t <br /> Mr. Baker noted that typically phosphorus concentration samples are taken late in the summer and <br /> taken to the Cape Cod Commission. Results typically arrive in May, however, results from 2007 have <br /> not yet been received_ Torn Camberieri is aware and Ed Eichner indicated that the information should <br /> be forthcoming. Given the changes at the Cape Cod Commission, it was suggested that the <br /> Environmental Coalition may need to take on this responsibility or the Town Manager should inquire <br /> with the Cape Cod Commission. <br /> 4. Natural Fertilizers/Friendly Lawn Program <br /> As per the last meeting, this item will be combined with#6, Brochures and Handouts. There will be no <br /> activity planned until fall. <br /> 5. Grant Applications <br /> The Board of Selectmen will draft an RFP for a contract writer_ <br /> 7. Town-Wide Stormwater Management Plan <br /> The paving of Quinaquisett Ave. and storm drain project was delayed to Spring 2005 and then summer <br /> and the Sampson Mill Rd./Santuit River runoff evaluation has also been put on hold. The DPW <br /> Regulations and Subdivision Regulations have differing specifications. It is necessary for the town <br /> road regulations and private road regulations be the same to encompass the whole town. Catherine <br /> Laurent, DPW Director and Charlie Rowley, Consulting Engineer for the Mashpee Planning Board, <br /> planned to work together to develop a draft of combined regulations, but there has not yet been a <br /> meeting. <br /> Beverly Kane-Stormwater Management Plan <br /> Ms. Kane confirmed that there hasn't yet been a meeting, but that Ms. Laurent had attended a Planning <br /> Board meeting for an initial review of the Subdivision Regulations. The 2006-2007 NPDES Small <br /> MS4 Permit Annual Report governs the town's roads and was initially reviewed by the Environmental <br /> Oversight Committee. After the Committee's review, it was determined that the regulatory items <br /> would help the Planning Board with the Subdivision Regulations and could help the town meet its <br /> requirements. The Planning Board views this as a priority. The Board of Selectmen has voted to place <br /> x moratorium on the town taking roads until this issue is resolved. <br /> Certain maintenances and functions must now be performed in accordance with state regulations. <br /> Close communication is required with Ms. Laurent in order to move forward. Ms. Kane would like to <br /> invite Ms. Laurent to the Environmental Oversight meeting to address any questions and issues. The <br /> Chair will contact Ms. Laurent to request a memo update regarding stormwater runoff, the MS4, swail <br /> construction and the Sampson Mill Rd./Santuit River runoff evaluation. The Chair will communicate <br /> the information to Ms. Kane prior to the Planning Board meeting. <br /> Ms. Kane has drafted, and presented to the Committee, a document to educate homeowners about <br /> stormwater runoff. The goal was to make the draft direct and to the point for reading purposes, <br /> because everyone is busy, but interesting to encourage the average person to take the time to review <br /> and implement the suggestions. The Guide encourages homeowners to use the water falling on their <br /> property, and to control runoff. Individually it seems small but collectively, it can make a big <br /> 4 <br />
