You're gone for the week. So you get that. >> You get one cookie. That's it. >> All right. We have the uh February 3rd, 2026 meeting of the conservation commission which is being recorded. Please stand and salute the flag to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it
stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Look at all the flannel off the table. >> Yeah. >> All right. So, uh have a brief discussion. It's a public water supply on Main Road.
>> Um Mr. Chairman uh member Weinberg had uh brought up some concerns for the state has recently uh reopened the the superseding order that has been pending for issuance for the Bisco well property
at Main Road. Um Phil mentioned about us forwarding some information to the state to get them up to speed. Um so I got a copy of Campbell's draft um summary. I don't know if I should have George
finalize it with a with a um final document rather than a draft summary, but um the state is just looking for comments to move the ball forward. They have given a timeline to I think February 17th to get some of this information in. Um we know where
Buzzard's Bay stands. they have been pretty outspoken with this and um I don't know Phil you have >> yeah I maybe just by a little way of background but actually bottom line I'm thinking maybe it doesn't make sense for us to do anything now so historic so
what happened was um you know uh Mr. Cory filed an application to install um observation wells in this area that um is uh how would you describe? You know what? You know what it is? Okay. So um
and so that at this time the commission denied the order uh denied the request. It went to D and then it went on to administrative hearing and the conclusion of the administrative law
judge was that they did have a right to um go ahead with the observational wells and uh and so and it was a kind of a very um detailed opinion but uh the Buzzards Bay coalition was making the
case that hy hydro geologically it was going to impact um Angeline Brook and the wetlands because it was going to draw so much water from it and uh and the the the administrative law judge
opinion was well that's down the road. They're all just asking to sink the observation wells and the regulations were pretty clear that you could do that. So forward now is that um when they uh went ahead and did work there, they altered more weapons than they were
supposed to. And so what came out of that was an order uh was an NOI that uh that Mr. Cory had filed um laying out what the
what he planned to do to uh for uh restoration of the impacted wetland, but also requested a um to build a pump shed and some pumping equipment. And we approved that
uh primarily because we were interested in in getting the um the reclamation work done, but also because um the Chris's opinion was that that nothing that they were doing would really affect the wetlands until actually the you know
if the wells got approved and they started pumping and that issue would come back to us again. So before they could operate the wells, they would need to come back to us. So we filed that. Buzzards Bay appealed our um denial of
um >> our approval, right? >> Of our approval rather of our approval of it. Right. Of our approval of it. And that's the case that's in front of of D right now that they finally picked up um which is to resolve this outstanding. So
Corey had uh filed maybe both people had filed requests for superseding order of condition Buzzards Bay and Cory um and so that's where it stands now and in the meantime all this work has been going with DP on approving the results of the
test the test well results that they conducted and what we found out later on through the work of our uh hydrogeeologist in Buzzards Bay is that they really screwed up the test and so we basically forced them to redo the
test. Um and the results of that have recently come back and D has the water side has approved that. So um and now the D wellness program has come to uh to finalize or to make a decision about
what to do with the SOC to our order and the and and so both Buzzards Bay hydrogeeologist and our hydrogeeologist um did an analysis of what the second
round of test results, pumper test results are with and pump the wells maximum for 30 for 10 3 days I can't remember the number of days anyway to see what the maximum load is going to be and and we had required
in addition to the traditional things we had surface water wells and wells near the bro so um and then after that that's all been going on in the water supply side but I still not sure that we that
we need to submit anything now >> okay >> because I think I mean we could ask George I mean I'm curious enough it's more like for me like as you know the who's going to pay for it you know in the timing of it a little bit but so
Buzzard's Bay after the water uh division in DC approved it then Buzzard's Bay wrote a long letter and their hydro geologist wrote another long letter of all the things that were wrong with it and our hydro geologist
um wrote a draft letter to us just you know here's his initial impressions of it you know um and so one thing we could do is ask him to do a more thorough review of it because we still don't know
if if and when there'll be a request for us to actually approve the operation of the wells because no one's come forward and said here's what we want to do on the property. Yes, there really hasn't. Only people that know what is to be done is the public water supply because they were given some application that said
Westport condominiums. That's the only reference I have to to what type of project. >> Right. Right. I guess the footnote the whole thing is that is that if you have a really large water supply system, then you're required to do a a very specific
cold water fisheries impact analysis as to get your a public water supply permit. But this um these wells are so are so much under the uh limit that they didn't have to do that. And so now it's kind of from Blizzard's Bay perspective
all being viewed through um the wetlands race. And uh so I guess I don't think there's necessarily an urgency about it because I think the what DP is focused on from our point of view is
>> were we right in granting the the you know were we right in saying they could build a pump shed. Have they built it? I think >> No, nothing's been built. So nothing. >> Yeah. So >> that's fine. >> And I think all the hydrogeeological stuff is like down the road. >> Correct. All right.
>> And but maybe we'll get an answer. We can force somebody whoever owns the property to do the restoration which we've wanted. >> Correct. >> Right. >> But isn't that part of the superseding order? >> Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. That was that was that was part of it. >> But nothing's happened. >> And Buzzards Bay could appeal that
decision as well subsequently. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They could they could request an administrative appeal. Correct. of that, you know, which they might at which point then um uh but the um
I think the first decision went a long way in saying uh all the things you're talking about we would really have to confront when we approve the operation of the wells. Right now
there's no one has requested >> us to approve the operation of the wells which is in our jurisdiction under the wetlands Rex >> and until that happens then all the hydrog will come back and you know maybe we'll require more testing you know
based on what we hear you know so it's really it's really kind of open-ended but >> all right >> Phil >> thanks guys first hearing west harbor water associ ation notes on attempt seven. >> No, no, you missed one. Septic. >> Oh, I'm sorry. Septic six union a realy
six union a install title 5 system and graded >> correct busy. Okay. Greg Nicholas South Coast Engineering for Chris Simmons. This property at 6 Union Avenue. This is the last remaining building of the Westport Manufacturing Company. As you can see
from Route 6, it's a stone building that was needed to be redone. Um, from what I understand, it was an order of intent uh in order conditions issued for site work around this and that was to address the drainage and the improvements around the area, parking and whatnot. What was left
off of that was a septic system. And the reason for that was because Mr. Simmons had a septic inspection plan that basically said the system was fine. somebody with the tank, just replace the tank and everything would be great. They went to dig up the tank and it turned out that that's all there was. There was
no septic system at all. So, he was kind of stuck behind a rock in a hard place. He had all this work done with no septic system. So, then the challenge came to what's the design flow? Is it a repair? Is it uh new construction? Working with the board of health said, well, let's do
as if it's new construction. I'm going to increase the design flow and see what you can come up with. So what we have here is an existing set a new septic tank the nitriification system pump chamber the credit system over here for this uh issue of conservation we have
the 100t buffer zone the yellow line that's also the limit to the 100 ft river in this area the westport river I don't know whether this is the original river or not I suspect it's probably not it's all stone line it should go along similar to what you see at the head of westport probably to facilitate the
manufacturing way back when. So, we have that. We also have a FEMA FEMA flood zone X which is right over here. No elevation attached to that. So, what I could do is I can keep the septic system out of the flood zone, but I'm within a
100 ft um river and also off the BW. Talking to Chris about this, look to see if there's any other place we could possibly do this. The idea is we want to stay out of this unless it's an absolute there's no other alternatives. Some perk test was done here, not by me, but by
the previous engineering firm, and you had water coming in 24 in. This area here is part of the foundation of the original mill building. You're not going to get a perk there. So, you're pretty limited to where you can do anything. It's right over here. It's a concrete bradwood or asphalt bra concrete pad
back here. And that's what we have. The uh pump chamber, as I mentioned, is way down over here. Reason for that is that we're gravity flow coming down here. And then I got a force man coming up to the U building system. Um I didn't want to
put a sag in the pipe because then you'd have water effluent sitting in there. Weather like this you'd have some problems with frozen frozen pipes. So that's pretty much what I have. We are showing the um hay line or the uh water line coming around here surrounding all
the proposed work to be done and that's about it. What's the approximate gallon sprit there you have a design for? >> 740 something like that. >> I want to say this approved last night at um health director approved. >> Oh yeah, probably
>> this is director not last night. >> It has been director approval though. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> But it's just explain it's a four bedroomedroom house. >> Fourbedroom house plus >> all we have over here is a warehouse and also there's a salon. I thought it say that um the blend going to move into
here. Yeah, there's a salon that that increased the flow a little bit. Right. >> So, if I can find it, it's over here somewhere 740 from there. >> All right. Thank you, Greg. >> Mr. Chairman, members, uh this is 6 Union A realy. 6 Union A is the address.
Um we have a request for the termination of applicability filed by South Coast Engineering with Greg Nicholas here representing. The report date is January 29th, 2026. Again, as we mentioned, this is board of health director approved
contingent on this uh our commission's approval. Excuse me. The owner of the property is filed to install the title 5 septic system within the buffer zone and outer riverfront area for the property at 6 Union A. The old system was determined to be in failure. The new system will
service the four-bedroom home, beauty salon, and commercial office space. The new system will be installed along Union A and it will be 80 ft from the BVW edge and within that section of the riverfront, the septic system will have a 40 mil barrier to be installed around
the leeching area uh to prevent any breakout. The pump chamber and septic tank to be installed to the rear of the four bedroomedroom home and the pump chamber will be further down behind that commercial building. The system design is as far from the resource areas given
the constraints of the existing conditions. Um erosion controls will be installed around all work areas and will remain till the area is seated and stabilized. As Greg has mentioned, the applicant did have an NOI to reestablish
this area where the tank and the pump chamber going. It's been seated. It's now more maintained. So, it's much more feasible for them to install these in that particular location uh than may have been before he bought the property.
Um, this was always a concern of mine from the very beginning and I'm finally happy it's come to be resolved now. So, I recommend the board, excuse me, the West Conservation Commission should approve the proposed sewage disposal system with a negative
box two and a negative box three determination. That is all. >> Thanks, Chris. Any questions? Go ahead. Any questions? The table? >> Sure. >> I just have one question. So, Chris, this property has been ongoing for us for a
while. We did site visits on it and various other things. Uh, probably over a year or so ago. And at that time, we're basically told that, oh, all this work that's being done, it'll be a storage facility. there will be, you know, garage where equipment will be
kept and various other things. So, just for the record, that's how it started and now we're sitting here with a fourbedroom home of beauty supply and commercial office space. So, I'm not entirely sure. >> Well, the four bedroomedroom home was always there. It was just never you absolutely correct uh Jake that I had
brought that to the attention of the very beginning. I said, "You need to cumitively show us what your actually intents are for the property and for disturbances in the riverfront. We wanted to know what everything was being done." So, yes, there was some um and
and to Greg's comments, the engineer kind of did put the owner in a situation and he had this place ready to go and leased out and he finds out that there's a dead end septic system. So, but >> which which I I don't have a problem. I
mean, I know the location of it. I understand it's, you know, it's on Route 6 commercial space. Anyway, just >> it's a little disappointing that we ended up at this from from where we started. >> I understand. >> But that's, you know, we're he's going through the process to put in a, you know, ditentrification system with Title
5 compliant system. But again, from being a storage facility for equipment to now a beauty salon and commercial office space, a little different. >> Understand. >> Thank you. >> He had a limited horizon when he started. We just get sold a bill of goods every
week. Just as consistent, so this is consistent. >> All right. Any other comments? >> No. Have no comments or motion, please. >> I'll make a motion to uh approve with a negative uh box two and negative box three. >> Second.
>> Okay, that was Jason and Phil. All in favor? I >> opposed. Okay, unm. Thank you. >> Thanks. That's great. I need to. >> Now we have the uh Westport Harbor Water Association notice of intent 755 River
Road. Construct public uh community water supply main from new wellfield to existing pump house. >> You bring the pistachio ice cream. >> That's just an approximate locus of the work area. You get the ice cream pistachio?
>> No, I had I had a work call. I couldn't get it. >> Disappointed, Jason. >> I know. >> Is that how long? >> Is that how long? >> Yeah. >> Well, and then it goes into the
neighborhood, too. So, even more comes out. >> I think it's 3600 ft. Well, yeah. >> Before you get started, would you send you a B of notification cards, please? All right. Thank you very much.
>> You can start whenever you're ready. >> Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Walter Herman, professional engineer Herman and Herman Consulting Engineers. Tonight I'm here before you. Thank you for entertaining us. Westport Harbor Water Association is my client.
And I have Caroline Fanny, president of the association here. Also have Mike Pitress. He's a water operator. We also have Bob Casey back here. He's a technical guy for all the equipment that's going in on this new project. Okay. Uh, currently they have a well
field uh up on 755 River Road that's been approved by the D. They've been trying to develop and made some great progress for a new water supply for their association. And
I'll start with existing conditions and stop me anytime if you got any questions. Got a few sheets here. First couple of sheets are all the existing additions. We've had a nice survey done on the entire route which is over 3600 linear feet.
Up here is their existing palm pal 52 per rock road right next to cockis pond. Come down perch rock road. Uh there's a paper road right here where there's no utilities yet. And you have river road and we have a perennial stream right
here to the clock pond. It's a three sheet set. And continuing down River Road, we go past the Spindle Rock Club. and we get to the place that I started with right here is the new well field
right on land of 755 river road. So the total length is 3600 linear feet. We've done the existing conditions by survey. We've also done a GPR of the entire route so we can understand uh the approximate depth of bedrock along the
whole route. What we are proposing is a 4-in water man and a 2-in service. The service will be for two houses along River Road. Uh it'll be installed along their existing
network, their distribution network. When we get down to this area here, this will be new construction because right now it's a paper uh paper street portion of the entire Birch Rock Road. make home is there truck road but that'll be new
construction and they continue in the same trench two feet of separation we cross the herring run and sheet number two we're coming up with a road notice that we have to cross at certain points because the GPS
Geoysicist recommended that we cross in certain areas because other areas we wouldn't be able to get through without great difficulty due to competent bedrock. There is a lot of bedrock to be found along this entire route. Uh much of it is chippable. Uh some of it is just not
passable without probably bringing in heavy equipment and explosives which we don't want to do that. So, we will track along an existing water line of Pawn Meadow, which was also found by the GPI crew, and we're to stay at least 3 ft
away from their water line. Uh, had a nice walk through with representatives from that association, and they gave me the best knowledge of when that went in about 40 years ago. Most of the work is off of the road, off
of the paved road. Uh unfortunately there are some sections where we have no choice where we're crossing for example uh seeking an easement from this person and right here we're off to off the pave road. We're doing our best to stay off the
pave road and away from the other water line. Uh there's very few utilities that are underground except for that water line. Uh there's a few poles with electric service uh that run the backside up to houses, but we're not going to be interfering with that.
And here is your existing wellfield where we come up into the existing three pipes. Uh there'll be a shed built in that area. We're going to have valve boxes. We're going to have blowoffs. But this section right here is just a 4
inch because at this point here is where the 2-in service ends. That's for the second home. That's part of the uh 2-in service at the 2in distribution line. So that's the breakdown of the group. You know, uh in regards to environmental
and conservation, there was several resources that were identified. We had uh we had a wetland scientist go out there in early January and identified wetland resources that are subject to the act that are within the
jurisdiction. For the most part, we are not in wetland resource and other than there's a border and land subject to flooding which takes up just about the entire project except for some high area above 17 ft which is on Protalk Road. So
all border and land subject to flooding. uh resources in the area identified by the wetland scientists was salt marshes, land under salt pond banks or land under ocean ponds, streams, rivers, lakes and we also have a diaramis fish run for
example that's a herring run estimated habitats of rare wildlife for coastal wetlands land subject to coastal storm flow bankwriting area. So performance standards for the wetland resources identified pertain to the
border and land subject to flooding. Uh the entire project uh does not call for any filling of any of the flood plane. Uh we're going to be excavating for trenches, putting in the utilities, putting in the water lines that is and then back filling. So we're
not changing the elevation, we're not consuming any flood plane. We have also uh riverfront area. Riverfront pertains to the Haron and that area is 200 ft
on either side of the Harry run located by these red lines right here. So to overcome the performance standards uh for working in the riverfront, there's developed riverfront and there's also undeveloped riverfront.
Uh we are allowed uh to ask for in your within your jurisdiction to approve up to 5,000 square ft of riverfront area to be disturbed. We're only asking for 1326 feet which is also less than the 10%. It's either 5,000 or 10%. We're asking
for 1326 and it is basically land that is outside of the pave surface and on the shoulder but it's not in any of the protected resources. Uh there are no alternatives
proposed other than what you see. We've gone the best route possible that uh stays within the layout of the roadway and does not infringe upon the wetlands the wetland resources. So we go over the performance standards.
I believe we've met them or exceeded them for the water and land subject to flooding and the riverfront area. So in summary, we have uh conducted our regulatory analysis. We believe I identified all the protected resources.
Uh we have gone through this plan with your agent. Thank you very much, Chris. And he's given me his comments. Uh that's appreciated. We've also received them from uh the division of fisheries and they have pointed out basically what Chris
has said. We have a diagram fist passage which is the herring right here and they're recommending they say that we should uh we should have no inwater silk producing activities between March 15th and June 30th.
Okay. Uh that will be possible. You know, we don't want to take a chance and jeopardize if we got a 4 in uh deluge where it would overcome our siltation controls and then we'd have a siltation events event inside the perennial stream and that would be terrible. But we would
like to wear uh at least 100 ft on either side of this given that the entire length is 3600 ft long. We can do to and from uh but we can either get to this quick enough before that magic date
or we can do it right following when the period opens. But we'd like to work within 100 ft of that stream in order to uh get this project going because they need a water supply. They're working with DP approved. There's still some
treatment and developments going on in the shed there. I I should point out I Uh they're providing some treatment of their water. Uh there's going to be a back wash uh minor back wash of iron and
manganesees. I believe behind their pump house we have a dry well that we will have to discharge the back wash and it occurs about every 3 days. Uh maybe runs for about 20 minutes. any of the
gentlemen, the water operators can verify this better than I can. Um, but there's a dry well proposed right there that is more than adequate to handle that. And we have the citation uh erosion control around that area for the
construction of that portion also. >> Think I've covered everything up to this point. Anybody have any questions? >> No, I'm going to let Chris read his report and then we'll see if we have any questions afterward. Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you, Walter. Uh, Mr. Chairman, members, Westport Harbor Water
Association. Uh, the location is River Road as well as the Perch Rock Road neighborhood. Uh, this is a notice of intent application. The engineer record is Walter Hermano Engineering. Report date is January 29th, 2026. There is a file number for this project.
It's SC802826. Um, again, the applicants here still need to go before the board of selectmen. uh for this approval as the activity is within the town's right of way. Uh site visit was also on January 29th, 2026.
Description of the work. The applicant is filed for 3600 foot waterline placement within the portion of River Road from house number 755 South to 813 River Road. And then it will turn up a
paper road section, as Walter mentioned, into the Perz Rock Road neighborhood. Work also includes installing fencing and gravel parking area around the main public wells location as well as that shed uh over those wells. This the
applicant has utilized ground penetr penetrating radar to document ledge and other existing utilities within the proposed work area. The trench will require crossing from one side to the other to avoid ledge and other obstacles. As he mentioned, the pond
metal uh water line is actually one of those obstacles. The work will require excavating a trench within the roadway and or edge of road and installing the 4-in water pipe and a 2-in water service pipe uh which again terminates in that
neighborhoods as well as the Perch Rock uh neighborhood. The work will require crossing over the existing Herring Run covert pipe. The trench will then enter into a paper street across 8:30 River Road. The water main will extend up to the existing water tank and pump house
along Cocky Pond again within that Perch Rock neighborhood. The work falls within the buffer zone and riverfront zones um bordering land subject to flooding. Um activity requires again approval of the board selectman. The work doesn't apply to any exemption under the wetlands
protection act as it is proposed by a private entity. Again, if this was a municipality doing the work, there are some exemptions um under that uh limited project criteria. Erosion controls on this project shall be installed along
the entire work area to prevent any erosion and siltation. Applicant is responsible to pave all disturbed areas per the select board and the highway department. Um I really didn't go into detail but the crossing of the covert
pipe they are going above the pipe so there is no concern for the covert being jeopardized or um influenced by them doing it in this manner. They feel they have proper uh cover for that pipe. Uh in some areas they are also going to be
enhancing uh from freezing. They're going to be adding a product to uh protect that pipe from freezing at shallow areas. Um they also will be installing a trace wire uh so that they can find this at a later date um as well
as allows them to monitor some things along that uh pipe system as well. So given we recently received some highway department comments um I'm not going to read all those but they pertain to um
how they proceed with the road cuts the amount of asphalt uh and the type of repairs that are required for uh their considerations. Uh Walter has been given a copy of that. So, recommendations for the commission, the West Park Conservation Commission should approve
the proposed water mane and water service and river road uh the gravel lot and the perimeter fencing with the the wellshed with the following conditions. The select board and highway department approvals through a public hearing process. Erosion controls be installed
on both sides of the access roadway during all phases of construction. pre-construction meeting with Concom agent highway department uh and work in the herring ditch must adhere to the time of year restrictions for migratory
fish species that's actually May 15th I believe to May 31st uh groundwater discharge if it is needed must be pumped through a series of hay bale check dams before discharging any changes to the plan which is a standard
condition may require an amended order of conditions um with the commission um and our consultation to determine uh what is needed. And lastly, the highway department comments should also be as a condition. That's all. Mr. Chairman,
>> can you clarify the time of year because I think you said May 15th to May 31st. Is it March 15? >> March 15th, I mean. Yes. March 15th is the beginning. >> If I may, to June 30th >> to June 30th. Okay. >> All right. >> Thank you. All right, Jim, have any questions?
>> I just have a general question. So, how many households or properties is this going to serve this water line? >> Uh, there's approximately 25, but that can be verified by the president. >> I'm sorry. >> 50. >> Oh, 50. >> 50 households. >> Okay.
>> That's why I got them. required. >> Yeah, I could be up tonight >> to I mean our our production is limited by whatever D tells us going to be but we have applied for the existing capacity which is 50 households. >> Okay. And 50 households are currently using >> Yeah.
>> that right now >> roughly I mean we're we may have to add two because we needed to get eastments >> to get >> Yes. That's how they >> Yeah. So there's no further expansion onto the cokes road and further down
there. >> We cannot expand. We are not taking >> any of the customers. >> We are not taking any new >> not like Route 6 in Westport but yes. Okay. >> We just we you know we can't we just uh I mean our our cap it's our capacities.
>> Thank you. Good. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Do you have any questions of us? >> No. >> I do not. I would just comment on the fortitude of the uh proponents of this because it's taken many years to get this far in a lot of ups and downs and
I'm glad to see that you know you're on the downhill slope it seems this is not at all this is just a curiosity question which is that I mean I know we we don't have a town engineer and I'm just wondering is are there people in the
highway department who are actually looking at the engineering aspects of what you're doing or is it much more just the roadway part of it? >> Correct. >> I think it's mostly roadway. >> Yeah, >> they have a detailed four-page review
that they issued today and they have some very good comments on branch details and pavement thickness. >> Okay. >> So, I'm going to be reviewing that to make we comply. >> Okay. >> And I believe you tried to find any guideline any existing guidelines.
>> Yeah, I have. We always try ahead of time to make sure we're conforming with all the standards that are applicable. We we can't be perfect sometimes and maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen them yet, but I'm sure they'll point them out to me. >> All right. Thank you.
>> Any other questions? Not a motion, please. >> Thank you. >> Second condition set out in Sorry, >> Jake made the motion. Phil seconded it with Chris's comments and all in favor
>> I >> oppose. All right, that's unanimously. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> Thanks, guys. Thank you for your time. >> You're welcome. >> Good luck. >> We're scheduled for 7:45, Mr. Chair.
>> Yeah, I was going to make that comment with >> Dan. Yeah. >> We'll get those get these minutes done quickly. >> What's that? >> Got a couple things we can talk. >> Oh, where is it? >> Yeah. Continue. So they continue for how
long they four weeks for them? Two weeks. >> Chris, how long are we continuing DCR for? Uh March 17. >> All right. We have uh continuence March March NASDCR notice of intent John Reed Road proposed
widening of beach access road with coastal beach uh Barry Beach. That's going to be continued to March 17th. So I need a motion to continue to March 17th. >> Motion continued to March 17th. Second. Good. >> Second from Phil. Jason and Phil. >> If you could acknowledge the receipt of
the letter from the fire department with a a revised comment >> for that access way. >> I I want you to all I did send them to you, but I'm going to be forwarding that to DCR tomorrow morning now that we
formally have >> brought it before the commission. >> I'm very happy with their with their >> They commented today that they're working with or trying to get some answers from Meepa and they requested a continuence for this meeting. >> That was mass DC DCR. >> Yes, they they did contact me today. So
I will just forward this letter letting them know that um this is some new comments that they came back with and they can deal with those issues as they come. >> All right. So we have I'll go ahead. >> Sorry chairman. If it's such an important emergency access road, I would
think even at this given time when there's very much very little to do at uh DCR they would be plowing that access road right now. If there was some sort of emergency on the shoreline, it's impossible to get to right now. So, >> didn't they have one during the storm?
>> Uh, that was down at Cherry Web. >> No, was it? >> That was a But, uh, again, if it's that important and that paramount to as an emergency access road, they should be clearing that even in the winter time. >> All right. So, we have a a motion, a second, and we also just want to make
