Waterways By-laws and Regulations - Jia Hanks <br /> Bill Taylor reported that there was a pubic hearing held <br /> by the environmental police in sandw-ich on proposed <br /> regulations for Mashpee Wakeby Pend. It was necessary due <br /> to the fact that there were sandwich residents at our last <br /> meeting objecting that sandwich was not notified as to the <br /> date and time of the meeting .in. Mashpee. It is <br /> interesting to note that when a separate meeting was held <br /> with sandwich residents being notified, only two residents <br /> were .in attendance along with fire or six Mashpee <br /> residents . <br /> Mimi Joseph was in attendance and gage input pertaining to <br /> her eb�e ct ions to the lake regulations not being adhered <br /> to, <br /> . Shellfish constable Deport - Rick York <br /> Rick reports that it has been a very good year for quahogs, <br /> fewer soft-shell clams but definitely more quahogs. The <br /> encouraging reports on scallops in Waquoit Bay have probably <br /> been the result of seeding beth from. Falmouth and Mashpee <br /> combined. Rick distributed a memo to everyone stating that the <br /> scallop season will be .limiting the first two weeps in Waquoit <br /> Bay to non-commercial shell-fishing only. This will be from <br /> October 1't thru October 15 tk . <br /> Rick stated that on our propagation program, we have increased <br /> from 1, 000, 000 to 3, 000, 000 quahogs. These quahog s eed.ings have <br /> come from state money; there has been no cost to the town. With <br /> our town propagation money we have bought 1, 000, 000 scallop <br /> seeds. <br /> Water quality; Rick has been investigating the contamination in <br /> Hamblin. Pond as well as the Mashpee River, shoestring Bay area. <br /> In Hamblin Bond, he has seen evidence of the bacteria coring in <br /> rcm the Woodland areas when it rains . <br /> :later Temperature: the water temperature is only running in the <br /> ':O' s this past summer.
