We average around 40 applicants per year (less than 1% of residential properties). •Provincetown and Chatham have both adopted the CPA Exemption, they both report that there are very few applicants who are not already receiving the senior real estate exemption. •The CPA exemption is a tool that provides a little extra relief for those that need it. 2 / 6 / 2 0 2 3B R E W S T E R T A X R E L I E F O P T I O N S Additional Topic for Discussion: Senior Circuit Breaker MA Income Tax Credit All Brewster Seniors should be encouraged to file for Senior Circuit Breaker on MA Income Taxes. This is an existing state program that provides a refundable tax credit up to $1,200 Many of our seniors who currently apply for existing exemptions are unaware of the senior circuit breaker and do not file income taxes because of their low incomes The COA Outreach Workers and Tax Filing Assistance Programs can be a resource for these seniors so they can file their MA income taxes and get their Senior Circuit Breaker Credit. Because there are seniors that are not filing for the CB, it is difficult to project the true financial impacts of these exemption options 2 / 6 / 2 0 2 3B R E W S T E R T A X R E L I E F O P T I O N S Summary – The CPA Low Income Resident Exemption & Low-Moderate Income Senior Exemption, if adopted, could be in place in time for FY2025. This would be an exemption of the 3% CPA surcharge to Low Income households and Low- Moderate Income Senior households. There is no funding required to offset the exemption. The financial impact is a reduction in CPA surcharge revenue. This is true relief and based on residency and income.

Currently, the BCSO operates an eight -position regional emergency communications center (RECC). Our RECC answers 9-1-1 for eight communities, dispatches ten Fire/EMS departments, provides fire and EMS mutual aid services for all of Barnstable County, and provides CMED services for the four area hospitals. Over the past few years, multiple public safety departments on Cape Cod have indicated they would like to join our emergency communications center. As the newly elected Sheriff of Barnstable County, and with the support of the State 911 Department and Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, I am committed to building a new facility and expanding the regional 9-1-1 and dispatch services that we currently provide. The expansion is intended to service both police and fire departments. As we begin to understand the scope of this project, we are reaching out to the municipalities within Barnstable County to identify potential public safety partners in this important initiative. I would appreciate the opportunity to set up a time to meet with you so that we can discuss this project and the options for regionalization. My office will be reaching out to setup a time to meet and discuss the type of services we provide today, what we envision for the new center, and listen to how you think we can assist with your 9-1-1 and dispatch needs. Your feedback will assist us with properly sizing and equipping our future facility. I look forward to meeting with you. Very truly yours, Sheriff Donna D.

The State completed extensive public outreach and sought feedback from all Cape towns last year. The general goal for the regulatory framework is designed to enhance their requirements in mitigating nitrogen in coastal embayments. Town of Brewster 2198 Main Street Brewster, MA 02631-1898 Phone: (508) 896-3701 www.brewster-ma.gov Select Board 6.26.2023 www.brewster-ma.gov Page 6 of 7 Office of: Select Board Town Manager Still reviewing new regulations and related documentation but it looks like DEP was responsive to at least some of the Water Resource Task Force comments. Most important takeaway is that based on our current data and latest analysis, we do not expect that these new regulations will require the Town to mandate installation of innovative/alternative (I/A) septic systems or sewers in any part of Town. Brewster has been incredibly proactive, the new watershed regulations basically hold up the Pleasant Bay watershed permit that Brewster shares with Orleans, Harwich, and Chatham. There are 4 nitrogen sensitive watersheds in Brewster based on the new state regulations: Pleasant Bay, Herring River, Swan Pond, and Bass River. Under the existing Pleasant Bay watershed permit, Mr. Lombardi doesn’t think that residents will be required to transition to I/A technology or install sewer package plants. We may meet our obligations within the 20-year timeline without imposing any requirements on our residents. The analysis that has been completed within the Herring River watershed (area around Long Pond and Sheep Pond), has Brewster concerned about future building in the area, our nitrogen contributions don’t require addition mitigation. Brewster’s contributions to the Swan Pond and Bass River watersheds are considered “de minimis” according to the new regulations, the Town can have simple targeted means to address. The rest of Brewster drains to Cape Cod Bay and is not regulated under the new regulations. Mr. Lombard expects that the Water Resource Task Force will provide a full report to the Select Board and the Board of Health in the coming months. The Town co-hosted the annual ponds summit with the Brewster Pond Coalition, noting that the new regulations are focused on nitrogen, not regulating phosphorus contributions to our ponds. The Town takes pond water quality seriously and will continue to look at solutions. Mr. Lombardi highlighted correspondence with Senator Cyr and the pending legislation that may potentially triple the current state tax credit for failed septic systems to $18K, though the definition of a failed system will be reviewed. The Planning Board is hosting a public listening session this Wednesday the 28th at 6:30 to discuss potential changes to the Accessory Dwelling Unit Bylaw; residents are invited to attend and provide feedback. Mr. Lombardi congratulated Fran Schofield for receiving the Commonwealth Heroine Award for extraordinary public service, certainly well-deserved considering her many contributions to Brewster and the region.

We are applying to hold an outdoor concert at the Drummer Boy Park Gazebo that will be free and open to the public. The music group will be Mark209, a country and gospel group of four singers and one keyboardist from Nashville, TN. They are doing a New England tour in August and we have invited them to hold a concert on Cape Cod. We had them sing at our church last summer and they were well received by the people who attended. This year, we would like to offer their music as a free concert to the public. I have attended the summer Sunday evening concerts at Drummer Boy Park and it is a beautiful set- ting for such a venue. We anticipate this concert to be in a similar setup to those concerts where people bring their lawn chairs and enjoy the music while sitting spread out on the grass. Mark209 will sing from near the Gazebo. As a non-profit organization who seeks to provide services that benefit the community, we are asking for the fees associated with use of the park to be waived. In order for the concert to be free to those who attend, our church will be paying the $750 plus "free will" donation the group receives for their concerts. We are hoping to offer an enjoyable evening of musical entertainment in a beautiful outdoor Cape Cod setting for anyone who wants to attend. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

We will be using the park to host a staff picnic for the Alzheimer’s Family Support Center (AFSC). The AFSC, which now maintains two offices in Brewster, provides an array of no -cost services for individuals, families, and community members who are dealing with Alzheimer’s or other dementia-related diseases. Although our offices are located in Brewster, we provide our services to people in every town on the Cape. As a service-driven organization, our team works tirelessly on behalf of the people we serve; this picnic at Drummer Boy Park will be a way for us to thank them for the work they do. A fee waiver from the town would help make it possible to do a little more for them than we might otherwise be able to do. Many thanks in advance for your consideration, Melanie Braverman Co-founder, Cultural Director Alzheimer’s Family Support Center WA IL D1� rr TOWN OF BREWSTER WATER DEPARTMENT July 19, 2023 Brewster Select Board 2198 Main Street Brewster, MA 02631 Dear Select Board Members, Susan Brown Cynthia Baran Lemuel Skidmore Board of Water Commissioners The Water Department is currently working with Environmental Partners to prepare an application for the Asset Management Planning Grant Program. If we are successful in obtaining this grant, we ask for your approval. The Massachusetts Clean Water Trust (Trust) and Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) will provide up to $2,000,000 in grant funding for preparing Asset Management Plans for drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater systems to qualified applicants. The grant program is provided to assist Massachusetts communities and utilities with preparing asset management plans and provides grant funding of up to $150,000 or 60 percent of the eligible costs, whichever is less. This grant is intended to be used to update the existing Water Department System Study that was conducted in 2006. System Studies, also referred to as Master Plans or Comprehensive Plans, are crucial in identifying future operational and capital needs of the department. This allows the town to prioritize projects and budget accordingly. Attached is a general description of the services that will be provided as part of this project. This project is currently scheduled for funding in FY25 in the Capital Improvement Program. We estimate the total cost of the study to be approximately $250,000. The maximum contribution from the grant would be $150,000 and it would be on a reimbursement basis. Town meeting would need to approve the total sum of the project ($250,000) to receive the grant reimbursement. This is an opportunity to complete a needed study that was previously scheduled as part of the Capital Improvement Program with far less cost on water rate payers. We believe Brewster has a high probability of being approved for this grant. Respectfully, Paul Anderson Water Superintendent 165 COMMERCE PARK ROAD BREWSTER, MA 02631 PHONE: 508-896-5454 FAX: 508-896-4517 ENVIRONMENTAL G-= PARTNERS MASTER PLAN PURPOSE & SCOPE The challenges facing public water systems today are numerous and diverse, not the least of which is tackling the need for strategic and carefully conceived master planning. Extreme budget constraints, limited staff resources, and high public expectations on quality and service reliability all require the very best from management and their engineers. These challenges, in addition to rising water demand from development, new regulations, and increasing complexity, have prompted municipalities and engineers to use a holistic approach to analyze and plan for each sector of the water system, known as the "One Water" approach. The One Water approach analyzes a municipality's drinking water, stormwater; and wastewater sectors as one integrated system. An Integrated Water Resource Management Plan (IWRMP) details, evaluates, and plans for the water demand, regulations, and complexity of a municipality's One Water; creating a road map for the implementation of infrastructure and policy improvements as well as a management tool for addressing day-to-day operational issues and decisions for all three water sectors. An IWRMP is essential for the effective and efficient management of all aspects of a water system. Scope of Services Given our experience with similar projects and water distribution challenges, and our proficiency with drinking water quality, distribution and regulatory requirements, we offer the following Proposed Scope of Services. Task 1 - Description of the Water System Infrastructure Summarize and describe the Town of Brewster's water system infrastructure (storage tanks, treatment facilities, pumping facilities, major valve stations, distribution piping, etc.) to reflect the status, current capacities, and conditions, including: • Review system infrastructure age, size/capacity, materials, design life, technology (if any), anticipated maintenance or replacement, and ability to provide water at existing and proposed Drinking Water Regulations. • Detail chemicals used, facilities for receiving and storing chemicals, procedure for handling/treating/disposing of residuals and regulatory compliance for chemicals and residuals. • Review system efficiency, redundancy (e.g. interconnections) and resiliency for expected extreme events (e.g. power outages, flooding, etc.). • Review water system compliance with the Massachusetts Drinking Water Regulations. Task 2 - Description of the Water System Sources Assess the current quality, condition, and concerns of the Town of Brewster's existing water supply, including: • Condition and capacity of existing groundwater wells. Page 2 of 5 • Location, Zone I and Zone II descriptions, uses allowed in those areas, potential contamination sources, problems identified with Source Water Assessment Program (SWAP), steps to implement SWAP recommendations. • Discuss each source's permit restrictions, water quality, firm yield, authorized WMA registered and/or permitted volumes, and approved groundwater pumping rates. Task 3 - Evaluation of Supply and Demand Assess the ability of the Town of Brewster's existing water supply sources to meet existing and projected water demands, including; • Update the June 2017 Supply and Demand memo. • Review water use by usage category (residential, commercial) and review seasonal population variations. • Determine historic and projected demands: • Examine previous demand projects, specifically any approved Dept. of Conservation and Recreation; • Project growth within the existing service areas and the expansion of water system. If needed, propose new demand projections in compliance with Water Resource Commission's Conservation Standards and the Water Management Act Performance Standards; • Describe current conservation efforts, their effectiveness in reducing demand, and the systems compliance with the Water Management Act and the Water Conservation Standards. • Evaluate the sensitivity of demand to conservation measures (higher rates, wastewater reuse, low impact development bylaws, land use controls, etc.) and recommend future conservation efforts. Task 4 - Water Audit Evaluate the Town of Brewster's water system in accordance with the latest AWWA practices and utilizing previous five Annual Statistical Reports, including: • Identify the volume and sources of non -revenue water and recommendations for reducing unaccounted for water (UAW). • Conduct a water balance to identify portions of the distribution system with elevated water loss for targeted leak detection. • Summarize the age, type, and condition of water system service meters, master meters, and source meters. • Detail water use patterns. envpartners.com Page 3 of 5 • Detail program for calibration, repair, and replacement of master and residential/commercial meters. • Detail procedure for reading meters and billing usage. Task 5 - Assessment of Water Distribution Storage Evaluate the Town of Brewster's water storage facilities to meet existing and projected demands and fire flow requirements. An assessment will be completed for each pressure zone. Task 6 - Update the Water System's Hydraulic Model Update the existing hydraulic model of the water distribution system to include improvements and changes made to the water system since its last date of calibration, including: • Update water system demands based on the latest available calendar year of billing data. • Review up to 12 recent hydrant testing reports to check the calibration of the model. The Town shall provide tank level and pump flow rate data associated with the pressure zone of each test. Task 7 - Assessment of Water Distribution Hydraulics & Control Strategies Use the hydraulic model to evaluate the ability of the Town of Brewster's water distribution system to maintain pressure requirements of the Drinking Water Regulations, meet required fire flows and refill storage tanks during summer, average, and winter demand scenarios, including: • Develop seasonal demand multipliers (summer, average, and winter) based on a review of available billing data, representative SCADA data, and lists of seasonal accounts. • Coordinate with operators to review the typical schedule of major planned water system maintenance activities, including flushing, well rehabilitation, etc. • Review set points (on/off, VFD, and flow settings) for all wells during typical summer, average, and winter days. • Suggest control optimization strategies to maximize the availability of water on peak demand days and tank turnover on low demand days. • Review and develop control strategies for maximizing the availability of water with the largest source offline in each isolated portion of the distribution system. • Review the operation of altitude valves and the selection of a controlling tank. Task 8 - Review the Emergency Procedures Detail the current procedure and standards for issuing emergency orders (e.g. Boil Orders or Declarations of Water Supply Emergency), including: steps for notifying the public and applicable envpartners.com Page 4 of 5 agencies Recommend modifications or improvements in the event of mechanical failures, supply source contamination, power failures, chemical spills, droughts, main breaks, etc. • Discuss possibilities for interconnections with other municipalities or privately operated public water systems within Brewster. o Identification of potential operational and water quality issues (e.g. interconnections). • Review standard operating procedures for exercising and activating interconnections or standby systems. • Assess the long- and short-term risks of water shortages and the provisions to protect against those risks. • Prepare an engineering evaluation of long- and short-term actions to avoid Emergency declarations, costs and time estimate.

Consistent with the Select Board’s vote this spring on a revised committee charge, the Drummer Boy Park Advisory Committee consists of seven members, including one Natural Resources Advisory Committee member, one Council on Aging member, one Recreation Commission member, and four members from the community at-large. Following the Select Board’s Policy for Appointments to Town Committees, Dave Whitney, as Select Board liaison, and Town Moderator Charlie Sumner conducted application screening and interviews before submitting their recommendation for appointment to the Drummer Boy Park Advisory Committee. The applicants screening form and application materials were included in the For Your Information packet of the Select Board meeting on July 10, 2023. The term of the appointments will be through May 2024. The recommended applicants for the at-large seats are: Jillian Douglass Allyson Felix Devin McGuire Katharine Scott The following members have been recommended to serve their respective committees as voting members of the Drummer Boy Park Advisory Committee: Patricia Hughes – Natural Resources Advisory Committee Jay Green – Council on Aging Board Chris Ellis - Recreation Commission In addition, Ray Hebert will represent the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History, Bill Roberts will represent the Brewster Historical Society and Hal Minis will represent Brewster Conservation Trust. Office of: Select Board Town Manager Town of Brewster 2198 Main Street Brewster, MA 02631-1898 Phone: (508) 896-3701 townmanager@brewster-ma.gov MEMORANDUM TO: Select Board FROM: Peter Lombardi, Town Manager RE: Proposed Charge for Reconstituted Drummer Boy Park Advisory Committee DATE: March 30, 2023 In Summer 2020, the Town received $33,000 in state grant funds through the Community Compact best practice program to develop an updated Master Plan for Drummer Boy Park. Originally purchased by the Town in 1988, the first Master Plan for Drummer Boy Park was adopted by Town Meeting in 1995 and has informed the Town’s overall approach to the property since. With these grant funds, the Town hired a consultant, CDM Smith Inc., to review the park’s condition and uses, help develop plans and designs for expanded or alternative uses, estimate costs for such plans, and conduct public outreach regarding the park’s future. To shepherd this important work, the Select Board formed an ad hoc Drummer Boy Park Advisory Committee charged with evaluating existing and potential future uses of the Drummer Boy Park property and developing an updated Master Plan to present to Town Meeting. The committee was appointed in Fall 2020. The seven (7) member committee was comprised of one (1) representative from the Recreation Commission, one (1) representative from the Council on Aging, one (1) representative from the Natural Resources Advisory Commission, and four (4) Brewster citizens at large. Given their proximity to the park and shared interest in its future use, representatives from the Brewster Historical Society, Brewster Conservation Trust, and Museum of Natural History were invited to attend and participate in the committee’s meetings on a regular basis. The committee was supported by the Natural Resources Director, the Council on Aging Director, the Recreation Director, and the DPW Director. From December 2020 through June 2021, the committee met and developed a series of schematic concept plans that culminated in the presentation of a recommended plan to the Select Board in June 2021. Office of: Select Board Town Manager The goals of the plan were to: Preserve the character of the park and enhance the views of the bay Collaborate with the Brewster Historical Society and the Brewster Conservation Trust in preserving the character of the complex and enhancing its use Plan for increased use and provide additional access to and throughout the park Identify park use areas The plan identified two implementation phases. The first focused on improving parking, pedestrian access, and stormwater infrastructure. The second identified amenity upgrades to the playground, gazebo, and replacing the storage building (old gift shop structure) with a shade pavilion. Recognizing that the Town was then in the early stages of planning for a potential elevated boardwalk to Wing Island from Drummer Boy Park via the adjacent Cedar Ridge Reserve property, that possibility was referenced in the plan. The plan was presented to and unanimously adopted by Town Meeting in November 2021. Following the Town Meeting vote, the Select Board disbanded the committee in December 2021. In May 2022, Town Meeting appropriated $75,000 to advance design and permitting for Phase I improvements as outlined in the plan. The Town hired Horsley Witten to help develop their design plans and assist with permitting. In parallel with these actions related to Drummer Boy Park improvements, the Town secured $50k in state grant funding to advance design and permitting for a new boardwalk to Wing Island and a $30k contribution from a then anonymous donor via the Brewster Conservation Trust. Town Meeting approved $50k for this project in November 2021. To ensure coordination between the two projects, Horsley Witten was hired to assist in these efforts as well. In August 2022, the Town hosted a public forum focused on conceptual plans for the Wing Island boardwalk. Many residents expressed concerns about this proposal over the ensuing months. At the same time, Horsley Witten developed conceptual plans for Phase I improvements to Drummer Boy Park, seeking to formalize parking, improve drainage, and provide better and safer pedestrian access. The anticipated costs of this work were approximately $750k. In November 2022, Town Meeting did not approve the $255k appropriation proposed by the Town for Phase I, in large part due to concerns about the connections between this work and the proposed boardwalk. Following that vote, all design work was suspended and no further action has been taken in advancing Drummer Boy Park Master Plan implementation. The Town continues to maintain the property, including making repairs to the playground. In March 2023, a Special Town Meeting was convened to act on three citizens petitions. Article 3 originally sought to rescind the Drummer Boy Park Master Plan vote by Town Meeting of November 2021. Ultimately, Town Meeting voted to refer the 2021 Master Plan to a newly reconstituted committee to be appointed by the Select Board in consultation with the Moderator who would then report back to Town Meeting in May 2024. Although this process will be led by this new committee, there is currently no funding in place to support their efforts, outside of Town staff time. For the Select Board’s consideration, I offer the following draft charge for the committee: PURPOSE: The Drummer Boy Park (DBP) Advisory Committee will re-evaluate the 2021 Drummer Boy Park Master Plan and will deliver a report to the May 2024 Annual Town Meeting. This report may include an updated Master Plan, but any such plan shall not incorporate or include any new means of access to Wing Island. The DBP Advisory Committee is an ad hoc committee. APPROACH: The DBP Advisory Committee will review the overall goals and recommendations identified in the 2021 Master Plan and will determine whether any changes are appropriate. This review process should consider other recent Town strategic planning documents, including but not limited to the Town’s recently updated Open Space and Recreation Plan. It should also account for ongoing community input regarding potential future public uses of the Sea Camps properties. The DBP Advisory Committee will conduct public outreach and solicit resident feedback in developing their report for Town Meeting. MEMBERSHIP: The DBP Advisory Committee will consist of seven (7) members to be appointed by the Select Board in consultation with the Moderator and will include: one (1) Natural Resources Advisory Commission member; one (1) Council on Aging member; one (1) Recreation Commission member; and four (4) members from the community at-large. The Select Board will make appointments to seat the new committee as soon as is practicable. The term of committee appointments will be through May 2024. The Select Board will appoint a liaison to the DBP Advisory Committee. The DBP Advisory Committee will be supported by the Natural Resources Director, COA Director, Recreation Director, DPW Director, and/or Town Administration as necessary. Non-voting representatives from the Brewster Historical Society, Brewster Conservation Trust, and Museum of Natural History will be invited to attend and participate as appropriate. Once the Select Board approves the committee’s updated charge, we will then post an announcement on the homepage of the Town website and on the Town’s social media platforms soliciting letters of interest from residents interested in serving. The Select Board will then follow their standard committee appointment policy; however, in this instance, that process will also include the Moderator in the initial screening phase. Consistent with that policy, recommended candidates will be included in the FYI section of a future Select Board packet 2 weeks in advance of formal appointment.

MA 02631 Brewster Committee Appointments Town of Brewster 2198 Main Street Brewster, MA 02631 March 20, 2023 Dear Ladies & Gentlemen; Please accept the attached application and resume as my expression of interest in serving on the Town of Brewster Visioning Committee, or other support roles in relation to outreach and inclusion in Brewster's Local Comprehensive Planning and other public policy efforts. Brewster has an interested and responsive citizenry with lots of varied opinions and ideas. The Town has historically sought to include and solicit input from as many people and perspectives as possible. I am grateful to live in a community where our people are invited and empowered to participate in our governance and long-term planning. It is a constant challenge to reach out and engage those members of our community who are typically less -able, less - tuned -in, or less -inclined to participate. Brewster is diligent in its efforts, but we can always do better. I expect my 30+ years' experience and specialized training, related to State, Federal and Municipal law with respect to planning, public policy and labor relations to bring strong applicable skills for messaging, survey development, statistical analysis, research, narrative construction, consensus building, conflict resolution, reporting and compliance. I found my prior work on the Vision Advisory Group to be some of the most rewarding work we have undertaken. I would like to offer my time and perspective again, if it is thought my participation could be of assistance. Thank you for your time and consideration, and for everything you do to make and keep our Town so great. Sincerely, (.

As a member of the committee, I would hope that improvements to the park would make it a vital place for commerce, exercise, kids, and relaxation while preserving the history of the land and minimizing the environmental impact.

D. Walters, Building Commissioner RE: Permit Fee Revision Proposal Brewster Building Department permit fees were last revised in 2018. Prior to that was 2011. Thank you for allowing me to submit the following narrative along with the attached proposed Building Permit Fee Schedule Revision spreadsheet. I feel it is best to have the entire schedule and the comps all on one page. The proposed changes to the Brewster Building Department Fee Schedule are primarily intended to simplify the overall schedule. There are two main reasons for this: First, the existing schedule is overly complex, confusing, and in some instances, mathematically illogical. Second, the simplification is necessary so that fees can be programmed to calculate automatically in the OpenGov/ViewPoint online permitting system. Currently, the online permitting mechanism for per-square-foot fees is defaulted to manual calculation by the Local Inspector or Building Commissioner only, which is inefficient, time-consuming, and leaves open the potential for a fee to be charged at less than full value. It should be noted that in the fee schedules from other towns, fees are often based on a percentage of construction value, which is an amount provided by the applicant. This method tends to discourage accurate project value reporting. Permit fees based on square footage is the most inherently fair method. It not only encourages applicants to be more accurate in their reporting of construction project cost since it is independent of fees charged, but also because the square footages on which the fees are based are shown explicitly on the plans which the applicant has submitted as part of their application. There are Residential fee increases proposed in a few areas. These are highlighted in green on the accompanying spreadsheet. Some of these are primarily due to the need to simplify, such as eliminating some overly specific use types such as convertible vs. non-convertible storage areas, unheated sunrooms, and porches, each with their own per square foot cost, in favor of including all enclosed areas as a simple rate of $0.70 per square foot. This is reasonable because permit fees should for the most part reflect the number of inspections required as well as the amount of administrative and project review time spent on a given application. 2198 MAIN STREET BREWSTER MA 02631 Phone: 508-896-3701 ext 1125 Email: Building@brewster-ma.gov BUILDING DEPARTMENT Similarly, other proposed increases are changes to per-square-foot fees that are comparatively low and have not been increased significantly in over 10 years. For example, as shown in the attached Brewster Fee Schedule from 2011, decks were being permitted at $0.15 per square foot. They are charged currently (as of 2018) at $0.18 per square foot with a $30 minimum fee. This is not supportive of the administrative, review and inspection time the Building Department typically puts into the various steps in the permit process and leaves only $10 ‘per inspection’ to cover those costs. In other words, though they are typically less complicated to build, decks typically require a minimum of three building inspections (footings, frame, finish). A $30 minimum fee (currently for any deck up to 125 square feet) simply does not cover the cost of three building inspections. For comparison, the current average per square foot charge for a deck building permit across the six towns of Wellfleet, Eastham, Dennis, Harwich, Chatham, and Orleans is $0.49 per square foot. A similar proposal is being made for Non-Residential fees as shown on the spreadsheet. A minimum fee of $125 plus $0.75 is proposed for new non-residential construction, repairs, and alterations. A fixed fee of $100 is being proposed for maintenance projects such as roofing, siding or window replacement, analogous to Express Permits in Residential Fees. For garages and other accessory structures larger than 200 SF, three to five inspections (footings, frost walls, sheathing, frame, finish) are typically required. Brewster is currently charging $0.25 per square foot for garages and accessory structures with no minimum fee scheduled. A 300 square foot accessory building at $0.25/SF sets a fee of $75, which is less than the cost of one plumbing inspection ($80).The current proposal is to set a minimum garage/accessory structure fee at $100 and $0.70 per square foot in excess of the minimum fee, which more adequately covers Building Department costs. There are no proposed increases for many fixed fee permits. Some fees are simply being eliminated, such as the fees for an official zoning opinion, which I believe to be unnecessary. Overall, I believe these proposed fee modifications to be reasonable and in line with building fees for other towns in our area. Further, I do not think that the relatively modest fee increases in certain areas proposed here will significantly impact overall cost to applicants. Respectfully Submitted, F.

The seasonal dates of liquor licenses are April 1 through December 31 each year. The Alcohol Beverages Control Commission (ABCC) does not have a limit on the number of seasonal pouring licenses, Brewster currently has 5 establishments that hold an all-alcohol seasonal license and 2 establishments that hold wine and malt only seasonal licenses. The Select Board approved a Common Vicutaller license for Brewster Pico, LLC on July 10, 2023. The hours of operation are Sunday- Thursday 11a – 8pm and 11am – 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays. The restaurant has a total seating capacity of 35, which includes a small indoor dining area and outdoor patio with additional seating. As part of the application process, the Town Manager’s office placed an advertisement in the local paper and the applicant was responsible for notifying their abutters of their request for a seasonal liquor license. Additionally, the liquor license application was shared with various Department heads for their feedback and comments, the following was received: Planning Department- The proposed operation appears generally consistent with the terms and conditions of existing zoning approvals for the restaurant’s use. Health Department- The manager has completed all necessary paperwork with the Health Department. Building Department- Since the establishment has indoor patron seating and will be serving alcohol, an Annual 110 Inspection will be required. The Building Department has contacted Mr. Macedo to set up the 110 Inspection. Fire Department- Will attend the 110 Inspection with the Building Department, no other concerns with the application. Town Administration- Application will be submitted to the ABCC once approved by the Select Board, it is recommended that the application be approved conditionally once a 110 Inspection is completed. Police Department- There is no objection to alcohol service extending to all of the seating area outdoors, however, there must be clear signage and some delineation of that area, to prevent someone from taking alcohol from the designated area and wandering out to the parking lot, sidewalk, or bike path.

I am writing to you on behalf of my client Brewster Pico, LLC, which has submitted a Liquor License Application for a seasonal all -alcohol license for its new restaurant at 239 Underpass Road.

INTRODUCTION Eversource Energy, Eastern MA (Eversource) hereby submits this Vegetation Management Plan (VMP) in compliance with 333 CMR 11.00, Rights of Way Management regulations (Appendix 3).1 Eversource Energy, Eastern MA delivers electricity to approximately 1.1 million electric customers in 81 municipalities and has the responsibility to manage vegetation on company electric rights-of-way (ROW) and to ensure the safe and reliable delivery of electric power to its customers. Electricity is transmitted over 89 miles of electric transmission ROW, voltages 115kV, 230kV & 345kV and 55 miles of electric distribution ROW, voltages 4kV to 25kV throughout communities within Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts (Appendices 1 & 2). Eversource is responsible for maintaining its ROW free from hazards and encroachments. Vegetation can interfere with electric service causing interruptions by growing into the area around the conductors, falling into the conductors or blowing together. Vegetation can inhibit access for maintenance and inspection. Vegetation that comes in contact with conductors can ignite wildfires. Downed wires can be a safety risk to workers attempting to clear vegetation or others that come upon an incident and are close enough to come in contact with electricity. The Eversource vegetation management program provides for the necessary safety, system reliability, access to facilities, regulatory compliance, and security following utility vegetation management industry best management practices (bmp).2 1A partial list of the regulations that Eversource must comply with that relate to the activities in this document also include: Chapter 132 B, Pesticide Control Act (Appendix 4); all pertinent clauses in Chapter 85 of the Acts of 2000 (Appendix 8); MESA; MGL c.131, Massachusetts Endangered Species Act and its regulations, 321 CMR 10.00, Massachusetts Endangered Species Regulations; 310 CMR 10.00, Wetlands Protection Regulations; 310 CMR 22.00, Drinking Water regulations; Chapter 216, An Act Relative to the Emergency Service Response of Public Utility Companies; NERC Standard FAC-003-1, Commissioner Order 69, and all applicable Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, Department of Transportation and Department of Environmental Protection regulations. 2 Miller, R.H. 2012. Best Management Practices: Integrated Vegetation Management. Society of Arboriculture, Champaign, IL. Galen Guerrero-Murphy, Tim Follensbee II, and Jeff Disorda 2015. Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Protection of Threatened and Endangered Species during Integrated Vegetation Management and Operations and Maintenance of Electric Transmission Lines in Vermont. Environmental Concerns in Rights-of-Way Management, 11th International Symposium, Halifax, Novia Scotia. 2 Eversource’s program applies an Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) approach to controlling vegetation on its rights-of-way. IVM uses a combination of maintenance techniques that include mechanical, herbicide and cultural control. Herbicide maintenance application techniques are at the lowest effective labeled rate and are timed for maximum effect. The IVM based program encourages low growing plant communities that allows for the safe delivery of reliable electric service while minimizing the impact on property owners and supports a more diverse habitat for wildlife that depends upon early successional landscapes. 2. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Eversource is responsible to manage the property under its electric powerlines to ensure the safe and reliable delivery of electric power to its customers. To achieve this goal, Eversource has prepared this VMP to describe its practices and procedures for managing vegetation that is undesirable, presents a safety hazard, or is otherwise unsuitable to the intended use of the ROW. This section serves to communicate objectives that will be accomplished through the VMP, Yearly Operational Plans (YOPs) and notification processes required by 333 CMR 11.00. The following are objectives of Eversource’s vegetation management program: • To maintain ROW that ensures the safe and dependable delivery of electricity. • To manage vegetation that impedes ground and aerial inspections or interferes with the ability to access the ROW and structures for maintenance or emergencies. • To encourage stable early successional ecological communities of primarily low growing plant communities to allow access for maintenance and inspections and ultimately reduce the amount of herbicide over time. • To remove or manage incompatible vegetation on the ROW, along access roads, around structures, gates, and the perimeter of electric substations. • To control invasive and poisonous plant species. • To ensure that all vegetation management operations are conducted in a safe, effective manner and in conformity with all federal and state laws, regulations, and permit conditions. 3 3. IDENTIFICATION OF INCOMPATIBLE VEGETATION The intent set forth in Eversource’s VMP is all vegetation that obscure the ROW corridors and grow tall enough to interfere with the safe, efficient, and legal operation of an electrical power line is considered “incompatible” with the intended use of the ROW and therefore will be removed. Eversource Arborists will determine the type of maintenance methods. The management of vegetation within the established cleared limits of the ROW may be performed in one of two ways, a two-zone management approach or a one-zone approach. The method designated is based on the transmission facilities, number of facilities (lines) within ROW, width of maintained cleared limit or easement, topography, and plant community. Each ROW is designated as one or two-zone maintenance by the Eversource Arborist. 1. Two-Zone Maintenance. Management of vegetation within ROW clearing limits shall be performed in accordance with the two-zone maintenance concept for designated transmission ROWs. A wire and a border zone shall be developed and maintained in accordance with these specifications (Illustration 1, Diagram 1). Wire Zone: The wire zone shall include the area directly beneath the overhead conductors extending outward a distance from the outermost conductor(s) based on voltage: Voltage Class Wire Zone <230kV 25 feet >=230kV 35 feet Border Zone: The border zones shall include all areas from the Wire Zone limit to the edge of the maintained width of the ROW. Border zone widths are variable depending on ROW and extend to the edge of clearing. 2. One-Zone Maintenance Management of vegetation within ROW boundaries shall be performed for ROWs designated by Eversource as one-zone. The entire maintained width of the ROW is managed as a wire zone (Illustration 1, Diagram 2). 4 Illustration 1: One-Zone or Two-Zone Maintenance, and Wire Zone-Border Zone Approach. Diagram 1 Diagram 2 5 Examples of incompatible tree species include, but are not limited to: alder cherry pine aspen hemlock maple beech hickory oak birch locust sassafras Compatible plant species are generally encouraged on the ROW. Most herbaceous growth is acceptable and encouraged. Small trees and shrubs that mature less than 25 feet in height (Border Zone) are not usually incompatible unless due to their location or attributes they interfere with the function of the ROW. Some lower growing vegetation may be deemed incompatible because of their location and/or their nature. Dense woody vegetation, shrubs and vines are incompatible where they are capable of interfering with the inspection and maintenance of the poles, wires, access roads, paths, and gates, all of which need to be kept clear, especially for emergencies. INVASIVE, POISONOUS PLANTS AND NUISANCE PLANT SPECIES Eversource intends to selectively manage invasive, poisonous and nuisance plant species with herbicide spot treatment and mechanical methods within the ROW. These categories of plants are as defined below. Nuisance Vegetation Nuisance vegetation is plant species that pose a risk to the safety and health of individuals working on or traversing a ROW and it can impede a rapid response in an emergency. Example of nuisance vegetation include blackberry, raspberry, wild grapevine, greenbrier, and many invasive plant species which have heavy thorns, dense foliage and/or impenetrable stems. Poisonous Plants Examples of poisonous plants are poison ivy and poison oak. These pose a health hazard to Eversource personnel, contractors and the public-at-large; therefore, the company plans to use herbicides to spot treat poisonous plants at sites identified as having a risk of posing a health hazard. 6 Invasive Plant Species Invasive plant species are a significant concern throughout Massachusetts in areas that include ROW corridors where they can spread rapidly. Many of these non-native plant species were planted for their showy flowers, vigorous growth, erosion control and abundant fruits that attract wildlife. According to the Massachusetts Invasive Plant Advisory Group, "invasive plants" are non-native species that have spread into native or minimally managed plant systems in Massachusetts. https://www.mass.gov/service-details/invasive-plants These plants cause economic or environmental harm by developing self- sustaining populations and becoming dominant and/or disruptive to those systems. Eversource's program considers the management of invasive plants in specific locations. To ensure the accurate identification of vegetation, all vegetation management contractors are required to supply personnel trained to recognize plant species typically found growing on utility sites and to recognize the difference between compatible and incompatible vegetation. The identification or early successional communities that are preferred on an electric ROW will be included in this training. 4. INTEGRATED VEGETATION MANAGEMENT 333 CMR 11.01(1) requires that all rights-of-way managers “Ensure that an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach to vegetation management is utilized on all rights-of-way covered by 333 CMR 11.00.” The purpose of this VMP is to advance the consistent and safe operation of Eversource’s ROW using the appropriate industry standard IVM program. Eversource’s IVM program will use mechanical, chemical, and cultural control methods. Mechanical and chemical control methods are used to facilitate development of a low-growing plant community. These methods of converting to and sustaining a low growing plant community are referred to herein as “cultural control.” 7 Eversource’s IVM program takes into consideration all factors involved in the maintenance and operation of electric ROW that includes: • Conditions existing on its ROW such as topography and hydrology. • The most current treatment methods. • The intent to prevent unreasonable adverse effects to the environment and the safety and health of non-target organisms including humans. • Cost-effectiveness of the treatment both for Eversource and their customers, including the need to deliver energy products safely and economically. • Monitor the result of treatments to compare actual conditions to desired future conditions to improve the program.3 There is no single definition of IVM that suits every situation and every entity. According to the United State Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Pesticide Programs: “Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) is generally defined as the practice of promoting desirable, stable, low-growing plant communities - that will resist invasion by tall growing tree species-through the use of appropriate, environmentally sound, and cost-effective control methods. These methods can include a combination of chemical, biological, cultural, mechanical, and/or manual treatments. The IVM approach strives to manage vegetation and the environment by balancing the benefits of: Cost, Control, Environmental quality, Public health, and Regulatory compliance.” Integrated Vegetation Management Fact Sheet (October, 2008) (epa.gov) Eversource’s IVM program follows a combination of mechanical (mechanical— handheld and large equipment—methods) treatment typically every four years and herbicide (chemical methods) applications the year thereafter that support the ability to convert to a low growing plant community (cultural method). Plant life is governed by the relatively predictable process of change in composition or structure of ecological succession. Succession strives towards the mature (climax) forest but may be interrupted by natural or human disturbances both intentionally and accidentally. IVM programs are an intentional human disturbance that encourage early successional communities. This is achieved by discouraging the 3Christopher A. Nowak & Benjamin D Ballard. “A Framework for Applying Integrated Vegetation Management on Rights-of-Way.” Journal of Arboriculture 31(1) (January 2005): 28-37. 8 establishment of, and when necessary, removing certain types of vegetation. Eversource’s approach reduces the amount of herbicide used by using selective herbicides/application techniques at the lowest effective label rate, timing applications for maximum effect, avoiding fixed application schedules, using mechanical control techniques where appropriate, and encouraging low growing plant communities. Mechanical and chemical controls are the direct techniques used to target incompatible vegetation and include mowing, hand-cutting, side pruning, tree removals and herbicide applications. Utilizing these techniques allows lower growing plants the opportunity to form sustainable ecological communities. Regeneration of low growing native plants is an important part to our utility IVM program as it helps to stabilize the floor of the ROW with plants that are compatible with electrical conductors and allows access. Once achieved, early succession plant communities require less management thereby reducing future chemical use and disturbance caused by mechanical methods. There is over seventy years worth of evidence in New England showing that this approach has, over time, significantly reduced the per- acre application rate of herbicides on utility ROW and reduced the need for intensive mechanical controls. 5 Following this approach the company has over time, reduced the amount of herbicide used per acre. Under a mechanical only program our rights-of-way were once dominated by high stem densities of incompatible tree species. __________________________ 5Environmental Consultants, Inc. “Study of the Impact of Vegetation Management Techniques on Wetlands for Utility Rights of Way in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.” Prepared for New England Electric et.al, 1989; Environmental Consultants, Inc. “Determination of the Effectiveness of Herbicide Buffer Zones in Protecting Water Quality on New York State Powerline Rights-of-Way.” Final report for the Empire State Electric Energy Research Corporation, 1991; K.H.

MECHANICAL CONTROLS Mechanical controls include hand cutting, mowing of trees and incompatible brush, side pruning and removal of mature trees. Eversource vendors comply with the ANSI A300 (part1) for Tree Care Operations - Tree, Shrub, and other Woody Plant Management - Standards Practices (Pruning). The following section lists their uses and sets some basic guidelines. HAND CUTTING Definition: The use of chainsaws and brush saws to remove the stem of woody vegetation at ground level leaving the plant’s root system intact. Uses: • To remove incompatible vegetation on the floor (Illustration 1) of the ROW. • In chemical restricted sensitive areas where herbicides are prohibited. • Allows for selectivity in targeting incompatible vegetation. Operational Practices: • Trees are cut as close to the ground as possible so that stump height is close to the root flare. • Cut stems are windrowed or chipped. • Depending on the situation windrow are positioned parallel along the edge of the ROW corridor and should not exceed 2ft. in height. • Cut woody vegetation in yards or recreational sites will be chipped and disposed of or removed to adjacent areas. • Cut woody vegetation is not left on or across paths, roads, fence lines, stone walls or in waterways or in such a manner that would permit it to wash into these areas. • The placement of cut woody vegetation must comply with applicable State Fire Marshall’s regulations. • Chipping is used on sites designated by Eversource when leaving brush piles is prohibited or impractical. • No chips shall be left in wetlands. • All cut cherry and red maple is removed from private property active pastures as it is a hazard to grazing animals. MOWING Definition: The cutting, severing, of vegetation by rotary or flail mowers. These mowers, 10 usually ranging from 3-8 feet wide, are typically mounted on a four-wheel drive rubber-tired tractors or tracked vehicles. Uses: • Can be the preferred mechanical technique, especially on sites where extremely tall and dense incompatible vegetation makes hand cutting inefficient and expensive. • Where herbicides are prohibited. • To allow access for inspections of vegetation conditions during ROW patrols. Operational Practices: • Mowing may be restricted by terrain conditions such as steep, rocky sites or wet soils. • It requires the use of hand cutting methods next to obstructions such as stone walls and fence lines. • Mowing brush can throw large chips and debris great distances from the cutting equipment and requires employing someone to prevent people and animals from coming too close to the work site. • Measures may include matting of wetland areas, installation of silt fences and chipping and removal of all debris. • The bounds will be accurately located, to minimize erosion and potential damage due to ruts, and to minimize impact to the environment. SIDE PRUNING Definition: Side pruning of tree branches growing on or near a ROW. This management technique is usually accomplished using an aerial lift mounted on an off-road vehicle or mechanical side trimmer. Tree climbing is sometimes employed in situations where terrain prevents the passage of equipment. Uses: • Remove incompatible vegetation from growing into the conductors from the side. • Maintaining the edge definition of the ROW corridor. • To facilitate, expedite, and increases efficiency of the inspections of vegetation conditions during ROW patrols. Operational Practices: • All pruning activities are performed in accordance with proper arboriculture practices to insure the health and aesthetic value of the trees as well as all applicable regulations. 11 REMOVALS Definition: Removal of trees that have become a hazard to the ROW or that may have been overlooked in previous treatment cycles and allowed to encroach the ROW and the lines and conductors. In these cases, trees will be removed in such a way that they cannot strike wires, guy wires, structures, appurtenances, and adjacent properties. In most cases, these trees will be addressed using aerial lift equipment, but may require climbing where terrain dictates. Larger overhanging limbs may require rigging to safely control the fall of cut material. Trees that do not overhang or directly threaten the line may be “pieced down” by removing material from the top down in small sections that cannot strike the line or cause damage. In cases of severe encroachment on a larger scale, qualified and appropriate timber harvesting equipment and contractors may be employed to clear the ROW up to the edge of easement. Uses: • To keep trees from striking electric conductors, guy wires and structures. • Maintaining the edge definition of the ROW corridor. • To facilitate, expedite, and increases efficiency of the inspections of vegetation conditions during ROW patrols. Operational Practices: • All removal activities will be performed by qualified line clearance arborists. • Measures may include matting of wetland area, installation of silt fences and chipping and removal of all debris. • Care will be taken to accurately locate the bounds of activity, to minimize erosion and potential damage due to ruts, and to minimize impact to the environment. BENEFITS AND LIMITATIONS Eversource’s mechanical controls are the method of management where the use of herbicides may be prohibited or restricted in various sensitive areas. Sensitive areas include defined distances per regulation near drinking water supplies (both private and public), wetlands or water over wetlands, rivers, certified/potential vernal pools, and agricultural or inhabited areas (see Section nine). Certain Priority Habitats defined by Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, Natural Heritage Endangered Species Program (NHESP) call for the use of mowing instead of, or in conjunction with, herbicide applications to encourage or restrict the height of various host plants. 12 Mechanical treatment methods are also used in the following situations: on vegetation over 15 feet in mature height; in preparation for some herbicide treatments; in individual areas deemed as sensitive; around structures; on access roads; to clear easements; and in areas of thick impenetrable vegetation. In large areas of high-density stems where incompatible species have exceeded maximum herbicide treatment heights, a mechanical treatment may be more practical, followed in one or two growing seasons by an herbicide application to obtain effective control. This includes along the easement edges where trees are cleared or pruned to maintain the width of the ROW. Upon establishing the easement edge, the cleared area of the ROW is managed by the Wire Zone-Border Zone approach using the appropriate treatment methods. The electric utility easements are areas of a property that were defined for use by utility companies when the property was first put on a property map. Mechanical controls on their own are only a short-term solution to controlling vegetation on a ROW system. Mechanically cut vegetation often re-sprouts with multiples of stems from dormant buds on the root collar resulting in a stem density that is significantly greater than the original vegetation cut. An annual program that uses only mechanical treatment cycles increases dense areas of woody vegetation. This vegetation competes with and dominates the low growing vegetation Eversource wishes to encourage. When relying on mechanical control methods alone, dense areas of incompatible vegetation can become costly and dangerous to hand-cut with power saws and are best controlled by mowing. Large mowing equipment, although an excellent IVM tool, can have a negative impact on compatible plant communities whose establishment is crucial to developing successful cultural controls. Mowing can also create a potential seedbed for fast growing, pioneering incompatible species such as poplars, cherries, birches, and various invasive species. This can increase the frequency of the maintenance cycle and destroy the dominance of stable, diverse early successional plant communities. Similarly, sensitive areas, such as wetlands and residential areas can be adversely impacted when crossed by mechanical maintenance equipment. 13 6. CHEMICAL CONTROLS Chemical controls are herbicide applications which include foliar, basal, and cut stump surface treatments (CST), and plant growth regulator (PGR) applications. They are a vital year-round component of an IVM program geared to establishing and stabilizing early successional plant communities and promoting the development of cultural controls to maintain this goal. The following sections describes guideline and application methods. GENERAL GUIDELINES • Eversource requires an advance person or “prep-cutting” crew to patrol the ROW before the herbicide application operation. • Sensitive areas will be identified and appropriately measured and flagged, then verified and recorded when appropriate in cooperation with local water suppliers and conservation commissions. • Herbicides will NOT be applied during the following adverse weather conditions: When the wind velocity is such that there is a high propensity to drift off target and/or during measurable precipitation, and no person shall apply herbicides in such a manner that results in drift into any No-spray Area. During periods of heavy rainfall. Foliar applications of volatile herbicides when temperatures exceed 89 degrees Fahrenheit and low humidity. CST or Basal application when deep snow (i.e., 6” plus or ice frozen on stem or stump) prevents adequate coverage of incompatible species to facilitate acceptable control. Basal applications when the stems are excessively wet from moisture. • Herbicides are not applied: To vegetation standing in surface water. Within no spray areas per 333 CMR 11.00. FOLIAGE APPLICATIONS Definitions: The application of herbicides to fully developed leaves, stems, needles, or blades of a plant. Low Volume Foliar: Hand-operated pumps or motorized, backpack sprayers with herbicide 14 concentrations per the manufacturers’ label(s). The motorized backpack sprayer produces an air current that delivers the herbicide mixture from the portable spray tank to the targeted vegetation. The hand sprayer uses a column of water. In both cases, the amount of herbicide solution applied only dampens or lightly wets the targeted vegetation, instead of being applied to the point of run-off. This minimizes the amount of excess herbicide drip from incompatible species onto desirable ground cover. Low volume applications also eliminate the need to bring heavy equipment on the ROW for the transportation of significant quantities of herbicide solution. Modified Low Volume Foliar: Uniform, penetrating herbicide mixtures delivered to dense incompatible vegetation. This technique usually involves 200-to-500-gallon hydraulic sprayers mounted on a truck or tractor equipped with several hundred feet of hose and hand-held spray guns. The herbicide mixture can be directed to specific plants for spot treatments or broadcast for uniform coverage in dense thickets of nuisance plants such as poisonous or invasive plant species. Uses: • An effective control method in light and medium brush densities to kill target plant root systems. • Effective control of some invasive, nuisance and poisonous vegetation. • Allows for selectivity in targeting vegetation. General Guidelines: • Herbicides are mixed and applied per label instructions. • Low pressure foliar application equipment will be adjusted to apply a spray pattern that achieves effective control at the lowest application rate. • Application period usually extends from early June through the beginning of leaf drop in early fall. • Anti-drift agents are added to the mix or solution in all foliage applications to reduce the potential of herbicide drift beyond targeted vegetation—drift control agents reduce the break-up of sprays into fine droplets and offer increased selectivity, leaf tissue penetration, and herbicide deposition on targeted vegetation. • Foliar applications can be made, and are effective, in light mist conditions. • When foliar applications are stopped by rainfall, treatment will not resume until the rain ends and water no longer creates a shield to accept herbicide application. • No herbicide shall be applied when the wind velocity is such that there is a high propensity to drift off target and/or during measurable 15 precipitation, and no person shall apply herbicides in such a manner that results in drift into any No-spray Area. LOW-VOLUME STEM BASAL Definition: • The selective application of herbicides in an oil solution to the lower 12- 15 inches of the stem using a solid cone or flat fan nozzle. Uses: • Year-round application technique, except during deep snow conditions that cover the target area. • Typically employed during the non-foliage season when targeted stems are easier to identify without the interference of lush, tall grasses or ferns. Guidelines: • Utilizes hand-operated backpack sprayers. • Use a basal oil made for herbicide application to penetrate the bark. • Not an appropriate method to control high stem densities due to high herbicide rates per acre. • Extending the herbicide treatment period beyond the foliage season. • May be the appropriate choice for visually sensitive areas. CUT STUMP SURFACE TREATMENT (CST) Definition: The application of an herbicide mixture to the cut surface of a stump immediately following or during a cutting operation using an herbicide concentration, diluted in water or a non-freezing solution. Uses: • Year-round applications except during deep snow conditions that prevent cutting the stumps low enough. • Offers the opportunity to chemically treat incompatible vegetation where other methods are not possible. • Commonly used to prevent re-sprouts when hand cutting vegetation. Guidelines: • Application equipment includes low-volume, backpack, hand-pump sprayers; hand-held squirt bottles; paintbrushes, or sponge applicators. 16 • Only necessary to treat the outer edge of the cut surface (phloem and cambium tissue), regardless of the stump diameter. • Treatment made to cut stumps per label instructions. • Best to avoid using it during the season of bud swell to full leaf expansion. • Not practical in moderate to heavy stem densities. TREE GROWTH REGULATORS (TGR) Definition: Tree Growth Regulators (TGRs) are plant growth regulator chemicals that manage or reduce the potential growth rate of trees. Uses: • Useful especially along street distribution lines where repetitive trimming is necessary to maintain adequate tree-electric conductor clearances. • Can lengthen the time frame between trimming cycles and improve the aesthetics of street and yard trees that may otherwise require removal or severe pruning. Guidelines: • Applied as basal drench around the base of the tree. • Applied as a soil injection next to the buttress root zone. JUSTIFICATION AND RATIONALE FOR USE OF HERBICIDE Eversource is responsible to deliver energy products to its customers in a safe and efficient manner and to control vegetation on its ROW. To meet these obligations in an ecologically sound manner, as discussed above is best accomplished by stabilizing early successional ecological communities on ROW.6 Eversource needs to use all treatment methods available to encourage a landscape that is both accessible and sustainable. 6Belisle, Francis. “Wildlife Use of Riparian Vegetation Buffer Zones in High Voltage Powerline Rights-of- Way in the Quebec Boreal Forest.” 7th International Symposium on Environmental Concerns in Rights-of- Way Management, 1999; Confer, John L. “Management, Vegetative Structure and Shrubland Birds of Rights-of-Way,” 7th International Symposium on Environmental Concerns in Rights-of-Way Management, 1999; CVPS. “Central Vermont Public Service Corporations 2006 Strategy; T&D Forestry,”’ Rutland, VT, 2006; Niering, William A. “Roadside Use of Native Plants: Working with Succession, An Ecological Approach in Preserving Biodiversity.” Roadside Use of Native Plants: http://www.environment.fhwa.dot.gov/ecosystems/vegmgmt_rdsduse.asp. 17 In our IVM program, chemical controls are an important method to achieve long term vegetation control. Herbicides control the entire plant, including the root system. Eliminating the ability of the treated plants to return may allow compatible plants to take over the space resulting in a reduction of incompatible plants to work next cycle. This is achieved by scheduling herbicide applications to sustain acceptable vegetation control at minimal application rates, frequency, and results in a reduction of herbicide applied over time.7 This reduces environmental impacts and the amount of manpower and equipment required to manage the ROW. This is a cost savings over multiple cycles as well as reducing the potential of unintended equipment leaks or damages from equipment. The herbicide formulations are applied selectively and by low-volume methods that dry quickly on the plant surface, this reduces the potential for off-target exposure. Additionally, anti-drift adjuvants that can be adjusted to accommodate changes in wind velocity are included in all foliage applications to further limit the likelihood of unintentional exposure to non-target organisms. Applications are not made in situations when there is a reasonable expectation that herbicides will drift from the targeted vegetation, or during measurable precipitation. The pesticide program of the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) established a Sensitive Area Material List to help reduce the potential of any negative impact using herbicides in sensitive areas defined in 333 CMR 11.04. All the herbicides on this list have gone through extensive testing to be considered for registration by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Before being included on the Sensitive Area Materials List, they go under further scrutiny by MDAR and Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP). Eversource’s herbicide program has only used herbicides on the MDAR Sensitive Area Materials List: https://www.mass.gov/service-details/rights-of-way-sensitive-area-materials-list Selective herbicides applications used according to the label do not adversely affect wetland plant composition or function according to the study cited in the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture (DFA) Decision Concerning The Wetland Impact 7Utility Transmission Forestry Herbicide Use Summary Records; Nowak & Abrahamson. 18 Study Conducted Pursuant to 333 CMR 11.04(4)(c)(2)8 (Appendix 7). According to the 1989 study by Environmental Consultants, Inc. quoted in the Decision, mechanical vegetation control techniques result in significantly greater impact on wetland composition and function. Herbicide applications can be more selective than mechanical treatment methods. Selective herbicide applications encourage plant species diversity when used to target only incompatible vegetation. They offer selectivity and can be used to encourage certain types of plants; for example, broadleaf vegetation can be controlled with little or no impact to grasses. A continual cycle of selective herbicide applications as part of an IVM program, therefore, promotes low-growing plant communities while reducing the density of incompatible species and reduces the herbicide use rates over time.9 Selective herbicide applications can be much less destructive than mowing to nesting sites and the vegetation necessary for food and cover. Minor site disturbance is associated with selective herbicide applications. This is not to say that mowing is not a significant component in an IVM program. Both control methods need to be used in combination with hand cutting techniques to cover all situations. In fact, thoughtful, carefully planned, selective herbicide applications in combination with mechanical controls, where appropriate, promote wildlife habitat by encouraging plant species diversity.10 8 DFA is now MDAR. 9 John Gwozdz, Lewis Payne, Kendra Gorski, and Jim Kooser 2015. Herbicide Use Rates over Four Treatment Cycle: Proof the IVM tool is working Environmental Concerns in Rights-of-Way Management, 11th International Symposium, Halifax, Novia Scotia. 10A brief list of examples includes W.C. Bramble and W.R. Burns. “A long-term ecological study of game food and cover on a sprayed utility right-of-way.” Bulletin No. 918, Purdue University (1974):16; Yahner. “Wildlife Response to More than 50 years of Vegetation Maintenance on a Pennsylvania U.S., Right-of- Way”: 123; James S. Marshall and L.W. Vandruff. Impact of Selective Herbicide Right-of-Way Vegetation Treatment on Birds. Environmental Management 30(6) (December 2002): 801-806. 19 Herbicide application equipment that is well maintained incorporating the most up-to-date features and the requirement that licensed contractors apply herbicides per label instructions minimizes environmental site damage. Herbicides, particularly when applied selectively by low-volume methods, dry quickly on the plant surface, thereby significantly restricting the greatest potential for dermal exposure. The use of anti-drift adjuvants in all foliage applications that can be adjusted to accommodate changes in wind velocity further limit the likelihood of unintentional exposure to non-target organisms. The selection of the herbicides coupled with the appropriate treatment methods is made with consideration given to the environmental sensitivity of a ROW or site within a ROW. For example, most conifers which do not re-sprout like hardwoods, are generally not treated since herbicide is not necessary for control. The herbicides, applications and other treatment methods used on any given ROW are selected based on site sensitivity, species composition and density. Herbicides will not be used in certain areas if site sensitivity, regulations, new restrictions, or species composition or height require otherwise. Eversource chooses the most appropriate treatment methods to meet its goals, objectives, and obligations. The most responsible solution is to use all three components of IVM where appropriate. As discussed under Section 4, Integrated Vegetation Management, a consistent program of using herbicide is essential to effective management of the ROW and to reducing the quantity of herbicide use over time. Eversource began implementing an IVM system-wide program including mechanical and chemical methods in 2003. Under this program, herbicide was applied to target plants on a 4-year cycle at an average rate per acre of applied herbicide mixes at approximately 7 gallons per acre which may contain active herbicide of between 3% and 10% depending on the mix for the target plant species. For ROWs that had a program of a consistent 4-year cycle, incompatible woody stems were reduced, and a more diverse and desirable understory of low growing vegetation was established. By 2022, the average rate of applied herbicide to maintain these ROWs was reduced to 3-5 gallons per acre. 20 Herbicide application on the Cape & Vineyard ROWs was stopped in 2009 and only mechanical methods were used. Due to the cessation of chemical management, the initial rates of herbicide were expected and did revert to an application rate closer to the 7 gallons per acre due to the higher stem density of incompatible plants. Plants that were controlled by mechanical methods and that continue to have a viable root system re-sprouted with multiple shoots and have spread vegetatively When the herbicide treatment cycle is consistent, there is a reduction in the targeted (incompatible) plants and the need for both herbicide and mechanical treatment is reduced. Over time, with a 4-year cycle of consistent application, the amount of herbicide required to maintain ROW levels off to a minimum amount. The expectation for the Cape and Vineyard would be that, over time, with a consistent, uninterrupted cycle of herbicide treatment, incompatible plant populations will be reduced, and the per acre rate of application will be reduced. With less incompatible vegetation, mechanical controls can be concentrated on side pruning and removing trees at the easement/fee edges of the ROW. ` 7. DEFINITION, IDENTIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF SENSITIVE AREAS Per 333 CMR 11.02, sensitive areas are "any areas within rights-of-way...in which public health, environmental or agricultural concerns warrant special protection to further minimize risks of unreasonable adverse effects." They include, but are not limited to, the following: Water Supplies - Zone I’s - Zone II’s - IWPA’s (Interim Wellhead Protection Areas) - Class A Surface Water Sources - Tributaries to a Class A Surface Water Source - Class B Drinking Water Intakes - Private Wells 21 Surface Waters - Wetlands - Water Over Wetlands - The Mean Annual High -Water Line of a River - The Outer Boundary of a Riverfront Area - Certified Vernal Pools Cultural Sites - Agricultural Areas - Inhabited Areas Wildlife Areas - Certified Vernal Pool Habitat - Priority Habitat Sensitive areas consist of no-spray areas in which herbicide use is prohibited, limited spray areas, and areas that require sensitive area restrictions. Protecting these environmentally sensitive sites is accomplished by establishing limited spray and no- spray areas and treatment restrictions based on the sensitivity of each site and the requirement to minimize any unreasonable adverse impacts within that area (See Appendix 5). The herbicides included in the Herbicides Recommended for Use in Sensitive Areas List (Sensitive Area Materials List) will be applied in limited spray areas according to the application restrictions in 333 CMR 11.04 or in the case of Priority Habitat, approval of the Yearly Operation Plan (YOP) by the Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) of the Massachusetts Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. A current copy of the Sensitive Areas Materials List and MDAR approved active ingredient fact sheets are available at: https://www.mass.gov/service-details/rights-of-way-vegetation-management-vmps-yops- and-notices IDENTIFICATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS Sensitive areas can be divided into two additional categories that help identify and treat them: “readily identifiable in the field” and “not readily identifiable in the field.” Readily identifiable in the field areas will be identified, marked, and treated when appropriate, marked according to all applicable restrictions listed in 333 CMR 11.00. Not 22 readily identifiable in the field areas will likewise be marked and treated when appropriate, but they are identified in the field using data marked on maps and collected in the YOP and notification processes. • Sensitive areas usually identifiable in the field, include but are not limited to surface water, some private and public water supplies, wetlands, inhabited and agricultural areas. • Sensitive areas not usually identifiable in the field, including, but are not limited to designated public surface water supplies, public ground water supplies, some private drinking supplies, the first 400 feet of water supply tributaries, certified vernal pools, and Priority Habitat of State-listed Species identified by NHESP. As appropriate, therefore, sensitive areas will be identified and when necessary, marked in the field by Eversource staff, an experienced vegetation management treatment crew point person, individuals trained in the identification of sensitive areas that require the use of GIS (geographic information systems) and GPS equipment, and/or by a NHESP approved botanist trained in the delineation of state-listed species. Eversource and contractor personnel assigned the task of identifying sensitive areas in the field will use the following sources and methods: • Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) water supply maps /GIS mapping layers available through MassGIS. MassDEP does not regulate private wells. However, MassDEP maintains thousands of entries in the Well Driller Database (which includes private drinking water wells), adds wells, makes updates as needed and has been implementing the well location project which confirms and improves the locational accuracy of private wells. The well driller database is available to the public through Mass. EEA’s portal at https://www.mass.gov/service-details/well-database • MDAR records of identified private wells along the ROW. • Correspondence, meetings, and input from municipalities within the forty-five- day YOP and twenty-one-day municipal right-of-way notification letter (including Board of Health, Conservation Commission, Public Water Supplier and Select Board/Mayor/Town Administrator) review and comment periods and the 48-hour newspaper notification (under 333 CMR 11.06 & 11.07 and Chapter 85 of the Acts of 2000). • Correspondence, meetings, and input from Eversource's abutter and/or landowner notification procedure, as applicable. • Eversource’s maps, records, and institutional knowledge. • Any additional pertinent information that becomes available during the YOP 23 process and throughout the five years of this VMP. • A point person who verifies identified sensitive areas and any additional areas that may require special precautions. • United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographical maps. • Information from contractor’s knowledge and records. • Information from MassGIS. • Confidential information from NHESP. • A copy of the YOP and VMP. • Treatment crew(s) are required to have the following references on the job site to help identify sensitive areas: Topographical maps (electronic or paper) Copy of YOP Any additional information that may become available. Maps are a resource and a tool for both the public and the vegetation management crews, therefore, they contain the data needed to identify, mark, and treat sensitive areas appropriately. Maps included in the YOP are updated every year as new data becomes available. Some sensitive areas are contained on the base USGS topographic maps such as applicable Wetland Resource Areas (Rivers, Wetlands, etc.). The most current data available through MassGIS such as public water supplies, certified vernal pools, and any data that Eversource has collected to date on items such as private wells are then added on top of the USGS data. At the time of treatment, additional sensitive areas will be added to the maps utilized by Eversource’s vegetation management contractors. Please note that to enable any viewer to see the essential information on the maps, Zone II's and other limited spray areas are not mapped in areas where Eversource only uses herbicides on the MDAR Rights-of-Way Sensitive Area Materials List. The locations of the Priority Habitats of state listed species as regulated by the Natural Heritage Endangered Species Program (NHESP) of the Division of Fisheries & Wildlife are only included on field maps to contractors who sign a confidentiality agreement expressly for this purpose. A map layer of Priority Habitats is available to the general public at http://www.mass.gov/anf/research-and-tech/it-serv-and- support/application-serv/office- of-geographic-information-massgis but it is neither 24 specific to areas of concern for herbicide applications nor does it include data on the individual species since the exact location and details of their habitat is protected. CONTROL STRATEGIES FOR SENSITIVE AREAS Mandated sensitive areas will be treated following the restrictions in applicable state and federal regulations. Eversource also reserves the right to designate additional areas as areas that require special treatment considerations including, but not limited to, landowner agreements, visual or environmental impact considerations, and other considerations that arise during the treatment cycles. Treatments in all sensitive areas will follow the operational guidelines and restrictions listed above, as well as the guidelines described in the Sensitive Area Table in Appendix 5. Wetlands Pursuant to 333 CMR 11.04 (4) (c) (2), based upon the results of two ROW wetland impact studies (see appendix 5), the MDAR in consultation with the Department of Environmental Protection and the Rights-of-Way Advisory Panel, made a determination that herbicides, when used at various utilities including electric lines, under the guidance of an IVM program and other conditions as set forth in the determination, have less impact on wetlands than mechanical only techniques. Therefore, in accordance with the conditions of the determination, Eversource will selectively apply herbicides to wetland sites, except within ten feet of standing and flowing water and to conifers which will be cut (Appendix 5). Public and Private Water Supplies A Sole Source Aquifer (SSA) is an aquifer that has been designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as the sole or principal source of drinking water for an area. By definition, SSA is an aquifer that supplies at least 50% of the drinking water consumed in the area overlying the aquifer. As of August 2008, EPA Region 1, New England Office recognizes the Cape & Vineyard SSA as authorized by Section 1424(e) of the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-523, 42 U.S.C. 300 et. seq). Eversource is aware of the nature and value of local ground water resources and complies with regulations to protect the resource. 25 Appropriate sources and references will be consulted to determine the location of public and private water supplies. Eversource’s YOP maps will include all known public and private water supplies at the time of printing using the sources listed above, and the mapping information used by contract treatment crews will be updated as necessary during the treatment cycle. To aid in the public and private water supply identification process, under 333 CMR 11.01(3)11, Eversource requests that during the various federal, state, and voluntary notification processes and during the treatment cycle, that public and municipal agencies and private entities and individuals share information on new or unidentified public and private water supplies. Identified private drinking supplies within one hundred feet of a ROW are included in our permanent records and maps, and landowners are encouraged to post signs on the edge of the ROW to help identify private water supplies (the no- spray treatment area is fifty feet from a private well). A point person will patrol the ROW to verify sensitive areas and buffers are appropriately measured and when applicable flagged and recorded for permanent record. Massachusetts Endangered Species Act Eversource recognizes the importance of the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act, M.G.L.C. 131 A, and its significance to ROW vegetation management. Eversource will comply with all applicable portions of this Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Eversource will also follow the rules and prohibitions directed at human activities which “Take” or alter their Significant Habitat (as of this printing there are no designated Significant Habitat in Massachusetts on Eversource ROW or statewide). 11333 CMR 11.01(3): “[The Specific goals of 333 CMR 11.00 are to] Ensure ample opportunity for public and municipal agency input on potential impacts of herbicide application to rights-of-way in environmentally sensitive areas.” 26 321 CMR 10.14, Massachusetts Endangered Species Act Regulations, Part II Exemptions and 333 CMR 11.04(3) (a-c) exempts utility ROW vegetation management from the permit process under the following conditions: (12) The management of vegetation within existing utility rights-of-way provided that the management is carried out in accordance with a vegetation management plan approved in writing by the Division prior to the commencement of work for which a review fee shall be charged, the amount of which shall be determined by the commissioner of administration under the provisions of M.G.L. c.7, § 3B… [and for roadside distribution lines] (6) installation, repair, replacement, and maintenance of utility lines (gas, water, sewer, phone, electrical) for which all associated work is within ten feet from the edge of existing paved roads. To comply with exemption 10.14(12), Eversource will submit this VMP and YOPs to the NHESP for review. The NHESP has delineated areas as Priority Habitat based on the "Best Scientific Evidence Available" to protect State-listed species from a "take." Under the approval process, details about the Priority Habitat of state-listed species that might be affected by our activities and management recommendations are shared with Eversource under strict confidentiality agreements.12 Using this data and best management practices, Eversource and contract personnel will follow the appropriate vegetation management treatment methods within these sensitive areas taking all practical means and measures to modify ROW vegetation management procedures to avoid damage to state-listed species and their habitat. To identify Priority Habitats, Eversource personnel, NHESP approved review botanists and vegetation management crews must use proper identification procedures. Contractors are, therefore, required to train their personnel to recognize the location of Priority Habitats using one of the following tools: paper maps, GPS coordinates and/or GIS systems. ______________________ 12A map layer of Priority Habitat is available to the general public at http://www.mass.gov/anf/research- and-tech/it-serv-and-support/application-serv/office-of-geographic-information-massgis , but it is neither specific to the areas of concern for herbicide applications nor does it have detailed data on the species of concern; the exact location and details of their habitat is kept confidential for their protection. 27 8. OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR APPLICATORS RELATIVE TO HERBICIDE USE Eversource relies on independent vegetation management contractors and requires that they comply with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations. This VMP, the YOPs and information in the notification documentation are a part of the operational guidelines for applicators relative to herbicide use. Therefore, according to the regulations, at a minimum, the contractor’s application crews shall have a copy of the YOP accessible at the work site. In addition to the guidelines contained in other sections of the VMP, this section sets forth the general operational guidelines for vegetation management. Eversource will alter or add to these guidelines based on potential future changes or additions to state and federal regulations that apply to herbicide applications and all changes or additions must be approved by MDAR. EVERSOURCE PERSONNEL The following individual is responsible for monitoring, supervising, and coordinating vegetation management programs (Eversource may direct contractors to communicate with other Eversource personnel): William Hayes, Senior Supervisor Eversource Energy, Transmission Vegetation Management 247 Station Drive, SW-1036 Westwood, MA 02090-9230 781-441- 3932 (office) Eversource arborist(s) will inform the contractor which ROW will be treated, the range of treatment dates and any other specification required to complete the job. Eversource will provide ROW maps with treatment restriction lists and written instructions outlining any special treatment considerations or instructions. Contractors will notify the Eversource company representative(s) of any questions or complaints from the public and/or government agencies that relate to ROW vegetation management. Eversource will deal with these complaints or questions in a timely fashion. 28 CONTRACTOR SAFETY, CONTRACT AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE GUIDELINES • Contractors must provide qualified, personnel who have been trained to recognize and identify compatible and incompatible vegetation and are knowledgeable in the safe and proper use of both mechanical and chemical vegetation management techniques. • All personnel applying herbicides in Massachusetts must hold a pesticide applicator license and must work under the on-site supervision of a certified applicator, with a Category 40 certification. • Herbicides must be handled and applied only in accordance with label instructions. • Mixing will be done according to University of Massachusetts Extension Pesticide Mixing and Loading Best Management Practices (BMP). • Contractors must not start work without the appropriate maps, restriction lists, landowner notifications and mixing rate instructions. • Contractors must follow the latest revisions of all industry standards including, but not limited to all applicable safety standards under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) including 1910.269, Electric Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution; ANSI Z133 & ANSI 300 standards, and Eversource Safety Procedures. • All contract personnel must follow label instructions regarding Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). • Applicators must immediately cease operations if adverse conditions or other circumstances warrant. • Access to a ROW will be using established roadways whenever possible. • All gates shall be closed. • Care shall be exercised to prevent the rutting or destruction of roadways, fields, or any other form of access. • No litter of any kind will be left on the ROW or adjoining land.

II EALY Co m miss ioner PUBLIC UTILITY VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FINDING Background The Rights of Way Management (ROW) Regulations (333 CMR 11:00) promulgated in 1987 prohibit the use of herbicides to control vegetation along utility right of ways on or within ten (10) feet of a wetland unless the following conditions are met: 1. Submission of a study, the design of which is subject to prior review and approval of the Departments of Food and Agriculture and Environmental Protection, evaluating impacts of proposed vegetation management programs on wetlands; and 2. A finding by the Department, after consultation with the Advisory Committee, that the proposed vegetation management program will result in less impacts to the wetland than mechanical control. 3. Notwithstanding the above, no herbicides shall be applied on or within ten feet of any standing or flowing water in a wetland. On April 28, .1988, The Departments of Food and Agriculture and Environmental Protection approved the scope of the study. In the fall of 1989, Environmental Consultants, Inc. submitted to the Department of Food and Agriculture the study entitled, "Study of the Impacts of Vegetation Management Techniques on Wetlands for Utility Rights-of Way in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts", dated June 1989. The Department consulted with the Vegetation Management Plan (VMP) Advisory panel at their November 15, 1989, December 7, 1989 and August 1, 1991 meetings. 1 - 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 APPENDIX 8: CHAPTER 85, SECTION 10 HTTPS://MALEGISLATURE.GOV/LAWS/SESSIONLAWS/ACTS/2000/CHAPTER85 APPENDIX 9: REFERENCES 1 REFERENCES SENSITIVE MATERIALS LIST: A current list of the Sensitive Area Materials List and individual Fact Sheets on these herbicides are available at: http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/agr/pesticides/rights-of-way-vegetation-management.html SAFETY: ANSI.

EVERSOURCE ENERGY, EASTERN (Cape), MA 2023 YEARLY OPERATIONAL PLAN MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES INTEGRATED VEGETATION MANAGEMENT HERBICIDE PROGRAM Submitted by: Eversource Vegetation Management Submitted: MAY 24, 2023 i SUMMARY In compliance with the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources’ Rights-of-Way Regulations (333 CMR 11.00), this Yearly Operational Plan (YOP) informs municipalities of Eversource Energy, Eastern (Cape) MA’s intent to utilize an integrated vegetation management plan that includes the use of herbicides on electric rights-of-way (ROW) in 2023. Our Integrated Vegetation Management program is outlined in our five-year Vegetation Management Plan. This YOP identifies target vegetation; the affected rights-of-way and towns; the herbicides, rates and methods of application; alternative control methods; the individual responsible for supervising the OP, and the qualified contractors that will perform the application. It explains how sensitive areas; buffer zones and sites where herbicides are either restricted or not permitted are identified, appropriately marked, treated and protected. It addresses procedures for the mixing, handling and loading of herbicide concentrates. Finally, it includes Herbicide Fact Sheets and Labels, a list of emergency resources and telephone numbers, and maps marked with known Sensitive Areas. The YOP process provides for a forty-five-day public review and comment period, in conjunction with the twenty-one-day municipal rights-of-way notification period. These review periods give communities an opportunity to provide information that will help identify additional areas that may require specific precautions or protection. Finally, notice will be published in general circulation newspapers at least 48 hours before the scheduled application. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS SUMMARY i I. INTRODUCTION 1 II.

INTRODUCTION In compliance with Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ Rights-of-Way Vegetation Management Regulations (333 CMR 11.00) Eversource Energy, Eastern MA’s Yearly Operational Plan (YOP) details our vegetation management program for 2023. This YOP is consistent with the terms and procedures set forth in the Eversource Energy, Vegetation Management Plan’s (VMP’s) per 333 CMR 11.05; with the Massachusetts Pesticide Control Act (Chapter 132B); with all pertinent clauses in Chapter 85 of the Acts of 2000; with the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (MESA; MGL c. 131 A) and regulations (321 CMR 10.00), and with all Federal and State acts and regulations that apply to right-of-way vegetation management. Eversource delivers electricity to 1.3 million customers in 136 municipalities. Electricity is transmitted over hundreds of miles of distribution and transmission rights-of-way (ROW) throughout the western, eastern, southeastern, and cape and islands regions of Massachusetts. To ensure safe reliable electric service, Eversource must keep these ROWs free from hazards and encroachments. In this effort, the vegetation on the ROW corridors must be maintained at an early stage of plant succession (herbaceous plants and shrubs). Using the Integrated Vegetation Management Program (IVM) described in the VMP’s, Eversource’s program is based on a 4-year selective herbicide application and where appropriate mechanical treatment cycle. This program allows for the safe delivery of reliable electric service and supports a healthier more diverse habitat for wildlife that depends upon early successional landscapes (See VMP’s for further description of Eversource’s IVM program). The VMP’s can be viewed at: https://www.eversource.com/content/residential/about/reliability/vegetation- management/transmission-system-vegetation-management/transmission-vegetation-management-projects 2 II. CHAPTER 132B AND 333 CMR 11.00 The purpose of this chapter is to conform the laws of the commonwealth to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, Public Law 92-516, as amended, and the regulations promulgated there under and to establish a regulatory process in the commonwealth. The exclusive authority in regulating the labeling, distribution, sale, storage, transportation, use and application, and disposal of pesticides in the commonwealth shall be determined by this chapter. (MGL 132B, Section 1) Chapter 132b (Massachusetts Pesticide Control Act) was created to ensures a clear and uniform set of standards for the entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts in order to protect the public from the negative impacts that arise from fragmented, decentralized, sets of standards. In this effort, the Commonwealth, through the Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) retains the sole right to regulate the use of pesticides, including herbicides, throughout Massachusetts. MDAR takes this responsibility extremely seriously and the regulations promulgated under Chapter 132b are stricter than Federal standards. The purpose of 333 CMR 11.00 is to establish a statewide and uniform regulatory process which will minimize the uses of, and potential impacts from herbicides in right of way on human health and the environment while allowing for the benefits to public safety provided by the selective use of herbicides (333 CMR 11.01). 333 CMR 11.00 is the most comprehensive rights of way regulation in New England. It requires an Integrated Pest Management (in this case IVM) approach to right of way vegetation management; the establishment of standards and procedures to prevent unreasonable risks to humans or the environment, and a multi-layered system of public and municipal notification that requests input about environmentally and culturally sensitive areas. All of this is outlined in the Eversource VMPs, annual YOPs, The Environmental Monitor Notice, 21-day notification, Public Water Supplier notification and 48- hour newspaper notice which serve as guides for the public, state and municipal officials, vegetation management contractors and Eversource personnel. To ensure compliance with Chapter 132b and 333 CMR 11.00, MDAR performs routine inspections of rights-of-way treatment crews, retains chemists, and perform further tests before approving a limited list of herbicides approved for use in Sensitive Areas (pursuant to 333 CMR 11.04 (1)(d)). As detailed in the VMP’s and YOP, Eversource Energy, Eastern MA’s IVM program strictly adheres to all the requirements of Chapter 132b and 333 CMR 11.00. Eversource only retains herbicide application treatment contractors that hold Massachusetts’ certifications and licenses to apply pesticides, which require ongoing training to maintain. All Sensitive Areas (see section V) are treated appropriately using either mechanical treatment methods or Commonwealth of Massachusetts recommended herbicides for use in Sensitive Areas. In fact, Eversource only uses these recommended herbicides on the entire length and cleared width of its ROW corridors. Beyond the requirements of 333 CMR 11.00 and in compliance with Chapter 216 of the Acts of 2012, Eversource also notifies “abutters” (houses and businesses that abut the rights-of-way being treated in that year) within view of the ROWs before treatments begin. Treatment contractors are required to leave door hangers or talk personally with abutters which allow the contractor to answer site specific questions, identify private wells and help explain the program. 3 III. LOCATION OF INTENDED TREATMENTS In 2023 Eversource plans on completing vegetation maintenance on 1 transmission ROW as listed in Table I. Table II is a list of municipalities where a herbicide treatment will be applied as part of IVM. Table I. 2023 Rights-of-Way: Massachusetts East (EMA) Cape ROW Segment Name Electric Transmission Right of Way 180 EHV Canal (Bourne town line southeast) - Pilgrim Tap Table II: List of 2023 IVM (herbicide treatment) Municipalities: Eastern MA (EMA) Cape municipalities: Bourne 4 IV. IDENTIFICATION OF TARGET VEGETATION FOR HERBICIDE APPLICATIONS Pursuant to the policy and intent set forth in the Eversource VMPs, all vegetation must be removed that obscures the ROW corridors and grows tall enough to interfere with the safe, efficient and legal operation of an electrical power line. In the wire zone, trees and brush are targeted, and native, low growing plant communities that have a mature height less than three feet are established. In the border zone, incompatible trees and brush are targeted, and the growth of native trees and shrubs that have a mature height less than 15 feet is encouraged. The primary target is all trees’ species within the cleared width of the ROW; except in Priority Habitats that are under the purview of the Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program of the Department of Fish and Game (NHESP), which will be treated on a case by case basis. Examples of targets include, but are not limited to: Alder Cherry Pine Aspen Hemlock Maple Beech Hickory Oak Birch Locust Sassafras There are more non-target vegetation species on an electric or gas ROW than targets. In fact, ROWs are one of the primary early successional plant communities remaining in New England. As a result, many plant and animal species use ROWs as their homes, feeding grounds or nurseries. Certain plant species, therefore, are encouraged on the ROW through the use of an IVM program (excluding invasive plant species): • Most herbaceous growth is acceptable and encouraged • Shrubs that mature less than 15 feet in height are only targets where due to their location or attributes they interfere with the function of the ROW. Certain categories of non-tree species are targets under some circumstances, because of their location and/or their nature. Dense woody vegetation, shrubs and vines are targets where they are capable of interfering with the inspection and maintenance of the poles, wires, and along access roads, paths and gates which need to be kept clear, especially for emergencies. Eversource intends to control plant species including invasive, poisonous plants and vines at their facilities. Invasive plant species have become an increasing concern throughout Massachusetts in areas that include ROW corridors where they can spread rapidly and move into the adjacent landscape. Eversource plans to use herbicides to spot treat poisonous plants at sites under its ROWs identified as having an elevated risk of posing a health hazard. This vegetation, likewise, poses a risk to the safety and health of all individuals working on or traversing a ROW and it can impede a rapid response in an emergency. Examples of non-tree species considered targets, include, but are not limited to: Autumn Olive Japanese Knot-Weed Greenbriar Buckthorn Multiflora Rose Poison Ivy Buckthorn Oriental Bittersweet Hawthorne Staghorn Sumac Honeysuckle Poison Sumac 5 V. DEFINITION, IDENTIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF SENSITIVE AREAS Sensitive Areas are those areas within a ROW in which public health, environmental concerns or agricultural interests warrant special protection to minimize the risk of unreasonable adverse effects. The map(s) in Appendix I are a resource and a tool for both the public and the vegetation management crews. They contain the data necessary to identify, mark and treat Sensitive Areas appropriately. The map(s) include known Sensitive Areas available at the printing of this YOP. Some Sensitive Areas are included in the base USGS topographic maps. The most current data available through Mass GIS such as public water suppliers, certified vernal pools, etc. and any data that Eversource has collected to date on areas such as private wells are added on top of the USGS data. At the time of treatment, any additional Sensitive Areas collected will be added to the maps utilized by our vegetation management contractors. Please note that Zone II's and limited spray areas are not mapped since Eversource Energy, will only use herbicides approved for use within this type of Sensitive Area in their 2023 IVM program. There is one type of Sensitive Area not included on the maps that we are not authorized to publish: the locations of the Priority Habitats of state listed species as regulated by the Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) of the Division of Fisheries & Wildlife. A map layer of Priority Habitats is available to the general public at https://www.mass.gov/orgs/massgis-bureau-of- geographic-information , but it is neither specific to areas of concern for herbicide applications nor does it include data on the individual species since the exact location and details of their habitat is protected. Please be assured that we follow all necessary precautions to stay in compliance with 321 CMR 10.00 and this YOP was approved by NHESP. Prior to any herbicide application, Sensitive Areas will be identified and when necessary marked in the field by an experienced vegetation management treatment crew point person, by individuals trained in the identification of Sensitive Areas that require the use of GIS (geographic information systems) and GPS equipment, and/or by a NHESP approved botanist trained in the delineation of state-listed species. Two simple descriptions guide the complex identification of the Sensitive Areas listed in 333 CMR 11.02: Readily identifiable in the field and Not readily identifiable in the field: A. Readily identifiable in the field areas will be treated and marked according to all applicable restrictions listed in 333 CMR 11.00 and the Eversource Energy, 5-year VMP’s. B. Not readily identifiable in the field areas are identified by the use of the data marked on our maps and additional data collected in the YOP and notification processes before the time of treatment. Eversource and contractor personnel assigned the task of identifying Sensitive Areas in the field will use the following sources and methods: A. Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) water supply maps/GIS mapping layers available through Mass GIS B. Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) records of identified private wells along the ROW 6 C. Correspondence and input from municipalities within the consecutive forty-five day YOP and twenty-one day municipal ROW notification review and comment periods and the 48 hour newspaper notification D. Correspondence and input from Eversource’s abutter notification procedure E. A point person who precedes the treatment crew verifying identified Sensitive Areas and any additional areas that may require special precautions. The following section details some of the Sensitive Areas that require special attention, particularly those that are classified as either no spray or not readily identifiable in the field: A. Limited Spray Areas: Per 333 CMR 11.02, the following need to be identified in the field, require the use of herbicides on the MDAR Rights-of-Way Sensitive Area Materials List, and time restrictions between herbicide applications (see Appendix II, Sensitive Area Table). Please note that for 2023 IVM herbicide applications, Eversource is only using Sensitive Area approved herbicides on our entire ROW system: (a) any Zone II or IWPA (b) a distance of between 100 feet and 400 feet of any Class A Surface Water Source (c) a distance of between 10 and 200 feet of any tributary or associated surface water body where the tributary or associated surface water body runs outside the Zone A for the Class A surface water source (d) a lateral distance of between 100 and 200 feet for 400 feet upstream, on both sides of the river, of a Class B Drinking Water Intake (e) a distance of between 50 and 100 feet of any identified Private Well (f) a distance of between 10 and 100 feet of any Wetlands or Water Over Wetlands (g) a distance of between 10 feet from the mean annual high water line of any river and the outer boundary of the Riverfront Area (h) a distance of between ten feet from any Certified Vernal Pool and the outer boundary of any Certified Vernal Pool Habitat (i) a distance of 100 feet of any Agricultural or Inhabited Area. Please Note that “(f)” is modified by the MDAR (formerly Department of Food and Agriculture) Decision, dated October 12, 1995, concerning the wetland impact study conducted pursuant to 333 CMR 11.04(4)(c)(2). According to the Decision, Eversource may use herbicides within wetlands except on or within 10 feet of standing or flowing water (item “g” in the no-spray areas below was removed from the no spray list for utilities because it does not apply for the same reason). B. No-Spray Areas: Again, quoting from 333 CMR 11.02 the following no-spray areas need to be identified: No-Spray Area, any area that is both within a Right-of-Way and within: (a) any Zone I (b) 100 feet of any Class A Surface Water Source (c) 100 feet of any tributary or associated surface water body where the 7 tributary or associated surface water body runs within 400 feet of a Class A surface water source (d) 10 feet of any tributary or associated surface water body where the tributary or associated surface water body is at a distance greater than 400 feet from a Class A surface water source (e) a lateral distance of 100 feet for 400 feet upstream, on both sides of the river, of a Class B Drinking Water Intake (f) 50 feet of any identified Private Well [within 100 feet of the ROW] … (h) 10 feet of the mean annual high-water line of any river (i) 10 feet of any Certified Vernal Pool. C. Identification and Treatment of Private Drinking Water Supplies No herbicide treatments will take place within fifty feet of any identified private wells located within one hundred (100) feet of a ROW. Eversource updates its private well records based on available data. Municipalities should assist in the identification process and the MDAR will be consulted again prior to the treatment in an attempt to keep the private drinking water supply information up-to-date. Identified private drinking supplies within one hundred (100) feet of a ROW will be permanently recorded on appropriate maps. D. State-Listed Species Habitat Eversource recognizes the importance of the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act, M.G.L.C. 131 A, and its significance to ROW vegetation management. Eversource will comply with all applicable portions of this Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Eversource will also follow the rules and prohibitions directed at human activities which Take Species or alter their Significant Habitat (as of this printing there are no designated Significant Habitat in Massachusetts). 321 CMR 10.14, Massachusetts Endangered Species Act Regulations, Part II Exemptions and 333 CMR 11.04(3)(a-c) exempts utility ROW vegetation management from the permit process under the following conditions: (12) The management of vegetation within existing utility rights-of-way provided that the management is carried out in accordance with a vegetation management plan approved in writing by the Division prior to the commencement of work for which a review fee shall be charged, the amount of which shall be determined by the commissioner of administration under the provisions of M.G.L. c.7, § 3B… To comply with exemption 10.14(12), Eversource submits this YOP to the NHESP for review. The NHESP has delineated areas as Priority Habitat based on the "Best Scientific Evidence Available" to protect State-listed species from a "take." Under the approval process, details about the Priority Habitat of state-listed species that might be affected by our activities and management recommendations are shared with Eversource under strict confidentiality agreements. Using this data and best management practices, Eversource and contract personnel will follow the appropriate vegetation management treatment methods within these sensitive areas taking all 8 practical means and measures to modify ROW vegetation management procedures to avoid damage to state-listed species and their habitat. To identify Priority Habitats, Eversource personnel, NHESP approved review botanists and vegetation management crews must use proper identification procedures. Contractors are, therefore, required to train their personnel to recognize the location of Priority Habitats using one of the following tools: paper maps, GPS coordinates and/or GIS systems. VI. PROPOSED HERBICIDE TREATMENT METHODS Under Eversource’s IVM program, combined with mechanical "prep-cutting," mowing and side- trimming activities, herbicide applications will be applied on foot using selective low pressure foliage treatments with backpack sprayers and cut stump or basal treatments. Experienced, Massachusetts licensed applicators will perform the selective herbicide treatments under the direct on site supervision of a certified applicator as required by Chapter 132B. Eversource’s herbicide program is a selective program scheduled to sustain acceptable vegetation control at minimal application rates. Using backpack sprayers, small amounts of herbicide are applied directly to the leaves, stumps or bark of the target vegetation. The average per acre rate of herbicide mix for Eversource’s foliar program is under 5 gallons per acre and the actual amount of applied active ingredient is in the pints per acre range. Eversource also chooses herbicide formulations that are low in acute toxicity, do not bio- accumulate and, as applied, have a short half-life with low soil mobility (see VMP’s, Bibliography). Above and beyond the review by the Federal EPA, these herbicides are all carefully reviewed jointly by MDAR and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protect for use in “limited spray” sensitive areas (including Zone IIs). Eversource takes this one step further and only uses sensitive area approved herbicides on their entire right-of-way system. A. Methods: Eversource and contract personnel will utilize the most appropriate technique for the vegetation species, height, density, site and mandated restrictions. These methods as described in detail in the Eversource 5-year VMP’s are briefly reviewed below: Low Volume Foliage Techniques utilize hand-operated pumps or motorized, backpack sprayers. The motorized, backpack sprayer produces an air current that delivers small amounts of herbicide mixture from a portable spray tank to the target vegetation. The low-pressure hand-pump sprayer uses a column of water. In both cases, the amount of herbicide solution applied only dampens or lightly wets the target vegetation. Low-Volume Stem Basal: the selective application of herbicides to the lower 6"-8" of the plant stem. The herbicide concentration is applied with low-pressure, backpack sprayers with special wand attachments and positive shut-off nozzle tips with small orifices. Cut Stump Surface Treatment (CST): the application of an herbicide mixture to the cut surface of a stump immediately following or during a cutting operation. Application equipment includes low-volume, backpack, hand-pump sprayers; hand held squirt bottles; paintbrushes, or sponge applicators. 9 B. Guidelines: 1. All Sensitive Area restrictions will be followed. 2. Foliar and Basal treatments are used within the cleared width of the ROW for tree and shrub target species below 12 feet in height. 3. CST treatments are used in conjunction with hand-cutting and in situations including but not limited to: trees and shrubs that cannot be foliar treated, at road buffers, and around structures such as poles and gates. 4. Only mechanical treatment methods will be used in no spray Sensitive Areas, including but not limited to hand cutting, trimming and mowing. C. Treatment of Wetlands Herbicide applications in wetlands will be performed in accordance with 333 CMR 11.04 (4)(c)(2) relative to ROW management. Targets will be selectively treated with herbicides on the MDAR’s Sensitive Area Material List and will not be applied within ten (10) feet of standing or flowing water. D. Treatment of State-Listed Priority Habitats All vegetation management activities will be completed in compliance with the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (MESA; MGL c. 131 A) and its regulations, 321 CMR 10.00. 10 VII. PROPOSED HERBICIDES, CARRIERS, ADJUVANTS AND RATES In 2023 only the Commonwealth of Massachusetts recommended herbicides listed below for use in Sensitive Areas—pursuant to 333 CMR 11.04 (1)(d)—will be used on the entire length and cleared width of Eversource Energy ROW corridors, in compliance with all labeled directions.

Please find attached the most recent CDBG quarterly report. Both programs are moving forward well, we’re very happy with their progress. Also, I realized it’s not in the report but of the 27 children currently funded through the childcare program, 12 are from Brewster. As always, feel free to reach out with any questions. Have a great day, Cassie Cassie Boyd Marsh 9 Hillside Road Scituate, MA 02066 508-430-4499 x1 she/her/hers FY 21 Brewster Regional CDBG Grant Quarterly Report for the period ending 6/30/23 Grant Administration The administration of the Brewster CDBG grant is progressing well. During this quarter the grant administrator held three trainings with the sub-grantee, completed a single case waiver, and provided guidance on applicant and construction issues. There are no concerns at this time. The program is on schedule, and we anticipate a timely completion of this grant. Housing Rehab Program We have 15 projects in the pipeline: 14 under contract of which: 8 are completed and closed out, 5 in construction phases: 3 in active construction nearing completion; 1 septic project which experienced multiple delays from town water hookup to homeowner family health crisis and the GC dropping out due to his own family issues. We are now in the “rescue” phase with the final work to be completed by a new GC; 1 SCW approved, and materials ordered. A Brewster project is pending their second meeting with Brewster Historic Committee; and 1 pending the septic design with a construction WWU ready to go once there is a handle on the septic expenses. Twelve households are elderly (8 single females and 4 couples) and 3 are families, two with children under 6. Lead and septic are the big money items this grant cycle. Three projects have significant lead hazards that must be addressed: one being a young family with two children under two years old living in an antique home circa 1740. The other 2 lead projects were approved for Single Case Waivers. We have a list of approx. 10 full applications to approve if FY22/23 funding is awarded. Operations We are exploring a new collaboration with Cape Light Compact. They have a program that is not getting much traction – funds to cover replacement windows; windows much be single paned with no storms and will need to be replaced with triple paned energy efficient windows. This potential collaboration could be a huge help in covering windows costs for our homeowners but there are a several kinks to iron out before we can assess the true benefit and possibility. We had 3 new GCs join in on walk throughs, another is working on getting his own GC license after working as a sub for several years; 2 others are working on their moderate risk deleading license. We are fortunate that our two mainstay GCs that have been in the program for 10-15 years are carrying the yeoman’s work; one has two crews and the other is primarily a one man show. We are giving leeway with deadlines to accommodate the number of projects per GC and working to support the effort by approving “materials only” payments for windows given the lead time and the GC capital tied up in the wait. One of the many hats staff has had to wear lately is “Project Manager” to help them bring the projects across the finish line. We are increasingly doing the work normally accomplished by the GC’s so that we keep projects moving. We are working diligently to get all projects under contract by the end of August and have decided to put a hold on septic work until the FY22/23 grant, if funded. Designs are a minimum of 3-4 months and installs are between 1-2 months if there are no issues. Marketing in the Community Towns continue to do an excellent job of updating their sites and sharing information. Word of mouth is by far the most effective and widespread. The COAs are featuring a blurb about the Housing Rehab Program in each newsletter. FY21 Program ~ Labor Shortages & Inflation. High cost of everything on Cape Cod and a labor shortage due to the lack of affordable housing for workers still haunt the construction world. Everything is taking longer to schedule, i.e., permitting, septic designs & installations, plumbers, electricians, and our high risk deleader is coming from off Cape and we are using him more and more due to the increased presence of lead in these projects. Prices are coming in very high, so we are working diligently to enlist other collaborators to leverage funds. So far we have 7 households that have been referred to Cape Light Compact for heat pumps due to their failed or non-existent heating situations. Lead paint hazards and septic systems are prevalent in this grant cycle and almost every project is hitting their funding capacity and some exceeding.

An elderly couple, newly retired, finds its not all gardening and fishing. An elderly couple bought their tiny cottage on the pond 25 years ago in hopes of a peaceful retirement; fishing and gardening. Juggling the high costs of repairs, living on social security while trying to manage an elderly parent’s care from afar proved to be a larger and more costly task than anticipated. The good news ~ it’s a tiny cottage, with no lead…. which turns out to be a VERY good thing. Ø Replace roof, siding (Cedar Impressions-PVC white cedar look-a-like cheaper than the real thing and more sustainable!), windows and doors. Ø Replace soggy countertop. Ø Leverage funds from Cape Light Compact provided new heat pumps that cover heat AND AC. Before ~ Tiny cottage needs the basics ~ roof, siding, windows & doors The basics come in at $37,116.20 ~ good news! With plenty left for suprises under the roof and siding…where the usual trouble lies… During ~ The job progresses nicely, on schedule, no issues. After ~ The FINAL! New roof, new siding, door and windows! ALMOST… THE LAST STEP... Kitchen counter and faucet …. SURPRISE! This is exactly why there are single case waivers~$11,380 change order Severe health & structural problems averted!! FY21 Brewster Childcare Subsidy Program The FY21 Brewster Regional Childcare Subsidy Program continues to make steady progress, with new applications arriving & approved families utilizing their funds. Now fully into summer, we’ve seen many families in need of childcare during the busy tourist season. We’ve approved new applications and additional children from previously approved families, which will help their parents sustain employment over the summer. To date we have received 24 family applications and approved 17. This program is serving a total of 27 children and has encumbered just approximately three-quarters of the available funds so far. We’re looking forward to continuing our progress over the remaining 2 quarters of this grant year.

As a Brewster resident I personally feel that is unreasonable that residents are expected to pay for water while the town is simultaneously providing free water to whoever chooses to take advantage of it. While I understand the environmental implications of bottled water I truly believe that this program will have little to no effect on the consumption of bottled water. The receptacle at which this water is being supplied bears no difference from your average tap water. This is going to be a deterrent to bottled water drinkers because they choose to consume bottled water for its purity. It is unlikely without a costly filtration system and consistent water quality tests that these people will cease their bottled water consumption. As for providing clean drinking water for those who cannot afford it, it is unclear why we that responsibility falls on tax payers. There are countless resources in our immediate area that provide resources such as this without placing further burdens on tax payers. Thank you in advance for allowing me to voice my concerns. Very Respectfully, Mark Bojczyk July 19, 2023 Peter Lombardi Town Administrator Town of Brewster 2198 Main Street Brewster, MA 02631 Dear Mr. Lombardi: We are writing regarding the impacts of the crumbling Cape Cod bridges on your community, businesses, and residents, and the economic and quality of life benefits that replacing those bridges would have on your community. The Bourne and the Sagamore Bridges, which are owned by the federal government, were built in 1933, and fundamentally “changed the relationship between the Cape and the rest of Massachusetts.”1 The bridges are the sole access point for the more than 35 million vehicles that cross the canal each year, and serve as the gateway to Cape Cod for more than 260,000 Cape and Islands residents and roughly 5 million visitors annually.2 They are vital assets for the Cape Cod economy and surrounding communities,3 and also serve as essential routes for general transportation, tourism, and evacuations in case of an emergency. However, the current bridges are nearly 90 years old, functionally obsolete, and require increasingly costly and disruptive maintenance.4 The bridges’ structural deficiencies present an ongoing risk to the accessibility and economic stability of the Cape Cod region. 1 Massachusetts Department of Transportation, “History of the canal and bridges,” https://www.mass.gov/info- details/history-of-the-canal-and-bridges. 2 Cape Cod Times, “Sagamore, Bourne bridges have brought prosperity, loyalty and now worries to Cape Cod,” Asad Jung, May 27, 2022, https://www.capecodtimes.com/story/news/2022/05/27/cape-cod-canal-bridges-brought- prosperity-loyalty-worries/9688301002/; WGBH, “Federal funding for Cape Cod bridges project denied a second time,” Bob Seay, January 5, 2023, https://www.wgbh.org/news/local-news/2023/01/05/federal-funding-for-cape-cod- bridges-project-denied-a-second-time. 3 Cape Cod Times, “Sagamore, Bourne bridges have brought prosperity, loyalty and now worries to Cape Cod,” Asad Jung, May 27, 2022, https://www.capecodtimes.com/story/news/2022/05/27/cape-cod-canal-bridges-brought- prosperity-loyalty-worries/9688301002/; WGBH, “Federal funding for Cape Cod bridges project denied a second time,” Bob Seay, January 5, 2023, https://www.wgbh.org/news/local-news/2023/01/05/federal-funding-for-cape-cod- bridges-project-denied-a-second-time. 4 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, “Cape Cod Canal Highway Bridges Bourne, Massachusetts, Major Rehabilitation Evaluation Report,” November 9, 2018, https://www.nae.usace.army.mil/Portals/74/docs/Topics/Cape%20Cod%20Canal%20Bridges/Reports/MRERAppendi xF.pdf; WGBH, “Federal funding for Cape Cod bridges project denied a second time,” Bob Seay, January 5, 2023, https://www.wgbh.org/news/local-news/2023/01/05/federal-funding-for-cape-cod-bridges-project-denied-a-second- time. 2 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), and other stakeholders are working to replace both the Bourne and Sagamore Bridges and the highway approaches to the bridges.5 The project will ultimately result in new bridges that vastly improve travel conditions, meet modern safety standards for vehicle and pedestrian traffic, and provide significantly improved multimodal travel. I have been advocating for federal funding for this project since taking office in 2013, and have worked to bring federal agencies to the table to ensure collaboration. The urgency of replacing the Cape Cod bridges was one of the reasons I supported the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law). This legislation provided USACE with $17.1 billion in new funding – including $11.6 billion for new construction – and more than $9 billion in formula funds for Massachusetts.6 In the 14 months since the bill was signed into law by President Biden, we have advocated with the White House, the federal Department of Transportation (USDOT), and other federal agencies to ensure the Cape Cod bridges project is a priority. Largely due to our efforts, the Biden administration in December 2022 awarded Massachusetts a $1.6 million planning grant for the bridges project, signaling their strong commitment to this critical infrastructure need.7 The Biden Administration also included a $350 million down payment toward a $600 million allocation in the President’s FY2024 budget for the Army Corps.8 We are working hard to ensure we secure the rest of the funding necessary to replace these bridges. 5 Massachusetts Department of Transportation, “Memorandum of Understanding Reached Between MassDOT and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Regarding Bourne and Sagamore Bridges,” July 7, 2020, https://www.mass.gov/news/memorandum-of-understanding-reached-between-massdot-and-the-us-army-corps-of- engineers-regarding-bourne-and-sagamore-bridges. 6 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, “Additional Army Civil Works Studies, Projects and Programs to Be Accomplished with Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Funding,” March 30, 2022, https://www.usace.army.mil/Media/News/NewsSearch/Article/2982769/additional -army-civil-works-studies-projects- and-programs-to-be-accomplished-wi/; Boston Globe, “Massachusetts is poised to receive $9 billion from Biden’s infrastructure bill.

The “economic vitality of Cape Cod and the quality of life for people who live, work, and visit these communities is dependent on these bridges.”10 Local leaders have continually highlighted the impact of current bridge repair closures, and future impacts if the bridges are not replaced. Deputy Director of the Cape Cod Commission Steven Tupper warned that “residents, visitors and local officials can count on more intensive traffic impacts if the replacement project doesn't come to pass…[and that] continued maintenance of the existing bridges would lead to intense cycles of ongoing repair work, some on the order of three to five years in length.”11 Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce CEO Paul Niedzwiecki said that the bridges “affect every single part of the Cape’s economy,”12 and that “the Bourne and Sagamore bridges provide the economic link between Cape Cod and [the] rest of the Commonwealth.… [T]he reliability of the bridges directly impacts the long-term viability of [the] region’s economy and the ability of local businesses to survive and thrive.”13 As Mr. Niedzwiecki put it, “our economic livelihood is sort of connected to those two automotive bridges.”14 The Cape Cod Bridges replacement is key to modernizing Massachusetts’ physical infrastructure to meet the economic, social, and environmental challenges of the 21st century. As local stakeholders who live, work in, and lead communities surrounding these bridges, we seek your input as we press the federal government to live up to its commitments to replace the assets they own. In order to better understand the impacts of the current state of the bridges – and the benefits of replacing them – for your communities, we ask that you provide answers to the following questions no later than August 2, 2023: 1. What impact has the state of disrepair of the bridges had on your community to date, including the impact of previous closures of the bridges? a. What are the economic impacts to tourism, local workers, businesses, families, and community members? 9 Cape Cod Times, “Sagamore, Bourne bridges have brought prosperity, loyalty and now worries to Cape Cod,” Asad Jung, May 27, 2022, https://www.capecodtimes.com/story/news/2022/05/27/cape-cod-canal-bridges-brought- prosperity-loyalty-worries/9688301002/. 10 The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, “About the Cape Cod Bridges Program,” https://www.mass.gov/info- details/about-the-cape-cod-bridges-program. 11 The Cape Cod Chronicle, “Too Soon To Plan For Bridge Replacements, Lower Cape Officials Say,” Ryan Bray, March 1, 2023, https://capecodchronicle.com/en/5809/orleans/10014/Too -Soon-To-Plan-For-Bridge-Replacements- Lower-Cape-Officials-Say-Bridges-Roads-highways-and-transportation-cape-cod-commission-Massachusetts- Department-of-Transportation-transportation.htm. 12 Cape Cod Times, “Sagamore, Bourne bridges have brought prosperity, loyalty and now worries to Cape Cod,” Asad Jung, May 27, 2022, https://www.capecodtimes.com/story/news/2022/05/27/cape -cod-canal-bridges-brought- prosperity-loyalty-worries/9688301002/. 13 Cape Cod Commission, “Regional Organizations Form Canal Bridges Task Force,” December 6, 2022, https://capecodcommission.org/about-us/newsroom/regional-organizations-form-canal-bridges-task-force/. 14 The Cape Cod Chronicle, “Too Soon To Plan For Bridge Replacements, Lower Cape Officials Say,” Ryan Bray, March 1, 2023, https://capecodchronicle.com/en/5809/orleans/10014/Too -Soon-To-Plan-For-Bridge-Replacements- Lower-Cape-Officials-Say-Bridges-Roads-highways-and-transportation-cape-cod-commission-Massachusetts- Department-of-Transportation-transportation.htm. 4 b. What have the impacts been to the community at large, such as supply chains and the availability and accessibility of retail goods and other items that come across the bridges?
