What's New

This webpage contains information on project documents, meetings and ways to participate in Falmouth's wastewater planning process.

The reports listed below have been completed recently and 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].
     
The CWMP
The Comprehensive Wastewater Management Planning (CWMP) Project for the South Coast Watersheds is Falmouth's ongoing project to identify and prioritize sewer service areas for the Little Pond, Great Pond, Green Pond, Bournes Pond, Eel Pond and Waquoit Bay watersheds. We hope you will revisit this site for project updates.
