The lack of maintenance dredging would create a major boating <br /> hazard, and many of the slip holders would be unable to navigate the channel. As a boatyard <br /> owner, this would represent a huge reduction in staff and loss of revenue in the upcoming boating <br /> season. <br /> Steven Peters, 3 Sewell Drive indicated that it is disconcerting to site the proposed municipal <br /> wastewater treatment facility in an area of approximately 200 homes. The surrounding <br /> neighborhoods are comprised of blue collar workers literally a stone's throw away. Concerns were <br /> expressed regarding the location of the WWTP Site 4 that would degrade the quality of life with <br /> chemicals, odors and the loss of home values. Mr. Peters stated he is in support of the overall plan <br /> and the need to clean the waters, but not in residential neighborhood areas. <br /> Mike Oleksak, President of Save Popponesset Bay expressed apprehension regarding the annual <br /> dredging. A channel filled with sand represents a safety hazard and poses risk for accidents. Mr. <br /> Oleksak encouraged the Town to get the dredging done and offered to assist in procuring <br /> agreements to avoid a potentially dangerous situation. <br /> 3 <br />
