Attachment 5.5 Natural Resources Conservation Service 02630-0709 July 8, 2004 Brian Handy PO Box 709 Barnstable, MA TEL: (508) 771-6476 FAX: (508) 771-6509 Handy Cranberry Trust RE Coonarnessett /Flax Pond Bog Plans Brian, After reviewing the groundwater data from the lateral ditches of the Coonamessett bogs compiled by Denis LeBlanc of the US. Geological Survey on June 30, 2q04, I offer the following options: If the berming of the river option is used, tailwater recovery ponds may be constructed and sized based on the flow data. This volume is considered average groundwater flow for 72 hour period. Section N 1 - 90 feet x 70 feet x 12 feet deep Section N2 -100 feet x 70 feet x 12 feet deep Section S2 - 40 feet x 40 feet x 6 feet deep Section S5 - 100 feet x 70 feet x 12 feet deep Section S3 - 40 feet x 60 feet x 6 feet deep Section S4 - 70 feet x 70 teet x 10 feet deep For Flax pond bogs, a perimeter ditch will be deepened and bermed to encourage herring to pass around the bog rather than through the center. Also, a fish passage structure will be installed between the bogs and the side ditch to be deepened to direct fish passage under John Parker road and through to the river. If the river relocation option is used, the river will be moved to the right side of the bogs to tie into existing spring flow. Water control structures will be used to pass flow and berms constructed to isolate river from bog activities. If these options are chosen, fishery habitat and ecological values will be incorporated with Division of Marine Fisheries and Mass. Fish and Wildlife Department expertise. . This work is eligible under the Farm Bill's Environmental Quality Incentives Program for cost share rates on structures and labor. Further, you have agreed to provide much of the labor for the berm construction.
