SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Committee reviewed the Scope of Services from EPG and made recommendations for changes. Committee members discussed the changes they would like made to the document and sent changes to Paul Gabriel for a revision. A revision should be received from Gabriel within a week.
A discussion ensued on Task 3. It was recommended that a team meeting take place to discuss feasible research projects and other projects of interest. These activities should appear under Task 1 of the Scope of Services. A cost to proceed with these items will be difficult to ascertain prior to the team meeting. Sentinel wells and GIS data collection are priorities for the Committee. It is important to spend money wisely and ensure that DEP agrees with the Committee’s strategies and approaches. A future meeting will be held with DEP.
There is a lot of data from various water sampling efforts throughout the harbor. Some of the samples have been taken by the Town, PCCS, NPS, DMF, and MA Audubon. It is important to see if DEP will accept data from other sources besides those associated with the MEP sampling QUAAP. Curt Felix recommended, centralizing real time data collection, that all groups could use, as a way to reduce labor for sampling efforts and reduce spending.
Alex Hay asked Paul Gabriel to budget out the complete Scope of Services. This would be beneficial to the Committee so that the plan can be customized to meet the Town’s needs in a financially responsible way.
Agent Greenberg-Lemos will email the MEP data to Gabriel from 2006 – 2010.
BUILDING NEEDS COMMITTEE
Alex Hay reviewed the meeting minutes from the Building Needs Committee with regard to public bath houses in the marina area. Lezli Rowell suggested leading by example and installing an I/A system for this area for enhanced treatment.
The Committee will create a priority task to scope out a public bathhouse for the Marina area, Mayo Beach and Bakers Field Recreational areas and include consideration for pulse flows associated with large events. A memo will be sent to the Building Needs Committee and the beach administrator outlining the committee’s next steps. This is possible for the Committee to do because it presents a wastewater needs issue that is to be a part of the CWMP. Alex Hay moved the motion, seconded by Lezli Rowell, unanimous approval. EPG will revise SOW to add in this task
