Uxbridge conservation commission approves two certificates of compliance; 134 South Main found not subject to wetlands regulations

The Town of Uxbridge Conservation Commission on June 16 approved two certificates of compliance and issued a negative RDA determination while handling several administrative continuances.

The commission approved a certificate of compliance for the Gilboa site (DEP 3121167) after hearing from Todd Morey, principal at Beals Associates, who described completed basin upgrades, ongoing SWCA monitoring and robust vegetation growth. "This has been one of the more fair commissions that I've been in front of," Morey said, thanking the board for its process.

Separately, the commission approved a certificate of compliance for 135 East Street (DEP 312829) following a review by the applicant’s engineer and on‑site stabilization checks. The applicant was advised to confirm the as‑built filing with the office; staff said the certificate will be issued once the required as‑built form is received and recorded.

On a related procedural item, commissioners considered a request for determination of applicability for 134 South Main. The applicant described a small shed and limited ground disturbance; commissioners required straw wattles behind the building to prevent erosion and agreed to place a condition that the erosion controls remain for the duration of construction. The commission moved and approved a negative determination of applicability with those conditions.

The agenda also recorded continuances for two items: 404 Blackstone Street (a BESS matter) and Crown Shield Avenue, both continued to the July 7 meeting at the applicants’ request.

The meeting closed with routine public‑comment follow up and administrative items; the commission adjourned after the scheduled business.
