Commission stalls Certificate of Compliance for Redgate Lane septic work pending removal of yard‑waste pile near wetlands
Summary
A final inspection of the septic installation at 17 Redgate Lane found a large pile of yard waste within about 20 feet of wetland flags; the commission asked the owner to remove the material and said it will revisit the Certificate of Compliance after verification.
The Conservation Commission reviewed a request for a Certificate of Compliance for a septic system installed at 17 Redgate Lane. The agent and a commissioner inspected the property and found the septic installation in place and no obvious erosion issues, but the agent reported a substantial pile of brush and grass clippings within about 20 feet of wetland flags 4 and 5.
Commissioners said past practice requires removal of yard waste from wetland buffer areas before issuing a certificate. The commission asked staff to notify the owner, Leah Ammon, and request removal of the debris; the matter will be placed on the July 10 agenda for a final COC vote after confirmation of removal.
The commission noted other small yard changes over 17 years of occupancy that do not preclude a COC but emphasized that the pile within the buffer must be removed before the certificate can be issued.
