HADLEY — Permit fees for recreational vehicles to be allowed on campsites along the Connecticut River are unlikely to be reduced, despite complaints from property owners about the high costs of going before the town’s Conservation Commission.
At Wednesday’s Select Board meeting, Conservation Commission Chairwoman Paulette Kuzdeba defended the fees as mandatory under the state’s Wetlands Protection Act, as the fees for the so-called notice of intent filings, required when there is any potential altering of wetlands, are set by the state.
