Because of <br /> w <br /> c: <br /> these concerns they have proposed a town bylaw article <br /> that <br /> Y <br /> .`, would restrict what can be dumped back into the round. This <br /> P g <br /> ,Vi <br /> bylaw would make it illegal to "dump, discharge, in "ect z; p g ► � r or allow <br /> to be discharged, buried, or injected into the groundwater <br /> located within or below the Town of Mashpee an carc.ino ens. " <br /> -. P Y g <br /> The plan calls for the simultaneous treatment of all active <br /> plumes (the Western Aquaf arm plume will only monitored,itored► P Tans <br /> Lt. <br /> •Vie. <br /> to contain it have been eliminated, since thelume according to <br /> P ► g <br /> 3r` National Guard Bureau, appears to be stationary) ,.fPP The Plumes <br /> _ r•f vF <br /> }!$ will be treated to the a <br /> m ximum contaminant levels, as determined <br /> by the US Environmental Protection Agency. These levels will <br /> rry= leave some pollutants in the water. For the Cs-lo plume, which <br /> originates north of the runways and now may be travelling under <br /> Ashumet Pond, the effluent water will be dumped in Mashpee, <br /> i.�• 1Y <br /> 3 between Christ the King Church and the new High School. This <br /> area actively impacts on the zone of contribution of a future <br /> =1 <br /> munacipal drinking water well within Mashpee. From the treatment <br /> site, it would be shorter to dump the water on base, somewhere <br /> r: <br /> t over the plume. other plumes affecting Mashpee include the SD--5 <br />
