MEMO
TO: Yarmouth Board of Appeals
FROM: Paul A. Wilson, Superintendent � ,P a.
SUBJECT: Body Shop, 3 Enterprise Road
DATE: April 7, 1987
This memo is to advise your Board that Attorney Shirley J. Sylva, representing
the petitioners to operate a body shop at 3 Enterprise Road, West Yarmouth, met
with the Board of Water Commissioners on April 6, 1987.
• A memo from the Health Officer dated March 26, 1987 covering 14 items that the
petitioner must comply with was also received by the Water Commissioners. It
was their opinion that all available precautions allowed by the Town had been
addressed.
The Water Department can not approve or disapprove the use of this property
as proposed. However, the Water Department does caution the petitioner to
the liabilities that can arise from the operation of a body shop within zones
of contribution to Public water supply wells.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, please do not
hesitate to contact the Board of Water Commissioners.
Thank you.

WATER QUALITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEMORANDUM
.TO:. Board of Appeals
FROM: John L. Mulkeen, Chairman
Water Quality Advisory Committee �°
SUBJECT: Robert J. White Auto Body and Paint Shop
Appeal No. 2431
DATE: May 6. 1987
It is not the purpose, nor the desire* of the Water Quality Advisory Committee
to review applications for variances or special permits that come before the
Board of Appeals or any other board or commission. Rathers we will address
broader concerns and make recommendations for general application as specific
cases raise questions that a board may wish assistance in answering.
In the case of the subject petition. the WQAC has been requested by you to com-
ment on the question of whether an auto body and paint shop should be allowed
at 3 Enteprise Road, Yarmouth Port. A variance or special permit for any busi-
ness employing toxic or hazardous materials, especially if located within the
zone of contribution to a public water -supply well, should be granted only when
all criteria are met clearly and fully. For example, in weighing claims of
economic hardship that may be made for granting such an appeal, the economic
hardship that would fall to the owner from contaminating the ground water, par-
ticularly in the area of a public water supply, whether accidental or not,
should also be taken into account. The costs of removing hazardous materials
from soil and ground water from a single spill could well force a small busi-
ness into bankruptcy. We believe that the burden is on the petitioner to con-
vince the Board -- through technical reports, proof of insurance, performance
bond, compliance with all relevant federal. state, and local laws, bylaws, and
regulations (e.g. the Handling and Storage of Toxic and Hazardous Materials by-
law administered by the Board of Health; Mass. General Laws. Chapter 21E. the
Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Material Release Prevention and Response Act).
or whatever else may be necessary -- that the granting of such a petition will
not jeopardize the health and welfare of the Town.
The WQAC is opposed to any business using toxic or hazardous materials being
allowed in a zone of contribution to a public water -supply well. Should the
Board feel itself required by law to grant such a variance or special permit
in a particular cases we recommend that the members make an extra effort to be
satisfied that all criteria are fully met; that the petitioner will comply with
all relevant laws. bylaws. and regulations; and that the petitioner is fully
aware of his liability and responsibility for any pollution he may cause.

ness employing toxic or hazardous materials being located in the zone of con-
tribution to any public -supply well. We have also suggsted some areas for
consideration if the Board of Appeals does decide to grant such permits.
If you need any further information from this committee* please contact our
Technical Advisor. John Moser. at 362-9518.
Very truly yours.

WATER QUALITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Selectmen
FROM: John L. Hulkeeng, Chairman X_
Water Quality Advisory Committe
SUBJECT: Advice to Board of Appeals
Businesses using toxic and hazardous materials
DATE: May 7. 1987
The WQAC was askedo along with the Board of Health and the Water Commissioners.
to comment on a recent application for a variance or special permit for an auto
body and paint shop on Enterprise Ways which is within the zone of contribution
to wells 1. 2. and 3. The committee discussed the issue at both of our regular
meetings in April. replied to the -Board of Appeals on the general issue of such
uses in zones of contribution* stating that we are opposed to allowing toxic
and hazardous materials use within zones of contribution. Realizing that the
Board of Appeals may feel required to approve some such cases under the current
state and local lave. we recmmended that they grant such approvals with special
care. We were -advised that the Health Department.examined the particular case
under the Town Hazardous and Toxic Materials bylaw which they enforce. We were
also advised that the Water Commissionerso having no law of their own to stop
such uses. deferred to the Board of Health.
The Water Department with their consultant. Whitman 6 Howard. would appear to
be the best situated agency to advise the Board of Appeals as to the effects of
allowing a particular use in a zone of contribution. Whitman S Howard has
developed all of the well fields$ have a model of the town's aquifer set up.
have used the model to define the zones of contributiono and have more data on
the tovnts water supply than any other one agency or consultant: The review of
the applications to the Board of Appeals that require ground-vater protection
under footnote 9 of the zoning use table has not been included in anyonets
budget, but it would not seem unreasonable to require the applicant to pay for
the review in the same way that the Board of Health requires applicants to pay
for their consultant to review sewage treatment plans.
Therefores we recommend that the Board of Selectmen ask the Board of Water
Commissioners to arrange with Whitman 6 Howard to review Board of Appeals cases
that may affect the Tovnis water supply. We further recommend that the same
request be made of the Public Works Commission when that is in place.
