9:50 C, Anthony left. H. Hulse returned and -presided over the
meeting in place of C. Anthony and J. Lachmayr.
Suitability of the word "debris" was questioned in the
draft Order. Though MGL c. 131, s.40 jurisdiction extends
to the limit, of the 100 foot Buffer Zone, PGB Section 5.7
extends beyond to justify the requirement for removal of
unsuitable debris as listed in DEP General Condition #8.
The Commis's.,ion discussed the following Condition: 20% of
the Bond or, at the discretion of the Commission, that per-
cent which would reflect the water and sewer crossing work,
shall be retained until the Commission. confirms 75% success
of the wetland replication by the end of the second growing
season.
