/Documents/Nov 11, 2005 Wetlands Plan.JPGThe Abington Conservation Commission held a public hearing on the ANRAD filing on January 10, 2006. The hearing was closed on the same evening "PENDING RECEIPT OF A DEP FILE #". (The hearing wasn't officially closed until the DEP file # was received and there is NO record of when that occurred in public records available)
The Abington Conservation Commission NEVER employed the services of a professional wetlands scientist to assist in delineating the 32 acres of old farm land. This appointed regulatory body delineated this parcel in the winter time when vegetation is dormant and did so with the knowledge that the vegetation had been mowed in 2004. This delineation was performed without the benefit of using soils or hydrology as wetlands indicator factors.
