Dear Mr. Stedman:
As requested, we are submitting this letter to support MassDOT's application to the Salem .
Conservation Commission for a Certificate of Compliance for the above referenced project (DEP File
No. 64-543).
The Causeway Park Project (now known as Remond Park) redeveloped the remaining portion of the
previous Route 1A drawbridge into a public park with landscaping, parking, sitting areas, and a fishing
pier.
Jacobs served as the Design Engineer and provided construction services, such as shop drawings and
RFI (Request for Information) review throughout the construction phase. We have reviewed the plans
dated June 28, 2012 submitted as part of the Notice of Intent (NOI) and have prepared red line plans to
indicate any deviations in the built condition from the proposed design.
We note the following design modifications on the attached plan dated July 5, 2016.
• Invert of DMH-2 lowered due to Verizon ductbank
• DMH-7 changed to a shallow structure due to Class B rock
• Inverts of CB-6, DMH-7 and CBGI-8 were raised due to Class B rock
• Structure CBGI-9 added adjacent to sidewalk near Black Lobster restaurant.
With the exception of the above mentioned design modifications to the drainage system, the project
was built as proposed.

19. The work associated with this Order(the"Project') is (1)® is not(2) ❑ subject to the
Massachusetts Stormwater Standards. If the work is subject to the Stormwater
Standards,then the project is subject to the following conditions:
a) All work, including site preparation, land disturbance, construction and redevelopment,
shall be implemented in accordance with the construction period pollution prevention and
erosion and sedimentation control plan and, if applicable,the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan required by the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System
Construction General Permit as required by Stormwater Condition 8. Construction period
erosion, sedimentation and pollution control measures and best management practices
(BMPs) shall remain in place until the site is fully stabilized.
b) No stormwater runoff may be discharged to the post-construction stormwater BMPs
unless and until a Registered Professional Engineer provides a Certification that:
i. all construction period BMPs have been removed or will be removed by a date certain
specified in the Certification. For any construction period BMPs intended to be converted
to post construction operation for stormwater attenuation, recharge, and/or treatment, the
conversion is allowed by the MassDEP Stormwater Handbook BMP specifications and that
the BMP has been properly cleaned or prepared for post construction operation, including
removal of all construction period sediment trapped in inlet and outlet control structures;
ii. as-built final construction BMP plans are included, signed and stamped by a Registered
Professional Engineer, certifying the site is fully stabilized;
iii.any illicit discharges to the stormwater management system have been removed, as per

c) The landowner is responsible for BMP maintenance until the issuing authority is
notified that another party has legally assumed responsibility for BMP maintenance. Prior
to requesting a Certificate of Compliance, or Partial Certificate of Compliance, the
responsible party(defined in General Condition 18(e)) shall execute and submit to the
issuing authority an Operation and Maintenance Compliance Statement ("O&M Statement)
for the Stormwater BMPs identifying the party responsible for implementing the stormwater
BMP Operation and Maintenance Plan ("O&M Plan") and certifying the following: i.) the

drainage easement, assumes responsibility for maintaining each BMP. To overcome this
presumption, the landowner of the property must submit to the issuing authority a.legally
binding agreement of record, acceptable to the issuing authority, evidencing that another
entity has accepted responsibility for maintaining the BMP, and that the proposed
responsible party shall be treated as a permittee for purposes of implementing the
requirements of Conditions 18(f) through 18(k)with respect to that BMP. Any failure of the
proposed responsible party to implement the requirements of Conditions 18(f) through
18(k)with respect to that BMP shall be a violation of the Order of Conditions or Certificate
of Compliance. In the case of stormwater BMPs that are serving more than one lot, the
legally binding agreement shall also identify the lots that will be serviced by the stormwater
BMPs. A plan and easement deed that grants the responsible party access to perform the
required operation and maintenance must be submitted along with the legally binding
agreement.

Notice of Intent

Existing Conditions
1 1 Introduction
The work proposed under this Notice of Intent involves the redevelopment of the
' northern portion of Bridge Street and the remaining portion of the Beverly-Salem Bridge.
The project will create a public parkland space, a fishing area and increase access to the
waterfront at the Danvers River. This project is being undertaken by MassDOT as a
mitigation requirement from the Salem Transportation Improvements Project that
included the new Veterans Memorial Bridge, the Bridge Street bypass, the
reconstruction of Bridge Street, Leslie's restaurant in Salem, and Harbor front
improvements in Beverly. The Chapter 91 license (3146 — issued 1992) for that project
includes the following Special Condition
The licensee shall construct, landscape and maintain in good
repair a public park and passive recreation area at the causeway
of existing Route 1A bridge in Salem. The referenced public park
shall include the following amenities: a pedestrian fishing area,
handicapped accessible walkway with a minimum width of ten
feet, landscaping, benches, appropriate lighting and trash
receptacles....in addition the licensee shall explore all reasonable
opportunities to include a parking area for park users....
The proposed transportation improvements have been constructed and the Veterans
Memorial Bridge opened to traffic in 1997. On August 24, 2006 MassDOT held a public
information session at Salem City Hall to discuss preliminary design and solicit public
input on conceptual design for the Salem Causeway Park. It was generally agreed that
the park would be used for fishing and passive recreation. Green space and seating
were also desired. The NOI plans reflect this input and conform to the requirements set
forth in the Chapter 91 license conditions.
1� Permits: The Salem Conservation Commission issued an Order of Conditions in 1991
(DEP file Number 64-197) for the work associated with the Salem Transportation
Improvements Project, including the Veteran Memorial Bridge. The Notice of Intent did
not include the proposed parkland improvements because it was filed prior to the
Chapter 91 license that requires the park. This Notice of Intent covers the parkland
improvements only.
2 Project Area Conditions
Locus: The project is located at the northern end of Bridge Street where the roadway
historically connected to the Beverly/Salem Bridge, crossing the Danvers River channel
between the two towns. The northernmost end of the roadway is now closed to traffic
and is located on a raised riprap slope above a tidal waterway (North River). See Figure
1.
Floodplain: The area is within the coastal zone. FEMA has mapped the area as zone
V3 (EL 10 ) and Zone A2(EL 13).
Topography: The project is located on an existing elevated causeway with steep riprap
A-1
I Salem Causeway Park
Notice of Intent
Exhibit A
slopes (1.5:1). The roadway section measures 42 feet in width with an 8 foot 6 inch
sidewalk and 2 foot shoulder to the slope.
Soils: The project site consists of a paved surface and large riprap slopes. The NRCS
on line soil survey lists the soils in this area as Urban Land. Historical borings are
included in Exhibit B, sheet 4 and indicated soils below the causeway as typical of
intertidal soils with layers of silt, shells and coarse sand overlaying ledge and clay soils.
' Land Uses and Property Ownership in the Area: Stromberg's restaurant is located to
the west of the project, and a market and parking area is located t the east. Neither of
these properties will be impacted by the work. There are no proposed easements or
takings.
3 Wetland Resource Areas Identified
Land Under Ocean The project is located adjacent to the Danvers River. The river is
tidal and exposed mud flats are present at low tide. There are no vegetated wetlands
within the project area. The resource area is regulated under the Massachusetts
Wetlands Protection Act Regulations as Land Under Ocean. There is no submerged
aquatic vegetation present.
According with WPA regulations, Land Under Oceans extends from mean low water
seaward to the boundary of the municipalities jurisdiction and includes land under
estuaries. Land Under Ocean is presumed to be significant to the protection of marine
fisheries, and in areas where there are shellfish, significant to the protection of shellfish.
1 The near shore areas are presumed to be significant to storm damage prevention, flood
control and wildlife habitat.
The project is located on a riprap causeway several feet above the resource area. No
work is proposed below the high tide line. See photos below for existing conditions.
Riverfront Area The areas within 200 feet of the Danvers River are considered
riverfront. Riverfront areas within the project consist of the riprap causeway slope and
the roadway surface. The pier is located above the river itself. The riverfront area within
the project is developed and not significant to the interests of the Act
Coastal Bank: The top of the slope of the rip rap embankment is defined as coastal
bank under Massachusetts regulations.
' Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage: Is defined as land subject to any 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. FEMA shows the project area as VE —
"Coastal areas with a 1% or greater chance of flooding and an additional hazard
associated with storm waves".

Exhibit A
Proposed Work
' 1. General Project Description
' The project area includes the width of Bridge Street from the Bridge Street Connector, to
the old Salem/Beverly Bridge remnant. The roadway surface will be pulverized including
removal of curbing and railings. A 22 foot wide roadway leading to a 16 space parking
area will be constructed. Areas adjacent to the roadway and parking will be re-graded
landscaped and planted. The roadway will end in a circle, providing a turnaround area
for traffic. Beyond the turnaround, a park area will provide for passive recreation. Seven
' benches will be installed and a new 8 1/2 foot sidewalk will connect from Bridge Street
Connector along the new roadway and through to the parkland site and pier. Refer to
Exhibit B: Plans and Details for design plans of the proposed work.
The existing pier will be rehabilitated to provide a fishing area for park-goers. The
existing deck and pile caps will be removed and new decking will be installed on the
' existing piers. All existing piers will remain and there will be no new structures placed
within the Land Under Water Resource.
' The parkland area will be a mix of concrete pavers and decorative concrete.
2. Avoidance and Minimization of Impacts
' There are no proposed temporary or permanent impacts to jurisdictional resources.
All work to complete the roadway and parkland improvements will take place within the
footprint of the existing roadway surface. A siltation barrier (staked fiber rolls) will be
installed along the perimeter of the construction area prior to any work. Erosion control
barriers will be inspected daily and replaced or repaired when needed.
All construction debris will be removed from the site and disposed of off site.
Pier rehabilitation will be staged from the roadway surface and built in sections to allow
for the constructed deck to be used to stage the construction of the next, seaward
section. Pier demolition will similarly be staged from the roadway and existing pier using
a crane to remove the necessary sections of the bridge deck and stringers. This will
avoid any required disturbance to land under ocean that would be required with a
seaside staging effort. If the contractor deviates from this methodology, they would be
required to submit the construction methodology to the conservation commission for
their approval.
' Tarps or other material will be used to prevent debris from falling into the water from the
pier rehabilitation. Any construction material or debris that falls into the water will be
removed.

' The project is defined as a redevelopment project
Storm water currently runs off the roadway surface and is collected in two catch basins
' and discharged directly to the waterway. The new parkland area and adjacent roadway
will have a closed drainage system that includes a deep sump catch basin to provide
water quality enhancements over the existing condition. Catch basins will be directed to
' existing outfalls.
Storm Water Guidelines: The Storm Water guidelines and the project's compliance are
detailed in the attached storm water memorandum and are summarized below:
Standard 1: No new storm water conveyances (e.g. outfalls) may discharge untreated
storm water directly to or cause erosion in wetlands or waters of the Commonwealth.
The project does not propose to discharge untreated storm water to the Danvers River.
' Storm water runoff from will be directed to a deep sump catch basin before it is
discharged through existing outfalls.
Standard 2: Storm water management systems shall be designed so that the post-
development peak discharge rates do not exceed pre-development peak discharge
rates. This Standard may be waived for discharges to land subject to coastal storm
flowage as defined in 310 CMR 10.04.
The project will reduce overall impervious surface (by 3,700 sft). Post development rates
will be slightly reduced from pre development rates. The area constitutes Land Subject
' to Coastal Storm Flowage.
Standard 3: Loss of annual recharge to groundwater shall be eliminated or minimized
through the use of environmentally sensitive site design, low impact development
techniques, storm water best management practices, and good operation and
maintenance. At a minimum, the annual recharge from the post- development site shall
approximate the annual recharge from pre-development conditions based on soil type.
This Standard is met when the storm water management system is designed to infiltrate
the required recharge volume as determined in accordance with the Massachusetts
Storm water Handbook.
There will be no net loss of annual recharge in the project area. The post construction
condition will reduce the amount of impervious surface resulting in a slightly greater
' infiltration rate.
Standard 4: Storm water management systems shall be designed to remove 80% of
' the average annual post-construction load of Total Suspended Solids (TSS).
The proposed BMP's will result in a 25% TSS removal rate.
' Standard 5: For land uses with higher potential pollutant loads, source control and
pollution prevention shall be implemented in accordance with the Massachusetts
' A-12
Salem Causeway Park
Notice of Intent
Exhibit A
Stormwater Handbook to eliminate or reduce the discharge of stormwater runoff from
such land uses to the maximum extent practicable.
' The parkland is not defined as an area of higher pollutant loads.
' Standard 6: Stormwater discharges within the Zone II or Interim Wellhead Protection
Area of a public water supply and stormwater discharges near or to any other critical
area require the use of the specific source control and pollution prevention measures
and the specific structural stormwater best management practices determined by the
Department to be suitable for managing discharges to such areas, as provided in the
Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook.
' The project is not located within any Zone II or Interim Wellhead Protection Areas.
Standard 7: A redevelopment project is required to meet the following Storm water
' Management Standards only to the maximum extent practicable: Standard 2, Standard

Stormwater Report Narrative
1. Introduction
' As indicated in this Notice of Intent, the Salem Causeway Park Project consists of the
redevelopment of the northern portion of Bridge Street and the remaining southerly
' portion of the former Beverly-Salem Bridge. The project will create a public parkland
space, a fishing area and increased access to the waterfront. This project is being
undertaken by MassDOT as a mitigation requirement from the Salem-Beverly
Transportation Improvements Project
The proposed improvements include a reduction in the amount of impervious surfaces.
Currently, the project site consists of an approximately 600-foot long, 42-foot wide
' bituminous concrete roadway, an approximately 600-foot long x 8'/2-foot wide bituminous
concrete sidewalk, and an approximately 2,600 square foot timber pier. Under the
proposed conditions, the existing roadway, sidewalk and pier will be removed, and
replaced with the following newly constructed elements:
o A 400' long, 24'wide driveway
o A 160' long x 16' wide parking area
o New concrete sidewalks
o A 190' long x 50' wide paved park area, inter dispersed with landscaped areas
o A reconstructed timber pier.
All of the proposed elements will be constructed within the footprint of the existing .
roadways and pier. The inclusion of the various landscaped areas within the footprint
will reduce the total amount of impervious surfaces.
The total amount of impervious surface under the existing and proposed conditions will
be as follows:
Existing Conditions: 29,100 square feet (0.67 acres)
Proposed Conditions: 25,400 square feet(0.58 acres)
' 2. Drainage
' Currently, the existing roadway and sidewalk areas drain to a low point at approximately
its midpoint between existing Bridge Street and the timber pier. Stormwater is collected
in two catch basins and discharges directly to the waterway (at a point located at
approximately baseline Station 3+55 and 50 feet right).
The proposed drainage system will collect the storm water in new deep sump catch
basins, and release to the exact same discharge point. As indicated above, because the
amount of impervious surface will be reduced, the amount of stormwater runoff will also
be reduced.

The proposed Salem Causeway Park Project is defined as a redevelopment project.
The project will include a new closed drainage system that consists of new deep sump
catch basins to provide water quality enhancements over the existing condition. As
indicated above, the catch basins will be directed to the existing outfall.
1 Attached is a Checklist for Stormwater Report, indicated the project's compliance, which
are summarized below:
Standard 1: No new storm water conveyances (e.g. outfalls) may discharge untreated
' storm water directly to or cause erosion in wetlands or waters of the Commonwealth.
The project does not propose to discharge untreated storm water to the Danvers River.
Storm water runoff from will be directed to a deep sump catch basin before it is
discharged through existing outfalls.
' Standard 2: Storm water management systems shall be designed so that the post-
development peak discharge rates do not exceed pre-development peak discharge
rates. This Standard may be waived for discharges to land subject to coastal storm
' flowage as defined in 310 CMR 10.04.
The project will not increase impervious surfaces. Due to a reduction in the overall
amount of impervious surfaces, the Post development discharge rates will be reduced
from the pre development rates.
Standard 3: Loss of annual recharge to groundwater shall be eliminated or minimized
' through the use of environmentally sensitive site design, low impact development
techniques, storm water best management practices, and good operation and
maintenance. At a minimum, the annual recharge from the post- development site shall
' approximate the annual recharge from pre-development conditions based on soil type.
This Standard is met when the storm water management system is designed to infiltrate
the required recharge volume as determined in accordance with the Massachusetts
' Storm water Handbook.
There will be no net loss of annual recharge in the project area. Currently the project
' area is paved. The post construction condition will reduce the amount of impervious
surface resulting in a slight increase in infiltration.
Standard 4: Storm water management systems shall be designed to remove 80% of
the average annual post-construction load of Total Suspended Solids (TSS).
The proposed BMP's will result in a 25% TSS removal rate.
