NOTICE OF TEMPORARY WATER RELEASE – RED BROOK ROAD DAM

The Towns of Mashpee and Falmouth received a technical assistance grant from the MA Division of Ecological Restoration (DER) to evaluate options to address the failed water control structure at Red Brook Road. As part of this evaluation, DER’s consultant will conduct a site inspection, including survey, sediment probing, resource area identification, and sediment sampling. To assist with this inspection, water being held back by the dam will be released. This release is scheduled for February 16th and may extend through the month of March. Once the inspection has been completed, the sandbags damming the water will be restored. Questions on the release may be directed to Andrew McManus, Mashpee Conservation Agent, at amcmanus@mashpeema.gov or 508-539-1424
