CONENTS: Provi: ions for the evacuation of Saguish have been incorporated into the draft plans and procedures, and include roles for the Plymouth Police Department Saquish Special Police, P,1ymouth Harbor Master, Duxbury Public Works Department, Duxbury Harbor Master and Duxbury Police Department.
The Duxbury Police Department has not yet concurred with its draf t procedure.
With respect to the "virtual impassability" of the Saquish access road during high tides, that condition occurs or approximately two days a rcnth for about two hours on each occaton.
In any event, based upon nueerous discussions with the Saguish Association and terta' photography co?..issioned Boston Edison, we believe that with the addition of a sir:le cross-eve' between the front beach road and back road, full access can be provided to and from Saquish at all times.
There are of course details that must be worked out but, we are continuing to discuss this matter with the Saguish Association..
