The updated regulations clarify and revise several sections of Andover’s wetland rules; changes to the underlying bylaw would require Town Meeting approval. Approved projects include a replacement deck 47 feet from a wetland, a three-year Japanese knotweed treatment plan stopping at the stream’s mean annual high water mark, and stormwater-related work subject to additional test pits and a stormwater pollution prevention plan. The commission found proposed changes at 133 Salem Street insignificant under the Wetlands Protection Act, allowing the project to proceed with existing wetland protections.
