Town Counsel must approve the document and the Town Manager must still sign the contract. Mr. Cambareri suggested"that the request for funds should not take too long to be processed. Status of GHD(formerly Stearns&Wheler)Tasks: Mr. Fudala reported that a revised proposal was received from PAL regarding the subsurface investigation. The revision indicated that the entire site would be surveyed at no additional cost since PAL had also been contracted to complete a town-wide archeological survey. The contract will be finalized in time for the next meeting and work should begin in March. Mr. Gregg questioned the sites that were included in the proposal and Mr. Fudala responded that the original proposal included only the Transfer Station site. Status of Lombardo & Associates Tasks: Mr. Lombardo-requested that SMaST review a revised version of the Waquoit East scenarios,the results of which were forwarded today to the Sewer Commission. Mr. Eichner reported that the revised scenario met all TMDLs.and habitat thresholds for Eastern Waquoit Bay. Mr. Fudala questioned the changes that were made. Mr. Eichner referenced the Technical Memo's Table 1, a copy of which is attached,that lists changes by cluster and includes the original Scenario 3 and revised Scenario 3. Mr. Eichner noted a significant change with flow taken out of the watershed due to the Rock Landing wells in New Seabury. Mr. Fudala questioned if additional piping and increased casts resulted from the changes, to which Mr. Lombardo responded that there was an approximate increase g P PP of$10 million. Mr. Lombardo will forward a spreadsheet that will include the changes compared to the original plan. Mr.Howes stated that there was a lot of headroom since the threshold is being met under the target, allowing for less sewering or more discharge being put back into the flow. Mr.
