This neighborhood exemplifies the City's efforts after the fire to reform multi-family housing under the direction of the Salem Rebuilding Commission. The Point's distinctive Colonial Revival brick in apartment buildings share similar classical detailing such as decorative brick corbelling and classical cast stone detailing, including the eleven buildings owned by the North Shore CDC on Peabody, Ward, and Harbor Streets that are seeking Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits. The City surveyed the buildings of Ward and Peabody Streets (Salem Area Form GW) in 1989 and completed a neighborhood survey of the Point in 2006, identifying the neighborhood as a potential National Register District. The North Shore CDC's rehabilitation of eleven historic multi-family buildings containing 77 affordable rental units will support several goals of the City: 1) to preserve and revitalize the historic Point neighborhood and 2) to maintain and improve affordable housing options in Salem.; State Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits will be critical in reaching these goals. The Salem Historical Commission urges the Massachusetts Historical Commission to look favorably on the , North Shore CDC's application for Massachusetts Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits. { Sincere .Tess i Herbert Chair March 6, 2013 F Ms. Brona Simon Executive Director & Deputy SHPO Massachusetts Historical Commission 220 Morrissey Boulevard Boston, MA 02125 RE: Massachusetts Preservation Projects Fund Round 19 Application North Street Fire Station, Hose Company#6, Station#2, Engine Company#2 Dear Ms. Simon: The Salem Historical Commission is pleased to provide this letter in support of the City of Salem's application for a Massachusetts Preservation Projects Fund Grant to undertake work to restore and preserve features of the historic North Street Fire Station. This historically significant fire station is the oldest one in Salem still serving its original purpose, and exhibits superb Victorian architectural details worthy of careful preservation. The 1881 brick building displays an eclectic mix of ornamentation indicative of Queen Anne style, including decorative brick work, front gable, architectural second-story window, and segmental arch below. The MPPF grant will enable the City to repair the windows (including the large arched window in the center of the front fagade), replace vinyl windows with historically accurate wood window sashes, and complete appropriate re-pointing of the brick, including decorative brick belt courses and corbelled brick cornice. The Salem Historically Commission strongly recommends that this application be fully funded and appreciates your review and consideration. Sincerely, Jessica B. Herbert Chair March 6, 2013 Ms. Brona Simon Executive Director&Deputy SHPO Massachusetts Historical Commission 220 Morrissey Boulevard Boston, MA 02125 Dear Ms. Simon: f The Salem Historical Commission is pleased to provide this letter in support of the Salem Public Library's application for a Massachusetts Preservation Projects Fund Grant. The Library is located within Salem's McIntire Historic District and is an excellent, active and heavily used library with the highest circulation of any library in the Noble system on the North Shore. The building was originally built in 1855 as the home of famed ship Captain John Bertram, and is a rich example of High Renaissance Italianate architecture in distinctive brick detail. After Captain Bertram's death, his heirs donated the building to the City to be used as a public library, and opened its doors upon renovation in 1889. Currently, the Salem Public Library is suffering from extensive wood deterioration and dry rot at the exterior window sills and surrounding wood frames and trim areas in the 1855 Mansion, the 1911 East Wing, and the 1911 West Wing portions of the building. Paints and finishes on many of the historic wood elements have become worn, weathered and lost over the years, leading to ' progressive decay that is visible both under and beside many of the windows. The Library now proposes to continue and extend the program of needed weather envelope repairs started with its MPPF Round 13 Grant by temporarily removing window sashes in the areas that are deteriorated and to completely repair where possible, and rebuild were necessary, the rotted areas using more weather resistant wood, such as Spanish cedar or mahogany. Restoration of paints and finishes would be followed by reinstallation of the window sashes to complete the project. The Salem Historical Commission strongly supports full funding of this project, and respectfully requests your favorable response. Sincerely, Jessica B. Herbert, Chair - .w ry t;Co� 0rytryg �, ,00 � SALEM PUBLIC LIBRARY 370 Essex Street "jc;N ""a� O ��� Salem, Massachusetts 01.970 NANCY TRACY,Director A � February 4, 2013 Salem Historical Commission 120 Washington Street Salem, MA 01970 Dear Salem Historical Commisssion: The Salem Public Library is applying for a Massachusetts Preservation Projects Fund Grant. The High Renaissance Italianate building was erected in 1855 as the home of Captain John Bertram. After his death his heirs donated the building to the city to be used as a public library. The building was renovated and opened as a library in 1889. As a part of the grant application we need to submit letters showing community support for this project. I am writing to ask the Salem Historical Commission to write a letter expressing its support for our project and our application. The library is located in the Historic McIntire District. It is a very active and vital institution. The library has the highest circulation of any on the North Shore. Many area residents use the library for study and research as well as for recreational reading. It is also a tremendous resource in l supporting literacy for young children. An inspection of the windows was done which disclosed the presence of dry rot. If not corrected, in the future water from a driving rain could get through and the stability of the aluminum sashes would be compromised. The project will include removing and replacing the exterior sills and trim moldings as well as the frames of the windows with a rot resistant wood such as Spanish cedar or mahogany. ; Your letter of support will be greatly appreciated. The letter may be addressed to: Ms. Brona Simon Executive Director & Deputy SHPO Massachusetts Historical Commission 220 Morrissey Boulevard Boston, MA 02125 If possible we are asking that your letter of support be returned to the library by February 28, 2013. We will enclose your letter with our grant application. If it would be helpful we would be glad to pick up your letter. Please call me if you have any questions (978-744-0860). Sincerely, .2GG� Nancy Tracy Director f ! ROBERT D. FARLEY ASSOCIATES MIR ARCHITECTS June 12, 1012 Salem Public Library 370 Essex Street Salem, MA. 01970 c Art: Nancy Tracy, Director Dear Nancy, i On April 04, 2012 I inspected the exterior wood sills, and the jamb and head moldings of two second floor windows.All of the wood sills are partially dry rotted. (See photo #1). The wood jamb moldings are dry rotted at the lower ends where they contact.the sill. (See photo's #2 )They are partially spongy which will not hold paint. In order to determine the full extent of the dry rotting behind the aluminum sash it was necessary to remove a second floor sash to examine the condition of the concealed window frame. This was accomplished by Roger Tremblay. The wood jamb, lett side was dry rotted at the base..(See photo #2). The right side was better but was showing the beginnings of dry rot at the base. (See photo#3). The upper portions of the windows are in better shape although the exterior trim moldings are showing the beginnings of dry rot. (See photos #4 ). Given the above evidence, it is apparent that the exterior sills and trim moldings are slowly rotting away and should be removed and replaced with a rot resistant wood such as Spanish cedar or mahogany. The wood frames of the test window showed enough dry rot to require replacement. Ifwe assume that all windows are in a similar condition it would be advisable to replace all frames at this time. The cost for this work will be approximately$85,000. (See attached Tremblay estimate) If certain windows prove to be in good condition and could remain as is, the price could be reduced by approximately$1,800 per window. Firm prices would be obtained from contractors based on specifications prepared for public bidding. Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions on the above. Ve tml yours, �'[��.

January 25,2013 oM��N RE: SALEM, Causeway Park Construction Project(605121) Section 106 Review Jessica Herbert,Chairperson Salem Historical Commission 120 Washington Street, 3rd Floor Salem, MA 01970 Dear Ms. Herbert: The Massachusetts Department of Transportation(MassDOT)is proposing to construct the above-noted project in Salem as one of the final mitigation components under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, for the Salem-Beverly Transportation Project. The Federal Highway Administration(FHWA), the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation,and the State Historic Preservation Officer executed a Section 106 Memorandum of Agreement(MOA)for the Salem-Beverly Transportation Project in 1992. The Salem Historical Commission(SHC) and the Salem Planning Department were concurring parties to that MOA. MassDOT, therefore, is providing the enclosed documentation for review and comment by the SHC and the Salem Planning Department under the terms of the MOA. Please note that MassDOT will construct the Harborfront Walkway Extension project in Beverly under the same contract as Causeway Park in Salem. MassDOT is submitting project documentation to the Beverly Historic District Commission and the Beverly Planning Department concurrently with this submittal. The Salem portion of this project involves construction of a landscaped park and paved parking area on the abandoned causeway that formerly supported the Bridge Street(Route IA) approach roadway at the southerly end of the Essex Bridge. That bridge was a riveted steel pony truss swing bridge with timber pile approach spans that had been constructed over the Danvers River in 1896 and was replaced on a new alignment in the early 1990s. Selected project plans are enclosed for review by the SHC. The plans illustrate the extent of the proposed work on Causeway Park,including installation of a new timber deck on the existing timber piles at the northerly end of the causeway. The plans also show the proposed ornamental Leading the Nation In Transportation Excellence - Ten Park Plaza,Suite 4260,Boston,MA 02116 www.mass.gov/mmsdot steel pedestrian railings, ornamental light poles, and street furniture that will be installed as part of the project. Please submit any written comments that the SHC may wish to make regarding this project to Thomas Broderick, P.E., Chief Engineer, Massachusetts Department of Transportation, 10 Park Plaza, Boston, MA' 02116-3973, Attn: Jeffrey Shrimpton. Please submit written comments within 30 calendar days following receipt of this packet. MassDOT will'submit a formal Section 106 effect finding to the SHPO through FH WA following the end of the comment period. If you have any questions concerning this project,please feel free to call me at 857-368-8824.

The Salem Lateral Project will deliver critically needed natural gas supplies to meet immediate and future supply requirements at the Salem Harbor Station facility, which is proposed for redevelopment by Footprint Power Salem Harbor Development, LP (Footprint). The target in-service date for Algonquin's Salem Lateral Project is November 1,2015. The Salem Lateral Project will consist of the following facilities(see attached maps): • Construction of approximately 1.2-miles of new 16-inch diameter lateral pipeline; and • Construction of a new metering and regulating(M&R)station. The Salem Lateral Project pipeline route crosses both onshore and offshore areas. The onshore portion of the pipeline is routed in two distinct segments across existing and former industrial properties in Salem for a distance of approximately 0.5-miles. Algonquin plans to install the remaining 0.7-miles of the 1.2- mile lateral pipeline offshore in Beverly Harbor and across Collins Cove using two horizontal directional drills (HDDs) to minimize impacts to marine resources. Algonquin is in the process of collecting data from geotechnical borings to evaluate the feasibility of installing these two segments of the lateral beneath Beverly Harbor and Collins Cove using HDD techniques. Algonquin anticipates that the feasibility evaluation will be completed by January 2014. Algonquin's proposed Salem Lateral Project alignment also requires installation of the pipeline below Beverly Harbor from the entry/exit point of the HDD over to the tie-in with the HubLine pipeline, a distance of approximately 150 feet. Algonquin is evaluating the approach to install the pipeline efficiently while minimizing disturbance from the HDD entry/exit area to the tie-in location with the HubLine pipeline. 26 Main Street Pawtucket, HI 02860 1401.728,8780 Main 401.728.8784 Fax palinc.com Lovett, Salem Historical Commission Algonquin Salem Lateral Project December 6, 2013 Page 12 FERC will conduct a full review of the Salem Lateral Project under its regulations in compliance with the NGA and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). On October 31, 2013, Algonquin requested approval from the FERC to initiate the Pre-filing Review Process for the Salem Lateral Project and the FERC issued its approval of Algonquin's Pre-filing request on November 4, 2013, under Docket#PF14- 5-000. The Pre-filing Review Process provides all stakeholders (including federal, state, and local agencies, landowners, and local citizens) the opportunity for early cooperation and involvement in evaluating the project prior to filing a formal application with the FERC. Following the Pre-filing Process, Algonquin will file a formal application for review and approval from the FERC, and numerous other agencies. Consequently, the Project is being reviewed under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (36 CFR 800). The permit proceedings, which will be conducted by these agencies, will provide additional opportunity for public input and involvement. The FERC application is currently targeted to be filed in July 2014. All other agency applications are planned to be filed in a similar time-frame. The Public Archaeology Laboratory, Inc. (PAL)has been contracted by Algonquin to address the Section 106 concerns of the FERC; the Massachusetts Historical Commission, the office of the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO); Native American groups; and other consulting parties. On behalf of Algonquin, and pursuant to the Section 106 process, PAL is presenting the Project information herein as a means to formally initiate consultation with your office and solicit your comments on the proposed Salem Lateral Project. On behalf of Algonquin, PAL looks forward to working with the Salem Historical Commission on the proposed Salem Lateral Project.

Algonquin is evaluating the approach to install the pipeline efficiently while minimizing disturbance from the HDD entry/exit area to the tie-in location with the HubLine pipeline. 26 Main Street Pawtucket, 8102860 1401.728.8780 Main j 401.728.87a4 Fax palinc.com Lovett, Salem Historical Commission - Algonquin Salem Lateral Project December 6, 2013 Page/2 FERC will conduct a full review of the Salem Lateral Project under its regulations in compliance with the NGA and the National Environmental Policy Act(NEPA). On October 31, 2013, Algonquin requested approval from the FERC to initiate the Pre-filing Review Process for the Salem Lateral Project and the FERC issued its approval of Algonquin's Pre-filing request on November 4, 2013, under Docket #PF14- 5-000. The Pre-filing Review Process provides all stakeholders (including federal, state, and local agencies, landowners, and local citizens) the opportunity for early cooperation and involvement in evaluating the project prior to filing a formal application with the FERC. Following the Pre-filing Process, Algonquin will file a formal application for review and approval from the FERC, and numerous other agencies. Consequently, the Project is being reviewed under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (36 CFR 800). The permit proceedings, which will be conducted by these agencies, will provide additional opportunity for public input and involvement. The FERC application is currently targeted to be filed in July 2014. All other agency applications are planned to be filed in a similar time-frame. The Public Archaeology Laboratory, Inc. (PAL)has been contracted by Algonquin to address the Section 106 concerns of the FERC; the Massachusetts Historical Commission, the office of the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO); Native American groups; and other consulting parties. On behalf of Algonquin,and pursuant to the Section 106 process,PAL is presenting the Project information herein as a means to formally initiate consultation with your office and solicit your comments on the proposed Salem Lateral Project. On behalf of Algonquin, PAL looks forward to working with the Salem Historical Commission on the proposed Salem Lateral Project:If you have any questions or require additional information,please do not hesitate to contact Suzanne G. Cherau, Principal Investigator, or me, at your convenience. We appreciate your time and attention to this matter. Sincerely, Gregory R. Dubell,RPA'\ Energy Projects Manager Enclosures cc: Sabrina K.

Street and 285 Canal Street or 265 and 285 Loring Street, Salem, MA; MHC# RC.32384 Dear Mr. Adelman: The Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC) is in receipt of a Project Notification Form (PNF) for the project referenced above, received at this office on November 8, 2013. After review of the information submitted and MHC files, staff of the MHC has the following comments. The proposed project involves demolition of two structures on the Salem State University Campus, that, according to the materials you submitted are located at either 265 and 285 Canal Street or 265 and 285 Loring Street. The structure located at 265 Canal Street (SAL.1894), historically known as the Salem Iron Foundry, is included in MHC's Inventory of Historic and Archaeological Assets of the Commonwealth. The Salem Iron Foundry is largely intact to its 1989 configuration documented on MHC inventory form SAL.1984, with the exception of the loss or covering over of the east elevation slate sheathing noted on the MHC inventory form with the words "Salem Foundry" painted in bold lettering. The elevation,which in 1989 also showed evidence of window and door openings, is now entirely covered with composite wood sheathing panels and in a deteriorated condition,which has affected its historical integrity. The structure located at 285 Canal Street, not presently in MHC's inventory, is the former Atwood& Morrill Company and is associated with the structure at 70 Loring Avenue, which is included in MHC's inventory (SAL.1896)and is otherwise known at the F.F. Stanley Motor Company Building. The Atwood &Morrill Company was established in central Salem in 1900, and relocated to Canal Street after the Salem Fire of 1914. The company manufactured steam valves for New England mills; and during World War 11 for navy ships. In the 1950s it began to manufacture valves for nuclear power plants. After 2003 Atwood and Morrill became part of Weir Valves and Control, a Scottish based company). The Canal Street manufacturing operation relocated from this Salem site to Ipswich in 2008. A connected office building was added at 285 Canal St in 1953. Construction dates of earlier buildings are not presently known, but the extant complex is intact to its mid-20th century configuration. The structure located at 285 Canal Street abuts the Salem Diner property at 70A Loring, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. 220 Morrissey Boulevard, Boston, Massachusetts 02125 (617) 727-8470•Pax: (617) 727-5128 www.sec.state.ma.us/mhc The MHC recommends that Salem State University take into account the historical significance of the Atwood & Morrill Company building at 70 Loring Avenue (SAL.1896) and the Salem Diner(SAL.1895) in its future management of the university campus. These comments are offered to assist in compliance with M.G.L. Chapter 9, sections 26-27C (950 CMR 71.00) and MEPA (301 CMR 11.03(10)).

MHC # RC.55087. Dear Mr. Webster: Staff of the Massachusetts Historical Commission(MHC), office of the Massachusetts State Historic Preservation Officer, have reviewed the Project Notification Form (PNF), received November 14, 2013, for the project referenced above and have the following comments. The proposed project includes the construction of the replacement underground S-145/T-146 115 kV electrical transmission line, including new duct bank and manhole system within multiple streets from the Salem Harbor Substation to the Canal Street Substation in Salem. The project requires a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NODES) construction permit from the Environmental Protection Agency. The MHC will review the project under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966; as amended (36 CFR 800) and looks forward to consultation with EPA. One area of the project within Leavitt Street, between Congress Street and Lafayette Street, includes the Lagrange Street Site (19-ES-640), a Native American burial site discovered in the 19th century in Leavitt Street formerly known as Lagrange Street. The MHC.requests that a program of archaeological monitoring be conducted for the project impact area within Leavitt Street between Congress Street and Lafayette Street to assist to identify any unmarked human burials. A State Archaeologist's Permit(950 CMR 70) should be submitted to the MHC by a qualified professional archaeologist with experience in urban archaeology and New England Native American unmarked grave identification. In the event that an unmarked human burial is discovered during the project, construction activities at the location should be stopped,the location protected, and the MHC immediately contacted in compliance with the Massachusetts Unmarked Burial Law and 36 CFR 800. 220 Morrissey Boulevard, Boston, Massachusetts 02125 (617) 727-8470 • Fax: (617) 727-5128 www.sec.state.ma.us/mhc These comments are offered to assist in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (36 CFR 800) and the Massachusetts Unmarked Burial Law(M.

Galvin Secretary of the Commonwealth Chairman, Massachusetts Historical Commission 220 Morrissey Boulevard Boston, MA 02125 RE: 92-96 Lafayette Street Massachusetts Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit application Dear Secretary Galvin: I am writing to express the support of the Salem Historical Commission for Strega Realty Trust's application for Massachusetts Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits for the redevelopment of 92-96 Lafayette Street, known as the Zina Goodell Block and Canadian Klondike Club, in Salem, Massachusetts. This neo-classical, brick, commercial property was built as part of the reconstruction of Salem after the 1914 Great Salem Fire. It is one of the more richly detailed examples of the commercial construction found at the north end of Lafayette Street. Since 2002, Strega Realty Trust has completed extensive repairs and restoration work on the exterior and interior of the building, the result of which has transformed the property and made a major contribution to revitalizing this important neighborhood. On behalf of the Salem Historical Commission, I urge the Massachusetts Historical Commission to support this work by looking favorably upon Strega Realty Trust's application for Massachusetts Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits.

While your buildings at Pickering Wharf are just outside the "Derby Street Historic District", and thus, are not governed by the historic guidelines, we encourage all of the commercial neighbors to the District to follow as closely as possible the historic recommendations for repairs and replacements. In doing so, all huildings along Derby Street will provide a continuous, harmonious and sympathetic reference to this important historic area, which is the very element that draws tourists and their dollars to Salem. We realize that money has already been spent to replace these windows, and unfortunately that cannot be changed. But, going forward we hope that you will consider working to keep as much of the historic character of your buildings, particularly the ones facing Derby Street, intact and maintained with historically appropriate materials. All of the buildings and businesses o1'Pickering Wharf are a vital part of bringing people to Salem and strengthening our economy.

(HSI) and The Salem Partnership (TSP) for review and comments. These drawings and specifications were sent on July! 23, 2013. The MBTA received only one comment letter during this review. That letter,from the Salem Historic Commission,dated August 26,2013,raised the following: - Specifications Section 04901,3.6 Cleaning Masonry, General,A: The cleaning of the Signal Tower will be from the bottom to the top to prevent possible streaking that can' resultfrom working from the top to the bottom of each scaffold width. - Specifications Section 04901,3.10 Final Cleaning: The mortar will be cleaned with PriSoCo's SureKlean 600 or an approved equal product to expose the aggregate of the repainted areas. After reviewing this issue with the project,the MBTA agrees that these two suggestions are appropriate and will be incorporated into the construction of the Project. We will continue to update all of the parties to the MOA as to the progress of the outstanding' elements of the MOA,particularly on the Archaeological Data Recovery Program and the Public' Education/Outreach and Site Interpretation. Where required,we will provide the parties with the opportunity to review and comment on elements of the project.

Your cover letter noted that in the present submission,the nomination has been transferred to the current National Register nomination form and the boundaries have been revised to eliminate surface parking areas. As noted in my previous letter of March 13,2013,to Maureen Cavanaugh, we continue to find that MHC staffs comments and recommendations(as detailed in a letter of January 17, 2013) regarding district boundaries have been only partially addressed. Therefore,MHC will retain this nomination on file but will not proceed with any substantial review until the nomination has been revised to reflect the recommendations of MHC's letter of January 17, 2013. Copies of both letters are enclosed for your reference.

MHC#RC.1421. NAE 2013-1242. EEA#Not Yet Assigned Dear Ms.Adams: Staff of the Massachusetts Historical Commission have reviewed the Project Notification Form(PNF) submitted by Parson Brinckerhoff,comments of the Massachusetts Board of Underwater Archaeological Resources(MBUAR), and Massachusetts Environmental Protection Act(MEPA)Environmental Notification Form(ENF), received October 29,30, and 31, 2013, for the project referenced above. The ENF(pg. 2) indicates that the proponent is applying to the State Revolving Fund program. The MHC has previously requested on October 15,2013 that a maritime archaeological reconnaissance survey be conducted for the project. The ENF(pg. 22) indicates that the proponent proposes to conduct the maritime archaeological reconnaissance survey for the project. Systematic sub-bottom 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. The MHC looks forward to reviewing the research design and methodology for the maritime archaeological reconnaissance survey,that should be submitted to the MHC for review and comment(36 CFR 800.4(a))by a qualified and regionally experienced archaeological consultant. A permit from the Massachusetts Board of Underwater Archaeological Resources(MBUAR) is required for the archaeological survey(301 CMR 2). The MHC should be provided a copy of the MBUAR permit ° application when it is filed. Schematic project plans indicate that excavation of the project pipe trench adjacent to the existing pipelines will be conducted with a barge-mounted excavator positioned outside of the proposed new trench right-of-way. Additional project information describing the proposed new trench construction methodology should be provided to the Corps,MHC and the MBUAR to offer further comments on the project area of potential effect. For example, if multiple anchored barges are proposed for simultaneous trench excavation and pipeline installation,then the maximum anchorage impact area should be shown on 220 Morrissey Boulevard, Boston,Massachusetts 02125 (617) 727-8470•Fax: (617) 727-5128 www.state.ma.us/sec/mhc revised project plans. Current project information, including project geotechnical data, should also be provided to the archaeological consultant for consideration in the survey research design and methodology. 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 and MBUAR in order to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects to identified significant archaeological resources. These comments are offered to assist in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended(36 CFR 800),M.G.L. c. 9, ss. 26-27C(950 CMR 71),MEPA(301 CMR 11)and 301 CMR 2.

MHC#RC.1421. NAE 2013-1242. Dear Ms. Adams: Staff of the Massachusetts Historical Commission have reviewed the Public Notice for the project referenced above. The project consists of the construction of twin 24 inch HDPE pipelines underneath the waters of Salem Harbor. The project requires review and permitting by the US Army Corps of Engineers. MHC will review the project under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended(36 CFR 800) and looks forward to consultation and a determination of effect by the Corps for the project. Preliminary geophysical data for the pipeline route and a construction methodology is not included in the Public Notice. This information would assist the MHC to offer further comments on the project area of potential effect and recommendations for historic properties identification efforts. As the preferred project alternative is refined, a Project Notification Form(PNF), including scaled existing and proposed conditions plans in l lx 17 format,the results of any geotechnical surveys and additional information on the project construction methodology, should be submitted to the MHC and the Massachusetts Board of Underwater Archaeological Resources(MBUAR) for review and comment. Undisturbed portions of the project impact area are archaeologically sensitive. Archaeological site. examinations conducted for nearby projects in Salem Harbor have identified one National Register- eligible buried ancient Native American archaeological site and two historic maritime archaeological sites within similar submerged environments to the project area. 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 www.state.ma.us/sec/mhc The proposed research design and methodology for the maritime archaeological reconnaissance survey should be submitted to the MHC for review and comment(36 CFR 800.4(a))by a qualified and regionally experienced archaeological consultant.

At its meeting of October 2, 2013, the Commission reviewed the 30% design plans and voted to submit the following comments: f • The Commission respectfully requests an existing conditions site plan with an overlay of the proposed rear addition. The design package received by the Commission does not include an existing conditions detail. In Site Plan AO-01, it is difficult to identify the impact that the proposed addition will have on the site without a reference to the existing structures. • The Commission respectfully requests additional information on the proposed use of the rear addition bump-out in order to better judge which model may be most compatible with both the original courthouse building and the proposed bump-out use. • The elevations do not identify the two ornate metal lamps flanking the front stairs. The Commission respectfiully requests details on how these lamps will be restored or repaired. • The Commission recommends that the location and size of mechanical systems, including generators, venting, and air handlers, in addition to any other projections off the top of the building, be identified in future plans. Page 2 Finally, the Commission has on file a three dimension electronic file (SketchUp) of the Probate and Family Court building. Should the Department of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance feel that this model would be useful in the design process, the Commission would be happy to send the file. Thank you in advance for your consideration and we look forward to reviewing future plans and details for this project.

This neo-classical, brick, commercial property was built as part of the reconstruction of Salem after the 1914 Great Salem Fire. It is one of the more richly detailed examples of the commercial construction found at the north end of Lafayette Street. Since 2002, Strega Realty Trust has completed extensive repairs and restoration work on the exterior and interior of the building, the result of which has transformed the property and made a major contribution to revitalizing this important neighborhood. On behalf of the Salem Historical Commission, I urge the Massachusetts Historical Commission to support for this work by looking favorably upon Strega Realty Trust's application for Massachusetts Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits.

The information that you have submitted with your Part 1 application is complete in accordance with the regulations(830 CMR 63.38R.1)., This letter constitutes the"initial certification'(830 CMR 63.38R.1(4)(a)). The MHC has determined that the subject property, historically known as the Zina GoodeltBlock and the Canadian Klondike Club(MHC#SAL.2218)meets the definition of a "qualified historic structure" as the property has been determined by MHC to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (830 CMR 63.38R.1(2)) ONLY as part of a potential Historic District. t It is-the opinion of MHC staff that the property does not retain sufficient integrity to be 1 individually eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. However, it stands within a group of commercial buildings that together would meet the criteria for listing as a National Register district.The exact boundaries of such a district remain to be determined. l Please note that the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Tax Credit program does not require listing on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the "final certification" to receive the final certificate for the tax credits (830 CMR 63.3811.1(4)(c)). - However the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program does require listing on the National Register of Historic Places under the National Park Service's regulations(36 CFR Ch.l Part 67).

The Point is an early 201h century neighborhood of multi-family residential structures built after the Great Salem Fire of 1914. This neighborhood exemplifies the City's efforts after the fire to reform multi-family housing under the direction of the Salem Rebuilding Commission. The Point's distinctive Colonial Revival brick multi-family apartment buildings share similar classical detailing such as decorative brick corbelling and classical cast stone detailing, including the eleven buildings owned by the North Shore CDC on Peabody, Ward, and Harbor Streets that are seeking Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits. The City surveyed the buildings of Ward and Peabody Streets (Salem Area Form GW) in 1989 and completed a neighborhood survey of the Point in 2006, identifying the neighborhood as a potential National Register District. The North Shore CDC's rehabilitation of eleven historic multi-family buildings containing 77 affordable rental units will support several goals of the City: 1) to preserve and revitalize the historic Point neighborhood and 2) to maintain and improve affordable housing options in Salem. State Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits will be critical in reaching these goals. The Salem Historical Commission urges the Massachusetts Historical Commission.to look favorably on the North Shore CDC's application for Massachusetts Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits.

Marsille, Esq. 60 Buffiim Street Salem,MA 01970 RE: Buffum Street area, North Salem Dear Mr. Marsille: Thank you for your inquiry about listing the Buffum Street area of North Salem in the National Register of Historic Places. The National Register is the nation's official listing of buildings, districts, sites, structures, and objects that retain integrity and demonstrate some aspect of local, state, or national history. The City of Salem has been certified by the National Park Service as a certified local government (CLG) and is responsible for conducting preliminary evaluations of properties for their National Register eligibility. To begin the process of evaluating the significance of the Buffum Street area, therefore, you should contact the Salem CLG to discuss the evaluation process. The CLG coordinator for Salem is Jane Guy, Assistant Community Development Director. I am copying her in this letter so that she knows of your interest. The National Register evaluation is based upon existing survey information, and also may require additional information and current photographs. Once the CLG completes an eligibility opinion, it is then forwarded to the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC) for our concurrence. If, in the opinion of the Salem CLG and the MHC, the area is eligible for listing in the National Register, the nomination process may commence. The nomination process itself is entirely separate from evaluation, and listing generally takes a number of years to achieve. An important part of the nomination process is providing information for property owners and others about the National Register program through public informational meetings and other forums. The nomination itself is most frequently prepared by a preservation consultant familiar with the requirements of the program, rather than by staff of the city CLG or by MHC staff. 220 Morrissey Boulevard, Boston, Massachusetts 02125 (617) 727-8470 • Fax: (617) 727-5128 www.sea state.ma.us/mhc I am enclosing some information about the National Register program for your reference.

A resident of Salem for twenty years, Mrs. Turiel resides at 238 Lafayette Street.

Mrs. Turiel is still a member of the Absecon Historic Society in her hometown in New Jersey and has been active in preservation efforts there for many years. For the last two decades, Mrs. Turiel and her family have worked to preserve and improve their historic 1910 home, one of the few in the neighborhood to survive the Great Fire of 1914, which marks the beginning of the Lafayette Street Historic District.

EEA# 15043.NAE 2013-00143. kDear Secretary Sullivan: Staff of th&Massachusetts Historical Commission have reviewed the Environmental Notification Form (ENF), received April 10,2013, forthe project referenced above. The proposed project consists of the redevelopment of the former Salem Oil & Grease Company site on Grove Street and Harmony Grove Road in SalemriThe project includes the construction of three multi-family residential apartment buildings, rehabilitation of the existing commercial office building at 60 Grove Street and associated infrastructure,'mcluding stormwater management systems, parking, landscaping and improvements to bridges and canai'walls.at North River crossings. The MHC has previously reviewed and commented on a Project Notification Form(PNF)and additional information,received December 3 and 18,2013,.on January 3,2013 (copy enclosed). The project requires a permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers, and the MHC will review the overalllproject under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended(36 CFR 800).Under MHC's state regulations,a Section 106 review automatically substitutes for a state-level. MHC-review(see 950 CMR 71.04(2)). This provision acts as an important streamlining process to enable federally-funded or permitted projects to proceed in a prompt manner, without any duplicative historic preservationreviews as it goes to MEPA for MEPA review or to state agencies for applicable state agency permits. The MHChas received comments from the Corps, dated March 12,2013, indicating that the Corps will {� conduct further consultation pursuant to Section 106 upon receipt of a Corps permit application. The i MHC has received comments from the Salem Historical Commission, Historic Salem, Inc., and members_ of--the.public for the project,which have been forwarded to the Corps. The MHC looks forward to the Corps' determination of the project area of potential effect and findings of effect for the project. The Corps should note that the Salem Oil &Grease Company (MHC# SAL.376), identified in the MHC's inventory as 60, 64/69 Grove Street, includes one building on either side of the existing North River Canal, within the Blubber Hollow historic area(MHC# SAL.A). The project site is also immediately adjacent to the Boston Street Area(SAL.B) and the Gallows Hill Area(SAL.C), among others: I . 220 Morrissey Boulevard, Boston, Massachusetts 02125' j (617)727-8470 • Fax: (617) 727-5128 i.T www.seastate.ma.us/mho . , The structure at 60 Grove Street shown on project plans as the existing office building is proposed for rehabilitation. The MHC encourages the project proponent to develop rehabilitation specifications to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation (36 CFR 67), and to seek state and/or federal rehabilitation tax credits. To assist the Corps in their identification efforts the MHC's professional archaeological staff have conducted background research regarding the potential of the proposed project to affect significant archaeological sites, taking into account comments received for the project.Notably the project area was part of the area affected by the 1914 Salem fire, and has been impacted by pre and post-fire industrial development. Existing major subsurface utilities are present within portions of the project impact area. The location of the 17th century Trask Mill noted on the inventory form, according to reconstructed historic maps, is located north of the present MBTA railroad tracks and does not appear to be.within the Project impact area as proposed. The results of the 1996 intensive (locational)archaeological survey conducted:op the adjoining parcels found that earlier archaeological resources within the.North River corridor were destroyed by the 1914 fire and extensive industrial development over ca. 150 years. . These comments are offered to assist in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended(36 CFR 800),M.G.L c. 9, ss. 26-27 C (950 CMR 71)and MEPA (301 CMR11).

Since then, almost every city and town in Massachusetts has established a local historical commission. Do you know when your local historical commission was established? What were some of the first projects your commission undertook? Mosf local historical commissions began with historic property survey to document the range of historic resources found in their community. Fifty years later, on- going historic property survey remains a high priority for local historical commissions. With local historical commissions over the past 50 years identifying, evaluating and protecting historic resources, the enormous success of historic preservation can be seen across the commonwealth. The Massachusetts Historical Commission is interested in hearing your perspective on the history of your local historical commission. If you have some thoughts to share, please contact us at: Christopher C.

A NPDES Remediation General Permit from the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) is required for the project. As you recall, on January 22,-2013,the MHC commented on a PNF submitted for the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM)Expansion project, requesting more information.

The MHC looks forward to ,receiving the comments of the SHC on the expansion project, and the information that the MHC .requested for:the`expansiorrprcject. The project information submitted to the MHC indicates that the project involves the construction of a utility vault within the PEM building. After review of the information provided,the MHC recommends a finding of"no historic properties affected"(36 CFR 800.4(d)(1))for the construction of the utility vault. These comments are offered to assist in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as amended (36 CFR 800). Please contact Edward L.

The additional research and information that you provided was very helpful, and we have reviewed it carefully. We have the following comments on the proposed boundaries for the Salem Point neighborhood. 1. National Grid Substation, 25 Peabody Street. We agree that as a remnant of the area before the fire, this well-preserved Panel Brick-style building associated with the Salem Electric Lighting Company should be included in the district. 2. Naumkeag Steam Cotton Mills Pequot House and (current) Salem Health Building. We disagree with your recommendation that these properties be excluded from the district. The Naumkeag Steam Company (which was also responsible for Tercentenary-associated Pequot House and the current Salem Health Building, formerly the company office) was the employer of many of the residents of Salem Point. Developed concurrently with the neighborhood, and responsible also for a number of the residential buildings within Salem Point (particularly on Dow and Prince Streets, builtby Naumkeag and designed by Kilham and Hopkins for company workers),Naumkeag Steam Company is integral to the neighborhood physically as well as economically. Holding close associations with the rest of Salem Point, the well-preserved buildings comprising the Naumkeag complex should be included within the district. Please note that the apparent opposition of a single property owner is not a compelling reason to exclude historically and architecturally significant resources from the district. Public informational meetings will be held as part of the nomination process to which the owners of these properties will be invited, as will all other property 220 Morrissey Boulevard, Boston, Massachusetts 02125 (617) 727-8470 • Fax: (617) 727-5128 www.secstate.ma.us/mhc owners, and MHC and city staff will be available to answer any questions the owners may have about the impactofNational Register designation.

We agree that it should not be included within the district. 4. Palmer Cove City Park and Ballfield and Palmer Cove Playground Building. As a public park developed by the city in the early decades of the 20th century, the park is an important contributing element in Salem Point neighborhood. Changes in the later 20'h century, including adding a volleyball court and park shelter, are in keeping with the function of the park as an area for active and passive recreation. The playground building, though altered with a second story and addition, retains sufficient integrity to contribute to the district as a whole. Palmer Cove Park in its entirety should be included within the Salem Point district. 5. Gara e, 62 Leavitt Street. We agree that the 1926 Modern-style garage building should.be included within the district. 6. Three-story brick apartment building at Lafayette near Chase Street;and Saltonstall School, 211 Lafayette Street. Built ca. 1915-1916 as an elementary school, the Saltonstall School drew students from throughout South Salem, including many from the Salem Point neighborhood. The school is a well- preserved Classical Revival-style building designed by Massachusetts architect James E. McLaughlin(who designed Fenway Park, among other properties). The brick apartment is similar to many others within the Salem Point neighborhood. The district boundaries should include these two properties. 7. Area west of Lafayette Street. The residential area across Lafayette Street was also developed after the Salem fire and includes a number of densely set brick apartment buildings, as well as single-family buildings on somewhat larger lots. Separated by broad Lafayette Street from the rest of the Salem Point, it is likely that the area west of Lafayette Street would be eligible for listing in the National Register as a separate district of residential post-fire buildings. We agree that it is an area that need not be included within the Salem Point district boundaries. The Salem Point neighborhood reflects the evolution of South Salem during the late 19`h and 20th centuries as a diverse working class residential neighborhood that evolved from primarily French Canadian and European-descended residents to one dominated by Hispanic residents largely from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. The district retains integrity of location,design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and i association under Criteria A and C, with a period of significance beginning just prior to the.Great Fire„ca. 1890, and extending to the fifty-year cutoff date,;1963 . We look forward to working with you,the city of Salem, its historical commission; the Community Development Corporation, and the Salem Point neighborhood association in completing the listing of the important:area in the National Register of Historic Places.

Listing in the National Register(NR)recognizes historic properties that are significant to our communities, our state,.and our nation. The NR is a federal program of the National Park Service, administered in Massachusetts by the Massachusetts Historical Commission(MHC). The NR recognizes unique and irreplaceable historic resources that give a sense of time and place to our downtowns, neighborhoods,village centers,and rural landscapes,and contribute to our communities'. character, making Massachusetts a special place. NR listing is an important preservation planning tool that encourages preservation,but it does not guarantee that listed properties will be preserved. The NR is not a design review program, but it does provide limited protection from state and federal actions,as well as eligibility for certain matching state restoration grants(when available)and certain tax benefits for certified rehabilitation projects. STATE'REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES: Properties listed in the NR are automatically listed in the State Register of Historic Places as well. The State Register is a compendium of properties with historic designations, listed By municipality, and serves as a reference guide, helping to determine whether a state funded; permitted,or licensed project will affect historic properties. The State Register review process helps ensure that listed properties will not , inadvertently be harmed by activities supported by state agencies. The State Register is published annually and is available through the Statehouse Bookstore. EFFECTS OF NR LISTING FOR PRIVATE PROPERTIES: NR status in itself places no constraints on what owners may do with their property when using private funding, unless state or federal funds,permits,or licensing are used,or when some other regional or local bylaw,ordinance,or policy is in effect.NR listing does not impose additional restrictions to already existing local regulations or ordinances,nor does listing eliminate regulations currently in effect. Please be aware,however,that certain local ordinances,including demolition delay,may reference NR designation as a condition triggering review. NR-listed buildings may qualify for exemptions from some aspects of the State Building Code. Owners of private property listed in the NR have no obligation to open thein properties to the public,to restore them,or even to maintain them. Owners can do anything they wish with their private property provided that no federal or state funding,licensing,permitting, or approval is involved. If owners use state or federal funds to alter their property or need state or federal 1 permits,the proposed alteration will be reviewed by MHC staff. The review is triggered by the funding or permitting source, not by the historic designation. Local funding and permitting do not trigger MHC review. Owners may affix plaques to their listed properties, if they choose,but it is not required. MHC does not provide or review plaques. City or town sign ordinances should be consulted. 220 Morrissey Boulevard, Boston, Massachusetts 02125 (617) 727-8470 •Fax: (617) 727-5128 www'sec.state.ma.us/inhe vg�,,cormirl,� Salem Historical Commission 120 WASHINGTON STREET, SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS 01970 April 8, 20.13 (978)619-5685 FAX(978)740-0404 Andrew Brennan Director of Environmental Affairs Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority 10 Park Plaza, Suite 3910 Boston, MA 02116 RE: MBTA Salem Intermodal Station MHC #RC5024/EEA #14920 Dear Mr. Brennan: The Salem Historical Commission (Commission) has reviewed the Clearance Memorandum prepared by Public Archaeology Laboratory(PAL), which presents preliminary findings from the archaeological data recover fieldwork at the Salem Intermodal Station project site.

The Point is an early 20"'century neighborhood of multi-family residential structures built after the Great Salem Fire of 1914. This neighborhood exemplifies the City's efforts after the fire to reform multi-family housing under the direction of the Salem Rebuilding Commission.The Point's distinctive Colonial Revival brick multi-family apartment buildings share similar classical detailing such as decorative brick corbelling and classical cast stone detailing, including the eleven buildings owned by the North Shore CDC on Peabody, Ward, and Harbor Streets that are seeking Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits. The City surveyed the buildings of Ward and Peabody Streets (Salem Area Form GW) in 1989 and completed a neighborhood survey of the Point in 2006, identifying the neighborhood as a potential National Register District. The North Shore CDC's rehabilitation of 11 historic multi-family buildings containing 77 affordable rental units will support several goals of the City: 1) to preserve and revitalize the historic Point neighborhood and 2) to maintain and improve affordable housing options in Salem. Continued financial support through the MA Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit program is critical for the success of this project, which demonstrates a substantial need and eligibility for additional credits. The Salem Historical Commission encourages the Massachusetts Historical Commission to look favorably on the North Shore CDC's application for Massachusetts Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits. cerely, /)K` Jes i erbert air ��corml74"t4 Salem Historical Commission 120 WASHINGTON STREET,SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS 01970 (978)619-5685 FAX(978)740-0404 January 16, 2013 Michael Steinitz Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer Massachusetts Historical Commission Massachusetts Archives Building 220 Morrissey Boulevard Boston, MA 02125 RE: FY2013 Survey and Planning Grant Dear Mr. Steinitz: The Salem Historical Commission is in full support of the City of Salem's application for Survey and Planning Grant funding to undertake a nomination of Greenlawn Cemetery to the National Register of Historic Places. Victorian sculpture garden cemeteries with rolling landscapes cascading down to reflecting ponds that provide a seasonal home to migrating birds along with serene walking paths for visitors are very special places within cities.According to the Form E: Burial Ground, the cemetery was first had out in 1807 and is a picturesque landscape with waterbodies, trees and plantings. However, this site is so much more - including a chapel (1894), Civil War Memorial (1886) and one of the largest collections of plants in the state (with the avenues and paths named for the trees, shrubs and vines identified by cast iron markers). There are more than 150 different species of trees represented, including some rare and exotic trees. The cemetery includes cast iron fencing, granite posts and iron gates, as well as tall brick wall sections. The cemetery office was built in 1933 and the stuccoed greenhouse/garage was built in 1934. We strongly recommend that this application be fully funded. Thank you foe your - consideration.

The federal tax incentive program has encouraged private investment and rehabilitation of historic properties since 1976 and has been particularly valuable to Massachusetts.This program allows owners of applicable NR buildings to qualify for a 20% Investment Tax Credit,in effect a 20%rebate,based on rehabilitation costs.These credits help pay for the unique costs associated with rehabilitation of historic properties. The National Park Service certifies the rehabilitation,and the MHC Technical Services staff advises and assists owners during the application and review process.The rehabilitation must be deemed substantial and must meet the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.Applications should be submitted to MHC before rehabilitation work begins in order to receive the most useful advice and best results. Under the Massachusetts Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit Program, a certified rehabilitation project on an income-producing property is eligible to receive up to 20%of the cost of certified rehabilitation expenditures in state tax credits.There is an annual cap, so there are selection criteria that ensure the funds are distributed to the projects that provide the most public benefit.The MHC certifies the projects and allocates available credits.Properties on the NR, or those eligible for listing,may be eligible to receive the credits. As with the federal program,rehabilitation under the Massachusetts tax credit program must meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. The state rehabilitation tax credit may be used in tandem with the federal investment tax credit. The Federal tax code also provides for federal income,estate, and gift tax deductions for charitable contributions of partial interest in historic property,principally easements. Whether these provisions are advantageous to a property owner is dependent upon the particular circumstances of the property and the owner. Individuals should consult their legal counsel or the appropriate Internal Revenue Service office for assistance in determining the tax consequences of these provisions.

Dear Mr. Webster: Staff of the Massachusetts Historical Commission(MHC), office of the State Historic Preservation Officer, have reviewed preliminary project information regarding the project referenced above, received by the MHC on December 24, 2012. The MHC also received,a copy of the Sale'ni'Historical Cornmission's comments, dated January 3, 2013. The Project i . Notif cation Form included with the submittal indicates that a NPDES Remediation General Permit from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)is required for the project: The perspective view drawings submitted to the MHC do not clearly indicate the boundaries of the area of potential effect for the project, and the MHC requires additional information to understand the proposed project. There are several historic properties in the general project area, but it is not possible for the MHC to understand which historic properties are within the area of potential effect; or to understand what effect the project will have on these properties, based on the materials submitted to this office. Historic districts within and/or adjoining the project area include: East India Marine Hall (MHC 4SAL.2473), a National Historic Landmark and listed in the National Register of Historic Places; Salem Common Historic District (SAL.HW), listed in the National Register of Historic Places; the Downtown Salem Historic District (SAL.HP) listed in the National Register of Historic Places; and the Charter Street Historic District (SAL.HI) listed in the National Register of Historic Places. There are several other individual historic properties in the area. One of the perspective drawings shows a structure labeled "Security Outpost Center" but it is not Clear whether this is a proposed new structure. There appears to be an existing structure at that location,which may or may not be related to the adjoining Goult--Pickman House (SAL.2506), which is listed`in the National Register of Historic Places. The location of the Security Outpost Center maybe within the historical boundaries of the Charter Street Burial Ground (SAL.806) 220 Morrissey Boulevard, Boston, Massachusetts 02125 (617) 727-8470•Fax: (617) 727-5128 mrww.sec.state.ma.us/mhc which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Demolition and new construction within the historical boundaries of cemeteries has the potential to affect graves. Scaled project plans and elevation drawings showing existing and proposed conditions should be submitted to the MHC, with information that specifies the exterior materials and their proposed color(s). A qualified historic preservation consultant (36 CFR 61) should delineate the boundaries of the area of potential effect on site maps or plans; should locate and identify historic properties within the area of potential effect; and offer an opinion of effect to historic properties. That information will assist the EPA to make a determination of effect (36 CFR 800.4 to 800.5) so that the EPA can provide its determination to the MHC and other consulting parties for comment. These comments are offered to assist in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as_am_ended (36..CFR 800). Please contact Edward L.

A significant portion of the granite walled North River Canal, as constructed in the late 1880s, of considerable importance to the industrial history of Blubber Hollow and remaining basically intact, is located on the project site. Among the proposed project activities that have the potential to adversely effect this historic structure are the removal of three storm water outfalls, the installation of two new outfalls, the removal of three overhead Canal crossing structures and the construction of a new pedestrian bridge over the Canal. The impact of these activities on this historic resource should be properly assessed. 3. SAL. 376, Salem Oil and Grease Co., consists of two buildings, one on either side of the North River Canal at 60 and 64 Grove Street. The redevelopment proposal calls for the demolition of the industrial building to the south of the Canal . It is indicated that the office building to the north of the Canal will be subject to "a full rehabilitation" to meet currentbuilding codes: It should be ascertained if these proposed redevelopment actions would cause an adverse effect to the SAL.376 property.

Explain contributing and noncontributing resources if necessary. Begin with a summary paragraph that briefly describes the general characteristics of the property, such as its location, setting, size, and significant features.) Summary Paragraph The North Street Fire Station(Hose House Number 6)is a Queen Anne-style structure located in the North Salem section of the city of Salem,Massachusetts. It is located on the northeast side of North Street;west of Dearborn Street, in a primarily residential neighborhood dominated by 19'-century one- and two-family dwellings. The two-story brick fire station faces southwest. The urban lot measures 0.115 acre, and includes 50 feet of frontage on North Street and a depth of approximately 97 feet. The building is set back slightly from the sidewalk and occupies most of the lot, with a small margin of pavement on all sides. Narrative Description . The fire station is constructed of red brick laid in a stretcher bond with red mortar, and is set on a granite foundation. The main two-story block measures approximately 26 feet by 43 feet and is capped by a hip roof with a central ridge running in a northeast-southwest direction. The roof is covered in slate with copper ridges. A gable wall dormer parapet rises from the front roof slope with small gablets on the sides. There is a chimney on the rear slope. Projecting to the southeast from the north end of the east elevation is a two-story, 10'-square projection. This was originally a four-story tower,but was reduced to its present height ca.1970. Spanning the rear elevation of the hose house and tower is a single-story section measuring approximately 27' by 35' and capped by a low-pitched gable roof,sheathed in asphalt shingles. The southwest fagade of the firehouse is divided into three bays,consisting of a wider central opening flanked by narrow bays on either side(photos 1,2). The central bay has a segmentally arched opening with brick label mold, and is fitted with a modern overhead,multilight garage door. The original wooden doors had diagonal boards in the upper panels with a large"X" in the lower section. Today, all of the existing windows on the building are modern vinyl replacements, although in the original 1/1 configuration. On either side of the door is a narrow rectangular window opening containing a modem 1/1 sash with granite sill. The windows are capped by splayed brick lintels;which are set into larger brick label molds constructed of horizontally-laid bricks. On the second floor of the fagade, a large, arched,tri-partite"Palladian- type"window is centered above the garage door. It consists of a 1/1 window framed by pilasters, and slightly smaller 1/1 windows. The center window is capped by a semicircular solid panel with a larger, outer arch filled with flower-petal tracery and semicircular brick lintel. On either side of the arched window is a narrow 1/1 window, identical to those on the first floor below. Above the arched window is a gable wall dormer which breaks through the heavy corbelled brick cornice. Centered in the pediment is a diamond shape of stone incised with the date `1881.' A brick dentil molding outlines the triangle above the window,with another horizontal band aligned with the comers of the diamond. A series of decorative brick belt courses provide visible accents on the fagade,wrapping around to the adjacent side . elevations as well. A brick-on-edge pattern is located at the height of the second-story window sills,while a recessed dentil course, also in brick, is located at the bottom edge of the second story window lintels. Most pronounced is the heavy corbelled comice that is visible on all three,principal elevations,broken.only by the front gable wall dormer. The southwest and southeast elevations both display evenly spaced narrow window openings like those seen on the fagade. There are three bays of openings on the southwest elevation but only two on the southeast, owing to the bell tower base which projects near the rear of the southeast wall. The two-story projection has the same windows,with a single window on the front and southeast elevations. Facing the street on the first floor of the tower is a segmental opening containing a modern door, flanked by side panels with a glass transom above. Painted on the glass is `Salem Fire Department Station 2.' The decorative brick band above the second floor windows consists of soldier bricks laid on edge.The tower is (continued) 3 United States Department of the Interior _ National Park Service/National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Forth 10-900 OMB No.10240018 (Expires 5/31/2012) North Street Fire Station Essex Co.. Massachusetts Name of Property County and State capped by a gable roof with a modern square cupola on the ridge, installed when the upper two stories of the tower were removed ca.1970. Historic photographs show that the wood-frame open tower consisted of wooden posts supporting an elongated pyramidal roof. It was decorated by a bracketed cornice. According to station personnel,the bell is still located in what remains of the tower today. At the rear of the fire house and tower is a single-story section,which was built at the same time as the larger main block and originally contained stalls for the fire horses(photo 3). This part of the building is also constructed of brick with a simple brick cornice on the side elevations and narrow, 1/1 windows that have simple splayed brick lintels and granite sills. There are three bays of window openings on the northwest side elevation and three on the rear. The southeast elevation of the rear section has a single window and a set of diagonal-board double doors topped by a granite lintel and fronted by granite steps: Interior Description On the first floor,the front portion of the station consists of an unpartitioned apparatus bay (photo 4). It has a concrete floor and the ceiling is sheathed in varnished headboard, with a circular piece of wood in the west corner covering the former firepole opening. Below this is the electrical board, including tapper and bell tapes,by which alarms come in. Hanging by chains from the ceiling are period pendant lights with metal shades. The walls have painted headboard wainscoting. At the rear of the bay the chimney rises,and at the southern corner concrete steps lead down to the stone- walled basement. A varnished door with upper glass and horizontal panels on the rear wall leads back to the former horse stable which now functions as a meeting room. The original worn floor in this area has been replaced in recent years by new wood flooring. The walls in the rear area are also covered with beadboard wainscoting, and there is a circular cutout in the varnished headboard ceiling. The vertical-board double door on the southeast wall once accommodated the horses (photo 6).Adjacent to the horse entry is a historic four-panel door with molded surround. An additional glass-and-panel door with transom on the southeast wall of the apparatus bay leads to the former hose tower(figure 1). A winding staircase with turned balusters and a bold knobbed newel post(photo 5)leads to the second floor,while a ladder at the top of the staircase leads to what remains of the hose tower, including the original bell. On the second floor,the front room has seen the addition of a modern partition,that bisects the front window and separates what was originally one large room into two separate sleeping rooms. There is a single sleeping room to the rear,with an adjacent bathroom and hall. The finishes on the second story include wide baseboards,high ceilings,bold door surrounds, and some original four-panel doors(photo 6). 4 Archaeological Description While no ancient Native American sites are known on the North Street Fire Station property, it is possible that sites are present. Twenty-two ancient sites have been recorded in close proximity(within one mile)to the property. Most known sites in the area are located on riverine terraces bordering the North River. In general,however,the potential for locating Native sites on the nominated property is low. Environmental characteristics of the property do not generally represent locational criteria(slope, soil drainage, proximity to wetlands)that are favorable for the presence of Native sites. The fire station is located on a level to moderately sloping urban lot. Soils on the property are classified as urban land, consisting of areas where soils have been altered or obscured by urban works and structures,making soil drainage difficult to determine. Buildings, industrial areas,paved areas, and railroad yards cover more than 75%of the surface. The property is also located more than 1,000 feet from the nearest wetlands. The North River is located at least 1,500 feet to the east of the fire station.. Give the above information,the small size of the property(0.115 acres),and construction impacts from an earlier wood-frame building on the site and the present structure which covers nearly the entire lot, a low potential exists for the recovery of significant ancient Native American resources on the North Street Fire Station property. Any potential ancient resources that may have been located on the property were probably destroyed during construction of the present fire station and earlier wooden structure that was located on the property.

Massachusetts Name of Property County and State A low to moderate potential also exists for locating significant historic archaeological resources on the North Street Fire Station property. The existing brick fire station replaced an earlier wooden structure on the same site. Structural evidence may survive from the earlier structure that was moved to a new site near the end of Dearborn Street. Similar evidence may also survive from barns and outbuildings associated with the earlier structure. Archaeological evidence may survive from occupational-related features(trash pits;privies,wells)associated with the earlier structure. Impacts from construction of the existing fire station may have destroyed potential survivals of the earlier wooden structure that was located on the property.

Constructed in 1881, it is a well-preserved example of the Queen Anne style designed for a civic/municipal purpose, and is of interest as the work of prominent local architect,William D.Dennis(1847-1913). It is also the oldest extant fire station in Salem still serving its original purpose. The fire house is also eligible under Criterion A at the local level. As a civic center for residents of Ward 6,the building not only served as a headquarters for firefighters but also incorporated a ward room which was used for voting and community gatherings. The construction of the building in the late 19`s century to replace an earlier wood-frame structure illustrates the growing sophistication of the local fire department,as well as the continued development of North Salem as a suburban neighborhood during this period. Narrative Statement of Significance(Provide at least one paragraph for each area of significance.) Historical Background Efforts to protect Salem from the ravages of fire date back to the 18`"century;with the formation of fire clubs and the organization of engine companies manned by volunteers. By 1803,there were seven fire clubs and eight engines serving the city. In 1859,the volunteer fire department had ten hand engines,three sail carriages,one hook-and-ladder company and one hose reel. There was one chief engineer and six engineers. Using hand engines,firefighting was extremely labor intensive. The city was divided into 22 fire wards with 900 men. Each company had 60-70 men,and some companies had up to 200 substitutes. The methods of fighting fires changed dramatically with the advent of steam engines in the 1860s, and by 1869, hand engines were dispensed with in Salem(Tufts 1975). Much of North Salem was farmland until the mid 19`s century,but North Street itself was one of the area's oldest travelways, a major road connecting North Salem and Peabody. Thought to have originally been a trail used by Native Americans, it was laid out as a highway in 1760. In 1824,the City voted to supply sparsely-settled North Salem with a hand fire engine. In the 1840s,the North Salem firehouse was located on the corner of Franklin Street,near the North Bridge. Between 1860 and 1870,North Street below School Street was widened about fifteen or twenty feet by moving all the buildings back. During this period,the area experienced a great deal of growth,becoming more residential than agricultural. Other parts of North Salem, such as Mason Street and nearby roads,were dotted by tanneries, and several industrial structures were located along the banks of the North River(Hilbert 1986). This pattern was repeated elsewhere in the city as well. During this period,the need for city services expanded, as did the need for improved firefighting. In 1878,the City of Salem Fire Department was established. The department was overseen by one Chief Engineer with four assistants. Firefighting equipment consisted of two steamers, with an additional steamer in reserve. The city was served by six volunteer hose companies, coinciding with the city's six wards, as well as a hook-and-ladder company. The establishment of the fire department resulted in improvements in hose houses throughout the city. On April 14, 1880,the City Council appropriated$8,000 for a new brick hose house in Ward 5; it was dedicated on December 21, 1880. The new hose house was described as"the finest public building in the city". Among those making speeches at the dedication was the architect, W.D.Dennis(Salem News,Dec. 22, 1880). The next year, on June 6, 1881, $6,000 was appropriated for a new brick hose house in Ward 6,replacing an earlier wooden structure on the same site. The earlier structure was moved to a new site near the end of Dearborn Street(Dionne 2012)..The design for the Ward 6 hose house was based on that of Ward 5, although the architectural details differed. Both had a single bay, stalls for horses to the rear and a prominent hoselbell tower(figure 1). The Ward 5 structure had a gable front, while that in Ward 6 was capped by a hip roof. The fenestration pattern was the same, although the window lintels and sills and brick-work patterns were different, as was the design of the hose tower. (Hose House No. 5 was located at the comer of Washington and Lafayette Streets and was destroyed in the Great Salem Fire on (continued) 7 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service/National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No.1024-0018 (Expires 5/312012) North Street Fire Station Essex Co., Massachusetts Name of Property - County and State June 25, 1914.) Both stations could be described as functional and decorative,but hardly innovative or state-of-the-art. Hose House No. 6 was dedicated on March 23, 1882. The station included a single bay to house a steamer. In front of the steamer,hanging harnesses were suspended in anticipation of the next call. A single-story section in the rear contained large, airy stalls for the fire horses. Just inside the door(in the west comer)was a brass pole, and directly behind this were the alarm bells. A bell tower was located above the stairwell on the east side of the building(Bates: 73). In addition to functioning as a hose house,the building also contained a wardroom,which could be used for voting and community events. As such it became the civic and social focus for Ward Six. The Ward 5 hose house had also included a wardroom. According to fire department reports of the day,the inclusion of a wardroom was not customary. In other parts of the city, wardrooms were also sometimes housed in school buildings. On March 28,29,&30,1882,the lady friends of Hose Company No. 6 held a fair in the ward room of the new hose house to raise funds to provide the house with furniture(Salem News, March 25, 1882). At the time the station was completed,Josiah B. Osborn was the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department. The following year, one of his assistants,John F. Staniford,became chief. The position appears to have alternated between men quite frequently at this time. In 1882, Thomas Rowell, a carpenter,was the foreman of Hose Company No.6"Active." He was 42 years old and lived at 10 Andrew Street. There were eighteen other men in the company, including assistant foreman,G.A. Caswell, a painter who lived at 8 North Street, and clerk W.S. Carlton, a currier residing at 15 Mason Street. The hosemen came from all walks of life and their occupations included mason,farmer,roofer,railroad employee, printer, engraver, expressman,teamster,carpenter, currier,and clerk(City Documents). In 1889, city documents indicate that Hose Co.No.6 had eight members and was equipped with: 1 horse, 1 hose wagon; 1 pole; 1 swing harness; 2,000 ft. hose;4 pipes; 1 axe; I door opener; 1 jimmy; 1 crowbar; 2 lanterns; 8 rubber coats; 8 badges; 8 keys; I hose stand; 1 chuck stand;2 chucks; 2 tables; 1 department regulations and frame; 1 telephone regulations and frame;20 curtains; 1 furnace and furniture; l blackboard;2 jacks; 2 shovels; 1 large monkey wrench; 1 wheel wrench; 2 brooms; 1 dust pan; 1 mop; 1 oil can; 1 dust brush; 1 fork; 1 currycomb; 1 brush; 1 card; 1 rubber scraper; 1 horse scraper; 1 sponge; 1 chamois skin; 2 blankets; 7 spanners; 1 screw driver; 1 bedstead with spring bed and mattress; 2 pillows;4 pillow cases;2 pairs of sheets; 1 pair bed blackest; I bed puff; 1 bureau and glass; 2 chairs; 5 doz. stools; I extinguisher. In 1892, Charles Williams was Foreman of Active Hose Company No. 6. Thomas Sanborn was Assistant and F.A. Simonds served as clerk. There were also four hosemen: Thomas Pope, W.S. Carleton,P. Graham and G.F. Pousland; James Roundy was the driver(City Documents, 1892). On June 25, 1914,the Great Salem Fire destroyed almost 1,800 buildings,beginning in the"Blubber Hollow" section of the city, along Boston Street. The conflagration raged more than 13 hours,burning over 253 acres and over 1,000 buildings. A total of 20,000 persons lost their homes, 10,000 lost theirjobs,and at least six lost their lives. The North Street Company(then Engine No. 2)responded along with the city's other four engine companies,two hose companies, and two ladder companies,but was otherwise not affected by the fire. (The station's near twin on Lafayette Street was destroyed by the fire.) Assisting in fighting the fire were companies and apparatus from fourteen other communities (Kampas: 103). A report by the National Board of Fire Underwriters,written after the fire, fully details the state of the Fire Department at that time. According to the report,the city was served by"two undermanned full paid companies"with others serving on call. The Fire Chief,William O. Arnold,then 65 years old, had served as chief since 1888 and was assisted by two call assistant chiefs. The chief was appointed by the mayor. The fire force consisted of 109 men: 29 full time paid, and 80 part-time paid call men. There were five engine companies,two hose companies, and two ladder companies in service (continued) B United Slates Department of the Interior : National Park Service/National Register of Histonc Places Registration Form 'NPS Foon 10-900 OMB No.1024-0016 (Expires 5/312012) North Street Fire Station Essex Co., Massachusetts Name of Property - County and State after the fire. At Engine Company 2 on North Street there were two paid men and 12 call men. The station was equipped with a steam engine pulled by three horses and a plain hose wagon pulled by two horses. The apparatus included 1,000 feet of hose. The station provided sleeping accommodations for the driver only,and a meeting room for company members(National Board of Underwriters Report, 1914). In addition to its role fighting fires,the North Street station was also a social center for the surrounding neighborhood. In 1935,the Salem News offered a detailed account of a"gala gathering"at the station. The event was held as a dedication of a new Maxim pumping engine recently installed but"the underlying reason apparently, was for an evening of feeding, swapping stories,making speeches and general entertainment"(Salem News,Jan. 22, 1935). Among those attending were officials and members of the fire department,members of the city council, legislature,senate,and clergy, along with friends from Salem,Peabody, and Danvers. In addition to socializing,the station was also known for its community spirit and work throughout Ward Six, including at Christmastime when the men made up 50-60 baskets of food for the needy (Ibid). Frances J. Bates was assigned to the North Street station as a captain in 1951 and years later described it as"a house of tradition and sociability. Day or night,outsiders would flock in to play cards,dominoes,or just plain talk...It was indeed a house of warmth and friendship"(Bates 1974: 74). Among the traditions of the period Bates described was an annual Fourth of July open house attended by close to 500 people dropping in to renew old acquaintances and talk over old times and old memories. Cooking, chairs, and tables were set up in the rear room(no longer needed for horses), and most of the off-duty crew was present to assist in serving visitors. The North Street Fire Station is still used by the fire department today,more than 125 years after its construction, and it is still known as Engine Company 2 or Station 2 at this time. The building has seen few alterations over the years(figures 1,2). In 1960 the station was converted from coal to oil. The top of the tower was removed ca.1970.At some point,the garage door was replaced and the current vinyl window sash were installed. Until fairly recently the station was still used for voting. The North Street Station is the city's oldest extant firehouse still in service, and Engine 2 still responds to emergencies from this station today. According to local firefighters, it is said to be the third oldest continuously operating station still open in the United States. Older stations include the Central Fire Station at 50 School Street in Taunton(1869,NR)and Peabody's headquarters at 41 Lowell Street(1873,NR). Architecture North Street Fire Station is a well-preserved example of Queen Anne-style civic architecture. The two-story brick building displays extensive decorative brickwork, including a heavy corbelled cornice that wraps around the entire structure. The brick beltcourse at the base of the second-story windows is constructed of bricks set on edge. Another course at the bottom of the second-story lintels consists of recessed dentils, and there is another pattern of soldier brick set on edge above the second-floor windows corresponding to the base of the former tower. Windows on the building are topped by hood-mold brick lintels,with the central section above the window set in a splayed pattern. The brick gable wall dormer, rising from the front slope of the hip roof, is edged in dentil-like brick. The arched Palladian-type window on the second story of the fagade is capped by a semicircular brick lintel reminiscent of Richardsonian Romanesque influences. Below this window is a segmentally arched bay opening. As originally constructed, an attached prominent bell tower with concave spire roof gavethe building an asymmetrical profile(figure 1). The upper two stories of the tower were removed between 1955 and 1980, leaving the truncated version visible today. The station is the oldest extant structure of its kind in Salem that still serves its original purpose. The oldest extant building that was built as a firehouse is the former Constitution Hose Company#2 at 121 Webb Street,a wood-frame Italianate structure constructed about 1858 but greatly altered in the 20`1'century and converted to residential use. The former firehouse at 30 Church Street is a brick structure that was originally constructed in 1861,but remodeled in 1887 (continued) 9 United States Department of the Interior • National Park Service/National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No.1024-DO18 (Expires 5/31/2012) North Street Fire Station Essex Co., Massachusetts Name of Property County and State by architect William D. Dennis,who also designed the North Street Fire House(Hose House No.6). It displays a denticulated brick cornice,segmental-arch window hoods,and a mansard roofed tower. The Church Street building was converted to retail/office use in the 1970s. Salem's other historic firehouses that are still in use today include the.Ward 3 Fire Station at 415 Essex Avenue, constructed in 1915,and the South Salem Fire Station at 64 Loring Avenue, dating to 1917. Both of these Colonial Revival structures were built to replace other firehouses destroyed in Salem's 1914 fire. The Architect, William D.Dennis The architect of the North Street Fire House/Hose House No. 6(as well as Hose House No. 5)was William Devereux Dennis(1847-1913),a native of North Salem who grew up in the family home around the corner at 15 Dearborn Street, and later lived for many years on Buffum Street. His father,Devereux Dennis,was a prominent carpenter and builder. In the late 19t'century William D.Dennis was Salem's leading architect. His obituary notes that for nearly all of his more than 30-year career Dennis was the only regular professional architect having an office in the city. An 1897 biographical sketch notes: "besides an immense volume of work for private parties, [Dennis]has designed the greater part of the construction and remodeling of public buildings in Salem of recent years"(Illustrated History of Salem, 1626-1897: 107). In addition to the North and South Salem fire department houses,Dennis' public works included the Bertram School building in South Salem(ca.1880;not extant),the insane wing of the almshouse(ca.1880;not extant),Men's and Women's Cottages at Salem Willows Park(1904-5), and the remodeling of the fire department house at 34 Church Street (1887,NRMRA). His first high-profile commission was the 1877-1878 remodeling of the First Universalist Church(211 Bridge Street,NRMRA). Later religious commissions included the Parish House for the First Universalist Church at 6 Rust Street(1887); Calvary Baptist Church(1904, 122-124 Bridge Street,NRDIS); Saint Nicholas Orthodox Church and Rectory(64-66 Forrester Street, 1908,NR)and the St.James parochial residence at 161 Federal Street(1889). Other commissions included remodeling the Deland House at 132 Essex Street into a library for the Essex Institute(1885, NRDIS),the Kinsman Building at 242 Essex Street(1877,NRMRA); and the Newcomb Building at 3-7 Central Street (1886,NRMRA). Dennis is also known to have designed his own house at 40 Buff nn Street(1886). The designs of W.D. Dennis are typical of the late 19'"century and reflect the many eclectic styles that found popularity during the period. His buildings freely mix elements of many styles, including the Italianate,Eastlake/Victorian Gothic, Queen Anne,and Colonial Revival. Dennis' exuberant design for the wood-frame Bertram School (not extant) combined Stick Style sheathing and porch details with bold brackets at the cornice and above the varied windows. The St. James Church residence at 161 Federal Street exhibits many of the same features while Dennis's own home at 40 Buffum is representative of the gable-front Queen Anne houses found throughout Salem,with a bracketed and pedimented doorhood at the sidehall entrance,an adjacent two-story bracketed bay, cornice brackets, and ornamental bargeboards. The Newcomb Building is a three-story brick commercial block with a brick corbel cornice, decorative brick belt courses, and a mix of arched and rectangular windows with brick lintels and stone endblocks. The Kinsman Building is a simpler,two- story brick block. The design for the North Street Fire Station and the former Ward 5 Fire House on Lafayette Street(not extant) are consistent with Dennis' style of mixing decorative elements and styles. The arched, upper-level window opening.on the fagade of the Lafayette Street firehouse was emphasized by polychromatic voussoirs,while the remaining windows had brick lintels with stone endblocks,as seen on the Newcomb Building. The square hose tower was capped by a truncated,polychromatic roof with a gable on each face and a pyramidal cap. The North Street tower was open with. an elongated pyramidal roof(figure 1). The North Street Fire Station has seen continued service as a local firehouse since its construction in 1881, and continues to serve that function today.

Governor Secretary TIMOTHY P.MURRAY KENNETH L.KIMMELL Lieu nant Governor Commissioner January 9,2013 Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority(MBTA) Andrew Brennan Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority 10 Park Plaza, Suite 3910 Boston,MA 02116 RE: Written Determination Pursuant to MGL Chapter 91 Waterways Application No. W 12-3702-N Salem Intermodal Station, Filled Tidelands of the North River, Salem Dear Mr. Brennan: The Department hereby issues this Written Determination,pursuant to MGL Chapter 91,the Public Waterfront Act, and 310 CMR 9.00,the Waterways regulations,of its intent to approve the referenced application,subject to the attached conditions. The site totals 5.7 acres in area and includes the existing train platform, rail tine,a parking lot with approximately 344 spaces, and open space and walkways. The entire site is located on filled tidelands, which are considered Conunonwealth Tidelands due to the ownership of the site by the MBTA,a public agency(310 CMR 9.02). The project includes: the construction of a five-story space parking garage with over 700 spaces, an interior waiting area,restrooms,and a pedestrian bridge to Washington Street;new site drives and entryways for autos,pedestrians,and bicyclists;replacement of the train platform; rehabilitation of the existing historic signal tower;and a small publicly accessible open space area. The project will make the station fully accessible to persons with disabilities. The project has been reviewed as a Nonwater-dependent Infrastructure Facility, and is therefore subject to the standards at 310 CMR 9.55 rather than the nonwater-dependent standards at 310 CMR 9.51-9.53. The project does not include any in-water work or structures seaward of the mean high water mark, nor will the proposed facility affect waterborne commerce. The project will include stormwater management measures and flood/erosion controls in compliance with the Order of Conditions issued for the project. The project proponent has consulted with the appropriate historical agencies and has entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with the Massachusetts Historical Commission that details the historic preservation measures related to the signal tower and underground archaeological resources that will be undertaken at the site. The project will improve public access to the tidelands at the site.by providing better pedestrian and bicycle access and related facilities, including a small open space area adjacent to the train platform with interpretive signage,and restroom and other facilities in the parking garage. Based on this analysis, the Department finds that the project complies with the relevant provisions of 310 CMR 9.55. This information Is available in alternate format.Call Michelle Waters-Ehansm,Diversity Director,at 617-2925761.TDD#1-866-579-7841 or 1.617.574.6868 MassDEP Website:www.mass.gov/dep Printed on Recycled Paper Waterways Application No. W12-3702-N Written Determination and Conditions Page 2 of 10 FINDINGS: 1. The Department determines that this generating facility is a nomvater-dependent infrastructure facility pursuant to 310 CMR 9.12(2)(c)and 310 CMR 9.55. Given that the project does not consist entirely of water-dependent uses,the Department has processed the application as a nonwater-dependent use project in accordance with 310 CMR 9.12(1). 2. The Department determines that the entire 5.7 acre project site is located on filled tidelands within a ` geographic area subject tojurisdiction under MGL Chapter 91 pursuant to 310 CMR 9.04(2). Since the site is owned by a public agency, the tidelands are considered to be Commonwealth Tidelands. 3. The Department determines that the required public notice was published by the Applicant on October 5, 2012 in the Salem News,and associated public hearing held at the Salem City Hall Annex, 120 Washington Street, on October 11, 2012. Most public continents received at the hearing and during the comment period were supportive of the project. Other commenters at the hearing indicated that a previous plan considered by the proponent would provide better waterfront access and should be implemented, The proponent responded that the suggestion is not feasible because an active rail line exists between the station and the river,and that allowing pedestrian access across that active line. will require measures to ensure that the crossing is safe for pedestrians,and would require the MBTA to reimburse the entity with rights in the active rail line. Another commenter suggested that reuse of the signal tower should be explored.The proponent responded that the Memorandum of Agreement between the MBTA,the Massachusetts Historical Commission,and the City of Salem provides for such an opportunity. A comment letter was received that stated that the Planning Board must provide comments to the Department according to section IS of the c. 91 statute. The Planning Board submitted a letter to the Department dated December 7, 2012 that stated that the project will not be detrimental to public rights in tidelands and the project serves as proper public purpose. 4. The Department determines that relevant documentation regarding compliance with the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act(EEA No. 14920),planning board receipt of application has been provided,and Massachusetts Historical Commission procedures. Pursuant to 310 CMR 9.11(3)(c)(3)(f),the proponent provided an explanation as to why it is appropriate to issue this Written Determination prior to receipt of a final Order of Conditions under Wetlands Protection Act. This Written Determination requires that the applicant submit to MassDEP a copy of the final Order of Conditions prior to license issuance. 5. The Department determines that the project,as conditioned,complies with all applicable standards of the Waterways regulations, including the special standards for nonwater-dependent infrastructure facilities use projects at 310 CMR 9.55. Furthermore,no overriding detriment to a public interest has been identified to overcome the presumption that the project serves a paper public purpose in accordance with 310 CMR 9.31(3). Therefore,the Department determines that the proposed project serves a proper public purpose which provides greater public benefit than detriment to the public's rights in said tidelands. 6. Pursuant to 310 CMR 9.13(2), in the absence of a written comment letter from the Office of Coastal Zone Management(CZM)during the comment period,the Department presumes that the proposed project is consistent with all applicable policies of CZM. Section 61 Findings These Findings for the Salem hrtermodal Station project(EEA# 14920)have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of M.G.L.c.30,Section 61 and 301 CMR 11.00.On August 24,2012 the Secretary of the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs issued a Final Record of Decision granting a waiver from the need fertile proponent to prepare a full Environmental Impact Report. Construction of the building has the potential to impact the public's right to access filled private and Commonwealth tidelands at the site. Water%vays Application No. W12-3702-N Written Determination and Conditions Page 3 of 10 The Department has reviewed the MEPA documents and the documents submitted in connection with the application for a license.The project is a public infrastructure project that will improve access to public transportation. In addition,the project will provide public pedestrian and bicycle access improvements r. and interior facilities,stormwater management controls, and energy efficiency measures.Based upon its review, the Department finds that implementation of the ternis and conditions of this proposed license constitute all feasible measures to avoid damage to the environment and will minimize and mitigate such damage to the maximum extent practicable. Implementation of the mitigation measures will occur in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the proposed license conditions. In the issuance of this approval,the Department has considered the reasonably foreseeable climate change impacts, including additional greenhouse gas(GHG)emissions and effects as addressed in the EENF through the MEPA Greenhouse Gas Emissions Policy and Protocol and the GHG emission mitigation/adaptation measures adopted by the proponent in the EENF and referenced in the final Certificate on the EENF. This Finding incorporates by reference said mitigationladaptation measures. Upon completion of project construction,the project proponent for which this permit was issued is required to provide a certification to the MEPA Office signed by an appropriate professional(e.g.civil engineer,traffic engineer, architect,general contractor)indicating that all applicable GHG mitigation measures, or equivalent measures that are designed to collectively achieve the proposed stationary source GHG emission reduction committed to in the EENF, have been incorporated into the project.As directed by the Certificate on the EENF and Final Record of Decision,the proponent shall commit to provide this self-certification. On the basis of the foregoing analysis,the Department will approve the proposed structures and uses described herein. This Determination is subject to the attached special conditions to be carried out by the referenced Applicant(hereinafter the "Licensee"). These special conditions will be included, in substantially the same form, along with the standard conditions, with the final Chapter 91 Waterways license to be issued pursuant hereto. This Determination, including the attached Special Conditions, is subject to appeal as described in more detail herein.The Waterways License will be granted if no appeals t are filed with the Department within 21 days of the issuance of this Written Determination.
