The emergency regulation gives Nantucket time to determine how to handle increased yard waste deliveries and concerns about regulatory compliance and costs. The Board also discussed possible impacts of septic-system regulation changes on affordable housing but took no final action, planning to review a potential letter on January 14. Separately, 64 rental units were added to the subsidized housing inventory, bringing Nantucket to 8% toward the 10% requirement and extending safe harbor through December 10, 2027.
