What do I do if I think someone is violating the Wetlands Protection Act?

If you see any action that you think is in violation of the Wetlands Protection Act, please notify the Conservation Commission immediately. We will go and look at the site and take appropriate action. We may request your assistance to find the property and view the area with the violation. Your name will remain confidential if you so desire.
