CHAPTER 6 - ANALYSIS OF LAND-USE WITHIN ZOC FOR TOXIC AND HAZARDOUS MAT. 

 Cape Cod Aquifer Management Project Final Report Page 51 



One hundred and forty one businesses were registered with the Barnsta- 

 ble and Yarmouth Boards of Health under the local toxics bylaws. Data 

 derived from the DEQE - Hazardous Waste Manifest Program were assessed in 

 light of this listing, and each of the 43 facilities covered by that 

 program were found to also be covered by the local bylaw. In addition, 

 only 23 companies filed Materials Storage Data Sheets (MSDS) with DEQE's 

 Right- to -Know Program (Table 6.2). 



Tables 6.2 and 6.4, and Figure 6.3 characterize the extent and loca- 

 tion of toxic and hazardous materials in ZOC #1. Quantity data reported 

 as part of Barnstable's bylaw are quite variable and do not present an 

 accurate depiction of activities in the ZOC #1. Generally, a nearly equal 

 proportion of reporters were storing oil, synthetic organics and miscella- 

 neous substances (including antifreeze). However, approximately two 

 thirds of the total quantity stored, approximately 20,000 gallons, was 

 oil, generated by auto-related facilities which comprise 40 percent of the 

 reporters. The records at the local boards of health did not distinguish 

 the type of oil stored (home-heating oil, diesel, waste oil, or engine 

 oil) .

Local Board of Health (BOH) inspections confirm that service and re-

 Zone. Although Table 6.5 indicates that only 44 percent of the total have
