Dear Mr.Patillo,
After learning of construction that may constitute a public water system on Haydenville Road,Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection(MassDEP)staff reviewed files in the Northampton building,planning and
health offices. As a result of that review,MassDEP staff identified proposed facilities that appear to meet the
definition oh a Public Water System and require MassDEP prior approval under 310 CMR 22.00,before
construction of the facilities,including the buildings_
MassDEPDrinking Water regulations define a public water system as a system that regularly serves twenty-five
(25)or more persons for sixty(60)days per year. Facilities with thirteen or more bedrooms exceed this threshold.
The combined bedrooms and wells on common property are counted together to identify the total bedrooms of a
facility_
MaasDEP staff review indicates that the proposed condominium on Haydenville Road would contain sixteen 06)
bedrooms. If served by a common well or wells on commonly owned property,the proposed subdivision on
Evergreen Road would likely exceed the threshold as well. Also,a Turkey Hill Road condominium proposal for
three buildings,each with nine(9)bedrooms,far a total of twenty-seven(27)bedrooms,exceeds the threshold.
Until such time as the owners and/or applicants resolve these issues through complienee with all Public Water
System requirements,or Mass DEP determines that the project does not meet the definition of a Public Water
System,MassDEP requests that no further building permits be issued. If you have any questions regarding this
letter,please contact Douglas Paine at(413)755-2281. yt y'
