The principal role of the Conservation Commission is to administer the Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Regulations of the Town of Somers. In addition, the Commission serves in an advisory role to the other land-use commissions on natural resource issues. Under the Inland Wetland and Watercourses Regulations of the Town of Somers, the Commission reviews only those activities that are likely to alter or affect wetlands and watercourses. The Wetland Enforcement Agent may approve minor activities that are close to wetlands and watercourses but are not expected to impact any resources.
