Please be prepared to respond to the following at the meeting on Thursday, or have the homeowner/engineer accompany you or provide responses. Nourishment- grain size analysis was never provided, nor a post- nourishment report, was it completed? bank plantings do not appear to have been fully completed- some large bare areas especially at the top of bank seaward of the roses Slopes are bare and not stabilized near machine access- must be addressed Pile of vegetative debris just upland of restored marsh near property line must be removed Attention!: This email originates outside of the organization.

I have since spoken with the client, and they plan to file for a Certificate of Compliance (COC) in the near future to close out the OOC and EO. As the project is in the final stage of restoration, the client is hoping to complete the Attention!: This email originates outside of the organization.

Would it be acceptable for Wilkinson to prepare the required letter in the capacity of a qualified surveyor? We can utilize our in-house RTK GPS unit to verify the square footage of the salt marsh restoration and include those findings in the letter submitted with the COC application. We will also plan to attend the COC hearing to address any questions regarding the restoration work. Please let me know if this approach would be acceptable or if you need any additional information.

I recommend a COC request be filed to close out the OOC and resolve the EO. A letter from a surveyor/engineer must accompany it since the original order had a stamped plan. A request for an ongoing condition in the COC to continue managing the phragmites should be included, which the commission regularly grants. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Call the sender to verify if unsure. Otherwise delete this email. Good Afternoon Brittany, Hope all is well; as we wrap our year I wanted to reach out and check on the status of the Enforcement order for our clients at 35 Aunt Dorah's Ln. The third monitoring report as required by the EO was submitted to the town on 11/26/25, and in our assessment we think that the marsh restoration has been very successful and the phragmites invasion has been managed. With this, our client is eager to close out their permit. What would the town like to see to close out this project with the EO and extended OOC? Did the EO supersede the OOC, and should a Certificate of Compliance be sought? The client would like to have it be permissible to continue phragmites management, with town notification, to treat any phragmites that may appear in the future, which I am looking to capture in closing out the EO. Feel free to reach out with any questions, or if you need any additional information. I appreciate your guidance with this matter.
