Mr. Vaccaro explains than there is an existing timber bulkhead that is in a state of disrepair and needs to be replaced. It is right up against the shore of waquoit Bay and extends from a riprap seawall. The wall is approximately 11/2' —2' tali at the highest point and they wouId life to replace it with vinyl sheeting. The new wall will be installed directly behind the old timber so there will not be any further encroaching on the waters of waquoit Bay. The old timber bulkhead will come out first to allow the piles to be driven in. They will rem' ove 10-15' of bulkhead at a time to keep it in manageable sections and it is estimated to be a section per day repair. The work will include tearing out the bulkhead, pulling back the slope enough to allow the new vinyl piling to be put in place and then driven with a vibratory haminner which is a mechanical device mounted on a small excavator. Agent McManus asks about the construction access and if there will be any kind of disturbance to the vegetation close to the bank along the bulkhead. Mr. Vaccaro can see an area that is less dense in trees that he proposes to use as an access. He feels that they can maneuver the mini excavator through there. Another option is that they could bring the equipment in along the edge of the'lot on the north side and possibly they will use both accesses as the timber comes out. The Agent also wants to know if the bulkhead continues down into the abutting property and Mr. Vaccaro confirms it does but that portion is not in their control and the new bulkhead will continue up to that point. Mr. Sweet points out that the.new vinyl looks to be higher than the existing timber which Mr. Vaccaro confirms stating that it is approximately 1'/' higher and believes that the engineer didn't think the current height was high enough.
