i Conservation Commission Executive Session April 3, 1986 Page 3. Stan Humphries speaking - continued: Thea I ret with Peggy Pantos i out on the site to try to get essentially her story in teras of what has been done on project 316. I tried to get an idea of, number one; had they complied with that order and to what degree has the project, been completed. ' She discussed with me a lot of the things she intended to be done that construction people did without her knowing. My suggestion to her was to put in writing a request for a certificate of compliance on that part of the project that has been com- pleted and let's just get the 31project over with and done and worry about our order of conditions on 395. She seat a letter to the letter to the conservation commission on Eebeary 6. tA,h 1*c h 1 _thought was very inadequate as it did not describe exactly what they had done on this project, so, she followed it up with .a letter of March identifying better~ and, I think, more satisfactorily, as to what was done exactly on 316 and is a current order of business for the commission to address in terms of whether or not to issue a certificate of compliance for that project. March duPont: We did receive it, we've been holding it waiting for,you. Stan Humphries : So , I guess the bottom line i s , as far -as I see i t, if the commission sees it fit to agree that the case pending for the clan shell Road is not a proper one to pursue any further in court I believe the cert- ificate ert- ifica e of compliance can be issued on the work that was partially done under 316 and that with additional comments from the commission to Barry Fogel of D.E. .E. a final order~ of conditions can be drawn .up by the state and there actually will be and, in fact, a l rger responsibility will be placed at the state level for compliance. This is going to be their final order. Now,, there certainly i s every reason to believe that the commission still has the authority where you are in town , Brett Burdick and Dt E. .E. are up in Lakeville and not going to see what is happening on a daily basis. I think the commission certainly has , still has , the authority to issue en- forcement orders if they so desire. If they don' t and would like to work with D.E.O. . on a more consistent basis that is all right too. I guess that is where I stand on the matter right now. I would personally like t see the case dropped and move on with one order of condition that would apply to this regional beach nourishment program. Maybe additional fads that you don't know about or may seem obvious , their access route number two, Popponesset Inn , has been dropped. of course there is development there so there is. no way for access so that all sand can be brought in access one and there will be only point of access east of Rock Landing. The other facts we would like to present is that I spent about an hour* and one-half walking down the extent of the pro- ject and back up to the sandy beach and then back again. I took a long listing of the hype of debris that I observed on the beach which I think .you are all familiar with so I won't go through it. I think it is very important to have in the conditions that they clean the beach before they renourish it. In the long term I think we can all see that they are just placing sand on the beach to try o address a long term erosion problem.
