Falmouth Select Board: Nitrogen Sensitive Area Grant Request

The Falmouth Select Board meets in Room 105 at the Lawrence School. One item on the agenda matters for the Bay: the board will consider a request from the town's Wastewater Division to apply for a $243,000 grant from the state's Natural Resource Nitrogen Sensitive Area Grant Program. The money would pay for watershed management planning.

Nitrogen from septic systems and other sources is the main driver of water quality problems in Falmouth's coastal ponds and estuaries, so planning funds for nitrogen management bear on the Bay's long-term health. The meeting also covers motions for the October Annual Town Meeting and the date of the April 2027 Town Meeting.
