ACKNOULEDGMENTS 



The editors of this report and members of the Steering Committee of 

 the Cape Cod Aquifer Management Project (CCAMP) acknowledge with gratitude 

 the support of former Commissioner S. Russell Sylva of the Massachusetts 

 Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) and 

 David A. Fierra, Director of the Water Resources Division of the U. S. 

 Environmental Protection Agency, Region 1, whose initial planning efforts 

 launched this resource-based project. During the two-year tenure of this 

 project, from August 1985 to December 1987, they not only provided the 

 vision but also the leadership for ensuring the necessary human and 

 financial resources within their respective agencies to complete this 

 study. We also acknowledge with great appreciation the support provided 

 by Carol Wood, former director of the EPA Region 1, Office of Groundwater 

 Protection at the start up of CCAMP. 



A project of this magnitude requires the help and assistance of numer- 

 ous contributors. They provided much of the information needed to 

 formulate the findings and recommendations of CCAMP. The editors are 

 greatly indebted to the many dedicated staff at DEQE, EPA Region 1, U. S. 

 Geological Survey, and Cape Cod Planning and Economic Development 

 Commission who contributed as project participants, as listed on Appendix 

 A, throughout CCAMP. We also appreciate the support of the many other 

 agency staff, too numerous to mention, who served temporarily on one or 

 more CCAMP committees during CCAMP 's tenure. We acknowledge the important 

 contributions of the staff of the Barnstable County Health and Environ- 

 mental Department and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental 

 Management who participated as CCAMP committee members. 



We are particularly grateful for the the support received from the 

 boards of selectman of the Towns of Barnstable and Eastham, and important 

 efforts of the many town employees and interested citizens who volunteered 

 their time for data gathering and committee assignments, all so crucial in 

 seeing CCAMP through this study period. Within the Town of Barnstable, we 

 acknowledge with gratitude the special support provided by Thomas Mullen 

 of the Barnstable Fire District, John Kelly of the Board of Health, 

 Russell DeConti of the Office of Planning and Development, Donald Rugg of 

 the Centerville-Osterville Fire District, the Department of Public Works 

 staff, the Waste Water Treatment Plant staff, and the fire chiefs in the 

 villages of Barnstable, Hyannis , Centerville-Osterville for providing 

 assistance and access to their records. In the Town of Eastham, we are 

 particularly indebted to Selectman David Humphrey, Joseph Moran and 

 Herbert Whitlock without whose efforts it would not have been possible to 

 study aquifer protection for this community. We also greatfully 

 acknowledge the assistance provided by the Yarmouth selectman and Board of 

 Health. 



Finally, special thanks are in order for the support received from the 

 Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering, the U. S. 

 Environmental Protection Agency, the Cape Cod Planning and Economic and 

 Development Commission and the U. S. Geological Survey. Without the 

 resources provided by these agencies, either financial or personnel, it 

 would not have been possible to have initiated and completed this 

 project.
