Otis Conservation Commission issues -3 determination for Route 8 resurfacing project
Summary
The commission granted a -3 RDA determination for resurfacing and related work on Route 8 from mile marker 8.0 to 12.0, requiring the contractor to notify the commission where they will wash vehicles prior to the job.
An RDA submitted by Amer Raza on behalf of property owner Francisca Heming for resurfacing and related work on Route 8 between mile markers 8.0 and 12.0 was considered by the commission on April 21. Domenic Battista moved to grant a -3 determination; the motion included a special condition that the contractor inform the Commission in advance where vehicle washout/washing will occur. Commissioner Chris Chaffee seconded; the vote was unanimous.
The -3 determination indicates the work is subject to conditions rather than formal wetland permitting under the Wetlands Protection Act; the Commission’s condition is intended to limit sediment and pollutant discharge associated with equipment washing. The project specifics in the record list the 4.0-mile resurfacing corridor (mile 8.0–12.0) and the decision will be documented in the Commission file.
