Protecting Open Spaces in Arlington
The Arlington Land Trust, Inc. has as its mission the permanent
protection of open spaces for the benefit of our community’s quality of
life, environmental health, and all our citizens.
- Mugar Update
The Land Trust’s legal team filed an appeal of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Superseding Order of Conditions approving the Thorndike Place project last April. Further information and testimonies from our hydrology and engineering consultants have been submitted recently to DEP’s Office of Appeals and Dispute Resolution (OADR). Our consultants have testified that the Thorndike Place project does not comply with DEP Stormwater Standards 2 and 3, and that there are critical errors in the design of the project’s stormwater system.
The next step is for the project proponent to file their response by October 30th. Then DEP is to respond by November 16th. We appreciate your continued support of the Land Trust’s advocacy on this project, and we will provide further updates as more information becomes available.
