Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The proposed beaver and muskrat protocol would clarify how the Board of Health and Conservation Commission handle emergency situations and water-leveling or dam-removal work. The Commission also allowed limited buffer-zone work under a revised plan, while several proposed homes and related site changes at Red Mill on the Charles remain under review. Utility work discussed by National Grid will still require a Request for Determination of Applicability, pending legal guidance.
