I <br /> I <br /> top. The WHOI proposal includes funding to develop and adapt technology for <br /> assessment, and r oniton*ng of the reefs and the estuary. It would be used to <br /> determine the best location for the reefs and the results after they area <br /> created. The 10 acres of reef seed with 24 million oyster spat on shell could result <br /> in 1.2 million adult oysters. The oysters could contain 6 metric tons (NIT) of nitrogen <br /> and the reef system could remove another 6 NIT through deposition and burial of <br /> oyster waste,and de-nitrification. The nitrogen reduction target from the MEP and <br /> TM -NTMDL-N reports for the Popponesset Bay system is 11.4 MT/year. The removal of <br /> 12 NIT could result in acceptable total nitrogen (DO and Chlorophyll) measured at <br /> the sentinel station and other station that we sample, and the restoration of water <br /> quality. The oyster population could become self-sustaining if spawns of the <br />' oysters on the reefs successfully repopulate the bay. <br /> Mashi2ee Wakeb ort <br /> Lake Management Committee working on newsletter for spring circulation. <br /> A draft of the newsletter was passed around for review.

The X11 aq oit <br /> Kittle Diver/Great Diver/Entrance Channel dredging was completed on December <br /> 9t'and 10 . 3000 cubic yards was removed.The dredge pipe was left on anchor to <br /> protect the wills Work lid beach area. It has been a terrible year for these projects <br /> due to weather. Derr Bates has reached out to Wayne to find out what his schedule <br /> is for the pre-dredge survey for the Popponesset approach channel. <br /> The process of sand sample gabs is ongoing for the Norm Hayes Group. I <br /> has been a challenge to collect these samples in the waluoit Great River/Little <br /> River area because of the icing issues.The collection of sand grabs for the <br /> Popponesset approach channel and the 1916 channel should not be an issue. The <br /> land sample grabs are ongoing this week.The land grabs are all above water so ice <br /> not an issue. <br />
