Inland Wetlands Commission

All activities in wetlands and watercourses, or within 100 feet of wetlands and watercourses, are regulated. This means all property owners need a permit from the IWC before starting any work in these areas. Regulated activities include, but are not limited to, cutting trees or clearing the understory, grubbing, grading, paving, excavation, filling, depositing or removing of material, discharging stormwater, and all septic work within 100 feet of a wetlands or watercourse requires an Inland Wetlands permit. Please Note: Issuance of a permit from the Health Department does not release a property owner from his responsibility to obtain the required Inland Wetlands permit.

  • The Enforcement Office could be out in the field for site inspections.  We recommend calling to check availability before stopping in to talk with the WEO. All Forms can be found on the online permitting system
  • Applications must be complete and uploaded to the online permitting system no later than 7 calendar days before the next regularly scheduled meeting to allow sufficient time for administrative, public, and commissioner review.  Applicants will be required to download PDFs of supporting documentation to their application as well as provide hard copies for the commissioners for review purposes. Complete applications submitted online later than the specified deadline for that meeting may be added to the agenda at the discretion of the IWC.  Consideration of late applications will await preliminary review by the administrative staff as time permits.
  • The Commission Members are Appointed Officials with 3-year terms.
