PROJECT NAME: Pickman Park Restoration PROJECT LOCATION: Salem EOEA NUMBER: 4606 PROJECT PROPONENT: DEQE - Division of Waterways DATE NOTICED IN MONITOR: January 24, 1983 Pursuant to M.G.L. , Chapter 30, Section 62A, and 10.04(9) of the Regulations Governing the Implementation of the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act, I hereby determine that the above referenced project does not require an Environmental Impact Report. The MEPA review identified three principal issues: the proposed alteration of salt march; timing of the project in relation to repair and replacement of city sewers; and testing and disposal of dredged material. I. SALT MARSH The proposed dredge area is fringed on both sides by salt marsh. At the con- sultation session the Salem Conservation Commission proposed transplanting of the salt marsh to a location downstream of the swim area. However, replacement of salt marsh can only ba authorized by a variance to the Coastal Wetlands Regulations. Should the Conservation Commission decide to pursue this course of action, preparation of an EIR would be reuired, prior to the granting of a variance, to set forth the "e need and justification for the proposed alteration. If, on the other hand, the salt marsh is clearly delineated as part of the Order of Conditions and carefully avoided during dredging and construction, the project may proceed without preparation of an EIR. It is our understanding that this course is currently planned, and that is the basis of this decision. FORM B Page 2 V w/comments #4606 Pickman Pk. II. TIMING IN RELATION TO SEWER PROEJCTS Repairs to the Moffat Road sewer, accomplished in fall of 1981, resulted in significant lowering of coliform levels in the Forest River. This reduction has been demonstrated by a sampling program performed by the Salem Board of Health. Repair of the Loring Avenue trunk sewer is scheduled for June 1983. In a discussion concern- ing the timing of the two projects at the consultation session, the proponent and Mr. Anthony Fletcher, the City Engineer, agreed on the following construction sequence. 1. Dredging of the swim area and construction of the retaining wall will precede sewer construction. 2. Sewer excavation and repair will take place in June 1983. 3. Clean sand will be placed in the swim area after completion of sewer construction. It is desirable for repair of the Loring Avenue intercepter to precede refurbish- ment of the swim area in order to minimize degradation of water quality. III. TESTING AND DISPOSITION OF DREDGED MATERIAL Sediment sampling results provided in the ENF indicate high levels of oil and grease at both sampling locations (1,275 mg/Kg and 6,820 mg/Kg) . PCBs are frequently associated with such levels of oil and grease. Based on the sampling results and on discussions with the DEQE Northeast Regional Office and the Division of Water Pollution Control, I request the proponent to run an analysis for PCBs prior to com- mencing the project. The sample for the PCB analysis should be taken in the area of the worst-case oil and grease sample and run for the entire 6-inch dredging depth. Based upon results of the PCB analysis, a suitable site for disposal of dredge spoils should be identified. In addition, the proponent should specify the location and method for dewatering. The dewatering method should provide for diversion of the dewatering effluent away from salt marsh areas. The above issues and others identified in the appended comments from W. Sterling Wall and Sabin M. Lord, Jr. , DEQE Northeast Regional Office, must be addressed in the Order of Conditions in a manner satisfactoryr to the DEOE. February 23, 1983 DATE � S S. HO WRETARY MEMORANDUM TO: Executive Office of Environmental Affairs MEPA Unit THRU: William J. St. Hilaire, R.E.E. , Met. Bos/NERD DEQE FROM: W. Sterling Wall, Coastal Geologist, Met. Bos/NERD DEOE SUBJECT: Pickman Park Swim Area Restoration - ENF DATE: January 6, 1982 The Wetlands Division of the Met.-Boston/Northeast Regional Office of the Department of Environmental Quality Engineering has been requested to review the ENF for the above-referenced project for adverse effects to coastal resource areas and the public interests protected by the Wetlands Protection Act. The site is subject to the jurisdiction of the Act as Tidal River, Coastal Bank, Saltmarsh and Coastal Beach. The work is regulatable activity and includes 1. dredging 800 cy. , an average of .5 feet of material from the river bed; 2. disposal of dredge material; and 3. filling with an average of .5 feet of clean sand on the river bottom. The swim area is presently not used because of sewer system exfiltration that pollutes the water with fecal coliform concentrations in excess of water quality standards for recreatioo�l use. The upgrading of this area is desireable, but should not be completed before phase 5 of the Loring Avenue Interceptor in Salem is completed. This work should be done by the Fall of 1984 and will prevent exfiltration to the swim area and allow for its unrestricted use. The dredge project should be rescheduled to allow for this change in completion date. The Solid Waste Section of the DEQE NERO has reviewed this proposal for its dredge materials disposal options. It is the opinion of this office that the fine grained (silts and clays) dredge materials should be disposed of at the Peabody landfill as proposed. These materials should be disposed of as daily fill in the landfill, definitely not as intermediate or daily cover. Any sand from the beach area may be retained on-site. Additionally, there are problems with saltmarsh vegetation that has grown up along the banks while the area has been in use as a swim area. The Act is specific about impacts to saltmarsh and prohibits destruction of or diminishment of marsh bioproductivity when the saltmarsh is significant to the interests of the Act. Therefore, the applicant musCidentify where there is saltmarsh as defined by the Act within the dredge footprint and because it is significant to the Act, should not be dredged. _ RE: Memo - Pickman Park Restoration -ENF Page 2 - - - - There is also concern fot existing significant saltmarsh upstream and downstream of the site. The applicant must provide a work schedule and operational plan which details when the project will take place,_ length of operation, method of dewatering dredge materials, location of dewatering area, method for controlling turbidity and precautions to be taken to protect surrounding saltmarsh.

Lord, Jr. )J Associate Sanitary Engineer J SUBJECT: Pickman Park Swim Area Restoration ENF-Salem The Water Pollution Control Division of the Department of Environmental Quality Engineering has been requested to comment on the above referenced project. The dredging of material from the bottom of the Forest River with the oil/grease concentration of between 1275 and 6820 ppm would cause an oil slick on the water. The Department would then require an oil boom or other appropriate surface slick containment devices and a licensed spill contractor on site or at least on call to contain and remove oil which will float to the water surface while dredging.

The project locus is adjacent to residential area and within a park where both active and passive recreational pursuits are available. The purpose of this project is to provide a swimming and bathing area. As delineated on the project specifications and pointed out at the scoping session, there is saltmarsh fringing both sides of the river bed. As discussed at the scoping session, the Salem Conservation Commission would prefer transplanting the saltmarsh downriver. Their reason is based on potential foot traffic in and around the saltmarsh which could lead to the destruction of the marsh. A decision to transplant can only be reached after the wetlands variance procedure. This process is a time consuming one. The decision to allow the saltmarsh move would result in valuing the public benefits of swimming and bathing over the benefits of saltmarsh preservation, which we would oppose. For these reasons, CZM feels that the saltmarsh should stay in place and be carefully avoided when dredging the river bed. The saltmarsh can also be avoided by bathers and waders. The use of the park will not be as intensive as public beaches but, will primarily serve the residents of the immediate area. Signs can and should be posted to discourage foot traffic on the marsh portions. In regards to high fecal coliform counts due to exfiltration problems, the public works officials stated the problems were rectified. CZM suggests testing the water quality after the dredging is complete and before the clean sediments are placed on the river bed. The testing is necessary to determine whether the high cadmium,"mercury and lead counts are lowered for _ swimming and bathing. O O MrTROPOLITAN AREA _ PLANNING COUNCIL 110 TREMONT ST.

The project consists of dredging the Pickman Park swim area and placing clean sand along the bottom of the Forest River; in addition, a concrete retaining wall near the swimming area would be replaced. While the Council agrees that the proposed improvements would bepositive for the park, there are several important items of information which do not appear in the Environmental Notification Form. In Section III C.3, the Form does not describe the project area as being adjacent to or including salt water marshes. The possible disruption or impacts on this marsh should be more fully discussed. In Section III D. 1, it is mentioned that the sludge to be dredged from the river bed has potentially hazardous levels of lead and cadmium. There is no specific information about the handling of this material beyond a statement that it will be "transported to a nearby landfill" . A permit from the local Board of Health may be necessary for permission to-place lead- and cadmium-bearing sludges (these are considered "special wastes") in a town landfill . The specific town being considered should be identified and the permit from the local board of health added to the list of permits in Section I .G. The material attached documenting sludge contamination does not specify the type of testing method used or whether the readings given are dry weight or wet weight, making assessment of the hazard difficult. Methods for safely handling this material may need to be more clearly described. In addition to these concerns , the MAPC representative from Salem has pointed out that there are ongoing sewerage improvements taking place in the town, and steps should be taken to prevent recontami.na"tion of the Pickman Park area and a waste of the proposed improvements. " The comments of Council representative W. Gregory Senko are attached. The Council appreciates the opportunity to comment on this project. Sincerely, Jona hal` n G.

Brady. treasurer Executive Director #ierje TO: File FROM: William Luster, City Planner SUBJECT: Pickman Park Beach Maintenance Project (DEQE 64-89) On April 11, 1983, the Salem Conservation Commission issued an Order of Conditions for DEQE 64-89 which involved dredging the existing swim area (Forest River), placement of 6" of clean sand materials along the bottom, replacement of an existing concrete retaining wall and restoration of eroded areas. In an effort to maintain improvements to the beach area brought about by the restoration project, the City of Salem proposes to replace a small amount of silted material that has accumulated along the bottom of the swim area with a layer of clean sand. This activity is in accordance with 310 CMR 10.27(5) which states that "beach nourishment with clean sediment of a grain size compatible with that on the existing beach may be permitted."

The project has not gone to construction because of delays caused by changes in various regulations involved in the dredging and disposal of the river bottom materials, the associated engineering work involved, the required con- tractural changes, and the transfer of the Division of Waterways from the Department of Environmental Quality Engineering to the Department of Envi- ronmental Management. The proposed work consists of the dredging of the existing swim area (Forest River) , placement of 6" of clean sand material on the swim area bottom and its surrounding shores, replacement of the existing concrete retaining wall located adjacent to the swim area and restoration of the eroded areas. We anticipate that the work will be done in the summer of 1984 and that con- struction can be completed within a thirty day period. If any additional information is necessary, please notify us.

SterlingWall Coastal Geologist,gist, Met. Bos/NERD DEQE � SUBJECT: Pickman Park Swim Area Restoration - ENF DATE: January 6, 1982 The Wetlands Division of the Met.-Boston/Northeast Regional Office of the Department of Environmental Quality Engineering has been requested to review the ENF for the above-referenced project for adverse effects to coastal resource areas and the public interests protected by the Wetlands Protection Act. The site is subject to the jurisdiction of the Act as Tidal River, Coastal Bank, Saltmarsh and Coastal Beach. The work is regulatable activity and includes 1. dredging 800 cy. , an average of .5 feet of material from the river bed; 2. disposal of dredge material; and 3. filling with an average of .5 feet of clean sand on the river bottom. • The swim area is presently not used because of sewer system exfiltration that pollutes the water with fecal coliform concentrations in excess of water quality standards for recreation'sl use. The upgrading of this area is desireable, but should not be completed before phase 5 of the Loring Avenue Interceptor in Salem is completed. This work should be done by the Fall of 1984 and will prevent exfiltration to the swim area and allow for its unrestricted use. The dredge project should be rescheduled to allow for this change in completion date. The Solid Waste Section of the DEQE NERO has reviewed this proposal for its dredge materials disposal options. It is the opinion of this office that the fine grained (silts and clays) dredge materials should be disposed of at the Peabody landfill as proposed. These materials should be disposed of as daily fill in the landfill, definitely not as intermediate or daily cover. Any sand from the beach area may be retained on-site. Additionally, there are problems with saltmarsh vegetation that has grown up along the banks while the area has been in use as a swim area. The Act is specific about impacts to saltmarsh and prohibits destruction of or diminishment of marsh bioproductivity when the saltmarsh is significant to the interests of the Act. Therefore, the applicant must identify where there is saltmarsh as defined by the Act within the dredge footprint and because it is significant to the Act, should not be dredged. RE: Memo - Pickman Park Restoration -ENF Page 2 • There is also concern for existing significant saltmarsh upstream and downstream of the site. The applicant must provide a work schedule and operational plan which details when the project will take place, length of operation, method of dewatering dredge materials, location of dewatering area, method for controlling turbidity and precautions to be taken to protect surrounding saltmarsh.

NEDOD-R-24-82-618E PUBLIC NOTICE — 2 December 1982 Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering, Division of Waterways, One Winter Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 has requested a permit under: ( X ) Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899. ( X ) Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. ( ) Section 103 of the Marine, Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act of 1972. to: Upgrade the Pickman Park public swimming area in Salem, Massachusetts as shown on the attached plans. The project will involve the dredging of an area, approximately 250'X300' , in the Forest River. An average of 6" of material will be removed from the riverbed within the wading pool area. This material, approximately 800 cubic yards, will be dredged by mechanical means and will be taken upland and used as intermediate cover at a nearby landfill. The material will be replaced with a 6" layer of clean sand, approximately 825 cubic yards below the high tide line. This work will be done at low tide when there is no water within the area. In conjunction with this project, a boat ramp will be removed, an existing concrete retaining wall will be replaced, and a small amount of riprap will be placed. This work will all take place above the high water line. In order to properly evaluate the proposal, we are seeking public comment. Anyone wishing to comInent is encouraged to do so. Comments should be submitted to us in writing by 3 January 1983 If you need additional information, please contact Mr. Collis Adams at the above address or by phone at 617-647-8492 , You may use our toll free line 1-800-343-4789 (use 1-800-362-4367 if calling from within Massachusetts).

Based an experience with similar activities performed in the past, the.Division Engineer has made a preliminary determination that an Environmental Impact Statement is not required under provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. Based on .his initial review, the Division 'Engineer has determined that -little likelihood exists for the proposed work to impinge upon properties listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of .Historic Places and mo further consideration of the requirements of the Preservation of Historical and Archeological Data Act of 1974 1s necessary. This determination is based on one or more of the following: a. The permit area has been extensively modified Eby previous work. b. The permit ,area has been recently created. c. The proposed activity is of limited nature.and scope. d.. Review of Rhe latest published version of the National Register .shows that no presence of registered properties or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein are in .the permit area or general .vicinity. Presently unknown archeological, scientific, pre-historic or!historical data may be lost or destroyed by work to be accomplished under :the requested permit. The Division Engineer has also consulted the latest published version of threatened or .endangered species and made a preliminary determination that the proposed activity will not affect those listed or their critical habitat. Evaluation of the proposed actvity will include conformance with :appropriate State or local floodplain protection standards; consideration of alternative sites and methods of accomplishment; and weighing of the positive and negative, concentrated and dispersed, and short-and long-term impacts upon floodplain.

Lord, Jr. Associate Sanitary Engineer !� < SUBJECT: Pickman Park Swim Area Restoration ENF-Salem The Water Pollution Control Division of the Department of Environmental Quality Engineering has been requested to comment on the above referenced project. The dredging of material from the bottom of the Forest River with �.. the oil/grease concentration of between 1275 and 6820 ppm would cause an oil slick on the water. The Department would then require an oil boom orlother appropriate surface slick containment devices and a licensed spill contractor on site or at least on call to contain and remove oil which will float to the water surface while dredging.
