J y <br /> MAS PEE SEWER COMNUSSION MMUTES <br /> MONDA Y 9 APREL 5 1999 <br /> OWN HALL <br /> Present: John Cahal a.ne,Torn Fudala,Nathan Weeks,Bill Mall,,Dr. Brian Howes and John <br /> Ramsey <br /> Meeting convened at 2:45 p.m. <br /> Stearns and Wheler handed out the second draft of their standard form of agreement. i <br /> Phase ; Alternatives: Toni would like to add var*ale grade severs to the list, <br /> 'age 7 last paragraph has an incorrect reference, should be 8B not 7B. <br /> Phase Iv: where it states"best available data" Toni would like that to be more specific. <br /> r. Howes thought the first thing to do is to look at subatersheds and discuss whether we can <br /> effect them. It is worth it for Dr. Howes to study? For example because of the arnount of <br /> nutrients coning into its is irrelevant to do this work or the area is likel'to be planned for <br /> severing anyway so this study is not worth doing. <br /> John is concerned because to pay for any mitigation we ill need to get funding from the town. <br /> The more people we can bring into the scope the better. <br /> r. Howes agree nth that. However, it you don't need the work, don't do it. <br /> John Ramsey said the question is ghat level of effort do we need for Waquit Bay to have a <br /> consistent approach with Popponesset Bay where they will have bathymetry data, tide gage <br /> information, etc. To avoid a full blown effort in Waquoit Bay, maybe we should concentrate on � <br /> smaller areas in the ernbayment. <br /> John said politically, we have to include Waquoit Bay but he thinks we should do exactly as is <br /> being suggested and coordinate that with S &W. <br /> r. Howes explained they will only use pre-existing data for Waq oit Bay, if it doesn't exist, <br /> they are not going to get i , they will estimate it. He does not think the system is cleanupable <br /> enough to warrant that find of effort. Popponesset has a different level of problem and it is <br /> almost all in Mashpee. <br /> John tried to summarize the process: S&W tells Dr. Howes how much nitrogen is going into the <br /> ground or Bay,then Dr. Doves determines hove bad some areas.are or which areas are not so <br /> bad. Then S&W tells us how to mitigate those problems. <br /> r. Howes added they link how what is going in the ground is causing what is going on in the <br /> Bay. S&W will run scenarios and as a team we have to determine if it will have the impact we <br /> want it to on the Bays. <br /> Torn said the.military base is at the head of this watershed, is there information on that? <br /> i <br />
