Commission approves new fence location at landfill solar field after site inspection
Summary
The Town of Hampden Conservation Commission approved a revised fence location at the town landfill/solar field after members inspected the site and determined it would cause more disturbance to move the fence back to the original plan.
The Town of Hampden Conservation Commission voted to approve a revised fence location at the town landfill solar field during a special meeting after members said a site inspection found relocating the fence would cause greater disturbance.
Steve McDonough, project representative for Amaresco, asked the commission to confirm that the new fence location observed in the field was acceptable and to have that outcome reflected in the minutes. After the members confirmed they had inspected the site, a conservation commission member moved to approve the new fence location "at the solar field at the town dump, our landfill, transfer station," another member seconded the motion, and the commission voted in favor.
A commission member suggested including the inspection and approval in the minutes to help Amaresco address other town requirements; McDonough said he would follow up by email. The transcript does not record further conditions attached to the fence approval or a separate formal permitting action beyond the commission vote to accept the new location.
The commission did not record any dissent about the relocation in the transcript and noted the decision was based on site observations that moving the fence again would cause more disturbance than leaving it in the field-inspected position.
