Wetlands Agency Urges Residents to See If Permits are Required Before Ground Disturbances

From Greenwich’s Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Agency

For any ground disturbance on your property come into the Wetlands Department to discuss with staff if a wetlands permit is needed.

A Green Sheet is our preliminary form allowing us to determine if further action, such as an IWWA permit, is needed.

As a reminder for this time of year no leaves or other yard debris should be blown into wetlands or water courses.

Wetlands Department:
