Agency approves Military Highway and Grove Avenue water‑main replacement with conditions
Summary
The Inland Wetlands Agency approved application 26‑0003 for water‑main replacement on Military Highway and Grove Avenue with four standard conditions and specific modifications restricting work within upland review areas and requiring a preconstruction meeting.
Staff presented revisions to plans for the Military Highway and Grove Avenue water‑main replacement (agency file Inland Wetlands Agency 26‑0003) and recommended approval with conditions.
A committee member moved to approve the replacement with four standard conditions and specified modifications: no clearing, alteration or dumping outside approved plan limits; separate wetland approval and building permits for any work outside specified roadways; immediate contractor notification to the town if culvert or conveyance structures are found compromised during replacement; and a required preconstruction meeting with the town prior to any work.
The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Staff reiterated the requirement to adhere to the erosion and sediment control plan to protect wetlands during construction, and emphasized that connections within upland review areas that are not on the approved plans will require separate approvals.
Next steps: Staff will schedule the required preconstruction meeting and ensure contractors and the town’s inspection staff are informed of the conditions and the obligation to notify the town immediately should infrastructure integrity issues arise during construction.
