Key outcomes:

1) 1 Bailey’s Way — negative determination with conditions
The commission issued a Negative 3 Determination for a proposed septic repair at 1 Bailey’s Way after reviewing a plan from Bob Forbes of Zena Consulting Engineers. The Board of Health had already approved the plan. The commission conditioned the Negative 3 determination on extending the siltation (hay bale) barrier up to the property line and on notifying the conservation agent for an inspection before work begins.

2) Continuances scheduled
- 3 Mona Street was continued to March 11, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. at the police station.
- 74 Lakeside was continued to March 25, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. at the police station.
- 160 Bedford Street was continued to March 25, 2025 (see separate article for details).

3) 1 Elliot Way — certificate of compliance denied without prejudice
With no applicant representative present, the commission voted to deny the requested certificate of compliance for 1 Elliot Way without prejudice and advised the applicant to reapply with the missing materials (as-built/asphalt plan and other outstanding items). The denial allows the applicant to return when ready with a new request.

4) Meeting minutes and routine business
The commission approved meeting minutes for Dec. 10, 2024.

5) Recommendation for appointment
The commission voted to recommend that the Board of Selectmen appoint Bill (surname discussed as O'Fanos/O'Fanos in the record) to the Conservation Commission; staff will forward a letter of interest to the selectmen and the town clerk will follow up about swearing-in and next steps.

6) 9 Cross Street deed restriction update
Commission staff reported that the deed restriction paperwork was forwarded to Town Council; the commission is awaiting its return before executing signatures.

7) Adjournment
The commission adjourned at the close of the agenda.

Why it matters: The determinations, continuances and the denial without prejudice set the timeline for applicants and establish specific preconditions (inspections, peer review, documentation) the commission expects before granting approvals or certificates of compliance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lakeville Conservation Commission, 2-25-25","oneSentenceSummary","The commission issued a negative determination with conditions for a septic repair at 1 Bailey's Way, continued several hearings, denied a certificate of compliance for 1 Elliot Way without prejudice, approved meeting minutes, recommended a candidate for appointment, and received updates on a deed restriction at 9 Cross Street.","taxTitle","Town of Lakeville, Plymouth County, Massachusetts","taxId",58187,"location","Massachusetts","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6306411,"Conservation commission approves order of conditions for Merrick project on Rhode Island Road with neighbor protections",161,1245000,1406000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2437969-57f7b738a77e4a4d3ac88cae8e163d99&start=1245&end=1406","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2437969-57f7b738a77e4a4d3ac88cae8e163d99/thumbnail_1245000.jpg","/articles/6306411/Massachusetts/Conservation-commission-approves-order-of-conditions-for-Merrick-project-on-Rhode-Island-Road-with-neighbor-protections","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6306411-300b7eb9559853c9339974ef691186b1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770947114&Signature=C9GToP4uoPfQACLhiml7iY1viDLzVMt169dvFmquWwG9-gdr91cwI6Dxdiaa6SMPZHS1~OBErj60IljLqwGHj6BFXQ9icvr0e3hf3MikPdEuphvp8aoH0sb9PI1Bvr8hfF-PY5FqhObyoziVvvGhuriX51GuBz1FXGBuHe6cKq6kJLfzfaLpEsZwYqrDGPhFEIjPC27tZkLwcgXQ1hfbg6JZIw9VZUQhX-~3S7NDdRXFofX5Iz1A6oZvY35ReT5CNV43mxPRwsWctDyqBz73xG2SqHE3wj0c2x-5yIrLt36deRTdvW7FK8DdVVsgd8VmBs9dwJjBbkxCu8cerj7Zhw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lakeville Conservation Commission voted Feb. 25 to approve an order of conditions for SE 192932 (Merrick’s, Route 79 / Myrick Street and Rhode Island Road), adding language intended to protect an adjacent neighbor identified as Donna at 27 Rhode Island Road.

Commission members said the order includes an explicit requirement that best management practices be used to prevent flooding to adjacent properties, wetlands, or the watershed and that the applicant be fully responsible for correcting any damage resulting from improper construction or engineering. A motion to approve and issue the order of conditions carried by voice vote.

Why it matters: The added language places responsibility on the applicant to correct any project-related flooding and authorizes the commission to approve emergency corrective measures, giving the adjacent landowner an explicit safeguard in the permit documents.

What the order says and how commissioners framed it
The commission pointed to Attachment B3 in the draft order, which reads (as read into the record) that recommended best management practices must be used to prevent any flooding to adjacent properties, wetlands or watershed and that the applicant shall be fully responsible for any damage due to improper construction or poor engineering, with corrective measures subject to commission approval on an emergency basis if needed. Commissioner John LeBlanc moved to approve and issue the order; the motion was seconded and the commission voted in favor.

Ending
The chair said the order would be signed that night; staff will circulate the finalized document and follow the commission’s established process for issuance and recording.","The Lakeville Conservation Commission approved an order of conditions (SE 192932) for Merrick's project near Route 79 / Myrick Street and Rhode Island Road, including a clause requiring best management practices and applicant responsibility for any flooding or damage to adjacent properties.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6306416,"Conservation commission delays 160 Bedford Street stormwater plan pending independent peer review",832,297000,1129000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2437969-57f7b738a77e4a4d3ac88cae8e163d99&start=297&end=1129","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2437969-57f7b738a77e4a4d3ac88cae8e163d99/thumbnail_297000.jpg","/articles/6306416/Massachusetts/Conservation-commission-delays-160-Bedford-Street-stormwater-plan-pending-independent-peer-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6306416-6bbb70d5b1a0d0e7a113d91e05d73ab5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770947114&Signature=SNw-eivf2DJWngpZzL-l5a9NMeeYxrd5D~7d6xi4d3cftMP-3nLFdW2Vgxn5ZewnpEyIOoCEx-zL7EZl9-IZg9difvjEpZ3aKFLEpQh~7n3bGacaZpmD9W-o5OTQPJG35BiWFWux2iHFh5RbcPybGN45x0MOgd1eTsn8YzZFv~I19Z5cRLDrGlbHV96VN33trKIlOKGXAtELBFe3r5maRFuTl0jIwzIzakogO3ASeYgMQjKPvCYFkbVYbmCDfqckuafsWGIBXXpkz4HywKa3gmGi9d1ICR7Yms2ORZVl1v-Aw8l43FZGY3itLsxcEKirmIVPVJsZ2tzynAeaw7nNRA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lakeville Conservation Commission on Feb. 25 continued review of a stormwater plan for 160 Bedford Street and directed staff to secure an independent peer reviewer before taking further action.

The applicant, Rick Treon of Prime Engineering, described a proposed detention basin and a two-stage “pig” filter (filter socks) designed to remove heavy metals from runoff before it reaches an off-site wetland. Treon said the project ‘‘proposing a really sizable detention basin’’ and that, with the filtration, ‘‘this will be effective in removing the majority of metals.’’ The commission voted to continue the item to the March 25, 2025 meeting at 6:30 p.m. at the police station so it can select a peer reviewer and obtain a scope and cost estimate.

Why it matters: The proposed detention and treatment system sits uphill of a wetland that the commission determined is connected to downstream resources. Commissioners said they want an independent technical review of hydraulic calculations, pollutant removal claims, and the proposed operation and maintenance procedures before approving work that could affect wetlands and neighbors.

Details of the proposal and commission concerns
Rick Treon said the detention basin will route flow through a small orifice and then through two filter socks in series that are intended to absorb metals. He explained how he plans to install concrete blocks above and below the sock to facilitate replacement: ‘‘it’s easy enough to lift the patio blocks off, replace the the filter sock, and then put the patio block back on,’’ Treon said. He also told the panel that filter replacement was expected annually and that the design leaves ‘‘plenty of hydraulic capacity.’’

Commission members asked whether the filter under patio blocks would still function as designed and whether manufacturers had been consulted. Treon acknowledged compression would reduce hydraulic capacity but said the longer sock length compensates for that. Commissioners also pressed for procedures and documentation for disposal of used filter media; Treon said used media would be sampled and disposed of according to lab results and applicable disposal rules and that heavily contaminated media could be sent to lined landfill or other licensed facilities.

Peer review and next steps
Conservation Agent Mark Minton summarized the commission’s attempt to line up peer reviewers: several firms were contacted (Ecosolutions, John Rockwell’s firm, others), but conflicts or staffing gaps prevented selection. He said the commission will continue the application so staff can identify and secure a reviewer closer to Lakeville, obtain a quote, and collect peer-review funds from the applicant. The commission’s chair moved to continue the item to March 25, 2025; the motion passed.

The commission also requested the applicant provide clear chain-of-custody and disposal procedures for used filter media and that the peer reviewer specifically evaluate hydraulic computations and the proposed treatment’s effectiveness.

Ending
At the March 25 meeting the panel expects to review peer-review proposals and a recommended reviewer, along with any revised plans or clarifications on maintenance and disposal procedures.","The Lakeville Conservation Commission continued review of a proposed detention basin and filtration system at 160 Bedford Street to its March 25 meeting while it arranges an independent peer review and clarifies filter maintenance and disposal procedures.","actionData","errors"]
