My project was approved at the Conservation Commission's public hearing last night, when can I start work?
If you filed a Request for Determination, you must wait until you receive your Determination of Applicability in the mail and a ten (10)-business day appeal period has lapsed before you can begin work.
If you filed a Notice of Intent, four things must happen before you can begin work:
- You must wait until you receive your Order of Conditions either by certified mail or hand delivery. Staff needs copies of all final requested and approved documentation as well as a DEP file number issued by the State before release of the Order.
- Your ten (10)-business day appeal period must have lapsed without an appeal (10 business days from the date of issuance of the Order of Conditions).
- The Order of Conditions must be recorded at the Registry of Deeds with proof of recording submitted to the Conservation Office.
- A pre-construction meeting must be scheduled.
If you have any questions about starting work, please call the Conservation Office at 781-545-8721.
