Longer-form draft.
At the February 25 Conservation Commission meeting, the board moved forward with a significant recommendation for the Eversource Energy project. The Commission voted to recommend that the Planning Board grant a conditional use permit and relief from buffer requirements for the replacement of 14 wooden electrical transmission structures with weathered steel poles on Roberts Road. This project will involve temporary impacts to wetlands through the use of timber matting and the creation of construction work pads. During the discussion, it was noted that because the project schedule prevents following standard seasonal work restrictions, the commission has negotiated with NH Fish and Game to ensure a qualified wildlife biologist is present during summer construction. This is a key detail for residents concerned about local wildlife and wetland health. Additionally, the board provided updates on the Havemeyer Falls dam removal project, which is scheduled to begin in spring 2027. Addressing concerns regarding water levels and potential flooding, board members stated that the removal would not impact river flow or adjacent properties. The Commission is also seeking clarification from the state regarding a forestry statutory permit on Tax Map 5, Lot 50, to ensure no unauthorized tree cutting occurs. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/goffstown/conservation-commission/2026-02-25/ #MeetingWatch #GoffstownNH
