How do I know if I need a wetlands permit?
Wetlands permits are required for all work within 100' of a wetland resource area and within 200' of all perennial streams. Wetlands are dynamic and their limits can change over time. As a result, the best course of action to determine whether your work is within a jurisdictional area is to contact the Conservation Commission.
