To see if the Town will vote to exchange 12.83 acres of Town Land not held for conservation purposes for approximately 10 acres of conservation land in the vicinity of the Mashpee River, said Town land shown on Mashpee Assessors' Map as parcels 93-7 (3.26 acres), 93-6 (2.49 acres), and 94-7 (7.08 acres), and said other land shown on Mashpee Assessors' Maps as a portion of parcel 95-5 (48.5 acres) and parcel 95-6 (18.5 acres); and to authorize the Board of Selectmen to petition the General Court for any special legislation necessary for such exchange; or take any other action relating thereto. Submitted by the Waterways Commission Explanation: This exchange is needed to provide a site for de-watering and disposal of dredged material from navigation channels of the Mashpee River, Ockway Bay, Shoestring Bay, and r Popponesset Bay. The only Town land close enough to the salt water that is large enough to accommodate the dredged material (and not in a zone II well recharge area) is now held as conservation land. The Town needs a site that can be used over the long term, when and as it needed, to de-water the material dredged from the navigation channels. The material is not suitable for beach nourishment due to its silt content, and cannot be de-watered anywhere that it might affect a potable groundwater supply, or affect fresh-water wetlands. i., Motion made by George Green.
