4 <br /> Environmental Oversight Committee <br /> Minutes <br /> January 17, 2008 <br /> Review of Action Items: <br /> Mash ee Hi h School: <br /> Earth Tech, an environmental firm is conducting a review of the Zone II <br /> boundaries impacting the Mashpee High School discharge facility. Earth <br /> Tech is expected to facilitate a meeting with the Mashpee Water District to <br /> justify a re-delineation proposal of the Zone It boundaries. The MHS <br /> wastewater treatment facility lies within a Zone II boundary since the site <br /> was previously permitted as a future well site. The Water District is noted <br /> to be exploring options for the location of an additional well in the Turner <br /> Road area. The re-delineation will alleviate certification requirements and <br /> additional costs pertaining to the discharge permit issued by the <br /> Department of Environmental Protection. <br /> Mashpee River Dredging: <br /> The Waterways Commission is scheduled to attend the February meeting <br /> to discuss Mashpee River dredging. <br /> Combine Water—Sewer: <br /> The EOC briefly addressed the matter of financing as it relates to the <br /> funding of the future sewer/wastewater project impacting the Town and <br /> other Cape communities. The Board of Selectmen would be consulted <br /> regarding the best approach for funding in a fair and equitable manner. <br /> The assessment of betterments and obtaining a possible real estate tax <br /> deduction was considered. It was noted that low interest loans are <br /> available, but the requirements are not fully detailed. <br /> Natural Fertilizers/Friendly Lawn Program: <br /> The County-wide program is anticipated to begin in the spring. It is in the <br /> developmental stage and there is noted support from the Cape Cod <br /> Chamber of Commerce. <br />
