The Chair spoke about the notice regarding the Nitrogen Control Bylaw that was sent out <br /> to the Cape Cod Landscape Association and that they sent it on to their members within <br /> one hour. We sent the same email to the Town Manager, the Conservation Department <br /> and to the Board of Health and commented Kalliope Egloff wasn't aware the bylaw was <br /> approved. He offered to meet with the Board of Health and the Conservation <br /> Commission to talk about enforcement and if they need assistance. Mr. Collins said the <br /> Health Department is concerned about being able to provide resources for the purpose of <br /> enforcement. He said when there is an obvious problem where somebody witnessed <br /> something that took place and can come up with a date and time and the vendor who was <br /> involved, it is very easy to take care of the enforcement action on the bylaw because it is <br /> in existence. The Chair said he caught the person who was doing the fertilizer <br /> application and stopped and told him he is the Chair of the EOC and asked can he <br /> develop evidence and take it back to the Board of Health and get an enforcement action <br /> against them based on the evidence he provides. The Chair said this is what he wants to <br /> talk to Board of Health about. He has been sending the Board of Health information to <br /> try to keep them in the loop. He said when the word gets out that there is enforcement <br /> action taking place the word will spread. People will eventually catch on that this is the <br /> right thing to do, <br /> Quashnet River Restoration <br /> Ms Cadoret stated the Conservation Agent couldn't be here this evening—he will send an <br /> email updating everyone next week. <br /> Farley Bog-will be on the agenda next month. <br /> We have a special report from the Conservation Department and will be on the agenda <br /> next month. <br /> Herring Run Program Training <br /> Ms. Cadoret stated the training went very well. Sam Houghton had put an article in the <br /> Mashpee Enterprise which brought out more volunteers. They reached out to the Tribes <br /> and some of their volunteers were at the training. She is working on the doodle pole to <br /> set up the scheduling for Mashpee, Quashnet and Santuit Fish Ladders. She and the <br /> Conservation Agent are getting them in good working order. The Mashpee River was <br /> dredged at the mouth. We did some clearing out at the John's Pond fish ladder. As soon <br /> as the season takes off we are prepared for it. The Chair noted it was a huge help that she <br /> was assisting the Agent with this project. <br /> Land Stewards Program <br /> Ms. Cadoret said she had an AmeriCorps work day on Monday. They did work on the <br /> pollinator gardens and cleared out some debris and reinstalled the pollinator boxes and <br /> signage. The next step is to get mulch from DPW and spread it and Mary Kay from the <br /> friends group has some plants she would like to add. The Chair said he would like to <br />
