This is a potential ANR subdivision of the property for 171 Arbor Street. In 20013 the Board of Health granted a well variance for less than 50 feet to a property line for the well located at 155 Arbor Street. As a part of the proposed subdivision of the abutting property, the owners are attempting to rectify the non-conformance and are proposing a land swap, which would increase the rear setback to 79.9 feet. Additional, the owners of 177 Arbor Street are conveying a 1,429 square foot piece of property at abuts the side yard. They are proposing to place a deed restriction to may this additional land to make this property undevelopable. Allowing the land swap and deed restriction will provide a 46.5 foot undisturbed buffer to the on well located at 155 Arbor Street. The property that with potentially be divided through an ANR is 171 Arbor Street. After discussion and on motion by Proctor and second by Fortin, the board voted to approve the 28 foot offset to one property line with the understanding that as a part of the ANR there will be an additional 50 foot buffer as well as the 17 foot offset being reduced to 13 feet with the addition of a 46.5 foot buffer that will never be developed. This is al l in accordance with a deed restriction that will be recorded in conjunction with the proposed ANR on 177 Arbor Street. All in favor. 413 HOLLIS ROAD Chris MacKenzie met with the board on behalf of the owner. The existing system on this property is in failure and there is high groundwater. A Presby system is proposed.

The owner is proposing to build a 1,000 square foot addition to include 7 new cat rooms (kennels under Title 5 definitions) to the shelter to provide more rooms the shelter cats. Currently the septic system is designed for a three bedroom residence, 6 kennels, 5 employees and 1 surgical room. The owner of the shelter owns addition land which increases the size of the lot by 2.82 acres. This additional land eliminates the need for a recirculating sand filter.

The property is located at 110 Burrage Street, which was/is owned by the Penniman Family and is the subject of DEP clean -up due to contamination as well as monitor ing of surrounding wells for contamination. After a lengthy review by Cara Olejarz of Nashoba, Jim Garreffi of Nashoba as well as the board, and on motion b y Proctor and second by Fortin, the subdivision plan was denied based on the potential residual contamination of the property.

All in favor. Notes provided by Cara Olejarz, Agent, Nashoba Associated Boards of Health 110 Burrage St - Subdivison A preliminary submission for a subdivision at the above-mentioned property has been submitted. I am working on potential comments for the subdivision submittal and will have them available for Monday’s meeting. I have attached some additional information to give background information on this property, including summary results of water monitoring. The property has a Release Tracking Number (RTN 2-15139). The property is approximately 56 acres. The property is associated with a release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The property was also used for sewage disposal in several sewage disposal pits. Two (2) of which were the focus of assessment activities are located in the western portion of the property. According to the Post Temporary Solution Status report, dated December 2024 by Cushing, Jammalo & Wheeler, Inc, the “site” is approximately one (1) acre of the 56-acre property. At some point between the late 1960’s and early 1980’s, an undetermined volume of “industrial waste” was disposed in one of the former sewage pits (designated as Pit No. 1). On November 4th, 2003, sub-surface soil samples were taken in the vicinity of pits #1 and #2, which revealed two (2) VOCs were detected in two (2) of the nine (9) samples above the reportable concentration. The VOCs identified were tetrachloroethene and trichloroethene. The results were 14.8 parts per million (ppm) and 10.9 ppm, respectively. The reportable concentrations are 0.5 ppm and 0.4 ppm, respectively. In 2004, sixteen (16) drums were discovered which were partially filled with an unknown material. These drums were removed and transported for disposal. In 2005, approximately, 30.15 tons of drum carcasses and contact soil were transported off site for proper disposal. There are two monitoring wells on the property that have been tested since 2004. The last water tests results in 2023 were non-detect for VOCs. The wells have not been tested since then. Two properties that are served by private wells within 500 ft from 110 Burrage St agreed to having their water tested. Other properties within this area either declined the testing or did not respond. These two properties are 77 Burrage St and 131 Burrage St. The results from the pre and post treatment samples from 724/2023 to 10/16/2024 are attached. Most of the results are under the Massachusetts Maximum Contaminant Level (MMCL). There was one occurrence in June 2024 at 77 Burrage St where the result for trichloroethylene ===PAGE 3=== exceeded the MMCL. These wells are being treating by a Point of Entry Treatment carbon filter (POET) that the owners of 110 Burrage St are providing. In 2021, the monitoring wells at 110 Burrage St were tested for PFAs. The total for all PFAS compounds detected was 20.3 which exceeds MassDEP’s GW-1 drinking water reportable concentration which is 20 ng/1. The monitoring well that was tested is beyond 500 ft from all known drinking wells, so the level was not reportable. 77 Burrage St was also tested for PFAS, and the results were below the MMCL. CENTRAL MASS MOSQUITO CONTROL Andrea Schnepf has been in contact with Tim McGlinchy, Executive Director of Central Mass Mosquito Control to get a clear understanding on how member towns pay for Mosquito Control. Mr. McGlinchy stated that he will contact Mass Department of Revenue to get a clear answer. The Central Mass Mosquito Control website has a YouTube presentation that provides information on the program and what is provided to towns and cities. Andrea Schnepf will forward this presentation to the board by email. 142 WHITING STREET A Stipulation is in place for the repair o f the property. Agent Cara Olej arz reinspected the property on February 25, 2025. Several violation had been corrected. The owner stated that work was scheduled for repair on February 26, 2025 and will address the mold on March 4, 2025. Additionally, a permit application for the porch has been submitted. The work is currently on hold due to outstanding bills/taxes on a different property. The owner has reach out on several occasions regarding access issue to the property. The occupant has been adamant that she needs to be present at the time of repairs. Ms Olejarz have informed the occupant that this is not a requirement of the housing code. The owner has continued to provide reasonable notice in an attempt to make repairs. Per recommendation by Town Council, given the progress of repairs and issues with access to the property, town council has reco mmended extending the stipulation another 30 days. Town council is reaching out to the owner’s attorney requesting a time for the repair once the permit issued. Ms. Olegarz has scheduled a reinspection for March 5, 2025.

Because of the distance between the well and septic system (less than 100 feet) a we ll test was preformed that showed a level of nitrates high er and 5 ppm.
