Commission approves Bolton Land Trust's erosion-control work at 0 West Road
Summary
The commission approved a jurisdictional ruling allowing the Bolton Land Trust to stabilize a drainage inlet at 0 West Road using existing materials and a small bobcat; commissioners emphasized prompt stabilization and project dimensions.
Mary Terhune-Bolton presented the Bolton Land Trust's application for erosion-control work at 0 West Road during the commission's June 23 meeting, describing the area of concern and a proposed solution using existing materials.
Member James Loersch asked about equipment; the applicant said a small bobcat would be used to move rocks. Commissioners discussed the dimensions of the repair and stressed the need to stabilize the inlet quickly to protect nearby drainage and wetlands. After discussion, Loersch moved to approve the work as a jurisdictional ruling as-of-right and Diane DeNunzio seconded; the motion carried unanimously, 3–0–0.
The commission's approval allows the Bolton Land Trust to proceed with stabilization work subject to the project scope presented and any permit conditions enforced by the wetlands agent. Agent Barroso will follow up with the applicant and inspect the site as necessary.
