Kelly,
I forgot to add in my prior e-mail the additional request to move this matter to the beginning of the agenda. Should not
take long (I hope) and then I’m not waiting behind all the other matters.
Thank you.

Kelly,
I trust you can appreciate the problem if ratified as drafted, particularly the timeframe to file which we cannot meet. I
agree the NOI filing can better address matters as more will be known but we’ll be in the unenviable position of
apparent non-compliance with the EO and that I must avoid. Accordingly, I’ll put aside my existing commitment and
attend tonight to request the continuance.

Hi Jamie
The EO was drafted based on the Commission’s current understanding of the violation, based on the material at
hand. The required action is based on my understanding the Commission’s requirements for addressing the
violation. The EO is on the agenda to allow the Commission to review, edit and ratify it. I will pass on your concerns to
them and your request to continue the matter to the Sept 5 meeting, on the basis that there will be more information
on which to base their review. If they choose to ratify the EO please note that the NOI will still provide the opportunity
to better define the resource areas and proposed/past activity.
Thanks

Importance: High
Kelly,
Thank you for sending for review. I left you a voicemail to discuss the contents of the draft and the fact it will be
discussed tonight. In short, the findings and order are not as I was lead to believe yesterday and severely prejudice us as
there has been no determination of a dune, removal nor regrading. As I explained , we are having core samples
done. Moreover, we do intend to file a new NOI regarding beach cleaning and nourishment and as part of that will
include mitigation measures, but the extent of those cannot be known until the sampling is done and an opportunity is
provided to discuss the same with the Commission, which I understood would take place at a status review on
9/5. Lastly, there was no mention and it infeasible to have any type of restoration plan done on or before 9/5, putting
aside the fact that the scope of the same is unknown.
My attending tonight on such short notice will prove problematic if this is still going to be discussed, and thus, I’m
asking for the courtesy of being present when such discussions take place, an accordingly, that this not be taken up
tonight. Please advise concerning this request.
Thank you.

Hi James
I spoke with the Chairman yesterday and he declined your request to meet with him prior to the September 5 meeting.
The Green Harbor Enforcement Order is on tonight’s agenda for review and to be ratified by the Commission.
