i <br /> Y <br /> on Mr. Whiteman' s dock. Regarding ibo' s dock, Shellfish <br /> Commission recommended positioning in deeper grater or installing <br /> float stops; Mr. York stated the Bibo 's prefer the latter. <br /> Shellfish Constable Report: Mr. ' York reported that the new <br /> family shellfishing area has been designated in Hamblin Pond; <br /> Mr. Ellis had the lot cleared and marked with signs and buoys <br /> designating it as a shellfish area. The water temperature has <br /> dropped to the low 40 degrees , so we have our cool seasonal <br /> eater temperatures again. There is still fecal coliform counts <br /> in the Mashpee River at about the limit for shellfish, Mr. <br /> York noted that in lieu of the $24, 000 available from Windchi es <br /> for water quality studies, he pursued etting quotes for a <br /> sampling program for 14 stations weekly per year plus a sampling <br /> series over tidal cycles and other exploratory samples for <br /> coliform bacteria at $3. 50 per test and materials costing $8, 400. <br /> For sediment analysis of the muck to see what we could do with <br /> regard to dredging, he would like to do 10 sarwples at a cost <br /> of $150 per sample ( $1,500) , making the total cost $10, 000. <br /> Mr. York reported on the propagation program stating that he <br /> is going to leave the quohog seed in the trays over the winter <br /> and plant them in the spring; we can plant then in areas that <br /> are Barone to ice. The year-round JTEC program with teenagers <br /> is working out well. The Water Quality Task Force is conducting <br /> an experiment to see the fate of the fecal coliform bacteria <br /> in the River, if they can grow or persist and for how long; <br /> an experiment is going on in the lab. Mr. Homeyer asked about <br /> a similar study done about 5 years ago in the Mashpee River; <br /> Mr. York has all those studies and the findings of hot spots, <br /> but no one has been able to determine their source. Mir. Homeyer <br /> asked if Mr. York is redoing what has already been dome; Mr. <br /> York stated no , that he will be trying to determine the sources <br /> in the high count areas. Mr. Hanks stated that the problem <br /> with the previous studies is they were very sparse, not enough <br /> frequency of testing, and Mr. York added they did not go up <br /> high enough into the stream. Dr. Gordon reported he learned <br /> from the Dredge Committee meeting he attended that MEPA and <br /> Army Corp want to be involved in the set up of the sampling <br /> program for the dredging application because there have been <br /> problems in the past; Mr. York will contact both agencies, <br /> SATE COMMITTEE REPORTS <br /> Inland Waterways: Mr. Home er had nothing to report. <br /> Popponesset day: Mr, Silver reported ars extreme low tide. <br /> aqu it Bay: Mr. Fordham was absent for this report. <br /> County Dredge, ,Statins: Dr. Gordon reported on the County Dredge <br /> Committee meeting he attended today.
