Conservation Commission · Meeting of September 28, 2026
West Newbury Conservation Commission approved two winter construction projects with detailed erosion controls. The panel voted unanimously on September 28 to allow demolition and rebuilding at 1 Old Wharf Road and three-lot construction at 0 Middle Street to proceed past the October 15 winter work ban, with earth work required to finish by November's end and stockpiled materials stabilized. The 0 Middle Street project required weekly stormwater reports to the Conservation Office, driven by Commission concern about exposed ground on steeply sloped terrain and reference to past erosion problems at 152-154 Middle Street and 2 Kimball Road.
