Public Services — Watershed Protection District (15) The identification of any activity to be undertaken by the applicant as part of the development that presents, or may present, a foreseeable risk of pollution or injury to the Town's water sources, supply or waterworks, along with a specific description of the best management practices designed to eliminate or minimize such risks to the maximum extent feasible. (16) Such additional information as the applicant or Town may deem necessary to fully evaluate the proposed development and/or demonstrate or explain why a water- shed permit should be issued. (b) All applications for a watershed permit shall be filed with the Town Clerk, who shall promptly forward copies of same to the Town Administrator and Public Works Director. The application and all supporting material shall be reviewed and evaluated to determine whether the application is complete and satisfies the require- ments of this Chapter. Where appropriate, and weather permitting, the Town Administra- tor/Public Works Director may schedule a site visit to inspect the land on which the proposed development activity is to occur. Advance notice of the time and date of such site visit shall be provided to the applicant. (c) Within thirty (30) days following receipt of a complete application, and weather permitting for any necessary site visits or inspections, the Town Administrator shall determine whether the permit application should be granted or denied. The issuance of a permit may be conditioned upon the applicant's compli- ance with such mitigation measures, financial security, performance standards or time dead- lines, or such other terms and conditions as the Town Administrator may deem necessary to ensure protection of the Town's water supply sources, watershed and/or waterworks from pol- lution, disruption or damage. A failure by an applicant to accept or timely adhere to such terms and conditions shall constitute cause to deny or revoke a permit. 13.50.070 (d) Any applicant dissatisfied with a deci- sion or order made by the Town Administrator or Public Works Director under this Chapter may pursue an appeal of the same to the Board of Selectmen by filing a written notice of appeal and appropriate fee with the Town Administrator within ten (10) days from the date of the decision or order appealed from. Upon receipt of a timely notice, the Town Administrator shall agendize the appeal for a hearing before the Board of Selectmen to be conducted not more than forty- five (45) days from the date the notice of appeal was received. The hearing shall be conducted de novo and written notice of the date, time and place for the hearing shall be sent by regular mail or personally delivered to the applicant not less than ten (10) days in advance thereof. A failure by the applicant to appear at the hearing without good cause shall constitute a waiver of the appli- cant's appeal rights and the decision or order subject to the appeal may be automatically affirmed. The applicant shall carry the burden of persuasion with regard to all issues on appeal. Decisions of the Board of Selectmen on appeal shall be entered within thirty (30) days from the conclusion of the hearing thereon and shall be reduced to writing, a copy of which shall be mailed to the applicant. The Board of Selectmen may on appeal prescribe such conditions on the issuance of a permit as it may deem necessary to protect or implement the intent and purposes of this Chapter.
