constraint, when they bring in the materials for the dock work. If not, they'd need permission from the abutter.

COC RDA — Request for Determination of Applicability NOI — Notice of Intent PRE/POST-HEARING AGENDA: • Update: Upper Quashnet 1/27/2020 kick off meeting recap, minutes review, video Agent recapped the meeting. It went very well, about 15 attendees. Great presentations. This will be a very well designed phase project by Horsely Witten. The first two phases are mostly about data collections. Air Force is continuing to track data on PFAS/PFOS contamination in the area. Primary goals are the fish and restoration of cold water habitat. By phasing we can reflect and move on to the next phase. We want to approach with caution, don't need to reinvent the wheel. Mr. Sweet asked about recreational use, Agent said it might require some out of the box thinking. ATVs are consistent in this area, perhaps designate as an ORV area. • Update: 37 Monomoscoy Road West violations (Homeowner: Peter Costill) Agent said violations were addressed (parked boat/log retaining wall), there will be additional follow up. • Discussion: NRCS assessment of Santuit Pond fish ladder Mr. McKay said there were several suggestions, but really only one viable option. Agent agreed, option 6 seems to make the most sense. Agent will give it another week for the Commission to review, then he will draft a letter of endorsement for the Commission to sign at the next meeting. • Update: Santuit Pond Preserve Committee meeting Agent said it was a good meeting. Just going to be mutually managed by both towns. Discussion was mostly about how to improve the abandoned bogs before it becomes cost prohibitive for restoration. They will apply for grant assessment in the spring to look at different scenarios. • Update: Eversource right-of-way vegetation maintenance notice to Commissioners The notice details all of their protocols. Agent said he told them his standpoint, wants to make sure we're kept in the loop. • ADDITIONAL TOPICS: (This space is reserved for topics that the Chairman did not reasonably anticipate would be discussed). Paul Rowland (present) is interested in joining the Commission. He will attend the next meeting. John Swartzbaugh is also interested in joining the Commission.
