Request for Wetlands Control Enforcement

  1. Request for Wetlands Control Enforcement

    The Town of Longmeadow’s Conservation Commission is charged with protecting Longmeadow’s wetland resource areas in accordance with the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and the Longmeadow Wetlands Control Bylaw (Longmeadow General Bylaws, Article II, Chapter 700) and supporting regulations. Per state law, the Conservation Commission or its agent may not enter private property to conduct inspections unless: (1) the property owner consents to the entry; (2) an administrative search warrant is issued by a court; or (3) there is an emergency situation requiring immediate entry. The property owner is ultimately responsible for bringing property into compliance with State and Town law.
