Melvin and Marcella Bradshaw <br /> To construct a wood dock and float at 15 Poppon sse t Island Toad, <br /> Popponesset Bari <br /> Tina Baylog from All Cape 'Survey represented the Bradshaws. Stated that <br /> she had taken new measurements and that the original markers were not <br /> placed so that the dock would 90 straight out into the water . <br /> Louise read a letter of objection from Mr . and Mrs. Sham i sh re negative <br /> environmental impact . Also a letter from neighbors of the Br adsh a s, <br /> Ir . and Mrs. Joseph Pepperella as to the good character of the <br /> Brads aws. <br /> Louise then read Lisa's Co enis re shellfish beds, the adverse effect <br /> on land fisheries boating that would impact them negatively. She <br /> recommends pier and float be den i ed r She suggests that a stairt.-jay be <br /> applied for to allow the Bradsha s easier access to their beach . <br /> Mark Howland, --------- Research Corp . When they first did the on-site , <br /> stales seemed to be parallel . Second time thev went to do work for the <br /> environmental impact statement, stakes were gone . The third time stales <br /> were in but appeared to have been moved. <br /> Mr . Bruce Bradshaw - We have reconfigured the dock so that people can <br /> walk under i t . (Tina started grafi the elevation of the 4loat at mean 1-mv <br /> tide is about 3 feet . ) <br /> Paul Sommerville , Shellfish Warden - There are three different shellfish <br /> populations that would be adversely affected. Ooft-hell clams, a# ag <br /> and scallops will be coming i n, He also does not agree with the depths <br /> in the plans, At 70 foot mark, his deputy was in 10 inches of water; at <br /> 100 feet the deputy was in only 0 inches of water from the high tide <br /> mark . In front and to the north of the Bradshaw propert;/ there is a <br /> depression that is dead - no shellfish could l i a there . n/ <br /> possibility of placing do_ck there's <br /> Mr. Bradshaw stated that there was or i g i nal l y a channel where Paul was <br /> speaking o that was 6 feet deep, and now probably only - feet deep a <br /> couple of hours after high tide . <br /> Paul stated that he was only waste deep in water out at 150 foot mark . <br /> The Br adsh auts have t eir mooring which is in about 4 feet of water . Th e <br /> l oat's in verx shallow water , Will be on the bottom or close to bottom <br /> a lot of the time . This could also effect fin fish . The act i i t, <br /> associated with the dock , boating, is the main parol e . The structure <br /> is mainly a matter of convenience so they don' t have to use their dingy <br /> to get to their boat , This is shallow water - an veth i ng other than a <br /> small outboard skiff i s going to cause significant damage o t h e <br /> prospect of any shellfish resource in the entire approach zone uszed by <br /> the Bradsha rs, from the end of the dock , twentv five feet in either <br /> direction and all the way out to where they can reach deep enough water . <br /> Even at high tide they are going to experience prop wash or scouring, <br />
