# North Andover (MA) Conservation Commission - September 22, 2026

The North Andover Conservation Commission held a meeting on September 22, 2026, focusing primarily on environmental compliance and project approvals within wetland buffer zones. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a certificate of compliance for a property at 303 Chestnut Street and the approval of a small project involving shed construction at Hpatica Drive, with conditions to protect wetlands. The commission also reviewed and continued several requests related to septic system upgrades, deck reconstruction, and enforcement orders concerning environmental violations. Additionally, the commission approved modifications to the North Andover Wetlands Protection Act regulations, including formatting revisions and updates to buffer zone definitions. A subcommittee was formed to revisit and potentially improve the town's bonding policy for conservation-related projects, aiming for more efficient and effective performance bond management. The meeting also addressed upcoming bow hunting seasons and related permitting processes. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the formation of the bonding subcommittee may influence future procurement policies.
