The committee is reviewing Plymouth’s current earth removal rules, which some members said lack a scientific basis while others said could work with stronger enforcement. The review may consider past and future excavation practices, scientific data, inspections, financial guarantees, engineering reviews, and which board should approve permits. The committee accepted an assignment to review ideas from recent member interviews and plans to discuss subcommittees and meet every two weeks in a hybrid format.
