Agent McManus said DEP cited their regulations to coastal beaches and coastal banks and read therm again. He said ultimately it is the Commissioners' decision. It can be appealed and IEP can overturn the decision. DEP is allowing the Commissioners to make the decision based on what the applicants presented. Peter Browning commented he is a resident and has a vested interest in the beach being pro eeted. He questioned the objections of Tidewatch. Chairman Fitzsimmons canvassed the Commissioners. Mark Gurnee said they should proceed with the project and be more flexible in the Order of Conditions in two areas. One, they should require more beach profiles and secondly, concerning the beach nourishment: rather than a fixed number, suggest a number in the initial Order of Conditions and make it specifically clear that the project is subject to review.annually in perpetuity as the Commission monitors the project.
