4 <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Minutes <br /> December 9, 2019 <br /> Discussion of the Siting and Design Issues with Phase One of the Wastewater Plan: <br /> For transparency it was recommended that a street listing be defined and incorporated into the Phase I <br /> mapping. Mr. Gregg of GHD indicated that based on evaluation he has recently updated the mapping and <br /> would distribute a more refined map of the parcels under consideration and the identified street locations <br /> specifically impacted by this phase. <br /> Preliminary design schematics and radius show a significant buffer; 200' on average with a 300' buffer <br /> towards the Transfer Station. The proposed buffer exceeds the norm to what exists at the Willowbend and <br /> Southport wastewater treatment sites. <br /> In addition it was recommended the Town offer a tour of the Mashpee Commons wastewater treatment plant <br /> for interested citizens and for those impacted by the Site 4 wastewater treatment facility for added visual <br /> review. The Sewer Commission recommended to make copies available from the GHD presentation on <br /> October 17, 2019, and to post the information on the Town's website. <br /> Discussion and Approval of Warrant Articles for the May 2020 Special and Annual Town Meeting: <br /> It was agreed the Town is prepared to move forward with Phase I.
