f.Waterways Improvement Plan and Dredging Permits - Jim Hanks. <br /> Mr. Hanks reported that he and Gerald Daly took Leslie Fields on a <br /> site survey of the Mashpee River and took some core samples so that <br /> she could look at the mud shrinkage first hand. Mr. Hanks also <br /> informed us that he put the core out on a piece of plywood and took <br /> them home and although he pushed the tube down into the mud three <br /> feet while pulling on the plunger to try and make the tube fill, he <br /> was only able to get about an 18 inch core. They were able to look <br /> at it and feel the consistency of it. He then left the cores on the <br /> board and there was tremendous shrinkage later as they dried and <br /> they got "hard as a rock". <br /> Jim Hanks distributed copies of the Woods Hole Group Plan to the <br /> board members that he had received from Leslie Fields, We stall <br /> have not, as of this date, received the progress report that was <br /> supposed to be submitted to us by the 15th of November. Mr. Hanks <br /> asked the commission members if we should still insist on having the <br /> November 15th progress report. All members were in agreement that <br /> we should still receive the November-a report, even at this late <br /> date. <br /> Ms. Fields did have some comments in looking over the alternatives, <br /> it looks like Pirates Cove has some streets going down to the raver <br /> and she thought that they might be able to save some transportation <br /> money trucking the muck out of the area rather than transporting it <br /> all the way around to the boat ramp. Jim agreed to look into this. <br /> She also suggested that if we transport across land we run the risk <br /> of disrupting the shellfish and asked if we would be able to do that <br /> if we reseeded the shellfish afterwards. She is also saying that <br /> disposal will probably be off-site. The question that she is <br /> proposing is is there anyone that we can think of who can use the <br /> material . The town or Willowbend are two possibilities that may be <br /> able to use .fill of this type. While Mr. Hanks was on the survey <br /> with Ms. Fields, he had the opportunity to show her a piece of land <br /> that belongs to Willowbend that is a potential site for disposal of <br /> this material. <br /> Ms. Fields had been talking to Judy Perry and the question of <br /> salinity came up and Ms. Perry told her that disposal of the <br /> material would have to be in a site where the fluid could drain back <br /> into the marine environment. <br /> We received a bill for project services from the Woods Hole Group in <br /> the amount of $218 . 91 for the period of time 10-01-99 thru 10-31-99. <br /> .
