NRC has double standard on wetlands

Our nearby neighbors put a few yards of rock down in a wetland so they could more easily cross a muddy area. The result?

Efforts to prod Natural Resources Director Delia Kaye into taking action for 15,000 cubic yards of dirt placed in a wetland were characterized by one Acton resident as “bullying” in a January 19 article about the dirt piles at the rotary.

Our nearby neighbors on Barnes Hill Road put a few yards of rock down in a wetland so they could more easily cross a muddy area. The result? An aggressive enforcement action.

We agree with Keith Hannon and Miguel Echavarri — the NRC has a double standard.
