A. Public Hearings:
1. Sesachacha Pond - SE48-317. The chairman read the Notice of Intent.
The opening is to be done to enhance marine fisheries and to
prevent the flooding of three private dwellings.
Mr. Holdgate - was present and sRid that he has participated in
pond openings in the past and feels that there has never been
anything detrimental done to the area as a result of the openings.
Rosemary Evans - expressed her concearn of the tremendous amount
of erosion to the dunes as a result of openings.
Holdgate - the opening has been gradually moved to the North which
has caused the erosion.
Dunwiddie - understood that it was moved to the north because of
the hardpan in the south, sand fills in the area that was opened
and if the opening was done in the same location each time the
force of water into the pond decreases.
Visco- believes that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts does not
have any rights to the ponds of Nantucket. In 1693 the Board of
Selectman were given all rights to the Ponds.

occur in the spring and again in the fall.
