Page 2 of 2 <br /> because of historic abuse where municipalities dumped raw sewerage. Since "Grandfathered" <br /> pipes can now dump "Clean waste water" why can't Mashpee ? The Boston Harbor clean up <br /> confirms this solution. <br /> Another cost saving solution is to return this clean waste water to our environment "on the surface" <br /> where plant life and decaying vegetation removes Nitrogen compounds that pollute. Vermont <br /> presently allows spraying of clean waste water into woodlands to prevent Nitrogen pollution from <br /> reaching their estuaries and drinking water. Conservation areas have a restriction to prevent <br /> sewerage discharge. Clean waste water by definition meets the standard of drinking water, why <br /> can't Mashpee discharge "clean waste water" into conservation woodlands where the Nitrogen <br /> compounds that pollute estuaries would fertilize fauna, speed decay of debris and reduce fire <br /> hazards? <br /> Both of these solution prevent waste water, high in Nitrogen compounds, from being directly <br /> injected into watersheds by processing plants with sandpits. This prevents leaching of Nitrogen <br /> compounds from watersheds into estuaries and our drinking water aquifer. <br /> I suggest reading the five articles published in the Mashpee Enterprise 12/3/10 for additional <br /> background on these issues. <br /> Respectively submitted for legislative help...please respond. <br /> Joe Lyons aaredeye(a-),aol.com 508-477-6797 (H) 978-778-8337 (C) <br /> 12/13/2010 <br />
