 Rick Otis documented the environmental incident with photographs <br />showing the severity of the algal contamination <br /> Aerial drone footage captured the extent of the algal bloom damage across <br />the waterway <br />o Water Quality Issues <br /> Nutrient pollution identified as the underlying cause of the algal bloom <br />problem affecting the local water system <br /> Discussion indicates this is an ongoing environmental challenge that <br />requires attention and remediation efforts to continue <br /> <br /> Eprem Epremian (228 Wading Place Road) <br />o Discussion on proposed pathway to existing dock – physical limitations using the <br />existing pathway <br />o Property Access & Proposal Overview <br /> Proposed pathway designed and stamped by Cape Vas engineering <br />company, drawn to scale on submitted plan <br /> Current access requires walking through a 20 ft wide sand path that serves <br />as public right of way, used by fishermen and children to access the spit <br />area <br />o Pathway Construction Details <br /> Proposed construction material: pressure-treated lumber underneath with <br />EP (composite) decking on top to match neighboring pathway design <br /> Pathway would be a raised boardwalk structure rather than at-grade <br />installation <br /> Maximum width restriction of 4 ft per regulation 29 for pathways through <br />naturally ventilated buffer strips <br /> Existing boardwalk at 220 Wading Plance (across street) previously <br />approved through notice of intent process, embedded 3-4 ft down and <br />stable for two years <br />o Environmental Regulatory Considerations <br /> Property intersects with habitat of rare species requiring Natural Heritage <br />notification regardless of permit type <br /> Location is in velocity zone with high risk of storm surges and wave <br />damage, requiring careful consideration of structural integrity <br /> Minimal vegetation removal required – only one tree and some <br />shrubs/cedars, no beach grass in the area <br /> Commission previously issued order of conditions for 220 Wading Place <br />to create boardwalk extension to shred dock access point <br />o Permitting Options Discussion <br /> Notice of Intent required for raised boardwalk structure with ability to add <br />perpetual conditions for coastal dune protection <br /> Request for Determination of Applicability suitable for temporary <br />MOOB... installation – removable plastic matting that can be rolled up <br />during storms <br /> .... described as flexible plastic material installed at grade, more storm- <br />resistant but creates uneven walking surface de to terrain changes <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
