Mass DEP OKs Williamstown Habitat for Humanity Project

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The president of Northern Berkshire Habitat for Humanity this week expressed satisfaction after the state Department of Environmental Protection ruled on a proposed four-home subdivision off Summer Street.
 
"It's basically exactly what I expected," Keith Davis said of the Nov. 7 decision from the Massachusetts DEP's Western Regional Office in Springfield. "The only real difference is any time we have to make a change, we have to go to the state instead of the local [Conservation Commission].
 
"They were happy with our proposal. … Charlie LaBatt and Guntlow and Associates did a good job with all the issues with wetlands and stormwater management."
 
The state agency needed to weigh in after a Summer Street resident — one of several who were critical of the Habitat for Humanity plan — filed an appeal of the town Con Comm's decision to OK the project on land currently owned by the town's Affordable Housing Trust.
 
"[The DEP] didn't make any changes to the order of conditions [from the Con Comm]," Davis said on Wednesday. "The project meets all the requirements for the Wetlands Protection Act."
 
The only change is that now the DEP will be the one overseeing any changes to the current plan, Davis said.
 
"I honestly don't foresee any changes," he said.
