WCAI: Barnstable’s Septic System Test Center is Expanding
Published on: October 10, 2024
The Massachusetts Alternative Septic System Test Center—or MASSTC—is a Barnstable County program that has done cutting-edge wastewater management research for the past 25 years. Now, with a $3.3 million infusion of state and federal funds, MASSTC is getting a major makeover.
MASSTC is in a wooded area between the northern end of Crane Wildlife Management area and the southern end of Joint Base Cape Cod. It consists of a series of trailers and prefabricated buildings scattered across a sandy lot.
Director Brian Baumgartel showed CAI reporter Gilda Geist around the campus, where the multi-million-dollar makeover is already in progress.
