Needham conservation panel issues certificate of compliance for 26 George Agate Road
Summary
The Needham Conservation Commission voted to issue a Certificate of Compliance for work at 26 George Agate Road after approving a deviation from the approved infiltration system to connect to the town stormwater system.
On May 22, 2025, the Needham Conservation Commission voted by roll call to issue a Certificate of Compliance for work completed at 26 George Agate Road (DEP file 234-820).
The project involved an addition to a garage, driveway expansion and two new decks. The applicant initially planned to install a Coltec infiltration system, but installers found groundwater was too high. The town engineering department authorized a deviation allowing the project to tie into the town stormwater system; the engineer signed off on the work and staff reported no outstanding issues.
Commission Chair Dave Harrer asked for the motion to issue the certificate; the motion was seconded and passed on a roll call vote. Commissioner Fred (last name not specified in the transcript) voted “Aye,” Commissioner Reid voted “Aye,” and Commissioner Elena voted “Aye.” The chair confirmed the motion carried.
The commission’s staff said the town engineering department granted the necessary permission for the deviation and that the engineer’s certification accompanied the application. No further enforcement or follow-up tasks were recorded in the meeting minutes.
The action closes the file before the commission unless new information arises or DEP raises further issues.
