Bolton Conservation Commission Public Meeting
The meeting centered on a public hearing regarding a request for an amended order of conditions for a project at 12 Green Road. The primary discussion involved the proposal to modify a previously approved natural grass baseball field to synthetic turf, including the benefits of the change such as drainage improvements and the installation of new LED lighting designed to reduce spillover. The commission members raised questions regarding stormwater management, the potential for microplastics or PFAS in the environment, and the need for a site visit by the conservation agent. The commission agreed to continue the hearing to the next meeting to allow for the completion of a site visit and the receipt of further agent input.
