Planning and Zoning administrator: salt-use restrictions enforced in wellhead protection areas
Summary
Planning and Zoning Administrator Amanda told the Planning Board that enforcement efforts have focused on salt and deicing restrictions for properties in the Wellhead Protection Zone and Aquifer Conservation District; staff will check whether DPW sand stockpiles contain salt.
Amanda, the Planning and Zoning Administrator, told the Merrimack Planning Board on Jan. 6 that enforcement work has focused on salt and deicing restrictions for properties located in the Wellhead Protection Zone and Aquifer Conservation District.
"The main enforcement thing that's been going on is salt enforcement for properties that have salt restrictions," Amanda said, noting that staff now attach a statement to site plans for properties in those sensitive areas specifying that salt and certain deicing chemicals are not permitted.
She listed recent administrative approvals handled by staff: a minor site-alteration administrative approval for 7 Crow's Nest, a tenant change at a nail salon at 704 Milford Road, and an accessory dwelling unit approved on Wire Road.
A committee member asked whether sand stockpiled at the Department of Public Works (DPW) garage contains salt; Amanda said she did not know but would check with DPW staff (Leo) and report back to the board.
The report was presented for the board’s information; no formal action was taken.
