| On April 19, 2000 Berkshire Community
College filed a Notice
of Intent with the Pittsfield
Conservation Commission. The map submitted with the NOI was
the same L-1 that had been submitted with the
RDA.
No plans are submitted showing the
location of proposed activities relative to the boundaries
of each affected resource area. The endangered species
habitat, certified vernal pool, floodplain, intermittent
stream, pond, and bordering vegetated wetland delineations
are not disclosed (all resource areas are marked "N/A"). No
DEP BVW field data forms are submitted. And again the map
submitted with the NOI (labeled L-1) did not include the
certified vernal pool, although the pool's position is
within the scope of the map. Also, there is no mention of
the fact that the proposed project includes enlargement of
existing fields and there is no mention of the fact that the
proposed work, which included fill, would significantly
change elevations. Still there is no mention by
Pittsfield's Conservation Agent Caleb Mitchell that the
wetlands (with which he has previously said he is familiar)
are not on the map. |
