They introduced brook trout from the Mashpee River and placed them in the Santuit <br /> River. Justin had asked if the commission granted them to continue their work on other harts of the <br /> river, The Agent said ,Justin could come in to a future meeting but he indicated to Justin that he felt the <br /> Commissioners wouldn't have a problem with that given the success the coalition has done so far. The <br /> Commissioners agreed to have the Coalition continue their work. The Agent noted DPW is working on <br /> a grant to widen the culvert atSampson's Hill Road which makes fish passage,difficult and restricts <br /> sediment movement. If the town qualifies for the grant from Mass Division of Ecological Restoration <br /> and the work takes place it would dramatically improve culverts and fish passage. <br />
