Weltman. Proposed dredge plan. (Representative: Cape & Islands Engineering, Inc.) 43- 3129 The Commission considered a request for a three-year extension of an existing permit for a proposed dredging project at 80 Punkhorn Point Road. Conservation staff explained that the applicant had been unable to secure a contractor capable of performing the work. Staff noted that the project involves a private dredging operation intended to create a navigable channel from the applicant's existing dock to the channel within Popponesset Bay. Due to the shallow nature of the proposed dredging area, specialized equipment is required and the applicant has been unable to locate a contractor with the necessary equipment to complete the project. The Commission was advised that the current permit is scheduled to expire on August 30, 2026, and that the applicant had requested a three-year extension. 10
