Project Name: Osborne Hills
EEA No.: 13865
Project details: http://www.env.state.ma.us/mepa/meparcproj.aspx?eoea_num=13865
According to the report, the project is undergoing review. Phase 1 (out of 10 waivers) was granted. Phase 1 includes 19 homes (in construction off Marlborough Rd). The project requires a permit from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), and is being reviewed by the Mass Historical Commission (MHC).
"According to MHC's review of the Inventory of Historic and Archaeological Assets of the Commonwealth, there are two recorded ancient Native American archaeological sites within the project area. Several other ancient archaeological sites have also been found in the immediate vicinity of the project area. MHC has requested that an intensive (locational) archaeological survey (950 CMR 70) be conducted for the project. MassDEP will require a letter from MHC indicating that archaeological issues have been satisfied in advance of sewer permitting for each phase of the project."
