Mr. Doyle explains that they would <br /> like'to do some repair work on the stone groins along Popponesset Beach. There are thirteen <br /> dead-end private roads from shore Drive to the beach and at the end of each road are primary <br /> access points. They would like to repair seven out of nine jetties back to original.formation and <br /> shape one is owned by the Commonwealth and is in good condition; the other is private property <br /> and owner.has declined repairs at this time). They will work within the foot prints of the existing <br /> groins and the detail shown on plans was modeled from the original (dated 1950's). There is an <br /> average 5' wide cap stone which is a 5-6 ton stone. The armor stones will be at a 11/-1 slope with <br /> 2-3 tons and base stones with a minimum of 2 tons. A minimum toe stone depth of 18"-24" and <br /> each groin has a 1'/-1 face slope at the seaward/nose of the groin. The groins are built level about <br /> o- o' from the beach and then pitch down to mean high water. They are built as interlocking units <br /> to function properly but through the years have loosened and moved so that the jetty starts to <br /> collapse and is no longer functional. Mr. Doyle states that they will be able to use 0% of the <br /> stones that are currently there. He explains that they will be looking for four access points for <br /> construction. One is the Ne'W seabu.ry Beach parking area which there is an access permission <br /> letter in the file; the second is from 'Kirn Path, third is Nick and the fourth one is Bluff. The only <br /> areas of disturbance will be at the access points. <br /> Christine Fairneny, President of Pcpponesset Beach Association, explains that the main access <br /> location is Sandy Beach which has been the staging area for several projects along the beach. <br /> They are hoping to be able to stage most of the materials and work from that access point. Ms. <br /> Fairneny believes they can hit groins 9-6 and possibly'reach 5 from that location.- Bluff Ave which is <br /> presently used for seaweed removal could reach groin 3, 4 and, again, possibly 5. Ms. Fairneny <br /> states that they would Ike to widen the aisle-to approximately 1 ' four equipment access and then <br /> once completed would re-vegetate the area. Ms. Fairneny also points out an existing ramp that <br /> they would like to replace with a sturdier Crider ramp that they would be able to drive over for future <br /> seaweed removal. she also states that if the contractors need the access at Kim Fath then they <br /> would propose the same widening and ramp replacement as Bluff Avenue. Ids. Fairneny also asks <br /> the Commission if they could install a wooden beach at the end of the ramps for the community to <br /> it. <br /> Agent McManus states that there is a letter from the Marine Fisheries with recommendations on <br /> hoer the work should proceed. The Agent reads the letter for the record and also states that if the <br /> project is approved, then the recommendations will be incorporated into the Order of Conditions. <br /> Tent McManus sugests that the hydraulic equipment should be monitored at all times for any fuel <br /> spillages. DEP's comment letter states that no Chapter 91 licensing is required-as long as all the <br /> work is in the same footprint. The Agent states that the project does meet the performance <br /> standards. Mr. Cook asks ghat the time frame is and Ms. Fairneny responds that they were hoping <br /> for this Winter but they have recently met with the Army Core and there may be some time <br /> restrictions that they need to adhere to. Mr. Cook asks what type of equipment and Mr. Doyle says <br /> that they will be using a crane. Mr. Doyle states that they will be checking the toe stones at the end <br /> of the jetties to determine if they need to be reset but he doesn't believe they have moved and will <br /> most likely not need to be. <br /> Christiane Fairneny states the existing ramps are approximately 3-4' wide but they would like to <br /> make it wide enough for the Kubota tractor to drive over. It would eliminate the continuous removal <br /> 2 <br />
