Road runoff
During the rain (August 2015)
we took a drive around the Waquoit Bay watershed to see where we have problems with road run-off directly into the bay’s tributaries. We found several, the first two in Falmouth and two in Mashpee: the Quashnet River where it intersects with Martin Road; the Childs River at the intersection of Barrows Road; Red Brook where it intersects with Red Brook Road at the border of Mashpee and Falmouth; and, Monomoscoy Road intersection with Hamblins Pond.

POOP HAPPENS, RIGHT?
True, poop is not exactly an environmental threat on the order of carbon pollution, nuclear waste or a Superfund site. Still, the risk from poop can be more than just a mess on your shoes. Dog waste is an environmental pollutant. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) labeled it as a pollutant, placing it in the same category as oil, grease, herbicides, insecticides and other toxic chemicals.
