Thursday January 3, 2013 Wetlands Protection Committee Meeting
On January 3, 2013 the Wetlands Protection Committee approved Wellesley Country Club's Request for Change to the Order of Conditions, MassDEP#324-647: Replace GrassPave System
with natural vegetation in the Riverfront Area and the Buffer Zone.
From the Request:
- The proposed construction would include the installation of an 8" crushed stone base on top of which 4" of loam would be spread. A New England Wildflower seed mix will be spread in keeping with the rest of the restoration area.
This change also eliminates the need for an asphalt apron at the site on Brookside Road.

#324-647
