Appealable Actions

  • Determination of Applicability
  • Delineation of Wetlands Resource
  • Order of Conditions Issuance
  • Order of Conditions Denial

A request for a Superseding Order or Determination shall be made in writing and shall be sent by certified mail or hand delivered within ten days of issuance of the Order, Determination or Notification which is being appealed. Appeals to the Department of Environmental Protections must be accompanied by the MADEP Request for Department Action Transmittal Form and the appropriate fee. When the basis of such request is the conservation commission's failure to act, the request may be made at any time up to 70 days after the expiration of the period within which the conservation commission was to have acted. Said request shall state clearly and concisely the objections to the Order, Determination or Notification which is being appealed and, in the case of a request for a Superseding Order, how the Order of Conditions or Notification of Non-Significance issued by the conservation commission is inconsistent with 310 CMR 10.00 and does not contribute to the protection of the interests identified in M.G.L. c. 131, § 40.
