i <br /> Conservation corrisson <br /> Meeting of September 17 , 1987 <br /> Page 3 . <br /> o fill two small pieces of wetland, These areas are compensated <br /> for by taking from the uplands two small areas excavation of <br /> them and putting the wetland soil from the filled areas on those <br /> sites and punting plants back as nearly as possible replicating <br /> the wetland lost. within two years the plant growth will be <br /> substantially the s acne. <br /> Both ponds are very shallow, Some time in the past Coombs Pond <br /> may have been connected to Santuit River but this was destroyed <br /> when route 28 went in, These ponds gradually fill in and if <br /> undisturbed may become Maple swamps as is the fate of all fresh - <br /> water <br /> r sh- <br /> water on the cape, naturally. They are proposing to restore the <br /> center of the pond to a deeper water condition for fish to live <br /> in a more healthy condition and encourage wildlife, The dredging <br /> f the pond avoids the edges except for where equipment has to <br /> get in. The watersupply will come from wells on the site. <br /> There will be an on-site sewage treatment system which achieves <br /> 9 denitrification, <br /> Answering' a question of the number of lawns planned , Dr. Teal <br /> stated h �- ill be approximately of the areas in lawns main- <br /> tained in the usual manner., This i s included in his a l cul-e- <br /> ations of effect on the ground water , <br /> . Rosenberg asked if there were wetland areas in the project <br /> aside from the ponds and Dr. Teal stated no the wetlands would <br /> be the three ponds shown. <br /> Mr. - Burns que s-ti oned what would be done with dredged material <br /> and r. Teal stated- it would be stockpiled and used as a soil <br /> amendment in the areas to be supplied with lawn. Sediment has <br /> been checked for EPA pollutants and all are acceptable* <br /> Mr. Grasseti advised the intent with the cranberry bog is to <br /> open it up and stake it back into more of a wetland without <br /> changing the character of the wetland. Mrs. Ferriday asked <br /> ghat the maximum size of tree would be that is to be removed <br /> from the bog and was advised only saplings. Dr. Teal stated <br /> it is hoped to renew the hog Orchid population vo&ich require <br /> full sun. . <br /> i <br /> It was noted this is a planned continued maintenance program. <br /> Mr. Grassetti stated -if this is a concern, other consideration <br /> could be given. <br /> Mr. Rosenberg stated before considering an order of conditions� <br /> some detailed proposal for the access to the pond for dredging <br /> and type and. method of operation would have to be furnished. <br /> John varkonda' s coments were read which stated the proposed <br /> replication of the wetland should be monitored by a professional <br /> biologist with semiannual reports to the Comission as to progress, <br />
