Residents are invited to join a Teams call on Nov. 8
The Tewksbury Conservation Commission is proposing to update the Tewksbury Wetland Protection Bylaw and regulations.
The proposed changes include, but may not be limited to:
1. Making application procedures and timeframes more consistent with the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act and its associated regulations (310 CMR 10.00);
2. Improving the 50-foot No Build Zone performance standards;
3. Updating the terms and definitions;
4. Addressing how constructed stormwater management systems should be regulated;
5. Improving language used to describe waivers allowed under the Bylaw;
6. Placing the governance of “minor exempt activities” within the Commission’s regulations; and
7. Having the regulations incorporate more “minor exempt activities” as are allowed under 310 CMR 10.00.
Town staff will hold a virtual meeting to discuss the proposed changes to the Bylaw & regulations on Wednesday, Nov. 8, 2023, from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
Residents can access and take part in the meeting directly at this link. Alternatively, access the meeting by visiting the Teams website and entering the following information:
