Guy, Are you talking about the draft of the minimum line clearance specs that say draft on all the pages? http://www.mass.gov/dcr/stewardship/forestry/urban/docs/mudvmms.pdf
Karen Doherty or Eric Seaborn probably can better answer your question. I'm happy to pass it along, but I don't know that I've seen where we have the actual law posted on the DCR Site. Can you provide a link?
Thanks!
