Each of the Commissioners read Peter O'Brien's letter which

one-year extension by October 15, 1981 to complete his pond
steps will be taken to initiate litigation against the Commission
and the Commissioners individually.
Chairwoman Royle reported that since receiving this letter she
had spoken with Chris Tilden of DEQE, who agreed that the State
would make an on-site inspection of the pond ad sumbit an opinion
concerning the present situation. In addition, Chairwoman Royle
reported that she had spoken with Greg MacGregor, an attorney
specializing in environmental matters, concerning his rates ($75/hr
and the services he would provide (i.e., avoiding litigation, advi(e

legal aspects of the law, representation in court, if it came to
that point).
The Commissioners discussed at some length the possible alternatives
in response to this letter.
