The Water Quality Management Committee requests your input by the end of November regarding their “South Coast Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan”
If you have a passionate interest in our coastal water bodies, consider becoming a FHMNA liaison to the various town committees which deal with this issue. Our liaisons check relevant committee agendas for items of interest to our neighborhoods and may choose to, but are not required to, attend their meetings. If interested, please contact us for more information at info@fhmna.org.
Letter from the WQMC:
The Water Quality Management Committee (WQMC) has prepared a draft update to the South Coast Embayments Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan (CWMP), detailing the town’s efforts to improve the water quality in the south coast estuaries including Little Pond, Great Pond, Green Pond, Bournes Pond, Waquoit Bay (and also including West Falmouth Harbor). This update covers the work of the town over the last five years and recommendations for the next five years and beyond. The document has been presented to the Select Board and is currently available for public comment.
The WQMC encourages the public to review the draft and make comments at upcoming WQMC meetings or through the committee’s email address: wqmc@falmouthmass.us
A printed copy of the draft report and its appendices is available at the Falmouth Public Library Main Branch in the Reference Room and at the East Falmouth Library. An electronic version of the report can be accessed here. (Ed: This link will open to a town webpage entitled DRAFT Notice of Project Change Update8-28-19.

You are invited to distribute this to the members of your association. Thank you for your past and future involvement in the town’s effort to restore our impaired estuaries.
