a <br /> { Becky explained that under the monitoring plant they must <br /> install and additional upgradient monitoring well. They <br /> have submitted a request to use well B2 which is on the site <br /> and have submitted specifications to Tom and they fit those <br /> required. <br /> They will take groundwater samples at 5 locations and <br /> surface samples of the Mashpee River to produce their <br /> report. <br /> Tom questioned the relationship between the groundwater <br /> contours being shown and the ones shorn on the GZA work of <br /> 1985 which are not the same. <br /> Becky submitted an overlay of GZA map for Fields Point and <br /> IEP' s groundwater contour map. <br /> Torn stated that he was referring to GZA' s work for windchime <br /> Point . He is concerned because the groundwater contours <br /> change direction. <br /> Becky stated that she will have to look at the data <br /> associated with the map. <br /> John stated that Becky will research the data and meet with <br /> GZA and they will modify the map if necessary. <br /> Tony stated the the Board will need a resolution for -the <br /> contour map and substantiation for the reasoning. <br /> Dave warden, biologist from IEP was present to discuss the <br /> implementation of biological component of the plan. He is <br /> suggesting an alternative to better meet the objectives of <br /> the monitoring program. He explained that as written it <br /> focus on botanical sampling -- plants of Mashpee River . <br /> He suggests using the Macroinvertibrates inhabiting the river <br /> bed. The EPA has established a protocol and the state has <br /> a program on going. He recommends this because the focus <br /> should be switched from plants to macro invertibrates <br /> because they live immobile life cycle and impact to specific <br /> location will be detected and they respond much more r ea�iz3v <br /> to changes in water quality have and they have short life <br /> cycles . Plants respond less readily to changes inwater <br /> quality. <br /> They suggest 3 sampling stations -- upstream, downstream and <br /> one where the plume is predicted to emerge . 1►hLy will be <br /> sampled in early spring and late summer . <br /> Louise stated that she would like a copy of the EPA protocol <br /> and references . <br /> Pat asked if this this is responsive to indivIA- ual spE--cimens <br /> or the health of the community in general? <br /> Rave responded to the health of the community. <br /> Pat asked if there was any downside? <br /> Dave said that there is not . <br /> (` John Sokolovic s ta.ted that it is there irzt e L to : :r,�pl� '.�T h <br /> the monitoring program. <br /> 2 �. <br />
