A vote was taken and unanimously passed. Tom reviewed the status of the county WIC-Funded sewer system evaluation for Popponesset Watershed. And extension out to 12/05 had been requested by Tom F. and has been approved by the County Commissioners. The extension agreement has been submitted to the Selectmen for their signature at their August.l meeting. The project is likely to be complete by 9/05. Tom reviewed the on going work on the USGS Wastewater Discharge Area Modeling. Tom agreed to forward the PDF files to Don and Matt for review. Next item discussed was the Steams&Wheler contract scope of work. The specification has been revised to streamline the work required. The "pairs" of scenarios have been removed. This was an approached that allowed for the modeling to reflect either 1) the Town of Mashpee going forward without the action of abutting towns being considered, as well as, 2) modeling to reflect all towns taking part in the implementation of the sewer projects. The scope will now involve only the latter approach. The search and interpretation of existing data collected by outside sources for Waquoit Bay has been removed from this contract as the MEP report has been completed and the work is now unnecessary.
