to the slip. Both were built without obtaining DEP permits. There was an order of conditions but the owners did not go to the State to get the other permits required for dredging. The conservation commission issued a certificate of compliance. When the property was put on the market, it was discovered that the required permits did not exist. A.M. Wilson and Associates was hired to get after-the-fact permits. There is quite a bit of negotiation for this process. The process was started in 2010 and 2012. The present owner bought the property with that permitting in process. In 2013, the Chapter 91 license was issued and the Corps decided a 401 permit was needed. Ms. Wilson said there has been some damage to the salt marsh and has developed a restoration plan. The proposal calls for some coil wrapping along the existing bank and plugging those with salt marsh species. They are proposing to put coconut fiber rolls. There is a monitoring plan in place in which pictures will be taken as the project progresses. Ms. Wilson asked for the commissioners' blessing on this project. They may have to wait until the spring to get it started. The Army Corps has given their approval. The marsh repair needs a permit to allow them to restore it. The Agent said when he met on site he noticed the scouring so that is also part of this application. In addition is the restoration of the salt marsh which was not part of the original application. This particular project is to deal with separate issues. John Adams, Mashpee resident, asked if it is not going to be rectified until next year is anyone going to take measures for a temporary remedy on the degradation. The Agent stated any further damage once the project gets started will be rectified. The Agent said in the order of conditions it will state the project must be done by qualified contractors.
