MassDEP issues superseding OOC for proposed sewer pipe; town meeting vote leaves project status uncertain
Summary
Staff reported that MassDEP issued a superseding Order of Conditions for a proposed sewer pipe project (file 3040389) but a Town Meeting article to authorize use of town property failed, leaving the developer's next steps unclear.
At the May 19 meeting the commission’s agent reported that MassDEP issued a superseding Order of Conditions on April 17, 2025 for a proposed sewer pipe project (file number 3040389). However, the agent said Article 7 at Templeton’s annual Town Meeting on May 15 — an article to assess a possible easement on town property needed for the project — failed, so the project’s progress is uncertain pending the developer’s next steps.
The agent said she had emailed the commission and would keep members updated as the situation evolves. The report did not include details of the easement language or proposed alignment; the agent said she was not sure how the developer will proceed now that the town vote did not approve the easement request.
No commission action was taken at the May 19 meeting; the report was entered as an agent update. The item remains a pending administrative matter for staff to monitor and report back to the commission.
