boom is put out there, it's not going to stop the hydraulic machine from reaching into the pockets <br /> o scratch back all the debris in the concrete that has been there for 30 years—,a major concern. <br /> He still thinks this is a velocity zone, and that this is a fortified structure that cannot be <br /> constructed in a velocity zone, in spite of all the expert opinions. They are dig Lng down into the <br /> tidal zone, their buckets are reaching beyond the mean high water(which is debatable on their <br /> plan on what the mean water is and the are going to scratch out a couple of feet down to <br /> p � <br /> the tidal zone. They're going to do that with a hydraulic bucket, so it is absolutely an <br /> environmental issue. He,absolutely does not support the opinion coming out of the Barnstable <br /> Extensionp r g rang. The Division of Marine Fisheries is going to be contacted by him. e <br /> talked to the Harbormaster-who is of the understanding that this is above the high tide zone, <br /> which it is not. If you are to clean up the project to the extent needed, you'll have to reach <br /> hydraulic bucket, unless they get hired help to do it by hand, to remove these embedded pieces of <br /> concrete. He's done this work for 30 years, he knows what it is. <br /> Steve said he's been assured by the consultants he's met with that the containment booms are <br /> Somg to control any sediment from the hydraulic fluid that runs off the machine. We also have a <br /> boilerplate in our order of Conditions that requires absorbent pads to be on site in case there is <br /> any type of gas leak or fluid leak out of the machine. The Town is going to live up to the order <br /> of Conditions. <br /> Mr. Burds said his point is that they are extending beyond the high tide line, which has been <br /> misrepresented on their plan. He said, "If I carne to you and told you.I was going to construct a <br /> small foundation in the tidal zone, you would question nye. Why aren"t you questioning nae' <br /> That's what it entas. This is a small foundation being dug into the shoreline." <br /> Steve said he has not heard from the Division of Marine Fisheries. They have a certain timeline <br /> to give input. He gets there for other projects. They have not given input on this project, that <br /> window is closed, so he's not expecting comments from them. They would have sent him a letter <br /> saying this project is looted within certain shellfish beds, life the one he got this morning, but <br /> he has not'received a letter on this, so as far as he's concerned, the Division of Marine Fisheries <br /> has no comment. He said Bill Walton, who is a very web respected agrieultur ,specialist on the <br /> Cape, has assured him that a contam' ment boom Will make that area more permeable and provide <br /> a better situation than what's there no . <br /> Len asked if Mark is particularly concerned about a hydraulic leak from the bucket. The <br /> absorbent pad there is fine, As an extra precaution, you could take an absorbent boom and put <br /> that inside the containment boon. But you can't clean up.sorne oil that's on the bucket other than <br /> putting out a boom or pad. W. Burtis said this is a dredging project. Where's got to be a <br /> Waterways certificate issued. You're reaching a bucket i , digging below the gide zone. Steve <br /> said he talked VAth Chapter 91 and they said it's fine. Ms. Laurent said she talked with them on <br /> the phone and they encouraged a local approval prior to filing the license. She saidwe're-in a <br /> catch 22. They want a local approval prior to filing for a Chapter 91 Hcense. The only work that <br /> they're doing is removing the broken up concrete that is down there. Everything else is above <br /> eats bigh water. <br /> 5 <br />
