Hello Darcy,
With regard to the fourth item below, we are proposing only 435 sf impact to BVW to create the opening in the vegeta on to facilitate
access by the treatment company to the pond. We were hoping that the 310 CMR 10.55(4)(c) could be applied in this case given the area
of impact is less than 500 feet and accessing the pond without some annual pruning would not be feasible. We may be able to scale back
on the access path by another foot of width to further reduce impacts to about 378 sf.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of 310 CMR 10.55(4)(a), the issuing authority may issue an Order of Condi ons permi ng work which
results in the loss of a por on of Bordering Vegetated Wetland when;1. said por on has a surface area less than 500 square feet;2. said
por on extends in a dis nct linear configura on ("finger-like") into adjacent uplands; and3. in the judgment of the issuing authority it is
not reasonable to scale down, redesign or otherwise change the proposed work so that it could be completed without loss of said wetland.

Good a ernoon Carl,
I had a ques on on who will be the actual company trea ng Shell Lane Pond?
I see you are asking for an an cipated dose of Sonar at 20 ppb which is fine. Will that work for you? I have more knowledge of
Sonar than the Diquat.
If you receive the order of condi ons, it will be good for 3 years. We would add a special condi on requiring wri en no fica on
prior to any follow up treatments a er the ini al treatment. You would be able to extend the order an addi onal 3 years under
the first extension request and more than likely get a second extension request for an addi onal 3 years. The 3rd extension
request are some mes granted by the Commission. So that means a poten al for 9 years of treatment or possibly 12 years.
However you have to request the extensions.
Please be prepared at the hearing to address the DEP comments that were included in the no fica on of the file number. I no ce
they are asking for a 1:1 replacement of BVW.
Would you like to share your screen tomorrow during the hearing to show any exhibits? I need to let Channel 18 know. This is a remote
hearing. Just let me know.
Thank you
