Speaking on behalf of the Community <br /> Alliance , Mr. McArthur explained that the residents were not objecting to the dredging of the <br /> Intercoastal Waterway, but to the containment site, which does not fit within the community . He <br /> asserted that FIND has not taken into account the impact that the DMMA IR-2 site would have <br /> on the neighboring population or businesses . <br /> Gary Kaczenski, 9735 N Marina Drive , Duck Point, accompanied by Frank Marshall, <br /> Pelican Pointe , declared that the DMMA IR-2 Project does not belong at the subject site because <br /> of the site ' s proximity to several large communities , the Environmental Learning Center, the <br /> Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge , and many businesses . He urged the Board and FIND to <br /> seek another alternative for this project. <br /> June 7 , 2011 4 <br />
