8:10 p.m. Robert and John Scott spoke of 2 of their issues regarding their lakefront property at 12 Leno Rd.
1 – They wish to extend their Coir Logs an additional 800 feet along the lakefront bank which has eroded in what they call the “swamp area”. They had a similar project done with a Notice of Intent in 2004, DEP File #184-175. They questioned whether they would require another Notice of Intent or would a Request for Determination of Applicability be suitable for this replication;
2 – They have severe beaver damage along their lakefront bank – pictures were shown – the beavers have dug up to the very top of the bank. They would like to fill these holes with a suitable material and questioned how best to proceed. They were informed by Nathan Gumlaw that he would call Mark Stinson, Circuit Rider of the Western Region of the DEP with these issues and would respond by e-mail.

Following discussion, Mary Lovett made a motion to accept the project, seconded by Marianne Martone and all were in favor of closing the Hearing at 8:45 p.m.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m.
