A.
As allowed by MGL c. 111, § 31, the Board of Health of
the Town of Nantucket hereby requires that owners and operators of
all innovative/alternative sewage treatment technologies and all systems
where the soil absorption system is designed for pressure distribution
of effluent must report the results of all operation, maintenance,
and monitoring activities to the Barnstable County Department of Health
and the Environment. Such reporting must be performed in a manner
specified by the Barnstable County Department of Health and the Environment
and must occur within 30 days after each maintenance or monitoring
event.
B.
Further, when a system operator performs a system inspection and
finds that a sewage treatment technology has malfunctioning components
which have compromised the system's ability to treat sewage as designed,
the operator shall report on the system's status and any planned corrective
actions to the Board of Health and the Barnstable County Department
of Health and the Environment within 48 hours of the inspection.
The Board of Health of the Town of Nantucket, pursuant to its
responsibilities to enforce 310 CMR 15.00 (Title 5) and to facilitate
comprehensive wastewater planning within the Town of Nantucket, seeks
to compile information regarding on-site septic systems in a usable,
retrievable format. Accordingly, under the authority of MGL c. 111,
§ 31, the Board of Health requires that all applicants for
disposal works construction permits for subsurface sewage disposal
systems within the Town of Nantucket register selected details regarding
the application with an on-line database maintained by the Barnstable
County Department of Health and the Environment. A receipt of said
registration shall be required as part of the application for a disposal
works construction permit.
