Commission to schedule site visit for Echo Valley Drive gas main RDA ahead of August hearing
Summary
An RDA for a new gas main (Echo Valley Drive reliability) was filed too late for the July meeting; the conservation commission will schedule the matter for the August agenda and conduct a site inspection (tentatively Monday the 20th at noon).
An RDA for a proposed new gas main intended to improve reliability in the Echo Valley Drive corridor was filed after the packet deadline and will be scheduled for the commission's August meeting. Commission members agreed to perform a site inspection beforehand so they can prepare a determination at the August hearing.
Greg noted the filing was submitted this week and that the work is planned along Wilbraham Road from the Wilbraham border up to Echo Valley, then down Kelly and Echo Valley, likely tying into existing mains in the area. Commissioners discussed logistics for a site visit; members tentatively agreed to meet at the end of Echo Valley at noon on Monday the 20th and to contact the primary on‑site representative in advance.
No determination or vote occurred at the July 15 meeting; the commission will inspect the corridor, collect field observations, and consider the RDA at the next scheduled hearing.
