<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>As towns embark on developing comprehensive wastewater management plans
(CWMPs) to help meet nitrogen TMDL limits and restore coastal water quality, it
is recognized that there is no one solution that will fit every communities
needs. Instead, there are a number of technologies and treatment options spanning
decentralized and centralized management approaches that communities could potentially
employ as part of their overall wastewater management strategy. To help address
questions concerning how these various solutions compare and complement each
other, the Waquoit Bay Reserve will launch a monthly workshop series for
decision-makers in June. The intent is to examine the technical,
environmental, social and financial issues associated with each of these
options and provide a forum for information sharing and discussion.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

weighing many different concerns and ultimately arriving at a preferred plan of
action that suits a community. This series will bring relevant
information to those involved in the planning process and help inform
decision-making. The targeted audience includes municipal officials,
wastewater committees, planning boards, health boards, conservation
commissions, public works staff and consultants. </span></font></p>

used. In addition, the session will feature a presentation on the Nitrex
groundwater treatment system and examine its effectiveness for reducing
nitrogen loading in coastal areas. Research on this system has been
ongoing at the Waquoit Bay Reserve.</p>
