Duques Conservation Agent Department of Planning and Community Development ' 120 Washington Street Salem, MA 01970 ' Subject: Request for Determination of Applicability for Installation of Electrical Utility Poles Along Planters Street, Salem, Massachusetts. ' Dear Ms. Duques: ' On behalf of National Grid (Grid), ENSR herein submits a Request for Determination of Applicability(RDA) in accordance with the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act(M.G.L. c. 131 s. 40) and the City of Salem Wetlands Ordinance. Grid seeks approval for the installation of four utility poles along the northern shoulder of Planters Street at the road's eastern end (Figure 1). The proposed activity would occur within the 100- foot buffer zone of vegetated wetlands, salt marsh and within Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage. Grid proposes the installation of four new poles to support an upgrade project taking place at the Rail Yard ' Substation on Fort Avenue in Salem. The additional poles will increase the reliability of this substation and service in the Salem and Beverly area. They will span a total linear distance of approximately 70 feet. One of these poles would also have an associated anchor installed parallel to the street. Furthermore, Grid will ' conduct an in-kind replacement of a wooden pole located at the edge of wetlands just northeast of Planters Street, and remove a pole located at the end of Planters Street. This replacement and removal constitutes an exempt maintenance activity according to the Wetlands Protection Act and the Salem Wetlands Ordinance. ' To facilitate your review of this RDA, we have enclosed the WPA forms, resource area and project area descriptions, site plans and details, and sedimentation and erosion control details. It is our understanding ' that this RDA will be placed on the agenda for the Salem Conservation Commission meeting of September 13, 2007.

The four new poles would be installed at the eastern end of Planters Street, along the road edge bordering on the utility easement(Figure 1). Installation will take place within buffer zone to vegetated wetlands and salt marsh and within Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage (LSCSF). Description of Resource Areas ' ENSR wetland scientists reviewed the project area to document the presence of state and local wetland resource areas on July 25, 2007. Three wetland resource areas were delineated using methodology prescribed by the 1987 Army Corps of Engineers Manual and the 1995 MADEP Delineating Bordering Vegetated Wetlands policy guidebook. Areas exhibiting a dominance of wetland vegetation in conjunction with hydric soils or other positive indicators of a wetland hydrological regime were marked in the field using alphanumeric numbered surveyors tape. ' The first wetland, located just east of the end of Planters Street and the parking lot, was designated as salt marsh. A series of SM-1 to SM-20 was used to demarcate the area. Species found in the wetland were characteristic of New England salt marsh and included seaside goldenrod (Solidago sempervirens), spike ' grass(Distichlys spicata), black rush (Juncus gerardil), sea lavender(Limonium nashil), several cordgrasses (Spartina patens, Spartina alterniflora, Spartina pectinata), and some seaside rose(Rosa rugosa). There was evidence of regular tidal flushing, including a small stream leading to Collins Cove. A second wetland resource area, to the immediate north of Planters Street, was identified as a palustrine emergent(PEM)wetland. It was marked with flags A-1 through A-14. This vegetated wetland was characterized by the presence of hydric soils and wetland hydrology. The dominant vegetation was Spartina pectinata, an obligate wetland species. There was also broad-leaf cattail (Typha latifolia), Bidens spp., reed canary grass(Phalaris arundinacea), blue vervain (Verbena hastata), soft rush (Juncus effusus), purple Ioosestrife(Lythra salicaria), and common reed (Phragmites australis), along with black willow(Salix nigra), ' gray birch (Betula populifolia), and green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) along the edges. A third wetland area, located to the northeast of Planters Street and adjacent to the salt marsh, was ' demarcated as series B-1 to B-10. This PEM was dominated by Phragmites australis, with some Spartina pectinata and Betula populifolia. No standing water was observed in this area. Although soils were hydric, they were not saturated at the time of inspection. ' The proposed installation of new poles would occur in uplands along the shoulder of Planters Street, in the 100-foot wetland buffer zone along the shoulder of Planters Street and in LSCSF. No new poles will be installed within vegetated wetlands or salt marsh. ' The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM)for the City of Salem (Community Panel No. 250102-0001 B, 1985) identifies the 100-year floodplain associated with Beverly Harbor at the Planters Street site (Figure 2). The site is within two zones. B and A4. According to FEMA, zone A4 is classified as the 100-year flood zone(elevation 12 ft NGVD 29). Zone B is the 500-year flood zone. According to the 2006 Edition (MassGIS version)of the Massachusetts Natural Heritage Atlas, prepared by the Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program, the site is not located within an area of Estimated Habitats of Rare Wildlife or an area of Priority Habitats of Rare Species (Figure 3). There are no ' J:\Water`ProjectFiles\P40\4940\100-NS ON CALL\118- August 2007 Salem\RDA\RDA narrative.d= ENSR certified vernal pools located on or near the site. ENSR did not observe any evidence of rare or endangered species during the site investigations. ' Description of Proposed Activities and Resource Area Protection In support of an upgrade project within Salem's Rail Yard Substation on Fort Avenue, Grid proposes to install four new poles and one anchor along the northern shoulder of Planters Street at the road's eastern end. There is currently a distance of approximately 85 feet between the existing pole towards the end of Planters Street and the off-road pole (P3935-04)to the northeast of the end of the road (Figure 4). The four new poles will span a total linear distance of approximately 70 feet. ' National Grid is also proposing that the older, off-road pole(P3935-84) be replaced in-kind to increase stability. This pole replacement will be conducted from the existing gravel access path and haybales will be installed in a U-formation around the base of the pole. In addition, Grid is proposing the removal of a pole and anchor that are located in the northeast corner of the parking lot at the end of Planter's Street. The pole will be cut at base and removed. Disturbed soil around the removed anchor and pole will be stabilized and seeded. This pole removal is also a maintenance activity, as the pole would no longer be necessary following the proposed installation of four new poles. These activities constitute exempt activities under the public utility maintenance ' exemption within the MA Wetlands Protection Act and the Salem Wetlands Ordinance. These exempt maintenance activities are included in this RDA as written notification. Installation of poles and anchors will occur in the month of October 2007 over a period of two weeks. Poles ' will be installed within three feet of the edge of the road pavement and in-line with existing pole 1350. The new 40-foot poles(numbers P1351, P1352, P1353, and P1354)will be installed seven feet below grade(33 feet above ground). Soil excavated during pole installation will be temporarily stored adjacent to the pole and ' used for backfill around the new poles. Any excess soil will be removed from the site and disposed of properly. The temporary impact of pole installation, replacement, and removal is estimated at approximately 4 sq. ft per pole(total temporary impacts of less than 20 sq. ft). Total permanent impacts per pole will be less than 1 sq. ft(cumulative permanent impacts of less than 5 sq. ft). The new poles and the overhead conductor wires will be installed by truck-mounted equipment located along Planters Street. Installation of conductor wire will not result in wetland or buffer-zone impacts, as no ground ' disturbance is involved. Hay bales will be installed in a LI-formation around the base of the pole sites to prevent downgradient soil ' migration in the event of sudden rainfall. The bales will be installed prior to installation, and will remain in situ until the ground has been stabilized. To restore the surface soils to pre-construction grade, a native grass seed mix will be broadcast over the disturbed soil. New pole installations will occur in an upland area that is within the 100-foot buffer zone of vegetated wetlands and LSCSF. There will be no new poles installed, and no net fill placed, in vegetated wetlands or salt marsh.
