This webpage contains information on project documents, meetings and ways to participate
in Falmouth's wastewater planning process.
The reports listed below relate to the Comprehensive
Wastewater Management Plan for the South Coast Watersheds:
The Needs Assessment Report: outlines Falmouth's wastewater planning
history; defines the wastewater needs for the South Coast Watersheds; lists institutional
and wastewater challenges; and lays out the next steps. Download a copy of the report [pdf].
The Alternatives Screening Analysis Report: identifies and evaluates
centralized and decentralized treatment technologies and solutions for the South
Coast Watersheds. It describes these technologies and recommends preferred options
that are grouped into alternative plans for detailed evaluation. Download a copy of the report
[pdf].
The first two reports are quite lengthy and were summarized in an Environmental
Notification Form (ENF), which was submitted to state and regional
regulatory agencies for public review in December 2007. The Executive Office of
Energy and Environmental Affairs (EOEEA) released the findings of its review in
January 2008. Download a copy of the report
[pdf].
The Draft Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan and Draft Environmental Impact
Report (DCWMP/DEIR) describes the analysis and findings of the evaluations
of the Alternative Wastewater Management Plans (scenarios). The Town added evaluations
of additional options; to inform the community of these changes, the Town prepared
a Notice of Project Change (NPC) along with the DCWMP/DEIR. This
combined document has been released for Town review. Download a copy of the report
[pdf].
