What is the Wetland Protection Act ?

The Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act is Massachusetts General Law Chapter 131 Section 40. This law requires that anyone within 100 feet of a wetland resource area or within 200 feet of a perennial stream MUST come forward to the local Conservation Commission for a public hearing or meeting to condition work within those areas. Local building permits DO NOT allow you to work within these areas. Only the Conservation Commission or DEP can allow work within these areas.

The Leominster Conservation Commission is an appointed body dedicated to the protection of the City of Leominster’s natural resources.
