Fall River Conservation Commission to Engage Third-Party Review for Shaw Street Wetlands Delineation.

During its recent meeting, the Fall River Conservation Commission decided to seek a third-party review for the wetlands delineation at One Shaw Street, an 8.7-acre property containing significant natural resources. The property, located on the eastern side of Mount Hope Bay, is currently occupied by a salt storage and transportation company, and a tugboat docking area. Concerns were raised about the compliance of the salt storage practices, particularly regarding their proximity to the docking area.

Additionally, the commission addressed a technical request concerning Innovation Way Lot 2. The property had been previously permitted as part of a larger industrial project, but with Lot 2 sold and devoid of wetlands or buffer zones, the commission approved a partial certificate of compliance to remove it from the original order of conditions. An amended order of conditions was also issued for the remaining lots.
