weeded sites had unusually high nitrogen and low phosperous. Mr. Waxman reviewed <br /> pictures of the apparatus. He built boat towed rake on wheels and pond tiller for weed <br /> removal. Using big rakes on wheels was more effective. He also showed a pond <br /> skimmer to remove the floating debris. <br /> Mr, Waxman reviewed the next steps for Santult Pond: collect water samples and <br /> submit water results to the Conservation Commission for review; and monitor weed <br /> growth on pond throughout the summer. If weed growth continues and spreads over <br /> the north of pond, plan for raking in early fall. Obtain funds to build double rake on <br /> wheels to purchase surface skimmer. Getting approval in advance to do this might <br /> solve the problem. The objective is to control the weeds, Mr. Waxman will come back <br /> and report. <br /> It was suggested to contact UMASS Dartmouth to see if they would be interested in <br /> assisting in the project. The agent stated this could be a grant opportunity through the <br /> county. It would be a worthwhile project and would follow guidelines of the grant. The <br /> Agent noted there are avenues to pursue to find out what is going on with the bogs, <br /> The Agent encouraged continuing the work they have been doing and continue to take <br /> water samples and raking. This would be an extension to the original permit. Before <br /> any further raking is done, the association will come back to the commission. <br /> Chairman Anderson thanked Mr. Waxman and asked him to pass the appreciation on to <br /> all the other individuals involved. <br /> Motion: Mr. Sweet move to adjourn, seconded by Mr. Rogers. Vote unanimous 4- <br /> 0. Meeting was adjourned at 8:41 p.m, <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Judy Daigneault, Board Secretary <br /> 8 <br />
