Vote—unanimous for approval. Public Comment: (none) Shellfish Constable's Report: Shellfishing activity continues in Great and Little Rivers, Hamblin Pond and Mashpee Neck. We have a boat at the Town dock in Little River and one at New Seabury Marina. Americorps members have been working on propagation gear. Water quality is good. The Cape Cod Water Resources Restoration Project (CCWRRP) grant for this year is for construction of the new road runoff catchment system at Mashpee Neck Road, and design of the Santuit Pond dam and fish ladder. The Santuit Pond project construction phase is for 2012. The proposal to the Massachusetts Environmental Trust to fund solar circulators to control the algae bloom in Santuit Pond was rejected. Old Business: Richard Cook Shellfish Aquaculture License(Grant)— Richard J. Cook, Jr. presented copies of a,Mashpee Shellfish Aquaculture License Application, letter to the Board of Selectmen, and map for the proposed one acre site in Popponesset Bay. The application and map were incomplete lacking a statement of the type(s) of shellfish to be grown and there was no chart, topographic map or engineered plan. Brian Wall, Attorney for Leslie Caffyn the property owner next to the proposed site, asked for more time to review the project. He was not able to get any information from Town Hall and did not get a reply to a letter that he wrote to Richard Cook. The Shellfish Commission did not receive the application until this meeting. Stephen Marques made a motion to approve the site, but not the application because it was incomplete. The motion was seconded by Peter Thomas. Vote— unanimous in favor.
