3 <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Minutes <br /> January 14, 2019 <br /> Discussion on the Plan and its assumptions and conclusions: <br /> Three necessary approaches are recommended as follows; <br /> 1. Source Removal: <br /> Wastewater Management: <br /> New Town sewer facilities <br /> Regional facilities (Joint Base Cape Cod-JBCC) <br /> Improvements to existing private wastewater treatment facilities (WWTF) <br /> Onsite systems <br /> Stormwater Management: <br /> Best Management Practices (BMP's) <br /> Fertilizer Management Bylaws <br /> 2. Direct Environmental Mitigation: <br /> Shellfish aquaculture—Popponesset Bay& associated embayments <br /> Jehu Pond,Hamblin Pond, Great & Little Rivers <br /> Other adaptive approaches <br /> 3. Land Management Strategies: <br /> Land use/zoning <br /> Open space <br /> Recharge&water resource sites <br /> Conversion from seasonal to year round use <br /> Mr. Gregg indicated the nitrogen from new development and from re-development needs to be <br /> further addressed and included in nitrogen remediation to meet TMDL compliance standards, <br /> The Plan implementation schedule presently encompasses (5)phases over different time periods, <br /> The process of phasing allows for the utilization of adaptive management approaches, grants time to <br /> consider growth and the future assessment of the remediation process while easing cost constraints <br /> and disruption to the community. <br /> Improvements to the Mashpee River watershed are reflected in Phase 1 of the project scope. This <br /> phase relies heavily on the adaptive management approach from the shellfish aquaculture program. <br /> Phase I is the mainstay to improve the condition of Popponesset Bay. In this phase,the WWTF is <br /> planned to be sited east of the Transfer Station to treat and recharge. A modular facility is planned <br /> and included in the design for future expansion purposes. GHD, Inc. is authorized to conduct the <br /> Site 4 WWTF design development for Phase I. The $450,000 project has been secured with the use <br /> of CCC mitigation funding. <br />
