Adjourn The Falmouth Water Quality Management Committee addresses water quality issues affecting the town’s watersheds. It has submitted a plan to DEP and MEPA to reduce nitrogen loadings impacting south coastal estuaries. The committee explores solutions such as utilizing the wastewater plant, promoting eco-toilets, increasing tidal flushing and shellfish populations, and implementing stormwater controls and in situ barrier systems. Formed in 2011 by the Board of Selectmen, the committee was tasked with drafting a Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan under Article 17. Article 17 passed unanimously at the 2011 Falmouth Town Meeting and was approved by a 2:1 margin in a town-wide vote. The funding supports planning and demonstration projects to remove nitrogen from estuaries in cost-effective and environmentally sound ways.
