Agent recommended <br /> replacing this item with updates from the Environmental Oversite Committee. <br /> Mr. Colombo reviewed the proposed amendments to change all regulatory amendments to the <br /> 50 and 100 ft buffer zones to 75 ft and 150 ft respectively. Agent stated this will be scheduled <br /> as a public hearing for public comment on January 25th. A hearing for promulgation will be on <br /> February 151h barring any changes to the draft amendments from public comment.
