In combination with the pipe conditions discovered by the South Essex Sewerage District ' ("District") during the pipe section replacement at Station 6+00 back in March 2013, the Condition Assessment in fact confirmed that severe deterioration of both the 20-inch and 24-inch pipelines has occurred. This conclusion is based on the Conditions Assessment work, which included direct underwater observations of the pipelines, ultrasonic thickness tests, and soil corrosivity analysis. All of these investigations show that the existing pipes are severely corroded and must be replaced. ' The public health and environmental consequences of another rupture could be substantial, particularly if both pipelines rupture simultaneously. The discovery of deteriorated pipe at representative locations of several thousand feet of subaqueous pipeline make planning and execution of replacement difficult and expensive. Trenchless methods of replacement have been evaluated and are not feasible or would require considerable time to implement. Because our findings indicate that imminent failure will occur at any time, Parsons Brinckerhoff recommends to the District that the pipelines be replaced using non-corroding high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, installed by direct burial (i.e. the same method used to construct the existing ' pipelines) in a new trench adjacent to the existing pipes. RECOMMENDED ACTION PLAN The recommended action plan is to replace both the 20-inch and 24-inch pipelines by installing twin 24-inch High Density Polyethylene(HDPE) pressure mains across Salem Harbor, between the existing Valve Structure A(Stramski's Park, Marblehead) and Valve Structure B (District Wastewater Treatment Plant, Salem). These pipes would be installed in a parallel alignment approximately 200-feet to the west of the existing pressure mains alignment. ' We strongly believe that based on the severely poor condition of the existing pipelines that the issuance of any applicable emergency approvals and authorizations by federal and state ' jurisdictional agencies to replace these pipes is needed. Any delay in constructing the replacement pipeline system increases the risk of experiencing another pipe rupture, with the public health and environmental consequences of an uncontrolled discharge of untreated ' wastewater to the waters of Salem Harbor. At present, the District's objective is to complete the design documents so that the project may ' be bid and awarded as soon as possible, wither construction duration of approximately 6 months. CONSTRUCTION METHODS ' The proposed Marblehead Pipeline Replacement Project will replace the existing pipelines from the existing Valve Structure A(Marblehead), across the Federal Navigation Channel in Salem Harbor, to existing Valve Structure B, at District's Wastewater Treatment Plant in Salem. ' Draft preliminary plans (dated October 24, 2013), provided separately,show the proposed Paye t PARSONS BRINCKERHOFF ' Marblehead Pipeline Replacement Project South Essex Sewerage District October 23,2013 replacement pipelines alignment and various details. In-Harbor Dredging/Trenching The trench for the replacement pipelines in Salem Harbor will be excavated from a barge, requiring excavation to depths of approximately 45 feet (below mean low water)in mid channel. Excavation will be guided and verified using GPS technologyto stay within the proposed alignment and depths. It is proposed to place the pipes in a trench that provides a 5-foot minimum cover(10-foot in Federal Channel), comparable to the existing pipelines. Excavated materials will be cast to the sides of the trench, and used to backfill the trench following pipe installation. Sediment grain size and soil quality has been estimated based on investigations performed under the Conditions Assessment work,and is available separately. Excavated materials will be predominantly organic silts, silts and clays. Turbidity monitoring will be performed during excavation and backfilling, and turbidity barriers will be used as ' required. Backfilling of the trench is expected to produce some excess of material, equivalent to the ' volume of the two 24-inch diameter replacement pipelines and concrete collars that will be used in the installation of the replacement pipelines. If all material is placed as backfill, a temporary local increase of 2-feet in seabed elevation above the pipes will result in the areas outside of the ' Federal Navigation Channel. This mounding of backfill above the pipes will subside due to settlement and tidal action, eventually blending into the surrounding bottom. The zone within the Federal Navigational Channel shall be restored immediately to its pre-existing elevations ' following installation of the replacement pipelines. Temporary Bypass Near the shorelines,the replacement pipelines will be placed in the same trench as the existing pipelines to avoid extensive rock excavation near the sensitive valve structures and operating pipelines. ' Since wastewater flow must continue uninterrupted during construction, a short-term bypass will be required. This will require the installation of a temporary bypass using one of the permanent ' pipelines that will be placed on the ground surface and hard-piped through the top of the existing valve structures on each end. Temporary measures will be in place to restrain and protect the temporary bypass pipeline during construction. Pipeline Installation by the by the Float and Sink Method of Installation The replacement pressure mains will be installed primarily using the"float and sink" method of ' construction. The replacement pressure mains shall be provided with 7 foot wide x 4 foot high x 1 foot thick precast concrete collars every 10 to 20 feet. Precise size and spacing of concrete collars will be established during final design. The concrete collars are attached to the HDPE pipe to counteract the effects of buoyancy. 1 The HDPE pipe will be joined by fusion welding methods, following procedures specified by the pipe manufacturer, and will be tested before installation. HDPE pipe joined by these methods is ' widely used across the natural gas distribution industry as well as for water and wastewater pipelines, and produces a completely uniform and monolithic pipe. The pipelines will be tested in accordance with contract specifications before commissioning. I ' Page 2 PARSONS BRINCKERHOFF III , Marblehead Pipeline Replacement Project South Essex Sewerage District October 23,2013 ' Permanent Connection to Valve Structures Once the temporary bypass pipe is connected into the valve structures, tested and placed in service,the existing pipeline sections that cross the shoreline at the Marblehead and Salem ends ' will be excavated and removed. The shoreline crossings were installed in trenches cut into bedrock(ledge), which were then backfilled and armored. To avoid the risk of encountering rock in the shoreline areas the replacement pipes will be installed in the existing trenches, and the backfill and rock armor will be reinstalled. It will be necessary to place the fust pipe in service before the temporary bypass (second pipe) can be disconnected,relocated into the trench, and reconnected. All connections will be tested before the pipes are place in service. III ' Environmental Mitigation Environmental mitigations will be detailed in contract documents and shall be specific to the areas in which they are to be applied. Following is a summary of the environmental mitigations. . Off Shore/In Harbor. Turbidity booms, monitoring, silt curtains. Shoreline Areas. Trench dewatering plan, erosion and sedimentation controls, turbidity booms, monitoring and restoration. Existing rock armor will be removed as necessary to install the replacement pipelines and reinstalled. Shoreline areas will be restored to pre-construction grades, with sand and landscaping materials and rock armor replaced as required. On Shore.; Erosion and sedimentation controls such as silt fence, geotextile fabric, hay bales, straw wattle, anti-tracking pads. Onshore areas to be backfilled and restored to pre-construction grades and conditions, with sand, grass and landscaping materials as required. 1 II 1 I Page 3 PARSONS BR/NCKERHOFF t tATTACHMENT B ' USGS MAP K 1 1 1 Attachment B USGS Map i r' f sch Sub , ort?? en a era xatFtarr�i �` Knap • ,..� atftide Rock 0 Sal m Ter gnat- c��y S O U rt 3 y� 9ffilNtioll ?..� eta• S 41 LtGNAA1=IJT 1 E CEMENT OEUN 00, y 4 1 ht 3 o yet Point S A-E M ' 5 1 �' •.

CONCLUSIONS Disposal Parameters Based on the sampling performed in this investigation, sediment characteristics would allow for in-state disposal in the event that excavation for pipeline repair or replacement were to generate excess sediment ' volumes. It should be noted that the sampling performed was limited as to locations, and may not be representative of sediments everywhere else along the alignment. Landfills will require sampling and analysis at a frequency higher than that afforded by the testing conducted to date, and it is possible that this testing could yield different results. If it should be determined that the selected approach to pipeline repair or replacement will generate sediments that would require upland disposal, a further round of sampling is recommended. The data from the sampling performed to date do not suggest that reuse of sediment as backfill or cover over a pipe trench would present an environmental hazard. Contaminant levels detected in both samples ' are low, and in the case of Arsenic and Barium are consistent with naturally occurring levels in marine clays in the Boston-North Shore area. Indeed,the sample results are broadly similar, and at the present time there is no reason to assume that they are not representative of the alignment of the existing pipeline j ' or a reasonably contiguous alternative alignment. 13 ' ENF Attachment C ATTACHMENT D CZM CONSISTENCY REVIEW it i , 1 CZM Proeram Policies ' The CZM Program policies are divided into the following 9 categories: • Coastal Hazards, Energy, • Growth Management, ' . Habitat, • Ocean Resources, • Ports and Harbors, ' • Protected Areas, • Public Access, and • Water Quality. ' This following sections list each policy and management principle as contained in the regulations at 301 CMR 21.00 and demonstrates that the project can be designed and constructed consistent with them. COASTAL HAZARDS -COASTAL HAZARD POLICY#I -Preserve protect restore and enhance the beneficial functions of storm damage andflood control provided by natural coastal land orms such as dunes, beaches t barrier beaches coastal banks, land subject to coastal storm flohgge, salt marshes, and land under the ocean. u ' All coastal landforms within the project area will be restored to their current configuration and topography to ensure no change to any functions of storm damage prevention and flood control that may be provided. ' -COASTAL HAZARD POLICY#2-Ensure that construction in water bodies and contiYUOUS land areas will minimize interference with water circulation and sediment transport. Flood or erosion control Proiects must demonstrate no sign scant adverse effects on the project site or adjacent or downcoast ureas.. ' All construction in water bodies and contiguous land areas will be limited in duration. All coastal landforms and underwater areas within the project area will be restored to their current configuration and topography to ensure no change to water circulation and sediment transport. -COASTAL HAZARD POLICY#3-Ensure[hat state andfederally funded public works proiects proposed for location within the coastal zone will: . •not exacerbate exisiine hazards or damage natural bufl"ers or other natural resources. • be reasonably safe from flood and erosion related damage. •not promoteVrawth and development in hazard prone or buffer areas especially in velocity zones and Areas of Critical Environmental Concern. •not be used an Coastal Barrier Resource Units for new or substantial reconstruction of structures in a manner inconsistent with the Coastal Barrier Resourca/Irnprovement Acts. ' The new pipelines will be below grade both in the harbor and the upland shore areas. Therefore there will be no changes that will exacerbate existing hazards or damage natural buffers or other ' natural resources. ' 2 1 1 • The new pipelines will be below grade both in the harbor and the upland shore areas. Therefore, it ' is protected from flood and erosion-related damage. • There are no Velocity zones and ACECs within the project areas,so these aspects are not applicable. ' • There are neither Coastal Barrier Resource Units nor new coastal structures involved, so these aspects are not applicable. ' *COASTAL HAZARD POLICY#4-Prioritize acquisition of hazardous coastal areas that have high conservation and/or recreation values and relocation ofstructures out ofcoastal high-hazard areas.giving due consideration to the effects ofcoastal hazards at the location to the use and manageability of the area. This policy is not applicable to the project. ENERGY ' •ENERGYPOLICY#I -For coastally dependent energy facilities assess siting in ahernative coastal locations For non-coastally dependent energy facilities assess siting in areas outside of the coastal zone. Weigh the environmental and safety impacts o locating proposed energy facilities at alternalive sites ' This policy is not applicable to this project. ' •ENERGYPOLICY#2-Encourage energy conservation and the use ofrenewable sources such as solar and wind ewer in order to assist in meeting the energy needs of the Commonwealth- This policy is not applicable to this project. w GROWTH MANAGEMENT •GROWTHMANAGEMENT POLICY#1-Encow•age sustainable development that is consisteni with ' state regional and local plans and supports the quality and character of the community. This policy in not applicable to this project. ' -GROWTH MANAGEMENT POLICY#2- Ensure that state and ederally funded infrastructure proiecGr in the coastal zone primarily serve existing developed areas assigning highest priority to Projects that meet the needs of urban and community development centers. . ' This policy in not applicable to this project. ' -GROWTH MANAGEMENT POLICY#3- Encourage the revitalization and enhancement of existing development centers in the coastal zone through technical assistance and financial support for residential commercial and industrial development.. ' This policy in not applicable to this project. ' 3 1 1 HABITAT ' HABITAT POLICY#1 -Protect coastal estuarine and marine habitats—including salt marshes. shellfish beds submerged aquatic vegetation dunes,..beaches barrier beaches banks salt ponds eelgrass beds tidal flats, rocky shores bays sowzds and other ocean habitats—and coastal freshwater streams ponds and wetlands to preserve critical wildlife habitat and other important functions and services including nutrient and sediment attenuation, wave and sta m damage protection and landform movement and processes. ' The coastal resource areas of relevance to this project include the beach area at the Marblehead end of the pipeline and some nearby eelgrass beds, which are adjacent to, but not within,the project area. ' The District will provide the results of an eelgrass survey, to be performed by a qualified marine biologist to verify the current locations of eelgrass in the areas immediately adjacent to the project. ' Beach in Project Area: The applicable habitats for this project are limited to a small area of beach on the Marblehead side adjacent ' to the existing pipelines. Project construction will temporarily impact a portion of this beach, but it will be restored after construction is completed. The disturbance is estimated to be for less than 6 months. ' Nearby Eelgrass Beds: Eelgrass beds have been mapped by the Department of Environmental Protection(DEP), with the most recent mapping in 2012. The succession of the mapping indicates a recession of the extent of the eelgrass ' beds, with the 2012 map(see Figure I below) indicating that the current eelgrass beds stop just north of the project area. ' There is also a small area of eelgrass mapped near the Salem shoreline, as indicated in Figure 1 below. However,the existing and proposed pipelines do not impact this resource area. Therefore there will be no disturbance to the existing eelgrass beds. The District will provide the results of an eelgrass survey,to be performed by a qualified marine biologist to verify the current locations of eelgrass in the areas immediately adjacent to the project. ' 4 eel grass area A ` w EXISTING PIPELINES f eel grass area ' eel ' ;grass 'a e s REPLACEMENT eel grass area ' PIPELINES ALIGNMENT • ' Figure 1—Eelgrass in Project Area,2012 (MassDEP Eelgrass Mapping Project) Mitigation ' SESD will implement mitigation including: Environmental mitigations will be detailed in contract documents and shall be specific to the areas in which ' they are to be applied. Following is a summary of the environmental mitigations. Off Shore/In Harbor.Turbidity booms, monitoring,silt curtains. ' Shoreline Areas. Trench dewatering plan,erosion and sedimentation controls,turbidity booms,monitoring and restoration. Existing rock armor will be removed as necessary to install the replacement pipelines and reinstalled. Shoreline areas will be restored to pre-construction grades, with sand and landscaping materials and rock armor replaced as required. 5 1 On Shore. Erosion and sedimentation controls such as silt fence, geotextile fabric, hay bales, straw wattle, ' anti-tracking pads. Onshore areas to be backfilled and restored to pre-construction grades and conditions, with sand, grass and landscaping materials as required. -HABITAT POLICY#2-Advance the restoration ofdegr aded or ormer habitats in coastal and marine areas. ' There are no degraded or former habitats in the project area and therefore no wetland restoration is proposed as part of the project. ' OCEAN RESOURCES OCEANRESOURCESPOLICY#I-Support the development ofsustainable auuaculture both for commercial and enhancement(public sheUrsh stocking) purposes Ensure that the review process regulating aquaculture Awility sites (and access routes to those areas)protects signiftcant ecological ' resources (salt marshes dunes beaches barrier beaches and sallponds) and minimizes adverse effects on the coastal and marine environment and other water-dependent axes. tThis policy in not applicable to this project. OCEAN RESOURCES POLICY#2-Except where such activity is prohibited by the Ocean Sanctuaries ' Act or other applicable rovision of law, the extraction ofoil natural gas or marine minerals (other than sand and gravel) in or affecting the coastal zone must protect marine resources marine water quality, fisheries and navigational recreational and other uses. ' This policy in not applicable to this project. -OCEAN RESOURCES POLICY#3-Accommodate offshore sand and gravel mining needs in areas and ' in ways Thal will not adversely a ect marine resources, navigation or shoreline areas due to alteration of wave direction and dynamics Mining ofsand and gravel when and where permitted will be primarily for the purpose of beach nourishment or shoreline stabilization. ' This policy in not applicable to this project. PORTS AND HARBORS ' -PORTSAND HARBORS POLICY#1- Ensure that dredging and disposal ofdredeed material minimize adverse effects on water quality, physical processes marine productivity and public health and take full advantage ofop 2ortunities for beneficial re-use ' • All dredging will be enclosed by silt curtain to contain turbidity so as to minimize adverse effects on water quality and aquatic resources. The material will be initially sidecast on either side of the dredged ' trench for the pipeline for subsequent reuse as backfill material. • Once the pipeline is placed and surveyed, the trench will be backfilled with the sidecast material. There will be some excess material, which is equal to the volume of the new pipelines and the concrete collars ' required to counter the effects of pipeline buoyancy. This excess material will be gently mounded over 6 1 the width of the trench, resulting in a mound in the order of 6 to 10 inches in height above existing ' bottom elevations, over an approximate 24-foot width. This backfill operation will be enclosed by silt curtain so as to minimize adverse effects on water quality and aquatic resources. • The areas where sidecast material is placed will be returned to the pre-construction contours. To assure ' this, a pre-construction bathymetric survey performed in June 2013 will serve as the pre-construction bottom contours. A post-construction bathymetric survey will be performed after completion of the trench backfilling operations. The pre- and post-construction surveys will be compared to determine if all the sidecast areas have been returned to the pre-construction contours. If not, the contractor will be ' required to regrade the areas and re-survey them to demonstrate compliance with this requirement. • Dredged material will be reused for bedding and backfill of pipelines in lieu of using imported bedding and fill. ' PORTSAND HARBORS POLICY#2-Obtain the widest possible Public benefit from channel dre(Ig%nY ' and ensure that Desienated Port Areas and developed harbors are given highest priority in the allocation of resources. . ' This policy is not applicable to this project. PORTS AND HARBORS POLICY#3-Preserve and enhance the capacity of Designated Port Areas to ' accommodate water-dependent industrial uses and prevent the exclusion of such uses from tidelands and any other DPA lands over which an GFA ag_encv exerts control by virtue ofownership or other legal authority. ' This project is within the Salem DPA—see Figure 2 below. Where the new pipelines cross the DPA, it is the navigation channel. While construction over the pipelines would be precluded, their crossing of the DPA in mid-channel would have no impact that might preclude any development of water-dependent industrial uses. Within the Federal Channel, the pipeline will be buried with at least 10 feet of cover in accordance with US Army Corps policy, to protect it during any ' future dredging of the channel. t 7 t 1 1 ® ^°-' —""�-• 8atem Harbor ....1 .......... v an9V WI PMMY IePAI N a 4 P 5If{ r F. ik x 1d 5 a qY ' • wr,laa.o..�c clwel a�.w•eF.u. �AORnr.VWl \ o ••';� s a No.e+.aMAm wve.r rwiwev.ia.ry a �e•• Figure 2: Salem Designated Port Area Source:Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management. 1 -POR TS AND HARBORS POLICY#4-For development on tidelands and other coastal waterways, preserve and enhance the immediate waterfran!for vessel-mlafed activities that require sufcieni space and suitable facilities along the Hrater's edge for operational purposes.

' This policy is not applicable to this project. •PUBLICACCESS POLICY#2-Improve public access to existing coastal recreation facilities and ' alleviale auto traffic cmd parking problems through improvements in public transportation and trail[inks (land-or water-based) to other nearby facilities. Increase capacityofexisting recreation areas by facilitating multiple use and by improving management maintenance, and public support facilities.Ensure that the adverse impacts ofdevelopmeng proposed near exisitngpublic access and recreation sites are ' minimized.. This policy is not applicable to this project. •PUBLICACCESS POLICY#3-Expand existing recreation facilities and acquire and develop newpublic areas for coastal recreational activities giving highest priority to regions of high need or limited site ' availability. Provide technical assistance to developers of both public and private recreation facililies and sites that increase public access to the shoreline to ensure that both transportation access and the recreation facilities are compatible with social and environmental characteristics ofsurrounding ' communities. . This policy is not applicable to this project. WATER QUALITY ' -WATER OUALITYPOLICY#1 - Ensure that point-source discharges and withdrawals in or affecting the coastal zone do not compromise water quality standards and protect designated uses and other inlerests. ' Existing Point Discharees ' There are no existing point discharges associated with the Marblehead pressure mains. WA TER QUALITY POLICY#2-Ensure the implementation ofnonpoint source pollulion controls to ' promote the attainment of water quality standards and protect designated uses and other interests. ' 9 Construction Impacts ' Work within the Coastal Zone will be designed and constructed to comply with federal and state effluent limitations including point source discharges. Non-point pollution controls will promote the attainment of ' state surface water quality standards. The replacement pipes will be installed parallel to the existing active sewers, with enough separation so that construction can be performed without damaging these pipes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)will have the opportunity to review and comment on the ' project during the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (COE) Section 404 permit process. The permit application to the US Army Corps of Engineers was filed on September 16, 2013. ' Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection(MADEP)will have the opportunity to review project activities as part of the application for Water Quality Certification. ' Furthermore, SESD will hire an on-site, independent environmental inspector during the construction phase, among other duties the inspector will keep logs that note the turbidity conditions, note any sediment plumes and corrective actions,and list the various measures employed to reduce turbidity and their effectiveness. ' -WA TER OUALITY POLICY#3-Ensure that subsurface waste discharges conform to applicable. standards including the siting construction, and maintenance requirements for on-site wastewater disposal wstems water quality standards established Total Maximum Daily Load limits, and prohibitions on ' facilities in high-hazard areas. This policy is not applicable to this project. t ' Summary The proposed project will greatly enhance and protect the coastal environment by providing new pipes to replace the severely corroded raw wastewater conveyance pipelines, one of which has already ruptured and ' discharged raw sewage into Salem Harbor,and replacing them with corrosion-resistant pipes. The entire pipeline will be buried and will not have any permanent visual,environmental,or development impacts to the coastal zone within Salem Harbor. 1 10 tATTACHMENT E PRELIMINARY DESIGN PLANS (13 plan sheets, following this page) I 1 1 7 10 2 1 CONTRACT No. 13-1 A A MARBLEHEAD PIPELINE REPLACEMENT PROJECT _ SOUTH ESSEX SEWERAGE DISTRICT 50 FORT AVENUE SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS p ' B 0 0 / f ' •• rn r-; c •`i • r ��•���; �01�- M ' y d l //I DISTRICT BOARD MEMBERS INDEX OF duv4Ncs end •• Sch J '• • '✓ •• 1 f // WALTER A.

' The MHC requests that a marine archaeological reconnaissance survey be conducted for the project. The goal of the investigation is to provide a detailed archaeological sensitivity assessment for the project, and to provide recommendations for further archaeological testing, if any,that may be required to locate ' and identify significant archaeological resources that could be affected by the project.The results of this survey will be considered in consultation with the Corps in order to avoid,minimize,or mitigate adverse. effects to identified significant archaeological resources, ' 220 Morrissey Boulevard,Boston,Massachusetts 02125 ' (617) 727-8470•Fax: (617)727-5128 2 www state.ma.u0sec/mhc x The pmposed'research design and methodology for themaritimc archaeological men n1mssance su vay' should be submitted to the MHC fqr review and comment{36 CFR 800 4(a))by a.qualificd and regionally experienced archaeological consultant.Systeri atrc sub-hottor coring should be conducted as part of the survey to identify,intact buried paleosols.The preliminary geophysical data collected to date for the project should be provided to the archaeological consultant for consideration in the research design' and methodology.
