and discussed «�hat we «-ished to accomplisli and various possible niethods to accomplish this as �vell as the permittin; process in �eneral. All three of us walked north and south of the roadwati� and east and tivest along the site. 1�1s. Strauss told us the degree of�vvrk she tii�ould find accepta.ble with a shoreline stabilization permit from the MDNR and MCWD. She also explained that work beyond that would require a different type of permit called a shoreline restoration permit. We �vere told to initiate the permit process �vith an application to the MCWD and �vhat type of permit may be reqtiired could be more accurateh� determicied wllen the details of�vhat �.ve decided on and choose to pursue �vere clearly detlned. I did submit a lenghty and detailed permit request to the MCWD before Jan. 1, 1999 and understand that that �vill in tttrn be shared with the MDNR by the MCWD and a seperate application to the MDNR �vas not necessary. We have fiiltilled all the requirements yoti requested on No��. 30, 1998 and �vill contintie tu seek anti� additioiial permits required bv the MCWD and MDNR for the ��ork �ve w-ish to do at this time. As to the e�-tention of time I requested on land alteration permit number O 10�0� from the city of Orono, I provided a �vritten request for an eYtention «-ithin the required tinie and see no reasoti that yoti should be reluctant to grant it, as it is no di�erent than �vliat you already granted on June 23, 1998. Wlien I met �.i-ith vou in June of 1998 at otir lakeshore, I very clearly e�plained the additional �vork �ve ��-ished to do to repair holes, depressions, and ca��e ins both north and solith of the roadwav and e�-tendinQ east and �ti�est. You and I �valked the shoreline south of the road��-ay and I pointed out a ntimber of holes, burrows, etc. and elplained our desire to use this pennit (010404) to complete the additional �vork. You and I also walked north of the roadway and I sho�ved you similar holes along our pond north of the roadway. My ��-ritten application for permit number 010404 also states my intention of filling these holes throughout my propertv clearlv. On June 23, 1998 I also showed vou a number of holes and cave ins that we had already iilled o��er man}- years. What we were doing was nothing different than ��-hat we had done on many occasions during our twenty years of living here. We routinely �ill in the worst holes and repair dartiage as part of our regular niaintenance of our propertv. This past work has never caused anti• problem, of any ri�pe, for anyone. On tlie contrary', it is easy to see that this past work has halted damage to trees, our shoreline, our lawns, the road shotilder �vhere people walk, and the pavement. There are spots, still clearly ��isible, where the pavement had started to crumble and fall awav due to bunows undermining the road and the road collapsing into the hole. Our work halted this and stabilized and supported the pavement. Without our �. 4�
