The Mason Planning Board's May 2 site walk regarding the Onyx Corp. excavation plan revealed two key things residents need to watch: potential regulatory waivers and significant environmental impacts for neighbors. #MeetingWatch #MasonNH

First: The Board indicated they would consider waiving the 3-acre maximum limit for project phases if Onyx Corp. provides enough justification. This means the scale of excavation could grow beyond the current standard limits.

Second: The project involves heavy terrain removal and road grading. While Onyx Corp. suggested paving the access road to help, concerns remain about dust, noise, and the proximity of the work to neighboring wells and septic systems.

As this application moves forward, residents should ask: What counts as 'sufficient justification' for a waiver, and what specific protections are in place for the neighbors' water and utilities? https://meetingwatch.org/nh/mason/planning-board/2026-05-02/

Longer-form draft.
At the May 2 Planning Board site walk, officials reviewed Onyx Corp.’s phased excavation plan, which includes significant terrain removal and road grading near the Campbell Mill Rd. and Brookline Rd. intersection. Two specific points from the meeting warrant community attention. First, Board member Chris Jones noted that the Board is willing to consider waivers for the 3-acre maximum limit per project phase, provided Onyx Corp. gives "sufficient justification." This indicates the Board may be open to allowing larger-scale construction phases than current regulations typically permit. Second, the scale of the excavation has raised direct questions regarding environmental mitigation. While Onyx Corp. representatives expressed a willingness to pave the secondary access road to reduce impacts, the Board and residents discussed ongoing concerns regarding dust, noise, and the potential risk to neighboring well and septic systems (specifically mentioning the proximity to abutter Dillon Conner's property). As this project progresses, residents should stay informed on whether these waivers are sought and what specific, enforceable protections will be required to safeguard local infrastructure and neighbors' water supplies. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/mason/planning-board/2026-05-02/ #MeetingWatch #MasonNH
