This is what this Notice of Intent is about, the watershed, <br /> the plume w .are dealing with and may be corning back to Mashpee and the <br /> 'down of Falmouth to look at geoc emical barriers. Testing is going on in the <br /> labs. That will support a design of a system in the future. There aro two <br /> sources, the pond itself, ghat is in there already and what is corning in. <br /> Another part of the strategy is on-going monitoring. Extensive data collected <br /> last year is in the technical memorandum referred to in the Notice of Intent. <br /> Pointing to a slide and a hatched area, Mr.' Smith referred to this as the <br /> footprint of the plume, where it is discharging to the pond. These ponds draw <br /> water up very dramatically around their edges. That plume is being pulled <br /> vertically up. The deep basin, a solid line near the o' depth contour, i <br /> where they are proposing to do the inactivation, in the sleep zone. The project <br /> has been designed to minimize impacts to fisheries and biota. Part of the <br /> design has to do with this deep area. As to whether they are going to affect <br /> habitat, yes, they are, positively, that is the goal. <br /> They have had a number of advisory group meetings with both towns and the <br /> communities around the pond. The goal is to do this treatment, in the pond, <br /> that one portion of the overall program, this year in September.b.er. Questions <br /> that have come up have been about regulatory authorities and water quality <br /> certification, dredging permits and so forth. They have evaluated these items <br /> and for the most part they are not applicable. They will likely have to fill out <br /> the Herbicide application for license. habitat survey under wetlands Regs, it <br /> is an alteration greater than 5000 s.f. They have reviewed the information <br /> and by design of the project, where they are undertaking this work, they are <br /> not going to be affecti <br />
