'd__.—� <br /> B 1RRllA2 BL-ICH RLi-ORT - May 28, 1980 <br /> Barbara Sloane and Ken Pecci <br /> Thr first speaker was Hobert Herbst, ;Issistant Secretary of <br /> the Interior - The Year of The Coast . I spoke personally to <br /> Mr. Herbst at a break and learned that should the Ar:ny, Navy <br /> or Marines want to have any sort of nanuveri on our shores , <br /> they must go through the proper channels, starting with <br /> Conservation Commission . This pleased me no end , I was <br /> correct ! <br /> His main point , well taken, "Our shores can tolerate winds , <br /> storms , etc . but, not wood and concrete! " <br /> Various other speakers nade the following points : <br /> Ive must write CEQ (Council on Environnental Quality) , Mr. <br /> Malcolm Baldwin - Washington, D. C. on getting their act <br /> together to pass the Burton Bill . <br /> Another Bill, H.B 2686 (Con,gress.nan Buapers of Arkansas) <br /> "Truth in Coastal Developnent" demands that Flood Plain <br /> Ins. can be denied , that interstate lana developers suffer <br /> the consequces of not fully reporting .to buyers potential <br /> problems of building on beaches and barrier beaches , etc . <br /> Talked to Betty Woodie (rem.mber her?) re : llashpee . ;She <br /> believes t�*t the state should take over South Cape aad she <br /> has done a great deal of study on this . She also mentioned <br /> that the title searches will be host difficult. Site also <br /> has a super idea about CZ',I ponies . Since they are loosing <br /> for innovative ideas , she gave us a goodie : propose a grant <br /> to set up a snall seainar . for eitik' just us or include <br /> Falnouth - perhaps a day tiling - aad brie in Rich Delemey <br /> (CG'11), a weather person, Les S.ni th (C611 coastal person) , <br /> Arlene 4Iilson (pernitting) and a land nanageneat person. <br /> Neat idea - we need all the help we can get ! <br /> There is an Environnental `Jediation Board set up is sone <br /> cities and towns to prevent legal actions. Good idea re : <br /> Feguson, Sanchez , etc . <br /> It is only within the last five years or so that Barriers <br /> have been discovered to be as i.nportant as they are. Previous- <br /> ly they were ignored . However now the scientists realize <br /> their vast importance . I tiave sent for "Park Service <br /> Inventory Report on Barrier Islands" . There are 47 un- <br /> developed one in the Com.aonwealth - so far! <br /> We should check on orientation of dwellin- for Flood Plain. <br /> I would suggest that when next a Barrier Island Conference is <br /> given that a person or persons go for the entire tine - <br /> :nuch nore inronati.on plus the contacts aade are very important . <br /> Barbara Sloane <br /> Fen Pecc i <br />
