Wetland scientist presents ANRAD for Hartford Ave parcel; commission continues hearing to Aug. 12
Summary
Ecosystem Solutions wetland scientist Eliza Anger presented a revised delineation for a 14.1-acre Hartford Ave parcel and the commission voted to continue the abbreviated notice of resource area delineation hearing and schedule a site visit to confirm revised flagging.
Eliza Anger, a wetland scientist for Ecosystem Solutions, told the Bellingham Conservation Commission she "personally performed the wetland delineation" for the parcel identified on the agenda as 4062 Hartford Ave and described the property as a 14.1‑acre site near the Cumberland Farms in North Bellingham.
Anger said she flagged the site in March, submitted three flag series, and sent a revised memo and site plan the day of the meeting after the conservation agent, Hannah, proposed some changes. Commissioners asked for a field re-check of several flags; Anger agreed to coordinate a follow‑up site visit with the agent next week. The applicant was listed on the agenda as Luis Porto of Fence Today; the representative from Ecosystem Solutions appeared online to present the delineation and revisions.
Commissioners also discussed DEP file numbering and timing for the ANRAD review. The commission voted to continue the hearing to the August 12 meeting and to coordinate an on‑site visit before that meeting so staff can confirm the revised flag locations. No final order was issued; the continuation is to allow the agent and consultant to confirm revisions on the ground.
