Description of
Services
Back to Top
|
The Waltham Conservation Commission is an appointed board of 7 local residents whose
primary charter is to protect the city’s natural resources in a regulatory and
advisory manner. The Commission is responsible for administering the Massachusetts Wetland
Protection Act (Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 131, section 40). All projects in the
city that are within 100 feet of wetlands (marshes, wet meadows, bogs,
intermittent streams, vernal
pools, etc.) or 200 feet from rivers and perennial streams must come before the Commission for formal
review. The Commission is also concerned with environmental planning, accepting gifts of land
and money for conservation purposes, acquiring grant money for town acquisition of open
space and advising other town boards on environmental concerns. Of special interest to the
Waltham Commission are the Charles River, Cambridge Reservoir, and Hardy Pond, as well as other
major wetlands throughout the city. The Commission also maintains jurisdiction over the
Storer Conservation Land.
