The Cotuit philanthropist, who gave $5 million to the campaign to build the new inpatient buildingnamed for his parents Stephen and Marian, has offered again to match contributions up to $5 million,thistime for completion of the building'stwo top floors. "He's a genuinely generous man," said Mendes, a respiratory therapist who's in her 30th year of employment at Cape Cod Hospital. Richard and Doris Sellars of Osterville have already matched $1 million of Mugar's challenge. Tuesday's event was held in the hospital's new dining area, which opened for business the next day.Two new floors and a conference center will open by or before January. Wastewater remains a moving target Town makes its case for sewer expansion By Edward F.Maroney emaroney@barnstablepatriot.com In the Peanuts strip, Lucy always snatches the football just before Char- lie Brown can kick it. When it comes to wastewater planning, it's the goalposts that keep being moved. That'snot to say that regulators have an evil glint in their eyes whenever Barnstable steps up to the tee with a treatment plan.It'sjust that the fund of knowledge,about both aggressive man- agement plansand potential dangers to the environment, keeps growing. Tuesday night,the townpresented the third andlast phase of its 20-yearwaste- water facultiesplanning project during a Cape Cod Commissionhearingheld at town hall. Department of Public Works Director Mark Ells was the point man, speaking to a commission subcommit- tee that included county commissioner Bill Doherty and Cape Cod Commission members Elizabeth Taylor of Brewster and Roy Richardson of Barnstable. Ells said the town wants to add 5,460 sewer system customers, 90 percent of themresidential,andincreaseutilization of the Hyannis Water Pollution Control Facility from 2.5 million gallons per day of wastewater to its capacity of 4.2 mil- lion. There are 3,300 residential and a thousand commercialproperties on the system already. More than a decade of planning that began with a needs assessment identi- fied areas of concern rangingfrom failed Title 5 septic systems to protection of drinkingwater suppliesandothernatural resources as well as accommodation of development. Ells said amulti-year effluent (treated wastewater) mitigation program culmi- nated this year with a rare opportunity to study high groundwater levels at the treatment plant onBearse'sWay(remem- ber the endlessheavy rain?) duringpeak summer use and discharge. The news was good, he said. The town wants to move ahead with sewering areas of concern such as Lake Wequaquet, Red Lily Pond, Stewart's Creek, Hall's Creek, and several more. Locations outside the areas of concern will wait until data from the Massachu- setts Estuaries Project, which will set nitrogen-loading limits, has been as- similated, probably within the next five to eight years. But prehminaryversions of those data are availablenow,the Cape Cod Commis- sionstaffreviewofthe town'sapplication made clear. "...adraft ofthe CentervilleRivertech- nical report was delivered to MassDEP (Department of Environmental Protec- tion) in June, while a draft Lewis Bay report might be available prior to the completion of a Final Plan/FEIR (Final Environmental Impact Report)," the staff commented. Moving the goalposts? Overall, the staff is very supportive of the town's wastewaterhandlingplans,includingits proposed Adaptive Management Plan to monitor water levels and mitigate any adverse effects of effluent in the ecosystem. Commission staff recom- mends, however, "a more refined review ofavailabledata (neartheHyannisplant) is justified now rather than later," and offers its assistance. Commission staff wants more detail about future costs also, noting that "the sewer extension will serve 5,468 properties for an average per property cost of $29,078; the per-property cost within each AOC (Area of Concern) is expected to range between $14,000 and $51,000... It remains unclear whether these (costs) willbe 100percent better- ments or whether some portion of the cost will be addressed through general revenues." At press time, Ells and his colleagues were reviewing the staff's comments with an eye toward another commission subcommittee meeting Tuesday at 11 a.m. at the commission office on Route 6A in Barnstable Village.

Comings and goings Four delegates-elect at- tended Wednesday's meet- ing of the county Assembly of Delegates. Introduced by Speaker Tom Bernardo of Chatham were his successor, Ron Bergstrom, as well as Bourne's Richard Anderson, Orleans'Mark Boardman, and Wellfleet's Sheila Lyons. Bourne's delegate, Joe Carrara, chose not to run again due to increasing responsibilities with his town's fire department. Asked before Wednesday's meeting if he'll miss the Assembly, he said he's told departing members John Hodgkinson of Orleans and Roger Putnam of Wellfleet that he'll run again when he turns 70 -and he wants them to attend his cam- paign announcement. - An unkind cut? The Massachusetts Hous- ing and Shelter Alliance was stung by Gov.Mitt Rom- ney's spending cuts, which it said include $410,000 in emergency homelessness assistance programs that will reduce the number of winter overflow shelter beds statewide. The Alliance said Rom- ney's cuts also included $3.2 million from the state rental voucher program and $2 mil- lion from the rental assis- tance for families in transi- tion program. Governor-elect Deval Patrick is being pressed to reverse many of the reduc- tions in this area and many others.
