Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Status

Wastewater Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) Update

Please plan to join us on Sunday, March 2nd from 3:45 – 5:15 when Selectman and CAC Chair, David Golden, and Vice-Chair, Hampton Watkins, provide an update on the town’s efforts to, “address concerns about potential impacts to groundwater and nearby surface waters due to nutrient loading, as well as potential impacts to the Plymouth-Carver Sole Source Aquifer, which provides drinking water to Plymouth and six other municipalities.” and also respond to, “MassDEP’s request [for] consideration of additional alternatives for disposal locations in light of nutrient loading concerns for the Eel River Watershed”, and, “identification of additional mitigation measures.”

For background on the CAC, and the town’s desire to reroute 1.75MGD (million gallons per day) of wastewater to Camelot Park located at the headwaters of Eel River, please click here. For more information on the Eel River Watershed Associtation, please click here.
