S <br /> drafting an RFP whereby we can get some quotes from various consulting firms. <br /> The Agent stated a USDA's ground penetrating radar was used to go over <br /> sections of the bog that were identified in the Haley Aldrich report as a prime <br /> realignment candidate area along the western & northern portions of the bog. It is <br /> where Haley and Aldrich recommended where the river be realigned in order to <br /> restore flow and restore conditions conducive to brook trout habitat. The results <br /> revealed it is your typical kettle hole scenario so the closer you are to the edge is <br /> where the sand is and the more you get out to the middle of the bog is where the <br /> peat is deepest. Based on the results, there should be some more use of the <br /> ground penetrating radar to make sure the area where Haley and Aldrich have <br /> proposed the river be aligned has a deep enough layer of sand. Mr. Forrest and <br /> Mr..DiVirgilio recommended doing some further studies with the radar which we <br /> will be doing in the next month or so. The Agent said he will come back with a <br /> recommendation of a picture of what he will recommend in terms of what we <br /> should pursue in terms of wetland restoration and then prepare a Request for <br /> Proposal. He said the Air Force has been kept in the loop but they have a <br /> completely different approach than what Haley and Aldrich suggested in their <br /> feasibility study. It will probably be more expensive than what the Air Force views <br /> how the problem should be fixed. <br /> The Agent said there needs to be studies and that is what the RFP is for. He said <br /> he will keep the board updated and give a complete presentation to the board in <br /> the near future. <br /> Motion: Mr. Shaw moved to adjourn, seconded by Mr. Sweet.
