WETLANDS BOARD
Updated: September 24, 2009
The Middlesex County Wetlands Board reviews requests for permits for the use, alteration or development of tidal wetlands, and enforces the regulation of the Middlesex County Wetlands Ordinance. The Board's jurisdiction concerns non-vegetated tidal wetlands between mean low water and mean high water, and vegetated tidal wetlands from mean low water to an elevation one and one-half times the mean tide range. Public notices of Wetlands Board public hearings are displayed as classified legal advertisements in the Southside Sentinel prior to the public hearing date.
For additional information on tidal wetlands or the Wetlands Board, please consult our Tidal Wetlands Handbook or contact John Halpin, Planner/E&S Program Administrator.
