FAQs

What is the difference between a Request for Determination form and a Notice of Intent form?

A Request for Determination is filed by an applicant in order to have the Conservation Commission verify the boundaries of a resource area; to verify the jurisdiction of the Conservation Commission or to obtain a determination as to whether or not a project will alter a resource area.

A Notice of Intent is filed in cases where it is anticipated that a project will alter a resource area or when additional measures must be applied by the Conservation Commission in order to minimize any adverse impact.

What is a resource area?

A resource area is designated as any bank, fresh water or coastal wetland, beach, dune, flat, marsh, meadow, vernal pool or flood zone.
