Board pauses decision on Kingsbury Beach Road sampling frequency pending additional lab results
Summary
Homeowner Eric Newmark requested a reduced sampling frequency for his seasonally used IA system at Kingsbury Beach Road; the board requested additional, recent monitoring reports (including post-season readings) and continued the request to the Sept. 24 meeting.
The Eastham Board of Health voted to continue consideration of a homeowner’s request to reduce the sampling frequency for a seasonally used IA wastewater system at 11125 Kingsbury Beach Road until the Sept. 24 meeting.
Homeowner Eric Newmark said seasonal occupancy and periods when the system is turned off may have produced spuriously high nitrate readings recorded in 2022–2024, and asked the board to allow sampling twice a year timed to seasonal occupancy. “That’s basically what I’m here today asking for is if I could have them do it just twice a year,” Newmark said. Board members noted that some monitoring reports are missing from the Barnstable County database and asked Newmark to provide up-to-date reports, especially post-season samples, so the board can assess whether seasonal sampling would be adequate.
The board directed staff to obtain and review the missing lab reports and continued the request to the Sept. 24 meeting to allow time for that data to be submitted.
