Hi Chris,
It's unfortunate that the Boy Scout parcel does not have a clear title. The IRT reviewed the proposed amendment
and agree that the remaining restoration and enhancement reaches still offer valuable functional uplift to Swift
Creek. Two concerns that need to be addressed include, 1) The portions of the project that are being removed
should maintain a stable (even if currently degraded) system including the confluences of Shard and Fisher with
Swift Creek by excluding (fencing) livestock from stream reaches, and 2) Crossing #3 should be shifted so that it is
internal to the conservation easement. The preference is to have the crossing included in the easement, and be
oriented perpendicular to the channel, rather than at an angle, and avoid the wetlands adjacent to reach 3.
We support moving forward with this project with the proposed change, provided you are able to incorporate the
IRT comments above. Please reach out with any questions.
Thanks
Kim

Hi Kim-> We wanted to communicate that a part of the Great Meadow project will have to be dropped because we
cannot get clear title on the parcel owned by the Boy Scouts.
The parcel was deeded to the Boy Scouts in the 1930s and the deed included a number of restrictions. The
restrictions will need to be released by the grantors' heirs in order to gain clear title.
I talked to all six of the heirs and four are fine with releasing the restrictions but two are not.
I thought maybe we could get there but their lack of willingness to communicate about the matter makes it
impossible to proceed.
So we'd like to schedule a call with you to see what effect this change might have on the project. Would you be
available sometime next week for a brief call? Thanks very much, Chris
