Summary
Commission members told property owners excavation and ground disturbance at 103R River Rd. proceeded without an Order of Conditions; acting chair Greg Hochmuth and Conservation Agent Jay Smith will meet the owners on site to review stabilization and steps to resume work lawfully.
At its Oct. 27 meeting, the Merrimac Conservation Commission discussed a reported violation at 103R River Rd., where excavation and ground disturbance occurred without an Order of Conditions or prior commission approval.
A commission member explained that the work proceeded without the required permit or approval; owners Jake Wallace and Ms. Wallace attended the meeting and had installed some erosion control measures. Acting Chair Greg Hochmuth and Conservation Agent Jay Smith agreed to meet the owners at the site to review stabilization measures and explain what will be required for the work to proceed in compliance with commission rules. The minutes record agreement to a site visit but do not include a subsequent enforcement vote or timetable for remediation.
The commission gave no formal enforcement motion on the record at the meeting; next steps are the planned site visit and any follow-up action that may be recommended after inspection.
