Present were: Peter Young, Chairman Jack McGreevy, Member John Stein, Member William McDermott, Member Doug Hardy, Member Lauren Standish, Secretary Absent was: Derek Bossen, Member CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order at 4 45 PM by Chairman Peter Young GUEST SPEAKERS John Bredemeyer, Trustee Michael Collins, Town Engineer The discussion began with an overview of the new DNA sampling program the Shellfish Advisory Committee recently launched in the Town creeks, specifically in West Creek, East Creek, Mud Creek and Broadwaters. Since the driving force behind the municipal stormwater program is shellfish closures, they are taking an aggressive approach in evaluating Town waters to improve shellfish standards. Shellfish growing areas may be classified as certified, seasonally certified or uncertified based on water quality or for administrative reasons. The administrative certifications are not necessarily based on poor water quality. The Shellfish Advisory Committee, John Bredemeyer and Michael Collins will be working with the Trustees with regard to shellfish standards and suggested the CAC participate in the water sampling in the future as the protocols are not extreme. ANNOUNCEMENTS Chairman Peter Young announced the resignation of Derek Bossen. Derek's valuable contributions and his knowledge of the environment will be missed. Peter and Bill are working on an intern program as we currently have two (2) vacancies. Peter will reach out to Mattituck, Southold and Greenport schools and see if there is any interest from high school students to join the CAC. In the meantime, the council will continue discussions about a specific project. REPORTS Jack McGreevy attended the meeting of the Board of Trustees held on August 21, 2013.
