Bolton wetlands commission tables town‑center sewer plan, asks for alternative routes and soil‑scientist review
Summary
The Commission unanimously tabled IW‑25‑17, a proposal to build a subsurface sewage disposal system serving multiple Bolton Center Road addresses, and requested a mitigation plan plus a feasible alternative that includes a soil‑scientist recommendation.
At its Oct. 28 meeting, the Bolton Inland Wetlands Commission voted to table application IW‑25‑17, a plan to construct a town‑center subsurface sewage disposal system serving 206 (Bentley Library), 220 (police building), 222 (Town Hall) and 266 (Rose Farm) Bolton Center Road, citing concerns about wetland impacts and missing plan details.
Wetlands Agent Alyssa Barroso told commissioners there are wetlands behind the properties along the proposed route. Joseph Dillion described the proposed sewer route; Vice Chair James Loersch said he "does not like the project going through wetlands" and noted the plans did not show new lumen and electrical information. Commissioners asked the applicant to provide a mitigation plan and a feasible alternative that avoids or reduces impacts to wetlands and recommended review by a wetlands or soil scientist.
Loersch moved to table the application and to require submission of a proposed mitigation plan and a feasible alternative plan that includes a soil‑scientist recommendation; Member Diane DeNunzio seconded. The motion passed unanimously, 4‑0‑0.
The Commission’s action requires the applicant to return with more complete technical information, including any alternative routing that would avoid wetlands and a specialist’s assessment to support the proposed mitigation.
