After viewing the site, it is evident that the seas and intertidal action have a significant effect on the proposed restoration area. It is our opinion that the rip-rap wall should, in fact, be made higher than you propose. One of the Commission members will periodically visit the site during construction to assure compliance with the conditions. We will be available to answer any further questions you may have. We look forward to seeing the work completed. Thank you for your continuing cooperation. Sincerely, Paul R.

Our planning at this point, and most likely for the duration of the roject, calls for no excavation work at all on the beach area except for the removal of salvageable stone where no damage will be inflicted on the beach) . All work to be done on the Sea Wall and earthen embankment, is to be carry out from within the Fort itself. Inherent within the planned removal of the fuel tanks adjacent to the Sea Wall area, is the cross sectioning of the earthen embankment - Fort Wall. This will afford neater access to the construction site and pre- clude the necessity of using heavy equipment on the beach itself. (This was also suggested by Mr. Jeff Moran, a consulting archaeol- ogist on the Narbonne House and Central Wharf in Salem. The pur- pose of the cross-section,beyond access to the site area,is to study the construction method of the Fort itself. ) I would also like to emphasize, that, prompt go-ahead notification will allow us to proceed with the appropriate testing required to determine the advisability and extent to which work can be carried on in regards to removal of the moat causeway.

We wish to retain the Fort as it is now and to protect its architecture. In addition, we wish to remove and/or repair the foreign, industrial and element produced alterations which have occurred since the commencement of the U.S. Coast Guard's occupation of Winter Island in the 1930'x. The completed Natural Preserve will be available to the public for a study of its construction, and for its natural and scenic beauty. Essentially, the work proposed within the Fort Pickering project consists of the repair and maintenance of an exist- ing Rip Rap sea wall. Over the course of time, this section of sea wall has been systematically eroded by the sea and weather. With the erosion of the sea wall, one of the large earth embankments which form the perimeter of the Fort has collapsed to such an extent, that, at the present time, but one half of the embankment remains in place. We propose that the now nonprotective sea wall be restored to its as built dimensions and that the eroded earth embankment behind the sea wall be restored and planted. Further, the U.S. Coast Guard, during its stay at Fort Pickering,erected an earth causeway across the Fort 's pro- tecting water moat. The Fort had previously been accessible only by a wooden bridge. We propose to remove the earth fill forming the causeway across the moat (now deemed wet- land) , thus, extending the wetland area. Access to the Fort would be afforded by the installation of a replica wooden bridge. The removed causeway fill-, would be used as a sec- tion of the gravel fill to be placed behind the repaired sea wall. DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY NEW ENGLAND DIVISION, CORPS OF ENGINEERS I 424 TRAPELO ROAD WALTHAM, MASSACHUSETTS 02154 REPLY TO ATTENTION OF: NEDOD-P-20 13 January 1976 Salem Bicentennial Commission Attn: Mr. Rick Sadoski 32 Derby Square Salem, Massachusetts 01970 Gentlemen: We refer to your proposed causeway removal, bridge construction and riprap repair at Fort Pickering, Salem, Massachusetts. Based on your meeting with Paul Jendzejec of my staff and a subsequent field visit by one c_ our inspectors, we have determined the following: The inner pond is a wetland adjacent to a navigable water of the United States and as such will require a Department of the Army permit for any discharge of dredged or fill material into it. This would include bridge abutment construction and slope protection if located within the boundaries of the wetland. Removal of the causeway itself does not require a permit unless, during the construction operation, material from the causeway is place&'.into the adjacent wetland and pond areas either temporarily or permanently. Repair of the existing riprap will not require a Federal permit provided that such repair does not lengthen or widen the present base dimensions. The application must be submitted on ENG Form 4345. The form and samples of the necessary drawings are inclosed. If you have any further questions oa this matter, you may contact Mr. William Lawless of my staff at 617-894-2400, extension 333.
