Hi Amy,
Attached are the amounts that have been allocated to Brewster from the Big 3 settlement and those that are planned to
be distributed to Brewster from the latest settlement (CVS, Walgreens, etc) — which we have signed on to. The state is
planning to put a legislative fix in place that will allow us to direct and spend these funds via a separate account without
Town Meeting approval — but they haven't done that yet — so, whatever we receive this year (Mimi can tell you what we
have received so far) will fall to Free Cash. We will then appropriate that amount to the new fund next fall.
As we have discussed, I feel like we would be much more effective if we pooled our resources with our neighbors and
provided coordinated regional services. I have been disappointed by the lack of leadership/direction from the County on
this — they are ideally situated to take the lead. Have you talked to other Health Directors about what they plan to
do? Maybe this is a topic for an upcoming TA/M meeting too...
I appreciate your Board's interest and would invite their involvement. Perhaps they could designate one of their
members to work on it with us.

Subject: Opioid Funds
Peter -
The Board of Health, at their meeting last night, requested an agenda item be added to our next meeting (May)
regarding the opioid settlement funds that have been awarded to Brewster. The Board is requesting information on
proposed programs and allocation of funds with an interest in being part of the discussion for same. I provided them
with a high level summary of what has taken place to date.
Do you have any additional information 1 can provide since our meeting with Chief Eldredge and Chief Moran, or a
statement from your office you would like distributed? I will also confer with Mimi to confirm the dollar amount
awarded to date. Agendas are not set yet for our May meetings.
Thank you, Amy

RE: Pressure Dose Septic System Inspection Requirements
Dear Property Owner,
Cape Cod has a sole source aquifer, meaning that one underground water source provides essentially
all of the drinking water on Cape Cod. We drink the same water into which stormwater, grey water,
industrial wastewater, and sewage is discharged. The earth has natural capacity to filter and treat
wastewater to meet drinking water standards with proper separation to wells. However, data shows
increased impairment in water quality as the population in our communities continues to grow.
The Board of Health is responsible to ensure effective monitoring of the operation and maintenance of
septic systems to protect and sustain this most valuable resource.
In accordance with Massachusetts Regulation, State Environmental Code 310 CMR 15.254 (2)(d):
..... Pumps, alarms and other equipment requiring periodic or routine inspection and maintenance shall be
operated, inspected and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's and designer's specifications.
In no instance shall inspection be performed less frequently than once every three months for a system
serving a facility with a design flow of 2,000 gallons per day or greater and annually for any system serving
a facility with a design flow of less than 2,000 gallons per day. The system owner shall submit the results
of such inspections to the Approving Authority annually by January 3111 of each year for the previous
calendar year.
Health Department records indicate the property at this address is served by a septic system with a
pressure dosed leach facility. We are writing to remind you of your obligation to ensure proper
operation of your system by obtaining routine, periodic inspections as required under the State
Environmental Code.
If you have recently had your system inspected, please forward a copy of the report for our records. If
you have not had your system inspected within the past year, we urge you to do so at this time and
request that you forward a copy of the report to the Health Department. A list of licensed Septic
Inspectors and Wastewater Treatment Operators has been enclosed for your convenience.

SYSTEMS 5.4.23 Letterhead.docx
310 CMR: DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
1.5°2.{4: Pressure Dosin and Pressure Distribution
(1) Gravi Distribution.
(a) Dosing systems employing gravity distribution to the soil absorption system shall be
restricted to systems designed to accept less than 2,000 gpd.
(b) The dosing chamber and pumps shall be designed in accordance with 310 CMR 15.231.
(c) Distribution lines to the soil absorption system shall have a minimum diameter of two
inches and shall otherwise be in conformance with the provisions of 310 CMR
15.25 1 (Trenches).
(d) Septic tank effluent shall be dosed to the soil absorption system at a rate based on
volume and number of doses that prevent the ponding of the effluent in the soil absorption
system.
(2) Pressure Distribution.
(a) Pressure distribution of septic tank/recirculating sand filter effluent to the soil absorption
system shall be required for: a system to serve a facility with a design flow of 2,000 gpd or
greater; a system that is not designed to discharge by gravity either from the septic tank or
to the soil absorption system; a system designed for intermittent discharge of effluent to the
soil absorption system; and a system with a multiple soil absorption system, unless otherwise
determined in writing by the Approving Authority.
(b) The pumping chamber and pumps shall be designed in accordance with 310 CMR
15.231.
(c) The pressure distribution system shall be designed in accordance with Department
guidance.
(d) Pumps, alarms and other equipment requiring periodic or routine inspection and
maintenance shall be operated, inspected and maintained in accordance with the
manufacturer's and the designer's specifications. In no instance shall inspection be performed
less frequently than once every three months for a system serving a facility with a design
flow of 2,000 gallons per day or greater and annually for a system serving a facility with a
design flow of less than 2,000 gallons per day. The system owner shall submit the results
of such inspections to the Approving Authority annually by January 31" of each year for the
previous calendar year,
15.255• Construction in Fill
(1) Any system where fill is required to replace topsoil, peat or other unsuitable or impervious
soil layer above the requisite four feet of naturally occurring pervious material is a system
constructed in fill. Any system constructed in fill which extends either wholly or partially above
natural grade for the purpose of complying with 310 CMR 15.212 (depth to groundwater) is a
mounded system. All soil absorption systems constructed in fill shall be sized using the soil
class of the underlying naturally occurring pervious material.
(2) The finished side slopes of a mounded system shall not be steeper than 3:1
(horizontal: vertical). A minimum 15 foot horizontal separation distance shall be provided
between the soil absorption area and the adjacent side slope as measured from the edge of the
top of the two inch layer of 1/a to % inch washed stone aggregate or geotextile fabric cover. The
toe of the slope shall be a minimum of five feet from any property line, or a swale or other
drainage system directing runoff away from the adjacent property shall be installed. Adjustments
to the above horizontal separation may be allowed if a suitable impervious barrier is installed to
prevent potential sewage breakout. The impervious barrier shall meet the following
requirements:
(a) the impervious barrier shall be designed by a Massachusetts Registered Sanitarian or a
Massachusetts Registered Professional Engineer.
(b) construction of the impervious barrier shall be supervised by the designer.
(c) prior to issuance of a Certificate of Compliance, the applicant shall submit to the
Approving Authority an as -built plan prepared and certified by the designer that the
impervious barrier has been constructed in accordance with the approved design plan.
(d) the elevation of the top of the impervious barrier shall be no lower than the "breakout"
elevation, which is the elevation of the top of the two inch layer of 1/8 inch to % inch washed
stone aggregate cover.
(e) the recommended distance from the impervious barrier to the edge of the soil absorption
system closest to the barrier should be at least ten feet.

• Check with the local regulatory agency or inspector/pumper if you have a garbage disposal unit
to make sure that your septic system can handle this additional waste.
• Check with your local health department before using additives. Commercial septic tank
additives do not eliminate the need for periodic pumping and can be harmful to the system.
• Use water efficiently to avoid overloading the septic system. Be sure to repair leaky faucets or
toilets. Use high -efficiency fixtures.
• Use commercial bathroom cleaners and laundry detergents in moderation. Many people refer
to clean their toilets, sinks, showers, and tubs with a mild detergent or baking soda. p
• Check with your local regulatory agency or inspector/pumper before allowing water softener
backwash to enter your septic tank.
• Keep records of repairs, pumpings, inspections, permits issued, and other system maintenance
activities.
• Learn the location of your septic system. Keep a sketch of it with your maintenance record for
service visits.
• Have your septic system inspected and pumped as necessary by a licensed inspector/contractor.

fill over the drainfield.
• Reshape or fill the ground surface
over the drainfield and reserve
area. However, just adding topsoil is
generally OK if it isn't more than a
couple of inches.
• Make ponds on or near the septic
system and the reserve area.
Groundcouers for shade:
• Bunchberry (Cornus;
ChamOeon (Hcuttuynia)
• Ferns
• Mosses
• Sweet woodruff (Galium Odvratiirn)
• Wild ginger (Asarum)
• Wintergreen (Gadgheria)
Do:
• Plant grass or keep existing native
vegetation. These are the best covers
for your drainfield.
• Direct all surface drainage away from
the septic system.
• Use shallow -rooted plants (see plant
list above). Tree and shrub roots can
grow into the drainlines, clogging and
breaking them.
• Avoid water -loving plants and trees.
• Make sure the tank lid is secure.

Subject: DRAFT Brewster BOH Pressure Dosed System Inspection Requirement
Attachments: DRAFT OF PUBLIC OUTREACH FOR OWNERS OF PRESSURE DOSED SEPTIC SYSTEMS
5.4.23 Letterhead.docx; Pressure Dose Inspection Report Template 2023.pdf
To Engineers and Septic Inspectors:
The Brewster Board of Health, on May 17, 2023, approved notification to all pressure dosed septic system owners in
Brewster of the Title 5 inspection requirement of Pressure Dosed Systems per Massachusetts Regulation, State
Environmental Code 310 CMR 15.254 (2)(d):
..... Pumps, alarms and other equipment requiring periodic or routine inspection and maintenance shall be
operated, inspected and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's and designer's specifications. In no
instance shall inspection be performed less frequently than once every three months for a system serving a facility
with a design flow of 2,000 gallons per day or greater and annually for any system serving a facility with a design
flow of less than 2,000 gallons per day. The system owner shall submit the results of such inspections to the
Approving Authority annually by January 3151 of each year for the previous calendar year.
This educational letter (attached) provides an explanation of the regulatory inspectional requirements, as well as
the value of system maintenance to extend the longevity of the systems and to protect our valuable water
resources. The Board of Health is requesting a copy of any inspection reports completed within the last year, or
a copy of a new inspection report to be completed to meet the inspectional requirements as noted above.
Please also find attached a copy of a Pressure Dose Inspection Report Template which can be used specifically for
inspections required on pressure dosed systems. The full Title 5 Inspection Report typically used for a property
tranfer is an acceptable option but is not required for the pressure dose inspections.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and please do not hesitate to contact our office with any questions or
comments.
Thank you, Amy

On March 15, 2023, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healy announce that the State's Covid-19 public health emergency
will end effective May 11, 2023 to align with the Federal public health emergency. New legislation has been filed to
maintain flexibility and staffing in the healthcare and emergency medical services industries.
AVH- emergency protocols that were put in place will end opportunities for different types of funding. Testing and
vaccinations for Covid are still available at most pharmacies and Cape Cod Healthcare. Covid vaccines will be offered
with the flu vaccine in the fall. Barnstable County Nursing Program has vaccine in stock if someone is looking for a pop-up
clinic and they will be ramping up in the fall when the flu/covid season hits. The Town is still distributing Covid test kits for
anyone that needs them.
KCP-spoke about the annual renewal for Mass Health.

6. Annual Small Wastewater Treatment Facilities report"
*Chris Vigneau-Weston/Sampson — Ocean Edge
N:\Healthlfrom Shari\MSWORK FOLDERS\A4EETINGS\BOH\April523m.doc
CV -Ocean Edge had a good year with only 1 exceedance of BOD in January. There were no maintenance issues.
7. Art & Judy Arnold — 2149 Main Street — request to allow new operator to open restaurant prior to
replacement of a failed septic system
The septic system has failed at the property.
AA- a design plan still has not been received from the engineer. Hoping to have it done soon. There are buyers
interested in the property but have not signed a deal yet. They would like to be able to have a new owner open for the
summer season.
AG -asked if they had a mitigation plan to include inspections and pumping as required. She is concerned with the grease
trap.
AA -that has not been lined up yet.
DB -concerned that the inspection was done in January and the pits were full then and nothing has been done since. He
asked when the restaurant was last in operation.
AA -it has been closed since last November. The operator of the restaurant was in charge of pumping and maintenance of
the system, and he did not know when the last time it was pumped was.
KCP- would like to see a mitigation plan submitted in writing.
DB -would like to see something in writing prior to the Board's approval of this.
AG -asked if there was a timeline with the engineer on when plans would be done and when the installation would take
place.
AA -not yet.
AVH-if there was an existing business that had a system in failure, she would not close them down.
CC -if the current owners can commit to pumping every other day as needed, she would feel comfortable with allowing the
restaurant to open.
There was discussion back and forth with the Board.
Motion: Continue this until the next BOH meeting so that a septic plan can be submitted and a proposal for ow the owners
would like to run the restaurant with a failed system for the season. A written commitment to the BOH to protect the
interests of public health during the operation of a restaurant that has a failed septic system is what they would be looking
for.
DB -tanks need to be pumped, grease trap needs to be power washed and cleaned, d -box needs to be replaced, leaching
pits need to be pumped, side wall conditions need to be inspected and an operator, at a frequency that would be no less
than twice a week initially to see what the flow looks like, to pump it when it gets to 85% of the capacity of the septic tank.
Otherwise, make a recommendation that if the leach pit somehow still has leaching capacity, what you would do to make
sure there wasn't an actual overflow.
Motion: David Bennett Second: Kimberley Crocker Pearson Vote: 5-0 Action: Motion passed
8. Jamie Norcross -Representing new owners of "Guapo's" — request to allow owners to open restaurant
prior to replacement of failed septic system
Jamie Norcross, Attorney for purchases of Guapo's told the Board that the septic system is in failure. Dig It Construction
is working on a septic plan. They still need to decide on an installer. They would like to be able to operate the restaurant
for the season with the failed system.
N:\Health\from Shari\MSWORK FOLDERS\MEETINGS\BOH\Apri1523m.doc
JN -stated that Cape Cod Septic Inspection recommended having an inspection in May, prior to the start of the season and
also monthly inspections, which should be sufficient to determine the systems functionality. Pumping should be done as
necessary. The owners have engaged Cape Cod Septic Inspection to do this going forward. The system is functioning on
some level and the grease trap was empty.
AG -asked about the leaking septic tank and if there was any plan to fix that before opening.
JN -not currently, but if that is a request of the Board, it can be investigated.
DB -asked what the basis was for the failure.
JN- a leak in the tank and hydraulic failure with the leaching.
DB -stated he would be comfortable with this proposal as long as the tank was fixed prior to opening.
KCP-concerned with the pit and the fact that the restaurant has.been closed for an extended period of time.
DB -would like to see reports submitted within 48 hours of inspection. It could be as easy as an email to the Health
Department.
Motion: Grant temporary operation of the restaurant with the condition that the septic tank is repaired before the
restaurant opens and the inspection of the system takes place weekly fora month and then less frequently based on the
observations reported. The reports are to be provided by email with 48 hours of the inspection.
Motion: David Bennett Second: Penny Holeman Vote: 5-0 ' Action: Motion passed
9. Ocean Edge Resort, 2907..Main Street — Request approval for continued use of existing outdoor food
service establishment venue associated with the Front Lawn Operation
Philip Flath, Executive Chef for Ocean Edge stated that they had been providing outdoor dining for the last few years
during Covid and would like to be able to continue this for the foreseeable future.
SM -kitchens are all in good standing, sheds have all that is needed to operate. Most food is shuttled out from the kitchens.
There will be a cover from the shed to the oven on the lawn." The outdoor seating capacity is still within the septic system
limits.
PF -this would be a seasonal operation. Memorial Day to Columbus Day.
Motion: Approve the proposal based on the recommendation of the Health Agent and compliance with the State Sanitary
Code.
Motion: David Bennett Second: Penny Holeman Vote: 5-0 Action: Motion passed
10. Nomination of Animal Inspectors (Sherrie McCullough and Lynda Brogden Burns)
AVH- this is a requirement of the State every year. It involves quarantine and barn census and inspections.

6. Consent Agenda:
* 122 North Pond Drive- 300' setback
AG -this is a 10' variance request from the 300' setback requirement from the pond under the local BOH regulations. A
Title 5 Septic System inspection was performed in February of 2023 for the purpose of a real estate transfer. The
inspection report noted that the 1983 system was functioning as designed but was located within the 300' setback to
Blueberry Pond. The 3 bedroom dwelling is down gradient of the pond and the leach pit is greater than 4' above
groundwater. The system is compliant with the 1978 Code. Approval was done in-house.
Motion: Approve the consent agenda.
N:\Health\from Shari\MSWORK FOLDERS\MEETINGS\BOH\Apri11923m.doc
Motion: Penny Holeman Second: Kimberley Crocker Pearson Vote: 5-0 Action: Motion passed
7. Continued discussion and possible vote on Pressure Dosed System Enforcement letter
AG- this was brough up at a BOH meeting in February. It was intended to be used as an educational tool for homeowners
and not as a means of enforcement.
The letter has had some revisions.
PH -asked for a refresher as to why this is moving forward.
AG -it is a requirement under Title 5 and before the BOH first discussed it, AVH and I met with George Heufelder. She
noted that she came away from that meeting thinking that this letter may not be necessary. She is concerned with the
new Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) changes coming forward and the fact that homeowners may be asked
to spend a lot of money to add something to their septic systems.
DB- believes that if there is a regulation and there is reason behind it (which there is), then he is good with the letter and
he doesn't think regulations should be made if they are not enforced. He believes the letter should be sent out.
AG -stated that she and DB looked at some of the I/A system files in the Health Department and did find some reports that
were being done.
KCP-asked if the Board should start with commercial properties. Suggested starting enforcement in stages and a phased
approach may be a better way to go.
AVH-this will impact the office. She is concerned with questions the dept. may get and how to answer them. Expenses
may be an issue. She thinks that in general, this is not being enforced and stated that there is nothing specified in Title 5
as to the type of inspection required for it. She asked if the BOH was looking for a full Title 5 inspection report or
something modified.
AG -spoke about a 1 -page form that was found in one of the files that she looked at that may be more appropriate to use
instead of a full Title 5 inspection report.
PH -would like to add something to the letter regarding how this is an important piece to maintaining a very expensive
system.
There was discussion on the letter.
PH- went over changes she would like to see in the letter.
More discussion on changes to the letter.
Motion: Bring the letter with new comments included to the next Board meeting.
Motion: David Bennett Second: Casey D. Chatelain Vote: 5-0 Action: Motion passed
8. Discussion on I/A technology Noncompliance Enfoncement Policy and Flow Chart
AG -asked the Board if they want to develop a policy relative to the Board's approach to dealing with individuals who have
I/A technology in the ground who are not compliant with the requirements for nitrogen or phosphorus removal and, after
having developed a policy, do we want to begin to review those that are not compliant or do we want to move forward
right out of the box looking at those properties that we know to be non-compliant based on the County reporting.
DB- produced a flow chart previously with regards to what we would do if someone is out of compliance.
AG -stated that she and DB went through a number of files to determine why I/A systems were installed, etc.
NAHealth\from Shari\MSWORK FOLDERS\MEETINGS\BOH\Apri11923m.doc
DB & AG -thought that it would be appropriate to bring in some of the files to the next meeting for the BOH to review.
KCP- asked how this would interact with the management at the County level.
DB- it will all go through the local BOH.
PH- suggested the Board send a 15' letter telling the homeowner that if the report is received by a certain date, they won't
have to come before the Board.
AVH-the Board needs to define the 2 major categories that we will be dealing with:
1. Those that don't have a contract or have an expired contract
2. Those with systems that have a contract and testing in place but are not compliant
AG -2 letters usually go out and then they would be required to come before the Boar. That doesn't happen often. The
second part is: what are we going to do with someone that has a contract in place and does testing and inspections but is
still not meeting the numbers. Do we bring them before the Board?
CC -yes, that is what should be happening.
There was discussion about this among the Board members.
Motion: Carry the flow chart and this discussion to the next meeting
Motion: David Bennett Second: Kimberley Crocker Pearson Vote: 5-0 Action: Motion passed
9. Review and approve minutes from 1/4/23 and 2/1/23 meetings
AG -on the 1/4/23 meeting minutes there is a typo on page 2.
AG -on the 2/1/23 meeting minutes (with regards to Stephen Brown's property), a statement from Davis Walters, Building
Commissioner was made that "there were no health violations". She believes that this was misinterpreted and should
state that there are "no serious health and safety concerns".
Motion: Approve the 1/4/23 & 2/1/23 meeting minutes with corrections.
Motion: Penny Holeman Second: Kimberley Crocker Pearson Vote: 5-0 Action: Motion passed
10. Liaison Reports
AG- the Recycling Commission met yesterday and noted that there will be 2 warrant articles on the May Town Meeting:
1. Ban on Nip Bottles (recommended by the Recycling Commission)
2. Citizens petition regarding Plastic Reduction Act (full article is included in the warrant booklet)
KCP- WQRC did not meet.
DB- WQTF did meet and there was a presentation given by the Commission on their water initiative and working with the
Ponds Coalition. There is also a budget article for investigation of Walkers Pond.
PH — the COA had a Soft Skills Training course that was attended by most of the COA's on the Cape.
11. Matters not reasonably anticipated by the Chair
KCP- April 22, 2023 is National Pharmaceutical Day. Residents can bring unused prescriptions to the Police Department.
NAHealthArom Shari\MSWORK FOLDERS\MEETINGS\BOH\Apri11923m.doc
DB- noted that he attended the MEHA training and stated that the County has the capability to test for PFA's. He believes
the public needs to be educated on this.
He also spoke about the Opioid epidemic and the settlement money that is being distributed currently. 40% of the money
is going to the towns and he thinks that the town should advocate where this money goes.
AVH- met with Peter Lombardi, Town Manager and the Police and Fire Chiefs about this. There isn't a large enough
amount of money to create a position to deal with the crisis, but things are still up for discussion. She is hopeful that it will
be used to help citizens dealing with this addiction.
KCP- asked about people carrying Naloxone. She would like to see a fund to make it available to whoever needs it.
12. Items for next agenda
DB would like to put the Opioid settlement on the next agenda.
13. Next meeting: May 3, 2023
Noted.
Informational items were noted.

6. Update and discussion on remaining violations at 2624-2628 Main Street
N:\Health\from Shari\MSWORK FOLDERS\MEETINGSIBOH1May323m.doc
Stephen Brown was present virtually and David Schlesinger was present in person.
DS -asked the Board how he could get access to the grey/green cottage and to have the condemnation signs removed.
He stated that they want to use it for storage, and it would not be used for human habitation.
AG -asked about the shower and cooking facilities in the cottage. DS stated that the power and water have been shut off.
AVH- there are no other issues under the health code but there may still be Zoning issues.
DS -the zoning stipulation is that the cottage is on the property line. The way to resolve that is to combine the 2 properties.
They have spoken to an attorney, but nothing has been done yet.
AVH-the agreement that was reached between Town Counsel and Mr. Brown's & the COOP's attorney stipulates that the
parties agreed that the unpermitted grey structure on the property violates yard setback requirements of the Town's
Zoning Bylaw and cannot lawfully be used or occupied as habitable space or as a dwelling unit under said Zoning Bylaw.
DS -Conservation and Building would want some type of permit for it to be a legal structure.
AG -asked what the requirement for reversing a condemnation order as per the regulation was.
AVH-typically, it would mean a re -inspection to determine if it could be re -inhabited, but in this case, they are not planning
on inhabiting it, so there wouldn't be an issue as far as the Housing Code and the violations that were there. It would just
be a matter of the Board releasing the condemnation order.
KCP - asked if there were any concerns about danger issues with the cottage.
AVH — no.
DB — doesn't see this as an issue if they are not planning on inhabiting it.
CC -asked how the water and power were disconnected.
DS — water is caped, and the wires are disconnected from the breaker.
AG — asked AVH what other things were outstanding with this property.
AVH- gave a summary of what has been_going on.
• December 22, 2022 was when an order to correct violations was issued for all the violations found on the
property
• January 16, 2023 — received a complaint from an abutter regarding the unlicensed rooster and chickens on
the property and the excess noise generated by the rooster
• January 18, 2023 -the BOH held an appeal hearing at the request of the property manager in response to the
order to correct violations letter. At that meeting, the BOH voted to uphold the violations that were stated in
the order to correct
• January 25, 2023 — gained access to the property to confirm correction of any violations that had been noted
in the December letter and to list any violations that were still non-compliant. A summary letter was generated
of both the appeal hearing and the inspections, and was given to the owner
• February 1, 2023 — the BOH held a hearing on the occupancy of the campers that were on site and the
grey/green shed, which had been used for human habitation. The BOH deemed the campers and shed
uninhabitable and posed a danger to the health and safety of the occupants.
• February 6, 2023 — Health Department staff, along with the Building Department and Police and Fire
Departments went back to the property to condemn the campers and shed. All those structures were posted
as condemned.
• February 7, 2023 — Health Department received another complaint about the rooster and chickens and excess
noise
N:\liealthlfrom Shari\MSWORK FOLDERS\MEETINGS\BOH\May323m.doc
• February 10, 2023 — I received an email update from David Schlesinger that Michael Foster's camper had
been removed from the property. A reminder email was sent in response outlining the remaining violations
that needed to be corrected in the Burgess House rental units
• March 6, 2023 — another email update from David Schlesinger regarding the removal of Stephen Brown's
camper that had been sold. The Great Cape Coop was still working on getting rid of the camper owned by
Tina Sylvester (which is not occupied)
• March 14, 2023 — received an inquiry letter from Stephen Brown regarding the use of the condemned shed
for spring seedling activities
• March 16, 2023 — Health Department responded back to Stephen Brown and David Schlesinger reminding
them of outstanding violations to be corrected. Primarily in the Burgess House and the required animal permit
for the rooster and chickens
• April 18, 2023 — another email from the Health Department to Stephen Brown and David Schlesinger
regarding lack of response from the email a month prior about the outstanding violations that still needed to
be addressed
• April 26, 2023 — email response from Stephen Brown to the Health Department regarding the April 18, 2023
email. Mr. Brown requested to come before the Board
There are still outstanding violations: unlicensed roosters and chickens and minor repairs on the second floor of the
Burgess House ( 2 Air B & B units).
AG -asked if the Coop was still moving forward with licensing the chickens if the property is up for sale.
DS -stated that they are still waiting for the wetland's delineation before a sale.
AVH-stated that she received a call from Bill Grafton, Conservation Agent, in which he stated that the wetland lines are
being reviewed and have not been formerly approved by the Conservation Commission. He doesn't think the wetland line
that would directly affect the setback distances to the chicken coop would change dramatically to move the setback that
the BOH is looking for.
SB -stated that he had given Michael Foster, owner of the chickens, until Sunday night to remove them.
AG -stated that she did understand why they wanted to take the condemned signs down but is still concerned about the
use of the shed.
Motion: Approve the removal of the boards from the windows and doors of the shed so it can be used for storage (not for
human habitation) as based on the settlement agreement, with the provisions of the Planning Board.
Motion: David Bennett Second: Penny Holeman Vote: 5-0 Action: Motion carried
7. Discussion and possible vote on Pressure Dose Education letter
AG -had a few more changes that she would like to see.
DB -asked if this letter was going to all pressure dosed system owners or just under 2000 gpd systems.
The Board thought it should go to both.
Discussion on the letter and its content.
Changes will be made and brought back to the next Board meeting.
8. Opioid funding discussion
Funds from settlements have been distributed to Towns, which is supposed to be used to help people who have been
affected. Peter Lombardi, Town Manager, has told AVH that a group will be pulled together to have discussions on how
best to leverage the funds that were allocated for this region. The BOH was invited to participate and a liaison to that
group may be appropriate.
NAHealth\from ShariNSWORK FOLDERS\MEETINGS\BOH\May323m.doe
KCP & DB both agree that there should be a liaison.

Important Health Information
ome people may be more vulnerable to contami-
nants in drinking water than the general popula-
tion. Immunocompromised persons such as persons
with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who
have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/
AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly,
and infants may be particularly at risk from infections.
These people should seek advice about drinking water
from their health care providers. The U.S. EPA/CDC
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) guide-
r lines on appropriate means to lessen the
risk of infection by Cryptosporidium
and other microbial contam-
inants are available from the
■ Safe Drinking Water Hotline
at (800) 426-4791 or http://
water.epa.gov/drink/hotline.
Lead in Home Plumbing
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health
problems, especially for pregnant women and young chil-
dren. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and
components associated with service lines and home plumbing.
We are responsible for providing high-quality drinking water,
but we cannot control the variety of materials used in plumb-
ing components. When your water has been sitting for several
hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by
flushing your tap for 30 seconds to two 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 at (800)
426-4791 or at www
epa.gov/safiewater/lead.
Source Water Description
The town has five groundwater wells pumping from the
Monomoy Lens, one of the six groundwater lenses that
make up the Cape Cod Sole Source Aquifer. Each of the well
sites has a large town -owned tract of land surrounding it for
water quality protection. Activity is restricted to passive recre-
ation on town wellfield acreage.
Wells 1 and 2, located near Route 6 south of Freeman's Way,
were constructed in 1971 and are about 76 feet deep. Well 3,
near Route 6 north of Freeman's Way, was built in 1986 and is
about 90 feet deep. Well 4, at the north edge of the Punkhorn
Parklands off Run Hill Road, was built in 1991 and is about
101 feet deep. Well 6 (the fifth well site) is in the southern
Punkhorn area and was built in 2012; it is approximately 121
feet deep. The town treats the water for corrosion control and
to remove iron and manganese.
QUESTIONS?
For more information about this report, or for any questions
relating to your drinking water, please call Paul Anderson,
Water Superintendent, at (508) 896-5454.
Substances That Could Be in Water
To ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Department
of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) prescribe regu-
lations limiting 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 contami-
nants in bottled water, which must provide the same protec-
tion for public health. Drinking water, including bottled
water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small
amounts of some contaminants. The presence of these con-
taminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a
health risk.
The 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. Substances that may be present in source
water include:
Microbial Contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which
may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems,
agricultural livestock operations, or wildlife;
Inorganic Contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can
be naturally occurring or may result from urban stormwater
runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and
gas production, mining, or farming,
Pesticides and Herbicides, which may come from a variety
of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and
residential uses;
Organic Chemical Contaminants, including synthetic and
volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial
processes and petroleum production, and which may
also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff,
s, and septic systems;
Radioactive Contaminants, which can be
" a naturally occurring or may be the result of
oil and gas production and mining activities.
More information about contaminants and
potential health effects can be obtained by
calling the U.S. EPAs Safe Drinking Water
Hotline at (800) 426-4791.
A Note about Tetrachloroethylene
Derections occur where vinyl -lined water mains were
installed in the 1970s. 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 distri-
bution 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 contami-
nant concentration. The water entering most homes served by
these pipes should be well below reported levels. For specific
area sample results, please call the Brewster Water Department.
The following location is served by affected pipe and had
detectable tetrachloroethylene, as noted in the data table:
Heritage Loop.
The following streets had results below the laboratory detection
limit: 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 the end of the water main, Harmony Lane, Highridge Road,
John Wings Lane, Linda Circle, Oakwood Road, Pleasant
Court, Wagon Wheel Lane, Whiffletree Avenue, Wynn Way,
Gages Way North, Puritan Drive, Stonehenge Drive, Nathan's
Pasture Way.
Source Water Assessment
A source water assessment was completed in Brewster in
003 by DEP's Drinking Water Program. The susceptibil-
ity of the town's wells, as determined during the assessment, is
as follows: Wells 1 through 3 were rated high, and Wells 4 and
6 were rated moderate. While these assessments are serious,
the reason for the determination is the lack of underground or
geological formations, such as a clay layer, that would create
a hydrological barrier to possible contamination. This is not a
new issue for a good part of Cape Cod due to its sand -and -
gravel composition. It is important to understand that this
susceptibility rating does not imply poor water quality, only
the system's potential to become contaminated within the
assessment area. The town has wellhead protection regulations
and a groundwater protection district in place to oversee land
use. If you would like a copy of our assessment, please feel free
to contact our office during regular business hours at (508)
896-5454.

Project Name: PLEASANT BAY Lab Number: L2318284
Project Number: K47810DA.S.WW.700 Report Date: 04/13/23
Case Narrative
The samples were received in accordance with the Chain of Custody and no significant deviations were encountered during the preparation
or analysis unless otherwise noted. Sample Receipt, Container Information, and the Chain of Custody are located at the back of the report.
Results contained within this report relate only to the samples submitted under this Alpha Lab Number and meet NELAP requirements for all
NELAP accredited parameters unless otherwise noted in the following narrative. The data presented in this report is organized by parameter
(i.e. VOC, SVOC, etc.). Sample specific Quality Control data (i.e. Surrogate Spike Recovery) is reported at the end of the target analyte list
for each individual sample, followed by the Laboratory Batch Quality Control at the end of each parameter. Tentatively Identified
Compounds (TICs), if requested, are reported for compounds identified to be present and are not part of the method/program Target
Compound List, even if only a subset of the TCL are being reported. If a sample was re -analyzed or re -extracted due to a required quality
control corrective action and if both sets of data are reported, the Laboratory ID of the re -analysis or re -extraction is designated with an "R"
or "RE", respectively.
When multiple Batch Quality Control elements are reported (e.g. more than one LCS), the associated samples for each element are noted in
the grey shaded header line of each data table. Any Laboratory Batch, Sample Specific % recovery or RPD value that is outside the listed
Acceptance Criteria is bolded in the report. In reference to questions H (CAM) or 4 (RCP) when "NO" is checked, the performance criteria
for CAM and RCP methods allow for some quality control failures to occur and still be within method compliance. In these instances, the
specific failure is not narrated but noted in the associated QC Outlier Summary Report, located directly after the Case Narrative. QC
information is also incorporated in the Data Usability Assessment table (Format 11) of our Data Merger tool, where it can be reviewed in
conjunction with the sample result, associated regulatory criteria and any associated data usability implications.
Soil/sediments, solids and tissues are reported on a dry weight basis unless otherwise noted. Definitions of all data qualifiers and acronyms
used in this report are provided in the Glossary located at the back of the report.
HOLD POLICY - For samples submitted on hold, Alpha's policy is to hold samples (with the exception of Air canisters) free of charge for 21
calendar days from the date the project is completed. After 21 calendar days, we will dispose of all samples submitted including those put
on hold unless you have contacted your Alpha Project Manager and made arrangements for Alpha to continue to hold the samples. Air
canisters will be disposed after 3 business days from the date the project is completed.
Please contact Project Management at 800-624-9220 with any questions.

from dilutions, concentrations or moisture content, where applicable. (DoD report formats only.)
EDL Estimated Detection Limit: This value represents the level to which target analyte concentrations are reported as estimated
values, when those target analyte concentrations are quantified below the reporting limit (RL). The EDL includes any
adjustments from dilutions, concentrations or moisture content, where applicable. The use of EDLs is specific to the analysis
of PAHs using Solid -Phase Microextraction (SPME).
EMPC Estimated Maximum Possible Concentration: The concentration that results from the signal present at the retention time of an
analyte when the ions meet all of the identification criteria except the ion abundance ratio criteria. An EMPC is a worst-case

Data Qualifiers
A Spectra identified as "Aldol Condensates" are byproducts of the extraction/concentration procedures when acetone is introduced in
the process.
B The analyte was detected above the reporting limit in the associated method blank. Flag only applies to associated field samples that
have detectable concentrations of the analyte at less than ten times (10x) the concentration found in the blank. For MCP -related
projects, flag only applies to associated field samples that have detectable concentrations of the analyte at less than ten times (I Ox)
the concentration found in the blank. For DOD -related projects, flag only applies to associated field samples that have detectable
concentrations of the analyte at less than ten times (10x) the concentration found in the blank AND the analyte was detected above
one-half the reporting limit (or above the reporting limit for common lab contaminants) in the associated method blank. For NJ -
Air -related projects, flag only applies to associated field samples that have detectable concentrations of the analyte above the
reporting limit. For NJ -related projects (excluding Air), flag only applies to associated field samples that have detectable
concentrations of the analyte, which was detected above the reporting limit in the associated method blank or above five times the
reporting limit for common lab contaminants (Phthalates, Acetone, Methylene Chloride, 2-Butanone).
C Co -elution: The target analyte co -elutes with a known lab standard (i.e. surrogate, internal standards, etc.) for co -extracted
analyses.
D Concentration of analyte was quantified from diluted analysis. Flag only applies to field samples that have detectable concentrations
of the analyte.
E Concentration of analyte exceeds the range of the calibration curve and/or linear range of the instrument.
F The ratio of quantifier ion response to qualifier ion response falls outside of the laboratory criteria. Results are considered to be an
estimated maximum concentration.
G The concentration may be biased high due to matrix interferences (i.e, co -elution) with non -target compound(s). The result should
be considered estimated.
H The analysis of pH was performed beyond the regulatory -required holding time of 15 minutes from the time of sample collection.
I The lower value for the two columns has been reported due to obvious interference.
J Estimated value. This represents an estimated concentration for Tentatively Identified Compounds (TICS).
M Reporting Limit (RL) exceeds the MCP CAM Reporting Limit for this analyte.

Toolkit: When to Take an At -Home COVID-19Test
The Public Health Communications Collaborative
(PHCQ has created a new resource outlining
key scenarios and considerations for when you
A should take an at-home COVID-19 test. At-home
as;o COVID-19 testing is one of our best tools to
prevent the spread of the virus—alongside getting
vaccinated and boosted. COVID-19 vaccines
are highly effective at preventing infection,
hospitalization, and serious illness, but no vaccine prevents 100% of infections.
As the virus continues to evolve and cases are projected to spike seasonally, at-
home testing helps you to determine if you have COVID-19 so you can prevent
spreading it to others. Use this new PHCC resource to help your community
determine when they should take an at-home COVID-19 test and what to do
when they get their results. View the toolkit at https://publichealthcollaborative.

In the Spotlight...
Ending the COVID-19
Public Health Declaration
May 11, 2023:
On January 30, 2023, President Biden
announced his administration will
end the COVID-19 national emergency
and public health emergency. The
emergency declarations have been in
place since early 2020 and provided
the government flexibility to waive
or modify certain requirements,
including those related to health
insurance coverage. With the end of
the public health emergency, COVID-19
tests, treatments, and vaccines will
move to normal insurance coverage.
Vaccines should remain free for
people with insurance, but uninsured
individuals may face access issues.
Out-of-pocket costs for testing and
treatment will vary based on location
of service and health insurance.

Increasing Rural Resilience to
Climate Change: A Resource
Roundup for Health Departments
About one in five people in the
United States live in rural areas,
yet 97% of land area is classified
as rural, according to the U.S.
Census Bureau. Against the backdrop of a unique set
of challenges, NACCHO's Climate Change Workgroup
explored the role of rural LHDs as they set out to address
the health impacts of one of the most pressing issues of
our time—climate change. Increasing rural resilience to
climate change may be in everyone's interest, as urban
areas that depend on goods and services from rural
areas will undoubtedly be impacted. Rural LHDs can
start taking realistic steps toward addressing this issue
through a new resource roundup from partners, federal
agencies, and NACCHO subject matter experts. View

NACCHO is currently
conducting its sixth
iteration of the
Forces of Change
survey designed to
collect information
on how local health departments are impacted,
relative to major trends in public health. A random
sample of LHDs were selected to complete the survey.
If your LHD was selected, NACCHO asks that you
complete the survey promptly. NACCHO appreciates
your efforts to help develop a clear picture of LHD
infrastructure and practice across the United States.
Findings from the 2023 Forces of Change survey will
be released in winter 2023. Findings from previous
surveys are available on NACCHO's research website
at naccho.org/resources/lhd-research. For more

According to a

of data from the
Public Health Workforce Interests and Needs Survey (PH

left theirjobs between 2017 and 2021, exacerbating an
existing workforce shortage and causing a critical lack
of skills and experience that puts communities at risk.
The study, recently published in Health Affairs, compared
intent to leave or retire in 2017 with actual separations
through 2021 among state and local public health staff
at agencies that participated in the PH WINS survey in
both years. The study authors found that 46% of state

under age 35 and 77% among employees with less than

Public Health Dispatch • April 2023
FROMWASHINGTON
NACCHO's Local Public Health on the Hill
By Kerry Allen, Director of Government Affairs, and Lauren Mastroberardino, Government Affairs Senior Specialist
In early March, NACCHO hosted Local Public Health
on the Hill with leaders from across the country
championing local public health with their members
of Congress. This year's event marked NACCHO's
return to in-person meetings on Capitol Hill for the
first time since February 2020 and included a virtual
component for those who were not able to join in
Washington, D.C. Across the in-person and virtual
events, over 100 leaders from NACCHO, the Big Cities
Health Coalition, State Associations of County and City
Health Officials, and the National Association of Local
Boards of Health met with 120 congressional offices
to speak with a collective voice for local public health.
Members of Congress were able to join many of these
meetings to hear directly from their local leaders.
This year's Local Public Health on the Hill came at the
beginning of a new Congress, with new and veteran
lawmakers working to set their agendas for the coming
two-year term. Meetings provided an opportunity for
local public health leaders to introduce or reintroduce
themselves to members of Congress and their staff,
educate them on the important role of local public
health, -and invite lawmakers to visit their local
health departments to see first-hand the work they
do in their communities. In the coming months,
members of Congress will be making important
decisions about public health policy and funding,
and establishing and strengthening relationships
with local public health leaders in their communities.
helps to ensure lawmakers take the needs of
local public health into account when crafting,
debating, and voting on public health legislation.
Public Health Dispatch • April 2023
Participants were also able to highlight ways Congress
could support their work, including during the
upcoming Fiscal Year 2024 appropriations process.
One priority for local public health is to fully fund the
Public Health Workforce Loan Repayment Program,
which was authorized last year but not funded.
Local public health leaders described ongoing
workforce challenges and explained that an annual
appropriation of $100 million could allow as many
as 2,000 public health professionals. to receive up
to $50,000 in student loan repayment benefits,
helping health departments to recruit and retain
top talent. Participants also described the need to
break the boom -and -bust cycle of federal public
health funding and make predictable, sustained
investments in public health capabilities at the local
level, including for public health infrastructure.
NACCHO appreciates and applauds the local
public health leaders who participated in this
year's event. Local Public Health on the Hill is an
integral piece of NACCHO's ongoing advocacy, and
we could not do it without you! You are our best
messengers in educating policymakers about the
challenges facing local health departments and how
Congress can support you. NACCHO looks forward
to building on the conversations our members
and partners had in March and encourages you
to continue to engage with Congress on matters
that affect local public health year-round.
