Uxbridge Conservation Commission issues Certificate of Compliance for Quaker Highway parking-lot project

The Town of Uxbridge Conservation Commission voted Tuesday to issue a Certificate of Compliance for DEP file 3121176775, closing out a parking‑lot resurfacing project on Quaker Highway.

The Commission reviewed as‑built plans and site photographs presented by Emily, the Commission agent, and heard brief comments from Lance Anderson of Allen Engineering. Emily said the repaving, installation of a Cape Cod berm and localized riprap were completed as shown in the approved plan, and that the septic system replacement—reported as the primary driver for the work—was included in the submittal.

Lance Anderson attended the meeting to represent the applicant and confirmed the contractor installed drainage features intended to manage stormwater velocity toward Route 146. Commissioners asked whether the project included an operation and maintenance plan for riprap and catchment features; Emily said the O&M drawing was part of the record and that long‑term maintenance responsibility rests with the property owner.

After brief discussion, a commissioner moved to issue the Certificate of Compliance for DEP 3121176775; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote with no opposition. The agent said staff would finalize and provide the signed paperwork to the applicant and that the document should be sufficient for the utility and other agencies to proceed.

Next procedural steps identified by the Commission included filing the signed certificate with the town and ensuring the applicant has the as‑built for the utility and permitting needs.
