F <br /> Water Quality Monitoring <br /> It was noted that MEC performed sampling in addition to Mr. York's water monitoring programs with <br /> Mashpee, the Tribe and SMaST. <br /> AE COM <br /> Mr. Baker referenced the report and its suggestion that none of the proposed remediation would be <br /> 100% effective at fixing the problem without addressing their list of items that would improve the odds <br /> of success, including runoff, cranberry bog phosphorus management, fertilizer and stormwater efforts. <br /> A review of those items would be necessary and a determination made about how they will be <br /> addressed. <br /> Estuary Restoration/Shellfish Propagation <br /> Mr. York reported that he was moving forward with the quahog project in Great River/Little <br /> River/Jehu Pond/Hamblin Pond area and that a request for increased funding for propagation monies <br /> would be considered at Town Meeting. Mr. York reported that he planned to grow an extra 2 million <br /> quahog seed in order to reduce nitrogen in the area. Harvest of the quahogs would be expected in a <br /> couple of years. Mr. York noted that the increase would go toward commercial harvesting which <br /> could be tracked. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> Mr. Baker suggested that future discussion should be considered regarding the Cape Cod Water <br /> Protection Collaborative and the National Academy of Sciences review of the applicability of the <br /> SMaST model. Mr. Theis noted that it would be difficult to commit funds without a peer review. Mr. <br /> Petersen added that due diligence was needed and was unclear why DEP would be resistant to a <br /> review, particularly as residents paid for the study. There was also discussion about an outstanding <br /> payment of$8,000 to SMaST. <br /> MEETING ADJOURNMENT <br /> Mr. Barer made a motion to adjourn the meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Theis. The <br /> meeting adjourned at 8:34 p.m. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Jennifer M.
