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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. The Order of Conditions must be recorded at the Registry of Deeds with proof of recording submitted to the Conservation Office.
  4. A pre-construction meeting must be scheduled.

If you have any questions about starting work, please call the Conservation Office at 781-545-8721.
