TOWN OF TOWNSEND CONSERVATION COMMISSION LEGAL NOTICE

  Pursuant to the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and the Townsend Wetlands Bylaw, the Townsend Conservation Commission will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, August 14, 2024 at approximately 7:15 pm. The hearing will be held virtually via Zoom meeting and in person at Town Hall, on a Notice of Intent (NOI) filed with the Conservation Commission by MassDOT. The project location is the culvert under Route 119 (Main Street), approximately 100-feet west of its intersection with Edward Road. 

The NOI was filed retroactively for structural repairs following a headwall and embankment collapse which resulted in a blockage of the upstream end of the culvert. The work occurred in Land Under Water, Riverfront Area, and the 100’ bordering vegetated wetland buffer.

Parties wishing to speak in support of, or in opposition to, this application may do so at the meeting or in writing prior to the meeting. Copies of this application are available for review at Town Hall during business hours.
