He noted the proposed pier meets DEP and the Town of Mashpee standards. Thru- Flow decking will be used.

He stated the calculation formula can be used to see what to pay for mitigation in a monetary amount for shellfish mitigation purposes. He said the shellfish agent determined the land does not contain shellfish and there is no impact to shellfish and the harbormaster has no issues.
