Under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (MGL Chapter 131, Section 40), which of the following resource areas or zones is NOT typically protected under the statewide Wetlands Protection Act regulations?

Correct Answer

D) A commercial parking lot located 250 feet from the nearest wetland

A commercial parking lot located 250 feet from the nearest wetland is NOT protected under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act. The Act's jurisdiction extends to wetland resource areas themselves and the 100-foot buffer zone surrounding them. A site that is 250 feet from any wetland resource area falls entirely outside the Act's jurisdictional reach, and no Notice of Intent or Order of Conditions would be required for activities at that location under state wetlands law.

Answer Options
A
Bordering vegetated wetlands adjacent to a pond
B
Land subject to coastal storm flowage in a coastal community
C
A 100-foot upland buffer zone surrounding a certified vernal pool
D
A commercial parking lot located 250 feet from the nearest wetland
