RE:

Eat Cake 4 Breakfast

________________________________________________________________________________________

Danielle Nettleton is applying for an annual Retail Food Permit and a Food Service Food Permit to operate her bakery “Eat Cake 4 Breakfast”, located at 302 Underpass Road Unit #1. A septic inspection will not be required at this time as it is not a real estate transfer. Plans are on file for the 2006 Title V system which includes a 1,000 gallon grease trap. The system has recently been serviced.

Ms. Nettleton has submitted to this department most of the necessary paperwork including a thoroughly completed application, floor plans, equipment specifications sheets and a sample menu. When her menu has been finalized a copy will be submitted to this office. The menu will include the consumer advisory and allergen awareness statements.

Ms. Nettleton will be the Certified Food Manager (CFM) who will oversee employee health and hygiene, cleaning, sanitation, and food handling procedures for this establishment. Ms. Nettleton was schedule to take the CFM recertification class on June 22, 2015, and plans on obtaining her Allergen Awareness Certification. Both certifications will be submitted to this office once received.

The exiting kitchen is in compliance with all sink requirements. Ms. Nettleton has been working on renovations to the business establishment and will be adding new equipment including an ice machine, a walk in cooler, a walk in freezer, an espresso machine, a refrigerated display case, a soda chest, a mixer, a dough sheeter, and a wind oven with a poof box. Ms. Nettleton will be using quarternary ammonium as her sanitizer.

Based upon my review of this proposal and conversations with Ms. Nettleton, the proposed new business should be acceptable provided that all provisions of the federal and state Food Code are being met. Ms. Nettleton has made contact with the other necessary town offices regarding her business proposal. I would recommend the following based upon information provided for this review:

1) Obtain a copy of the State and Federal Food Code and operate this food establishment under all applicable provisions of the code;

To: The Board of Selectman From: Susan Broderick Date: July 29, 2015 RE: Request for Hawker & Peddler License John Kirkbride has filed an application for a Hawker & Peddler license for Door-to-Door sales for SolarCity. I reached out to other Cape Towns as well as other Towns in the State to see what bylaws, policies or procedures they may have in place in regards to this request, the information is attached. The responses could be broken down into several categories. Several Towns, including Dennis and Yarmouth have specific Bylaws for Door-to-Door Solicitation and/or Canvassing. Several Towns do not issue a Town Hawker & Peddler license, but do require a State Hawker & Peddler license for door-to-door sales. Almost all of the Towns that do not ban or deny permits for door-to-door sales have the individual register with the Police Department. The Police Department will do a background check on the individual and many will record the vehicle information that the individual will be using. Whitman and Southwick require the individual to check in with the Police Department on the days they will be in the Town to provide the specific areas they will be in that day. Brewster does have a loitering bylaw § 130-6. Prohibited activities. No person shall stand or remain in any doorway or upon any stairs, doorstep, porch or other projection from any house or building or upon any wall or fence or near any street or public place after having been requested by the owner or any occupant of the premises or by any police officer to move along.

Office of: Board of Selectmen Town Administrator

Response From Towns on Policy/Procedures for Door to Door Sales

Dennis Has a Bylaw; In Dennis, the issuance of door-to-door solicitation permits is governed by the Police Chief. He decides whether or not to approve an application, rather than the Board of Selectmen. I just heard back from the Police Department. According to them, Benjamin Pond and John Kirkbride were approved in Dennis for a door-to-door solicitation permit in Dennis. The police met with them and conducted necessary background checks. In making their rounds, the two wore solar city shirts and carried appropriate credentials. Bylaw in packet

Yarmouth See Door-to-Door Solicitation bylaw in packet. Harwich No policy, but does not allow. Truro No policy at this time. Have received similar questions from Solar companies to go door to door. Is Brewster going to allow this? We would probably end up with many complaints from people. Wellfleet We have a very old regulation, from 1975, which I have attached. In the last 14 years, if I have any calls about soliciting I refer them to this regulation: On a motion duly made and seconded, the Board voted to invoke a new Town regulation that no type of soliciting may be done in Wellfleet without first obtaining permission from the Chief of Police and the Board of Selectmen, to be effective immediately. Provincetown No bylaw at this time, have not dealt with the issue, yet. Lakeville Does have a door to door sale regulation. However, if the vendor has a State issued License to Peddle, they are allowed to sell in any town in Massachusetts. They still do have to abide by any rules that the Town sets.

Section 1. No person shall canvass, solicit, or call from house to house in the town to sell or attempt to sell any goods or services including sales or attempted sales by sample or by the taking of orders for the future delivery of such goods or services without first having received a written permit therefor from the Board of Selectmen. Every such permit shall contain such conditions and restrictions as the Selectmen, after investigation of the applicant and application, deem necessary to protect the safety, security and convenience of the public.

Lenox We have a by-law that states that application must be made to the Board of Selectmen. It is then placed on their meeting agenda. I have worked here over twenty-five years, and the Board has

denied every request. We usually only receive one or two per year, but we have never granted permission. I would suggest if your Town does approve door to door sales, you should have the individual(s) register with your police department. Residents typically will call the police when they see a strange car or individual in a neighborhood. At least they could then say that they aware of the person and that they are ok. Easton In Easton door to door sales people have to speak to the police dept. Whitman Whitman does not license door to door salesmen. Anyone wishing to go door to door must check in with our police dept. each day that they plan to be in town and notify them of what streets they will be on for each particular day Southwick We consider this Canvassing. First they must fill out a CORI and I do a CORI on them. Then we request: An ID from their employer and/or a letter verifying employment. Valid License, Make Model License Plate # of vehicle Each day they are required to let me know what part of town they will be in and what times. I then notify dispatch. Lancaster The Town of Lancaster does not issue Hawkers & Peddlers License for such activity. We simply require that they report to the Police Department with their proposed activity schedule and they take down names, license and registration numbers, etc. in the event residents call or have any complaints.

Grafton All Door to Door vendors must register with the Police Department here in Grafton Quincy All are door to door sales need a permit from the Police Chief. See packet for bylaw

Uxbridge We have them check in with the police department. We have no bylaw or permitting requirements Buckland We have them fill out a Solicitor's Permit; it has to be signed off by the Chief of Police. Northfield No bylaw in Northfield. They have to register with the police.

Manchester We do not have any licensing for peddlers but they do have to register with the Police Department

Hampden Hampden allows this sort of thing, as long as the salespeople come to the PD, fill out simple form and alert them each time they will be in town. I have heard of no problems ever with this process. And there is no cost associated with it.

Stoughton For the door to door it is s Hawkers & Peddlers license which is issued by the State. We just require them to check in with the Police Station and give them their information along with license # and where they will be. Plainville Plainville does issue Hawker/Peddler licenses but does interview with representative, sets hours they can solicit, they must have badges with photo id’s, etc., and they must check in with the police department each day they will be in Town. Right now, solar companies are big and we may have more than one in town at the same time.

Rehoboth In the Town of Rehoboth we have a bylaw that states they must obtain a Hawker & Peddlers License. The must have a letter from the company they work for stating they represent the company and it must clearly state exactly what they are doing. A CORI check is required on all individuals soliciting door to door. Once license is issued by the Board of Selectmen, they must take license to Police Department and register with them, providing their vehicle registration, driver’s license and copy of Hawker & Peddler’s License.

Proposed Project Name and Mill Pond Conservation Project: Consisting of two parcels- Project Address/Assessor’s Parcel: 1. Birdsall-Douglass Property: Map 93 Lot 54 -2.32 acres 2. Buehler Property: Map 93 Lot 53 2.23. acres Project Synopsis: The Mill Pond Conservation Project involves the preservation of two lots directly across the street from the Town’s eastern ZONE II, protecting the 110-acre Frey Wellfield. Drinking water recharge areas/wellfields has always been at the top of Brewster’s land acquisition list and these properties specifically benefit wellfield protection (Wells #1, #2 and #3) as well as preserving pine-oak-beech woodlands wildlife habitat. Preservation of these parcels also precludes additional nitrogen loads which would result from development of these two parcels within the ZONE II of Brewster and Orleans wellfields. Both parcels sit on Mill Pond, a heavily impaired pond, putting them on the Priority Pond Parcel acquisition list for protection of Brewster ponds. These properties fall within the Herring River Watershed and have been reviewed as part of the Massachusetts Estuaries Project (MEP). Preservation of these properties will help the Town comply with the state's suggested total maximum daily loading (TMDL) nitrogen limits for the Herring River Watershed by preventing development and associated on-site septic systems that might otherwise occupy this site in the future. Brewster Conservation Trust (BCT) will pay $150,000 for each property (totaling $300,000) and the Town will pay $50,000 for the Conservation Restriction on each property (totaling $100,000) and will hold said Conservation Restrictions.

1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The proposed parcels total 4.55 acres. They are located west of Route 137 and south of Freemans Way. These parcels lie within Brewster’s eastern ZONE II for the 110-acre Frey Wellfield. Drinking water recharge areas/wellfields have long been on Brewster’s land acquisition/preservation list. Brewster’s eastern ZONE II specifically benefits the Frey wellfield (Wells #1, #2 and #3 and Orleans’ eight wells just over the Brewster/Orleans border, as well as preserving wildlife habitat. The land is completely within the Town's District of Critical Planning Concern which encompasses all Zone IIs in Brewster. Both parcels also sit on Mill Pond and are on the Priority Pond Parcel acquisition list for protection of Brewster ponds. (ATTs. A-D & L) Mill Pond is an impaired pond, based on the 2012 study done for the Brewster Comprehensive Water Planning Committee. It is within the watershed to Long Pond and is therefore part of a sub-watershed of the Herring River Watershed. With the current development patterns in Brewster, the Town has no obligation to reduce nitrogen loading in the Herring River Watershed under current conditions. As Brewster becomes more built out, it will have to take steps to hold nitrogen loads to current loads. Ongoing open space acquisition such as preservation of these two parcels reduces Brewster’s future nitrogen load for this watershed.

There is a dilapidated house sitting on the Buehler property. All structures will be demolished and removed by the Brewster Conservation Trust (BCT). The Buehler septic system, which has never been used, is located on the south side of the house and would have directly contributed both nitrogen and phosphorus to the Mill Pond. The Buehler home also has a paved roadway/ramp leading from Route 137 to the pond, which allows stormwater runoff to run directly into the Mill Pond. This roadway will be removed by the BCT and the area will be re-vegetated. (ATT. N) This is the second conservation “un-development” project that the Town has been involved in; the first being removal of the Jolly Whaler Motel at Betty’s Curve after a Land Bank purchase in 2003.

The properties are comprised of typical Cape Cod pitch-pine/oak/beech woodland. The parcel is also within a State Priority Habitat for Rare Species (MESA), a Core Habitat area on the State's BioMap2. The State considers these areas to be of the highest significance for wildlife habitat, not only in Brewster, but also in Massachusetts. (ATTs. E-H) In 2013, through a direct mailing, the Open Space Committee reached out to about 40 owners of critical parcels the Committee has targeted as important for conservation, watershed protection and open space. Both of these owners were contacted as a part of this outreach. If these lots are not preserved for conservation/ wellfield protection, one would be sold for new residential development and the other would likely have the dilapidated building removed and a new residence could be built within the existing footprint. The Town Board of Water Commissioners and the Conservation Commission both support this project. Once the properties are acquired by the COMPACT of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts and ORENDA Wildlife Trust, they will be turned over to the BCT. The BCT will then convey perpetual Conservation Restrictions over the two parcels to the Brewster Conservation Commission in compliance with requirements of the Community Preservation Act. 2. CPA GOALS/CRITERIA:

The goals of this project encompass many of the Community Preservation general criteria areas for community preservation and enhancement serving the purposes of Open Space, and Recreation; saving resources that would otherwise be threatened; leveraging public funds and enhancing existing Town resources; all contributing to the preservation of Brewster's unique character. Form 8/6/2015 Community Preservation Committee Mill Pond Application July 23, 2015

General Criteria: The Town’s recently updated Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP) reiterates and confirms the Town’s long-standing objective of preserving open space as an important means of protecting wellhead recharge areas. Acquiring these parcels supports this objective. Equally important, preserving this land at the low cost of a Conservation Restriction is an efficient use of Town financial resources. As described in more detail below, under Open Space Criteria, the Town’s expenditure for preservation of this land, relative to the critical natural resources that will be preserved and protected, demonstrates a very positive cost/benefit relationship.

OPEN SPACE CRITERIA:

Wildlife Habitat, Biodiversity, Protection of Wildlife Corridors:

• These lots consist of typical dense pitch-pine/oak/beech Cape Cod forest, with an understory of black huckleberry, blueberry, viburnum, bracken fern and a groundcover of mayflower and checkerberry. (ATTs. M-N)

• This property is within Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (MESA) Habitat for Rare Species, the state Biomap Core Habitats Area, Natural Heritage Endangered Species Program Estimated & Priority Habitat Areas and part of Statewide Land Conservation Plan Priorities. (ATT. E)

• Preserving these parcels will permanently protect important wildlife habitat, including areas that are of significance for biodiversity and rare species protection such as Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina), Special Concern (SC).

• By promoting connectivity of habitat and preventing the fragmentation of such habitats, protection of these parcels will allow the existing wildlife corridors to remain within forested, undeveloped land.

• This represents an extraordinary opportunity for the Town of Brewster to preserve and protect high priority parcels identified using a composite value ranking in the Town’s Open Space Plan, as well as being on the Priority Pond Parcel Acquisition list.

Drinking Water/Wellfield Protection:

• The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has determined that Carver coarse sand is the dominant soil type existing throughout Brewster’s South Wellfield, Frey Wellfield and surrounding Zone II privately owned lands, including these properties. Carver soils are characterized as excessively well drained with rapid permeability. This soil type provides a poor medium for filtering out nitrates associated with on-site residential septic systems. Any prevention/reduction in development and associated on-site septic systems in Brewster’s Zone II supports Drinking Water Wellfield Protection, as well as the health of Mill Pond and the Herring River Watershed. (ATTs. G-H)

Groundwater/Pond Resource Protection Goals: The Town of Brewster Integrated Water Resource Management Plan (IWRMP) Phase II- Final Report, January 28, 2013 Horsley Witten Group, Inc. produced for the Brewster Comprehensive Water Planning Committee stated the following( in part):

• “In Brewster, there are about 80 ponds that lie either completely or partially within the Town boundaries. The ponds are diverse in depth, pond type and water quality. Ranging from 0.1 acre to 730


4

acres, all of these ponds appear to be well-connected to the regional groundwater table, the Monomoy Lens, which supplies Brewster’s Drinking water. Many of these ponds now have compromised water quality due to excessive loading of phosphorus, the nutrient of concern that controls the level of excess plant and algae growth, a process known as eutrophication. This can deplete oxygen levels, cause fish kills and noxious odors and reduce water column visibility. Common sources of phosphorus include phosphate-containing cleaners or detergents, human and animal waste, vehicle exhaust deposits and fertilizers from lawns, golf courses and agriculture. Out of the 80 ponds, 29 are regularly monitored by the Pond and Lakes Stewards (PALS) with samples taken to provide information on a number of parameters”. (Page G-88) (ATT. I)

• “Mill Pond is one of 22 known impaired ponds, with another 24 possible impaired. Some indicators of

poor water quality are poor water clarity, high phosphorus concentrations, high concentrations of algae, low dissolved oxygen at the pond bottom. In an effort to protect pond health, the Board of Health now has a regulation that specifies that septic leaching fields must be setback at least a 300 feet from ponds.” (Page G-89)

• Both of these parcels are affected by this regulation. The Buehler septic had already been installed on the pond side of the house and is within the 300 foot setback. Acquisition of this parcel and removal of that system will prevent it ever being put into operation.

Stormwater Issues:

• “Stormwater runoff is the excess precipitation that’s runs off over land and discharges to nearby receiving waters such as streams, ponds, wetlands and estuaries. Stormwater can impact all of Brewster’s water resources in different ways. As land development occurs, impervious surfaces block the natural infiltration of rainwater, thereby reducing the recharge rate and lowering the water table (affecting the pumping of drinking water). Water temperature is also increased in waters near impervious areas. New land uses can introduce pollutants and nutrients that are carried by stormwater to receiving waters. Ponds are susceptible to phosphorus loads which can exacerbate algae and aquatic plant levels. Coastal waters are sensitive to stormwater impacts that alter salinity levels and to nitrogen loads that promote algae growth and impact eel grass health.” (IWRMP, Page F-67)

• There is currently a paved ramp on the Buehler property which leads directly from Long Pond Road to

Mill Pond, allowing stormwater to flow directly into the pond, likely contributing to its impairment. Acquisition of this parcel and removal of this ramp will help improve the health of this pond. Preventing any development on the Birdsall-Douglass property will also prevent stormwater pollution from that property. (ATT. N)

Protection of Coastal Embayment: The Herring River Watershed: In a December 8, 2014 memo to Sue Leven, Brewster Town Planner, Mark Nelson, P.G. Horsley Witten Group, Inc. provided an analysis of the Massachusetts Estuaries Program (MEP) report for the Herring River (University of Massachusetts, School of Marine Science Technology, Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MEP 2013). In part, this analysis stated:

• “The Massachusetts Environmental Protection Agency (MEPA) working with UMASS Amherst (SMAST) produced an MEP report on the state of Massachusetts Estuaries. Their studies estimated the amount of nitrogen entering estuaries and what would be expected at full buildout. Mill Pond lies within the Herring River Watershed.”


5

• “Given the configuration of this watershed and the current development patterns in Brewster, the Town has no obligation to reduce nitrogen loading in the Herring River watershed under current conditions. This outcome is because Brewster’s entire nitrogen load enters the West Reservoir Group, which is a healthy marsh system whose threshold critical nitrogen load is set the same as the current (2013) load. As Brewster becomes more built out, it will have to take steps to hold nitrogen loads to the current loads. Based on the buildout analysis in the MEP report, the increased nitrogen load from additional development in the watershed that includes land in Brewster is expected to be approximately 4,200 lbs. Nitrogen/year”.

• “Since the watersheds in the Herring River and West Reservoir Group include land in Brewster and

Harwich, the buildout load is anticipated from both towns, so Brewster would be responsible for a portion of this additional load. Ongoing open space preservation in Brewster has reduced Brewster’s component of the buildout nitrogen load. As Brewster continues to evaluate strategies to minimize the impacts of buildout on the Pleasant Bay watershed, the same alternative management approaches can be considered for the Herring River watershed.”

• Preservation of any undeveloped parcels as open space is the best and least costly avenue to protect the

watershed and prevent additional nitrogen and phosphorus loading to ponds.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION CRITERIA:

• The Massachusetts Historical Commission identifies Route 137 in Brewster, in its Town inventory map files, as part of the original Native American Regional Trail System on the Cape, connecting the Trail along Cape Cod Bay to the Trail along Nantucket and Vineyard Sounds. Many native trails ran off of this major route, connecting to lands to the east and west.

• The Birdsall-Douglass & Buehler properties are within 300 feet of Route 137 and fall within the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District established by the State legislature in 1973, acknowledged as one of the largest Historic Districts in the nation. (ATT. J)

• Preservation of these properties will help to protect a scenic wooded area along this section of Route

137, enhancing the rural integrity of the Historic District. This portion of Brewster has been developed at a very high density. Protecting this area from further development will help to retain some of that rural character.

• These parcels also fall within the Town of Brewster Archaeological Resources mapped areas of Primary and Secondary Sensitivity. This generally includes all areas within 1,000 feet of marine ecosystems and particularly those areas within close proximity to fresh water. These areas have a high probability of containing prehistoric archaeological sites. One of the four most important areas for management consideration is the ponds of the Herring River Drainage system, of which Mill Pond is one. (ATT .K)

PASSIVE RECREATION: While no trails currently exist on the property, there are a number of wildlife pathways traversing the parcels and leading to the pond. Every Town survey that has been done indicates that residents and visitors alike want more walking trails. This is an opportunity to provide public access to unfragmented woodlands via footpath for walking, nature observation and other passive activities. (ATT. O)


6

There is public parking space on Old Long Pond Road. In the future, BCT expects to provide sensitive access through the properties to the pond. (ATTs. A & P) 3. COMMUNITY BENEFITS: Responses to the Town’s open space surveys, including the most recent one conducted in conjunction with the Town’s 2013 update to its Open Space & Recreation Plan consistently have shown that preserving land for drinking water/pond protection and wildlife habitat preservation ranks high with the community. This land preservation project responds directly to those Community Objectives.

4. COMMUNITY SUPPORT: There are a number of partners in this project. The Compact of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts, Inc. (COMPACT) and The Brewster Conservation Trust (BCT) have facilitated a number of Town purchases and Conservation Restrictions over the last few years. The Open Space Committee is pleased to have Orenda Wildlife Trust (ORENDA) joining in this purchase. This organization already owns a number of parcels on No Bottom Pond, off Route 137. (ATT. P)

The Conservation Commission voted its support for this acquisition. The Board of Water Commissioners also supports these purchases.

Working with BCT and ORENDA, the COMPACT provided negotiation and technical assistance towards these acquisitions, drafted the Purchase and Sale (P&S) Agreement, and will draft the Conservation Restrictions, on behalf of the Town.

The following letters of support and comment are attached. (ATT. P)

1. Brewster Board of Water Commissioners 2. Brewster Conservation Commission

3. Compact of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts 4. Brewster Conservation Trust

5. TIMELINE:

As described above, the Mill Pond Conservation Project came about as a direct result of the Open Space Committee’s targeted outreach. It is expected that these parcels will close by November 2016.

6. CREDENTIALS:

The Open Space Committee has a long track record of bringing important conservation, watershed protection and open space parcels to the attention of the Community Preservation Committee and the Town. The Open Space Committee has the assistance of several partners in this project; the COMPACT, the BCT and ORENDA.

7. BUDGET:

ORENDA is proposing to acquire the Birdsall-Douglass property off Long Pond Road. This parcel is a vacant pine-oak woodlot. The owners have agreed to a bargain sale of $200,000. Once this property closes, ORENDA will assign its ownership to the BCT.


7

• The Birdsall-Douglass 2.32 acre parcel was appraised for BCT at $202,000 in 2014 and appraised for the owners in 2015 at $300,000. It is assessed by the Town Assessor at $298,500 in 2015. The owners have agreed to a negotiated sales price of $200,000. They will receive a $50,000 state tax credit/refund.

The COMPACT is proposing to acquire the Buehler parcel. This lot contains a dilapidated house. The owners have also agreed to a bargain sale at $200,000 acquisition. Once this property closes, the COMPACT will assign its ownership to the BCT.

• The Buehler 2.23 acre parcel was appraised for BCT at $190,000 in 2014 and appraised for the owner at $315,000 in 2015. It is assessed by the Town Assessor at $339,600 in 2015. The owner has agreed to a negotiated sales price of $200,000. The owner will also receive a $57,500 state tax credit/refund. Buehler will also avoid the cost of demolition, since BCT will take care of this.

The COMPACT, BCT and ORENDA will be together contributing $300,000 towards these purchases. The Town will be contributing a total of $100,000. The BCT will also be assuming the responsibility for demolition and clean-up of the Buehler parcel.

July 1, 2015 Ms. Melissa Cryan Division of Conservation Services RE: ENV 16 DCS 03 Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs Conservation Partnership Grant 100 Cambridge Street, 9th Floor Mill Pond, Brewster Boston MA 02114 Dear Ms. Cryan: The Town of Brewster Conservation Commission voted unanimously to support the pending application of the Orenda Wildlife Land Trust, Inc. to request a State Conservation Partnership grant to enable Orenda to purchase and preserve the 2.32-acre Birdsall-Douglass property on Mill Pond. To that end, assuming Town Meeting approval of the acquisition in Spring 2016, the Conservation Commission looks forward to holding a perpetual Conservation Restriction (CR) on the parcel to further guarantee its preservation and passive public access to the land. As you will learn through the grant application, this request is part of a larger 4.5-acre proposal in which the Brewster Conservation Trust will purchase the adjoining pondfront lot at the same time that Orenda hopes to buy this locus lot. The Town Conservation Commission would hold the CR on both lots. We are happy to be part of this complex transaction that will provide formal public access to the pond for the first time. We understand that the BCT will seek, at a later date, a short catwalk ten feet into the pond for public viewing. The Conservation Commission will review that proposal when it comes before us for consistency with the wetlands protection act and regulations. Orenda is one of the Town’s open space partners, owning 20+ acres farther north along Route 137. We enjoy working with Orenda and BCT, the State and The Compact and our other partners to share the load in providing the people of Brewster and the Commonwealth with quality open spaces. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this exciting “undevelopment” and preservation proposal. Sincerely, James M. Gallagher Conservation Administrator cc: E. Lewis, Orenda; M.
