More than 80 people logged into a remote meeting to discuss and debate a proposed wastewater discharge project designed to clean up Buzzards Bay, Buttermilk Bay and other waterways on the Upper Cape. Many of the people who logged on for the meeting expressed reservations about the efficacy of the project, which calls for discharge of wastewater from Warehamâs treatment plant directly into the Cape Cod Canal.
The project was debated at length for more than two hours during the Bourne Board of Sewer Commissioners remote meeting on Tuesday last week, January 26. The project is being championed by the Buzzards Bay Coalition. Representatives of the coalition attended the meeting and said implementation of their plan would remove nearly 100,000 pounds of nitrogen pollution annually from Upper Cape waterways and estuaries.
