TISBURY — The Tisbury Conservation Commission unanimously approved three environmental projects at its June 2 meeting. Chair Thomas Robinson and members John Best, Lilian Robinson, Sarah Toste, and David Reed voted to permit a biochar swale at 19 Owen Park Way designed to filter stormwater before it reaches the harbor, replacing two dysfunctional pipes that currently discharge untreated runoff. The commission also approved a sewage system upgrade at 57 Hines Point incorporating NitROE Technology, with a condition requiring notification of Wampanoag tribal representatives before digging at the archaeologically sensitive site.
A third unanimous vote authorized coastal bank revegetation at 797 Main Street using native plants. The commission also discussed two outstanding enforcement orders for unauthorized coastal bank alterations.
