general bylaw.  The revised bylaw would cover what activities trigger a permit and also what would be exempt.  There is currently 
no regulation on earth fill; that would also be included in the revised bylaw .  Discussion ensued on the proposed bylaw.  Board 
members will provide their input to A. Burney and Draft #1 will be revised.
