The Conservation Commission administers and enforces the Mass Wetlands Protection Act to protect wetland resource Areas in the Town from surrounding uses and activities that interfere with the functioning of those resources.

Any use or activity proposed within 100 feet of a wetland resource area or within 200 feet of a river must first be authorized by the Conservation Commission. If any entity intends to conduct such a use or activity, they must first submit a request for Determination of Applicability or a Notice of Intent, along with an engineered site plan to the Conservation Commission. After a site visit, the Conservation Commission will hold a public hearing and vote on the proposal. A decision will be made in accordance with a majority vote.
