NEW BUSINESS Review of Letter from MassCoastal on Use of Rail Line The Chair referenced the letter from MassCoastal emailed to Board members requesting a joint use agreement among Bourne, MassCoastal and the Board of Managers for use of the rail line for possible C&D. Mr. Barrett stated that Bourne had looked at the request closely and noted some.items to be amiss. Mr. Barrett noted that DEP's intent was that only residuals be shipped out of the site. W. Barrett confirmed that he had spoken with the local regulators who confirmed that nothing else could occur at the site. Mr. Barrett indicated that random inspections would occur at the site, but noted that they were still reviewing the numbers to see if it would work out, as well as to consider other options. The Chair noted that her expectation of the feasibility study was to determine the best use for the site, adding that Mass Development was most interested in maintaining the rail head, but that MassCoastal's proposal was not definitive. Mr. Barrett clarified that Bourne's intent was to participate in the RFP process. The Chair inquired of the Board's preference as to invite MassCoastal to present at a future meeting regarding their interim proposal. The feasibility study would be completed by the end'of September so the Chair indicated her preference not to commit to anything longer than that time frame.

Mr. Tilton expressed his interest in all proposals being vetted through the feasibility study. Chairman Laurent will notify MassCoastal and provide their communication to Weston& Sampson.
