There seem to be surveyor's flags and people coming and going near my property. How do I find out what's happening?

The first steps in developing property are often flagging wetlands, and/or seeing if the ground will perk for a septic system. If you see people with survey instruments or other equipment that can also indicate a development is underway. This could be the owner, or the owner could allow a developer to submit a plan on the property. Information is often available from the Conservation Commission or Board of Health.
