APPENDIX B: SUMMARY OF CCAMP AQUIFER ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS 

 Cape Cod Aquifer Management Project Final Report Page B-5 



5. It is recommended that withdrawal data be based on a standard recommend- 

 ed percentage of the well capacity as determined in accordance with the 

 DEQE Guidelines for Public Supply Wells. Action item - DEQE/DWS to 

 provide Guidelines for percentage . (DEQE) 



6. It is recommended that criteria for initializing water-level conditions 

 be developed and the program for data acquisition be upgraded. Action 

 item - Local, state and federal governments have the responsibility to 

 design, create, and monitor an observation will network and publish 

 water-level data. The Aquifer Assessment Group has accepted responsi- 

 bility for providing detailed guidance for this action. (CCAMP AQUIFER 

 ASSESSMENT GROUP, USGS , EPA, DEQE, DEM's Division of Water Resources, 

 and CCPEDC) 



I II. RECOMMENDATIONS RELATING TO DEQE'S TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES 



1. DEQE should develop a formal process to set and review the Department's 

 technical objectives and to establish priority projects for funding. 

 This process should involve one or more technical representatives from 

 each DEQE division. 



2. DEQE should develop and maintain a technical library. (DEQE) 



IV. RECOMMENDATIONS RELATING TO ZONE OF TRANSITION MONITORING 



1. USGS has installed monitoring wells of various depths around the shore- 

 line to observe the salt water/fresh water interface. With CCPEDC, 

 they monitor these wells twice a year for specific conductance, sodium 

 and chloride. No major trends have been observed except in one well in 

 Truro. This well's salinity levels have been decreasing because of the 

 cessation of pumping from the South Hollow Wellfield. Auction item -- 

 BCHED will monitor the Truro well monthly with equipment provided by 

 USGS. CCPEDC should monitor the other wells once yearly. (CCPEDC).
