Conservation Commission, applicant clash over floodplain status at 10–50 Main St.
Summary
The Conservation Commission will conduct a site visit June 13 for 10–50 Main Street; the commission says the entire building is in the flood plain and will not accept the applicant’s 2022 RAMD report, while the applicant disputes some findings and sought pollutant testing during demolition.
Greg Wands, a member of the Ashland Open Space & Recreation Committee, reported that the Conservation Commission will do a site visit for 10–50 Main Street on June 13 and intends to inspect the building interior after prior access was denied because of flooding concerns.
Wands said the commission and the applicant disagree on several points. The commission maintains that the entire building is in the flood plain and has declined to accept the applicant's 2022 RAMD (Release Abatement Measures) remediation report; the applicant contests that assessment. Wands also said the applicant proposed conducting pollutant testing during demolition, which the commission did not approve.
The committee recorded the disagreement and the planned site visit; no committee action was taken on the matter at the June 9 meeting.
