The order was extended <br /> to September 2024. The property is adjacent to a licensed existing stone seawall, with a salt <br /> marsh band and an isolated vegetated wetland on the east side of the lot. <br /> The existing stone seawall is deteriorating and showing signs of settlement, so the proposed <br /> solution is to build a vertical bulkhead next to the seawall. Mr. Borselli provided details about <br /> the construction and materials to be used for the project, emphasizing the importance of the <br /> chosen method, which avoids excavation and removal of stonework from the site. <br /> The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)recognizes the proposed vertical wall as a <br /> licensed structure and considers it maintenance under the existing Chapter 91 license. <br /> The representative states that there have been discussions with the agent about the means and <br /> methods, and they are willing to speak with a contractor for additional options. They are also <br /> open to suggestions or concerns from the commissioners. <br /> The agent's concerns have been explained, and methods intended to minimize disturbance have <br /> been discussed, including conversations with wetland restoration professionals. <br /> The Division of Marine Fisheries has suggested that the cove is a habitat for softshell clams. The <br /> Shellfish Warden has stated that no shellfish mitigation is necessary. <br /> COMMISSIONERS COMMENTS <br /> • Q: The proposed fill between the rocks and proposed bulkhead, what will be the plantings <br /> there? <br /> o A: There will be salt marsh planting. <br /> • Q: Would the "squishy" sections be considered a salt marsh if not mowed? <br /> o A: Mr. Borselli ensures a site walkthrough with a professional will be completed, <br /> and alternative options will be discussed. <br /> • The Commissioner states the concerns for access to the upland are extremely valid within <br /> the saltmarsh resource area. There is a suggestion to use the opportunity to restore the <br /> 10 <br />
