GSE Solar Project Honored for Energy Conservation

In partnership with Green Seal Environmental, the North Sagamore Water District installed a ground-mounted solar system at the James A. Morgan water treatment plant (WTP) in Bourne. Over the next 20 years, the North Sagamore Water District's solar project will generate approximately $500,000 in revenues by leasing the land with a net-metering agreement. This project is anticipated to reduce the District's total annual electricity bill by approximately 30% and provide 60% renewable power to their operations. The district plans to reinvest these energy savings into upgrading their water infrastructure.

UCT unveils an impressive solar canopy in the school's central parking lot

A cutting edge solar canopy including 1,950 solar panels now covers the central part of the UCT parking lot at the east side of Upper Cape Tech in Bourne, Massachusetts. A massive structure, it measures about 20 yards wide and stretches a football field’s length -- just beyond Doran Field, home of the Bourne Braves. The canopy represents an ambitious project. The 663-kilowatt facility is up and ready to be hooked into the area grid, and commands notice.

GSE Project Helps Restore Shellfishing Area in Fisherman’s Cove

Fisherman’s Cove, located within Butler Cove in Bourne, Massachusetts, had been closed to the harvesting of shellfish for decades due to polluted stormwater runoff. Project partners began work in 2013 to construct best management practices (BMPs), including infiltration biofilters and other low impact development techniques, to remediate stormwater inputs to the cove. As a result of this project, no water flow was observed from the outfall pipe, even after heavy rains and based on these findings, the closed area was reclassified to “approved” and opened to shellfishing on December 3, 2014.
