In Massachusetts, any activity in or near wetlands requires review by local Conservation Commissions. These regulatory boards operate under the Wetlands Protection Act and local wetlands bylaws. There are several levels of permitting, depending on your site and type of proposed activity.
Anne Sanow and Gordon Peabody use surveyor’s site plan to locate and stake a property owner’s preferred home site.

Careful plan review and responsible research are critical components of pre-construction planning.
Accurate resource area delineation is critical to successful projects.
