Commission seeks update after property owner fails to retain an environmental professional for 549 West Bridal
Summary
The commission reported the property owner for 549 West Bridal had not retained a licensed site professional and requested an update at the May 12 meeting to ensure remediation steps proceed.
The Gardner Conservation Commission heard an update on 549 West Bridal where a remediation-related contractor had not been retained. Staff said the individual expected to be retained as a licensed site professional (LSP) was not engaged by the property owner; commission staff will reach out to the contractor and the property's emergency-response team to coordinate remediation work and paperwork for contamination affecting neighboring wetlands.
Commissioners urged a status update at the May 12 meeting and asked staff to seek evidence that an LSP has been retained so the town can verify the schedule for remediation work. The commission noted ongoing deadlines and asked staff to press for a firm timeline; commissioners said they wanted the matter advanced by the next meeting or at least to receive a clear plan for hiring an LSP.
