0146(1 A and B)---All of the playground equipment noted in this paragraph have been installed and inspected in years past by DCYF and accepted. Any requirement to remove and replace all of the equipment that now may not comply to newer rules and the arbitrary enforcement, would cause a severe hardship as the cost would be prohibitive. Fall zone surfacing material will be upgraded within ten days, allowing for scheduling. We would choose to dispute the requirement to rebuild the playground based on the prior inspections and acceptance by DCYF.
