There appears to be some activity which may be in violation of regulations enforced by your departments. Please consider this a formal request to investigate the site and take any appropriate actions. 1. An airstream travel trailer has been brought onto the site relatively recently (within the last year) . This trailer is being lived in, apparently on a permanent or semi-permanent basis, without being hooked up to a septic system. It is my understanding that there is no occupancy permit for the trailer and, according to Bruce Palmer, when he was building inspector, a trailer will not be granted an occupancy permit in the floodplain. 2 . There is a lot of debris on the site, including an old bus and shed, which may contain health hazards. The bus is being stored in the floodplain on a permanent basis but is not anchored to prevent floatation or collapse, in accordance with the current building code. If you have any questions, please contact me. cc: Charles Amo Northampton Conservation Commission
