Wetland Permit by Notification (PBN):
Expedited Minimum Impact Wetlands Application:
Standard Wetlands Dredge and Fill Applications:
1) Standard Wetlands- William Friece, 244 Sleepers Island M74 L35 -The work consisted of removing the boathouse structure which also served as a large, elevated deck accessible from the second story of the house. Several wood deck walkways along the sides of the boathouse and leading to an adjacent dock were also removed. These structures can clearly be seen in the first photograph included in Attachment 2. The permitted dug-in basin, approximately 12’ x 26’ in size, was then filled in to restore the upland that existed prior to the work being conducted under the 1977 permit. A vertical boulder retaining wall was constructed to re-establish the original shoreline across the former basin and around its southeast corner where the bank had been compromised. A geotextile lining was added behind the wall to prevent washout and the interior area of the wall was backfilled using clean rock. The rock used for the backfill and the wall was imported to the island for this purpose. The surface of the filled in permitted basin was finished using sand, consistent with the adjacent areas on the property. The project involved a total of 26 linear feet of temporary bank impacts for the wall and 312 square feet to fill the basin.

1) Shoreland Permit Application – Regan Family Rev Trust, Robert D & Erica L Regan Trustees, 45 Indian Shore Road M62 L2 – The proposed project includes removal of old house down to the foundation, removal of garage, removal of non-approved pervious paver areas.
