RE: Notice of Intent for Proposed Switchgear and Duct Bank Installation, 89 Lafayette Street,
Salem, MA. ENSR Project#04940-103.
Dear Mr. Taormina:
On behalf of Massachusetts Electric Company (dba National Grid (Grid)), ENSR herein submits a
Notice of Intent for proposed installation of duct banks and switchgear within an existing easement at
89 Lafayette Street in Salem, Massachusetts. The proposed installation will be conducted along the
southern limits of the driveway of the Beverly Cooperative Bank. This proposed installation will occur
within the 200-foot Riverfront Area of the South River and within the 100-foot Buffer Zone of Coastal
Bank. No work will be conducted affecting the South River. The installation of the switchgear will
replace oil-filled transformers located within existing manholes in Lafayette Street. Duct banks
containing electrical conduits are necessary to connect the proposed switchgear with existing electrical
components in the manholes. This work is necessary to replace older, oil-filled equipment. The
company's goal is to complete the installation in spring 2006.
It is Grid's understanding that portions of the proposed work is located within Filled Tidelands and as
such, we will be requesting a Minor Modification from MA DEP's Waterways Department in accordance
with existing Chapter 91 Waterways Licenses for the site. As a portion of the project is subject to
jurisdiction of M.G.L. c. 91 and Grid is requesting authorization under 310 CMR 9.00 in the form of a
Minor Modification, the portion of work located within Riverfront Area is exempt from requirements for
Riverfront Area pursuant to 310 CMR 10.58(6).
The enclosed NOI includes a project description, characterization of the wetland resource areas, plans of
existing and proposed conditions, sedimentation and erosion control details, the appropriate fees and
application forms, and 100-foot certified abutters list, abutter notification, and affidavit of service. It is our
understanding that this NOI will be placed on the docket for your March 23, 2006 public hearing. Please
do not hesitate to call me at 978/589-3000 x3579 if you have any questions with respect to this filing or
require additional information to complete your review. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Massachusetts Electric Company, dba National Grid (Grid), is planning to install an electrical switchgear within
an easement located alongside the Beverly Cooperative Bank at 89 Lafayette Street in Salem, Massachusetts
(see Figure 1). The proposed work includes the removal of two oil-filled transformers in existing manholes
within Lafayette Street, installing approximately 275 linear feet of conduit, and installing an above-ground
electrical switchgear. This project is proposed by Grid to replace older, oil-filled equipment.
Although the proposed switchgear installation will be conducted in uplands in its entirety, a Notice of Intent is
required to permit activities occurring within the 100-foot Buffer Zone of Coastal Bank of the South River (310
CMR 10.30). No work will be conducted affecting the South River or within Coastal Bank.
A portion of the proposed work is located within Filled Tidelands and is subject to the jurisdiction of 310
CMR 9.00 (Chapter 91 Waterways Regulations). Grid is requesting a Minor Modification from MA DEP's
Waterways Department in accordance with existing Chapter 91 Waterways Licenses for the site.
Pursuant to 310 CMR 10.58(6)(i):
Structures and activities subject to a M.G.L. c. 91 waterways license or permit, or authorized prior to
1973 by a special act, are exempt, provided the structure or activity is subject to jurisdiction and obtains a
license,permit or authorization under 310 CMR 9.00.
As a portion of the project is subject to jurisdiction of M.G.L. c. 91 and Grid is requesting authorization
under 310 CMR 9.00 in the form of a Minor Modification, the portion of work located within Riverfront
Area is exempt from the requirements for Riverfront Area.

2.0 Existing Conditions
2.1 Wetland Resource Areas
2.1.1 Wetlands Resources
The Grid easement and the Beverly Cooperative Bank are located west of the South River. The South River,
a tidal river, terminates at the site and is entirely confined by a concrete and stone sea wall at this location.
' The site was inspected by an ENSR Wetland Scientist on November 29, 2005. The resource areas observed
at the site included Riverfront Area, Land Under the Ocean, Coastal Bank, and Land Subject to Coastal Storm
Flowage. Due to the presence of a seawall confining the South River channel and high pedestrian traffic in the
area, the limits of Coastal Bank were not hung with sequentially numbered flagging. These resource areas
and associated buffer zones are indicated on Figure 4 in Attachment B.
2.2 Soils
According to the Soil Survey of Essex County, Massachusetts, Southern Part(USDA, SCS, 1984), the area of
proposed work is categorized as Urban Land (Ur). Urban lands are soils that have been altered or obscured
by urban works and structures. The properties of these soils are highly variable.
2.3 Floodplain
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the City of
Salem indicates that the base flood elevations for the South River (Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage
(LSCSF)) at the site is mapped at 10 feet NGVD 1929 (Figure 2). A portion of the conduit and the switchgear
will be located within LSCSF. However, as the work will be conducted below-grade, the work area will be
restored to grade, and the project will not result in a net loss of flood storage.
2.4 Rare Species
Review of the 2003 Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program Atlas and the 2005
Priority Habitat mapping revisions (Figure 3)indicates that the project site is not within or adjacent to any areas
listed as Priority Habitats of Rare Species or Estimated Habitats of Rare Wildlife and Certified Vernal Pools.

3.0 Description of Proposed Activities
The proposed activities at 89 Lafayette Street will include the installation of approximately 275 feet of concrete-
encased conduit and the installation of an electrical switchgear. This work will be partially conducted within the
buffer zone of Coastal Bank and within Riverfront Area and Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage of the
South River, as illustrated on the attached plans (Attachment B). This section provides general details of
construction methodology, temporary impacts and an alternatives analysis for work within Riverfront Area.
3.1 Construction Methodology
Currently, two manholes located within Lafayette Street contain oil-filled transformers. Grid is proposing the
removal of these transformers and their replacement with an above-ground switchgear. The switchgear
consists of a metal-clad cabinet measuring approximately 5 ft by 5 ft 7 inches and will be mounted on a
concrete pad measuring 5 ft 6 inches by 6 ft along the southern limits of a Grid easement located adjacent to
the Beverly Cooperative Bank (see Figure 4). Grid is proposing the installation of duct banks to connect
' electrical components within the manholes to the new switchgear. Two duct banks will be installed that will
each contain four 4-inch PVC conduits and will be encased in concrete. These two duct banks will span east
across Lafayette Street from the existing manholes to the bank driveway where they will be joined. The duct
banks will span approximately 50 to 75 feet across Lafayette Street before joining. Where joined, the duct
bank will be installed approximately 130 feet east and will terminate at the proposed switchgear. This portion
of the duct bank will contain eight 4-inch PVC conduits encased in concrete. The duct bank excavation will be
up to four feet wide and not more than four feet deep.
Placement of these features will take place within the existing Grid easement between Lafayette Street and the
South River basin. Mechanical backhoes or excavators will be used to excavate the duct bank trench to the
desired dimensions. Once the trench has been completed along a specific reach of the alignment, the conduit
will be placed in the trench, encased in concrete, and covered with a minimum depth of 30 inches of clean fill.
All open excavations will be covered prior to the completion of each workday, and excess excavated material
generated will be transported off-site. Grid will properly dispose of surplus fill excavated, removed, or in
connection with its proposed work in compliance with applicable laws, including the provisions of 310 CMR
40.0460 (URAM)of the Massachusetts Contingency Plan to the extent they are applicable.
All areas of disturbed soil will be backfilled to pre-construction grade. The portion of the duct bank installation
' within Lafayette Street and the paved Beverly Cooperative Bank parking lot will be patched at the completion
of the installation. Where the installation occurs within grassed areas, a native upland grass seed mix will be
broadcast in an effort to expedite vegetation establishment.
To protect the wetland resource areas associated with the adjacent South River, Grid will install staked hay
bales around the portions of the duct bank within buffer zone and around the proposed switchgear location. If
necessary and as site conditions warrant, MECo is prepared to work avoiding the lunar high tides to minimize
the probability of having tidally-influenced groundwater entering the duct bank trench. Should any dewatering
be required, water will be pumped to a vacuum truck and will be disposed of properly off-site. All
sedimentation and erosion control devices will remain in place until the work area has been stabilized. The
temporary impacts associated with this project will occur in Buffer Zone, Riverfront Area, and Land Subject to
Coastal Storm Flooding. All work will be landward of the top of bank of the South River.There will be no work
conducted below the top of bank.
