Mr, Fudala stated that Southport has a 172,000 gpd plant that discharges to their golf course. Mr. <br /> Lombardo suggested that the golf course could be utilized for plant needs. Mr. Fudala also noted that <br /> an additional 10 units for the Housing Authority's Breezy Acres had been recommended to be tied in <br /> to the High School but the Town's fee of$15,000420,000 to do so was considered excessive. The <br /> Authority has decided to construct their own plant. Mr. Fudala added that the Quashnet and Coombs <br /> School will be tied into the Mashpee Commons plant. <br /> Mr. Lombardo suggested determining the capacity of the two largest areas for potential. Mr. Fudala <br /> felt that the two areas would not be able to handle all of the Town's needs. Discussion followed <br /> regarding the type and means by which a system would be installed on the golf courses and drip <br /> irrigation versus subsurface was discussed. Drip irrigation would not be disruptive to a golf course. <br /> The capacity per acre would be determined by the manufacturer but there are many variations <br /> depending upon the proximity of the irrigation. It was noted that drip irrigation would be 6-8 inches <br /> deep and not affected by freezing temperatures and depth to groundwater would not be a concern. Mr. <br /> Gregg noted that accommodations_ would need to be made for the backwash so that it does not infiltrate <br /> the system. <br /> Mr. Baker questioned the Wading Place Road site as an option closer to the southern end of Town. <br /> Mr. Fudala suggested that the potential capacity be investigated, as well as depth to groundwater. <br /> Mr. Fudala questioned whether or not DEP would give up Zone 2 modeling for use of the USGS <br /> model in reviewing wastewater discharge permits. The consultants doubted that they would. <br /> Additional discussion ensured regarding re-delineation of Zone 2s, especially for the Rock Landing <br /> wells. It was noted that the High School recently hired Earth Tech to conduct re-delineation to present <br /> to DEP. <br /> Mr. Fudala will put together maps for each of the sites and forward them to Mr. Gregg who will then <br /> provide the capacity for the next meeting. Mr. Fudala announced that a draft copy of the AECOM <br /> study for Santuit Pond would be available in the coming month. Bog sampling will be included and a <br /> final copy of the report will be issued in June. A discussion followed regarding Lovell's Pond, and the <br /> seasonal flow of Little River. <br /> Discussion of Town Meeting Article to Expand Sewer Commission: <br /> The Attorney General has approved the Town Meeting Article to expand the Sewer Commission to 7 <br /> members. Town Counsel is now reviewing the legality of the Article in relation to the Town Charter. <br /> It is not known when new members would join the Commission. <br /> New Developments/Existing Development Requiring Wastewater Treatment Plants: <br /> As previously discussed, Breezy Acres has decided to develop their own facility. A potential assisted <br /> living facility is in the initial stages of being proposed across the street from Southport. <br /> Falmouth Issues: <br /> It was stated that Falmouth has created a CWMPRC in reaction to the CWMP,to create a committee to <br /> review the work. <br /> Sewer/Funding Issues in Barnstable,Chatham,Orleans& Other Towns: <br /> Barnstable has requested that a Mashpee Representative participate on their Community Advisory <br /> Committee.
