Resource Area: Barrier Beach, LSCSF, Coastal Dune, Coastal Beach, Rare Species Habitat Matt Creighton, BSC Group, represented the applicant. He explained they were seeking an alternate site for the dredging along Nantucket Sound for beach nourishing rather than Callie's Beach. The proposed site is bordered by Nantucket Sound, Sage Lot Pond , Great Oak Road and Waquoit Bay. He referred to the letter from Natural Heritage with their comments that the project take place with no work to be done between April 1St and August 3111 and they also mentioned no dogs on the beach. 3,000 cubic yards of sand will be dredged and will be placed between the mean high water mark and the high tide mark at the end of Dead Neck. Mr. Creighton described the dredging process along with the beach nourishment. The Agent noted he was concerned with how it would affect the rare species habitat. He said beach nourishment is an allowable activity as long as it doesn't affect the rare species habitat. The time restriction can be incorporated into the order of conditions, as well as no planting of grasses and no fences.

The Agent asked about the lawn and the construction access. Mr. Costa said there will be excavators, concrete form trucks in a very tight site but there is room to work. Mr. Costa said they intend to abide by the lawn standards for the disturbed lawn and the Agent said his recommendation would be to extend the same type of lawn all the way to the wall but it is not required. Mr. Costa said he would speak to the owners. The Agent noted the dock doesn't have any signage, DEP number or address which should have been done a while ago and this will be a condition put on the order of conditions.
