Trustee Smith advised that a letter is to be sent to the N~w York State~Dept~_
of Transportation regarding the pipe that runs into Jockey Creek at Ulrich
Marine. Trustee Smith advised that the road run off should be diverted into
the new sump on Lower Road. He continued that the culvert at Joe Ulrich's property
is one of the major sorces of pollution of Jockey Creek. This situation has
to be corrected. Trustee Smith added that the State Ditch running into
Hallocks Bay has to be corrected also, as this is one of the last viable
shellfish areas.
Moved by Trustee Smith seconded by Trustee Krupski it was
RESOLVED that the Secretary forward a letter to the New York State Dept. of
Transportation regarding the above referenced matters.
Vote of Board: Ayes: Ail
This resolution was declared duly adopted.
The Trustees reviewed the sketch drafted by Trustee Larsen (Tidal Wetlands
Development Restriction Map). Trustee Larsen advised that this is only
a preliminary map. She advised that she is working on this map to clarify
the permit requirements in an effort to assist public. Trustee Larsen
will continue to work on this map for the Board to review again at a later
date.
Trustee Bredemeyer advised that the Trustees should be hearing from the
D.E.C. in regard to the Tributyltin (TBT) as a result of questions he
raised in his letter to them~recently. He suggested that if we do not
receive a response in the near future, possibly the Trustees could sent a
letter to our Congressman to see what is being done.
Trustee Smith reported that there is a meeting scheduled for
February 4, 1987 at 5:00 P.M. at the Town Hall to review the Dredging
Proposals for 1987 with Councilman Stoutenburgh, Chairman of the Waterway

PUBLIC HEARING IN THE MATTER OF
THOMAS W. CRAMER
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT A PUBLIC, HEARING WILL BE HELD BY THE TOWN TRUSTEES OF
THE TOWN OF SOUTHOLD, AT THE SOUTHOLD TOWN HALL, MAIN ROAD, SOUTHOLD, NEW YORK ON
THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1987, ON THE APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT UNDER THE WETLAND
ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF SOUTHOLD:
IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF THOMAS W. CRAMER TO CONSTRUCT A 1545 SQ.
FT. TWO-STORY FRAME SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE WITH ATTACHED GARAGE, DECK, WELL
AND SANITARY SYSTEM. PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON MEADOW LANE, MATTITUCK.
Trustee Smith: I believe that there are a number of people in the audience
who wish to make comments on this application. I ask that you try to make
your statements brief, as there are a lot of people here to speak regarding
this matter. I would like the people who wish to speak against this application
to speak first.
Secretary: Please print your name and address on the sign in sheet.
Ralph Costanzo: Dear Chariman and Members of the Board: From living beside this
pond for five years, I have become deeply interested in its wildlife. I can
name just about every animal on the pond. We have a number of endangered species
on this pond; Blue Heron, White Egret, Kingfisher, Muskrat, and one hardly ever
seen the Black Crown Night Heron. A lot of the animals have made their homes on
the lots being disputed over. My question is, "What will happen to the animals
when it is developed? Will the cesspools leak into the water and kill fish which
would upset the food chain of the pond?" The wildlife I have mentioned are a
mere fraction of the animals around the pond, and I wonder why this land should
even be disputed over if they~ are protected living and thriving in this beautiful
area. What will be left for my generation and generations to come if this keeps on
going. Thank you.
Trustee Smith: Thank you. Will you please sign your name and address. Does
anyone else wish to speak?
Thomas E. Reilly, Jr.: We were here several times in opposition to this because
it violates the Mattituck Estates covenants. We want a 50 ft. set back because
every house in that development has a 50 ft. set back. We don't wane anyone
to break it for any reason at all. Number two, they are going to reck the
wildlife as the young man said. Recently we had a storm there and the water
did raise more than five feet up on this so called "Dry Land". He has 200 feet
but only 100 feet is dry. So I can't see how he can build a house on 100 feet of
dry land and still not pollute the other part? You have a law that is good. You
have a 75' Wetlands Law and this is the time to test it and enforce it. Thank you
very much.
Trustee Smith: Is there anyone else who would like to speak?
Ed Curran: My name is Ed Curran. Ail I am going to say is that I'm going to
Thomas W. Cramer - Public Hearing
January 29, 1987 - Page 2.
go along with what Mr. Reilly has said and the young gentleman has said. I feel
the same way. There is no reason to repeat what was said previously.
Trustee Smith: Thank you. I think Dr. Martin Garrell from the Conservation
Advisory Council had some comments and questions to make. I think some of
you people may have some of the same questions? Let's hear from him now.
Dr. Martin Garrell: I'm glad I got here! A number of fallacies and misconceptions
remain in the~statement(s~ submitted by the applicant, and these should be brought
to the attention of the hearing Board. Unfornunately, the applicant's "Response"
is a documenn without page numbers, so we will cite phrases in order of importance
only. I think that it has already been said that there is a problem with the
Wildlife Metrix in Tables 1, 2, and 7. They have to be expanded to justify any
kind of statements of minimum impact. There are seasonal changes as well as
population shifts; those have to be given in detail. You have to talk about
Wintering habitat and you have to talk about Nesting Habitat. You can't simply
lo0k at February and March for surveys. There is a figure for conversion of
ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen to molecular nitrogen for the system and
that seems quite a bit high because of the saturated zones that are below the
cesspool. I feel that much more than half of the nitrogen would reach the ground
water. I have a real problem with the applicants feeling that the sampling of the
surface water is irrelevant or that its not appropriate. I feel that it is
absolutely essential. The only way to pin down whether or not that pond is
eutrophic/oligotrophic, that is what stage of aging it has, the only way to
pin down whether it is saline or fresh is to do some measurements. If you are
going to assess the impacts of further dwellings on that whole pond/marsh ecosystems
you have to do the water sampling. The minimum sampling would be for dissolved
oxygen (DO), NO3~N, NH4-N, PO4_P, and CI at surface and bottom levels. It should
be done over tidal cycles. It should be done over seasons, and it should be done
over the course of a year. It should be pointed out that, even though the pond may
flush with tidal cycles, the nutrients still go back and forth. Now, when they
replied to comments to the Conservation Advisory Council, Tom Cramer and Mr. Voorhis
said something about nitrogen and phosphorous from cesspools not being additive.
The amounts were not additive. I have, in my hand here, well sort of a E.P.A.
Publication which now is probably out of print because it is 1974. But its
Estimated Nutrient Loadings of Lakes and Ponds from Non-Point Sources (Referenced
USEPA 660/3-74-020, Uttormark, Chapin and Green.) This goes into the whole problem
of loading from pond environments. If you want to read about grams per square
meter per year being put in from run off, putting in from systems that are exterior
to these ponds and lakes. It is a good reference to use. It is from the University
of Wisconsin Lakes Labs originally. It was done by a person that I collaborated
with, Paul Uttormark, its Uttormark, Chapin and Green. I could leave it here for
reference. There was another statement about flow along the hydraulic gradient .....
that it doesn't really matter what you look at when you look at groundwater flow
than is perpendicular to a gradient. Well the point is, groundwater plumes are
a nutrient plumes or contaminate plumes are two-demensional. These studies are
done at Brookhaven Lab all of the time. For example, when you look at consentration
releases you can look at flow along the gradient and along perpendicular.
You can do different tricks with the modeling, but it is a known technique. It is
not cheap to do it. You do it with computer models and you do it by putting in
bucks for~co~mputer time with people who know programs. It is a common technique.
Certainly that the groundwater flow from cesspools, just like any contaminate flow
Thomas W. Cramer - Public Hearing
January 29, 1987 - Page 3.
you have to look at the way the plume spreads out. Not only along the direction
of the hydraulic gradient do you look at it but also transverse to the gradient.
Well, basically what I did in this statement (to be forwarded to the Secretary
for the file) I mentioned a list of references so that you could have them.
The final statement that I would like to make comes from, a pretty well known
reference that was lent to me by the Town here, this is a book on Environmental
Engineering and Sanitation. I am sure the people that prepared the report,
Cramer and Voorhis are familiar with it. This is from J. A. Salvatos book
the advisable distance between cesspool and lake or water course appears greater
than 100 feet. Public Health Service experiments with groundwater flow through
sandy soils have detected coliform transport of 232 feet and transport of chemical
pollutants for 450 feet. Moreover, "Since the character of soil and rock, quantity
of rain, depth of groundwater flow, amount of pollution, microbial growth medium
and other factors beyond control are variable, one cannot say with certainty
through what distance or thickness sewage must pass to be purified."
Trustee Smith: Is there anyone else that wishes to be heard?
Edith Boberg: I just want to add to something that Mr. Reilly said on the
covenants. It is a 50 ft. set back from the front lot line, not from the road.
Every house in Mattituck Estates is at least 75' It is not from the road.
Trustee Smith: This Board looks at the environmental aspect of the application.
Edith Boberg: Yes, I know, but I would just like to clarify that point.
Trustee Smith: Ruth Oliva.
Ruth Oliva: Yes, I would just like to support the conclusions of the Conservation
Advisory Council. I would like to say that you do have a Wetlands Ordinance and
I think in this case it should be strictly enforced. I think Marty's arguments
are a conclusive proof that this lot should non be built upon. Thank you.
Trustee Smith: Does anyone else have anything to say against this application?
No comment. Then I would like to hear from the people for this application.
William D. Moore: My name is William Moore. I am an attorney with an office at
370 Terry Lane, Southotd. I am also one of the owners of the piece of property
we are talking about tonight. Mr. Cramer is no longer the owner. I bought
his share of the property out and I now am the co-owner with Ben Herzweig who is
here with me tonight. I believe it is worth the time to review the history of the
application. The application of the Trustees was submitted together with the
environmental assessment form which is required by the State Environmental Quality
Review Act. This Board made a find to opposed action presented a potentially
significant impact on the environment and that a Draft Environmental Impact Statement
was necessary. The D.E.I.S. was submitted and Notice of Receipt of the D.E.%.S. was
issued by the Trustees on December 9, 1985. January 6, 1986 the D.E.I~S. was accepted
and I underline that "accepted" by the Trustees and Notice of Hearing was published.
The Hearing was held almost a year ago, January 23, 1986. That Hearing and the D.E.I.S
generated a review and comments by the C.A.C., Szepatowski Associates, Inc. and the
Trustees. Szepatowski's review says, and I quote "We find the D.E.I.S. to be a
thorough and sensitive examination of the site." They then listed comments that

and expensive review of the Environmental questions
half parcel on a filed subdivision map. You are
set forth in the Wetlands Ordinance, specifically
section 97-28, which has to be ~nsidered before you issue a permit. I would
suggest that these standards have been addressed in the overall S.E.Q.R.A. process
in a very site specific manner. The questions were raised and responded to with
this site in mind. The D.E.I.S. has considered the potential impact on the Wetlands.
In fact, that was the purpose of the D.E.I.S. to consider the potential impact.
The mitigation measures will perVent and damage from erosion, turbidity or siltation.
These are the criteria that you are considering for a permit. The D.E.I.S. addressed
the affects on groundwater, and that no adverse affect will be created with no
apparent controversy from Mr. Emilita and Szepatowski. He agreed with the findings
he did not disagree. He has not recommended a denial. The D.E.I.S. also addressed
the impacts on fish and wildlife. We hired an Ornithologist to go out there. He
sat and watched and counted and inventoried. The proposed action will not increase
Thomas W. Cramper - Public Hearing
January 29, 1987 - Page 5.
the danger of storm or flood tide damage. We are not talking about dredging or
the types of risks that would be associated with creating that type of damage
as a general concern that you consider on all of your permits. Again, the D.E.I.S.
was ~ite specific. This is not navigable waner so we are not concerned with impacts
upon navigation by the proposed action. The proposed action will not change the
course of any channel or flow of water. Again, we are not talking about bulkheading
or dredging. The proposed construction is on solid upland area. The test borings
were done. It showed that we have solid ground. We are not going to weaken the
lateral support. No one has suggested that we will. We are not proposing a dwelling
on a sandy bluff. The D.E.I.S. has been addressed in a comprehensive document.
The potential Environmental Impacts of the proposed dwelling. The comments have
been made. Responses to the comments have been made. The hired consultant who
was asked to review the document has concluded that we did a thorough, sensitive
job, and that we have satisfactorily addressed their comments. The evidence and
data is before you to make an informed decision. Ail we ask is that you make your
decision Qn the evidence as corroborated b% your consultant. Thank you.
Trustee Smith: Thank you. Does anyone else have anything to say, John Bredemeyer?
Trustee Bredemeyer: I would like to speak neither on behalf nor against this
application at this time, but to possibly raise some points for clarification
or at least for consideration by the Board as we continue our~review. I believe
that the original notification accepting this project was somewhat a semantic
acceptance in the sence that we were in possession of the application, and I'm
sure that we will be more careful in the future at least I will on my part when
we see them come in. I had done a very thorough review of the response commenns,
and the response comments, I think, were offered by the applicant in good faith
to try to rap up the questions that had arisen. As such, reviewing it I was left
with a number of questions myself. In a sence I think the Board now has a burdmn
on it to seek the answers to many of these questions. The process is not designed
to go on forever and ever. I have read some standard text and I do believe that
the nitrate conversion factor is a bit high. The studies that were cited by
Mr. Cramer are relatively short term and there are some very substantial increases
in nutrient loading below the sanitary system. I also was concerned that there
wasn't surface water monitoring. I had to go no further than my garage to check
nitrate levels of two very common brands of fertilizers and the recommended application
rates to see that the application rates for fertilizers were a bit on the low side.
I also believe that the proposal of the average number of residents per household
in generating nitrate data may not be valid, because we are not going to be dealing
with the fictitious 2.65 persons living there. I would like to know what we do with
that 2.65 person? I also question from the background of water supply this 15 parts
per million nitrate in the groundwater in that area. I think that is a bit higher
than what would be actually seen~in that area. It results in a comparison against
what the calculated nitrate loading on the site are. It makes it look more favorable.
I believe that we have an obligation to look very carefully at the current land use
directly around the pond. There has been historically some devegetation down close
to the water. It should be looked with in respect to this application. I also
believe that the Impact Statement didn't look very carefully at how close the
community does adhere to its own values, as far as the 50' set back. I believe
that we have an obligation to look at these issues very closely also. I think that
we have to address the uniqueness of the possibility that a dwelling here will also
mean a dwelling on neighboring lots. It will essentially mean that the potential

for development of an entire 50% of a creek in a relatively rapid fashion. I also
personally do not agree with the contention of the Town Planner, nor do I believe
that it was his position, to make a rendered decision of build ability. I believe
that we are the elected Board that has to stand accountable for that decision.
I believe, at least for my part, when I voted to send it out to Mr. Emilita
that it was in the sence that we wanted additional technical information, if you
will "A tree with some branches to hang some ornaments on." I believe that I have
addressed most all of my work on this to date. I guess I would like to see the
Board sit down and discuss my comments and those of the Conservation Advisory
Council and the public record and decide where we are going to go. Thank you.
Trustee Smith: Does anyone else have any comments at this time?
Trustee Larsen: Mr. Cramer was the surveyor on the property. He is the licensed
public surveyor. I feel that it would be in the best interest of the Board to
possibly have a second survey performed. The elevations in some sections do appear
to be lower than 10' Also, with the additional information we received regarding
the rise in the water level leaving only 100 ft. of property that was not covered
by surface water during storm tides and heavy rains and winds I feel that this is
something that should be looked into. I think we should have a survey performed
at one foot contours so that we are sure of the contours here. I would like to
ask the Board to review that. Possibly a second survey and possibly by ~ surveyor
of our choice?
Trustee Krupski: Who would ~ay for this Ellen?
Trustee Larsen: That's the question. It would probably cost about Two or Three
Thousand Dollars to have this done.
Trustee Smith: Thank you. Does anyone else have anything to say?
Robert Costanzo: I would just like to mention that last year the Trustees requested
from the Highway Dept. and also Vector Control to clear out the pipes, or replace
the pipes. The Highway Dept. has that requisition. They are still waiting because
of a problem with money. What I am saying is that the pipes right now are approximately
3/4 clogged. The film, I know it is poor. I have better pictures of the last storm
and every time we have a storm, or extremely high tide or bad weather that waterway
is just about up to the road like Mr. Reil]y said. The elevation as Mr. Reilly
said is poor.
Trustee Smith: Does anyone else have anything to say?
Benjamin Herzweig: It was not my intention to speak tonight. I'm really not
prepared to speak, I let Bill handle it all. He is a very fine Lawyer. He used
to be an associate of my Law Firm in Patchogue. I have a question. As a result
of the substantial litigation that I have done recently with S.E.Q.R.A., my
understanding of S.E.Q.R.A. is than it has a beginning and an end. We were here
last time on January 23, 1986 and Dr. Garrell raised a &qt of ~uest£ons. I'm
surprised that he is raising questions now, that he had ample time to raise back on
January 23, 1986.

Dr. Martin Garrell: Dr. Garrell read your comments.
Benjamin Herzweig: Dr. Garrell, I did not write those comments, I apologize.
The second point as an American Citizen, Suffolk County Resident who has a
strong sence of frustration, how much money do I have to spend? How much
inconvenience do I have to have? Dr. Garrell, I will tell you something
right now, Dr. Garrell we will be back here. I hope not. Dr. Garrell will
have another criticism. We will respond to his criticism. You will have
another criticism. It will never end. In litigation there is a beginning and
there is an end. It doesn't go on forever. The young gentleman who spoke
earlier about the wildlife, it has been a long time since I read the Environmental
Impact Statement. We hired, at no small expense to ourselves a Professor from
I think Suffolk Counny Community College, Mr. John Black. He sat on the lot
he said, "Yes, there are indigenous wildlife there, none~of which are endangered
species." There is so much that I can say to you; anger prevents me from saying
it to you. As I sit here now, I can remember that someone callsd me a "Carpetbagger."
Someone wrote to you and accused us of being vultures. We are nothing of the sort.
Ail I hear are nitrate levels. Books that may be quoted out of context.
Data that may be out of date, on a 1974 survey? The point is you did accept
this Draft Environmental Impact Statement. With all do respect to the Trustees
spoken earlier, I personally object to the back tracking now. I have to be
careful of what I say. I do not want to offend anyone. You did accept the
document and you do have to accept the consequence of your action. Bill Moore
and I have spent a-lot of tim~ ~and we have spent a lot of:mone~ We have'done a
very thorough job. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement spea~s for itself.
You own Planner has concured with our views.
Trustee Smith: I sympathize with you. This Board has done a lot of work_Qn-this
also. We are doing our best, we want to get this resolved.
Benjamin Herzweig: I understand that, I sympathize with you. I used to be a
Public Official, I used to represent Public Officials. I ~nderstand the burden
that you are under. Once I left the Public Sector into the Private Sector I would
like this Board to understand some of the concerns that those of us in the
Private Sector have. One of them is the growing frustration that we have in
dealing with an articulate minority that knows how to use a bureaucracy against us.
That is all I have to say. Thank you.
Trustee Smith: Anyone else wish to speak?
John Dabrowski: We are taxpayers. I want to remind you. I'll bet if you look at
that community, right, and you sympathize with us, you pay taxes too. I'll bet on
an average we are paying $3,000 or better. There are probably 40 or 50 homes in
there. We do this religiously, okay. Right. Every year we sock our dollars
up and we give them to you. To get you guys here to do your job, right? One of
your jobs is to protect us, right? So that we don't have to come down here, we
have delegated the authority to you to make some decisions in the name of good
government. In the name of I believe, what wnuld be~.the popular consensus amongst
your constituants regarding any particular matter. You are serving the people. We
are the people. You are the Government. You have the power. We have deligated
it to you. I don't want to come down here time and time again. I can emphasize
with that gentleman over there. But, I believe someone is not hearing us. We are

not the minority in this case. We are the majority. In this particular
instance I would like to believe that we are. I do believe that we should
be heard. I think that his will all end when the minority comes to their
senses and says, Hey, not only is this wrong from what tradition or prescience
has said if you want to respect our covenants, but also With regard to. all of
the people there who seem to be opponents to the development of that proper'ty

here.
Trustee. Smith: Thank you.
The following letter was requested to be part of the public hearing record:
Dear Henry: The most recent legal notices indicate that Thomas Cramer's
application, to build on Meadow Lane in Mattituck Estates, will again be considered
on January 29th. Kathleen & I strenuously object to this application. The property
in question is not large enouth to permit construction of the house, complying
with existing ordinances and adhering to the covenants of our association. There
would be intrusion into a clearly defined wetlands area, which the ordinances were
enacted to protedt. There is simply no good reason to grant Cramer's application.
As Marty Garrell so eloquently pointed out the last time this matter was reviewed,
the same environmental protections. Mr. Cramer has sworn to enforce and uphold in
Brookhaven Town .... he seeks to circumvent here, and for what reason? The pursuit
of money. As you and all the Town Trustees well know, the land speculators are
poised at our borders, ready to swoop down like vultures on any parcel. There is
no better time to send them a clear message. Development within existing ordinances
will be permitted; variances for the sale of greed will not. I most respectfully
request that this letter be made part of th~ official record on January 29, 1987.
Very truly yours, Bob Bennett, 55 Azelea Road, Mattituck.
Trustee Smith: Are there any other comments? (No comments.) Then I will close
this public hearing in the matter of the application of Thomas W. Cramer at
8:07 P.M.

published papers availabel on request.)
During the period 1980-present, I served as researcher and consultant to
Department of Applied Science at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Part of
my research involved groundwater contamination from subsurface injection of
fluids and chemicals used in petroleum production. (Two reports, two published
papers available on request.)
I currently hold the titles of Associate Professor and Chairman of the

Re:
Wetlands Application No. 312 - Meadow Lane
Response of Applicant to Comments on DEIS
Public Hearing - January 29, 1987
A number of fallacies and misconceptions remain in the statement(s)
submitted by the applicant, and these should be brought to the
attention of the hearing board. Unfortunately the applicant's "Response"
is a document without page numbers, so we will cite phrases in order
of importance only.
Nitrogen and phosphorous amounts from fertilization and from
cesspools are most certainly additive. (See Limnological studies
from University of Wisconsin at Madison, Ref. Estimating Nutrient
[xoadings of lakes from Non-Point Sources USEPA 660/3-74-020,
Uttormark, Chapin and Green.)
This is the standard techniques used to predict lake loading
by nutrients. The 7.32 mg/I figure for nitrogen concentration
in recharge water may be a "red herring" because each additional
dwelling on the pond adds to the nitrogen and because the current
levels in groundwater may fluctuate substantially. The same
ho ds true for phosphorous.
2 - Sampling of surface waters of the pond over at least one annual
cycle and over tidal cycles is more than appropriate. It's absolutely
essential. This is the only way to pin down whether or not
the pond is saline/fresh, eutrophic/oligotrophic. Such questions
must be addressed if we are to guess the impacts of further
dwe lings on the pond-marshes, ecosystem. The minimal sampling
wou d be for dissolved oxygen (DO), NO3-N, NH4-N' PO4-P,
anct CI at surface and bottom. It should be pointed out that,
.~;:--.~ven though the pond may flush with tidal cycles, the nutrients
still go back and forth.
3 - Although groundwater certainly flows in the direction of the
hydraulic gradient, the plume fcom any source, well or cesspool
is not merely longitudinal, but has a transverse dimension. In
fact the horizontal extent is frequently half the longitudinal
extent in pea-gravel and sand aquifers. It is the overall shape
of the plume that counts. Plume modelling similar to studies
at Brookhaven Land and Lawrence Livermore (e.g.J. Bear,
Dynamics of Fluids In Porous Media, American Elseviem, Inc.,
_. N~_w_,~_(k, 1972; J. L. Wilson and P.J. Mit[er, Two-dimensional
Page 2 -
plume in uniform groundwater flow, ASCE, J. Hydraul. Div.
104, HY4, 503-14 (1978); R.B. Codell, Discussion of two-demensional
plume in uniform grounwater flow, ASCE, J. Hydraul. Div. 104,
HY12, 1682-3 (1978)) could show rather good communication
between the applicant's cesspool and the open water area.
The figure given for conversion of NH.4 and N03-N2to N seems
too high because of the supersaturated zones below the cesspools.
More than half the nitrogen will reach the groundwater.
The wildlife matrix of Tables I, II and VII should be expanded
to justify any statements of "minimum inpact". Seasona changes
as well as populations should be given in detail, As wintering
and sp~.ing nesting habitat, the pond must be surveyed prior
to February and after March.
The applicant give short shrift to the travel of pollutiants through
the ground. From tables in a standard text (Environmental
Engineering and Sanitation by J. A. Salvato, Wiley, 1982) the
advisable distance between cesspool and lake or watercourse
appears greater than 100 feet. Public Health Service experiments
with groundwater flow through sandy soils have detected colifor.,m
transport of 232 feet and transport of chemical pollu'-tants for
450 feet. Moreover, "since the character of soil and rock, quantity
of rain, depth of groundwater flow, amount of pollution, microbial
growth medium and other factors beyond control are variable,
one cannot say with certainty through what dist~a~e,":o~ tl~;fckness
sewage must pass to be purified." (Ref. p. 177)

Dr. Martin H. Garrell

Advisory Council
