During the October 15 meeting of the Mattapoisett Conservation Commission, an Abbreviated Notice of Resource Delineation filed by New Leaf Energy Inc. was approved.
During the August 12 conservation commission meeting, members of the New Leaf team, headed by Brandon Smith, explained the on-site flagging and the reason for the filing.
An ANRAD (Abbreviated Notice of Resource Area Delineation) request noted in the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, “…serves two purposes under the (Act). First, the ANRAD provides a procedure for an applicant to confirm the delineation of a Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVW). If an ANRAD is filed for a BVW delineation, confirmation of other resource areas may also be requested provided the other resource area boundaries are identified on the plans which accompany the BVW boundary delineation. The second purpose of the ANRAD is to serve as the application for Simplified Review for projects in the Buffer Zone.”
In other business, members approved a Request for Determination of Applicability filed by Richard DeTucci, 98 Marion Road, for the installation of erosion control materials to diminish the erosion of a slope on the property.
A Notice of Intent filed by Alexandra Ablon, 4 Island View Avenue, for removal of invasive vegetation was conditioned.
A minor plan change was accepted as presented by Davignon of 5 Pine Street, and a Certificate of compliance was approved for two properties located on Ned’s Point Road, numbers 26S and 26N. Also receiving a “C of C” was 16 Hereford Hill Road.
The next meeting of the Mattapoisett Conservation Commission is scheduled for November 12.
