Conservation commission issues certificate of compliance for 141 Goodman’s Hill Road after remediation and plantings
Summary
After reviewing aerial photos and site work, town staff told the commission that the work required by a 2012 order of conditions (removal of trees for rooftop solar and extensive invasive-species removal) appears complete; the commission voted to issue the certificate of compliance for DEP file 3011088.
The Sudbury Conservation Commission voted to issue a certificate of compliance for 141 Goodman’s Hill Road (DEP file 3011088) after staff reported the required mitigation and invasive-species removal were completed following a 2012 order of conditions.
Laurie presented before-and-after aerial images showing that the large south-facing pine trees removed to accommodate rooftop solar had in the intervening years given way to forest regrowth and plantings consistent with the mitigation plan. Staff reported the homeowners removed approximately 39 trees for the solar installation in 2012 and documented the removal of more than 900 invasive plants during restoration. Laurie said the lawn area did not appear to have been expanded and that the site showed successful sapling and shrub regrowth, including blueberry shrub plantings as mitigation.
Commissioners moved, seconded and voted to issue the certificate of compliance, closing out the file for DEP 3011088. No additional conditions were imposed.
