NOTICE OF INTENTS (NOn PUBLIC HEARINGS

7:10 Town of Canton (DPW) 160 Bolivar St (Dam) DEP #124-960
Dan Donahue, Chief Town Engineer represented the DPW. He briefed on the plan to substantially lower the water level
to reduce the likelihood of any accident when the work begins. They are looking at two alternatives and both alternatives
add substantial stability. Buttress technology will not be used because of cost and also that no Contractors responded.
Task is too small for most firms.

7:30 Board of Selectmen Bolivar St, Ames Shovel Shop DEP #124-961
Dan Donahue, Chief Town Engineer represented the DPW in the absence of B Fallon. The job will go to bid shortly.
Expected cost will be about $80,000. Substantial measures to protect the wetlands will be in place. Because the water
level for the dam will be lowered for that project, the lowering of the water removes most risk during the demolition. All
material as it is taken down will be removed off site each day. No stockpiling on site will be allowed.
