For the Property Located at I20 Swampscott Road Dear Mr. Comacchio and Members of the Conservation Commission: I represent Carmine and Angelo Mongiello, the owners of the property at 120 Swampscott Road. The Mongiello's at one time had an agreement to sell their property to the above named applicant. In connection with that agreement the applicant submitted plans for proposed activities that would potentially impact resource areas on or abutting the Mongiello's property. The Mongiello's no longer have any agreement with the applicant and are actively seeking other potential purchasers of their property. The Mongiello's have no intention to follow through with the plans proposed by the above named applicant and do not wish to compromise future use proposals or applications that may come before the Commission by a negative determination on the current application. Therefore, the Mongiello's respectfully request that the application presently before the Commission be withdrawn without prejudice. Thank you for your consideration.

Specifically, the disturbed slopes are located in the areas upgradient of wetland flags B-10 through B- 13 and C-2 through C-5, as indicated on the project Site Plan. Vegetation and some soil disturbance have occurred where logs and/or stumps had been placed or have slid down-slope in these locations. As of my site inspection on 27 May 2005, the BVW in these areas had not been disturbed; however, disturbance was right to the edge of the BVW near flag C-4. Slone Clean-Uu 1. Silt fencing will be installed at the base of the slope in the areas described above. 2. Logs, stumps, loose branches and any other loose debris that may be present on these slopes will be carefully removed by AAA Tree Service using available machinery from the top of the slopes. No heavy machinery will be allowed on the slopes. 3. Only items lying on the surface will be removed, no excavation will occur on these slopes. Slope Stabilization 1. After logs have been removed from the slopes, several inches of wood chip mulch will be placed on the slopes to provide stabilization and prevent soil erosion into the BVW. 2. As the wood chip mulch decomposes, the slopes should re-vegetate naturally over time. 3. The silt fence at the toe of the slopes will remain in place until the slopes are stabilized. phone 978.748.6818 • In 978.741.8648 • GMRC204@earthllnk.net GULF OF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER, INC.

The basin is designed to provide water quality treatment for stormwater runoff up to and including the 100- year storm event. Treatment will be achieved through a combination of sedimentation, filtration, nutrient uptake, and infiltration. Soils The texture of the topsoil within the infiltration basin and sediment swale will be sandy loam. The topsoil will be 6 to 12 inches deep. Organic matter content of the topsoil should be approximately 10%, and the soil shall not contain greater than 20%clay. If existing topsoil is too thin,too sandy, or does not contain sufficient organic content,the soil will be amended and/or additional appropriate topsoil brought in. Vegetation Grasses that can withstand periodic inundation and that will produce fine, uniform, and dense cover are proposed. The infiltration basin and swale will be seeded with the grass seed mix described below(or other mix approved by the Salem Conservation Commission). A seeding rate of approximately 1,250 s.f per pound of seed is proposed. The proposed grass mix contains the following ratio of native species. e 2.0 lb of Creeping bentgrass(Agrostis stolonifera,FACW); e 1.2 lb of Red fescue(Festuca rubra,FACU); e 0.8 lb of Virginia wildrye (Elymus virginicus,FACW-); e 0.8 lb of Canada wildrye(Elymus canadensis,FACU+); e 0.4 lb of Fowl bluegrass(Poa palustris,FACW). phone 879.748.8818 • W 978.741.9848 • GMRC204(Mearthllnknet GULF OF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER, INC. As an alternative to seeding,the infiltration basin and swale areas may be sodded with creeping bentgrass to provide immediate cover. Maintenance During the first few months after seeding, while vegetation is becoming established, the basin and swale will be inspected weekly and after major storm events. Once vegetation is well established,the basin and swale will be inspected as described in the Inspection and Maintenance Program included in the Runoff Analysis report submitted for the project. Reseeding will be done as needed to maintain uniform and dense cover. For optimum stormwater treatment,the infiltration basin and Swale will be mowed a minimum of twice during the growing season. The grass should not be cut lower than 4 inches since this may reduce the filtering effectiveness of the vegetation. Grass clippings will be removed and disposed of in an appropriate upland location outside of any wetland resource area. When mowed,any debris present in the swale will also be removed and disposed of properly. Trees and shrubs will not be planted in the basin or swale, or on the basin embankment. Snow will not be stored within the basin. Snow storage on grassed or gravel areas adjacent to the basin and/or swale is allowable and preferred. Sincerely, Joseph H.

A. SITE PLAN REVISIONS (Prepared by Parsons and Faia, Inc, most recent revision date 6/21/05) 10 The entire length of the BV W boundary on the site is now shown on the site plan. Wetland Area"C" was delineated by GMRC on May 19`s and 27th 2005, and is identified by flags C-1 through C-32. The Buffer Zone line has been adjusted accordingly. 2. The topo coverage shown on the site plan was expanded to include the area requested by the Commission during the site walk. r1 Locations of the concrete block pile and debris pile have been added to the site plan. 40 Areas of disturbed slopes adjacent to wetland flags C-3 to C-5 and B-11 to B-13 have been identified on the site plan. 95) The proposed sediment barrier has been extended along wetland B and the upper portion of wetland C. In addition, extra sediment barriers are indicated at the base of the disturbed slopes described in item 4 above. 6. Proposed grades have been adjusted so runoff from the majority of the proposed work area(approximately 84%)will flow to the infiltration basin. 11 The proposed infiltration basin has been revised to hold the additional runoff, and is sized to contain the 100-year storm. 40 The bottom elevation of the infiltration basin has been raised to 76.0 feet so as to be two feet above the observed groundwater elevation. f GULF OF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC. lb A sediment forebay"swale"has been added to the infiltration basin design to remove coarse particulates from runoff prior to entering the basin. In addition, an emergency spillway has been added to the basin to prevent damage to the basin in the event of it overflowing. (W. A line of large boulders has been added to the plan along the top of the slope adjacent to wetlands B and C, and above the infiltration basin to prevent future encroachment into these areas. B. STORMWATER RUNOFF ANALYSIS (Prepared by Dewsnap Engineering Associates, LLP, revision date June 6, 2005) 1. As noted above, proposed grades have been adjusted to allow runoff from most of the project work area to flow to the infiltration basin. 2. Because the area contributing to the infiltration basin has been increased,the basin capacity was increased from 1,250 cubic feet to 1,630 cubic feet. This is greater than of the 100-year storm runoff volume. 3. A sediment forebay"swale"has been added to remove coarse particulates prior to runoff entering the infiltration basin. This increases the calculated TSS removal from 80%to 85%based on design rates listed in the DEP Stormwater Management Policy. 4. The Operations and Maintenance Plan has been revised to include inspection and maintenance of the sediment swale. 5. Hydrograph Plots and Summaries have been revised. 6. Trapezoidal Channel Flow Calculations are now provided. 7. Cross section figures of the infiltration basin and spillway have also been included in the runoff analysis report. C.

Petitioner requests a Special Permit to change existing non-conforming to a W holesalel, Contractors Supply`Business for the property,located.at 120 Swampscott Road located ; in a Izone.. r The provision of the Salem Zoning Ordinance which is applicable to this request for a Special Permit is section 5-3 (2) (8), which provides as follows: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary appearing in this Ordinance, the Board of Appeal may, in accordance with the procedure and conditions set forth in Section 8-6 and 9-4, grant Special Permits for alterations and reconstruction of nonconforming structures, and for changes, enlargement, extension of expansion, of nonconforming lots, land, structures, and uses, provided however, that such change, extension, enlargement of expansion shall not be substantially more detrimental than the existing nonconforming use to the neighborhood. In more general terms, this Board is, when reviewing Special Permit requests, guided by the rule that a Special Permit request may be granted upon a finding by the Board that the grant of the Special Permit will promote the public health, safety, convenience and welfare of the City's inhabitants. A. Special conditions and circumstances exist which especially affect the land, building or structure involved and which are not generally affecting other lands, buildings or stuctures in the same district. B. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would involve Substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the petitioner. C. Desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and Without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent of the district or the purpose of the ordinance. The Board of Appeal, after careful consideration of the evidence presented, and after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact DECISION ON THE PETITION OF DANIEL HIBBARD d/b/a/AAA CLIMBERS INS. REQUESTING A SPECIAL PERMIT FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 120 SWAMPSCOTT ROAD II page two 1. Petitioner Daniel P. Hibbard of 23 Trifone Rd. Revere, owner of AAA Climbers Inc. of Saugus, Ma.entered a purchase and sale agreement for the purchase of an 6-acre property at 120 Swampscott Road that is presently mixed residential and commercial use. Since 1966, landowners Carmine and Angelo Mongiello have owned and operated a contracting business on the site, and have permitted renters to inhabit several homes on the property. 2. Petitioner represented by Lawrence A. Simone Jr., Esq. of Revere, seeks zoning relief to allow conversion of the use from a contracting business to a "retail wholesale contractor supply establishment'. Petitioner's business use includes the manufacture of wood chips from tree stumps, along with wholesale and retail sales of mulch and woodchips, tree removal, preparation and sale of lumber and firewood, ant the rental and storage of excavation equipment and vehicles. Petitioner also wishes to continue the residential use by permitting tenants to rent and use the existing houses on the site. 3. A private way from the subject property gives access to Swampscott Road. This access route is presently used by the Mongiellos and their tenants to reach the residential homes and the building where commercial trucks and equipment are stored. Petitioner will seek to provide access to the proposed business via a street known as Robinson Road, which they content is a city street Abutting owners Fred & Shirley Hutchinson of Mountain Realty Trust contest this assertion and their claim, that Robinson Road cannot be used as a public way, is currently being tested in court in litigation arising over an unrelated issue. For these purposes, it is sufficient to note that the abutters believe there is no appropriate access to the subject property via Robinson Road. 4 Appearing on behalf of his uncles the Mongiellos, Patrick Delulis, Esq. of Salem stated that the proposed use is consistent with the historic use of the property as a mixed commercial and residential property, and is consistent with the intention of the City of Salem to retain the site's commercial and industrial use. 5. Ward 3 City Councillor Joan Lovely made a site visit and recorded her reaction via a letter sent to the Board of Appeal. Ms. Lovely suggested that the existing trees along the Swampscott Road end of the property be left uncut to retain a noise buffer to prevent nuisance affecting the homeowners across Swampscott Rd. in the condominium complex, and Mr. Hibbard agree to make that a condition of the special permit. Ms. Lovely also noted that the Planning Board's assistance would be needed to assist petitioner in developing access to his business from Swampscott Road. Petitioner asserted that his project would obtain Planning Board review and approval. DECISION OF THE PETITION OF DANIEL HIBBARB d/b/a/AAA CLIMBERS INC REQUESTING A SPECIAL PERMIT FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 120 SWAMPSCOTT ROAD I. page three On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented at the hearing, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows; 1. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance would involve substantial hardship on the petitioner. 2. The relief requested can be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent of the district or the purpose of the ordinance. 3. The Special Permit granted can be granted in harmony with the neighborhood and will promote the public health, safety, convenience and welfare of the City's inhabitants. Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal voted 4 in favor and 0 in opposition, to grant the relief requested, subject to the following conditions: 1. Petitioner shall comply with all city and state statues, codes ordinances and regulations. 2. All requirements of the Salem Fire Department relative to smoke and safety shall be Strictly adhered to. 3. All construction shall be done per plans and dimensions submitted. 4. Petitioner shall obtain a building permit prior to beginning any construction 5. Petitioner shall obtain a Certificate of Inspection. 6. Petitioner shall obtain approval from any City Board or Commission having jurisdiction including, but not limited to the Planning Board. 7. Regulate hours of operations between dawn and dusk. 8. Petitioner shall avoid clearing buffer trees between business and residential. 9. Petitioner shall comply with noise ordinance. 10.

However, condition #1 on the decision issued for the Special Permit states that you must comply with all other city and State statues, codes, ordinances, and regulations. An investigation was recently conducted and it has been determined that you never filed with the Salem Conservation Commission prior to the work that is currently being conducted on your property at 120 Swampscott Road. The Special Permit granted relief from zoning to allow the use on that property, it did not permit the work that is currently being performed on site. Therefore, In accordance with the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (MGL Chapter 131, Section 40) and the Salem Wetlands Ordinance you are in violation of the following items: • Altering (clear-cutting vegetation) within a Buffer Zone to a Boarding Vegetated Wetland area without proper local & State filing. • Dumping and stockpiling of brush and materials in a Buffer Zone to a Boarding Vegetated Wetland. At this point, The Salem Conservation Commission requests that you stop all present work and ca ) 11 978 745-9595 ext 311 to discuss what type of filing you require. uire.

The first sheet corrects an error in the infiltration basin storage volume previously used in the text of the report(the storage volume values in the tables have not changed). A typographical error in the table listing the bottom elevation of the basin as 75 feet was also corrected to 76 feet on the attached sheet. 2. The second sheet provides a sketch of the area that does not flow to the infiltration basin due to elevation constraints at the site. This area is cross-hatched on the diagram. As can be seen, approximately half of the area reported in the runoff analysis as not draining to the infiltration basin is actually off the property, on Robinson Road.

The basin is designed to provide water quality treatment for stormwater runoff up to and including the 100- year storm event. Treatment will be achieved through a combination of sedimentation, filtration, nutrient uptake, and infiltration. Soils The texture of the topsoil within the infiltration basin and sediment swale will be sandy loam. The topsoil will be 6 to 12 inches deep. Organic matter content of the topsoil should be approximately 10%,and the soil shall not contain greater than 20%clay. If existing topsoil is too thin,too sandy, or does not contain sufficient organic content,the soil will be amended and/or additional appropriate topsoil brought in. Veeetation Grasses that can withstand periodic inundation and that will produce fine, uniform, and dense cover are proposed. The infiltration basin and swale will be seeded with the grass seed mix described below(or other mix approved by the Salem Conservation Commission). A seeding rate of approximately 1,250 s.f. per pound of seed is proposed. The proposed grass mix contains the following ratio of native species. • 2.0 lb of Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera,FACW); • 1.2 lb of Red fescue (Festuca rubra,FACU); • 0.8 lb of Virginia wildrye (Elymus virginicus,FACW-); • 0.8 lb of Canada wildrye(Elymus canadensis,FACU+); • 0.4 lb of Fowl bluegrass(Poa palustris,FACW). phone 978.745.6618 • fax978.741.8648 • GMRC204@earlhlink.net GULF OF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER, INC. As an alternative to seeding, the infiltration basin and swale areas may be sodded with creeping bentgrass to provide immediate cover. Maintenance During the first few months after seeding, while vegetation is becoming established, the basin and Swale will be inspected weekly and after major storm events. Once vegetation is well established,the basin and swale will be inspected as described in the Inspection and Maintenance Program included in the Runoff Analysis report submitted for the project. Reseeding will be done as needed to maintain uniform and dense cover. For optimum stormwater treatment, the infiltration basin and swale will be mowed a minimum of twice during the growing season. The grass should not be cut lower than 4 inches since this may reduce the filtering effectiveness of the vegetation. Grass clippings will be removed and disposed of in an appropriate upland location outside of any wetland resource area. When mowed, any debris present in the swale will also be removed and disposed of properly. Trees and shrubs will not be planted in the basin or swale, or on the basin embankment. Snow will not be stored within the basin. Snow storage on grassed or gravel areas adjacent to the basin and/or swale is allowable and preferred. Sincerely, C; � Joseph H.

The applicant is proposing construction of a circular gravel drive and associated ' site grading on property located at 120 Swampscott Road in Salem,Massachusetts(the "site"). Portions of this work are proposed to occur within the 100-foot Buffer Zone of a Bordering Vegetated Wetland and Inland Bank. No work is proposed within any . ' jurisdictional resource area. The property,which is identified as parcel 14 on Salem Assessors map 6, is presently owned by Mr. Carmine Mongiello and Mr. Angelo Mongiello. The property owners had been advised by the Salem Conservation ' Commission that prior to any work at the site a Notice of Intent should be filed due to the presence of wetlands on or near the property. The applicant contacted GMRC in the fall of 2004 to inspect the site with respect to the presence of jurisdictional wetlands. On 27 October 2004 and 9 November 2004, GMRC delineated the upper boundaries of vegetated wetlands at the site in accordance with state and federal regulations. Several subsequent site inspections were made to further evaluate site conditions. This report describes wetland Resource Areas present at the site in proximity to the proposed work,the wetland delineation methodology, and the ' activities proposed within jurisdictional areas. w ' GULF OF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC. 1.0 SITE DESCRIPTION 1.1 General The site is located in an Industrial "Zoned area southwest of Swampscott Road and southeast of Robinson Road in Salem, Massachusetts (see Figure 1, Site Locus), and borders on both these roads. The property consists of approximately 7.8 acres of land, with the northern portion of the site containing several dwellings and a garage, and the southern and western portions being undeveloped. Although undeveloped, most of the site has been disturbed historically by removal of sand and gravel, and ' remains disturbed to various degrees today. The proposed work is located on roughly the southern half of the site (see NOI Site Plans). ' 1.2 Topo2raphy and Water Bodies/Waterways Elevations at the Site range from approximately 92 feet near the center of the ' site, to approximately 46 feet near the juncture of Robinson Road with Swampscott Road. Slopes at the site range from nearly level at the south end to very steep in some areas along the southeast end of the property. Site drainage is generally radial from the site high point toward low lying depressions,wetlands and a stream. Southwest of the site is a large wetland consisting of a deep marsh with open water(likely sufficient in area to be considered a pond). This wetland drains northeast through a stream that initially flows within the Robinson Road right-of-way adjacent to the site property line,then under ' Robinson Road onto the site, then into a culvert(on site)that carries the stream under Swampscott Road to its discharge point on the east side of Swampscott Road. This drainage is clearly the outlet stream for the large wetland system southwest of the ' site, and eventually flows into the Forest River upstream of Thompson Meadow. ' An additional drainage.channel from the marsh was apparently created recently by someone excavating a ditch across(through)Robinson Road just south of the site. This has resulted in increased flooding, with higher and more permanent water levels, within a wetland on the site. This site wetland drains along the eastern ' end of the property via a deep"ravine" or"gully"that was apparently created many years ago during gravel and sand removal operations. Older USGS Topographic ' maps show no indication of this gully, and also show the stream along Robinson Road(i.e., along the west side of the site) as the outlet from the pond, as is clearly apparent in the field today. The 1946 and 1949 Lynn Topographic maps show ' elevations at the east end of the site roughly 10 to 12 feet higher than current maps. Based on the aerial photo and survey dates for these maps, it appears that this area was excavated sometime between approximately 1940 and 1969. It also appears that after this excavation occurred, aerial photo interpretation was complicated by the gully, and the stream was shown where it appeared based on photos. The 1970 Lynn Topographic map actually shows a stream along the southeast property boundary flowing uphill. The pond outlet stream was probably drawn(erroneously)within the gully based on newer aerial photos, while the topography was from an older, pre- excavation survey.

' The current USGS Topographic map indicates a perennial stream flowing along the east end of the site from the pond/marsh. However, field inspection determined there clearly is no perennial stream along the cast property border of the ' site. The stream that flows along the west end of the site, along Robinson Road(as described above), was flowing on every site inspection made. However, this stream is not shown on the current USGS topographic map, and is therefore presumed ' intermittent under the Regulations. Because of the clearly inaccurate USGS map, additional factors were investigated to evaluate whether the stream along the west end of the site, (i.e., along Robinson Road) was perennial or intermittent. These are ' discussed in further detail later in this report. ' 1.3 Flood Zones The FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map for the site(Community Panel Number 250102 0005 B, August 5, 1985) is included in Figure 2. Based on this map, the site ' is within Zone C,which indicates an area of minimal flooding. The closest 100-year flood zone indicated on this map is located approximately 1,000 feet east of the site across Swampscott Road, and is associated with Thompsons Meadow. 1.4 Salem Wetland District ' Under the Salem Zoning Ordinance(Paragraph P), Wetland Districts are defined as ".-the areas designated on the maps titled "Wetland Areas of Salem, Massachusetts",Nos. 01 through 31, prepared by Dr. Jerome Long, dated March 15, ' 1977, ...". Based on these maps,the southem portion of the site along the marsh contains a wetland district described as "Shaded Swamp,Dry at Surface" connected to a"Firm Bottom Drainage Swale" along the eastern end of the site(this is the "gully" described previously). ' The outlet stream from the pond, along Robinson Road, is shown on the map as "Shaded Swamp, Water at Surface". It is interesting to note that the pond/marsh is labeled on the Salem Wetland Map as a "Shaded Swamp, Water at Surface, and Shrub Bog". If this was accurate, it may indicate a change in hydrology within the pond/marsh area toward wetter conditions. 1.5 Soils ' As indicated on the NRCS (SCS) Soil Survey Map(Figure 3), soils at the Site are mapped as Chatfield-Hollis-Rock outcrop, 15-35%slopes (CrD). Hollis soils are shallow, somewhat excessively drained upland soils, and Chatfield soils are moderately deep,well drained upland soils. Freetown muck is also mapped at or in 1 close proximity to the site, associated with the marsh southwest of the site.

' As described in the Soil Survey Manual, potential hydric soil inclusions within the Chatfield-Hollis-Rock outcrop soils include Freetown, Swansea, Whitman, and Ridgebury. ' Soils were inspected at the site by hand auguring at locations along the delineated wetland boundary. Soil characteristics were closely examined to verify whether the soils at each auger location were hydric or non-hydric. In undisturbed locations, soil characteristics were generally consistent with the soils described in the survey. Based on field observations, hydric soils are present within an isolated ' depression adjacent to Robinson Road at the south end of the site,and within the site wetland being flooded due to the ditch excavated through Robinson Road. Based on the depth of organic soil and vegetation, it is apparent that soils within the wetland being flooded were hydric prior to the ditch being excavated. Soils are described in the Wetland Delineation Field Data Sheets(Appendix A of this report). ' 1.6 Vegetation Vegetation within the site wetlands and adjacent uplands is described in the ' attached Wetland Delineation Field Data Sheets(Appendix A). The primary wetland type at the site is red maple swamp,with the wetland tree layer dominated by red maple(Acer rubrum,FAC). Species such as green ash(Fraxinus pennsylvanica, FACW),American elm(Ulmus americana,FACW-),and eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides,FAC)are also present in varying amounts Iwithin the site wetlands. Common herbaceous vegetation observed within site:wetlands included. - 'r species such as sensitive fem(Onoclea sensibilis,FACW),jewel weed(Impatiens capensis,FACW),cinnamon fern(Osmunda cinnamomea,FACW)and poison ivy. (Toxicodendron radicans,FAC). 1.7 Rare Species Habitat ' The maps of Estimated Habitats of Rare Wildlife and Certified Vernal Pools included in the most recent edition of the Massachusetts Natural Heritage Atlas (I lffi Edition(CD),2003) shows no rare wildlife habitats or certified vernal pools at or in close proximity to the site. The closest such habitat shown on this map is associated with Thompsons Meadow, approximately 1,000 feet east of the site(Figure 4). I ! 1.8 Vernal Pools The location of Certified Vernal Pools is also indicated in Figure 4. As can be seen in this figure, there are no Certified Vernal Pools located at or in close proximity to the site. No Potential Vernal Pools are mapped at or in close proximity to,the site by the NHESP in their Aerial Photo Survey of Potential Vernal Pools, Spring 2001. The wetland on the site being flooded due to the excavated ditch through ' !

Prior to the ditch being excavated, it appears that this wetland likely did not contain ponded water long enough to function as a vernal pool. ' 2.0 WETLAND DELINEATION GMRC delineated the upper jurisdictional boundary of vegetated wetlands at the site in accordance with state and federal regulations. Wetlands at the site were delineated on 27 October 2004 and 9 November 2004. The upper vegetated wetland boundary was delineated in the field based on observed vegetation, soils and other evidence of wetland hydrology as described in the j 1995 DEP BVW Delineation Handbook'. Areas with a vegetative community comprised ' of 50% or more dominant wetland indicator species, which also exhibited evidence of hydric soils, were delineated as Bordering Vegetated Wetland. Wetland indicator plants were considered those species with an indicator status of FAC,FAC+,FACW-,FACW, ' FACW+,and OBL. Identifying characteristics of hydric soils are described in the DEP BVW Delineation Handbook and in more detail in Field Indicators for Identifying Hydric Soils in New England2. The WW delineation was based on the 1987 Federal Manual and . ' included the area of an isolated depression that exhibited wetland hydrology,hydric soils, and hydrophytic vegetation. General vegetative composition and soil characteristics were recorded within four plots on the site located near where proposed work is closest to the wetland boundary. Descriptions of plot vegetative communities are provided in the attached Delineation Field Data Sheets(Appendix A). Blue surveyor flagging was tied to vegetation at approximately 20-foot intervals along the delineated vegetated wetland boundaries. Flag series that delineate the wetland boundaries at the site were labeled: • A-1 through A-7, (Isolated Vegetated Wetland),and • B-1 through B-7(presently BVW,but apparently was IVW prior to the I ditch being excavated through Robinson Road). ' 3.0 RESOURCE AREAS ' The Wetland Resource Areas present at or near the site that are under the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act include Bordering Vegetated Wetland (BVW)and Inland Bank Land Under Water is likely present within the ' pond since it probably does not dry completely in most years,but the seasonal low water location is well off site and was not determined. In addition,a federal jurisdictional 1 � 'Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection,March 1995.

Field Indicators for Identifying Hydric Soils in New England, New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission. Wilmington,MA. Welland Report—Proposed Driveway and Site Grading, 120 Swampscott Roacr:Salem,MA pg. 9 of 16 ' GULF OF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC. (non-state) Isolated Vegetated Wetland (IVW) is also present on the site (A-series wetland flags). The wetland delineated with the B-series flags is presently a Bordering Vegetated Wetland because it is connected to the pond via the ditch excavated through Robinson Road. When Robinson Road was intact, this wetland would have been isolated from the ' pond and therefore would be a federal (non-state)jurisdictional Isolated Vegetated Wetland. In addition, wetland B appears too small to have contained the required volume of water to be considered Isolated Land Subject to Flooding(ILSF)prior to the ' ditch being excavated. One distinction between a BVW and an IVW is that an IVW does not have a Buffer Zone. Since it appears the ditch was recently created without any permit, this wetland(Welland"B") would still be isolated if not for this impermitted ' activity. Because of this,no Buffer Zone is shown from Wetland"B" on the Notice of ' Intent site plan. The Buffer Zone at the site is drawn from the approximate edge of the BV W along the south side of Robinson Road rather than from Wetland B. The Buffer Zone from the top of the Inland Bank associated with the pond outlet stream(along ' Robinson Road) is also shown on the site plan. The current USGS topographic map shows a stream located on the east side of the site as perennial, and under the Regulations, it would be presumed to have a Riverfront Area. However,based on site inspections, it is clear that there is no perennial stream in the location indicated on the USGS map., In addition,based on information reviewed, it is my opinion that the actual outlet stream from the.pond,which flows roughly parallel to ' Robinson Road on the west side of the site,is intermittent,and therefore there is no Riverfront Area on the site. Under the Riverfront regulations, a stream shown as intermittent or not shown on the most recent USGS topographic map Js presumed perennial if it has a watershed of I ' square mile or more. In addition, streams with watersheds as small as 0.5 square mile are presumed perennial if the surficial geology of the watershed contains at least 75% stratified drift. Therefore,the watershed of the stream flowing through the west side of ' the site,along Robinson Road, was evaluated. As indicated in Figure 5,the total watershed contributing to this stream above the site is approximately 0.26 square mile, or only half the minimum possible area In addition,as shown in Figure 6,the surficial geology of the entire watershed is till or bedrock(no stratified drift). Therefore, the actual outlet stream from the pond, which is ' not shown on the USGS topographic map, is intermittent since the watershed is too small and lacking sufficient stratified drift to be considered perennial. 4.0 PROPOSED ACTIVITIES The proposed project includes construction of an'approximately 25 foot wide by ' 475 foot long circular gravel drive at the site. The driveway will begin and end on Robinson Road.

' site access for the applicants business (AAA Tree Services). Grades will be lowered a maximum of approximately 14 feet. Portions of the driveway as well as associated grading are located within the Buffer Zones of a Bordering Vegetated Wetland and Inland Bank. Refer to the NOI Site Plan for additional details(NO] Attachment 2). The project is a Buffer Zone Project, no work is proposed within any jurisdictional wetland resource area(state or federal). At the closest points,the proposed work is approximately 15 feet from the edge of vegetated wetlands or the stream. The work is separated from the stream by Robinson Road. ' All soils disturbed by excavation work will be stabilized by seeding with an appropriate grass seed mix or other method approved by the Conservation Commission. Sediment barriers consisting of filter fabric and hay bales are proposed in areas where work will occur in relative close proximity to wetlands and the stream to prevent potential erosion into these resource areas. 4.1 Performance Standards for Bordering Vegetated Wetlands The General Performance Standards for Bordering Vegetated Wetlands state that: a) Any proposed work in a Bordering Vegetated Wetland shall not destroy or otherwise impair any portion of said area: ➢ No work is proposed within the BV W(or any other Resource Area). ➢ Sediment barriers will be installed to prevent potential erosion into the resource areas and to delineate the limit of work. ➢ Sediment barriers will be inspected regularly during and after iconstruction and repaired as necessary until soils are stabilized. b) The issuing authority may permit work which results in the loss of up to 5000 square feet of BVW when said area is replaced in accordance with the general conditions and any additional conditions the issuing authority deems necessary. ➢ Does not apply to this project,no work or alterations are proposed within the BV W. c) The issuing authority may permit work which results in the loss of a j portion of Bordering Vegetated Wetlands when: ' 1. Said portion has a surface area less than 500 square feet; 2. Said portion extends in a distinct linear configuration("inger-like') into adjacent uplands; and 3. In the judgment of the issuing authority it is not reasonable to scale down, redesign or otherwise change the proposed work so that it could be completed without loss of said wetland. :I I Wetland Report-Proposed Drtyeway and Site Grading, 120 Swampscott Roan Salem,MA pg. 13 of 16 f , ' GULF OF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC. � i Does not apply to this project, no work or alterations are proposed within the BVW. ' d) No project may be permitted which will have any adverse effect on specified habitat sites of rare vertebrate or invertebrate species, as described under 310 CMR 10.59. No work is proposed within any specified habitat of rare vertebrate or invertebrate species. No mapped habitats does exist on or in close ' proximity the site. Therefore, the Regulations do not require a copy of the NOI to be sent to the Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program. I e) Any proposed work shall not destroy or otherwise impair any portion of a Bordering Vegetated Wetland that is within an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (except under certain conditions as described in the Regulations). ➢ No ACEC is present at or near the site. 4.2 Performance Standards for Inland Banks The General Performance Standards for Inland Banks are as follows;: a) any proposed work on an Inland Bank shall not impair the following: 1. The physical stability of the Bank; 2. The water carrying capacity of the existing channel within the Bank, 3. Ground and surface water quality, ' 4. The capacity of the Bank to provide-breeding habitat, escape cover and food for fisheries; 5. The capacity of the Bank to provide important wildlife habitat functions: ➢ No work is proposed on the Inland Bank(or any other Resource Area). b) Structures may be permitted in or on an Inland Bank when required to prevent food damage to facilities, buildings and roads constructed prior to April 1, 1983. ➢ Does not apply to this project, no structures are proposed on the Bank c) No project maybe permitted which will have any adverse effect,on.. . specified habitat sites of rare vertebrate or invertebrate species, as described under 310 CMR 10.59. e ➢ No work is proposed within any specified habitat of rare vertebrate or i invertebrate species. No mapped habitats do exist on or in close Wetland Report—Proposed Driveway and Site Grading, 120 Swampscott Roac4 Salem,W pg. 14 of 16 ' GULF OF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC. proximity the site. Therefore, the Regulations do not require a copy of the NOl to be sent to the Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program. 4.3 Potential Impacts on Protected Wetland Interests a) Protection of Public and Private Water Supply: ➢ Sediment barriers will be installed to prevent erosion during ' construction and until disturbed soils are stabilized. ➢ No impervious area is proposed. ' b) Protection of Groundwater Supply: 1 ➢ No impervious area is proposed. ➢ No groundwater withdrawls are proposed. ' c) Flood Control: ➢ No FEMA 100-year flood zones(i.e.,Bordering Land Subject to Flooding)will be altered so there will be no loss of flood storage ' volume. ➢ No new impervious area is proposed. I d) Storm Damage Prevention: ➢ See"c"above. ' e) Prevention of Pollution: ➢ See"a7 and"b" above. ' J) Protection of Fisheries: ➢ No nearby water bodies or waterways are listed as warm or coldwater ' fisheries in the Surface Water Quality Standards. However, fish populations are present in the marsh/pond south of the site. Work will be downstream of this wetland, and separated from it by Robinson Road and a sediment barrier. ➢ The stream likely has low value as a fishery due to intermittent flows. However it contributes to the Thompsons Meadow wetlands,which likely have fish populations. No vegetation is proposed to be cut from the stream banks so thermal alterations should be minor. Wetland Report—Proposed Driveway and Site Grading, 120 Swampscott Road Salem,MA pg. 15 of 16 I ' GULF Or MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC. rg) Protection of Wildlife Habitat: No direct alteration of BVW or Inland Bank habitat is proposed. Y A minimum setback of approximately 15 feet is proposed from the resource areas. 5.0 SUMMARY ' This Wetland Report has been prepared on behalf of the applicant, AAA Tree Service,to accompany a Notice of Intent being filed with the Salem Conservation Commission. The upper boundary of jurisdictional Wetland Resource Areas present at the site(BVW and IVW) have been delineated in accordance with Massachusetts and federal wetland regulations. No activities proposed under this Notice of Intent are within any Wetland Resource Area. A portion of the proposed work is within the Buffer Zones to a Bordering Vegetated Wetland and Inland Bank. Approximately 0.45 acre(19,269 square feet)of alteration is proposed within the Buffer Zone, which includes construction of a driveway and associated site grading. At the closest point,the proposed work will be approximately l5 feet from a resource area boundary. The work,as proposed, should not result in any decrease in the ability of the adjacent BVW and Inland Bank to perform functions protected under the Massachusetts 1 Wetland Protection Act. i r iseph Id.
