conservation commission Meeting of September 17 , 1987 Page 4 . John 's Comments continued) Haybales proposed should be moved to the edge of the clearing, not the edge of the wetland. Dredging of Aims Pond could be allowed if specific access points are proposed with mitigating measures for loading and unloading. A restoration plan for the access areas should also be conditioned. Ms Dehrman pointed out that structures- proposed on the plan coming within the resource area would have to be the subject of individ- ual ndivid- ua Notices of Intent. Mr. Grasseti advised there is 439 square feet of fill proposed and to replicate 784 square feet under the direction of a botanist. Another crosshatch which is 1,270 square feet and to replicate 1 ,312 square feet, the only two areas to touch the wetland, He stated if the dredging is out of line and they can be shown why, they would back off. They feel it will be a benefit. Mrs. Jacobson questioned the size of the pond and was advised it is approximately 6.2 acres, The other pond is mostly in Barn- stable. Mr. Rosenberg stated the Commission will have to wait until location and approval of these roads by the Planning Board. Ms Dehrman advised she has a letter in hand received from ars abutter, Robert Frazier, addressing issues on the development, She stated in her judgement it mostly deals with Planning Board issues and read the paragraph to do with Commission issues . The letter was circulated. The discussion was opened to the public.

Gordon Greene, Rte. 130: The torn should hire someone to do the tests, His concern is the composition of the dredging spoils taken out. i Dr. Teal stated they took samples but the analysis was done by an EPA certified lab in Lakeville. This can be part of the record. Mr. Gsseti stated he understood that suggestions could be made that samples were taken from another pond. Mr. Greene questioned the nearness of the sewage treatment plant to a bog which is wetland marsh now. Dr. Teal stated DE regulations have to be met. There are state and local regulations also.
