Subject: Notice of Intent—Geotechnical Exploratory Boring Program
Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC—Salem Lateral Project
Dear Ms. Knisel:
Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC ("Algonquin"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Spectra Energy
Transmission, LLC ("Spectra Energy"), proposes to conduct a geotechnical survey within the City
of Salem as part of the design of the proposed Salem Lateral Project. The Salem Lateral Project
will consist of a new 16-inch diameter pipeline and associated meter and regulator station
facility to transport natural gas to the Footprint Power facility from Algonquin's existing
HubLine pipeline located in Beverly Harbor.
Algonquin is currently analyzing a number of construction techniques for pipe installation
associated with the Salem Lateral Project, including the use of horizontal directional drilling'
("HDD") and the installation of coffer dam facilities to interconnect the proposed pipeline to
the existing HubLine Pipeline and the proposed Footprint Power facility. The feasibility of using
these installation techniques is largely dependent upon the subsurface conditions at the
proposed pipeline location. Therefore, Algonquin is proposing a survey to characterize the
geotechnical properties of the subsurface. This survey involves collecting geotechnical borings
at locations adjacent to the proposed pipeline alignment to recover rock core samples that will
document existing subsurface conditions and bedrock properties. Geotechnical borings are
required for most major construction projects and the drilling operations are considered
routine.
Algonquin proposes to drill 13 geotechnical borings in the City of Salem to collect data along a
potential HDD pipeline alignment and coffer dam installation area near the existing HubLine.
Ten (10) of the borings will be located offshore and three (3) will be located onshore. The
enclosed Notice of Intent ("N01") Application form and supporting documents are being filed
with the Salem Conservation Commission pursuant to the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection
Act ("MWPA") and its implementing regulations at 310 CMR 10.00 and the Salem Wetlands
HDD is a trenchless construction method that would allow the pipeline to be installed below
Beverly Harbor and Collins Cove.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC ("Algonquin"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Spectra Energy
Transmission, LLC ("Spectra Energy"), proposes to conduct a geotechnical survey within the City of
Salem as part of the design of the proposed Salem Lateral Project. The Salem Lateral Project will consist
of a new 16-inch diameter pipeline and associated meter and regulator station facility to transport
natural gas to the Footprint Power facility from Algonquin's existing HubLine pipeline located in Beverly
t Harbor. Algonquin is currently analyzing a number of construction techniques for pipe installation
associated with the Salem Lateral Project, including the use of horizontal directional drilling' ("HDD")
and the installation of coffer dam facilities to interconnect the proposed pipeline to the existing HubLine
' Pipeline and the proposed Footprint Power facility.
The feasibility of using these installation techniques is largely dependent upon the subsurface conditions
' at the proposed pipeline location. Therefore, Algonquin is proposing a survey to characterize the
geotechnical properties of the subsurface. This survey involves collecting geotechnical borings at
locations adjacent to the proposed pipeline alignment to recover rock core samples that will document
existing subsurface conditions and bedrock properties. Geotechnical borings are required for most
' major construction projects and the drilling operations are considered routine.
Algonquin proposes to drill 13 geotechnical borings in the City of Salem to collect data along the
' proposed pipeline alignments within Beverly Harbor and Collins Cove. Ten of the borings will be located
offshore and three will be located onshore. In addition, in order to facilitate the geotechnical work,
Algonquin proposes to use divers to locate and mark the existing HubLine pipeline in Beverly Harbor
prior to the start of the geotechnical survey work. A U.S. Geological Survey ("USGS") topographic map
(Figure 1) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ("NOAA") Nautical Chart (Figure 2)
have been provided in Attachment B showing the locations each boring.
' The enclosed Notice of Intent ("NOI") has been prepared and filed with the Salem Conservation
Commission pursuant to the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act ("WPA") and its implementing
regulations at 310 CMR 10.00, and the Salem Wetlands Protection Ordinance (Ch. 50)'. Algonquin is
proposing this work as a utility limited project under 310 CMR 10.24(7)(b). As required, a copy of this
NO1 has also been sent to the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries for review.
' Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this application, nothing stated herein shall be
construed to indicate that any state, regional, or local agency referred to has the power to impose any
' requirement inconsistent with Federal law or to refuse to issue or to unreasonably delay the issuance or
processing of any state, regional, or local permit, license, certificate, approval, review, or other
requirement: nor shall this document be construed to limit Algonquin's legal rights under the Natural
Gas Act (15 U.S.C. § 717, et seq.), Pipeline Safety Act (49 U.S.C. § 60,101, et seq.), or the United States
Constitution, including, but not limited to,the Supremacy Clause and Commerce Clause.

' HDD is a trenchless construction method that would allow the pipeline to be installed below Beverly Harbor and
Collins Cove.
'Three (3) additional borings will be collected in Beverly Harbor in the City of Beverly. Algonquin is submitting a
NO1 to the Beverly Conservation Commission for this other geotech boring concurrently with the Salem NO1.

1 2.0 GEOTECHNICAL BORING LOCATIONS
2.1 Offshore Borings
1 Algonquin proposes to collect ten water-based borings in Salem;eight are located in Beverly Harbor and
two are located in Collins Cove. The Beverly Harbor survey area is located between the National Grid
1 property (Tax Map Parcels 37-0064 and 42-0100) to the south and Algonquin's existing HubLine pipeline
to the north. Four water-based borings in Beverly Harbor are located in the intertidal zone and four
borings are located in the sub-tidal zone,while the two borings proposed in Collins Cove (B-12 and B-13)
1 are both located in the intertidal zone.
2.1 Onshore Borings
1 Algonquin proposes to collect three geotechnical borings in onshore locations in Salem. One onshore
boring (B-12) is located in a grass-covered area directly adjacent to a paved parking lot in the northwest
corner of National Grid's property at Pierce Avenue (Parcel 37-0064). This boring is located within the
1 100-foot buffer zone of a coastal bank and coastal beach associated with Beverly Harbor.
A second onshore boring (B-13) is located in a paved parking lot owned by the Ward 2 Social Club on
1 East Collins Street (Parcel 36-0277). Boring B-13 is located within the 100-foot buffer zone of a coastal
beach, coastal bank and salt marsh associated with the western shore of Collins Cave. Boring B-13 is
also located with the Federal Emergency Management Agency ("FEMA") mapped 100 year flood zone,
1 which is classified as land subject to coastal storm flowage.
The third onshore boring (B-14) is located along the southeastern edge of Szetela Lane, to the east of
1 Collins Cove. This boring is located within the 100-foot buffer zone of the coastal bank associated with
Collins Cove.
1 According to 310 CMR 10.02 (2)(b)(1)(g), activities within the buffer zone that are temporary in nature,
have negligible impacts, and are necessary for planning and design purposes (e.g., installation of
monitoring wells, exploratory borings, sediment sampling and surveying) are considered minor activities
1 and are not subject to regulation under M.G.L. c. 131, § 40. The wetland resource areas potentially
affected by the geotechnical survey are summarized in the following sections and shown on the permit
plan included in Attachment C.
1 3.0 WETLAND RESOURCE AREAS
A review was conducted of available data and mapping to define and characterize coastal wetland
1 resource areas in accordance with the WPA and 310 CMR 10.00. Available data was obtained from the
following:
1 • Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Wetland Data and National Wetlands
Inventory("NWI") Mapping;
• USGS topographic map (Attachment B - Figure 1);
1 • NOAA Chart (Attachment B-Figure 2);
• Site visits including a shellfish reconnaissance survey(see photos in Attachment D);
• Massachusetts Geotechnical Information System ("MassGIS"); and
1 Geotechnical Survey Notice of Intent 2 August 2013
Salem,Massachusetts
• Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental Affairs MassGIS — Department of Marine
' Fisheries (2000 data).
The sections below describe the coastal wetlands resource areas present at the proposed boring
' collection areas shown on Figures 1 and 2 in Attachment B and the permit plan in Attachment C.
Land Under the Ocean
' Land Under the Ocean in a tidally influenced water body, means "land extending from the mean low
water line seaward to the boundary of the municipality's jurisdiction and includes land under estuaries"
' according to 310 CMR 10.25(2). Land under the Ocean is likely to be significant to the protection of
marine fisheries and, where there are shellfish, to protection of land containing shellfish. Nearshore
areas of land under the ocean are likely to be significant to storm damage prevention,flood control, and
' protection of wildlife habitat. The four geotechnical borings located in subticlal areas of Beverly Harbor
(i.e., B-4, B-5, B-8,and 8-10) are situated within the Land under the Ocean resource area.
Coastal Beaches(Tidal Flat)
The six proposed geotechnical borings located within the intertidal zone of Beverly Harbor and Collins
Cove are within the "Tidal Flat" portion of the Coastal Beach resource area described in 301 CMR
10.27(2). Four of these borings are in Beverly Harbor and two are in Collins Cove. Tidal Flats are defined
as "any nearly level part of a coastal beach which usually extends from the mean low water line
landward to the more steeply sloping face of the coastal beach or which may be separated from the
' beach by land under the ocean".
Land Containing Shellfish
Land containing shellfish means land under the ocean, tidal flats, rocky intertidal shores, salt marshes
and land under salt ponds when any such land contains shellfish. As described in 310 CMR 10.34(3),
' Land containing shellfish is significant to the protection of marine fisheries as well as to the protection of
the interest of land containing shellfish. When a resource area is found to be significant to the
protection of land containing shellfish under 310 CMR 10.34(3), it is therefore also significant to marine
' fisheries. The following factors are critical to the protection of those interests:
a) shellfish,
b) water quality,
' c) water circulation, and
d) the natural relief,evaluation or distribution of sediment grain size of such land.
The proposed borings in Beverly Harbor are in an area identified by the Massachusetts Office of Coastal
Zone Management's (CZM) Massachusetts Ocean Resource Information System (MORIS) database as
suitable habitat for blue mussel (Mytilus edulis),while the two boring collection areas in Collins Cove are
identified as suitable habitat for blue mussel, soft-shelled clam (Mya arenario) and quahog (Mercenaria
mercenerio). In April 2013, Algonquin conducted a reconnaissance level shellfish survey along the
alignment in Beverly Harbor in the vicinity of Borings B-4 through B-11. During the survey, a wide
variety of mollusk species were encountered including blue mussel, soft-shell clams, quahogs and
oysters. As such, this area of Beverly Harbor and the two Collins Cove borings are located within land
containing shellfish.

Banks of or Land Under the Ocean. Ponds, Streams, Rivers. Lakes, or Creeks that Underlie an
' Anadromous/Catadromous Fish Run("Fish Run")
According to 310 CMR 10.35, fish run areas include those areas which have historically served as fish
runs and are either being restored or are planned to be restored at the time an NOI is filed. Beverly
Harbor and its associated tributary waterways,the Waters River and the Danvers River, are classified as
anadromous/ catadromous fish run areas. Anadromous fish found in the Project area include alewife
' and rainbow smelt. Striped bass are another anadromous fish found seasonally in the Danvers River,
although there has been no documented spawning activity. A striped bass sports fishery exists in the
river during the spring and summer. American eel, a catadromous fish, is also probably also found in the
' river. All of the offshore borings in Beverly Harbor and Collins Cove are located in an area designated as
a fish run.
Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage
' Land subject to Coastal Storm Flowage is defined as land subject to inundation caused by coastal storms
up to and including that caused by the 100-year storm, surge of record or storm of record, whichever is
' greater, according to 310 CMR 10.04. Eleven (11) of the thirteen (13) geotech borings in Salem are
located within Land Subject to Coastal Flowage according to the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps
(FIRMS) for the City of Salem3. Onshore boring B-13 is located within Flood Zone AE (Elevation 9') and
the ten offshore borings are in Zone VE (Elevation 13' in Beverly Harbor and Elevation 12' in Collins
Cove). The permit plans in Attachment C show the FEMA Flood Zones in Salem.
' Estimated Rare/Endangered and Priority Mapped Habitats
No estimated rare/endangered and priority mapped habitats occur at any of the proposed boring
' locations (MDFW 2013). Given the densely developed condition of the onshore portion of the pipeline
routes, land-based natural resource issues are anticipated to be minimal.
' 4.0 DRILLING METHODOLOGY
4.1 Offshore Borings
' Algonquin will likely use a barge-mounted drill rig for the offshore boring work. Algonquin will use a lift
boat or jack-up style barge, which allows the barge to be raised above the water line and held in place
' on three or four legs during drilling operations. Once the barge has been positioned and secured, a 6-
inch casing is lowered through the barge to the bottom of the waterway. In order to facilitate the
geotechnical work around the existing HubLine pipeline, Algonquin proposes to use divers to locate and
mark the existing HubLine pipeline in Beverly Harbor. The boring locations shown on the plans in
' Attachment B and C are approximate and are subject to minor adjustments in location based on field
conditions.
' In soft sediments, the boring is performed by advancing a sampling tube, typically 2 to 3 inches in
diameter through the casing. The casing maintains the integrity of the bore hole and facilitates

withdrawal of soil samples. Samples are generally taken every five (5) feet by driving or pushing a
' sampler into undisturbed soil. Once bedrock is encountered,the sampler is retracted and replaced with
a core barrel equipped with a cutting bit. To assist the advancement of the drill in a rock substrate, a
water and bentonite mixture is utilized to lubricate the drill bit. This drilling fluid flows up through the
' casing and into an open fractionated steel tub/basin located on the barge deck. The fractionated
(partitioned) steel basin allows for sediments and bore hole cuttings in the drill water to settle out so
that the drilling fluid may be re-circulated and reused during the drilling process.
' Using the core barrel, continuous rock core samples, typically five (5) feet in length, are obtained from
the top of bedrock to the specified boring termination depth. The borings will penetrate to depths
ranging from about 75 to 100 feet below the bottom of the waterway for the borings associated with
the HDD investigation and approximately 25 feet below natural bottom for the borings associated with
the coffer dam investigation. Most water-based borings are completed in two or three days and all core
t samples will be taken away for analysis. A geotechnical baring crew typically consists of two individuals
to operate the drilling rig while a third person (usually a technician, geologist, or engineer) observes and
logs samples.
' For the water-based borings, the bore hole is not typically backfilled. The drilled cuttings and spoil
remaining on the barge at the completion of the drill (approximately one cubic yard) will be disposed of
back through the casing into the bore hole. All drilling fluid (bentonite) will be properly contained and
' disposed of at an approved location onshore. The estimated time to complete all offshore boring
investigations in Salem is about 3 weeks.
' Each drill location will temporarily disturb an extremely small area measuring only about 28 square
inches (i.e., 0.2 square feet) centered on the drill hole. Based on this, approximately 2 square feet of
Beverly Harbor and Collins Cove bottom area will be temporarily disturbed by the drill holes. Table 1
' provides a summary of the temporary disturbance areas and the coastal wetland resource areas
affected by the offshore borings in Salem.

' 4.2 Onshore Borings
Onshore borings typically utilize an approximately 40-foot by 12-foot work space that includes the drill
' rig, the boring location and adequate space to provide a safe working environment for the work crews.
The drill will bore a hole approximately 4-inches in diameter and will range in depth 70 to 100 feet deep
to penetrate through the unconsolidated upper sediments. Samples will be collected at each location at
' periodic intervals up to 100 feet deep, depending on the thickness of the different types of strata.
Borings will be advanced using a wash and drive method. This method produces a minimal amount of
' spoils and recirculates wash water, which is contained in a mud tub at the boring location. Boring B-12
will be set-up and drilled from an existing grass covered area and Boring B-13 will be drilled from an
existing paved parking lot. Boring B-16 will be drilled from an area adjacent to the eastern edge of
' Szetela Lane. The onshore borings are within the 100-foot buffer zone of nearby wetland resource areas
but will not result in any direct wetland impacts. Table 2 provides a summary of the temporary
disturbance areas and the wetland resource areas affected by the three onshore borings.

5.0 IMPACT AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION MEASURES
' The geotechnical borings are a temporary survey activity and should not result in any alteration in water
circulation, change in water quality, or others impacts to marine resources present in Beverly Harbor
' and Collins Cove. The disturbance area for each geotechnical boring will be restricted to the small
footprint of the drill bit and casing. Due to the nature of the borings (vertical drilling), no impacts to
marine fisheries and bottom habitat are anticipated since turbidity and siltation impacts will be minimal,
' if at all.
Drilling fluids will be recycled to the extent possible during the operation and drill cuttings generated
with this type of boring activity are minimal. Spill control materials and kits will be stored and available
' on the barge at all times and secondary containment will be used to avoid any discharge to the water.
Any accidental spills will be cleaned up and reported in accordance with all Federal and State
regulations.
' For the onshore borings, erosion and sediment control devices (e.g., straw bales and/or silt fence) will
be placed, as needed, around the bore hole(s) to prevent any migration of drilling fluid or cuttings into
nearby wetland resource areas.

' 6.0 SUMMARY
The intent of the geotechnical investigation program is to obtain subsurface geologic data along the
' potential alignment of pipeline facilities. HDD is a method that when done properly and with adequate
site specific information, can significantly minimize impacts to sensitive resources. This geotechnical
survey is a necessary first step in HDD design analysis.
' Potential impacts from this work are minimal and temporary in nature. The geotechnical borings
collected within Beverly Harbor and Collins Cove will not permanently impact coastal wetland resource
' areas. All activities will be performed in accordance with federal,state and local regulations, and impact
avoidance and minimization measures will be utilized to protect coastal wetland resource areas.

Tom,
Thanks for the opportunity to review the conditions. As you are aware, many of these conditions are targeted for typical
construction projects so they don't really apply to the survey work. Accordingly, we have a few suggested deletions
based on the survey work we are proposing:
Conditions#25, 27 to 28 and 32 to 34- These conditions don't really apply to the geotech boring operation so we
suggest that they be removed.
Conditions#39 (2) and (3). - We will not have any as-built plans because we are not building anything and there is
nothing for a PE to sign.
Thanks and see you tonight.
Rick

Subject: Spectra Energy (Geotechnical Survey Salem Lateral Project) DMF comment
To: Amy Maxner and Beverly Conservation Commission &Tom Devine and Salem Conservation Commission:
MarineFisheries has reviewed the NO1 filing for the Geotechnical Survey submitted on behalf of Algonquin Gas
Transmission, LLC. The proponent is requesting to drill 3 geotechnical borings in waters of the City of Beverly and 13 in
the City of Salem. The intertidal boring locations are in areas of mapped shellfish habitat for blue mussel, soft shell
clams, and quahogs. Borings number B1-B6 are located in potential eelgrass habitat that was mapped by DEP in 2001
(Figure 1.). We recommend that the contractors use a camera or divers to ensure that the borings B1-B6 are not directly
over eelgrass. Otherwise, we expect minimal impact from the scope of work and we have no further resource
recommendations.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this project. Please contact me at 978-282-0308 x 169 or at
Tay.Evans@state.ma.us if you have any questions about This review.
