the BPC invited Zenas "Zee" Crocker, executive director of the Barnstable Clean Water Coalition, to be the guest speaker at our annual meeting on August i3th. Zee will be talking to us about how the BCWC initiated and is funding a three-year alternative septic system pilot program involving 14 homes around Shubael Pond in Marston Mills. I hope you will join us for the August i3th Annual Meeting and for the other activities we have planned for this summer. Best wishes for a happy and healthy summer. Susan Bridges P®nd SUMMit 2022 Focuses on Brewster Septic Challenges Brewster Ponds Coalition Brewster Ponds Coalition The Brewster Ponds Summit 2022 was held on the morning of Friday, June 17, at the Brewster Baptist Church. The smumit focused on the impact of septic system nutrient loading to groundwater and ponds. Septic systems are by far the largest contributor to the pollution of our groundwater, freshwater ponds, and saltwater hays and estuaries. While the town has done an excellent job protecting its deep public drinking water wells througli land acquisitions over many years, much less attention has been provided to the biggest tlireat to groundwater and ponds: septic system nutrient loading. It is estimated that as much as 85% of the nutrients polluting our waters originate from septic systems. images cotirtesy of Bz22 PameroY 3 f U a A Leaders and administrators from the town's Select Board, Department of Natural Resources, Department of Public Works, Health Department, Conservation, Planning and Water Departments were all in attendance as five expert panelists provided an overview of how Title 5 septic systems work explaining how these systems provide little nutrient reduction as wastewater Mows out of septic system leach fields into groundwater and ponds..

Sunset of Duck Harbor, Wellfleet. Photo by Sue Machie What I'm Thinking... I It's Not All About the Benjamins by Andrew Gottlieb, Executive Director Sitting through a recent discussion about a town's assessment of wastewater management options, 1 heard a lot about cost effectiveness of competing approaches. The adequacy of this approach is limited in a few ways, particularly the deference often given to the option that has the lowest first cost. Public sector managers often behave as if the overall life cycle cost of an .option is not ultimately fully borne by the public and consumes any perceived short- term savings from the cheapest option. Another limitation is -the failure to adequately value time and ignoring that living with degraded water quality is a cost to society? and the environment. Wastewater management options that have long phasing horizons, or rely on waiting until some new septic technological silver bullet emerges, force residents to live with degraded resources for longer. That time delay is almost never monetized.and applied to the cost benefit analyses. Also ignored are the present costs of a degraded environment, let alone the implications of worsening conditions that inevitably accompany delayed action. Were either or both societal costs considered, different decisions would be made. The societal value of the speed and certainty of nutrient reduction that cones from collection and treatment would be differently considered if the delayed benefit of sole reliance on as yet approved or proven septic technologies were properly monetized and factored into decision making. While the universe will be around a long time, our individual life spans are brief. Management plans that delay the start of implementation for a decade or more that then do not result in environmental improvement for years after that on the premise that its cheaper do us all a disservice. It is often said that time is money. In this case that is partly true, but I would suggest it is more valuable than money. Governments can print money. My time, yours too, is finite. 1, for one, would like to enjoy a cleaner environment while l am alive rather than stuff a few fake savings in my pocket that i won't ever be able to spend. Congratulations! The ESC Nicholas Humber Award for outstanding Collaboration was awarded to the Coonamessett River Restoration Project in recognition of the successful transformation of 56 acres of abandoned cranberry bogs , which established a thriving, self-sustaining ecosystem supporting wildlife, increasing coastal resiliency, and providing educational opportunities. Numerous barriers to fish passage were removed including a dam, water control structures, a series of undersized culverts that were replaced with the new John Parker Road bridge, and 5,560 feet of the river were reestablished to closely match the historic natural flow of the river. Project partners spanning local, state and federal organizations (including the Association to Preserve . Cape Cod) collaborated with the technical engineering and construction teams to successfully complete this project. The restoration is serving as a catalyst for other Cape Cod communities to transform cranberry bogs across the region into thriving wildlife habitat, and educational and recreational opportunities for all.

Annual Wastewater Treatment Facility reports: a. Serenity at Brewster — 873 Harwich Road Mrs. van Hone stated that Whitewater & Wastewater was not able to attend the meeting. Mrs. von Hone wanted the Board to be aware that the facility is less than a year old and not fully occupied. There was not much to report. N:II-Iealthlfi-orn ShariWSWORKFOLDERSIMEETINGSIBOH1MarchI622m.doe b. White Flock Commons — White Rock Road Greg Brehm fram J. M. O'Reilly was in attendance for any questions. Mrs. Graczewski stated that she was glad to see that things were looking better since it was at full capacity now. There were no other questions. C. Brewster Landing — Sachemus Trail Chad Simmons from Coastal Engineering was in attendance for any questions. He stated that there was nothing of real significance to report. He stated that the Zabel filter is being cleaned monthly and routine pumping is being done. All tests showed good treatment. The dozing pumps were also replaced last year. Mrs. Graczewski asked about nitrogen testing. Mr. Simmons stated that it was not required at this facility. State guidelines did not require it and the Board of Health chose to follow the States recommendations when they approved the system. Mrs. von Hone stated that this property falls under the Small Wastewater Treatment Facilities regulation which does require a maximum of 10PPM for the site, but because the site doesn't specifically trigger nitrogen restrictions under the Title 5 regulations (not in Zone II or have a private well) and was installed under 'General" approval, nitrogen testing is not Required. d. Ocean Edge — Main Street No one was in attendance to answer any questions. The Board was ok with the report and had no questions. e. Kings Landing -- State Street Joe Henderson from Horsley Witten was in attendance for any questions. He stated that the site is stili struggling to meet the required parameters. In 2019, DEP issued an Administrative Consent Order to bring the site back into compliance. The site recently received an amended order from DEP which states that they must be in compliance by October of 2025, or they will have to apply for a Groundwater modification to update the entire Wastewater Treatment Plant. DEP asked the owners of the site (POAH) to do an action plan. That plan is currently in the works, lobs. von Hone asked if there were any particular issues that are driving the problems. Mr. Henderson stated that it could be a quintenary ammonia problem or maybe even operator error. 5. Discuss and possible vote. 54 John Wings Lane Building Waiver application — office/gym vs. bedroom Mrs, von Hone stated that new construction was approved by the Board, with variances in 2013. The property sits on the down gradient side of Upper Mill Pond. The entire site is within 300' of the edge of the pond. It is considered an Environmentally Sensitive Area. They were not able to locate the septic system greater than 300' from the pond. The project went back and forth and ultimately the house was approved for a maximum of 3 bedrooms and the system was pressure dosed. The Board at the time did allow the 3 bedrooms even though they were a bit short an the square footage. There are new owners now who have applied to renovate the space above the existing garage into an office/gym. The only access is through a main bedroom on the 2"J floor. The reason this is before the Board is because of the "no additional space" restriction that was put on the approval back in 2013 and Mrs. von Hone thought it would be better for the Board to make the decision. She stated that it was her opinion that because you can only access the room through another bedroom, and the room is not proposed to have any heat, that it is not a bedroom. Mrs. Graczewski asked if stairs were proposed so that there would be access through the outside and if there would be heat or air conditioning. Mr. Murphy stared that no stairs were planned and that this is a modular home that cannot really be changed. There will be no heat or AC. Windows only. Mr. Ford asked about having to go through a bathroom also to get to this room and stated that he wouldn't consider this room a bedroom. Mrs. von Hone stated that the recording that was done in 2013 doesn't state it is restricted to 3 bedrooms. It basically refers to the letter that was written to the owner with the Board's approval which limits it to 3 bedrooms. Motion: Finding that the room is unsuitable for a bedroom and groundwater flow is away from the pond, put a 3 -bedroom deed restriction on the property and allow the owners to finish the room above the garage for an off ice/gym• NAHealthlfrom Shari\M5WORIC FOLDERSIMEETINGMBOMMarch 1622m.doc Motion: Jae Ford Second: Kimberley Cracker Pearson Vote: Annette Graczewski — no Action: Motion carried Joe Ford — yes Jeannie Kampas — yes Kimberley Cracker Pearson — yes Penny Holeman — yes C.

Maplewood of Brewster — 824 Harwich Road Joe Smith from NSU Water was present, His company started monitoring the system in 2016. From the start there has been difficulty keeping the system in compliance. They have been working with Maplewood, the State and the Town to get the system back into compliance on a regular basis. In 2024, they worked with Bennett Environmental Associates (NSU Water) in conjunction with the engineering team to run a comprehensive evaluation of the system and make recommendations for system upgrades and potential changes. Since then, changes were made and there has been an overall improvement in the treatment performance. There were a few exceedances in 2021, but after re -testing, it was all back in the normal range.

Ryder & Wilcox — Local and State variance requests for 399 Bakers Pond Road Stephanie Sequin was present. Owner Frank Schroth was also on remotely 4 -bedroom system that has a failed leaching pit (system is from 1989) ■ Septic tank was inspected and is in good working condition but needs a tee ■ Property is 5.1 acres, of which 3.1 acres is restricted by Conservation ■ Remaining 2 acres is unrestricted and is where the home sits Well on property ■ Entire site has steep topography Only area outside the 300' pond setback and outside the 100' well setback is a higher elevation than where the house is and is not a feasible area to place a septic system ■ Water level is about 70' below the proposed SAS ■ Proposed SAS will be 258" from the pond • All new components will he more than 3' below grade ■ Components will be H2O and vented Mrs. Graczewski asked if there had been any consideration given to installing a new 1500 - gallan tank. Ms. Sequin stated that since the tank was in good working order except for the Tee and does provide 200% capacity, they didn't not include that 1n the proposal. There was talk about a deed restriction for 4 bedrooms. Ms. Sequin stated that they septic design is for 4 -bedrooms, and they wouldn't be able to go over that anyway. Motion: Finding that surface water is 70' below the bottom of the SAS, the SAS is 100' away from the well, the tank is still compliant with over 200% of capacity and this is the only feasible place to put a new, SAS, approve the variance to allow the SAS to be 258' from pond, and allow 5' of finished grade over the d -box and the SAS.

Discuss & possibly mote on Bedroom Definition Regulation and Real Estate Transfer Regulation Mrs. von Hone stated that because of a couple requests that recently came before the Board, there was confusion about what was allowed with our local reqs. Some of the language is outdated. She wants to define the definition better. She researched a few surrounding towns and modified Brewster's a bit to see what the Board thought. The same thing applies to the Real Estate Transfer Regulation. Mrs. von Hone specifically asked about a room over a garage. Whether it is heated or not, does the Board want to consider that a bedroom. She thinks it should be because there is no distinction between heated and non -heated. Dr. Pearson spoke about going through a roam to get to a room and whether it would be a bedroom and asked if the Board would be more tolerant if this were not a septic concern? Mrs. von Hone stated that it must be universal for everyone. Mrs. Kampas stated that she 1s curious about the heated vs non heated. She wants to be a bit more conservative. Dr. Pearson stated that the definition needs to be specific about the word "heated". N:1Health\from ShariIMSWORK FOLDERS1MEETTNGS1BdH\Apri12022m.dov Ms. Holeman spoke about her concerns with sunrooms and 3- season rooms. What if the owners were closing the room off from the rest of their house? Mrs. von Hone spoke about the Real Estate Transfer Regulation and told the Board that she doesn't think it should be called that anymore. Mrs. von Hone will do some revisions and bring the Bedroom Definition back to the Board. The Real Estate Transfer Regulation will be brought up again at a later meeting. S. Consent Agenda a.

Discuss Step Ladder Theory of Groups — Penny Holeman Ms. Holeman presented this to the Board to try and get an idea where the board was on that ladder. Dr. Pearson said that being on zoom is hard and she can't wait until everyone is in person and then a group dynamic could be worked on. She can't really say what number the Board is currently on but thinks they are on the base of it. Mrs. Kampas agrees with Dr. Pearson. Time is limited to public hearings. Thinks the Board is at a 2 on the ladder, Ms. Holeman also thinks the Board is at a 2 on the ladder. Spoke about the perception of what the Board can and can't say because of open meeting law. Every time someone comes or leaves the Board, they have to start all over again. Ms. Holeman said that once the Town elections are done, maybe a get together with the board would be good. 7. Liaison Reports Dr. Pearson stated that the WQRC has a meeting this Friday. S. Matters not reasonably anticipated by the Chair Mrs, Kampas told the Board that she will be moving in July and the second meeting in June will be her last. 9.

Call to order Meeting was called to order at 7:OOPM 2. Chairman's announcements As of yesterday, the CDC recommends that everyone aged 2 and aider, including passengers and workers, properly wear a well -fitting mask or respirator over the nose and mouth in Indoor areas of public transportation (such as airplanes, trains, etc.) and transportation hubs [such as airports, stations, etc.]. When people properly wear a well -fitting mask or respirator, they protect themselves and those around them, and help keep travel and public transportation Ntcr 1`or everjone. Wearing a well- fitting mask or respirator is most beneficial in crowded or poorly ventilated locations, such as airport jetways. The CDC also encourages operators of public transportation and transportation hubs to support mask wearing by all people, including employees. This public health recommendation is based on the currently available data, including an understanding of domestic and global epidemiology, circulating variants and their impact on disease severity and vaccine effectiveness, current trends in COVID-19 community levels within the United States, and projections of COVID-19 trends in the coming months. 3. Citizen's forum None 4, J.M. O'Reilly & Associates -- 235 brier Lane -'title 5 and local variance requests John O'Reilly presented this to the Board.

To allow use of a Soil Sieve Analysis for percolation testing i. To allow no reserve area j. To allow the inlet and outlet septic tank to be less than 12" above groundwater Mr, O'Reilly stated: *Currently a cesspool system that services a 2- bedroom home *This property was before the Board 2 years ago when the proposed buyer at the time was looking to tear down and rebuild a new structure. Variances were granted at that time *There is a new owner nay; who is proposing to just upgrade the septic system and leave the house as 1s "The same IIA, Fast.System with a Drip Dispersal SAS in a raised bed is being proposed as was 2 years ago *Existing well will still be used *It was determined that it would be extremely costly to bring In Town water *The SAS is positioned as far away from the down gradient wetland resource to the north *He met with the Conservation Commission 2 weeks ago and will be going back on the IO'h for final approval of the Order of Conditions Dr. Pearson stated that she noticed that a portion of the lot was in the AE zone and when she looked at the most recent FEMA maps, it showed the whole lot in the AE zone, She asked if that would change anything about the project. Mr. O'Reilly stated that it wouldn't except for him specifying that the covers that are at grade all be gasketed and sealed. Mrs. Graczewski asked about the circle with "OP" shown in the back of the house, Mr. O'Reilly stated that it was an observation plot. When freshwater wetlands are delineated, they do it through the DEP method, which means you scribe a circle 25' in diameter and count the plants. Mrs. Graczewski asked if Mr. O'Reilly knew where the current septic system is. He stated that he did not. The pipe goes into the ground under the house, Mrs, Graczewski asked how close the well was to the proposed system. He stated that is it about 50-55' away and is not upgradient to the well. Mr. Ford asked about the motion and vote in 2020. Mrs. Graczewski stated that those previously approved variances were for a tear down and rebuild with attachment to Town water. Mrs. Graczewski asked why they were not proposing Town water this time. Mr. O'Reilly stated that it would be extremely costly. Mrs. von Hone stated that she did have a conversation with the Water Superintendent who did confirm that it would be a very expensive thing to do. There was talk about well water testing results and whether the house was being lived in. Motion: Finding that the proposed 5A5 is approximately 50 — 55' from the well, the most recent well testing results showed no concerning presence of nitrogen, and the property is entirely surrounded by wetlands, approve the variances as requested. Motion: Annette Graczewski Second: Joe Ford Vote: Annette Graczewski — yes Action: Motion carried Joe Ford —yes Jeannie Kampas -yes Kimberley Crocker Pearson —yes Penny Holeman - yes 5. Continued discussion on the Bedroom Definition Mrs. von Hone presented an updated draft to the Board with changes in red. N:ftalftffum 5hsri1M5WORK FOLDERSIMESTINGSWOH1MayQ2m.doe At the last meeting there were concerns by the Board about heated vs. non heated rooms. There were also issues with the definition of a sunroomlporch. Mrs. von Hone stated that she was not looking for a vote tonight. She would like to be able to send the final draft to Town Council and then let the engineers weigh in an the definition before anything is final. Dr. Pearson spoke about other states/towns bedroom definitions, some of which included "2 means of egress" and specifically state "a window thru which a firefighter, while in full gear, can fit". Brewster's definition only states I window". Mrs. Graczewski stated that the Building Cade and Health regulations are different, Older houses would be able to meet that code which requires that type of window. Mrs. von Hone said some of the older homes have the potential to not meet building code and we would need to be careful about that. Our definition mimics the definition that is found in Title 5 regulations. The Building Code does address size of windows, specifically for those rooms that are intended for sleeping because you need access to emergency exits and entry. The Building Code does change on a fairly regular basis. Mrs. Graczewski asked what the department was using to help determine if a roam would be considered a bedroom if there was a discrepancy. Mrs. von Hone stated that she would use the Title 5 definition. Dr. Pearson asked if the goal of this revision was to apply the definition in the Title S setting or is also meant to be a public health & safety revision. If the later is true, the Board should be concerned with the size of the windows. Mrs. Graczewski stated that the purpose of the definition is to provide a greater degree of protection for the environment and public health to protect groundwater contamination and the spread of disease. She thinks it is clearly for the sizing of a septic system. Mrs. von Hone spoke about the title of the regulation and asked the Board if they wanted to keep it or change it. Mr. Ford asked if there was something that the Title 5 definition has or doesn't have that is preventing the Board from just adopting that. Mrs. von Hone stated that the definition as it stands right now Is pretty much Title 5. One of the biggest issues the department has is how to make a bedroom not a bedroom. Mrs. Graczewski stated that it also clarifies bonus roams over garages and talks about sunrooms and porches. It is her opinion that "unheated" space is not habitable space, so she wouldn't consider it a bedroom. Ms. Holeman stated that she didn't think heat mattered. Mrs. von Hone stated that typically "unheated" has not been considered a bedroom. In the proposed definition, if a sunroom is heated but has no door, it would not be considered a bedroom. Mrs. Kampas stated that the is nothing in Title 5 about "unheated" space and thinks it may be easier if the Board defines what is a bedroom and what isn`t. Also, make it clear that cased openings can't have a door or privacy screenings. She believes there is a big difference between unheated finished space and unheated storage space. She also asked about rental regulations, which she thought would solve this issue. Mrs. von Hone stated that Brewster does not have a rental regulation. Mrs. Graczewski spoke about the State Sanitary Code and the Housing Code being used as a tool for complaints, etc. Mr. Ford stated that there are a lot of cottages in Brewster that do not have heat and asked how the Board would look at bedrooms when sizing the septic. If heat was a condition, these cottages would have 4 bedrooms. Mrs. Graczewski stated that under the State Sanitary Code, you can only rent between April and October in homes with no heat. There was continued discussion on this issue, and it was decided that another draft would be drawn up and brought back to another meeting for review. g. Discuss Massachusetts Department of Public Health Excellence Grant Mrs. van Hone stated that a few years ago, legislation was being pushed by the State and they came out with proposed SAFE regulations, which would promote public health and try to make a set of standards across the board for all public health departments to meet the demands and needs for communities. Funding, staffing, and education were all included. The State is offering public health excellence grants specifically for cross jurisdictionaI sharing. The Town's an Cape Cad that choose to participate will have to have a governing board, so there will be a representative from each Town that will sit on the Board to determine how the money would be distributed. There is a lot more information needed before any decision is made. Erika Woods from Barnstable County Department of Health & Environment will be at the next Board meeting to give a presentation on this. NAHealthUfoni ShariNSWORK FOLDEASNEETFNGSIBOH\May42?m.doe 7.

Citizen's Forum None. 4. Public Health Excellence Grant presentation — Barnstable County Health — Erika Woods E(ika Woods, Deputy Di rector of Barnstah le Cou nty Health was present to g ive an overview of the g rant. in 2016, the State put together a commission to assess the effectivene-s5 and efficiencies of municipal and regional public health systems. In 2019, a report came out and these were some of the findings-. N �\Hea thNfrorn Sha ri\MSWORK FOLDERS\M EET1NGS\B0H\May1 822m.doc ■ Many MA towns & cities are unable to meet statutory requirements and even more of them lack the capacity to meet the rigorous national public health standards • MA has more local public health jurisdictions than any other state, with 351 cities & towns ■ Cross jurisdictional of sharing of services is very limited despite the evidence that approves the effectiveness and efficiency of these services • While other states have county & regional systems, most MA municipalities operate in a stand along system • Because MA lacks a comprehensive system to collect local public health data, there is limited capacity to measure local public health system performance and to use local data to pian public health improvements • MA local public health system does not adequately support the local public health workforce with standards and credentialing ■ Funding for local public health is inconsistent and inequitable, especially to address the needs and mandates of the 215r century public health system A summary of their recommendations is: ■ It is suggested that we elevate the standards for, and improve the performance of local public health departments ■ Increase cross jurisdictional sharing of public health services to strengthen the service delivery capabilities of local public health departments and take advantage of the economies & scale of coordinated planning • Improve state and local health departments planning and system accountability • Set education and training standards for public health officials and staff • Commit appropriate resources for the local public health system to address these proposed changes They have developed some programs and one of them is the Public Health Excellence grant program. Barnstable applied on the third round. What the goal ideally would be is to involve all the towns in Barnstable County in the grant program. The program is getting money to access our own region and to develop our own programs over and above what our local health departments are already able to provide:- Most of the health departments in our region have experienced staff, but the County does hear quite often that things differ from town to town. Barnstable County will get $300,000 annually. Most of it will go to staffing but there are other expenses the money can be used for (which participating towns can use). The goal is to initially mire a cross jurisdictional coordinator (program coordinator) who will work with each of the towns to "drive the bus". The State is going to put out a needs assessment survey which will advise the Governance Committee on where to go from here. The County wants the towns involved in decision making processes, Barnstable County will facilitate the project by doing the hiring and the organizing, then, from that point on, it would be on the participating towns as to what they would like to see done. There is no direct cost to the towns. It would require staff time and attendance at the Governance Committee meetings. There would need to be a commitment to data collection and a commitment to work force standards (currently there are no real standards for health agents). The State is developing "training hubs", Barnstable County has applied to be one of them. Each municipality will maintain its local authority. A couple of other key components are: • High focus on health equity and meeting those standards • Can research other funding sources There will be a presentation about this program at the Health Agents Coalition next week, Mrs. von Hone stated that even though the County is looking to be one of the "hubs", the cost of the training will still fall on the towns. Ms. Woods stated that the goal of the "hub" is to lower costs and travel time for people to obtain training. N;\Health�from 5hari\MSWORK FOLDERS\MEETINGS\BOH\Mayt522m.doc S. Continued discussion on the Bedroom Definition and possibly vote Mrs. von Hone did another revision of the definition, which was included in the packet. Changes included: removal of room over garage and changing where the privacy definition went. She noted that she did send out the draft to septic engineers and inspectors and only heard back from one. The one comment was to keep finished basements in mind while working on this definition. She also noted that currently, staff policy when reviewing floor plans was that if it was an underground basement with only "hopper" windows, it would not be considered bedroom space. Mrs. Kampas asked about the privacy sectlon, Mr. Ford thinks that it should be looked at by the Board on a case-by-case basis. Motion: Leave Bedroom Definition as written Motion: Joe Ford second: Kimberley Crocker Pearson (for discussion purposes) Mrs. Graczewski stated that she doesn't think the changes are going to be any different than what is being used currently. Ms. Holeman stated that the rational for doing this was to put some consistency in writing based on decisions that were already being made. Vote: Jeannie Kampas -- no Action: Motion denied Joe Ford —yes Annette Graczewski — no Kimberley Crocker Pearson — no Penny Holeman - no Mrs. von Hone will re do the draft again and bring it back before the Board. 6. Discussion on the Coastal Resource Management Plan, Phase 1 — Kimberley Crocker Pearson Dr. Pearson is the Chair of the Natural Resources Advisory Commission and she stated that one of the charges of that Commission is the implementation of the Coastal Resource Management Plan, Phase 1 that was finalized by the prior committee back in 2019. Within this management plan, there is a line -item title "Protecting vulnerable underground infrastructure". The recommendation is to work with the Board of Health to evaluate whether the required separation to ground water is sufficient and whether changes in the regulation are needed to prevent groundwater intrusion to wells and wastewater treatment systems. This was brought before the Board for deliberation as to whether the BOH wants to do anything differently with regards to the separation of groundwater that currently exists. Mrs. van Hone asked if there were any recommendations on what the BOH can propose. Dr. Pearson said there were not. Mrs. Kampas stated that she thought it would be helpful to hear from someone with more expertise. Dr. Pearson suggested that maybe someone from Horsley Witten could come in to a BOH meeting. This will be brought back to the Board at a future meeting to start working on it. N:\HealthVrom Shari\MSWORK FOLDERS\MEETINGS\BOH\May1822m.doc 7.

The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires that utilities Issue an annual "Consumer Confidence" report to customers In addition to other netices 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 quaiity 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 Alex Provos, Assistant Superintendent. The Brewster Water Department Public Water System Identification number (PWS 1100) Is MA4041000, The Brewster Water Department offices are located at 165 Commerce Park Road, Brewster, MA 02631. The phone number Is 608-896-5454 and the Fax number is 548-696-4517. 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 generalty 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. YOU'RE WATER SOURCE The Town has five groundwater wells pumping water from the Monomoy Lens. The Monomoy Lens is one of the six groundwater lenses that make up the Cape Cod Sale 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 welifield acfeage. Wells #1 & #2, located near Route 6, south of Freeman's Way, were constructed in 1871 and are about 76 feet deep. Well #3, near Route 8, 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 5i^ 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 (DER), 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 duality. The susceptibility of the Town's wells, as determined during the Assessment, is as follows; Wells # 1.3, 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 sayer, that would create a hydrological barrier to possl0le contamination, This is not a new issue for a good part of Cape Cad, 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. 420) or the Brewster Water Department 1508-898-5454) 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.

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, tinder 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 2021 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 (SDC) and Inorganic Contaminants (ICC) because the sources have shown not to be at risk for contamination. The last full sampling for IOC was in 2020 and SOC was in 2018. DEFINITIONS -3- Maximum Contaminant Level or MCL: The highest level of a contaminant In drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLOS (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)l - The concentration of a contaminant that, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements, which a water system must follow. Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter fnrgll.} - 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&jl - One part per billion corresponds to one rninute in 2,000 years, or a single penny In $10,000,000, PlcoCudes per liter (pC11L) - PicoCuries per liter is a measure of tate 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 rechlaique (TT) — A required process intended to reduce the level of a contarwnant In drinking water. 9001, 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 taws. 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 water. Space does not allow listing all constituents here. Ali 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 HiVIAIDS 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. EPAICenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptospoddium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline, I-840-428.4794. Environmental Protection Agency Drinking Water Hatiine 1-800-426-4791 In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Department of EnvironmenW Protection (DEP) and U.S, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribe regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in 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 inforMatiarr about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe Drinicing Water Hotline, 1-800-426-4791. -4- ADDMONAL 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, Pesticides and herbicides, may come From a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. Or an c chemical contamina , 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 affect. Total Coliform detections: No maximum contaminant levels or other health standards were exceeded in any month in 2918, 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. Leal: 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 materlals 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 varlety 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 39 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 h ttp: //www, eps.gov/safewate r/lead . 'Tetrachloroethylene: Detections occur where vinyl lined water mains were installed in the 1970's. 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 hones 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. No Locations had detections. 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, Sohn Wings Lane, Linda Circle, Oakwood Road, Pleasant Court, Wagon Wheel Lane, Whiffletree Avenue, Wynn way, Gages Way -North, Puritan Drive, Stonehenge Drive, Nathan's Pasture Way. Unregulated contaminants: Those for which EPA has not established drinking water standards. The purpose of unregulated contaminant monitoring is to assist FPA in determining their occurrence in drinking water and whether future regulatlon is warranted. Sodium: Sodium -sensitive individuals, such as those experiencing hypertension, kidney failure, or congestive heart failure, should be aware of the sodium levels where exposures are being carefully controlled, Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMy: Some people who drink water containing trlholomethanes 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 mast Cape Cod groundwaters. Haloacetle AcidstHAA5): 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, WATER TREATMENT -5- iron & Manganese Removal (oxidation and filtration) Iron and manganese are often present in groundwater at levels that can discolor the water or cause it to take on unpleasant odors or tastes. Even though the water may still be safe to drink, it is preferable that the iron and manganese be removed, The Greensand Filtration Faellity 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 ting and need to be cleaned using a high-fiow backwash process. Sodium hypochlorite is also used as a disinfectant required for water filtration processes treating the finished water to a concentration of 6.2 to 0.6 ppm free chlorine. Potassium permanganate Is used periodically to activate the filter media when regeneration is necessary. 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 capper 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 htip_1www.drtnktap.aralhnmelwaterr- informationlwater- uali lucm 3.as x. 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 fallowing 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.

Should you, as a Brewster Water consumer, or someone you know have difficulties with sight or understanding English, please contact this office and we will make arrangements to have the report read or translated. OPERATIONS 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 CONNECi"IONS A cross connection occurs whenever a patabte 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 -6- sprayer for weed kiiling 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 Deparement. Hazardous Waste Collection 2022 The tri -town hazardous waste collection program, which also includes the towns of Harwich and Chatham, will continue for 2029. The tentative Saturday collection dates for this year are: May 14th, June 11th, July 9th, August 13th, September 10th. and October 8th. Collections are from 9 AM to 12 Noon at the Harwich Transfer Station, 299 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 activ4ll For more info call Barnstable County Hazardous Materials Program (508) 375-6699 2022 Summer Mandatory Voluntary Irrigation Restriction Schedule In effect until farrther notice 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 clay. When irrigation is needed, please follow the mandatory 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 nigher 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!I -7- PLEASE REMEM$ER TO; WRITE YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER ON YOUR CH ECIC.

BoII Public Water Systems Ss Inventory Review It is important for BOHs to know who the PWSs are intheir community. An electronic list of active PWSs is available on MassDEP's website at: https-://www.mass. ov/tists/drinking-water-health-safety44. The PWSs listed here are systems registered with NlassDEP. To locate your community's list, scroll to "Additional Resources" and click on "Public water supplier contact spreadsheet," Please review your list for discrepancies that should be reported -to MassDEP, including: .v' Add facilities that meet the definition of a PWS (see Attachment C). These are systems that have at least 15 service connections or serve an average of at least 25 people per day at least 60 days per year (see PWS definitions in `Attachment D'). Be aware of property or facility conversions that create a PWS, such as a residence operating a child day care facility or gas station adding a coffee shop. See Part IV in this notice for more information on prop.bsed PWS conversions. .r Update systems that have changed their address or ownership (cross out the incorrect information and provide the new facility information). V Delete systems that no longer have their own source of water (cross out these systems). Please make any necessary changes and updates and return the list to MassDEP - Drinking Water Program, One Winter St., 5th Floor, Boston, MA, 02108; Attn.: BOH Update, or by email attachment to Pro am.Director-DWP mass. ov Subject: BOH Update.

BOB Regulation Filing Requirements As a reminder to BOHs; Massachusetts General Law Section 31 of Chapter 111 and Section 8 of Chapter 21A require SDHs to file attested copies of BOH regulations and amendments with the Central Register located at MassDEP in Boston. Copies of regulations should be submitted to: MassDEP, Central Register, One Winter St., 511' for, Boston MA 02108. For more information contact Linda.Barba mass. ov. Also, please note that regulations for private wells, well drillers, floor drains, and public water supplies must also be submitted to MassDEP at: Pro ram.Director-DWP mass- ov, Subject: SOH Regulations. Transient Nan -Community PWSs Transient Non -Community (TNC) PWSs are primarily businesses with a private well that provides water to the public. As defined in Massachusetts .Drinking Water regulations 310 CMR 22.00, a TNC PWS serves at least 25 different people for at least 60 days of the year. A TNC PWS can be a gas station, farm stand, motel, or Other small business with their own source of drinking water. For example, a car dealership, with its own water supply well, that is available for human consumption to more than 25 customers and for more than 60 days, such as in the bathroom or in complimentary coffee in their waiting room, may meet the definition of a TNC PWS. The chart below shows the many types and numbers of TNC PWSs that health officials likely interact with during their day-to-day work. To ensure consumers are provided safe drinking water, MassDEP conducts sanitary surveys of all PWSs. BOHs can play a role in this effort by informing MassDEP if they believe a particular system might benefit from additional one-on-one technical assistance. To request assistance, BOHs can contact MassDEP at Program. Director-DWPmass. ov Subject: TNC Technical Assistance. MassDEP sends out a quarterly TNC newsletter posted at: https:l/www.mass.gov/lists/communications-to- pub] ie-water-supgliers.

The ASR provides MassDEP with the facility's water production and operating information for the previous year. Of particular concern to public health is verification that a PWS .is operated by a Certified Operator, as defined in 310 CMR 22.11 B. A PWS operating without a Certified Operator is in violation of this regulation and in ay be subject to MassDEP enforcement, including issued penalties. MassDEP is reaching out to SDH for their assistance in the following ways: • When MassDEP determines a PWS is operating without a Certified Operator, both the PWS and the BOH are notified of this situation. Facilities operating without a Certified Operator may pose health risks to consumers. BOHs can assist MassDEP by following up with the PWS when MassDEP requests their assistance. BOHs may inform a facility that operating without a Certified operator may result in their MamDEP Certificate of Registration being revoked; and that their facility could be closed (by the SOH) until such time the PWS has engaged a Certified Operator. In addition, BOHs can assist by notifying MassDEP when a facility, which was providing .water to the public, closes permanently or temporarily (such as due to COVID-19). This assistance will enable MassDEP to adequately determine the compliance status of a PWS. We appreciate BOHs in partnering with MassDEP to ensure all public water suppliers continue to provide clean drinking water to consumers. To notify MassDEP email Progratn.Director-DWP@mass.gov, Subject: PWS certified operator/facility closed. Certificates of Registration and Water Quality Reports MassDEP issues a 'Cert feate of Registration' to every PWS registered with MassDEP. This certificate is useful for many parties, especially TNC PWSs. The PWS should produce their 'Certificate of Registration' when applying for a seasonal operation pen -nit or a facility audit, or a BOH or building inspection. If a facility providing water to the public does not have a 'Certificate of Registration, 'the BOH should report this facility to MassDEP. The 'Certificates of Registration' are available on MassDEP's website, see link below. Facilities that do not have a 'Certificate ofRegistralron' should be identified in the `BOH Inventory Review.' MassDEP issues 'Wates• Qiralio) Reports'to Non --Community systems. The `Water Quality Reporl' for these PWSs is similar to the `Consumer Confidence Report' required for -Community systems. The `Water Quality Report' provides consumers with their drinking water quality information and potential sources of contamination. PWS are required to print out their `Water Quality Report' have it signed by both the operator and owner, and post it in a conspicuous area for customer viewing. BOBS should look for the facility's `Water Quality Report' when issuing local permits or conducting inspections, A PWS providing water to the public that does not have a `Water Quality Report' should he identified in the BOH Inventory Review. The 'Certificates of -Registration are published every January and the `Water Quality Report' every July. BOHs can locate these documents under "Public Water System Document Search." Selecting "PWS ID #" or "PWS Name" and then "Retrieve Documents." If a BOH cannot locatathese documents, please contact Pro am.Director-DWP mass. ov, Subject: Certificate of Registration/Water Quality Report. Both documents are posted on MassDEP's webpage: hti s:llwww.mass. ovlservice-details) ub-lie-water-su lier- document-search. Annual Recreational Camp Re uirement BOHs have the responsibility for licensing local recreational camps. Licenses are issued in accordance with 105 CMR 430.632, which stipulates, "Upon the issuance of a license, the local BOB shall notify MassDEP and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Said notification shall include the name and address of the camp, the name of the owner, the number of campers and staff, and the number of days per year that the camp will be in operation." +� Campgrounds that meet the definition of a PWS can successfully meet MassDEP requirements by: conducting water quality testing; d using a certified water operator for their system; d and submitting the required paperwork to MassDEP. For more information see: h!tps:HNvww.Trias,s.9-ov/service-details/safe-drinkin2-water-and-your-camparound. Please remember to submit information regarding newly licensed camps to MassDEP by March 31st each year using the form in `Attachment B', we encourage you to respond by email to ProgLam.lDire_ctor- DWP c@mass.gov, Subject: Recreational Camp Update. Underground Iniection Control (UIC) - Title 5 Systems The purpose of the UIC Regulations is to protect underground sources of drinking water from subsurface discharge activities. It is estimated that there are more than 190,000 public and private potable water supply wells in Massachusetts that are protected by the UIC program. MassDEP has primacy for the administration of the CLIC Program which regulates subsurface discharges (including wastewater) that meet the definition of a UIC. Title 5 soil absorption systems on non-residential properties and systems used for two or more residential units are considered UIC Class V wells per the federal UIC regulations. MassDEP is required to provide annual inventory reporting to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on these Title 5 systems. For BOHs that do not have a database to maintain their Title 5 system records, MassDEP provides an Excel spreadsheet available at: litt s:llwww.mass. ov/doc/re uest-for-title-5-invento -information. This is an Excel document with two worksheets. The first tab is labeled "DATA" and is for entering information. The second tab is labeled "Instructions" and provides the drop-down menu of items that are in the DATA worksheet along with instructions. BOHs can support MassDEP's efforts in protecting ground water sources in the Commonwealth by providing MassDEP with a list of their Title 5 systems, or by entering the information in the spreadsheet. We would also appreciate the following information on any Title 5 system that is also a UIC Class V Well (as described above): (1) Facility name and location; (2) Ownership of the facility; (3) Name and address of owner's legal contact; and (4) Operating status of Title 5 systems. If you submitted your inventory in previous years, we only request that you update the information. Please include any new systems and note if any of the systems reported in prior years have been decommissioned or have had other changes in operating status. For questions about the [JIG Program, please contact the DWP at 617-292-5770 or Program.Director-DWP a mass.gov Subject: llIC. PART 11: Notifications Emergency Response Notification Requirements Massachusetts Drinking Water Regulations, 310 CMR 22.40, include specific notification requirements for reporting emergencies to MassDEP and the local BOH. These regulations identify the specific incidents or emergencies that require notification within 2 hours or 24 hours. Section 310 CMR 22.15(9) requires PWSs to notify MassDEP and the local BOH after an incident or emergency resulting in consumers receiving water that does not meet the required or routine water quantity or water quality conditions: 1. Emergencies or incidents requiring notification within 2 hours: (a).

If you have any questions, please contact the DWP at 617-292-5770 or Pr_ogram.Director- DWP rQmass.g Subject: Emergency Response Regulations. Water Supply Emergency Declarations BOHs should be aware of the provisions in the Water Management Act for water supply emergencies (M.G-L c.21 G s.15-17). MassDEP provides technical assistance to communities on the management and. the use of emergency connections and emergency water supplies. Any PWS having difficulty meeting demands, drought related or not, may request a `Declaration of Water Supply Emergency' from MassDEP. The provisions for declaring a water supply emergency are outlined in the Massachusetts Water Resources Management Program Regulations, 310 CMR 35.40. A `Declaration of Water' Supply Emergency' requires the PWS to submit a plan to remedy the emergency. Plans can include measures to purchase water from other suppliers, use emergency sources, implement aggressive conservation measures, and provide a mechanism to restrict outdoor water use for those PWSs that do not have the legal authority to implement such measures. For more information on drought conditions in Massachusetts visit: hWs://www.mass.p-ov/droup,—ht-informatiori-and-assistance or contact Program.Director-DWPAa mass.gov_, Subject: Drought, Boil Orders and Other MassDEP Public Health Orders There are 3 types of public health orders issued by MassDEP. During any of these orders, bottled water or water from an approved MassDEP source may be used. (1). Boil Orders are issued by MassDEP when a PWS exceeds, or has the potential to exceed, the standard for E.eoli or detects afecal indicator. This order requires the PWS to notify consumers to boil the water or use water from another approved source. Boiling is appropriate if there is no other identified public health risk due to inhalation, skin irritation, or flammability. (2). Do Not Drink Orders are issued by MassDEP when there is a suspected or known synthetic organic chemical (SOC), inorganic chemical (10C), volatile organic compound (VOC) or radiological 5 contamination in the drinking water. Continued drinking or other human consumptive uses of the water would or could pose an immediate threat to health. Non -consumptive use is still permitted if there is no identified public health risk due to inhalation, skin irritation or flammability. (3). Do Not Use Orders are issued by MassDEP when there is or may be an unknown chemical, VOC, radiological or other unknown contamination and there may be a risk from inhalation, skin irritation or flammability. ADo Not Use Order may also be issued for a known chemical or radio]ogical contamination that exceeds an immediate health and safety risk, e,g., gasoline in the water. FREQIENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (a). What Happens When Sample Results or a Situation Indicates the Need for a Public Health Order? (1). The PWS informs MassDEP and their local BOH within 2 hours of learning of the problem. (2). MassDEP consults with the PWS and determines the appropriate course of action in accordance with federal and state drinking water regulations. The local BOH is made aware of the situation and may participate in these discussions. (3)..MassDEP verbally notifies the PWS of the situation and issues a written order to the PWS within 24 hours or as soon as possible. The order always identifies the actions consumers should take with the drinking water, along with steps the PWS must take to protect the public health, monitor the situation, and correct the problem. (4). MassDEP keeps the Mass Department of Public Health (MDPH) and the EPA informed throughout the. situation. (5). MassDEP lists all public health orders on its website. If an order is issued on a normal business day, it is posted on the website within 2 hours. If the order is issued on a weekend or a holiday the information is on the webpage within 24 hours of the first business day following the issuance of the order. This information is located at: https:Heeaonline.eea.st_ate.ma.us/DEP/Boil Order. (b). How are Consumers Notified of a MassDEP Public Health Order or Advisory? The PWS is required to issue a MassDEP approved notice within 2 hours of receiving the MassDEP notification of the situation or receipt of the written order, whichever occurs first. To expedite the consumer notification process MassDEP has pre -approved template notices available for use. PWSs should use the following means: V Broadcast media (radio, television, newspaper); Posting the notice; V' Hand delivery; and •/ Other methods approved in writing by MassDEP i.e., e-mail, text message, social media. (c). What Instructions Must Food Establishments Follow During a Drinking Water Public Health Order? The MDPH has specific guidance outlined in the `MDPH Guidance for Emergency action Planning for Retail Food Establishinents': htti2s:l/www.mass.govllists/retail-food. Questions on food establishment requirements should be referred to the MDPH Food Protection Program at 617-483-6700: htts:llwww.mass. ovlfood-safet . (d). I-Iow Can MassDEP, PWSs and BOHs Assist Each Other with Drinking Water Public Health Orders? BOHs and health officials should be familiar with the MassDEP required `Emergency Response Plan' (ERP) for each of the PWS in their community. At a minimum, all parties should share up-to-date contact information. This will ensure that everyone is kept informed when an emergency occurs, or a public health order is necessary. Here are a few steps that will go a long way to help PWSs and BOHs address emergencies and public health orders: (1). Before a public health order is issued or an emergency occurs, the PWS and BOH should work and train together on the ERP. PWS should follow all applicable MassDEP regulations, policies and guidance to maintain a fully compliant system. (2), During a public health order, the PWS and BOH should follow the ERF and the MassDEP public health order. (3). After a public health order, the PWS and BOH should evaluate the situation and the ERP as needed. The PWS and Sold should continue working and training together on the ERP. (e).

The fifth round, UCMR5, to be conducted under EPA oversight, was published in the Federal Register on December 27, 2021. UCMR5 requires all PWS serving more than 10,000 persons to monitor as woll as all PWSs serving between 3,300 and 10,000 (subject to Congressional appropriations) and a nationally -representative set of 800 PWSs serving 3,360 or fewer persons during 2023- 2025. UCMR5 requires laboratories to analyze and report all results exceeding EPA's minimum reporting levels for each contaminant. UCMR5 will require monitoring for 30 unregulated contaminants, including 29 PPAS and lithium. The EPA is responsible for the development, review, and distribution of all UCMR5 sample results, as well as the analysis of samples from a national set of PWSs serving 3,300 people or less. Because this round of testing still requires the reporting of all chemicals detected, PWSs may be reporting more results during this round to their customers, even though these detects could be well below any published health advisory or guideline. Published health advisory or guidelines are available in MassDEP's `Standards & Guidelines for Contaminants in Massachusetts Drinking Water': htt s:Ilwww.mass. avl uides/drinkin -water-standards- and- uidelines. EPA reference concentrations for each unregulated chemical will be shred once EPA makes this document available. UCMR5 occurrence data will be made available on EPA's website and MassDEP will post statewide data once it becomes available. For EPA UCMR Occurrence Data:see: Llnreeulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 2 UCMR 2 2008-2010 Occurrence Data a a. ov . Consumer Notification Requirements Public Notification (PN) - In addition to requiring notification of violations, the PN rule requires PWS to provide special notices for certain situations, including the availability of unregulated contaminant monitoring data. Public notices of unregulated contaminant monitoring data are different from other public notices because they do not have to contain all the elements required of other types of public notices. Instead, PWS need only report that the results are available and provide a phone number or contact where the results can be obtained. All PWS must issue special notice within 12 months of receiving monitoring results and must submit the PN certification form and copy of the notice within 10 days of issuing PN. • Consumer Confidence Reports (CCR) — CCRs must be prepared and distributed to customers of Community PWSs. Non Community PWSs are required to post their `Water Quality Report' issued to the PWS. MassDEP issues this report after ensuring the requirements of 310 CMR 22.16A have been met. Per EPA guidance, CCRs must be distributed to customers by July l st of each year and must include any UCMR detections received by the PWS during the previous calendar year. • Public Education (PE) is required for the Lead and Copper Rule and the `per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances' (PFAS) regulations. These regulations require specific information to be shared with consumers when certain trigger levels are exceeded. For information on the PN, PE and CCR requirements see: https:llwww mass.gov/info-details/consmner- confidence -re arts#unre ulated-contaniinants-monitorin -rule-and- ublic-notification-in-cors-.

PART III: Emerging Issues PFAS On October 2, 2020, MassDEP established a drinking water standard, or a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL), for the sum of six per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The MCL is 20 ng(L (nanograms per liter) or parts--per-trillion (ppt) for what the regulations call PFAS6, or the sum of six PFAS compounds: PFOS, PFOA, PFHxS, PFNA, PFHpA, PFDA. PFAS are a family of chemicals widely used since the 1950s. Because PFAS are water soluble, overtime PFAS from some firefighting foam, manufacturing sites, landfills, spills, air deposition from factories and other releases can seep into surface soils. PFAS can leach into groundwater or surface water and can contaminate drinking water. PFAS have also been found in rivers, lakes, fish, and wildlife. PFAS Have also been linked to a variety of health risks, particularly in immunocompromised individuals, women who are pregnant or nursing, and in infants. This drinking water standard is set to be protective against adverse health effects for all people consuming the water. All Community and Non -transient Non -community PWS have now tested their drinking water sources for PFAS. By September 30, 2022, TNC PWS (such as parks or restaurants) must collect a single water sample. Half of them have already sampled their water sources. The results are that of all PWS tested, 133 detected PFAS6 above the MCL in one or more of their sources. That is 12% of our PWS. Many of them were able to turn off a well or use water from a connection to an adjacent PWS, but a significant number will need to add treatment. The MassDEP Bureau of Waste Site Cleanup is very busy investigating the sources of the PFAS contamination of groundwater and identifying Potentially Responsible Parties when possible. The good news is that 95% of Massachusetts consumers are drinking water that meets the PFAS6 MCL. For more information about PFAS, where it has been found at public water supp] sources and what MassDEP is doing see: Per- and Polvfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) j Mass.gov and the MassDEP Fact Sheet Q & A for Consumers at fas-in-dw-fs, df Mass. ov. Information for Public Health Professionals from the CDC https.,//w-ww.atsdr.cdc.gov/Rfas/index.litmi. If you have any questions, contact the DWP at Program.Director-DWP _,mass.gov, Subject: PFAS PFAS in Private Wells The Balser -Polito Administration received funding from the legislature to support testing for PFAS in public water supplies and selected private wells to assist in characterizing PFAS levels in the Commonwealth. The MassDEP `Private Welds PAS Sampling Program 'provides the opportunity for laboratory analyses of samples from selected private wells for PFAS at no charge to the homeowner. MassDEP is partnering with UMass to undertake this program to characterize PFAS levels in municipalities that are not predominantly served by public water systems. MassDEP identified 85 towns where more than 64% of the population is served by private wells. MassDEP began working with its UMass contractor, local BOHs, and other local partners to identify private wells and solicit private well owner participation in each town. Well locations were selected based on geographic distribution within the town and/or proximity to potential sources of PFAS. To date, PFAS testing has occurred in all 85 Towns, with results from 1366 private wells. The testing program will conclude by .lune 30, after which MassDEP and its UMass contractor will publish a report describing findings from the sampling program. The f nal report will be provided to Boards of Health and all program participants when it becomes available.

To address this issue, MassDEP is taking the following steps to increase Cybersecurity awareness: • We are increasing the amount of cybersecurity related news sent to PWSs and partners and providing them with the best available information, guidelines and tips; • We are including more Cybersecurity related information in our biweekly communication to PWSs and partners. Drinking Water Program Updates can be found at: Communication to Public Water Suppliers i Mass.gov or at Statehouse Archives: https://archives.lib.state.ma.us/handle/2452/826119; ■ We have partnered with industry experts to provide free Cybersecurity training for public water suppliers and operators and are working with EPA to provide training and assistance to PWSs; and ■ We have developed simple, user friendly one-page flyers for operators to post in their workplaces. The aim of these flyers is to educate and remind operators on the best cyber security practices to implement for protecting a system from cyber -attacks. These flyers are available online at: Public Drinking Water Systern Operations I Mass-gov.

Sunnly Chain Issues Recent events have led to supply chain delay issues. MassDEP's Drinking Water Program (DWP) encourages all PWSs to include planning for supply chain shortages in their emergency response plans. If a PWS experiences any supply chain issue including the receipt of a Force Majeure letter from a chemical supplier, the DWP has encouraged the PWS to report the supply chain issues to their DWP contact in their MassDEP regional office and to complete the MassDEP supply chain survey at https://www.mass. ovlformsl ws-force-ma'eure-or-other-su i - chain -notices. Completing the survey will help the DWP to quickly compile and review the irrformation so that we can assist PWSs with these issues. The DWP has also developed a poster on supply chain issues planning and response with steps to prepare PWSs for supply chain disruptions; https://www.mass.gov/doc/steps-to-prepare-vour-public-water-system-for-supply-ch dn- disruptions/download . Another useful resource is the EPA Chemical Supplier and Manufacturer Locator Tool which allows water and wastewater utilities to search for suppliers and manufacturers across the U.S. that may be able to fulfill their chemical supply needs and increase resilience to supply chain disruptions. This tool is located at htts:llwww.e a. ov/waterutilit res onse/chemical-su liers-and-manufacturers-locator-tool and can also be useful for finding alternative chemical suppliers in the case of supply chain shortages. The DWP encourages interested PWSs to join MassWARN; htti)://www.mawarn.otg/, this organization enables public water systems to receive rapid mutual aid and assistance from other public water systems in Massachusetts to restore services damaged by natural or man-made incidents. Controllfin2 Le lonella: Healthcare Facilities Large Buildin s and Non -Registered PWS SECONDARY DISINFECTIC]N IN HEALTHCARE FACILITIES In the last several years there has been an increasing number of healthcare facilities (e.g., hospitals and nursing homes) and hotels in the U.S, that are providing secondary disinfection to their water to prevent the proliferation of several pathogens (primarily Legionella pneumophila) known to grow in the biofilms of the plumbing of large buildings. These pathogens grow best where the water temperature in the pipes is above G$° F, and have been found in cooling towers, hot tubs and hot water tanks. Healthcare .facilities are particularly concerned about Legionella because older people and those with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable. More information on Legionella can be found on the Center for Disease Control's website at: http:llwww.cdc.gov/lejzionella/index.html. A facility serving 25 or more persons for 60 or more days a year that intends to install and operate a permanent disinfection treatment system is considered a PWS and requires MassDEP prior approval. A facility serving 25 or more persons for 60 or more days a year that performs disinfection on a temporary basis not exceeding 60 days, may not be regulated as a PWS by MassDEP if such system notifies MassDEP, their local water authority, MDPH and their SOH or health department. In addition, the facility should ensure the temporary disinfection procedure is overseen by a consultant or engineer who must develop a disinfection plan and have experience or certification as a drinking water operator. The plan must include an emergency response plan and notification protocol to address over -feeds and potential exceedances of any SDWA contaminant. For more information see htt://www.mass. ov/eea/a encies/massde /water/dritikin water -s stems -o s.11tml#17 and htt ://www.mass. ov/eca/a encies/massde /water/re u.lations/clilorine-dioxide-shock-treatment-at-health- facilities.htmi. In addition to MassDEP approval, Veteran Administration Hospitals installing permanent disinfection to control Legionella, must refer to the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs Directive 1061 'Prevention of Healthcare Associated Legionella Disease and Scald Injury frons Potable Water Distribution Systems, August 2014.' For details see: https:llww-w va pov1VHApublicationslViewPublication.asp?pub 1D=91$1. 10 POLICY TO INHIBIT MICROBIAL GROWTH The Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued a policy directive on June 6, 2018 to require Hospitals, Critical Access Hospitals and Long -Terra Care facilities to develop policies and procedures that inhibit microbial growth in building water systems. The purpose of the directive is to reduce the risk of growth and spread of Legionella and other opportunistic pathogens in water. For more information see: https•11www.cros.gov/Medicare/Provider-Enrollm_ ent-and-Cer- tificationlSurve CertificationGeninfo/Polic -and-Memos-to-States-and-Re ions-Items/Surve -And-Cert- Letter-17-30-.htm i_ USING CHLORINE DIOXIDE Recently, companies have inquired about the process for installing disinfection treatment at local hospitals and other facilities that are not registered PWS but serve 25 or more persons, 50 or more days per year. Some hospitals may want to add chlorine dioxide or chloramine as a secondary disinfectant to their water supply to help to control pathogens such as Legionella pneumophila, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Mycobacterium avium complex. Chlorine dioxide has a inaximum residual disinfectant level drinking water standard of 0.8 milli- grams per liter and is regulated by MassDE, P due to the potential health risks associated with its use. A hospital or a facility, serving 25 or more people 60 or more days a year, that is not a MassDEP registered PWS and treats the water entering the building with a secondary disinfectant (such as chlorine dioxide) is a consecutive PWS. These systems are regulated by MassDEP and are subject to federal and state drinking water standards. For more information see: httM://www.mass_gov/info-detailLpublic=drinking' water-system-operations#consecutive-water-systems-. A hospital or facility, serving 25 or more people 50 or more days a year, that receives water from a MassDEP registered PWS but is planning to temporarily use chlorine dioxide for shock treatment, should contact MassDEP and review the information at: htt s:/Iwww.mass. ov/service-details) rotocol-for-chlo-rine- dioxide-shock=treatment at-healthcare-facilities-on�a public.

Like algae, cyanobacteria can multiply quickly in response to conditions that are favorable for their growth, resulting in "blooms." Harmful algal blooms composed of cyanobacteria, called CyanoHABs, can contribute to taste and odor issues for PWS; but they also have the potential to produce cyanotoxins that can be harmful to people and animals. Cyanobacteria, and the cyanotoxins they have the potential to produce, currently have DO federal or Massachusetts regulations; however, on .Tune 17, 2015, the US EPA released I0 -day drinking water health advisory (HA) levels for two eyanotoxins: microcystins and cytindrospermopsin. HA levels are non - regulatory concentrations, at which adverse health effects are not anticipated to occur by oral ingestion of drinking water over specific exposure durations. EPA set lower HA levels for infants and children under the age of six due to sensitivity with consumption of water relative to body weight. 11 The following table shows the drinking water HA levels: US EPA DW Health Advisories M.icrocystins Cylindrospermopsin US EPA 10- ny HA Cyanotoxin Bottle fed infants and pre- school children School age children and adults Microc stins 0.3E L 1.5 L C lindros erma sin 0.7 L 3 In compliance with US EPA's fourth round of the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR4), PWSs nationwide conducted assessment monitoring for ten cyanotoxins from 2018 through 2020. Data from the UCMR serves as a primary source of research information, which U5 EPA utilizes to develop regulatory decisions. As of April 2021, 2,936 cyanotoxin results have been submitted from a total of 113 Massachusetts PWS, and all results have indicated no detections. For further information on US EPA's UCMR4 please visit: htt s://www.e a. ovlc anohabs/e a-drinkin -water-health-advisories-c anotaxins. It is also important to note that in December 2416, the EPA released draft criteria for cyanotoxins for the protection of recreational activities in freshwater systems, which recommended that values for primary contact recreation exposure should not exceed 4 pants per billion (ppb) for microcystins and 8 ppb for cylindrospermopsin. In September 2018, EPA continued stakeholder engagement by revising the draft recreational cyanotoxin criteria/swimming advisories in response to public comments and newly available data. In May 2019, EPA issued the final Recommended Recreational Ambient Water Quality Criteria or Swimming Advisories (AWQCISA) for microcystins and cylindrospennopsin. The recommended limit for the two cyanotoxins is in the below table, while duration and frequency are dependent on their application as a A WQC or a SA.

MassDEP and other state agencies including the Massachusetts Department of Public H (MDPH), the Department of Conservation and Recreation, and the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority recognize that this emerging contaminant warrants attention and coordination. As such, MassDEP is working closely with MDPH to establish communication and response protocols for reports of potential CyanoHA-Bs in drinking water sources regulated by MassDEP, and recreational waterbodies under the jurisdiction of MDPH. PWS should contact MassDEP to report any potential CyanoHAB issues in drinking water sources, while local BOHs receiving reports of potential CyanoHABs should contact MDPH for assistance: https:llwww mass. ogov/orgsfbureau-of-environmental-health.

Director- DWP mass. ov Subject: Cyanobacteria. 12 PART IV: RECENT TOPICAL ISSUES Well Completion Reports Under 310 CMR 46.03(3) of the Well Driller Regulations, well drillers must file a `Well Completion Re -- port' (WCR) within 30 days of completing a job and must provide a copy to the BOH. In addition to private drinking water wells, other types of wells (such as irrigation wells and monitoring wells) are also subject to the Well Driller Regulations. All wells, unless identified in 310 CMR 46.00, must be installed by a registered well driller and have a WCR. The submittal of the WCR is integral to the well drilling process. In most communities, well drilling activity requires a local permit. This mechanism helps in ensuring that a WCR is tiled for every well and that municipal officials are kept informed of all well drilling activity in their community. For instance, if a drilling pen -nit was issued and the BOH did not receive the WCR by the required due. date; a site visit can be conducted to determine if the well had been installed. 'Likewise, local officials can follow up on reports that a well is being drilled without the required local permit. All communities that have existing or potential well drilling activity, should consider establishing a local permitting process. Ensuring that every well drilled has a WCR associated with it and is on file is integral to the well drilling process. This is an area where the BOH can play an important rale to assist the Well Driller Program. If it appears a well has been installed without a WCR being fled, SDHs should notify the DWP/Well Driller Program. With continued assistance from local BOHs, compliance and enforcement of well drillers certifications and proper drilling protocols throughout the Commonwealth can be maintained. If a BOH does not receive a WCR within the required 30 days, or receives a WCR with incorrect or missing information pertaining to the latllong coordinates, address, well construction, well yield and driller information or other important data; MassDEP requests BOHs take one of the following actions: • Issue Enforcement. BOHs may be able to issue enforcemei-t through their regulations. Please send MassDEP Scopy of the enforcement action to the email addresses below; or • Notify the MassDEP Well Driller Program. If a BOH does not issue enforcement, please email MassDEP or contact the Drinking Water Program by phone describing the issue along with the supporting facts. For questions about well drilling, WCRs, or to notify MassDEP of unauthorized well drilling, please email Pro-aram.Director-DWP rnass.gov, Subject: Well Driller Program. Statewide Well Location Pro.iiect MassDEP is the primary water use data provider for Massachusetts and currently houses the Well Driller Program (WDP) within the Drinking Water Program. The WDP oversees the proper and safe drilling of wells and maintains a database of information provided by well drillers. As described above, for each well drilled in the Commonwealth, a WCR must be submitted to the Drinking Water Program along with the local BOH. Each WCR contains information pertaining to the well including location, depth, lithology, static water levels, yield, etc. This data is stored electronically in the Well Driller Database accessible through the EEA Data Portal at: h s://eeaonline.eea.state.ma.usl ortai#!/searchlwelldrillin . Of the more than 190,000 wells in the Well Driller Database, approximately 50% are assumed accurately located to statewide parcel data. The remaining 50% of these wells are generally located to either a town, street, intersection, or have no location information associated with them. The Drinking Water Program received a grant from the USGS to properly locate as many wells as possible. The project will be completed by October 2022. The main objectives of this project are to match as many of these. unlocated 13 wells to statewide parcel data and tie this information to their associated WCR. This will at the same time create a map viewer to the Well .Driller Database that will associate well data points with WCRs through point and click. technology. We will be notifying all BOHs when the project is completed and the map viewer is available. For questions or more information about this project, contact Bruce Bouck at Bruce.Bouck i4mass.v v. Well Driller Reauirements Under 310 CMR 46.02 of the Well .Driller Regulations, persons engaged in the business of well drilling must be registered by MassDEP. If a non -registered well driller is performing the work, a registered well driller must be on site to observe critical aspects of the drilling process. To ensure that only authorized well drillers perform the drilling or are on site for observation, the SDH can require a copy of their `Well Driller Certification' be shown prior to drilling and/or check the list of registered drillers on MassDEP's website at: https•//www mass.gov/service-detai[s/well-driller-certification. For more information on registered well driller requirements see: litt s://www.mass. ov/doc/h-ws-38a- instructions-for-initial-well-driller-certification/download. Cross Connections Cross connections are situations in the water distribution system that creates an actual or potential connection between a potable water supply and a system or fixture that carries non -potable substances (liquids, gases or solids). Cross connections are a concern when low pressure in the public water system can result in a reverse flow of non -potable substances back into the potable water system. This reverse of flow is caused by a back siphonage or backpressure: • Back siphonage is backflow caused by a negative pressure (vacuum or partial vacuum) in the public water supply line or consumer's potable water lines (domestic lines). • Backpressure is the reversal of normal flow in a system due to an increase in the downstream pressure above that of the supply pressure. In accordance with 310 CMR 22.22(3): Public Water System Responsibilities "Every public water system shall be responsible for (a) Controlling cross connections to the last free flowing outlet of the consumer and for the safety of the public water system under its jurisdiction; (b) Having a cross connection control distribution system protection program plan (the "cross connection program plan") approved by the Department as specified at 310 CMR 22.22(3)(b) ..." All PWSs are required to have an approved cross connection control program plan and to fully implement the approved plan, including conducting cross connection surveys of all non-residential fadilities within its service area. If a cross connection is found it must be eliminated through the re -piping or properly protected with the installation of a backflow preventer device or assembly. PWSs are recommended to use other municipal departments and officials, such as plumbing inspectors, BDHs, building inspectors and fire departments, to assist in the implementation of an effective cross connection control plan. Cross connections can exist in commercial, industrial and residential buildings. Even though 310 CMR 22.22 does not require residential surveys, local cross connection bylaws (or ordinances) may require some level of surveying or reporting cross connections. Typical residential cross connections include irrigation systems and fire suppression systems. Two classes of backflow preventers are used to prevent backflow, testable and non -testable. MassDEP recommends that only non -testable backflow preventers be installed in residential facilities, (unless the threat requires a testable device). All testable backflow preventers must be tested in accordance with the 310 CMR 22.22 frequency and in accordance with the water system's schedule. If a testable device 14 is not needed it may be removed; if it remains it must be tested (see 310 CMR 22.22(3)(h)). This requirement applies to all installations of such devices or assemblies even if it was done without the proper approval from the local water authority. For more information contact Pro am.Director-DWP -mass. ov Subject: Cross Connections. Home Burials and Green Burials A `home burial' means to bury a person on privately owned residential property that is not an approved cemetery. Home burials are not prohibited by state law, but the decedent's family must first obtain written approval from the local BOH and the local governing body. A `green burial' or natural burial is a method of final disposition of a body with fewer environmental impacts than traditional burial. Generally, a green burial means that the body is not embalmed, no metal or lard wood are used to male the casket, no gravel liner or vault are used, and a low -profile grave marker is used or no marker at all. The potential for bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms from human remains to reach groundwater and infect other people appears to be the greatest source of public health concern associated with green burials. Research indicates though microorganisms can remain viable and transportable for many years following a burial, they are eventually attenuated by soils and lose viability. However, the fact that these organisms can remain viable for some time highlights the importance of siting burials in hydro -geologically appropriate areas.

Some common examples of these conversions include: • A change in the type of ermined occupancy For example, a residential home proposing to a operate a daycare or doctor's office, or a gas station proposing to operate a coffee shop. If the proposed changes result in the facility providing water to 25 or more persons per day for at least 60 days a year, then the facility meets the definition of a PWS. ■ A change in the number of the permitted occu ants For example, a daycare facility proposing to increase the number of children or staff to 25 or more persons per day for at least 60 days a year, meets the definition of a PWS. If BOH is aware of a daycare facility that is not currently on their `PWS Inventory List' (see Part I), the facility should be added to this list.

You may also contact the MA Department of Early Education and Care at https:llwww.mass govIorw,�ldevarttnent-cfearly-education-and-care. Ensuring that property owners contact MassDEP prior to beginning a property conversion, will benefit the property owner and ensure all applicable MassDEP requirements for safe drinking water are met. If a property owner creates and operates a facility as a PWS prior to obtaining MassDEP approvals; both the owner and operator may be subject to enforcement action, including monetary penalties.

Conversion 15 PART V: MassDEP Drinking Water Program Initiatives LCCR Funding Opportunity for PWS Under the current Lead and Copper Rule Revisions, PWS must create and submit an inventory of all lead service lines (LSLs) in their distribution systems by October 2024. To help PWS with this and related lead abatement work, MassDEP is working with the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust (CWT) on a grant program through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) to assists PWS with the development of their LSU inventories. These inventories will serve as the basis for their LSL Replacement Programs. More information will be available soon. Principal Forgiveness for Lead Abatement Pro'ects PWSs may benefit from $30 million in funds available to provide principal forgiveness (grants) to DWSRF borrowers to help finance eligible lead abatement projects. These grants will help borrowers reduce the principal of their SRF loan and are in addition to standard subsidies offered by the DWSRF to disadvantaged communities. Importantly, these funds must be used by September 30, 2025. Those PWS who wish to access these grants must participate in the DWSRF annual project solicitation that opens at the beginning of July of 2022, for consideration during the financing cycles in calendar year 2023. Project proposals (Project Evaluation Forms) must be submitted to MassDEP by August 19, 2022, for financing in calendar year 2023. Elieible Lead Abatement Proiects Eligible lead abatement projects may include planning and construction projects such as lead service lines (LSL) inventories, materials surveys, mapping, full LSL replacements, lead removal, corrosion control, capital improvements, and water main rehabilitation, Projects to be financed are selected using a priority ranking system based upon protection of public health, improved compliance, and affordability. MassDEP Assistance Program for Lead in School ❑rinkin Water In 2015 and again in the 2417-2018 school years, the Commonwealth undertook this voluntary initiative to help public schools and EECFs across the state test for lead and capper in drinking water, using $2.75M in financial support from the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust. MassDEP and its partners administered this program that provides technical assistance and free laboratory analysis to participating schools. In the first year, about 800 schools from 153 municipalities signed up to receive assistance. Assistance has been provided to all participating schools, with samples taken from water bubblers and other fixtures used for drinking, food preparation, and medical care. As schools found fixtures that exceed the recommended action level, schools have repaired, replaced or taken them off-line to address this exposure, As of May 2019, 991 schools, including 30 Early Education and Care Facilities (EECF), have been tested under the Assistance Program. Sampling results are available on EEA's Data Portal at: http:Ileeaonline.eea.state.ma,us/por-tal#!/home. For more information see htt s:llwww.mass. ov/assistance- ro ram-for-lead-in-school-drinkin -water. In a continuing effort to ensure safe drinking water for children across the Commonwealth, the MassDEP `Expanded Assistance Program for• Free Sampling and Analysis at Schools and EECFs' will continue the Commonwealth's nation -leading program offering free lead testing and technical assistance to eligible public schools and public and private group childcare facilities. This program was funded through a Year 1- $957,000 grant and Year 2- $321,000 grant from the EPA will help eligible facilities implement effective testing programs, educate them about how to address elevated lead levels, and provide water quality information to the school community. 16 MassDEP Lead Contamination Control Act - Schools and EEC ' Pro ram The Lead Contamination Control Act (LCCA) is a USEPA voluntary program for schools. and EECFs to identify and address lead in drinking water in schools and childcare facilities. MassDEP is committed to continued support for schools and early education and care programs to ensure safe drinking water. In light of EPA's Revised 3Ts Manual released on October 25, 2018, MassDEP's Drinking Water Program issued new guidance to school and childcare facilities on lead in drinking water, to align with updated federal EPA guidance. The guidance sets a goal that water from taps and fixtures used for drinking, food preparation, and medical uses contain no measurable levels of lead, replacing the existing action level for lead in_school drinking water of 15 parts per billion. The action level for copper is 1.3 mg/L. MassDEP and its LCCA partners inform and educate school and childcare officials on how to identify, evaluate, and reduce or eliminate the sources of lead contamination affecting their facility's drinking water. MassDEP recommends that a school's or EECF's voluntary program should do the following: 1. Update the list/map of all taps/fixtures used for drinking water, to prepare food and/or beverages, and in nurses' offices. All other non -human consumption taps should be posted with "For hand washing only". 2. Use the MassDEP LCCA Program Management Tool (see Additional Resources below) to maintain and track the status of all identified sites. This tool was developed for schools to use to manage their sampling sites, analytical data and remediation actions. 3. Develop and implement a Sampling Plan to sample the identified taps/fixtures at least once every three years after an initial baseline sampling of all identified fixtures. To balance cost and ensure that staff maintain their training on the sarnpling process, MassDEP recommends that 1/3 of the fixtures are sampled every year. 4. Use a Massachusetts' certified laboratory to analyze all samples and require the laboratory to provide all results to the school AND to the MassDEP via MassDEP's electronic reporting system, eDEP. S. Remove AIT fixtures/taps that exceed the MassDEP copper action level. Remediate and retest all taps/fixtures to ascertain that they do not exceed the action level before returning them to service. 5. If lead .sample results are above the detection limit of 1 ppb; schools/EECFs should implement or continue remediation actions to reduce levels to the lowest possible concentration by prioritizing actions based on the level of sample results and the vulnerability of the impacted populations. 7. Taps/fixtures should not be put back into service until lead sample results are consistently below 15 ppb. Remediation actions to achieve the lowest possible concentration should continue, taking into account the priority of the tap. 8. Develop and implement a transparent user-friendly communication plan that provides timely notice to all student, staff, and parents about results and actions taken. 9. Add all remediation and other actions to the MassDEP LCCA Program Management Tool. BQHs are encouraged to work with their schools and EECFs to help evaluate and provide technical assistance to correct lead in drinking water problems. Lead and copper results submitted through MassDEP's electronic data reporting system, eDEP, are available on the Energy & Environmental Affairs Data Portal at: h!tps://eeaordine.eea.state.ma.us/Por(al/4Yhome.

Public Water System includes any collection, treatment, storage, and distribution facilities under control of the operator of such a system and used primarily in connection with such system, and any collection or pretreatment storage facilities not under such control, which are used primarily in connection with such system. The Deparhnent may presume that a system is a Public Water System as defined in 310 CMR 22.00 based on the average number of persons using a facility served by the system or on the number of bedrooms in a residential home or facility. The Department reserves the right to evaluate and determine whether two or more wells located on commonly owned property, that individually may serve less than 25 people, but collectively serve more than 25 people for more than 60 days of the year should not be regulated as a Public Water System, taking into account the risk to public health. A Public Water System includes a "Community. Water System" or a "Non -Community Water System." (a) Community Water S stern means a Public Water System that serves at least 15 service connections used by year-round residents or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. (b) Non-Communi Water System means a Public Water System that is not a Community Water System: 1. Non -Transient Non -Community Water System or NTNC means a Public Water System that is not a Community Water System and has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves at least 25 of the same individuals or more approximately four or more hours per day, four or more days per week, more than six months or 180 days per year; such as a workplace providing water to its employees. 2. Transient Non -Community Water System or TNC means a Public Water System that. is not a Community Water System or a Non -transient Non -community Water System but is a Public Water System which has at least 15 service connections or serves water to 25 different persons at least 60 days of the year. Some examples of these types of systems are: restaurants, motels, camp grounds, parks, golf courses, ski areas, and community centers. 23 Concerns raised over dead birds Cormorants found on Martha's Vineyard bring up fears of avian flu Rich Eldred Wicked Local I USA TODAY NETWORK Wildlife experts are worried after "hundreds" of dead cormorants have washed ashore on Martha's Vineyard. There could be many causes, but the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game fears the deaths could be the result of an outbreak of a highly contagious strain of avian flu, according to a June 22 press release. See AVIAN FLU, Page 4A Continued from Page I A The agency advises the pubic not to touch or remove sick or dead birds along the coast. The flu has been ravaging both wild birds and commercial poultry in Europe, forcing over 16 million birds to be culled in France in 2021. According to the European Commission, a new epidemic season started in October 2021 with cases mostly along the coast. In Scotland on the Shetland Islands up to 80% of the Great Skua population may have died. The virus is in the U.S, as well and Massachusetts has bad] 4 known cases. Hundreds of dead cormorants could represent a significant uptick. "This is extremely dangerous to us as a small island," Tisbury Animal Control said on its Facebook page. "Please inform your local ACO (anima] control officer) if you find any dead birds. We have had hundreds of dead cormorants washing up all over the island." The birds have been sent to Mass Fish and Wildlife for testing. "Do not touch them. Keep you dogs on leashes if on beaches so they do not get contaminated," Tisbury advises. "We haven't seen much of that here," said Stephanie Ellis, executive director of Wild Care in Eastham. "There's a very large die -off of cormorants down a lot of the coast to Virginia but we haven't done any but there is definitely a mortality event with cormorants and also great shearwaters along the coast." Avian flu strain detected in Georgia on June 1, and other states On June 1, the avian flu strain was detected in Georgia in backyard chickens, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The disease has also been recently found in Oregon, Washington and Oklahoma. In total, there have been 1,611 positive tests in 42 states. The most positive tests have been in North Dakota (249). According to the USDA, there hasn't been a positive test in Massachusetts since April 15, when a sanderling from Barnstable tested positive. On March 16, eight Barnstable sanderlings tested positive, along with a hawk and turkey vulture, Some of those birds came from the Birdsey Cape Wildlife Center in Barnstable. "We've seen a variety of species but have not had a positive cormorant yet," said Zak Mertz at the center. "If you go to the USDA website they list all the positive cases." High volumes of suspect birds on Cape Cod, at least 200 Like Ellis, Mertz sends any suspect birds to Tufts University veterinarians for testing and if they have a positive the bird is shipped to the state for confirmation, "Unfortunately this year has been a hard year at both hospitals," Metz said. 'rhe New England Wildlife Center also operates an animal hospital in Weymouth. "We're taking in an extremely high volume of patients, over 200 on Cape Cod," he said. "Weymouth has a high volume as well. They're not taking birds now because they also handle domestic poultry." Any bird that's sick or injured gets care in Barnstable but new birds are kept in isolation. "We're in full PPE (personal protective equipment) and are disinfecting 10 to 15 times a day," Mertz said. "That's made the job really complicated. It's so contagious across species, That's why so late in the outbreak we're still taking precautions." It's the busy season as well, "There's a lot of seabird activity this year, We share everything with Mass Wildlife and our federal partners," Mertz said. "We've had quite a few positives, as of now five or six different species including a snowy owl, a great horned owl, a gull, a swan, sanderlings, mostly scavenging species." That's added a lot of time and stress to the job of caring for wild girds and it's been the case for some time. The flush of dead cormorants is alarming, according to Stephanie Ellis at Wild Care in Eastham "This year avian flu was detected in Massachusetts in February," Ellis recalled. "The first case we got was when two Canada geese tested positive. We had been feeling hopeful that avian flu cases were dying back. Several weeks ago a northern gannet tested positive but that was one out of 50 so we were feeling hopeful." Ellis said. she is still hopeful, but the flush of dead cormorants is alarming. "The Cape Wildlife Center has received over 30 shearwaters (that number is now 40) and I understand some did test some for avian flu," Ellis said. "I'm not sure what's going on (with the cormorants) starvation, unavailable food sources. I'm hoping we get results that shed light on how we should respond." She noted a couple of years ago cormorants were hit by Newcastle virus. "We're at extreme levels ofbiosecurity we're following because of avian flu," Ellis said, "If a bird exhibits symptoms we're required to humanely euthanize it. if it is asymptomatic for flu, it goes into quarantine and we send a swab to a lab. We are working with Tufts and they test birds for us. They are great, we're so grateful for that service. " Not all birds are equally at risk. "It is highly transmissible through waterfowl, also shorebirds, gulls, so gregarious species that are drinking the same water -- also in raptors that feed on the carcasses of birds with influenza. There is a low risk for songbirds," Ellis said. "This is a huge concern of the USDA," Ellis noted. Poultry farmers have to cull entire flocks if avian flu is detected. See AVIAN FLU, Page 5A Continued from Page 4A An extra layer of biosecurity on top of a busy season As with the Cape Wildlife Center, staffers at Wild Care have to take extra precautions — which slows down work with all the animals. "This has added a whole layer for us of extra biosecurity on top of a busy season," Ellis sighed, "There was not any concern of humans contacting avian flu until recently when a worker culling poultry picked up influenza. It's an especially challenging season with the addition of this virus." It has been worse in Europe. "This new strain of avian influenza (HPAI — highly pathogenic avian influenza) is hitting bird colonies very hard and we could be looking at a major shift in bird populations that may take years to recover from," according to the Tisbury Facebook post. Tisbury animal control officials did not respond to a request for comment. If you find a dead or sick bird don't touch it. Call Wild Care at 508-240-2255 or the Cape Wildlife Center at 508-362-0111. Report the incident to the state at mass.gov/forms/reportbirds. "We've been asking people to call us to make sure they're using appropriate personal protective gear, wearing gloves before handling birds," Ellis said.

HPAI has been detected in domestic and wild birds from Canada to Florida for the past several months. The Department of Fish and Game's (DFG) Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife), the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (M DAR), and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) are advising the public to refrain from touching or removing girds from coastal areas that appear sick, (njured, or deceased. impacted seabirds Include, but are not limited to, seagulls, ducks, terns, and cormorants. If a wild sick, injured, or dying laird is encountered, the public is asked to make a report at mass.gov/reportbirds (Impo.govlreporthirds). Additionally, if a domestic bird is found, please contact MDAR's Divislon of Animal Health at (617) 626-1795, "Over the past Week, Massachusetts has seen a substantial uptick in reports of dead and dying seabirds, including eiders, cormorants, and gulls;" said Andrew Vitz, MassWildlife State Ornithologist. "We are asking for the public's help in reporting observations of sick shorebirds along the coastline. Prompt reporting will expedite testing and diagnosis In cooperation with our state and federal partners who have been monitoring HPAI for several years." '*Aan Influenza rarely infects Humans," said state Epiderniologlst Dr. Catherine Brown. "Although the tisk Is low, direct contact with infected birds or heavily contaminated environments can sometimes spread the disease to people. People are urged not to handle or feed any birds suspected of being Infected,' ■ Reporting wild birds; the public should report observations of any sick, injured, of deceased seabirds. dor other species of wild birds, such as songbirds, only report observations of 5 or more birds round at a single location. The public can report observations using this simple webform at mass. gavlreportbIrds(Iformslrepor[-oiiservatioiis-of-dead-wild-birdsl. • Reporting domestic birds, the public should report sick or dead poultry or other domestic birds by calling MDAR's Division of Animal Health at (617) 626.1795. • Handling birds: The public should avoid handling any dead birds or birds showing signs of illness. if an individual must handle birds, please wear nitrile or latex gloves, eye protection, and an N95 face mask. Both wild and domesticated birds can become infected with HPAI. Raptors, waterfOwl and other aquatic birds, and scavengers are most at risk for infection, although any bird species should be considered susceptible. Birds may be infected with HPAI without showing any clinical signs. Infected birds may die suddenly, have decreased energy, decreased appetite, decreased egg production; soft: -shelled or misshapen eggs; swelling of the head, comb, eyelids, wattles, or hocks; nasal discharge, snicldng, coughing, or sneezing; uncoordinated gait; or diarrhea, Important to note, humans are rarely infected with avian Influenza viruses. Humans that have prolonged close contact with sick or dead birds infected with HPAI are the most at risk of becoming Infected.

The most important event, however, was the Brewster Ponds Summit 2022 co-sponsored with the Town of Brewster. The number one priority of the Brewster Ponds Coalition this year is to help motivate the community to fund a comprehensive, updated water protection plan that addresses ways to prevent phosphorus and nitrogen from septic systems from leaching into and polluting our freshwater ponds, the bay, and our sole source aquifer. This year's Pond Summit was an important first step toward educating the community about this need. At the summit, a panel of experts defined the problem, explained sewering and alternative septic system options, and discussed funding opportunities. As we learned at the summit, alternative septic systems capable of removing nitrogen and phosphorus will likely be an important component of the solution for Brewster. in response, the BPC invited Zenas "Zee" Crocker, executive director of the Barnstable Clean Water Coalition, to be the guest speaker at our annual meeting on August 13th. Zee will be talking to us about how the BCWC initiated and is funding a three-year alternative septic system pilot program involving 14 homes around Shubael Pond in Marston Mills. I hope you will join us for the August 13th Annual Meeting and for the other activities we have planned for this summer. Best wishes for a happy and healthy summer. Susan Bridges 7 -- Pond Summit 2022 Focuses on Brewster Septic Challenges Brewster Ponds Coalition Brewster Ponds Coalition The Brewster Ponds Summit 2022 was held on the morning of Friday, June 17, at the Brewster Baptist Church. The summit focused on the impact of septic system nutrient loading to groundwater and ponds. Septic systems are by far the largest contributor to the pollution of our groundwater, freshwater ponds, and saltwater bays and estuaries. While the town has done an excellent job protecting its deep public drinking water wells through land acquisitions over many years, much Iess attention has been provided to the biggest threat to groundwater and ponds: septic system nutrient loading. It is estimated that as much as 85% of the nutrients polluting our waters originate from septic systems. I Inzages courtesy of Bill Porneroy a 4_ 4 Pondster Coalition Leaders and administrators from the town's Select Board, Department of Natural Resources, Department of Public Works, Health Department, Conservation, Planning and Water Departments were all in attendance as five expert panelists provided an overview of how Title 5 septic systems worst—explaining how these systems provide little nutrient reduction as wastewater flows out of septic system leach fields into groundwater and ponds. Our media partners at Lower Cape TV kindly livestreamed the event through the town of Brewster Facebook page, where more than go additional people watched, and the LCTV recording of the full meeting is available by clielcing here.

Our big plan is to sample ig ponds based on our criteria of: ponds with town landings; heavily used ponds; ponds with a history of blooms; and ponds linked to related research. This is an increase in ponds sampled over last season and advances our program by testing new ponds. You can't reach big goals without a strong and deep team. We reached out in late winter and spring to members who participated in the past, along with others who expressed new interest to let them know of our plan. Within a couple of weeks, So members responded and asked to join the team! So with your energy and interest, our volunteer team has grown to support our big 2022 plan to make this all possible. You can expect to receive sampling and test result updates here on a regular basis. If the test results lead to a pond advisory, we will notify you as soon as the decision has been made. The Plan for 2022: SAMPLING SEASON BEGAN on May 30. Testing done biweekly thru October. 12 By Marty Burke We begin our sixth year of sampling Brewster ponds with great excitement. Our big plan is to sample 1g ponds based on our criteria of: ponds with town landings; heavily used ponds; ponds with a history of blooms; and ponds linked to related research. This is an increase in ponds sampled over last season and advances our program by testing new ponds. You can't reach big goals without a strong and deep team. We reached out in late winter and spring to members who participated in the past, along with others who expressed new interest to let them know of our plan. Within a couple of weeks, 50 members responded and asked to join the team! So with your energy and interest, our volunteer team has grown to support our big 2-022 plan to make this all possible. You can expect to receive sampling and test result updates here on a regular basis. If the test results lead to a pond advisory, we will notify you as soon as the decision has been made. The Plan for 2022: SAMPLING SEASON BEGAN on May 30. Testing done biweekly thru October. 12 THE PLAN: Sampling done at Bakers, Blueberry, Cliff, Cobbs, Elbow, Greenland, Griffiths, Long Pond, Lower Mill, Myricks, Owl, Pine, Schoolhouse, Seymour, Sheep, Slough, Smalls, Upper Mill, Walkers, for microcystin toxins. STAY INVOLVED: Be a citizen scientist by looking carefully at your pond and others you visit. If you see anything that looks, smells, or seems different, just reach out to us immediately. We will take a look and refer any pond for testing to APCC (Association to Preserve Cape Cod). GUIDE VALUES: Water samples tested are graded on a 3 -tier category of Acceptable, Potential for Concern, and Use Restriction Warranted. The Use Restriction category will be applied to ponds where results exceed one or more of the following three criteria: MDPH microcystin guidance, MDPH guidance for cyanobacteria scum layers, or where the Brewster health agent has already posted an advisory for cyanobacteria. Ponds that are placed in this category warrant posting of a recreational use advisory by the Brewster health agent. A Use Restriction Warranted pond will be marked in red on APCC's trap. We will sample these ponds weekly until the pond is deemed safe to reopen and the advisory is removed. Ponds in the Acceptable category have no levels of toxins found to be concerning. Ponds in the Potential for Concern category show test results that could serve as an early warning of cyanobacteria risk. The pond will be tested weekly. No advisory will be posted. To Note: Two new science projects will complement our cornerstone cyanobacteria program: • National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NO.AA) study to pilot the use of satellite imagery to monitor ponds. Study conducted at five ponds. ■ Anatoxin—a study to test a new method for the collection and processing of this little studied toxin. The study will be done at Lower Mill pond. Citizen Science work is an important part of what BPC does and critical to our overall mission. Continue to look here for program updates and monthly results, and at the APCC Cyanobacteria Ma posted on their website. 13 �t Y First day testing pond water by Carol Marcy Slowly slipping on long legs and boots of green waders toes touching last year's sand at boot bottom. The day is warm and beautiful a brisk wind ripples the pond bringing pine pollen ashore waves thick with yellow line the water's edge. I gather net and bottle tie thermometer to my belt and walk carefully into the pond feeling the water push against my body. Fumbling with net, bottle, and spindle remembering to rinse three times I fling it out and pull back a tangled net. Glad at least I'm still hanging an to bottle, spindle, and the clip is on the tube. I try again flinging it farther this time, dropping the bottle in the water luckily not yet opened, grabbing it pulling the net slowly back. OK one more time. Success water fills the bottle. Pond water flecked with yellow gold amazingly clear decorated by few festive tiny heart shaped lily pads long stems dangling down float here and there.

You may have noticed how easy it is to dig in your garden, how quickly our Cape Cod soil heats up, and how easily water drains through the soil. The good news is there are native plants that grow well in sandy soil! Here is the Town of Brewster's Approved Plants List. In addition, garden crops such as carrots, lettuce, strawberries, tomatoes, and zucchini favor sandy soil. When starting clover or planting bushes and trees, however, it may be beneficial to buy a few yards or bags of "off Cape" soil to use during the initial planting. Denser soil holds the extra water and nutrients needed to give plants a good start and saves water at the same time! This soil can be found at local nurseries such as Crocker in Brewster (sold by the yard) or Agway (sold by the bag). Brewster Youth Learned about Ponds on Spring Field Trips By Marcia Kielb 18 Image courtesy of Bill Pomeroy Field trips were a thing of the past for the last two years, but we happily brought them back in May 2022 at Long Pond, Cahoon Beach, and Smalls Pond. Doug Smith, our resident biologist, collected some unique specimens for the students to view after studying our ponds curriculum in the classroom before the field trips. The whole science piece really does come alive before our very eyes. Students and volunteers usually feel the research center part of the trip is way too short. Examples of what we saw included the following: • A plant that acts like a carnivorous animal (bladderwort); • An animal that looks like a plant (freshwater sponge); Lots of pollen; and • Water scorpions, dragonfly nymphs, and many more macroinvertebrate specimens. If you want to learn more along with the students, please contact Marcia Kielb at marcia.kielb brewster onds.or for more information on how to get involved! 19 We will also be hosting a one -day "research center" program on Wednesday, July 13, from 10:30 to 11:30 AM at Seymour Pond. This is in conjunction with Brewster Conservation Days. Space is limited to g students, accompanied by parents, and pre -registration is required. Grant Program for Brewster Ponds' Health By Ron Essig Brewster Ponds Coalition has grant funds available to support local, nonprofit groups, such as neighborhood or pond associations, seeking matching funds up to $1o,000 to support efforts that positively impact pond health. Two examples of eligible projects are construction of stormwater management basins and aquatic vegetation harvesting. Although most projects are one-time events, the SPC is also able to commit funding for multi-year projects up to three years. To ease financial burdens, the BPC can open a restricted account to hold contributed funds as tax-deductible donations and to pay invoices for project work. There is no annual deadline to apply for funding since projects will be considered as they are submitted. Feel free to contact info Brewster onds.or or 508-2558-98or for more details or to simply get advice on how to get a project started. Spotlight on a Business Partner --- Agway of Cape Cod 20 The brother and sister team of Josh Wile and Jessica Thomas are third -generation owners of Agway of Cape Cod and have been BPC Business partners for two years. Their grandfather, Roger Wile, a poultry and cattle farmer, was the founder. He opened Agway in Northboro, MA, in the 195os and passed the store down to his son and daughter-in-law, Peter and Susan Wile. In 1993, the second -generation Wiles relocated their home and Agway store to Cape Cod, where they opened their first garden center in Orleans. Seven years later, in 2000, they purchased an existing business in Dennis, then another garden center in Chatham in 2oo6. Though Peter and Susan officially retired in 2ool, Susan can still be found in the garden centers hanging signs and making everything look great. Josh and Jess grew up in the business, so it's been away of life for them—not just a career choice—and they have some fun memories. "I remember visiting my dad in the store as an elementary school Idd," Nosh recalls. "He would put me to work scooping bird seed. I would count up my hours every few weeks, and I would be paid in miniature toy tractors." Jess also has a story: "When I was little, my friends and I would ride our bikes down the rail trail to Sheep Pond. The water's always been so crisp and clear, and the cement dock was so fun to jump off of. It's been my favorite pond ever since." When asked what they would like our members to know about their business and community involvement, the siblings respond, "We're here for yau! We're proud to support 21 dozens of local organizations per year and always do what we can to keep Cape Cod a safe and clean place to live and work."
