Comm. O'Neill reminded Mr. Ford that the plan showing three culverts has not been submitted; Mr. Ford will see that the commission gets the plan. Comm. Powers indicated that the stone walls on sluiceway and river itself should be reinstalled as they are now. When water line went in, pictures were taken and stones were numbered so reinstallation was done accurately. . Construction sequence and detail=_- were explained; there are possible de- watering considerations. Inside the culvert itself, there will be wood sheeting on both sides (cutting across the river bed). Comm. Poholek asked about contingency plans for handling extraordinary amounts of water. Dave Archard looked at existing and proposed flows, did some calculations, believes full flow can be handled by diverting it through Mr. Gonsalves' property. He also feels that the project is sufficiently bonded to cover, eventualities. Beta Engineering is doing the checking. Order=_- are technically issued to the town of Mansfield, which means town is responsible for carrying out those orders. Comm. O'Neill asked that a special condition be included specifying that work not be done until the commission sees a written agreement with Mr. Gonsalves regarding use of his property during an emergency situation, since he has the water rights. Comm. Smith has no problem with the proposed project. Comm. Poholek asked whether storm calculations would be appropriate; Mr. Archard explained the enormity of doing any additional calculations beyond what has been done. 2 MANSFIELD CONSERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES MONDAY, JUNE 87 1992 -- PAGE 2 MOTION: To close the hearing.
