FINDINGS
The applicant filed a Notice of Intent with the Conservation Commission to
permit the construction of a new water supply pond located on active
agricultural farmland. The pond was created within bordering vegetated
wetland, located within Riverfront Area to Mosquito Brook. The pond was
constructed in August•of 2002 under an emergency certification provision, which
requires the applicant to file a Notice of Intent within 60 days of the creation of
the new water supply.
The applicant failed to file a Notice of Intent within the required 60 day filing
period and was issued an Enforcement Order on February 27, 2003 and July 15,
2003. The Enforcement Orders mandated the filing of a Notice of Intent in
addition to removal of the excavated soils that had been deposited within the
wetland resource areas.
The Notice of Intent application filed on October 6, 2003 addressed the
requirements of the Enforcement Order. The Order of Conditions issued for this
project permits the construction of the new water supply that has already been
completed. Several of the conditions outlined in the Order may not be relevant
as work has already been completed and the site stabilized.
