Permit Determination

Permit Requirements

You may need a State Wetlands Permit, a State Shoreland Permit and/or a Town Special Permit for your project if:

• If there is standing water at any time of the year within 50 feet of your project
• If your project entails crossing a stream or wet area
• If your property abuts a salt mash, pond, stream or mucky area
