| REPORT OF THE CONSERVATION COMMITTEE To the inhabitants of the town of Abington: The Conservation Commission submits its Annual Report as follows. The Commission is a volunteer board appointed by the Board of Selectmen, consisting of seven voting members, mandated under M.G.L. Chapter 131, Section 40, and Abington Town By-Laws, Chapter 171, for the purposes of administration and implementation of the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act. Our meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month and are open to the public. In the year 2006, the Conservation Commission received thirteen Notice-of Intent, eleven Requests for Determination, issued eleven Certificates of Compliance, three Enforcement Orders, two Abbreviated Notices of Resource Area Delineation, amended three Orders of Condition, one extension and held many informal meetings. The filing of a Notice of Intent or a Request for Determination often requires several continuations before a hearing is closed, as well as a site walk. The Commission turned in $7,358.13 received in filing fees. The Board is involved in the actual visiting of the sites where work will be done in the buffer zone or the wetlands area. The Board also responds to wetlands violation reported by citizens, which involved many site walks and frequent communications with Department of Environmental Protection this year. Several meetings were also held regarding the Abington Landfill on Groveland Street. The members of the Commission are required to attend workshops sponsored by the state's Department of Environmental Protection in various locations. The Commission has initiated having wetlands markers installed on certain properties under the Order of Conditions that is issued to a project at the completion of a Notice of Intent hearing, indicating the lot is under the jurisdiction of the Wetlands Protection Act. Respectfully submitted, Alex Bezanson, Chairman James Connolly, Vice Chair John Curley Nathan Elliott Frank Mackiewicz, Associate Member Todd Murray Hal Norton Christine Yardley, Associate Member Richard Yardley |
