The deck currently is incomplete but still no contact from the owner. The next step after the certified mailing of the Enforcement Order(after 10 days) is to implement a daily fine until it is resolved. 5) News & Updates: 0 NRCS Grant Money Update (6/22/10 site visit): A site visit has'been scheduled for June 22 at the santuit Pond Darr. The parameters of the grant money currently will be fish ladder repair and the storm runoff abatement. The fish ladder is tied to a structure that is failing at the santuit Pond Dari and the N CS inspectors are requesting that the parameters of the grant money be expanded t cover some of the damage. They are positive about the Johns Pond outlet fish ladder and will build additional retaining walls to retain the sand that is corning into the pond and filling in the waterway which can clog the fish passage. They will also create a rock gabin gall on the other side of the pond because it is a vert steep embankment. The water runoff abatement is at the end of Iashpee Neck Fad at the Town Landing and the water runoff goes right into Shoestring Bay which is a shellfish habitat. They are discussing a possible diversion Swale. • F egs Sub-Committee Meeting Date: The agent would like to establish a date for the next meeting. • scheduling of site Visit to Eel River r in Plymouth: Over the net couple of weeks, the Agent would like to schedule a visit to the Bal River in Plymouth since that is where the restoration project is occurring that is similar to the Quashnet Fiver project. They are just about half way through and are in the planting phase. • Re-Cap of Quashnet liver site Visit (Haley/Aldrich Deport): The people from the Eel Firer Project N CS were out to visit and Steve Hurley stated it was logical to do the full realignment t the western side of the bog. The wetland that was created from the berm failure will continue t exist as a wetland but the river will be diverted away from that area so the siltation will not keep building up and slowing the flow of the river. If it continues, it will become more like a swamp rather than river. The Airforce will be providing the funding so the Agent believes that it is time to bring Haley/Aldrich back in. i • site Visit to Garner Farley Bogs: Need to schedule a visit to Garner Farley Bogs to finalize the lease agreement with Fred Bottomley. i 0 Game Installation: J hu Pond 1 Red Brook Road: A gate will be installed at Jehu Pond Conservation Area off of Great Oak Road South. There is a sinkhole that has reformed at Abigail's Brook again that he believes was created by large vehicles that are probably dumping landscape debris. Mr. sweet recommends discussing proactively to create an area for a turn around. M. .U. with Trustees of Reservation M shape Fiver Woodlands): The Trustees of Reservation for the Mashpee Firer Woodlands have a created a sign with our Town seal and Trustees of Reservation n along with the Mashpee Fiver Woodlands. They are also starting on some i trail work, removing portions of the split rail fence and cleaning up the parking lot. Boulders will be placed lining the parking area. An Eagle Scout has created a trail neap of the entire l lashpee Fiver Woodlands and GIS/Tom Mayo will be asked to reproduce the reap which will be available in the new kiosk at the north parking lot. It is being discussed to install a railing at the trail that leads down to the Trustees parcel because of the safety concern.
