.. terrestrial water and nitrogen flows to the Bays: evaluate where it ends up in the Bays. This will <br /> be done by both team members. <br /> 4 <br /> -tidal flushing and dilation models: this exists already for PopponessaBay. <br /> -Evaluation of eutrophicaton <br /> -Evaluation of alternatives <br /> Jennifer .givers: discussed additional modeling details. Dr. Howes will do modeling for <br /> Popponesset Bay. Ms. Rivers has worked on wa uoit Bay for 4 years, and published 5 studies on <br /> it. She is Willing to share that data and model. They were EPA funded studies including: flushing <br /> model, nitrogen loading model, ecological risk assessment, estuarine response model. This will <br /> e integrated with the lopponesset Bay model and we will have a strong scientific picture of <br /> what is going on for nitrogen dynamics. <br /> Pipeline: the pn'mary focus is the New Seabury property. Weston and Sampson will take a <br /> serious look at the options Mere. They have never worked for New Sebu-y and have no <br /> perceived conflicts. They suggest early negotiations with New Seabury in order to evaluate the <br /> site. They have carried are allowance for doing some testing there. <br /> Site options are limited. Spray iffigation is a possibility as is sub surface disposal. Kingston and <br /> Plymouth use spray irrigations now. Its expensive and has to be evaluated. Location for <br /> subsurface disposal would have to be discussed early in the process. <br /> The benefit os Weston and Sampson: <br /> Critical Value Added: they provide a link with the history of waquoit Bay and Dr. Howes' <br /> work <br /> -can help the Sewer Commission sell this project,they have done it in the past. <br /> Weston and Sampson can help N hpee build it. It will not just be a study that sits on a shelf. <br /> QUESTIONS: <br /> 1. The proposal mentions confirming the watershed boundaries. we assumed use of the Cape <br /> Cod Commission boundaries. what level of effort will this require? <br /> Weston and Sampson responded that it will not be a substantial level of effort. They want to be <br /> aware of differences, if here are any and try to resolve therm. <br /> 2. Please explain how Weston and Sampson will approach doing nitrogen loading estimating <br /> taking into account seasonality. <br /> Weston and Sampson said there is a fair amount of information already out them. They will look <br /> at existing information and adjust it by use of current treatment plant records,by water usage <br /> information, adjust regional information with specific information for this town. For build out, <br /> they will look at town VAde averages, how its changing. <br /> . Tom said he did not see much about mapping/GIS in the proposal. How will you illustrate <br /> wort ? <br /> Weston and Sampson said heir intent is to do it with GIS and integrate it with the town's <br /> information so it can be used in different ways. They will pull together data bases and <br /> spreadsheets in different combinations. <br /> Tom asked if they have GIS staff in their organization? <br /> They do, will Blaze has been their GIS person for the last 10 years.
