He emailed Drew in Conservation, who had heard from Marine Fisheries the <br /> same morning. Drew stated the sand had been building up for some time,but was more noticeable due to <br /> the louver water level. Marine Fisheries seat someone to the site to replace a rotted board in the Mill fond <br /> spillway and Drew cut wedges out of some boards to allow the herring to get through. Several members <br /> mentioned that they had noticed many herring schooling along the shore....rnore than in several years. <br /> Andrew feels that the Mill Fond will need to be dredged out in the near future and mentioned this to Drew <br /> McManus. <br /> Conclusions: Conservation Dept. is aware of the large sand build-uta above the fishway into Mill fond <br /> north of Int. 130. <br />
