-13- Dale McDonald Otis Trailer Park Pauline: I had a phone call from a gentleman which did not wish to give me his name. Then I had another call from another gentleman. This was 12:51 p.m, on May 27. 'Dale McDonald had a bulldozer in the water on Otis Trailer Beach. So I went down. I wish Ken Pecci were here tonight because in talking to his wife I asked her if she would have her husband double check on it. She said: double-check, -- Ken had told Mr. McDonald that there was a $1,000 a day fine and that he was in violation if he did anything on the beach. He told him more than once evidentally. Charles: What was he doing? Pauline: He was making the beach larger. He was pulling the sand out of the water. What I did before I left was call the police station and ask for a police officer to go down and witness. So, it was in the paper the date that I called and what have you. And the police officer asked me if I wanted to file a complaint and I said, no, for the sim- ple reason that this young man apologized and said that he was conservation minded and that he was not aware that he had to have permission. Charles: Who was the operator? Pauline: A very elderly man. This was Dr. McDonald's son, Dale. The following day was the day that I met Mary Ellen Pecci and I asked her to check. That was when she told me Ken had been down. Charles: Where was he -- on the beach that they are using or was he to the right-hand side. There are steps going down to the beach. Pauline: He was over beyond the beach house. It is beyond the rivulet which runs in. Charles: He was on Coast Guard Beach then. His property ends. The other side is the sand pounders beach. Where that creek comes out is the bound of his beach property. Pauline: He was trespassing then. I told the gentleman if he wanted to do any work, I would send him a Notice of Intent. I sent a copy•of this to DEQE also. Pauline: Determination of Applicability from Mr. Hennigan was received on Zigman Posatek of 275 Traffrail Way. Board determines that he has to file. Mr. Hennigan had as the abutters: Dominic Nocera and William Irwin, et ux. I went down and checked with the Assessors Office and his abutters are: John Gallagher and P. J. Romniswamnee. Not who he has on here. Determination has been sent out. He has not asked for a Notice of Intent as yet. Jean P. Canning Project on Rte. 28 DEQE sent me a note saying that the above project does not require an environmental im- pact report.
