Mr. Jack gave an overview of the regulatory background and proposed revisions to Title V regulations as outlined by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) at the Select Board's July 11, 2022 meeting. The proposed regulatory framework includes the designation of Natural Resource Area NSA designations for watersheds that drain into an estuary with an EPA approved Nitrogen TMDL, and EPA approved and EEA certified 208 Plan. The Town of Mashpee is compliant with the proposed regulatory framework which would become effective on the date of the promulgation of final regulations. The NSA designation would require all properties within specified watersheds with septic systems to upgrade their Title V system with a Best Available Nitrogen (BAN) Reducing Technology Septic System within 5 years from the promulgation of the regulations. As an alternative, the Town would be required to obtain a Watershed Permit for a specific Watershed. In this approach adaptive management practices and solutions would be applied to address conditions within a 20-year permit. Under the Watershed Management Plan compliance with Water Quality Standards required by the TMDL must demonstrate that at a minimum 75% of the necessary pollutant reduction levels would be achieved within 20 years. During this time there are mandatory 5-year evaluation periods of review. The permit components are enforceable. This plan would include alternative and innovative approaches including municipal sewering. After the completion of Phase I it is expected the Town would evaluate the benefit of shellfish in nitrogen remediation.
