7:00 Joint meeting with Conservation Commission: -
Discussion with Brewster Board of Health
• Proposed changes to Brewster Board of Health Regulations for pond protection-300
foot leaching facility setback to ponds
The Conservation Commission consensually agreed more parameters must be explored before it will
embark on supporting the Board of Health change in regulations for the setback of leaching fields,
such as:
• The direction of groundwater flow under each leaching field (in cases where groundwater does
not flow into the pond, the 300 foot leaching field setback requirement would not be
appropriate);
• Including vertical distance from the bottom of the leaching field to groundwater to determine
setback;
• Including properties in watershed areas, near watercourses and other water bodies (inland and
coastal;
• Focusing on ponds having water quality problems.
The Conservation Commission also requested the Board of Health consider dwelling expansion as
well as bedroom number increase, as criteria for mandating the upgrade of septic systems.
The Board of Health will send the results of this discussion to Edward Eichner, Water Scientist,
Cape Cod Commission, asking for Cape Cod Commission response.
