5 <br /> Environmental Oversight Committee <br /> Minutes <br /> April 10, 2008 <br /> NEW BUSINESS: <br /> Santuit Pond Water Quality RFP: <br /> Discussion followed regarding the need for a Request for Proposal in <br /> concern of the algae/phosphorus problem in Santuit Pond. It was agreed <br /> the Cape Cod Commission(CCC)would be consulted regarding their <br /> assistance in developing the RFP. <br /> The draft scope of work relative to the Water Quality Assessment of <br /> Santuit Pond as prepared by the CCC was deemed a proposal to help <br /> address the concerns. The information prepared by Mr. Eichner detailed <br /> the following scope; to complete a water and phosphorus budget, review <br /> the historic water quality data and develop a citizen-monitoring program <br /> to collect water quality data. <br /> It was agreed that Mr. Baker would work with Mr. York to consider a <br /> scope of services for the RFP. The use of the scientific community to <br /> assist in the identification and remediation of the problem was also given <br /> strong consideration. Proposals based upon actual measurements or <br /> conditions would describe the source of nutrient/sediment interactions to <br /> give information to assist in the elimination of the external sources of <br /> phosphorus entering the pond. <br /> The matter will appear as an agenda topic at the next meeting. <br />
