FALMOUTH — Shellfish Advisory Committee discussed wastewater concerns and propagation updates. With Chairman Peter Chase and four members present, the committee scheduled a formal presentation from wastewater superintendent Amy Lowell on the offshore treated outfall and potential impacts on shellfish harvesting and propagation. The Marine Education Society relocated overwintered scallops to Woods Hole for gear testing, with combined account balances of $83,406.29.
The committee clarified term limits: only full three-year terms count toward the town's three-term service limit, and termed-out members may apply for reinstatement after a one-year hiatus.
