-4- <br /> Charlie: What will you be using for fertilizer? <br /> Mr. Domas: It is a 10-10-10 mixture and that is what is called for in the literature <br /> that we use as our references. It will be applied at 400 lbs, per acre which is also <br /> called for in a split April and August fertilization. <br /> Pauline: March 1 to April, 1981 planting. Any other questions? Dorothy? <br /> Dorothy: No, it looks very good. <br /> Pauline: Yes, it looks very good. <br /> Mr. Hennigan: It is very well laid out. <br /> Pauline: Mr. Donahue did a beautiful job. When he was down, we went down there a- <br /> bout three or four times and took pictures with he and Jeff. <br /> Air. Do-ias: He still remains very interested. <br /> Mr, Hennigan: He is no longer with DEQE. <br /> Mr. Dom?s: No, he is with the Water Pollution Control in Boston. DEQE in Lakeville <br /> seems to be very interested in following this particular project. <br /> Mr. Priestly: May I ask a question? <br /> Pauline: Absolutely. <br /> Mr. Priestly: When you plant all of that stuff, how much time does it need to get <br /> established? <br /> Mr. Domas: We are planting it in March or April as soon as the ground is unfrozen. <br /> That gives it the maximum length of time to grow. In some areas up and down the <br /> coast, they do allow Fall planting, but in this particular area where you do get some <br /> over wash from storms, beach vegetation cannot survive that type of environment. We <br /> didn't go for a Fall planting and that was the reason for the split phases in the <br /> contract. <br /> Dorothy: It doesn't take very long. <br /> Mr. Priestly: Once it is established and if we do have a storm, it will save a lot <br /> of the beach. <br /> Mr. Domas: Yes and this is an on-going type of project. I will stress that to the <br /> Commission and also to the Board of Selectmen when I meet with them. There may be a <br /> storm and it does wipe out some sections of sand fencing and it is a low-cost main- <br /> tainence thing to pick up the sand fencing and to re-staple and may be to replant <br /> 100 sq. ft, of the beach vegetation and may be some fertilization a couple of times <br /> a year. This is not a one-shot thing. It is not a sea wall or a groin. It is <br /> kind of an organic (if you will) approach to beach stabilization. <br /> Pauline: In your notice of intent, it said a five-year period. <br /> '•ir. Domas: I think in the release form from Mr. Burden, I think we asked for a five- <br /> year period initially which will have to be extended. <br />
