Michael Oleksak, President of Save Poppy Bay comments on the history of the Spit and also thanks the <br /> Town for all the assistance and collaboration throughout the years. <br /> Agent McManus says that not receiving any feedback from Natural Heritage would make his . <br /> recommendation premature for the Commission to issue a decision. Mr. Creighton states that he would <br /> like to move forward and receive a decision of determination tonight pending Natural Heritage comment. <br /> Agent McManus states that the Commission can reader a decision as there is a ten-day appeal period <br /> after the issuance of the Order of Conditions and the agent says that he will contact Mass Fish &Wildlife. . <br /> Vice Chairman Shaw states that a continuance will be for two weeks which will amount to be the same <br /> time as the appeal period. Mr. Sweet agrees with the.t iro-week continuance. Mr. Gurnee says that <br /> currently it looks like the slat would come right off because they were stapled on and he asks if there is a <br /> better way to fix there. Mr. Creighton states that it is a larger staple that is used but due to the storm <br /> surge, the wood broke and people were using them as firewood. They replace the slats as quickly a <br /> they can. Mr. Gurnee suggests using screws and Mr. Creighton says that they will call the company that <br /> installs there to see if they can do that. <br /> Motion made, seconded and unanimously carried to continue to November 15, 2012 at 6:00prn <br /> 6:03 Marian oust-Lievense Kim Path) Construct a ' x ' addition and neer Title 5 septic system <br /> RDA **Cont'dto.iNroi;emher.15@6:031)ni** <br /> Resource Area.- <br /> Material <br /> rea.Material submitted: Site Plan 9113112 J.E .a e s-Gainey <br /> [18 Applicant requested a continuance to November 15, 2012 due to Board of Health requirement . <br /> Motion made, seconded and unanimously carried to continue to November 15, 2012 at : 3pm <br /> 6:06 Tern of a hp e 0 .3- 13" santuit Pond Dani) Reconstruct nstruct santuit Pond dam and fish ladder <br /> — N of <br /> Resource Area: <br /> Material submitted: Banton Pond Dam Rehabilitation 10010112 Weston & Sampson <br /> [21.35] Catherine Laurent from Ma hpee DPW and Chris Palmer from Weston & Sampson are the <br /> representatives for the project. Ms. Laurent explains that they are under orders from the Mass. office of <br /> Dam Safety to rehabilitate the damn because of its poor condition. The funding received for the project <br /> will include the reconstruction of the fish ladder. Ms. Laurent states the bid will go out sometime in <br /> November or December and thea start the construction early spring prior to the herring run. <br /> Mr. Palmer says the goal is to bring the darn into compliance with specific guidelines and also to restore <br /> fish passage. The current deficiency of the darn includes erosion of the upstream and downstream <br /> slopes, depressed widths, overgrown embankments and crust elevations are variable with variable <br /> heights and width. There is a lot of seepage around the existing spillway and subsiding on each side of <br /> the spillway. The improvements include re-grading the crest to consistent elevations and widths, grading <br /> the upstream and downstream slopes for a consistent inclination, riprap on the upstream slope, installing <br /> grass cover and a filter on the downstream slope and replacing the existing spillway with a concrete pool <br /> and weir structure that also functions as a fish ladder. An existing outlet structure is present that was <br /> previously used to provide flow to the bogs downstream of the darn; Mr. Palmer states that structure will <br /> be removed and a new embankment will be constructed through its footprint. Mr. Palmer explains that <br /> they would like to begin construction early next year and that the goal is to restore fish passage by the <br /> th <br /> window of April lst—June 1 '�. Agent McManus asks if the fish laddi~will be operational after June 1 . <br /> Mr. Palmer states that they may have to build the walls and the slab after Mune 15 t" but April 1 'they <br /> would like to install a sea path or place wooden weirs. During construction, the level of water will be <br /> lowered and routed through the existing outlet structure and along through the existing ditches and back <br /> into the Santuit Fiver. Mr. Palmer explains that there is an existing access road that goes all the wavto <br /> the dam site which the contractor will install erosion protection along the roadway so that they can do <br />
