i <br /> conservation Commission <br /> Minutes of October 26, 1982 page <br /> Quashnet Valley Golf Course, cont. - <br /> Mr. <br /> ont. -Mr. Umina mentioned that they have to ask, .. the Board for Permission t <br /> clean one of the ponds on the road.. Pauline asked .if there was mainten- <br /> ance on the order of Conditions? He didn't think that it was put in the <br /> order at that time. Wayne mentioned that it should be included this time <br /> around. Charlie said that he i4u d­not like to see any ponds unless they <br />` <br /> intend to use then► as a hazard.: <br /> Wayne said that he was locked between what Dr. Kerfoot said and what <br /> Nor. L- i. osa, said about man-made areas. He suggested taking a look at the <br /> total drainage. <br /> At this point, Dorothy Studley reviewed Dr. Kerfoot '-s recommendations, <br /> Mr, a-':,Rosa commented that two words used by Dr. I erfoot were -used in cor- <br /> rectly; that being, eutrophication and a rapotransformation. <br /> Discussion was made on the ponds. Dorothy +c mment ed that they should still <br /> put in the ponds which they originally intended to maintain the flood stor- <br /> age. <br /> t r-- <br /> age. Mr. Umina asked if they oared which side of the fare ay they were pint <br /> on? Wayne suggested going with the engineers best judgement and recommen- <br /> dations, Mr. Umina asked if he would like to sow a number of ponds? Wayne <br /> commented that personally, he would. Dorothy said- that it should conform <br /> s close as possible to the original plan. Mfr. _La_'Ros- comine.nted that <br /> ponds are more effective on the giver side as the temperature is more equal- <br /> ized <br /> ual-.zed when interconnected with the river itself. <br /> Arlene Wilson commented that the idea of suggesting compensatory flood stor-� <br /> age is to protect areas downstream in the event of flooding. The way that <br /> is done is not by digging ponds that are already in ground water but by <br /> compensating by digging out areas that are now upland but below the loo year <br /> flood elevation to provide more areas of wetland that are being filled. She <br /> commented that presently, in a situation like this, the Commonwealth would <br /> require l00% compensatory- storage unless there were compensation provided. <br /> - 'hey generally require it .at a useful elevation and within the same system. <br /> Mn, -'_, osa. said that the area is not identified in -the loo year flood <br /> levels. Arlene Wilson said that DEQE doesn' t necessarily care about that <br /> as they want the study done. Nor. La Rosa commented that the area is unique <br /> in that it is cranberry area and the flood levels themselves can be con- <br /> trolled at the gates. He said that if he wanted to provide storage in the <br /> area, he would raise and lower and control as it is not a normal stream <br /> type situation, <br /> Getting back to the ponds, Dorothy referred to pond Mr. Umina commented <br /> that that pond was not on uplands and that . was on the edge the bog <br /> Dorothy said that it was separated from the bog area and that would be wet- <br /> lands. Mr. L&_-% a-. suggested taking and putting that area on the inside <br /> and to push the entire fareway over against the upland. Dorothy said that <br /> it would be dredging the pond in the lour area. <br /> Dorothy made reference to the pond down at the end of # . fir. Umina said <br /> that the pond is already in, but correctd himself and said that they <br /> would like to put that in as it would make ars excellent water- hazard, <br /> Dorothy asked about #5. Mr. a.- Rosa-. commented that there was nothing there <br /> now. Mr. Umina said that they would like to build from the upland out. <br />
