Submitted by the Community Preservation Committee Explanation: The goal of this project is to assist in the remediation of Mashpee-Wakeby Pond to address impaired water quality concerns. This project is proposed to improve stormwater runoff with best management practices (BMP's) by capturing and treating the runoff that currently flows into the pond from the road and parking lot. BMP's as proposed for bio-retention include filtration with the use of native plants, the addition of green space and capturing water with underground filtration chambers. The existing pavement would be removed and the site regraded and repaved to better direct stormwater flow for capture and treatment to remove pollutants while improving the ease of use and safety for the community while retaining the number of trailer parking spaces. With funding previously awarded to the Association to Preserve Cape Cod (APCC) the site has advanced through permitting and final design. In the construction phase it is proposed the CPC contribute $350,000. The Division of Fish & Game, Office of Fishing & Boating Access has committed up to $350,000. To further support the $1.4 million project, the APCC is requesting grant funds in the Spring 2025 funding round from the Coastal Zone Management in the amount of $800,000.
