HALLS CREEK PRESERVATION FUND CONTINUES TO INVEST TIME AND MONEY IN THE PERMITTING PROCESS TO GAIN APPROVAL FOR THE ULTIMATE DREDGING OF THE HALLS CREEK CHANNEL. THE PROCESS REQUIRES APPROVAL FROM A LARGE NUMBER OF FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES (TOWN OF BARNSTABLE CONSERVATION DEPT, COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT TO NAME JUST A COUPLE). FEEDBACK TO OUR PROPOSAL HAS BEEN MET WITH ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS AND THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL STUDY. QUESTIONS LIKE: WHAT WILL THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT BE TO THE NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES? HOW DO WE KNOW THAT DREDGING WILL INCREASE THE TIDAL FLOW? WHAT COULD THE IMPACT OF DREDGING BE TO THE MARSH LAND AND HABITANTS OF THE SAME? HCPF HAS RAISED MONEY TO PAY FOR 3RD-PARTY EXPERTS TO ANSWER THESE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS, WITHOUT WHICH THE PROJECT CANNOT PROCEED. THE PERMITTING PROCESS IS LENGTHY, BUT (BASED ON FEEDBACK FROM THESE SAME GOVERNMENT AGENCIES) WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS. HCPF ALSO USED MONEY ON ACCOUNT TO REPAIR WINTER STORM BREACHES IN THE SO-CALLED BARRIER BEACH, WHICH SERVES AS A NATURAL PROTECTOR OF THE COASTLINE (FROM THESE SAME WINTER STORMS).
