Good morning Kim,
Please forward this required pier survey to the Commissioners for JMS Holdings NOI and copy the file. I am not sure if
MEA will have me to review prior to the hearing.
Thank you

Darcy –
Attached, please find the supplemental shellfish sampling information for the JMS Holdings pier
modification project.
As you can see, the plots, sampled on 4/2/23, were established at 10’ intervals along 3 transects; one
along the mid-line of the pier and additional transects 10’ off each side of the pier. The sedimentology is
consistent with the previous work.
The results show good populations of quahogs under and in close proximity to the existing pier. The
findings are consistent with the 8/18//97 Marcotti sampling (Exh. 8) done prior to the installation of a pier
at the site. They are also consistent with the 1/27/22 Megalodon sampling in the boat berthing area to the
east of the floats (Exh. 6).
The pier has existed at this location for approximately 19 years. Based on the Megalodon findings and the
Braman bathymetric survey , it appears that the pier and boat use are having no perceptible impact on
bathymetry, sedimentology, or shellfish populations and habitat at the site.

Hi Arlene,
This is an incomplete survey for JMS Holdings NOI s ll, so the applica on is s ll lacking informa on that should have been
submi ed to both Conserva on and Conserva on projects. I would recommend to you and the Commission that this be
con nued so everyone has me to look at the survey results. We have not received the comments from MEA shellfish as
they are wai ng for the complete survey.
Thank you
Darcy

Amy –
Would you let Liz know that Megalodon did get out to 134 South Bay Road and did standard transects
along the mid-line of the pier and 10’ to each side. They found 38 animals - 27 quahogs, 10 softshells
and 1 razor clam - in 39 plots.
I should have the plot layout and results at each plot for you on Monday.
I wish she had copied me on her email to Darcy. If she had, we might have been able to get this additional
information back to you/her sooner.
