Experts hired to address wetlands violations

SALISBURY — The Inland Wetlands Commission received a list of experts hired by Seth Churchill to prepare reports on wetlands violations at 144 Salmon Kill Road at its meeting Monday, Oct. 26. The case centers on vegetation removal, construction of a driveway and pond, and associated site work that town officials say occurred between 2019 and 2023, within 150 feet of wetlands and watercourses adjacent to the Salmon Kill River, without a permit. At its Oct. 13 meeting, the commission upheld an Oct. 7 cease and correct order with one change: Churchill’s deadline to hire consultants was extended from Oct. 14 to Oct. 26. Miles Todaro, the town’s land use specialist, said Churchill had hired surveyor Mat Kiefer, soil scientist Tom Stansfield and engineer George Johannesen.
