Selectmen authorize 90-day restoration schedule and certified mailing in wetlands buffer enforcement case
Summary
After reviewing wetland-permit guidance from NHDES and multiple local violations, the Board voted unanimously to give Clayton Davis 90 days to submit a restoration plan and to send him a certified notice; NHDES had indicated a formal notification is required for the Yaegar culvert inquiry.
The Springfield Board of Selectmen reviewed several wetlands-related enforcement matters on April 27 and took a formal enforcement step in one case.
Town records show NHDES Wetlands Permitting Specialist Emmanuel Uwizeye reviewed information about a culvert installation on Pettengill Road and stated that a wetland permit (notification) is required and that the area "looks like the area you are refencing to is rich in Priority Resources Area (PRA)" and may be in floodplain, increasing the likelihood of wetland impact. Town staff reported they had not yet received follow-up from NHDES on mitigation status.
On the Davis violation at Brook Road (fill/dredge in wetlands), Erin Meding moved to update the restoration plan date to provide 90 days and to mail a certified return receipt to Clayton Davis; Don Hill seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. The Board also noted that Richard Timmons was contacted by NHDES and asked to refrain from further work pending their inspection; Patrick Cloutier's ADU case is the subject of a temporary hearing set for May 27 as he works toward compliance.
