Mashpee Watershed Nitrogen Management Plan Community Advisory Committee 10-19-10 In conjunction with MEPA and Cape Cod Commission review of Mashpee's Watershed Nitrogen Management Plan, and with the work plan for the project, the Sewer Commission and Board of Selectmen established a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) for the project in October 2001. The CAC members have three primary tasks: 1) to review / familiarize themselves with the project and all of the project documents generated by our consultants, 2) to provide the Sewer Commission with their opinions / input on the proposals generated by the project (in the case of town representatives we consider their input a semi-formal indication of their town's position) and 3) to help educate the organizations / towns that they represent and the general public about the project and resulting proposals. The Committee does not have a formal structure or to meet independently from the Sewer Commission. The members are invited to attend meetings of the Sewer Commission on the project and to provide input verbally at the meetings or in writing at any appropriate time. The makeup of the CAC is as follows: One representative each designated by the Mashpee Board of Health, Waterways Commission, Conservation Commission, Shellfish Commission and Historical Commission as well as the Mashpee Chamber of Commerce, the Mashpee Environmental Coalition and the Mashpee Wampanoag Indian Tribal Council One resident from each of the Town's 5 voting precincts, appointed by the Board of Selectmen. Representatives appointed by the adjacent towns of Falmouth, Sandwich and Barnstable, portions of which are included in the project study area. The current membership of the Committee is as follows: Mashpee Board of Health: Burton Kaplan Mashpee Conservation Commission: Andrew McManus, Conservation Agent Mashpee Historical Commission: Lee Gurney, Chairman li
