Clean work map dated November 15, 2010 <br /> If I am interpreting the map correctly, the layout of the sewer areas for the <br /> Popponesset watershed seem to bring East Waquoit waters into Popponesset <br /> And Shoestring waters into the Mashpee River. <br /> Using on-site denites that only do a partial job will create unnecessary problems. <br /> What a denite does not accomplish will need to be made up by someone else. It is <br /> especially questionable in areas that have zero natural attenuation. <br /> Is there a reason for not including the Old Wading Place Road well site as a <br /> potential discharge location. It should be relatively easy to tie it in with a Keeter <br /> located plant. <br /> I believe the large sewer area around the rotary circle should be subdivided into <br /> three parts. The central area is basically where Mashpee Commons proposes a <br /> total of 658 housing units and the generation of 173,000 gallons of wastewater <br /> generated per day. They propose utilizing membrane filtration in their treatment <br /> plant with a nitrate output below 2 ppm. Why the town would desire ownership <br /> of the plant before development is completed is not easily understood. The <br /> southern portion of the divided area could be connected to a Keeter or Bartlett <br /> plant/site. The northern portion could be connected to the transfer station site. <br /> Perhaps, we should be learning from the Mashpee Commons planning and doing <br /> a thorough evaluation of utilizing membrane filtration technology. Any action that <br /> would help restore the Mashpee River to its early 1980s condition must be given <br /> serious consideration. <br /> Bringing the sewer area west of Santuit pond out of the Santuit watershed and <br /> into the Mashpee River watershed adds to the existing River problems. We should <br /> be looking for a discharge area that infiltrates the effluent in a Santuit watershed. <br />
