Articles appeared on line on June 3rd and
4th about a battle between homeowners who were attempting to rebuild
homes on Plum Island and the MA DEP. According to WCVB.com, the DEP had imposed
conditions on rebuilding that included a restriction that no structures could
be built to combat erosion. The property owners claimed the condition was
unconstitutional and obtained some help from the Pacific Legal Foundation. “Sources said that late last week just hours after the
Pacific Legal Foundation emailed its legal challenge to state officials, the
DEP called Newbury officials to say they'd be withdrawing their Order of
Intervention on Trout’s permit application” according to the website.
If anyone out there knows somebody that
is involved in this matter, suggest to them that the story would make a great
article for REBANews.
