Wetland Works informed the Commission that a partially completed COC would be
coming to our next meeting. Updates were given regarding the removal of the log pile;
several plants will need to be replaced, as they didn't survive the winter. There was a
discussion about the cart path, the removal of debris, the 6th tee (recently graded, posted
with signs that read, "Environmental Area"). The present construction on the 16th hole
should be completed shortly. Blue Hills will be filing its 5th NOI for the Stream Channel
within 4-5 weeks. Ms Nadeau invited the Commission to take a look at the site.
Chairman Friel suggested that the full Commission schedule a time to observe the Blue
Hills remediation. Agent Murphy asked about a possible sale of land on the Blue Hills
Country Club and if any of this land had been variance-granted by the Commission. The
representative was not aware but would bring it to his boards attention.
