Army Corp of Engineers recommends that area be cleared, any holes be filled in to protect the levee. 
Flood area will be re-established. Mike Trotta of Canton DPW will be meeting with Army Corps of Engineers 
to further information regarding work that will be needed to be done. 
 
Conservation Agent Robert Murphy recommends that an independent third party review wetland lines and to 
have money put aside for this review. Mr. Murphy further recommends that the vernal pool be monitored for 
activity. Mr. Varrell explained that back in May the vernal pool was observed, snail shells found and vernal 
pool was dried up. Environmental Impact study report needs to be submitted and sediment report has not been 
submitted which may cause a red flag. 
 
Conservation Agent Robert Murphy recommends Kathy Nadeau of Wetland Works to conduct the third party 
wetland review. Mr. Murphy is asking for more information on use of water storage of roof liters for irrigation, 
impact of aquafir, and how hazardous materials/contaminants will be removed from the site.
