Town of Mashpee Sewer Commission <br /> 07 <br /> 16 Great Neck Road North <br /> Mashpee, MA 02649 <br /> The Chair gave a shout out to APCC and what they've been able to do to protect our aquifer and stop the <br /> multipurpose gun range and the threats it presents to our aquifer. There was general discussion among <br /> the Commission on this topic. <br /> The Chair also gave another shout out to the Cape and Islands Water Protection Fund. They played a large <br /> part in the Dennis Wastewater Management Plan in lowering their costs as they move forward with their <br /> plan. <br /> The Chair discussed the construction happening of Lake Avenue and the small pond near the herring run. <br /> This is another great example of different groups working together. The groups working together on this <br /> project are the Town, APCC, the Wompanoag Tribe, Natural Resources and Conservation, and all the <br /> volunteers. <br /> The Chair asked that everyone keep their eye on the Management Plan for Mashpee Wakeby Pond and <br /> that the Plan will be presented by UMass Dartmouth sometime in November. <br /> Wastewater Superintendent Update <br /> Mr. Meader reported that Cape-wide wastewater superintendents/directors formed a group. They're <br /> working to determine how often they'll meet and set their goals such as what are all the Cape towns <br /> going to do with the sludge, staffing and groundwater discharge. These things are effecting all of the <br /> towns. There was a lot of positive information amongst the participants. There were at least seven <br /> towns that were represented. <br /> Mr. Meader provided an update on Policy Review Committee. He stated that they've made great <br /> progress on rules and regulations primarily for the users, contractors and the Town. Once the billing <br /> method and rates have been determined,there will be a billing policy that will need to be written and <br /> approved. <br /> Mr. Meader reported that at the last meeting a question was asked about having a drone flyover the <br /> treatment facility. He stated that Ashley had done some research and found that it's a restricted area, <br /> but not a no fly area. Because it's a restricted area,you need to register your drone with the FAA and <br /> then it will provide you a code so you can fly over the area. This information has been shared with <br /> Mashpee TV. <br /> Mr. Meader brought up the Falmouth Road Pump Station and the fencing issue that was discussed at <br /> the last meeting. He noted that a quote was received and subsequently approved. A fence on the back <br /> side of the property will be installed. This should obstruct visual and noise as they drive through that <br /> open space. <br /> Mr. Meader discussed the correspondence that came up at the last meeting and that he addressed and <br /> streamlined the process with the Executive Assistant. <br /> Website <br /> The Chair reported there's no update at this time, but will continue to work on making updates and <br /> improvements in order to keep residents updated on the overall project. <br />
