# Milford Inland and Wetland Agency 10/07/026

The Milford Inland Wetlands Agency meeting on October 7, 2026, reviewed two applications involving property work and municipal infrastructure. For application IW26074 at 215 Brewster Road, the agency discussed a proposed two-car garage, minor gravel-driveway widening, and stormwater management near wetlands. Commissioners raised questions about tree impacts and suggested considering a rain garden as an alternative to a trench drain. The agency received the application but took no action pending the statutory waiting period; it expects to revisit the matter at its October 21 meeting. A proposed City of Milford Department of Public Works sewer replacement on West Mayflower Place was also discussed. The project would replace sewer pipe and manholes, with one segment to be lined and other sections replaced through excavation, affecting wetlands. Commissioners requested follow-up on whether more of the line could be lined, the scope of wetland disturbance and restoration, invasive-species monitoring, construction access, and spill and equipment safeguards. The item was tabled pending answers from the applicant; no contract award or procurement vote was reported.

In the staff report, the agency was told that a vendor had been approved for the city’s multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan, with work expected to begin shortly and the plan due the following October; no vendor name or contract amount was provided. Staff also discussed registering commissioners for training and requesting a check to secure an early-bird discount, without specifying an amount. The minutes from September 2 were approved, and the meeting adjourned.
