Monitoring well spurs turf battle in cleanup
Activist Hugus quits advisory role at base; Feigenbaum threatens to 
follow suit.
By KEVIN DENNEHY
STAFF WRITER
OTIS AIR BASE - In the big picture of the billion-dollar Massachusetts 
Military Reservation environmental cleanup, it might not seem like a big 
deal. 

But the reluctance of Air Force officials to install a $50,000-$70,000 
monitoring well to measure toxins emanating from Otis Air National Guard 
Base has sparked fierce debate over who is calling the shots in the 
cleanup and how much input community members should have. 

The debate over this one well - which would be placed above a 
groundwater contamination plume creeping beneath Mashpee - has prompted 
longtime activist Richard Hugus to quit his advisory role in the Otis 
cleanup. 

Joel Feigenbaum, one of the Upper Cape residents involved in the cleanup 
since the early 1980s, also threatened to resign. Feigenbaum walked out 
of the last meeting of the Plume Cleanup Team, a group he helped found 
years ago.
