Mr. Salver informed us that the Popponesset Bay area has been <br /> relatively calm as of late. We still have the research vessel at <br /> the New Seabury Marina. There are still two boats at Ockway Bay, <br /> one sailboat and one powerboat. The .tide gauges are still in. <br /> Everything looks serene and quiet. <br /> Mashpee Watershed Committee Update - Jim Hanks and Herb Silver. <br /> A productive meeting was held in which it was decided that some <br /> specific goals would be set as part of the agenda. <br /> Mr. Hanks also added that a discussion was held with Elias McQuaid <br /> from the Board of Health. The agreement met was that this committee <br /> would write a letter to the Board of Health requesting them to have <br /> a meeting with us regarding labeling the embayment nitrogen <br /> sensitive areas . <br /> New Seabury Beach Replenishment Project Discussion - Herb Silver. <br /> Mr. Silver reported that they usually go to Florida for the winter <br /> and he expected to hear from them in the spring, which he did not <br /> this past year, so there is a question as to whether this project <br /> still exists. It will remain on the agenda until it can be <br /> determined that it is still a viable project. Mr. Hanks suggested <br /> that we should give Bob Hamilton a call to inquire as to the status <br /> of this project. <br /> c. Waquoit Bay Area - Jim Hanks. <br /> Mr. Hanks informed the commission that Waquoit Bay has been <br /> relatively quiet with as few as a couple of boats left in the water <br /> at this time. The only exception has been some local speeders in <br /> the area. Boaters need to realize that even with few boats in the <br /> area and in the absence of harbormasters patrolling the bay, no wake <br /> zones still need to be adhered to not only for safety reasons but <br /> also in the interest of avoiding beach erosion. <br /> d. County Dredge Advisory Committee - William Taylor. <br /> Mr. Taylor informed us that there was a meeting planned for Friday, <br /> December 17th. During this meeting they will be finalizing the year <br /> 2000 work schedule. They will also be going over the dredging <br /> equipment status. Mr. Hanks informed us that he had opportunity to <br /> speak with Wayne Jaedtke who was planning to meet with the Assembly <br /> of Delegates to talk about the dredging equipment. <br /> e. Waterways By-laws and Regulations- Hanks. <br /> Mr. Hanks is also planning to contact Dick Murray' s office because <br /> they had promised to get back to us by mid November and as of this <br /> date we have not heard from them. <br />
