LOCAL WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION PROGRAM (LWRP) REVISIONS
Wallace Irwin Jr. was once again on hand to discuss the proposed
revisions to the LWRP Mr. Irwin came prepared with a written draft of
suggestions which he felt the Commission should consider. He felt that the
document would be best amended using an appendix or annex format. The
Commission discussed the contents of the draft and questioned some of the
proposed additions. Mr. Mason commended Mr. Irwin's efforts and made several
suggestions of his own. Mrs. Wittner then asked the Commission to study the
draft and do some "homework". She noted that one did not have to wait until
next meeting to make comments but, could call Mr. Irwin in the interim to
discuss them. Mr. Irwin concurred and encouraged the Commission to call with
input. Mrs. Wittner reminded everyone to reference back to the memo of
February 16 for the basic concepts. Mr. Irwin stated that he would continue
to work on the project and would report back to the Commission at its next
C
meeting.

REFERRAL - Premium Marsh Project (Town of Mamaroneck)
Mr. Altieri, Town of Mamaroneck Administrator, introduced the subject of
the Premium Marsh Project. He noted that the feasibility study concerning
the Premium Complex was completed in 1987 and that Mrs. Wittner was
responsible for obtaining a grant in the amount of $618,965 for the
implementation project. He also noted that the Town Board issued a negative
declaration for the dredging plan. Mr. Altieri explained that the project
would entail dredging aproximately 12,600 yards of material from the Premium
River and that a machine referred to as a mudcat would sit in the River and
dredge a 2' - 3 foot wide channel. Material would then be pumped to barges
stationed in Long Island Sound. He then went on to review the proposed
deadlines of the project: Nov. 15 - accept bids, Nov. 21 - award a contract,
Dec. 21 - proposed start-up date. A map of the area was displayed and
Richard Cioco asked what the average depth of the River would be after
dredging and Mr. Altieri responded that it would maintain an average depth of
3 feet below mean low water. Mr. Altieri also noted that the side effects of
the dredging project are seen as being minor. He also stated that the bottom
sampling was completed and no additional samplings have been required by the
Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection and the New England
Division of the Army Corps. Concern was expressed over who would be
overseeing the project and Mr. Altieri noted that Malcolm Pirnie along with
Town staff would be monitoring the project's progress. Mrs. Wittner, who had
earlier asked C. Alan Mason to chair this referral, then reminded him to
consult LWRP policies 7, 7a, 14a, 44, 44a when reviewing this project.
