Planning Board flags Ambrose Earth Excavation for noise and permitting follow-up
Summary
The Tamworth Planning Board discussed a Conservation Commission concern about blasting and noise tied to Ambrose Earth Excavation, noted a December letter and a state alteration-of-terrain permit, and agreed to follow up with a second letter and coordinate with the Selectboard representative if no response is received.
The Tamworth Planning Board discussed concerns raised by the Conservation Commission about blasting and noise connected to Ambrose Earth Excavation and agreed to pursue follow-up steps if the company does not respond.
Why it matters: The Conservation Commission told the board that Tamworth's blasting limits are lower than State limits and had previously sent Ambrose a letter in December; the board received an alteration-of-terrain permit from the State that suggested Ambrose may also need an Earth Excavation permit.
Board response: Anna Paddock said the Planning Board could send another letter and would coordinate with Selectboard Representative Lianne Prentice if there is no response. Anna also said she will check in with Larry Nickerson about noise concerns and next steps.
Next steps: The board will follow up on the permitting question and enforcement options at the March 18 work session if no satisfactory response is received from Ambrose Earth Excavation.
