From what I have found Mass CM 304 was rescinded except for the traffic and parking sections. CMR 304.12.11 addressed DCR beach detecting. There were two regulating divisions that combined and the 302DRAFT was written in August 2013, public comment time was in November2013, vote was to be in December. There is only two places in the new 302.04.23.(h) and 302.12.17(2) regulate metal detectors. Horses are NOT pets and the gun toters won some ground at the open hearings...NO mention of metal detectors. It looks like it is a done deal unless the commission is presented with an appeal for a change at this point. This change ONLY controls DCR FRESH, SALT WATER BEACHES AND ALL THEIR PARKS. I have E-mailed the commissioner via Energy and Environmental Affairs asking for further explainations on April 19th with no reply as of today (4-2.
