What is happening with the Onyx Gravel Operation? At the May 13 Conservation Commission meeting, the board discussed the potential environmental and legal impacts of this application on our local wetlands. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #MasonNH
The Commission is currently deciding how much input to provide to the Planning Board. They are considering requesting a public hearing and seeking legal assistance from the NHACC to ensure our community's interests are protected.
Currently, Commission member Chris Bader is researching environmental consultants to evaluate the 'Alteration of Timbers' application and local wetland status. We need expert evidence to guide these decisions. Stay tuned for updates. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/mason/conservation-commission/2026-05-13/
During the Mason Conservation Commission meeting on May 13, two significant environmental issues were addressed that residents should have on their radar. First, the Commission discussed the Onyx Gravel Operation. Given the potential impact on local wetlands, the board is moving toward a more formal review process. Member Chris Bader has been tasked with researching environmental consultants to evaluate the 'Alteration of Timbers' (AoT) application and determine the status of local prime wetlands. The Commission is also considering requesting a public hearing and seeking legal guidance from the NHACC to ensure their input to the Planning Board is backed by expert evidence. Second, the Commission addressed a report from a Mason resident alleging that illegal wetland filling may have occurred on lot K-49-1. The Commission has noted this report and committed to a formal investigation to ensure environmental regulations are being strictly followed. As these investigations move forward, we will continue to monitor the Commission's actions and ensure that local environmental protections are upheld through transparent, evidence-based decision-making. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/mason/conservation-commission/2026-05-13/ #MeetingWatch #MasonNH
