Are you working near a pond, wetland, stream, salt marsh, or the ocean?
Then you need to determine which permits are needed before any work begins
If your property abuts a salt mash, pond, stream or mucky area; if there is standing water at any time of the year within 50 feet of your project; and/or if your project entails crossing a stream or wet area, you may need a State Wetlands Permit, a State Shoreland Permit and/or a Town Special Permit for your project.
The following flow charts are helpful guides for determining which permits are necessary for your project. Every project scope and location is different.
