i; <br /> Issue 4: Nitrate Loading-Mr. McElhinney stated nitrate loading is a legitimate <br /> concern which has been addressed in their design. There is currently a 5-part per <br /> million standard the Cape Cod Commission uses for groundwater,but it is under <br /> study especially with regard to Shoestring Bay. The nitrate loading from the golf <br /> course is less than half if they went ahead with building houses and septic <br /> systems, roadways, and grass areas. Golf course usage plans uses 3 lbs per <br /> thousand sq. ft. per year of nitrate. Willowbend is developing an Integrated Golf <br /> Course Management Plan(they have developed over 100 golf courses)with what APO <br /> they consider to be a state of the art environmental plan. Detailed summary will <br /> be available at a later date. <br /> Issue 5: wetlands-Mr. McElhinney stated that this golf course requires no <br /> alteration of any resource area with the possible caveat that there will be some <br /> !lit <br /> over story trimming for one hole that crosses a cranberry bog. Willowbend has <br /> had discussions with the Conservation Commission to try to adhere to their <br /> standards. hn, <br /> Chairman John Kuchinski referred to a letter from the Cape Cod Commission <br /> ;gl <br /> that was received from the Conservation Commission requesting jurisdiction of <br /> determination of the Willowbend golf course expansion be postponed until CC <br /> makes a formal decision.
