O'Reilly, P.E., P.L.S. J.M. O'Reilly & Associates, Inc RE: Town of Brewster Betterment Program - Road Reconstruction Vespers Pond Road Neighborhood Brewster, Ma Dear Commission Members: As part of the Town of Brewster "Private Road Betterment Program", the Town of Brewster is requesting approval to reconstruct the various private roads known as the Vespers Pond Neighborhood, as referenced above and as shown on the attached Site Plan. Wetland Resources: The project involves working within the 100 -foot Buffer Zone to several vegetated wetlands. Many of the wetlands are bordering on Vespers and Lees Pond. The remaining wetlands are isolated areas and are still subject to protection under the local wetland bylaw regulations. As part of the design process, J.M. O'Reilly & Associates (JMO) initially flagged the wetland boundaries associated with the proposed improvements. As part of the plan preparation, the previously approved wetlands, associated with 0 Main Street (Eastward Homes, WPA Form 4B - SE9-1946) were incorporated into the design plans. After reviewing the preliminary site plans and JMO wetland flagging with the Conservation Agent, J. M. O'Reilly & Associates engaged Paul Shea, of Independent Environmental Consultant (IEC) to review our wetland flagging and to extend the wetland flagging to verify the jurisdiction of the Commission. The initial wetland flagging by JMO was confirmed and the extended wetlands were set by IEC on 7-19-23 and 8-5-2023. The enclosed site plans show the wetland resources and associated Buffer Zones, as flagged by JMO & IEC. Please also refer to the enclosed plans for the locations of the resources and buffer zones along with the IEC report, dated 8-5-2023. 1573 MAIN STREET, P.O. Box 1773, BREWSTER, MA 02631 • PHONE: (5o8) 896-6601 • FAx: (508) 896-6602 WWW.JMOREILLYASSOC.COM Project Narrative: The Applicant has submitted the attached Request for Determination of Applicability for the proposed road improvement work. Although the project involves working in close proximity to the wetland resources and within the 50 -foot Buffer Zone, the RDA is being submitted given that all the alterations are proposed within the existing paved roadway surfaces and road shoulders. The reconstruction includes the pulverization of the existing asphalt to supplement the road base material, installing new asphalt to a total width of 20 feet, including 12 -inch berms, installation of drainage facilities to resolve the road flooding at low points and the installation of small drainage swales for runoff control. The project results in a reduction of overall pavement of about 8,880 sf (or 6.4%) of pavement surface throughout the entire road system of the project. The improvements also include pavement reduction within the 100 -foot Buffer Zones of the project. The reduction of pavement in the three larger areas is being offset by the introduction of small, vegetated bio-swales. There are three areas of road improvements which are within the 50 foot Buffer Zone; 1.) The entrance to Vesper Pond Road; 2.) the end of Mayflower Circle; and 3.) the end of Vespers Pond Road. 1.) The initial portion of Vespers Pond Road: a. The portion of roadway, prior to Mayflower Circle is proposed to be shifted 2 feet to the east. b. The shift allows for the removal of three direct discharges to a vegetated wetland, west of the roadway. c. The shift allows for the installation of a narrow, 3 -foot wide, vegetated bio-swale. The swale is graded to catch 405 cf of stormwater runoff which equates to 90% of the first flush (450 cf) of the repositioned portion of Vespers Pond. 2.) Cul-de-sac Mayflower Circle: a. A portion of the paved cul-de-sac is being removed to provide a narrow, 6 - foot wide, vegetated bio-swale. b. The proposed cul-de-sac will be graded to pitch stormwater toward the swale. c. The paved areas are being reduced so as to help reduce the stormwater discharge to the wetlands and ponds. d. 3.) End of Vespers Pond Drive: a. A portion of the paved cul-de-sac is being removed to provide a narrow, 6 - foot wide, vegetated bio-swale. b. The proposed cul-de-sac will be graded to pitch stormwater toward the swale. c. The paved areas are being reduced to help reduce the stormwater discharge to the wetlands and ponds. The attached HydroCAD calculation shows the Peak Discharge rates for the pre and post construction. The minor reductions on the paved areas, within the Buffer Zones, result in a minor reduction of the stormwater runoff volumes. As required by the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook, we are complying with the requirements of the regulations for redevelopment with the reduction of paved surfaces and the minor improvements to the discharge points within the three larger areas, as outlined on the project Plans. The project requires a variance from the Brewster Wetland Regulations, due to the proposed work being within 50 of the surrounding wetlands. There are no alternatives to the project, other than letting the roads fall into further disrepair. The mitigation the project offers is the minor reduction of paved areas and the installation of small, vegetated bio-retention basins to address some of the road run-off. Currently there is no treatment of the run-off, which directly discharges into the wetlands. The swales will provide a moderate first flush retention of the run-off. All disturbed areas will be raked smooth, covered with loam and seeded with a drought tolerant grass seed mix. Please refer to the Site Plan for additional information. We look forward to meeting with the Commission at the public hearing scheduled for September 12, 2023. In the mean time if you have any questions please feel free to contact me directly. Thank you.

O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. 1573 Main Street Brewster, MA 02631 Re: Vesper's Pond Drive Betterment Project, Brewster, MA John, This letter concerns the above mentioned Town of Brewster betterment project located at Vesper's Pond Drive area in Brewster. MA. On 7-19-23, I met with William Grafton, Brewster Conservation Commission Administrator, to review the existing blue wetland flags set by J.M. O'Reilly Associates Inc.; and to also add additional new wetland delineation flags (IEC flags - pink wetland flags with description - Wetland Delineation) in the field, within the project area. The new pink wetland flags set in the field located within the project area (Betterment Project area) include the following pink flags (wetland delineation) . 1. Vesper's Pond Drive (east side) — continuation of past IEC flagging of isolated wetland for William Marsh, wetland flag Al, from there added 3 new pink wetland flags AA1 to AA3 (toe of slope). 2. Mayflower Circle towards Vesper's Pond Drive — from the end of Mayflower Circle (south side) - behind the houses, and the west side of Vespers Pond Drive, added new pink wetland flags including BB1, and CC1 to CC7, located within low lying topographic areas. 3. Deer Path Circle (south side) — behind the existing houses, added new pink wetland flags El to E5, BVW and freshwater pond. 4. Vesper's Pond Drive (west side) to Mayflower Circle (north side) — add new pink wetland flags D1 — D11. Flag D2 is located at a concrete headwall, narrow stream flow area. 5. Flags EE1 to EE11 are located at the toe of slope area located within low lying areas, behind the existing houses, near Cranberry Lane. 6. These new pink wetland flags need to be field located, and then added to the proposed site plan, along with a 50' buffer zone, and a 100' buffer zone, extending upgradient towards the asphalt roadways. The following notes should be added to the proposed site plans for this Town Betterment Project, per the Brewster Conservation Commission Administrator. 1. Within the area of Deer Path Circle, only proposed roadway alterations that are associated with this subject Town Betterment Project, will be considered for possible work within the 100' buffer zone of wetland flags D1— D5, within the Deer Path Circle area. 2. Within the area of Cranberry Lane, there is an existing, man-made, vegetated stormwater detention area, which is Not classified as a jurisdictional wetland resource area, within this subject area of the proposed Betterment Project. 3. The existing stormwater collection areas located within this existing subdivision — Vesper's Pond Drive area, the Betterment Project area, should be maintained as man-made stormwater drainage collection features. These existing stormwater drainage areas are not classified as regulated wetland resource areas, and do not have wetland buffer zones.

Thank you for keeping this moving along. We will wait to go out to bid unfil after they have gone to Cons Com. This would be my normal procedure. Donna Donna J.

For further details, please visit our website at www.brewster-ma.gov. 1 William Grafton From:William Grafton Sent:Thursday, June 8, 2023 11:38 AM To:Donna Kalinick Cc:Conor Kenny; Chris Miller Subject:Vesper Pond Drive-Road Better Additional Information Request Attachments:2022 02 21 Vesper Pond Drive Betterment_Aguiar comments for Staff Review.pdf; 2023 06 02 Vesper Pond Drive Better_PLAN SET FOR BIDDING - 4 SHEETS.pdf; WPA 4B - Marsh, 0 Main Street SE9-1946.pdf Donna, good day. As discussed, the road betterment project is not a candidate for the exemption under Ch. 172-3(A) as it is not a public road. Therefore, Commission review and submittal of a conservation permit is required for portions of the proposed project. This is consistent with Conservation Administrator Aguiar’s comments in July 2022 (see attached email). Based on the potential adverse effects to resource areas and stormwater components, a Notice of Intent is required. I understand that there is a timing element to this and suggest that the submittal to the Conservation Commission meet the deadline for the July 11, 2023 Brewster Conservation Commission Public Meeting. See this link for Commission meeting dates and deadlines https://www.brewster- ma.gov/sites/g/files/vyhlif6286/f/uploads/2023_conservation_commission_meeting_dates_revised_12-27-2022_0.pdf 1.Wetalands/In looking at the submitted dated 6/02/2023, it appears that nearly 50% of the project is beyond any conservation jurisdictional boundaries and the remaining 50% can be further reduced with additional confirmation by me. The primary wetlands that require further detail are depicted on Sheets 1 and 3 (see attached). Some of this can be easily resolved by adoption of the wetland delineation that J.M. O’Reilly Associates Inc. depicted for a recent ANRAD (Abbreviated Notice of Resource Areas delineation) which was approved in February 2023 (see attached WPA Form 4B/Order of Resource Area Delineation). The approved site plan under SE9-1946 is title Site Plan Showing Wetland Areas prepared by J.M. O’Reilly & Associaties, Inc. revised 2/23/2023. To the best of my knowledge, there has been no appeal nor compliant submitted for further review. The wetland delineations therefore are valid for a three year period and would help resolve some of the additional wetland delineation detail that I am suggestion. Other portions of the property require a site visit on my part to verify wetland delineations. Similar to the Long Pond Project, the wetland should be delineated with wetlands flags marked with alpha-numeric designations that should also be depicted on the site plan. I can work with the consultant to address any deficiencies to revise the wetland delineation. 2.Stormwater under the WPA and Brewster Wetland Bylaw, this is a component of a Notice of Intent that is required. There is an exemption for Emergency Road Repair but this does not seem to fit the criteria so the stormwater standards under the wetlands requirements are relevant. In reviewing the existing “scuppers”/spill ways along the former cranberry bog reverted to a bordering vegetated wetland after the cessation of the agricultural activities, Chris, Griffin and I believe some form of treatment is necessary. Typically, the MassDEP does not consider direct discharge into wetlands as approvable. Therefore, some alternative such as a Stormceptor/Defender Unit, rip rap with vegetated buffer or other stormwater best management practice is required. 3.Storwmwater under Ch. 272, I have spoke with Jon Idman, Griffin Ryder and Chris Miller, we generally do not anticipate any need for Ch. 272 but the consultant should detail that there is no net increase between the existing and proposed conditions as per the relevant Ch. 272 citing.

Based on the complete wetland delineation, it appears that the IVW is about 40 feet closer to the BB Gun Shooting Hut. I would still suggest forging forward with the RDA. The scope of work is an improvement but the buffer zone may reach into the .22 caliber ranger and questions may come up about the potential of lead and other metal contamination. I would suggest that you provide information to address this as part of your RDA submittal. Below is the write up from LEC on the Isolated Vegetated Wetlands. 2 Respectfully, Bill Grafton Brewster Conservation Administrator 1657 Main Street Brewster, MA 02631 Phone (508) 896-4546 ext. 4242 Brewster Town Offices are open to the public Monday through Thursday from 8:30 to 4:00pm, and by appointment on Fridays.

Based on the plan it appears that the B series wetland is 20’-25’ away from the corner of the bb gun building.

No other Open Space parcels are immediately adjacent; however, some exist within the vicinity of the Property, as depicted on the Open Space Map (Attachment C), including the expansive Nickerson State Park located to the southeast. The Property itself contains various former camp facilities, including 80+ buildings (cabins, administrative building, etc.) and an assortment of amenities (e.g., swimming pool, playing fields Page 2 of 16 tennis and basketball courts, arts center, boathouse, archery/rifle ranges, etc.). The Bay parcel is primarily accessed via a southwesterly paved (gated entrance) driveway that loops throughout the campus connecting buildings and amenities. A secondary (gated) gravel driveway is present within the southeasterly portion of the site. An 8± acre open field exists within the southwesterly portion of the site, abutting Main Street (Route 6A), and contains playing fields (baseball, football, soccer). Smaller playing fields and/or grassed areas are also more present on-site further to the north. A variety of buildings are distributed throughout the Property, often amongst small patches of Forested Upland and/or standing, isolated mature trees. Scattered fragments Forested Upland are present throughout the Property at varying sizes, more established within the eastern portion of the Property. Fringing Forested Upland occurs along the westerly Property line. The Property lacks any substantive tracts of contiguous Forested Upland. Coastal Beach and Coastal Dune occupy the northern portion of the Property abutting Cape Cod Bay. The easterly on-site Coastal Dune also qualifies as a Barrier Beach. Tidal flats are associated with the Coastal Beach. Beach access is currently provided via two paths located within the northwesterly and north-central portion of the Property. Walking paths meander through portions of the Coastal Dune. Sand drift fencing is present at the toe of the Coastal Dune, on the Coastal Beach. A 1.4± acre Pond and associated Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVW) are located within the northeasterly portion of the Property. A dock is present within the southwesterly portion of the Pond. Walking paths and at-grade boardwalks also extend through portions of the BVW, proximate to the Pond. An Isolated Vegetated Wetland (IVW) exists immediately south/southwest of the BVW. A paved parking lot for public beach access was recently constructed in 2022 within the northerly portion of the site, replacing five (5) tennis courts. Two tennis courts remain immediately north of the parking lot. Considering that the proposed redevelopment occurred within the 100-foot Buffer Zone to protectable Coastal Resource Areas, the project received an Order of Conditions (DEP File #SE9-1924) from the Brewster Conservation Commission on April 27, 2022, specifically approving the milling, repairing, and installing overlay pavement for an existing area of asphalt pavement, adjusting and paving an existing gravel access roadway, constructing an access driveway from an existing roadway, installing two stormwater management systems, and managing an access path to the beach. The project includes areas on and within 50 and 100 feet of coastal wetlands. The boundaries to Coastal Beach, Coastal Dune, and Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage were not confirmed under the Order. The public beach is now named First Light Beach. Soils and Topography According to the NRCS Web Soil Survey (Attachment D), the upland portions of the Property are mapped as Plymouth loamy coarse sands, Carver coarse sands, and Carver-Hinesburg loamy coarse sands. The Plymouth soil series are excessively drained sandy soils formed in glaciofluvial or deltaic deposits derived largely from siliceous rocks. The Carver soil series are excessively drained and formed Page 3 of 16 in glaciofluvial deposits of coarse and very coarse sands. Carver-Hinesburg loamy coarse sands are hilly and steep, very deep, excessively drained soils, on side slopes, ridges, and hills in areas of ice-contact deposits. The upland soils are not identified as Prime Farmland Soils by MassGIS. The BVW is generally identified on the soil maps as Deerfield loamy fine sands that are very deep, moderately well drained soils formed in glaciofluvial deposits. The Coastal Dune area is generally represented by the Hooksan-Dune land complex (soil series). Topography on-site gradually ascends northward from Main Street/Route 6A towards the central portion of the site before descending to the north and northwest, generally towards the Wetland Resource Areas. The centrally-located topographic high point of the Property is at/around El. 60, which generally continues off-site to the east. Habitat Cover Types As mentioned above, the majority of the Property is occupied by developed conditions with fringing or patchy Forested Upland. Open Field conditions dominate the southerly portion of the Property. Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVW) extend off the Pond and a small Isolated Vegetated Wetland (IVW) is present immediately southwest of the Pond. The Coastal Dune and Coastal Beach within the northerly portion of the site is also described further below. Habitat cover types are depicted on the Habitat Cover Type Map (Attachment E). Open Field Approximately half of the 8±-acre open field within the southwesterly portion of the site, abutting Main Street, is comprised of playing fields (baseball, football, soccer). Surrounding field conditions resemble a Cultural Grassland; however, native grasses may be dominant. The entirety of the Open Field is actively mowed and the shorn grasses were not identifiable at the time of the site evaluations. Scattered trees, primarily eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), and shrubs occur intermittently. Forested Upland The fringing and patchy Forested Upland conditions vary across the Property. The Forested Upland present is relatively typical of pine-oak communities found across Cape Cod; however, invasive vegetation is prevalent within select areas as described below. Forested Upland conditions within the northerly portion of the site, abutting the Coastal Dune may be best characterized as a Maritime Forest. Within the southerly portion of the site, the fringing Forested Upland along the westerly Property line and abutting the paved entrance roadway is primarily occupied by invasive black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) trees with bush honeysuckle (Lonicera sp.), privet (Ligustrum sp.), and multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) shrubs, and Asiatic bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculata) and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) entanglements dominating the understory. Similar invasive vegetation is also found within the southeasterly portion of the site abutting the secondary (gated) gravel access road and buildings, in addition to scattered invasive tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima) and native black oak Page 4 of 16 (Quercus velutina), white oak (Quercus alba), black cherry (Prunus serotina), and pitch pine (Pinus rigida) trees. Poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) occupies portions of the groundcover along with seedlings and English ivy (Hedera helix) that also encases trees with Asiatic bittersweet. Invasive winged euonymus (Euonymus alatus) is prevalent along the westerly edge of the playing fields. Northeast of the playing fields, the patchy Forested Upland transitions to more of a partially to moderately open canopy of native oaks and pitch pine trees nestled amongst cabins. The understory appears to have been historically actively managed with small patches and individuals of saplings, bayberry (Myrica pensylvanica), and poison ivy remaining. Larger stands of Forested Upland are present within the northeasterly portion of the site, north of the swimming pool area; however, bisected by various trails and roads. The northeasterly Forested Upland is largely dominated by oaks and pitch pine with the understory and groundcover composed of variable black huckleberry (Gaylussacia baccata), bayberry, bush honeysuckle, nannyberry (Viburnum lentago), arrowwood (Viburnum dentatum), lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium), common greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), and poison ivy. Similar Forested Upland habitat conditions fringe along the northwesterly Property line. Maritime Forest habitat is present east/northeast of the recently constructed beach parking lot, abutting the Coastal Dune and BVW, in addition to immediately west of the First Light Beach access. The Maritime Forest contains tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica) stands amongst various oak, black cherry, and sassafras (Sassafras albidum) trees and saplings. The understory is intermittently occupied by bush honeysuckle, privet, and arrowwood. Pitch pine and eastern red cedar trees and/or saplings sporadically are present along the edge of adjacent developed conditions along with invasive species consisting of autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata), winged euonymus, and Asiatic bittersweet. As noted above, standing, isolated mature trees are scattered throughout the interior of the campus amongst buildings. The majority of the standing trees are black oak at 12-36± inch dbh with intermittent white oak, pitch pine, spruce (Picea sp.), black cherry, and black locust. Invasive vegetation, listed as “Invasive” plants by the Massachusetts Invasive Species Plant Advisory Group (MIPAG), across the Property is more common along the edges of developed conditions, most notably abutting areas where vegetative debris has been stored or stockpiled. Small concentrations of invasive weeping lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula) and cypress spurge (Euphorbia cyparissias) (likely- invasive) were also observed proximate to Building #40 within the northeasterly portion of the Property. Additional herbaceous invasive species (e.g., garlic mustard) may also be present on-site; however, were not detectable at the time of the site evaluations due to the seasonality of their vegetative stages. Vegetated Wetlands The site contains Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVW) associated with an unnamed Pond and intermittent stream/drainage ditch, and an Isolated Vegetated Wetland (IVW). LEC demarcated the Page 5 of 16 wetland boundaries on January 11, 2023, in accordance with the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (M.G.L. c. 131 ss. 40) and its implementing Regulations (310 C.M.R. 10.00), and Town of Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaw (Chapter 172) and Wetlands Regulations (1.01 -5.01). The wetland boundaries were based on the observations of the existing plant communities, using the “fifty percent criteria” to determine dominance of wetland/upland vegetation, the interpretation of soil characteristics, and other indicators of hydrology, in accordance with the following: Delineating Bordering Vegetated Wetlands under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (March 1995), prepared by MassDEP; Field Indicators for Identifying Hydric Soils in New England-Version 4, June 2018 and A Field Companion to Field Indicators for Identifying Hydric Soils in New England Version 4, dated May 2017; Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual: Northcentral and Northeast Region (January 2012); and local Bylaw/Regulations. Wetland flags A1-A40 (BVW), and B1-B6 (IVW) are depicted on the Wetland Map (Attachment F). The wetland flags were GPS-located by LEC utilizing a Trimble Handheld GEO XH-7000 Global Positioning System (GPS) unit with a post-processing accuracy ranging from 1-100 cm. The GPS data is intended for planning purposes only. Should a project proceed forward with permitting, a professional land surveyor or registered engineer will need to survey-locate the flags and plot them on a stamped survey plan. Bordering Vegetated Wetlands Flag numbers A1-40 generally represent Forested Wetland (BVW) extending west off the Pond. The Forested Wetland is dominated by tupelo with a variable understory of sweet pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia), highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), swamp azalea (Rhododendron viscosum), bayberry, and common greenbrier within the understory. Sphagnum moss (Sphagnum sp.), cinnamon fern (Osmunda cinnamomea), and seedlings occupy portions of the groundcover. Leatherleaf (Chamaedaphne calyculata) and swamp loosestrife (Decodon verticillatus) occur at the southwesterly and westerly edges of the Pond. The northeasterly edge of the Pond and abutting BVW is dominated by a dense, monoculture stand of invasive common reed (Phragmites australis). An elevated boardwalk crosses the easterly edge of the Pond, extending parallel to the Property line. A drainage ditch/intermittent stream is located within the northeasterly portion of the Pond, extending northward towards the Coastal Beach. BVW associated with the ditch is defined by flags A29-A36. A small boardwalk crosses the ditch just north of flags A29 and A36. The 1-3± foot wide ditch tapers to the north before terminating at accumulated wind-blown sand deposits associated with the Coastal Dune. The ditch is defined by sandy embankments and overhanging oak saplings, poison ivy, seaside rose (Rosa rugosa). Phragmites dominates the ditch closer to the Pond. The ditch appears to have been man-made to drain the Pond towards Cape Cod Bay during high water periods; however, salt water from the Bay may enter the Pond during extreme storm events. The ditch does not experience daily tidal inundation. The stream is depicted on the USGS Topographic Map (Attachment A). Page 6 of 16 Based on the dominance of freshwater vegetation around the water body and apparent infrequent salt water intrusion and limited salt spray influence, the Pond appears to be primarily freshwater. Excluding the Phragmites within the northerly/northeasterly portion of the Pond, the remaining species (see above) consist of freshwater vegetation that generally do not tolerate saline conditions. The Pond does not have any apparent fluvial surficial freshwater inputs (i.e., tributaries discharging to), and therefore is likely influenced by groundwater (spring-fed) with minimal surficial runoff from the surrounding micro- watershed area. LEC is unaware of any salinity testing within the water body. Should the Pond be saline, it would qualify as a Salt Pond under the WPA Regulations at 310 CMR 10.33 and Bylaw Regulations at Section 2.07 similarly defined as a shallow enclosed or semi-enclosed body of saline water that may be partially or totally restricted by barrier beach formation. Isolated Vegetated Wetlands The IVW located southwest of the Pond occurs within a shallow, oval-shaped depression occupied by winterberry (Ilex verticillata) and elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) shrubs and dense Asiatic bittersweet and common greenbrier entanglements. In addition to high groundwater contributions, the IVW appears to receive surficial runoff from the upgradient paved driveway adjacent to Buildings 38 and 40. Runoff appears to flow overland from the paved surface, across the gravel/sandy path, and then towards the IVW. The IVW does not appear to hold significant standing water based on visible water marks, but does become saturated at the surface as evidenced by the presence of water-stained leaves. The IVW does not appear to provide Vernal Pool habitat characteristics. Although not jurisdictional under the WPA, the IVW qualifies as a protectable Vegetated Wetland under the Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaw & Regulations. Coastal Resource Areas Coastal Dune The rolling Coastal Dune is vegetated by a multitude of plants, including, but not limited to black oak, black cherry, pitch pine, beach plum (Prunus maritima), bayberry, seaside rose, poison ivy, false heather (Hudsonia tomentosa), and American beachgrass (Ammophila breviligulata). As stated above, walking paths meander throughout the Coastal Dune, in addition to two (open) beach access paths. The Coastal Dune is relatively well vegetated, excluding the paths and a denuded area within the central portion of the dune where a swimming pool was previously located. Invasive vegetation was observed within portions of the Coastal Dune, though in lower densities. Invasive species include autumn olive, bush honeysuckle, Asiatic bittersweet, and Japanese honeysuckle. The seaward face of the Coastal Dune is composed of a mosaic of rolling vegetated surfaces, sloughing vegetation, and unvegetated, steep vertical cuts/embankments due to erosion from winds and storms. Page 7 of 16 Coastal Beach Coastal Beach with expansive tidal flats extending into Cape Cod Bay occurs landward of the Coastal Dune scarp (beach/dune interface). The Coastal Beach is mostly composed of fine sand with pockets of cobble and small rocks. Sand drift fencing is present on the Coastal Beach, at the toe of the Coastal Dune. Shoreline Change Shorelines change constantly in response to wind, waves, tides, sea level fluctuation, seasonal and climatic variation, human alteration, and other factors that influence the movement of sand and other material within a shoreline system. The MA Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Shoreline Change Project / Massachusetts Ocean Resource Information System (MORIS) provides shoreline change data for long-term trends (1840s-2014) and short-term trends (1970-2014). Using historical and modern sources, transects are established at 50-meter (164 feet) intervals along the shoreline, providing data on net distances of shoreline movement, change rates, and uncertainty values. Along the site’s frontage on Cape Cod Bay and immediate vicinity, the long-term rates generally vary between -0.3 to -0.7 feet/year (erosion); however, one transect yielded no statistical change. The short- term trends are classified as no statistical change, but vary between -0.9 to 0.4 feet/year. As evident by the accumulation of wind-blown sand within the northerly remaining tennis courts, continued landward migration of the Coastal Dune is expected in the short-term. FEMA Mapping According to the July 16, 2014 FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for Barnstable County (Map Number 25001C0418J), the northerly portion of the Property within the Coastal Dune and Coastal Beach is located within a Flood Zone VE (El. 15), Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) Subject to Inundation by the 1% Annual Chance Flood—Coastal flood zone with velocity hazard (wave action); Base Flood Elevations determined. Remaining portions of the Property are located within Zone X, Areas determined to be outside the 0.2% annual chance floodplain (Attachment G). Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program Designation According to the 15th Edition of the Massachusetts Natural Heritage Atlas (effective August 1, 2021) published by the Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP), upland portions of the Property are not located within a Priority Habitat of Rare Species and Estimated Habitat of Rare Species (Attachment H). Priority Habitat 474 (PH 474) minimally extends onto the northeasterly corner of the Property and is confined to a narrow section of the Coastal Beach along the intertidal zone. PH 474 extends for approximately 700± linear feet, continuing off-site to the northeast, and is presumably associated with foraging habitat for two rare birds: piping plover (Charadrius melodus) and/or common tern (Sterna hirundo). PH 892 occurs 660± linear feet northeast of the Property Page 8 of 16 and includes Coastal Beach and Coastal Dune areas proximate to Linnell Landing Beach where shorebirds are known to nest. Off-shore portions of Cape Cod Bay are also located within a Priority Habitat (PH 892), presumably for state-listed marine species. No Certified or Potential Vernal Pools as mapped by MassGIS are located within or in the immediate vicinity of the Property. BioMap MassWildlife and The Nature Conservancy, with support from the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, released the newly-updated BioMap tool in November 2022, to guide strategic protection and stewardship of lands and waters that are the most important for conserving biological diversity in Massachusetts. BioMap conservation targets are organized into two main elements: Core Habitat and Critical Natural Landscape (CNL). Core Habitat identifies key areas that are critical for the long-term persistence of rare species, exemplary natural communities, and resilient ecosystems across the Commonwealth. Critical Natural Landscape identifies larger natural landscape blocks that are minimally impacted by development, as well as buffers to core habitats and coastal areas, both of which enhance connectivity and resilience. According to BioMap MassGIS data layers, the Property is not located within a “Critical Natural Landscape”. Core Habitat minimally extends onto the northeasterly portion of the Coastal Beach, coincident with the NHESP rare species mapping (Attachment I). Area of Critical Environmental Concern The project site does not lie within an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). Wildlife Portions of the Property may provide important food, shelter, breeding, migratory, and overwintering habitat for wildlife species. However, wildlife habitat functions may be limited considering the developed nature of the Property, lack of a substantive and contiguous Forested Upland, and extent of invasive species within certain areas, in addition to the surrounding residential development. Significant wildlife habitat is associated with the Coastal Dune, Coastal Beach, BVW, and Pond Resource Areas occupying the northerly portion of the Property that provide a critical link to adjoining habitats along the shoreline to Cape Cod Bay. Northeasterly Forested Upland habitat areas also provide a valuable habitat connection to the easterly abutting 24± acre town-owned Spruce Hill Conservation Area. While scattered amongst developed conditions, the isolated, standing mature trees on-site do provide important habitat for birds and semi-arboreal mammals. The following reviews wildlife species that are likely to utilize the Property based on existing habitat conditions, complementing LEC’s direct wildlife observations; however, it is important to note that Page 9 of 16 LEC’s site evaluations were limited in nature and not conducted during the active season for most species. Mammals Mammals likely to utilize the Property, or portions thereof, include but are not limited to white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), eastern coyote (Canis latrans), red fox (Vulpes vulpes), fisher (Martes pennanti), raccoon (Procyon lotor), skunk (Mephitis mephitis), eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus), gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus), deer mice (Peromyscus sp.), meadow voles (Microtus sp.), and/or common mole (Scalopus aquaticus). The Property may provide limited summer foraging and sheltering habitat for various bats; eight (8) bats have been documented within the nearby Cape Cod National Seashore (CCNS). The most common bat documented within the CCNS is the big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus). The Property could provide habitat for the state and federally-listed Northern Long-Eared Bat (NLEB, Myotis septentrionalis), currently listed as “Endangered” under the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (MESA) and “Threatened” under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA). Potential habitat for the NLEB is identified statewide by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and subject to a Final 4(d) rule under the ESA, effective February 16, 2016. Projects that result in tree removal activities shall comply with the 4(d) rule under the ESA, which states: “Incidental take resulting from tree removal is prohibited if 1) Occurs within 0.25 mile radius of known northern long-eared bat hibernacula or 2) cuts or destroys known occupied maternity roost trees, or any other trees within a 150-foot radius from the known maternity tree during the pup season (June 1 through July 31).” According to the online database maintained by MA NHESP, current as of January 2021, (http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/dfg/dfw/natural-heritage/species-information-and-conservation/rare- mammals/northern-long-eared-bat.html), the Property is not located within 0.25 miles of a known hibernacula or 150 linear feet of a known maternity roost tree. The closest known maternity roost tree has been documented in Eastham, approximately 4.4± miles away. No NLEB hibernacula have been documented on Cape Cod per NHESP’s database. USFWS has reclassified the NLEB as “Endangered,” now effective March 31, 2023, nullifying the current 4(d) Rule. USFWS are in the process of providing guidance and additional review/consultation may be necessary if forested conversion (tree clearing) is proposed in the future. Birds The Property may provide habitat for various year-round, migrant, and breeding avian species, including but not limited to mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), gray catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), chipping sparrow (Spizella passerina), song sparrow (Melospiza melodia), black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus), tufted titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor), house wren (Troglodytes aedon), common Page 10 of 16 yellowthroat (Geothylpis trichas), blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata), northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis), tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor), American robin (Turdus migratorius), Canada goose (Branta canadensis), American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), red-bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus), downy woodpecker (Picoides pubescens), brown creeper (Certhia americana), and/or white- breasted nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis), and osprey (Pandion haliaetus). Yellow-rumped warblers (Setophaga coronata), golden-crowned kinglets (Regulus satrapa) and red-breasted nuthatches (Sitta canadensis) are likely present during the winter months. The Coastal Beach on the Property is located within the expansive “Brewster -Eastham Flats” Important Bird Area (IBA), as identified by MassAudubon, and includes approximately 9.7 miles of shoreline, over 3,500 acres of tidal flats, and almost 600 acres of Salt Marsh. The IBA hosts a multitude of shorebirds, including, but not limited to piping plover, terns, and brant (Branta bernicla). Black-bellied plovers (Pluvialis squatarola), sanderlings (Calidris alba), and dunlins (Calidris alpina) use the area during fall migration and early winter. Linnell Landing Beach located to the northeast has been identified as a Cornell University eBird Hotspot with over ninety-seven (97) species identified (Attachment J). Most of the species are likely to utilize the property, or portion thereof. Reptiles/Amphibians The Property may provide habitat for the following snakes: eastern garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis), milk snake (Lampropeltis triangulum), and northern black racer (Coluber constrictor); amphibians: eastern red-backed salamander (Plethodon cinereus), and American toad (Anaxyrus americanus); and turtles, painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) and snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina) primarily associated with the Pond and the BVW. While the Property is not located within a NHESP-mapped Priority/Estimated Habitat, suitable habitat conditions are present for the state-listed Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina). This species utilizes forested uplands similar to the more contiguous stands found on the Property for its foraging, sheltering and over-wintering habitat requirements. Habitat utilization of the Pond by amphibians and turtles is dependent salinity levels. Should salinity levels be low, painted turtles and snapping turtles may be present, while amphibians (i.e., spring peepers (Pseudocris crucifer), wood frogs (Rana sylvaticus) or spotted salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum) may utilize the edges of the Pond and/or abutting seasonally inundated portions of the BVW/Forested Wetland. Fish Fish may be present within the Pond; however, they were not observed during site investigations due to the time of the year. Any fish population would be dependent upon salinity levels. Under existing conditions, the intermittent stream/drainage ditch does not function as an anadromous/ catadromous fish run. Page 11 of 16 Wetland Regulatory Implications Wetland Resource Areas on or immediately adjacent to the property include Bordering Vegetated Wetlands, (Isolated) Vegetated Wetlands, Bank, Land Under Water, Coastal Beach, Coastal Dune, Barrier Beach, Land Under the Ocean, and Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage (LSCSF). These Wetland Resource Areas are protected under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (WPA, M.G.L. c. 131 ss. 40)and its implementing Regulations (310 C.M.R. 10.00), and/or Town of Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaw (Chapter 172) and Wetlands Regulations (1.01 -5.01). The WPA Regulations and local Bylaw Regulations maintain performance standards for work proposed within Resource Areas and/or the 100- foot jurisdictional Buffer Zone. The on-site or immediately adjacent Wetland Resource Areas are likely to be significant to the following interests/values protected under the WPA Regulations or Bylaw Regulations: public and private water supply, groundwater supply and quality, water quality, flood control, storm damage prevention, erosion and sedimentation control, prevention of pollution, wildlife or wildlife habitat, fisheries, aesthetics, and historic values. Should the Pond be saline and qualify as a Salt Pond under the WPA Regulations at 310 CMR 10.33 and Bylaw Regulations at Section 2.07, Land Under Salt Ponds would also be present. To reiterate, a Salt Pond is a shallow enclosed or semi-enclosed body of saline water that may be partially or totally restricted by barrier beach formation. The following reviews the Wetland Resource Areas and performance standards in greater detail. Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVW) BVW is defined in 310 CMR 10.55(2) as freshwater wetlands which border on creeks, rivers, streams, ponds and lakes. The types of freshwater wetlands are wet meadows, marshes, swamps and bogs. Bordering Vegetated Wetlands are areas where the soils are saturated and/or inundated such that they support a predominance of wetland indicator plants. BVW is also afforded protection under Section 3.02-Vegetated Wetlands of the Bylaw Regulations. The BVW, demarcated by flags A1-A40, is described above. The WPA Regulations have specific performance standards for work within BVW. Section 3.02 of the Bylaw Regulations states that no activity, other than the maintenance of an already existing structure, which will result in the building within or upon, removing, filling, or altering of a vegetated wetland, or of land within 50 feet of a vegetated wetland, shall be permitted by the Conservation Commission, except for activity which is allowed under a variance from these regulations granted pursuant to Section 5.01… Any activity which is allowed under a variance granted pursuant to Section 5.01 of these regulations upon or within 50 feet of a vegetated wetland shall not impair in any way the vegetated wetland' s ability to perform any of the functions set forth in Section 3.02 (1). Page 12 of 16 (Isolated) Vegetated Wetlands According to Section 3.02 of the Bylaw Regulations, Vegetated Wetlands are freshwater wetlands. The types of freshwater wetlands are wet meadows, marshes, swamps and bogs. They are areas where the topography is low and flat, and where the soils are annually saturated. The ground and surface water regime and the vegetational community which occur in each type of freshwater wetland… The IVW, demarcated by flags B1-B6, is described above and protected under the Bylaw/Regulations. An IVW is also located off-site to the west on Parcel 102-13 (178 Bonnie Doone Cartway), behind Units 17-19 as depicted on the Habitat Cover Type Map (Attachment E). Based on recent approvals and plans of record, the IVW appears to be located slightly greater than 25 feet from the easterly property line. The IVW does not appear to provide Vernal Pool habitat and is vegetated primarily by tupelo and highbush blueberry. The Bylaw-jurisdictional 100-foot Buffer Zone extends partially on-site. As reviewed above, the Bylaw Regulations states that no activity, other than the maintenance of an already existing structure, which will result in the building within or upon, removing, filling, or altering of a vegetated wetland, or of land within 50 feet of a vegetated wetland, shall be permitted by the Conservation Commission, except for activity which is allowed under a variance from these regulations granted pursuant to Section 5.01… Any activity which is allowed under a variance granted pursuant to Section 5.01 of these regulations upon or within 50 feet of a vegetated wetland shall not impair in any way the vegetated wetland' s ability to perform any of the functions set forth in Section 3.02 (1). Bank Bank is defined at 310 CMR 10.54 and Section 3.01 of the Bylaw Regulations as the portion of the land surface which normally abuts and confines a water body. A Bank may be partially or totally vegetated or it may be comprised of exposed soil, gravel or stone. The upper boundary of a Bank is the first observable break in the slope of the mean annual flood level, whichever is lower. The lower boundary of a Bank is the mean annual low flow level. Bank is associated with the Pond and was not separately demarcated. Wetland flags A29-A36 demarcate Bank to the intermittent stream/drainage ditch as described above. The WPA Regulations and Bylaw Regulations have specific performance standards for proposed work on a Bank. Section 3.01 of the Bylaw Regulations also states that no activity, other than the maintenance of an already existing structure, which will result in the building within or upon, removing, filling, or altering of a bank, on land within 50 feet of any bank, shall be permitted by the Conservation Commission, except for activity which is allowed under a variance from these regulations granted pursuant to Section 5.01. Furthermore, the Bylaw Regulations require that any proposed work within the 100-foot Buffer Zone shall not impair the functions and values of the Bank, including: 1. the physical stability of the Bank; 2. the water carrying capacity of the existing channel within the Bank; 3. ground Page 13 of 16 water and surface water quality; 4. the capacity of the Bank to provide breeding habitat, escape cover and food for fisheries. Land Under Water (LUW) The WPA Regulations at 310 CMR 10.56 and Bylaw Regulations at Section 3.03 similarly define Land under Water Bodies and Waterways as the land beneath any creek, river, stream, pond or lake. Said land may be composed of organic muck or peat, fine sediments, rocks or bedrock. Land Under Water (LUW) is present below the mean annual low water of the intermittent stream/drainage ditch and Pond. The WPA Regulations have specific performance standards for work within LUW. The Bylaw Regulations stipulate that no activity, other than the maintenance of an already existing structure, which will result in the building within or upon, removing, filling, or altering of land under a waterbody shall be permitted by the Conservation Commission, except for activity which is allowed under a variance from these regulation granted pursuant to Section 5.01. The Bylaw Regulations also require that any proposed work within LUW shall not impair the functions and values of the Resource Area, including 1) The water carrying capacity within the defined channel, which is provided by said land in conjunction with the banks; 2. Ground and surface quality; and 3. The capacity of said land to provide breeding habitat, escape cover and food for fisheries. Coastal Beach Coastal Beach includes Tidal Flats as both are defined under the WPA Regulations (310 CMR 10.27) and Bylaw Regulations (Section 2.02): Coastal Beach means unconsolidated sediment subject to wave, tidal and coastal storm action which forms the gently sloping shore of a body of salt water and includes tidal flats. Coastal beaches extend from the mean low water line landward to the dune line, coastal bankline or the seaward edge of existing human-made structures, when these structures replace one of the above lines, whichever is closest to the ocean. Tidal Flat means any nearly level part of a coastal beach which usually extends from the mean low water line landward to the more steeply sloping face of the coastal beach or which may be separated from the beach by land under the ocean. The WPA Regulations stipulate several performance standards to avoid adverse effects when a Coastal Beach is determined to be significant to storm damage prevention, flood control, marine fisheries, or protection of wildlife habitat. The Bylaw Regulations simply state that no activity, other than maintenance of an already existing structure, which will result in the building within or upon, removing, filling, or altering of coastal beaches or tidal flats, or of any land within 50 feet of any coastal beach or tidal flat, shall be permitted by Page 14 of 16 the Conservation Commission, except for activity which is allowed under a variance from these regulations granted pursuant to Section 5.01. Coastal Dune The WPA Regulations (310 CMR 10.28) and Bylaw Regulations (Section 2.03) both define Coastal Dune as any natural hill, mound or ridge of sediment landward of a coastal beach deposited by wind action or storm overwash. Coastal dune also means sediment deposited by artificial means and serving the purpose of storm damage prevention or flood control. Any alteration of the Coastal Dune or lands within 100 feet shall not have an adverse effect on the dune by: a) affecting the ability of waves to remove sand from the dune; b) disturbing the vegetative cover so as to destabilize the dune; c) causing any modification of the dune form that would increase the potential for storm or flood damage; d) interfering with the landward or lateral movement of the dune; e) causing removal of sand from the dune artificially; or f) interfering with mapped or otherwise identified bird nesting habitat. The WPA Regulations and Bylaw Regulations also state that the following projects may be permitted: a) pedestrian walkways, designed to minimize the disturbance to the vegetative cover; b) fencing and other devices designed to increase dune development; and c) plantings compatible with the natural vegetative cover. The Bylaw Regulations further state that no activity, other than the maintenance of an already existing structure, which will result in the building within or upon, removing, filling, or altering of a coastal dune or of any land within 50 feet of any coastal dune shall be permitted by the Conservation Commission, except for activity which is allowed under a variance from these regulations granted pursuant to Section 5.01. It should be noted that a portion of the parking lot redevelopment occurred within 50 feet of the Coastal Dune and delineated by others. The Conservation Commission issued a Variance for the project, in part due to the project details, designed to avoid adverse impacts, the overriding public interest, and proposed mitigation measures, including erosion control measures, improved stormwater management, and native plantings, that contribute to the protection of the resource values (interests) identified in the Bylaw. It is LEC’s understanding that the mitigation plantings have not yet been installed as part of the open Order of Conditions. The mitigation planting area is represented on the Wetlands Map (Attachment F). Barrier Beach The WPA Regulations at 310 CMR 10.28 and Bylaw Regulations at Section 2.04 similarly define Barrier Beach as a narrow low-lying strip of land generally consisting of coastal beaches and coastal dunes extending roughly parallel to the trend of the coast. It is separated from the mainland by a narrow body of fresh, brackish or saline water or a marsh system. A barrier beach may be joined to the mainland at one or both ends. Page 15 of 16 The Barrier Beach is specifically located on-site within the Coastal Dune/Coastal Beach between CD flag #1 and BVW flag #40, between the Pond and Cape Cod Bay. When a Barrier Beach is determined to be significant to storm damage prevention, flood control, marine fisheries or protection of wildlife habitat, performance standards for Coastal Beach (310 CMR 10.27(3) through (6) and Bylaw Regulations Section 2.02(3)) and Coastal Dune (10.28(3) through (5) and Bylaw Regulations Section 2.04 (3) through (5)) apply; however, no project may be permitted which will have any adverse effect on specified habitat sites of rare vertebrate or invertebrate species. Land Under the Ocean The WPA Regulations (310 CMR 10.25) and Bylaw Regulations (Section 2.01) both define Land Under the Ocean as the land extending from the mean low water line seaward to the boundary of the municipality's jurisdiction and includes land under estuaries. The WPA Regulations and Bylaw Regulations stipulate numerous performance standards to ensure the protection of Land Under the Ocean. Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage (LSCSF) LSCSF is defined under the WPA Regulations and Bylaw Regulations as land subject to any inundation caused by coastal storms up to and including that caused by the 100 year storm, surge of record or storm record, whichever is greater. LSCSF/Flood Zone VE (El. 15) occurs within the northerly portion of the site within the Coastal Dune and Coastal Beach areas according to the July 16, 2014 FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for Barnstable County (Map Number 25001C0418J). The landward limit of the LSCSF is equivalent to the digitized FEMA FIRM boundary. The WPA Regulations and Bylaw Regulations currently do not identify any specific performance standards for work within LSCSF; however, LSCSF does occur within other Resource Areas (Coastal Dune and Coastal Beach). Variance (Bylaw) As reviewed under Part V of the Bylaw Regulations, the Conservation Commission may, in its discretion, grant variances of performance standards, provided that mitigating measures are proposed that contribute to the protection of resource values (interests); no reasonable alternative exists, and the proposed project will have no adverse impact. Recommendations LEC offers the following short-term ecological recommendations based on current site conditions: •Remove the remaining northerly tennis courts and replace with natural, enhanced dune with vegetation to increase coastal resiliency and allow for the existing dune sand to migrate naturally. Page 16 of 16 •Conduct dune enhancement activities to improve dune stability and coastal resiliency (i.e., revegetating denuded areas, etc.). •Evaluate paths through dune and BVW, abandon those deemed not critical for future access needs, upgrade boardwalks as necessary, etc. •Design and implement a comprehensive Invasive Species Management Plan, including the Phragmites stand present at the Pond and multitude of invasive vegetation spread throughout the campus. •Provide stormwater management (i.e., vegetated swale, rain garden, etc.) between Units 38 and 40 upgradient of the IVW. Summary The Bay Parcel contains valuable Wetland Resource Areas along/proximate to the shoreline that also provide important wildlife habitat functions, values, and connectivity to adjoining areas. The interior of the site may offer limited wildlife habitat due to the existing conditions and surrounding development. LEC offers short-term ecological recommendations for dune restoration/enhancement, path improvements, invasive species management, and stormwater management upgrades. Consultation and review the Brewster Conservation Commission and/or MassDEP would be required for any proposed work activity within a Wetland Resource Area or the jurisdictional 100-foot Buffer Zone, excluding normal maintenance. Analysis of regulatory performance standards may be necessary, depending on the nature of the activity. LEC is pleased to submit this Natural Resources Inventory Report.

Based on the comments of the commissioners and our conversations about bringing the project into compliance with an older open order, we have added a significant amount of lawn replacement and 40 shrubs in addition to the five replacement trees. You will see on the plan this is a dramatic increase in the size of the vegetated buffer and easily passes the standard we discussed of being "equal to and better" than what was missing. The land management protocols have been updated and include a clear picture of the view corridor and a section showing the current and proposed vegetation heights within the view corridor. Let me know if you have any questions, we are looking forward to discussing the plan further with you and the commission next week. Our associates at BSC and LDA will also be sending along detailed plans for the proposed steps.

LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN 47 Governor Prence Road Brewster, MA May 15, 2023 NCobb’s Pond 100’ Buffer 50’ Buffer BVW 2 INTRODUCTION The property is located off Governor Prence Road and abuts Cobb’s Pond to the south. A Bordering Vegetated Wetland (BVW) runs along the southern edge, adjoining the pond. This Land Management Plan (LMP) accompanies a Notice of Intent (NOI) filing for construction activities and mitigation. The proposed vegetation management focuses on invasive, aggressive and non-native plant removal, minor vista management pruning, and planting to restore native plant communities. Project activities will occur within the BVW and its buffers. AREA DIAGRAM #47 PROJECT GOALS The goals of the project include: 1. Conserving and restoring the existing native plant community in areas that are currently degraded by invasive plant species. These actions will improve the resource area’s ability to filter runoff and contaminants, as well as enhance the quality of habitat available to wildlife. 2. Developing a sustainable, long-term vista management plan that considers plant health and limits ongoing disturbance in resource buffer areas. The numbered photo points and directions correspond to the numbered images on page three. 1 3 2 3 EXISTING CONDITIONS The existing residence, driveway, and surrounding landscape are situated in the middle of the property. Areas of naturalized vegetation line the property boundaries and extend to the edge of Cobb’s Pond. This naturalized vegetation is composed of State-listed invasive, non-native, and native plants. The vegetation includes native trees and shrubs, and is heavily degraded by various State-listed invasive and non-native species. The area has been divided into three color overlays in the Area Diagram on page two, as described below. The orange overlay contains a mix of native, non-native, and State-listed invasive plant species. A mature tree canopy covers the majority of the area, with pitch pine being the dominant tree species. Oak, black cherry, tupelo, and American holly are the secondary native tree species in the area. English oak, a non-native tree species, has begun to colonize the area as well. A number of pruned cherry saplings were observed in the center of the slope. The shrub layer vegetation is dominated by vine honeysuckle, shrub honeysuckle, multiflora rose, and Asiatic bittersweet. Some native bayberry and arrowwood were observed within the thicket of greenbriar vines and State-listed invasives but at very low densities. Very little ground cover vegetation was found likely due to the dense canopy of vines and invasives blocking sunlight from reaching the ground. The red overlay contains a mature canopy of pitch pines, with the understory vegetation dominated by English Ivy. The ivy is very well established and has spread up the trunks of most pitch pines, increasing their risk of windthrow due to the weight of the vines. Shrub honeysuckle and multi-flora rose are mixed in with the English ivy beyond the edge of the tree canopy, where sunlight is stronger. The yellow overlay includes the BVW and toe of slope adjacent to Cobb’s Pond. The dominant vegetation is a thicket of mature native shrubs, including highbush blueberry, elderberry, and water willow throughout the BVW. The vegetation transitions to upland species like arrowwood, bayberry, and serviceberry at higher elevations. Greenbriar is also quite dominant outside of the BVW, as are some of the State-listed invasive species like Asiatic bittersweet and vine honeysuckle. 2 1 3 N RESTORATION PROJECT AREA 15,400 sqft of vegetation management to remove State-listed and non- native plant species and restore a native plant community. Cobb’s Pond view coridoor 100’ Buffer 50’ Buffer BVW #47 4 Vegetation Management Vegetation management will target all invasive, non-native, and aggressive plant species within the project area. For a full listing of the plant species to be managed, refer to the Invasive Plant Management Protocols in the Appendix on pages eight and nine. Invasive plant species can cause profound changes to the environmental conditions of a site, including soil nutrient levels, sun exposure, increased erosion, and the ability to negatively affect resources for wildlife. For a description of the environmental effects of the non-native and invasive plant species proposed for removal, refer to the Appendix. Treatments of invasive, non-native, and aggressive plant species will be performed with selective herbicide applications using best management practices specific to each plant species. Methods of application will include cut and wipe method to treat individual stems as well as low-volume spot application for species such as vine honeysuckle and English ivy or smaller stems of other targeted plant species. Poison ivy is also proposed for management where it may come into contact with people. All herbicide applications will be performed by Massachusetts-licensed applicators. Aggressive native vines such as green briar, grape, and poison ivy are not PROJECT AREA DIAGRAM PROPOSED PROJECT ACTIVITIES The project goals that include conserving and restoring a plant community and developing a sustainable long-term vista management plan will be met through the following proposed activities: 1. Vegetation Management: Manage invasive, non-native, and aggressive plant species within the project area. 2. Vista Management Pruning: Implement a sustainable long-term management plan that considers plant health and limits ongoing disturbance in resource areas. 3. Native Plant Restoration: Seed appropriate native grasses and supplementally plant native shrubs and trees to restore the targeted native plant community. 5 proposed to be treated with herbicide; these aggressive natives are only proposed to be managed by hand pruning to limit their ability to outcompete other native species and hinder restoration efforts by rapidly colonizing recently managed areas. The removal of pre-treated vegetation will include both machine and hand removal. Compact low ground pressure machines will be used to remove root material in areas with a shallow slope and few native plants. Hand removal will be employed on sloped areas surrounding the pond to protect soil stability and existing native vegetation. Invasive vines such as bittersweet, intertwined with viable native species, will be treated and left in place until desiccated, then removed without damaging underlying vegetation. Existing native shrubs within the project area that have poor structure and are degraded from invasive pressure, are proposed for regenerative pruning. This pruning technique is proposed to restore a natural healthy branching structure and will result in increased biomass of the subject plant over several years. After vegetation management is complete, bare soils will be seeded with native grass mix listed on the Restoration Plan and covered with biodegradable mulch or erosion control blankets where necessary. Vista Management Proposed vista management activities are focused on maintaining a view of Cobb’s Pond from the residence. The vista management protocol has been designed to provide a sustainable, long-term pruning strategy that considers the health of existing plants and limits ongoing disturbance in buffer areas. This will include a program of coppicing non- native sweet cherries within the proposed vista corridor. These techniques will preserve native vegetation and allow additional sunlight into the woodland, helping to diversify the woodland structure and plant species composition. Following management, permanent markers will be installed along the edge of the vista management corridor. Refer to the Project Area Diagram on page four or the Restoration Plan for the location of the proposed vista corridor. Coppicing is an accepted silviculture practice that involves periodically cutting back woody vegetation to produce stands of shorter trees. This gives declining trees the opportunity to regenerate their canopies, structure, habitat value, and become a resilient part of a healthy native plant community. The process begins with an initial flush cut of the tree to ground level in the first year of management, which causes it to re-sprout vigorously and produce multiple stems that develop into a shrub-like form. In subsequent years, the healthiest and most vigorous sprouts are selected while remaining ones are pruned away to maintain the shrub’s form. Additionally, the oldest and tallest sprouts are pruned away periodically to maintain the targeted height as well as the tree’s vigor and habitat value. The increased light levels reaching the soil below can also stimulate germination and growth of understory plants. WED has experienced that a coppiced tree with a healthy root system can generate 3-5 feet of new growth each year. Coppiced trees usually surpass their current biomass, grow rapidly, and eventually become a hard mast source for wildlife. Refer the image at the bottom of page seven showing the growth of a cherry following coppicing. Within the vista management corridor, coppicing is proposed for approximately 9-10 non-native cherries. The coppicing of the cherries will be mitigated by the planting of 12 native trees. After the initial flush cut, new leaders will be allowed to regrow to height of 10’. When a leader begins to surpass the specified height, it will be removed, leaving the remaining leaders to continue growing. This coppicing will continue on an annual or biannual basis to maintain the specified height of the vegetation. Native Plant Restoration Restoring and establishing native vegetation in areas of bare soils following invasive plant removal is an important component to restoration success. Establishing native plant communities discourages the re-colonization of invasive and unwanted plants by limiting the resources available to such plants (i.e., sunlight, nutrients, and growing space). After invasive species removal has reached approximately 85% eradication, the project area will be planted with native trees and shrubs such as eastern red cedar, tupelo, bayberry, black chokeberry, arrowwood, and Virginia rose. Refer to the Restoration Plan for a full listing of proposed species. Native plant restoration recommendations are based on a number of environmental factors including soils, topography, solar exposure, salt tolerance, and existing plant species. Recommendations also consider the long term health of the resource area by proposing to increase biological diversity through the removal of invasive species and the conserving and restoring a native plant community. Regulatory Compliance It is WED’s professional opinion that project activities described in this Land Management Plan serve the interests of the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and the Brewster Wetland By-law. Proposed activities will meet all applicable resource area performance standards, improve conditions for the benefit of extant wildlife, diversify plant species, and promote natural communities. 6 Summer/Fall • Pre-treat invasive, non-native, and aggressive plant species approved for removal with an herbicide appropriate to the species. Treatment methods, depending on species, size, and environmental conditions, will consist of cut and wipe method to individual stems. • Remove pre-treated vegetation by machine where possible and by hand to preserve the existing native vegetation and soil stability. Treated or cut vines will be left in place until desiccated, then removed in order to avoid damaging underlying vegetation. • Begin initial vista management pruning. • Cover managed areas with native grass seed mix specified in Restoration Plan and cover with a biodegradable mulch product, or biodegradable erosion control blankets, where necessary. • Monitor plant response to earlier management treatments and calibrate follow-up treatments accordingly. • Annual monitoring report will be submitted to the Brewster Conservation Commission by Decemebr 1st. General Notes: • Herbicides used are to be applied by knowledgeable, Massachusetts licensed individuals only. • All herbicide applications will avoid non-target native species. THREE YEAR LAND MANAGEMENT TIMELINE Season 1 Season 2 Winter/Spring • After most other deciduous plants have gone dormant, hand-pull small quantities of any persistent target species, or cut and wipe application as necessary. • Annual evaluation of tree health will be conducted by a certified arborist. The Conservation Agent will be consulted in the event of any necessary management. Summer/Fall • Monitor plant response to earlier management treatments and calibrate follow-up treatments accordingly. • To limit re-establishment of invasive plant species within restoration areas, selectively treat re-sprouting invasives and non-native plant species using cut and wipe applications (only if necessary, otherwise hand- pull small quantities). • When invasive plants have been reduced by 85%, commence planting of the areas according to the Restoration Plan and install an automated, temporary, above ground irrigation system to help establish new plants to the growing conditions. • Annual monitoring report will be submitted to the Brewster Conservation Commission by Decemebr 1st. 7 Season 3 Ongoing Maintenance • If land management treatments have been successful, only monitoring and hand removal will be required to keep non-native and invasive species from being reintroduced. Invasive plants generally take a minimum of three to five years of active management to reach a level of successful control. • Invasive plant removal is recommended to be an ongoing part of the life of the Order of Conditions for this project in order to maintain the restored condition of the plant communities on the property. Ongoing invasive plant removal is typically carried out three to five times per year depending on the site conditions and client preference. We ask that this condition be incorporated into the Special Conditions of the Order.

Appropriately timed treatments are based on individual plant life cycles, growing seasons, and levels of infestation. A program of selective herbicide application will be instituted during time periods when the plants will translocate the herbicide most efficiently to destroy root materials. As the carbohydrate transfer is dictated primarily by weather, the management timeline is specified by season only, necessitating field expertise to initiate timely management procedures. Please reference the Three Year Land Management Timeline for specific treatment times. Asiatic Bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) poses a serious threat to native plant communities due to its high reproductive rate, long-range dispersal mechanisms, and the ability to root-sucker. Vines of this plant species also have the ability to aggressively wrap around and grow over other vegetation strangling mature trees. Even entire plant communities can be over-topped and shaded out by the vine’s rapid growth. It is most effectively controlled using a cut-and-wipe method of herbicide application with an ultra-low volume Triclopyr- based herbicide. When the vines of bittersweet are intertwined with native trees they should be treated and left in place until desiccated to avoid damaging the tree. (MIPAG Listed Invasive). English Ivy (Hedera helix) is an aggressive evergreen vine often used as an ornamental groundcover. It has the potential to completely out-compete all low-growing vegetation. English ivy can also grow into trees and cover the trunk, branches, block sunlight, and eventually kill the tree. The tree eventually becomes susceptible to blow over due to its weakened state and the added weight of the vine. Mechanical uprooting followed by treatments of a Triclopyr-based herbicide is the preferred treatment method for this plant. (Not a State-Listed invasive). Green Briar, Cat Briar, and Fox Grape (Similax rotundifolia, glauca) (Vitis spp.) are aggressive native vines that play a functional habitat role, serving as cover, a food source, and nesting sites for some animal species. These species have an aggressive growth rate, allowing them to colonize recently managed areas rapidly and hinder restoration efforts. Selective management of these vines should be part of a maintenance plan to prevent excessive colonization and loss of the targeted native plant community being restored. (Not a State-Listed invasive). Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) is an aggressive perennial vine that thrives in a range of conditions, including full sun and full shade. This invasive species has several advantages over native plants species, including high seed production rates and persistent leaves that allow photosynthesis after surrounding deciduous vegetation becomes dormant. These advantages allow the vine to form dense mats that out- compete native vegetation. An herbicide treatment is the most effective method to control the vine. The persistent leaves can be used to an advantage, allowing for an application of Glyphosphate-based herbicide when other deciduous plants are dormant. (MIPAG Listed Invasive) Multiflora Rose (Rosa multiflora) is a highly adaptable perennial vine or shrub that can grow in full sun or full shade and thrive in a wide variety of habitats, including upland, wetland, and coastal habitats. The plant’s aggressive growth habit forms impenetrable thickets, allowing it to crowd out native vegetation. Birds help disperse the prolific amount of seeds Multiflora rose produces. Mechanically removal is recommended if conditions allow. If soil disturbance must be minimized, a cut and wipe treatment with a Triclopyr-based herbicide should be used. Regular hand pulling of juvenile plants and spot herbicide treatments are also recommended for persistent re-sprouts. (MIPAG Listed Invasive) Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), although a nuisance to people, is a native plant with high wildlife value. The vines form berries in late summer that persist into the winter, providing many songbirds and other wildlife a food source when resources are scarce. Nonetheless Poison ivy can be an aggressive plant of woodlands, wetlands, and disturbed landscapes. Selective management of this species within the areas of invasive plant removal is important so that the ivy does not overwhelm and impede other native plants from establishing. (Not a State-Listed invasive) Shrub Honeysuckle (Lonicera morrowii & bella) poses a major threat to native plant communities. This species aggressively out-competes native shrubs in the edge habitat and woodland understory. Shrub honeysuckle can invade a wide variety of native habitats, with or with no previous disturbance. According to vegetation management guidelines published by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, shrub honeysuckle is suspected of producing allelopathic chemicals that inhibit the growth of other plants. If conditions allow, mechanical removal is the recommended management strategy because this plant has a relatively shallow root system. If soil disturbance must be minimized, use a cut and wipe treatment with a Triclopyr-based herbicide. To stop the reintroduction of honeysuckle, hand- pulling and targeted spot treatments can be used.

Native plants suited for our coastal areas bind sediments with their fibrous roots. Many invasive plants lack fibrous root systems and often have allelopathic chemicals which inhibit the growth of surrounding vegetation, thus creating areas of bare earth which lead to faster rates of erosion, decreased wildlife habitat quality, and increased storm water runoff. The loss of native vegetation to invasive plant species degrades our wetlands and public interests (as stated below) and decreases the diversity of our biological community. Invasive Plants: As defined by the Massachusetts Invasive Plant Advisory Group (MIPAG), invasive plants are non-native species that have spread into native plant systems, causing economic or environmental harm by developing self-sustaining populations and dominating and/or disrupting those native systems. Invasive plant’s biology and physiology equip them with the means to out-compete native plants, disrupting native plant communities and compromising the integrity of that ecosystem. Invasive plant species can alter hydrological patterns, soil chemistry, moisture holding capacity, and can accelerate erosion. Tree: Massachusetts DEP defines tree as woody plants with a dbh of 5 inches or greater and a height of 20 feet or more in their handbook entitled, “Delineating Bordering Vegetated Wetlands Under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act”. DBH: DBH stands for Diameter at Breast Height and is a standard method for measuring the diameter of a tree trunk. A DBH measurement it taken at 4.5 feet above ground using a specially calibrated measuring tape. Coppicing: Coppicing is an accepted silviculture practice which involves the periodic cutting back of woody vegetation to produce stands of shorter trees. Coppicing gives declining trees an opportunity to regenerate biomass (canopy), structure, habitat value, and be a resilient part of a healthy native plant community. References Bryan, Robert R.

Notice of Intent 47 Governor Prence Road Brewster, MA PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION The proposed project located at 47 Governor Prence Road (the Site) in Brewster, MA involves rebuilding and expanding an existing deck, adding a new smaller deck, constructing walkover stairs to access pond, and a vegetation management plan. This application is being submitted in accordance with the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and the Town of Brewster Wetlands Protection By-law. 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION The property located at 47 Governor Prence Road contains a single-family home located on Cobbs Pond. The property is bordered by single-family homes to the north, east, and west, with Cobbs Pond to the south. The wetland resource areas and areas of conservation jurisdiction on the site that are protected under the Wetlands Protection Act and the Town of Brewster Wetland Protection Bylaw include: • Land Underwater • Inland Bank • Bordering Vegetated Wetland The Bordering Vegetated Wetland was delineated primarily by vegetation as the slope up from Cobb's Pond Is very steep. The edge of the Pond Is vegetated with water willows, highbush blueberry, and elderberry. Hydric soils were only found along the base of the slope just above the water’s edge of the pond. 3.0 PROPOSED ACTIVITIES The purpose of this application is to authorize the following activities: Deck Work: The existing single-family home has a deck and bulkhead entrance in the back of the house. The applicant proposes to replace and expand the existing deck on the southern face of the dwelling by 224 square feet (sf). This replacement deck is proposed within the 50-100’ buffer zone to inland bank and BVW. A second smaller deck, 10.83' by 5', is proposed off the southwestern corner of the house and will also be located within the 50- 100’ buffer to inland bank and BVW. This will increase impacts within the 50-100’ buffer by 278 sf. The applicant is relocating the existing bulkhead entrance outside of all buffer zones. The proposed front entrance and walkway is also located outside of all resource areas. Walkover Stairs: The applicant is proposing to construct a 4' wide by 34' long walkover stairway leading down the slope to Cobbs Pond. The stairs will be constructed with wood and will fall entirely within the 0’-50’ buffer zone to inland bank and BVW. As such, a variance request has been Included with this NOI submission. Vegetation Management Plan: Please see attached Land Management Plan with Restoration Planting Plan provided by Wilkinson Ecological Design. The land management plan Includes Invasive species removal, minor vista pruning, and plantings to restore native plant communities. Notice of Intent 47 Governor Prence Road Brewster, MA 4.0 MITIGATION Staked compost silt sock and silt fence will be used as a sediment control and will also act as a limit of work. Following construction, all disturbed areas will be loamed and seeded and returned to original grade and/or planted with mitigation planting (see land management plan). A roll-off container will be used at the site to contain and remove debris.

(BSC) is pleased to submit this Variance Request on behalf of Tony Saccone and Susan Dickstein (the Applicant), for the property located at 47 Governor Prence Road (the Site). The proposed project at the site involves replacing and expanding an existing deck, the installation of a new deck, construction of walkover stairs, and a vegetation management plan. The proposed walkover stairs are located within the 0'-50' buffer to Inland bank and BVW. As such we are requesting a variance to allow for the stairs to be constructed within the 0'-50' buffer zone. We believe that this project meets the criteria described In the Brewster Wetlands Regulations Section 5.01 Variances. The walkover stairs are proposed to allow access from the existing residence down to Cobbs Pond. The proposed stairs will be constructed with wood and will be 5' wide and 30' long for a total area of ±150 sf. The stairs themselves will be 4' wide but will Include 6" frame on either side of the stairs for a total width of 5'. The stairs have been designed to minimize impacts to the resource areas while providing safe access down to Cobbs Pond. The NOI application Includes a land management plan developed by Wilkinson Ecological Design. The land management plan Includes Invasive species removal, minor vista pruning, and native plantings. This land management plan mitigates for the minor Impacts associated with the walkover stairs. As required by the Brewster Wetlands Protection Regulations Section 5.01 Variances, we have Included a discussion of alternatives below. Alternative 1: The proposed scenario. In this scenario we proposed to construct walkover stairs down to Cobbs Pond as shown on the project plans. The stairs will be 5' wide and 30' long for a total of 150 sf. of Impacts to the 0'-50' buffer zone to Inland bank and BVW. The stairs have been situated towards the eastern side of the property because there Is an existing unvegetated dirt path down to the water in this location so Impacts to existing vegetation will be limited. Alternative 2: In this scenario the applicant will not build the access stairs down to Cobbs Pond. The homeowner will not have safe access down to the water at their property. There Is an existing small dirt path down to Cobbs Pond, but It Is very steep and not safe to use. This scenario Is not desirable because of the safety risk. Alternative 3: In this scenario the applicant proposed to build the stairs further to the west towards the middle of the property which would require the stairs to be longer than are currently proposed as the shrub line on the bank is higher up the slope in this area. This scenario was not chosen because it would Increase the Impacts to the buffer zone and require removing more of the established vegetation from the bank. The proposed scenario has the stairs located in an area already void of vegetation, so the proposed scenario reduces Impacts to the existing vegetation. However, locating the stairs further west in the middle of the property would offer a better viewing corridor from the house to the Pond. Regardless, this alternative would have more Impacts, so the applicant has agreed to locate the stairs in the area of the existing dirt path down to the water. 349 Main Street, Route 28, Unit D / West Yarmouth, MA 02673 / 508-778-8919 Also as required by the Brewster Wetlands Protection Regulations Section 5.01 Variances, we have Included a discussion of the resource areas where work Is proposed within 50' and how the project will have no adverse impacts on the Interests of these resource areas as described In the Brewster Wetlands Regulations. 1. The proposed project Involves constructing walkover stairs within 50' of Inland Bank (Section 3.01) to Cobbs Pond. The Brewster Wetlands Regulations state that Inland Banks are Important to wildlife, public or private water supply, to groundwater supply, flood control, storm damage prevention, prevention of pollution, and protection of fisheries. The proposed project will not have an adverse effect on any of the Interests outlined above for Inland Banks. The walkover stairs will have no Impact on the Banks ability to provide wildlife habitat. The stairs are proposed in an area already void of vegetation as a dirt path exists down to the pond. The rest of the slope Is very will vegetated and will remain well vegetated, so this provides sufficient wildlife habitat. Additionally, the land management plan provided with the NOI describes how Invasive vegetation will be removed and native plants will be planted to provide better wildlife habitat than existing conditions. The proposed stairs will have no adverse effect on public or private water supply or on groundwater supply. The stairs will not alter the banks’ ability to help with flood control or storm damage as this area of the bank is already void of vegetation. The proposed stairs will provide additional stabilization in the unvegetated slope. The proposed stairs will have no adverse effects on the prevention of pollution. The proposed land management plan will enhance the Site ability to filter pollutants before they reach Cobbs Pond. The proposed stairs will also have no adverse effects on fisheries. 2. The proposed project Involves constructing walkover stairs within 50' of BVW (3.02 Vegetated Wetlands). The Brewster Wetlands Regulations state that Vegetated Wetlands are Important to wildlife, public or private water supply, to groundwater supply, flood control, storm damage prevention, prevention of pollution, and protection of shellfish. The proposed project will not have an adverse effect on any of the Interests outlined above for Vegetated Wetlands. The walkover stairs will have no Impact on the BVW’s ability to provide wildlife habitat. The stairs are proposed in an area already void of vegetation as a dirt path exists down to the pond; the stairs will not be constructed overtop of BVW. The rest of the slope Is very will vegetated and will remain well vegetated, so this provides sufficient wildlife habitat. Additionally, the land management plan provided with the NOI describes how Invasive vegetation will be removed and native plants will be planted to provide better wildlife habitat than existing conditions. The proposed stairs will have no adverse effect on public or private water supply or on groundwater supply. The stairs will not alter the BVW’s ability to help with flood control or storm damage as no direct impacts to BVW are proposed. The proposed stairs will provide additional stabilization in the unvegetated slope. The proposed stairs will have no adverse effects on the prevention of pollution. The proposed land management plan will enhance the Site ability to filter pollutants before they reach Cobbs Pond. The proposed stairs will also have no adverse effects on shellfish. Therefore, based on the above information, we believe that the proposed project will not have adverse effects on the interests specified in the Bylaw and meets the variance provisions for Part III Inland Wetlands and of the Regulations of the Town of Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaw.

Truly yours, BSC GROUP, INC. Paul Mancuso, WPIT Wetland Scientist LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN 47 Governor Prence Road Brewster, MA May 15, 2023 NCobb’s Pond 100’ Buffer 50’ Buffer BVW 2 INTRODUCTION The property is located off Governor Prence Road and abuts Cobb’s Pond to the south. A Bordering Vegetated Wetland (BVW) runs along the southern edge, adjoining the pond. This Land Management Plan (LMP) accompanies a Notice of Intent (NOI) filing for construction activities and mitigation. The proposed vegetation management focuses on invasive, aggressive and non-native plant removal, minor vista management pruning, and planting to restore native plant communities. Project activities will occur within the BVW and its buffers. AREA DIAGRAM #47 PROJECT GOALS The goals of the project include: 1. Conserving and restoring the existing native plant community in areas that are currently degraded by invasive plant species. These actions will improve the resource area’s ability to filter runoff and contaminants, as well as enhance the quality of habitat available to wildlife. 2. Developing a sustainable, long-term vista management plan that considers plant health and limits ongoing disturbance in resource buffer areas. The numbered photo points and directions correspond to the numbered images on page three. 1 3 2 3 EXISTING CONDITIONS The existing residence, driveway, and surrounding landscape are situated in the middle of the property. Areas of naturalized vegetation line the property boundaries and extend to the edge of Cobb’s Pond. This naturalized vegetation is composed of State-listed invasive, non-native, and native plants. The vegetation includes native trees and shrubs, and is heavily degraded by various State-listed invasive and non-native species. The area has been divided into three color overlays in the Area Diagram on page two, as described below. The orange overlay contains a mix of native, non-native, and State-listed invasive plant species. A mature tree canopy covers the majority of the area, with pitch pine being the dominant tree species. Oak, black cherry, tupelo, and American holly are the secondary native tree species in the area. English oak, a non-native tree species, has begun to colonize the area as well. A number of pruned cherry saplings were observed in the center of the slope. The shrub layer vegetation is dominated by vine honeysuckle, shrub honeysuckle, multiflora rose, and Asiatic bittersweet. Some native bayberry and arrowwood were observed within the thicket of greenbriar vines and State-listed invasives but at very low densities. Very little ground cover vegetation was found likely due to the dense canopy of vines and invasives blocking sunlight from reaching the ground. The red overlay contains a mature canopy of pitch pines, with the understory vegetation dominated by English Ivy. The ivy is very well established and has spread up the trunks of most pitch pines, increasing their risk of windthrow due to the weight of the vines. Shrub honeysuckle and multi-flora rose are mixed in with the English ivy beyond the edge of the tree canopy, where sunlight is stronger. The yellow overlay includes the BVW and toe of slope adjacent to Cobb’s Pond. The dominant vegetation is a thicket of mature native shrubs, including highbush blueberry, elderberry, and water willow throughout the BVW. The vegetation transitions to upland species like arrowwood, bayberry, and serviceberry at higher elevations. Greenbriar is also quite dominant outside of the BVW, as are some of the State-listed invasive species like Asiatic bittersweet and vine honeysuckle. 2 1 3 N RESTORATION PROJECT AREA 13,830 sqft of vegetation management to remove State-listed and non- native plant species and restore a native plant community. Cobb’s Pond view coridoor 100’ Buffer 50’ Buffer BVW #47 4 Vegetation Management Vegetation management will target all invasive, non-native, and aggressive plant species within the project area. For a full listing of the plant species to be managed, refer to the Invasive Plant Management Protocols in the Appendix on pages eight and nine. Invasive plant species can cause profound changes to the environmental conditions of a site, including soil nutrient levels, sun exposure, increased erosion, and the ability to negatively affect resources for wildlife. For a description of the environmental effects of the non-native and invasive plant species proposed for removal, refer to the Appendix. Treatments of invasive, non-native, and aggressive plant species will be performed with selective herbicide applications using best management practices specific to each plant species. Methods of application will include cut and wipe method to treat individual stems as well as low-volume spot application for species such as vine honeysuckle and English ivy or smaller stems of other targeted plant species. Poison ivy is also proposed for management where it may come into contact with people. All herbicide applications will be performed by Massachusetts-licensed applicators. Aggressive native vines such as green briar, grape, and poison ivy are not PROJECT AREA DIAGRAM PROPOSED PROJECT ACTIVITIES The project goals that include conserving and restoring a plant community and developing a sustainable long-term vista management plan will be met through the following proposed activities: 1. Vegetation Management: Manage invasive, non-native, and aggressive plant species within the project area. 2. Vista Management Pruning: Implement a sustainable long-term management plan that considers plant health and limits ongoing disturbance in resource areas. 3. Native Plant Restoration: Seed appropriate native grasses and supplementally plant native shrubs and trees to restore the targeted native plant community. 5 proposed to be treated with herbicide; these aggressive natives are only proposed to be managed by hand pruning to limit their ability to outcompete other native species and hinder restoration efforts by rapidly colonizing recently managed areas. The removal of pre-treated vegetation will include both machine and hand removal. Compact low ground pressure machines will be used to remove root material in areas with a shallow slope and few native plants. Hand removal will be employed on sloped areas surrounding the pond to protect soil stability and existing native vegetation. Invasive vines such as bittersweet, intertwined with viable native species, will be treated and left in place until desiccated, then removed without damaging underlying vegetation. Existing native shrubs within the project area that have poor structure and are degraded from invasive pressure, are proposed for regenerative pruning. This pruning technique is proposed to restore a natural healthy branching structure and will result in increased biomass of the subject plant over several years. After vegetation management is complete, bare soils will be seeded with native grass mix listed on the Restoration Plan and covered with biodegradable mulch or erosion control blankets where necessary. Vista Management Proposed vista management activities are focused on maintaining a view of Cobb’s Pond from the residence. The vista management protocol has been designed to provide a sustainable, long-term pruning strategy that considers the health of existing plants and limits ongoing disturbance in buffer areas. This will include a program of coppicing cherries within the proposed vista corridor. These techniques will preserve native vegetation and allow additional sunlight into the woodland, helping to diversify the woodland structure and plant species composition. Following management, permanent markers will be installed along the edge of the vista management corridor. Refer to the Project Area Diagram on page four or the Restoration Plan for the location of the proposed vista corridor. Coppicing is an accepted silviculture practice that involves periodically cutting back woody vegetation to produce stands of shorter trees. This gives declining trees the opportunity to regenerate their canopies, structure, habitat value, and become a resilient part of a healthy native plant community. The process begins with an initial flush cut of the tree to ground level in the first year of management, which causes it to re-sprout vigorously and produce multiple stems that develop into a shrub-like form. In subsequent years, the healthiest and most vigorous sprouts are selected while remaining ones are pruned away to maintain the shrub’s form. Additionally, the oldest and tallest sprouts are pruned away periodically to maintain the targeted height as well as the tree’s vigor and habitat value. The increased light levels reaching the soil below can also stimulate germination and growth of understory plants. WED has experienced that a coppiced tree with a healthy root system can generate 3-5 feet of new growth each year. Coppiced trees usually surpass their current biomass, grow rapidly, and eventually become a hard mast source for wildlife. Refer the image at the bottom of page seven showing the growth of a cherry following coppicing. Within the vista management corridor, coppicing is proposed for approximately 9-10 cherries. The coppicing of the cherries will be mitigated by the planting of 12 native trees. After the initial flush cut, new leaders will be allowed to regrow to height of 10’. When a leader begins to surpass the specified height, it will be removed, leaving the remaining leaders to continue growing. This coppicing will continue on an annual or biannual basis to maintain the specified height of the vegetation. Native Plant Restoration Restoring and establishing native vegetation in areas of bare soils following invasive plant removal is an important component to restoration success. Establishing native plant communities discourages the re-colonization of invasive and unwanted plants by limiting the resources available to such plants (i.e., sunlight, nutrients, and growing space). After invasive species removal has reached approximately 85% eradication, the project area will be planted with native trees and shrubs such as eastern red cedar, tupelo, bayberry, black chokeberry, arrowwood, and Virginia rose. Refer to the Restoration Plan for a full listing of proposed species. Native plant restoration recommendations are based on a number of environmental factors including soils, topography, solar exposure, salt tolerance, and existing plant species. Recommendations also consider the long term health of the resource area by proposing to increase biological diversity through the removal of invasive species and the conserving and restoring a native plant community. Regulatory Compliance It is WED’s professional opinion that project activities described in this Land Management Plan serve the interests of the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and the Brewster Wetland By-law. Proposed activities will meet all applicable resource area performance standards, improve conditions for the benefit of extant wildlife, diversify plant species, and promote natural communities. 6 Spring • Pre-treat invasive, non-native, and aggressive plant species approved for removal with an herbicide appropriate to the species. Treatment methods, depending on species, size, and environmental conditions, will consist of cut and wipe method to individual stems, and low-volume foliar application only where necessary. • Remove pre-treated vegetation by machine where possible and by hand to preserve the existing native vegetation and soil stability. Treated or cut vines will be left in place until desiccated, then removed in order to avoid damaging underlying vegetation. • Begin initial vista management pruning. • Cover managed areas with native grass seed mix specified in Restoration Plan and cover with a biodegradable mulch product, or biodegradable erosion control blankets, where necessary. Summer/Fall • Monitor plant response to earlier management treatments and calibrate follow-up treatments accordingly. • To limit re-establishment of invasive plant species within restoration areas, selectively treat re- sprouting invasives and non-native plant species using low-volume foliar spot applications or cut and wipe applications (only if necessary, otherwise hand-pull small quantities). General Notes: • Herbicides used are to be applied by knowledgeable, Massachusetts licensed individuals only. • All herbicide applications will avoid non-target native species. THREE YEAR LAND MANAGEMENT TIMELINE Season 1 Season 2 Winter/Spring • After most other deciduous plants have gone dormant, hand-pull small quantities of any persistent target species, or cut and wipe application as necessary. • Annual evaluation of tree health will be conducted by a certified arborist. The Conservation Agent will be consulted in the event of any necessary management. Summer/Fall • Monitor plant response to earlier management treatments and calibrate follow-up treatments accordingly. • To limit re-establishment of invasive plant species within restoration areas, selectively treat re-sprouting invasives and non-native plant species using low- volume foliar spot applications or cut and wipe applications (only if necessary, otherwise hand-pull small quantities). • When invasive plants have been reduced by 85%, commence planting of the areas according to the Restoration Plan and install an automated, temporary, above ground irrigation system to help establish new plants to the growing conditions. 7 Season 3 Ongoing Maintenance • If land management treatments have been successful, only monitoring and hand removal will be required to keep non-native and invasive species from being reintroduced. Invasive plants generally take a minimum of three to five years of active management to reach a level of successful control. • Invasive plant removal is recommended to be an ongoing part of the life of the Order of Conditions for this project in order to maintain the restored condition of the plant communities on the property. Ongoing invasive plant removal is typically carried out three to five times per year depending on the site conditions and client preference. We ask that this condition be incorporated into the Special Conditions of the Order.

Appropriately timed treatments are based on individual plant life cycles, growing seasons, and levels of infestation. A program of selective herbicide application will be instituted during time periods when the plants will translocate the herbicide most efficiently to destroy root materials. As the carbohydrate transfer is dictated primarily by weather, the management timeline is specified by season only, necessitating field expertise to initiate timely management procedures. Please reference the Three Year Land Management Timeline for specific treatment times. Asiatic Bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) poses a serious threat to native plant communities due to its high reproductive rate, long-range dispersal mechanisms, and the ability to root-sucker. Vines of this plant species also have the ability to aggressively wrap around and grow over other vegetation strangling mature trees. Even entire plant communities can be over-topped and shaded out by the vine’s rapid growth. It is most effectively controlled using a cut-and-wipe method of herbicide application with an ultra-low volume Triclopyr- based herbicide. A low-volume foliar spray or a basal bark treatment is also very effective. When the vines of bittersweet are intertwined with native trees they should be treated and left in place until desiccated to avoid damaging the tree. (MIPAG Listed Invasive). English Ivy (Hedera helix) is an aggressive evergreen vine often used as an ornamental groundcover. It has the potential to completely out-compete all low-growing vegetation. English ivy can also grow into trees and cover the trunk, branches, block sunlight, and eventually kill the tree. The tree eventually becomes susceptible to blow over due to its weakened state and the added weight of the vine. Mechanical uprooting followed by treatments of a Triclopyr-based herbicide is the preferred treatment method for this plant. (Not a State-Listed invasive). Green Briar, Cat Briar, and Fox Grape (Similax rotundifolia, glauca) (Vitis spp.) are aggressive native vines that play a functional habitat role, serving as cover, a food source, and nesting sites for some animal species. These species have an aggressive growth rate, allowing them to colonize recently managed areas rapidly and hinder restoration efforts. Selective management of these vines should be part of a maintenance plan to prevent excessive colonization and loss of the targeted native plant community being restored. (Not a State-Listed invasive). Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) is an aggressive perennial vine that thrives in a range of conditions, including full sun and full shade. This invasive species has several advantages over native plants species, including high seed production rates and persistent leaves that allow photosynthesis after surrounding deciduous vegetation becomes dormant. These advantages allow the vine to form dense mats that out- compete native vegetation. An herbicide treatment is the most effective method to control the vine. The persistent leaves can be used to an advantage, allowing for an application of Glyphosphate-based herbicide when other deciduous plants are dormant. (MIPAG Listed Invasive) Multiflora Rose (Rosa multiflora) is a highly adaptable perennial vine or shrub that can grow in full sun or full shade and thrive in a wide variety of habitats, including upland, wetland, and coastal habitats. The plant’s aggressive growth habit forms impenetrable thickets, allowing it to crowd out native vegetation. Birds help disperse the prolific amount of seeds Multiflora rose produces. Mechanically removal is recommended if conditions allow. If soil disturbance must be minimized, a cut and wipe or low-volume foliar treatment with a Triclopyr-based herbicide should be used. Regular hand pulling of juvenile plants and spot herbicide treatments are also recommended for persistent re-sprouts. (MIPAG Listed Invasive) Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), although a nuisance to people, is a native plant with high wildlife value. The vines form berries in late summer that persist into the winter, providing many songbirds and other wildlife a food source when resources are scarce. Nonetheless Poison ivy can be an aggressive plant of woodlands, wetlands, and disturbed landscapes. Selective management of this species within the areas of invasive plant removal is important so that the ivy does not overwhelm and impede other native plants from establishing. (Not a State-Listed invasive) Shrub Honeysuckle (Lonicera morrowii & bella) poses a major threat to native plant communities. This species aggressively out-competes native shrubs in the edge habitat and woodland understory. Shrub honeysuckle can invade a wide variety of native habitats, with or with no previous disturbance. According to vegetation management guidelines published by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, shrub honeysuckle is suspected of producing allelopathic chemicals that inhibit the growth of other plants. If conditions allow, mechanical removal is the recommended management strategy because this plant has a relatively shallow root system. If soil disturbance must be minimized, use a cut and wipe or low-volume foliar treatment with a Triclopyr-based herbicide. To stop the reintroduction of honeysuckle, hand-pulling and targeted spot treatments can be used.

Native plants suited for our coastal areas bind sediments with their fibrous roots. Many invasive plants lack fibrous root systems and often have allelopathic chemicals which inhibit the growth of surrounding vegetation, thus creating areas of bare earth which lead to faster rates of erosion, decreased wildlife habitat quality, and increased storm water runoff. The loss of native vegetation to invasive plant species degrades our wetlands and public interests (as stated below) and decreases the diversity of our biological community. Invasive Plants: As defined by the Massachusetts Invasive Plant Advisory Group (MIPAG), invasive plants are non-native species that have spread into native plant systems, causing economic or environmental harm by developing self-sustaining populations and dominating and/or disrupting those native systems. Invasive plant’s biology and physiology equip them with the means to out-compete native plants, disrupting native plant communities and compromising the integrity of that ecosystem. Invasive plant species can alter hydrological patterns, soil chemistry, moisture holding capacity, and can accelerate erosion. Tree: Massachusetts DEP defines tree as woody plants with a dbh of 5 inches or greater and a height of 20 feet or more in their handbook entitled, “Delineating Bordering Vegetated Wetlands Under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act”. DBH: DBH stands for Diameter at Breast Height and is a standard method for measuring the diameter of a tree trunk. A DBH measurement it taken at 4.5 feet above ground using a specially calibrated measuring tape. Coppicing: Coppicing is an accepted silviculture practice which involves the periodic cutting back of woody vegetation to produce stands of shorter trees. Coppicing gives declining trees an opportunity to regenerate biomass (canopy), structure, habitat value, and be a resilient part of a healthy native plant community. References Bryan, Robert R.

The attached NOI includes a narrative with a description of the project area, wetland resources and proposed work, impacts and mitigation measures. This NOI is filed pursuant to the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (WPA) and the Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaw (the Bylaw). A portion of the Project will require vegetation trimming at the edge of an isolated vegetated wetland that is also an Isolated Land Subject to Flooding as well as its buffer zone established by the Bylaw. Vegetation trimming required to allow for constructing portions of the project will result in temporary alteration of approximately 145 square feet of the IVW/ILSF. There will be no permanent impact to resource area. The Applicant is also seeking approval to conduct maintenance vegetation trimming within approximately 340 square feet of the buffer zone on an annual basis to maintain safety along the corridor. In compliance with the Wetlands Protection Act (WPA) (M.G.L. c. 131, § 40) and the Bylaw, notification to abutters regarding this NOI has been made by certified return receipt mail on this date. A copy of the abutter notification form and certified list of abutters are enclosed as part of the NOI. As required under the WPA, a copy of the NOI package has been filed with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Southeast Regional Office. As a municipal applicant, the Town of Brewster is exempt from the NOI fees under the WPA and Bylaw. We respectfully request that the Commission place this matter on the next available meeting. Should you have any questions concerning this submittal or require additional information, please contact me at 617-607-1019 or dcannata@vhb.com.

This Notice of Intent (NOI) is also filed pursuant to the Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaw Chapter 172 (the Bylaw). Introduction The Brewster Department of Public Works is proposing to reconstruct 2.46 miles of Millstone Road from Route 6A to Long Pond Road (Route 137). Millstone Road is a collector road that runs north/south and is generally lined with residential properties with numerous smaller side roads. Nickerson State Park borders about 800 feet of the roadway north of the Joe Long Road intersection. The Project will reconstruct the roadway for the entire length. The existing roadway surface will be widened to create consistent 11-foot travel lanes with 1.5-foot shoulders. A sidewalk will be constructed on the west side for the first 5,000 feet south of Route 6A, then switch to the east side for the remainder of the Project to Long Pond Road. The existing drainage system will also be reconstructed with new deep sump and hooded catch basins and approximately 50 subsurface infiltration locations. Site Description The Project area is a wooded area developed with single family homes. The Project site is a meandering roadway that serves as a collector for numerous other side roads. Millstone Road connects Route 6A in the north with Long Pond Road (Route 137) in the south. The existing roadway layout is 40 to 50 feet wide and the proposed roadway work will be predominately completed within the existing layout. The existing roadway supports 20 feet of pavement with two lanes and 1-foot shoulders. No sidewalks are currently present along the entire length. The Project alignment is generally flat, but with some rolling hills. This portion of Cape Cod was created by a glacial moraine and supports glacial erratics, kettle hole ponds, with sandy and gravely Upland soils 1, including Carver coarse sand, Plymouth loamy coarse sand, and Plymouth-Barnstable-Nantucket complex hilly, very bouldery. 1 USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, Web Soil Survey, Barnstable County, Massachusetts. Accessed 11/10/2020 2 Attachment A: Notice of Intent Narrative A single Isolated wetland system was identified on the east side of the roadway south of the Cape Cod Rail Trail crossing. The wetland area is very close to the existing roadway edge and improvements to Millstone Road will be immediately adjacent to the wetland boundary, but the wetland area will not be directly altered. This isolated wetland area is considered to be an Isolated Land Subject to Flooding, subject to jurisdiction of the WPA. The wetland resource area will be protected from impacts during construction through the implementation of an erosion and sedimentation control program. This program includes provisions to minimize areas of disturbance through phasing and sequencing, limit erosion through stabilization, and prevent sediment from leaving the site by installing structural controls. Runoff generated from the project will be collected and treated in accordance with design guidelines 2 developed by Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and standards contained in the WPA Regulations. According to the latest information from the Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP), portions of the Project limits are located directly adjacent to areas mapped as Priority Habitat of Rare Species and estimated Habitat of Rare (PH 460/ EH 402)3 Review of the MassGIS database and other sources indicates no other constraints including certified vernal pools, floodplain 4, Outstanding Resource Waters5, or Areas of Critical Environmental Concern. However, review of the Project limits indicates that one Vernal pool is present (see Wetland 1). Wetland resource areas on/near the site are described below. Wetland Resource Areas The wetland adjacent to the Project area was delineated on April 11, 2018 by environmental scientists with Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. in accordance with methods developed by the DEP 6 and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 7. This delineation was reevaluated and confirmed on April 12, 2023. The following sections of this narrative describe the wetland and identify resource area that is regulated under the WPA and the Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaws (Chapter 172). Wetlands on/adjacent to the property are summarized in the table below and are described in more detail in the following sections of this attachment. 2 DEP, 2008.

Wetland 1 Wetland 1 is an isolated shrub swamp in a depression on the east side of Millstone Road, south of the Cape Cod Rail Trail crossing. Shrub vegetation growth within the wetland is dense, with a few trees. The depression appears to be seasonally flooded and was flooded when delineated in April, with standing water approximately one foot deep. The wetland may receive runoff from Millstone Road, although there is no street drainage collection system in the vicinity or evidence of overflow erosion from the road to the wetland. The wetland hydrology appears to be primarily due to rise of seasonal high groundwater. Vegetation within the wetland is primarily shrubs dominated by winterberry (Ilex verticillata), northern arrow-wood (Viburnum dentatum), Tartarian honeysuckle (Lonicera tatarica), and common greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia). Ground cover was not evident due to flooding. Soils within the wetland were likewise not investigated due to flooding. The wetland characteristics were not recorded on a Massachusetts Field Data Form also due to the flooding. This isolated wetland is not a certified vernal pool and has not been identified as a potential vernal pool (PVP)8. However, a survey of the wetland by a VHB ecologist on April 12, 2023, indicated that vernal pool species were present. Obligate vernal pool indicators included approximately 22 spotted salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) egg masses observed at the northern and southern ends of the pool, as well as at the southern edge of the interior opening. Facultative vernal pool species noted included log-cabin caddisfly larva, fingernail clams, crawling water beetles, aquatic oligochaete worms, and amphibious snails. No fish were observed during the survey. A summary of the Vernal Pool survey is provide in Attachment D. As an isolated wetland, this is subject to the jurisdiction of the WPA as an Isolated Land Subject to Flooding (310 CMR 10.57(2)(b) and is subject to the regulation pursuant to the Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaw (Chapter 172) as a vegetated wetland. Buffer Zone The Bylaw establishes a 100-foot buffer zone from the limits of vegetated wetlands as described above. The Bylaw also establishes a 50-foot boundary from vegetated wetlands, within which any work requires a Variance pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Bylaw regulations. The Project will unavoidably require work within the 100-foot Buffer 8 MassGIS NHESP vernal pool datalayer. 4 Attachment A: Notice of Intent Narrative Zone and the 50-foot setback from Wetland 1. Because Wetland 1 is considered ILSF, it does not support a 100-foot buffer zone under the WPA. Work Description The Project will reconstruct Millstone Road for its entire length. The existing roadway surface will be widened to create consistent 11-foot travel lanes with 1.5-foot shoulders. A sidewalk will be constructed on the west side for the first 5,000 feet south of Route 6A, then switch to the east side for the remainder of the Project to Long Pond Road. Stormwater management improvements will include new deep sump and hooded catch basins and approximately 50 subsurface infiltration locations throughout the Projects length. Specific construction tasks, roughly in sequence will include: • Clearing and grubbing the work area; • Install erosion controls; • Relocate utility poles and overhead utilities; • Full depth pavement along edges where widened; • Install catch basins and infiltration leaching basins & galleys; • Reconstruct driveway aprons; • Mill and overlay the road; • HMA Curb or berm; • 5-foot HMA sidewalk; • Loam and seed; and • Striping and signing. These construction activities will occur adjacent to Wetland 1 and within 50 feet of the wetland boundary. A request for a Variance for work in the 50-foot setback is described below. This work fully complies with all applicable performance standards as demonstrated in the Regulatory Compliance section of this Narrative. Work in Isolated Land Subject to Flooding (310 CMR 10.57(2)(b) Wetland 1 is an isolated wetland within a depression that seasonally supports standing water. Although isolated, Wetland 1 is presumed to be an Isolated Land Subject to Flooding subject to WPA jurisdiction. Construction activities will be close to the boundary of Wetland 1 but will not result in any discharge of fill to the wetland. Vegetation trimming will be required along the roadside edge of the Wetland to allow equipment to operate safely and will result in a temporary alteration of approximately 145 square feet of ILSF. Construction activities will widen the roadway towards the wetland by about 2.5 feet including full depth paving, and a granite curb. Outside the curb, loam and seed will be placed to restore any area disturbed by the construction. During construction, an erosion 5 Attachment A: Notice of Intent Narrative control barrier of compost filter tubes will be installed just outside of the limit of work and in a portion of the work area will be coincident with the wetland boundary. Work in Buffer Zone Work in the buffer zone will include installing erosion controls, vegetation trimming, clearing and grubbing, relocating a utility pole, grading, full depth pavement, mill and overlay of the existing road surface, new HMA berm and curb, a new 5-foot sidewalk will be constructed on the west side of the roadway away from the wetland, Three new deep sump and hooded catch basins, with piping to two new infiltration galleys outside of the buffer zone. No new stormwater discharges are proposed in the buffer zone or anywhere in the Project limits. The Applicant is also seeking approval to conduct maintenance vegetation trimming within approximately 340 square feet of the buffer zone on an annual basis to maintain safety along the corridor. Work in Locally-Established 50-foot Setback Work in the 50-foot setback will be similar to that described for the 100-foot buffer zone. Work will include Installing erosion controls, vegetation clearing and grubbing, grading, full depth pavement, mill and overlay of the existing road surface, new granite curbing, a new 5-foot sidewalk will be constructed on the west side of the roadway away from the wetland, Two new deep sump and hooded catch basins, with piping to new infiltration galleys located outside both the 100-foot buffer and 50-foot setback. The existing road crosses through the 50-foot setback and cannot be relocated out of the setback. Existing residential development on both sides of the roadway do not allow realignment of the road. The road layout was established in 1965 and predates the Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaw. Mitigation Measures A suite of mitigation measures is proposed to prevent short- and long-term impacts to wetland resource areas. Mitigation measures proposed for this project include the following: Erosion and Sediment Control An erosion and sedimentation control program will be implemented to minimize temporary impacts to wetland resource areas during the construction phase of the 6 Attachment A: Notice of Intent Narrative project. The program incorporates Best Management Practices (BMPs) specified in guidelines developed by the DEP 9 and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)10. Proper implementation of the erosion and sedimentation control program will: › minimize exposed soil areas through sequencing and temporary stabilization; › place structures to manage stormwater runoff and erosion; and › establish a permanent vegetative cover or other forms of stabilization as soon as practicable. The following sections describe the controls that will be used and practices that will be followed during construction. These practices comply with criteria contained in the NPDES General Permit for Discharges from Large and Small Construction Activities issued by the EPA. Non-Structural Practices Non-structural practices to be used during construction include temporary stabilization, temporary seeding, permanent seeding, pavement sweeping and dust control. These practices will be initiated as soon as practicable in appropriate areas at the site. Temporary Stabilization Any areas of exposed soil or stockpiles that will remain inactive for more than 14 days will be covered with a layer of straw mulch applied at a rate of 90 pounds per 1,000 square feet. The mulch will be anchored with a tacking coat (non-tar) applied by a hydroseeded. Steeper slopes (greater than 10 percent) will be covered with a bonded fiber matrix (EcoAegis® or similar) according to the recommendations provided by the manufacturer. Temporary Seeding If conditions allow, a temporary vegetative cover will be established on areas of exposed soils (including stockpiles) that remain unstabilized for a period of more than 60 days. The seeded surfaces will be covered with a layer of straw mulch or bonded fiber matrix as described above. The seed mix shall include a blend of rapid germinating grasses that are indigenous to southeastern Massachusetts. Permanent Seeding Upon completion of final grading, any areas not covered by pavement, other forms of stabilization, or other methods of landscaping will be seeded with a good quality grass seed mix suitable for use in a residential area, where regular roadside grass maintenance 9 DEP, 1997. Massachusetts Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Urban and Suburban Areas: A Guide for Planners, Designers, and Municipal Officials. 10 EPA, 2007. Interim Developing Your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan: A Guide for Construction Sites. Office of Water. Report EPA 833-R-060-04. 7 Attachment A: Notice of Intent Narrative is typical. This seed mix includes bluegrass, ryegrass and fescue grass. The mix will be applied at a rate of 90 pounds per acre or per manufacturer’s recommendation and will be covered with mulch or bonded fiber matrix as described above. Pavement Sweeping Paved portions of the roadway will be swept as needed during construction. The sweeping program will remove sediment and other contaminants directly from paved surfaces before their release into stormwater runoff. Pavement sweeping has been demonstrated to be an effective initial treatment for reducing pollutant loading into stormwater. A street sweeper shall be kept at the site or at a nearby location to facilitate this practice. Once construction has been completed, sweeping at the project site will occur as required under the Operation and Maintenance Plan. Dust Control The erosion and sediment control program includes provisions to minimize the generation of dust during dry and windy conditions. When necessary, larger areas of exposed soil will be wetted to prevent wind borne transport of fine-grained sediment. Enough water shall be applied to wet the upper 0.5 inches of soil. The water will be applied as a fine spray to prevent erosion. A water truck will be kept on the property (or at a nearby location) to facilitate this practice. Structural Practices Structural erosion and sedimentation controls to be used on the site include barriers, stabilized construction exits, temporary sediment basins, temporary diversion swales, temporary check dams, catch basin inlet protection and dewatering filters. Erosion Control Barriers In the vicinity of Wetland 1 and prior to any ground disturbance, an approved erosion control barrier will be installed at the downgradient limit of work. As construction progresses, additional barriers will be installed around the base of stockpiles and other erosion prone areas. The barriers will be entrenched into the substrate to prevent underflow. If sediment has accumulated to a depth which impairs proper functioning of the barrier, it will be removed by hand or by machinery operating upslope of the barriers. This material will be either reused at the Site or disposed of at a suitable offsite location. Any damaged sections of the barrier will be repaired or replaced immediately upon discovery. Catch Basin Inlet Protection The inlets of existing and proposed catch basins will be protected from sediment inflow during the work period by surrounding them with a barrier of staked straw bales or by 8 Attachment A: Notice of Intent Narrative installing Silt Sacks®. If straw bales are used, a layer of non-woven filter fabric shall be placed beneath the grate of each basin. If sediment has collected behind the barrier or in the Silt Sack® to a point where it impairs proper functioning, it will be removed and will be either reused onsite or disposed of at a suitable offsite location. Dewatering Filters If necessary, sediment laden water that collects in trenches or excavated areas will be pumped into straw bale basins or filter bags. The basins will consist of a ring of staked straw bales overlain by non-woven geotextile filter fabric and crushed stone. Discharge water will be pumped into the basin and allowed to drain through the fabric onto relatively flat stabilized surfaces. Dewatering filter bags may be used in place of straw bale basins. The bags will be placed on relatively flat terrain, free of brush and stumps, to avoid ruptures and punctures. A maximum of one six-inch discharge hose will be allowed per filter bag. To help prevent punctures, geotextile fabric will be placed beneath the filter bag when used in wooded locations. Unattended filter bags will be encircled with a straw bale and silt fence barrier. All dewatering structures will be placed as far away from wetland resources as possible. Filter bags used during construction will be bundled and removed for proper disposal. Mitigation for Temporary Impact to ILSF/Vegetated Wetland As described above, the Project will require unavoidable impact to Wetland 1 in order to conduct vegetation trimming to allow for construction of the Project. Following construction, areas of disturbance within Wetland 1 will be restored using an approved native wetland seed mix. Stormwater Management Runoff generated from impervious surfaces will be collected and managed in accordance with the DEP policy. A stormwater management system will be constructed that includes measures to provide groundwater recharge, attenuate peak flows and provides water quality treatment. Full details on the system are included in the accompanying Stormwater Management Memorandum (Attachment C). Compliance 9 Attachment A: Notice of Intent Narrative with the 10 stormwater management standards cited in Section 310 CMR 10.05(6)(k) of the WPA Regulations is evaluated in the attached memorandum. The Project will also require a stormwater permit for the proposed work. An application for the stormwater permit will be submitted and administered by the Town of Brewster Planning Board per Chapter 272. Regulatory Compliance As demonstrated below, work in ILSF and the locally regulated 50-foot setback fully comply with applicable performance standards contained of the WPA regulations and Bylaw regulations. Work in Resource Areas As demonstrated below, work proposed within and adjacent to the WPA regulated Isolated Land Subject to Flooding (ILSF) and locally regulated isolated vegetated wetland complies with the requirements contained in the WPA regulations 310 CMR 10.57 and 3.03(3) of the Bylaw regulations. As stated above, the work will not result in a discharge of fill within the designated ILSF/vegetated wetland identified as Wetland 1. However, a small area of 145 square feet of wetland 1 will be temporarily altered to allow for vegetation trimming required for constructing the Project. The Project will not result in the loss of any isolated flood storage volume or vegetated wetland habitat provided by Wetland 1. Furthermore, the proposed stormwater management system is designed to infiltrate the entire volume of runoff so no stormwater volume will be introduced to Wetland 1 potentially reducing flood water storage volume from other sources. Work in Buffer Zone As identified in 310 CMR 10.53(1) of the WPA regulations, “the issuing authority should consider the characteristics of the buffer zone, such as the presence of steep slopes, that may increase the potential for adverse impacts on resource areas. Conditions may include limitations on the scope and location of work in the buffer zone as necessary to avoid alteration of resource areas. The issuing authority may require erosion and sedimentation controls during construction, a clear limit of work, and the preservation of natural vegetation adjacent to the resource area and/or other measures commensurate with the scope and location of the work within the buffer zone to protect the interests of the Act.” The proposed project has been designed to address these requirements. As identified in the Mitigation Measures section of this attachment, an erosion and sedimentation control program will be implemented to prevent adverse impacts during construction. Also, as noted above the Project does not require work with WPA buffer zone, but is within limits of buffer zone established by the Bylaw. 10 Attachment A: Notice of Intent Narrative Work in the 50-foot Setback Variance Request Work will be conducted within the 50-foot setback to Wetland 1 which cannot be avoided. In accordance with Section 5.01 of the Bylaw regulations, the Applicant requests a variance for work within 50 feet of a vegetated wetland. A variance may be granted only for the following reasons and upon the following conditions: a) 1) mitigating measures are proposed that will allow the project to be conditioned so that it contributes to the protection of the resource values identified in the Wetlands Bylaw; and 2) the Conservation Commission finds no reasonable alternative for such a project within the proposed site; and 3) there will be no adverse impact from the proposed project; or b) that the project is necessary to accommodate an overriding public interest or that it is necessary to avoid a decision that so restricts the use of property that it constitutes an unconstitutional taking without compensation. The proposed Project incorporates measures to protect resource area values. During construction erosion control measures will be installed between the wetland area and the work area to keep construction related impacts out of the wetland. Following construction, the loam and seed placed on the slope of the roadway will vegetatively stabilize the slope and prevent future erosion. A new vertical granite curb and drainage system will prevent uncontrolled stormwater runoff from the roadway from entering the wetland. Work associated with the Project will not directly alter the resource area or reduce the value of the vegetated wetland. Furthermore, no filling in the resource area will reduce the flood storage value provided by the IVW/ILSF. The Project consists of improvements to public infrastructure and there are no reasonable alternatives. The roadway has existing since at least 1965 in its current location and the adjacent land area is well developed with residential properties. The proposed improvements will occur within the existing roadway layout except for minor driveway aprons to ensure the existing driveways match grade with the new roadway surface. Improvements to the road must be in the existing location since to avoid work within 50 feet of Wetland 1 would require realignment of the roadway and this is not an option without significant impact to adjacent private residential properties. The only other alternative would be no action that would not make any improvements to the roadway. No action would not provide consistent lane widths, widened shoulders, a sidewalk or stormwater quality and quantity improvements and was not selected as the preferred alternative. Environmental benefits of the Project include extensive new stormwater management facilities to collect and manage runoff. Deep sump and hooded catch basins and infiltration galleys will collect, treat and infiltrate runoff. 11 Attachment A: Notice of Intent Narrative Finally, the Project represents an overriding public interest to create a safe and well- designed roadway system for Brewster. The improvements to the road will create consistent lane widths of 11 feet with 1.5-foot shoulders that comply with MassDOT Highway Division design standards for a roadway of this nature. The addition of the new sidewalk will provide safe pedestrian accommodation to prevent conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles. And as noted, the new stormwater management system will help to removed roadway runoff from the roadway surface quickly and prevent puddling that could cause loss of control of a moving vehicle during storm events. The Applicant believes that the proposed work will have no adverse effect on the following interests in accordance with the presumptions of significance set forth in the regulations for each area subject to protection under the Brewster Wetlands Protection By-law: • Public Water Supply No Zone I or II are in the vicinity of the Wetland 1 at the Project site. • Private Water Supply It is unknown if any private wells are in the vicinity of the Project, however, the Project will not have an effect on groundwater or impact any wells outside of the roadway layout. • Ground Water and Ground Water Quality A new stormwater management system includes approximately 50 subsurface infiltration locations to infiltrate collected stormwater after treatment by deep sump and hooded catch basins. • Water Quality in the Numerous Ponds of the Town There are no ponds near the Project site. • Flood Control There will be no impact to flood control. The existing ILSF (Wetland 1) will not be filled. • Erosion and Sedimentation Control During construction erosion controls will be installed between the work area and Wetland 1. Restoration of the area will include loam and seed for long term vegetative stabilization. • Storm Damage Prevention N/A • Prevention of Water Pollution The Project includes a new stormwater management system to collect and treat stormwater. Currently there are sporadic stormwater management systems on Millstone Road that are inadequate as it relates to water quality treatment and quantity control. • Fisheries N/A • Shellfish 12 Attachment A: Notice of Intent Narrative N/A • Wildlife and Wildlife Habitat The Project will not alter existing wildlife use or available wildlife habitat. • Aesthetics The proposed work will result in removal of a number of roadside trees within the road layout. This will change the look of the roadway corridor but should have a minor impact on aesthetics. The Town is committed to working with residents to replace vegetation impacted by the Project to the maximum extent practicable. • Historic Values N/A Therefore, VHB believes the Applicant has shown clearly and convincingly that the proposed work and its natural and consequential effects will have no adverse effect upon any of the interests specified in the By-law, and meets the variance provisions for Part III, Inland Wetlands of the Regulations of the Town of Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaw. Summary The Project consists of improvements to Millstone Road to enhance vehicle safety, improve stormwater management and provide pedestrian accommodations. The Project is an important public safety improvement for Millstone Road. There are no alternatives for improvements to Millstone Road other than no action which would result in no improvements. The proposed work will avoid discharge of fill to Wetland 1 regulated as ILSF under the WPA and a vegetated wetland pursuant to the Bylaw. Temporary alteration of 145 square feet will occur. The Applicant is also seeking approval to conduct maintenance vegetation trimming within approximately 340 square feet of the buffer zone on an annual basis to maintain safety along the corridor. Work is proposed within the 100-foot buffer zone and 50-foot setback which cannot be avoided since the existing road is located in both the buffer zone and setback to Wetland 1. A request for a variance to allow work within 50 feet of Wetland 1 has been requested pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Bylaw regulations. The applicant respectfully requests that the Brewster Conservation Commission find these measures adequately protective of the interests identified in the WPA and the Bylaw and issue an Order of Conditions approving the work described in this NOI and shown on the accompanying plans.

Project Description The applicant, Town of Brewster Department of Public Works (DPW), is proposing roadway improvements and new sidewalks for Millstone Road (the Project) from the intersection with Main Street (Route 6A) to the intersection with Long Pond Road (Route 137) in Brewster, MA (Figure 1). The Project also proposes approximately 50 leaching galley & basin systems along the roadway to treat stormwater runoff. A portion of the Project Area is within the 100-foot buffer zone to an Isolated Vegetated Wetland, which is subject to the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Wetland Protections Act and within the 50-foot No Disturb Zone, which is subject to the jurisdiction of the local wetland bylaw. Additionally, a portion of the Project Area is adjacent to a Natural Heritage Endangered Species Program Priority Habitat MassGIS polygon, and within Zone II wellhead protection areas, which is considered a critical area per 310 CMR 10.04. The Zone II wellhead protection areas are associated with the Brewster Water Department water supply wells. Under the Stormwater Management Standards, the Project is considered a redevelopment project because it involves maintenance and improvement of an existing roadway, including widening less than a single lane, improving existing drainage systems and repaving. The Project has been designed to meet the Stormwater Management Standards to the maximum extent practicable and to improve upon existing conditions. The Project will also require a stormwater permit for the proposed work. An application for the stormwater permit will be submitted and administered by the Town of Brewster Planning Board per Chapter 272. Site Description Watershed The Project Area lies within the Cape Cod watershed. The Cape Cod watershed is covered by a TMDL for pathogens.1 The TMDL implementation plan for stormwater management recommends starting with non-structural best management practices (BMPs), and then using structural BMPs if the non-structural BMPs are not sufficient to address 1 Massachusetts DEP. 2009. “Final Pathogen TMDL for the Cape Cod Watershed.” Ref: 14170.00 August 24, 2023 Page 2 \\vhb\gbl\proj\Wat-TE\14170.00 Millstone Rd Improv\docs\memos\Stormwater\14170.00 - Stormwater Memo.docx water quality. The TMDL implementation plan also references the six minimum control measures required under the MS4 permit. The Project is not located in an area designated as an Outstanding Resource Water (ORW).2 Land Use Land uses adjacent to the Project Area are primarily forest and residential.3 There are no known land uses with higher potential pollutant loads (LUHPPLs) in or with drainage areas directly tributary to the Project Area. Land Cover Land cover within the Project Area consists primarily of asphalt roadway. Existing pervious cover within the Project Area is predominantly grass adjacent to the roadway. Utilities Subsurface utilities along the Project Area include water and gas. Above-ground utilities include utility poles, overhead wires, signals, electrical structures, and hydrants. Topography The Project Area has multiple low points along its existing roadway alignment, ranging in elevation from approximately 44 to 121 (NAVD 88). Slopes along the project corridor range between 0.0% and 6.05%. Soils The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) soil survey4 has mapped the surface soils within the Project as predominantly Carver coarse sand (HSG A), Plymouth loamy coarse sand (HSG A), and Barnstable-Plymouth- Nantucket complex (HSG A). A map of existing NRCS Soil Survey in the Project Area is included in Appendix B. Hazardous Materials Based on VHB’s preliminary screening of the MassDEP database, one (1) state-listed site with documented releases of oil and/or hazardous materials (OHM) is present within a 500-foot radius of the Project. This site does not have the potential to impact the Project based on proximity to the Project area and/or current regulatory status. Should OHM be encountered during project excavations that requires management or export, it must be handled under appropriate regulatory submittal (such as a Utility Related Abatement Measure, Release Abatement Measure, or Immediate Response Action) and accompanied by appropriate documentation such as Material Shipping Records (MSRs), Bills of Lading (BOLs), or manifests. No excavation associated with the proposed closed drainage and stormwater infrastructure is proposed within the limits of any open disposal site boundaries. 2 Massachusetts DEP, 2013. 314 CMR 4.00 Massachusetts Surface Water Quality Standards. 3 MassMapper Land Use 2005. https://maps.massgis.digital.mass.gov/MassMapper/MassMapper.html.

The cross slope of Millstone Road varies, with some sections crowned and some sloping to one side. The outer edges of Millstone Road are either uncurbed or feature bituminous berm with intermittently spaced catch basins that intercept flow that is unable to sheet off the roadway. The existing structural stormwater treatment BMPs within the Project Area include leaching basin systems. Proposed Drainage Conditions Land Cover The Project proposes to increase impervious cover by approximately 3.0 acres. Proposed impervious cover will be comprised of asphalt roadway and sidewalks. The Project proposes tree removal along Millstone Road to accommodate roadway widening and new sidewalks, which provide a safety improvement over existing conditions. Structural BMPs The Project proposes to install approximately 50 leaching galley & basin systems to supplement the proposed closed- drainage system consisting of catch basins, gutter inlets, and manholes. The majority of existing catch basins and drainage manholes will be retained or remodeled and incorporated into the proposed drainage system. Erosion and Sediment Control An erosion and sedimentation control program will be implemented to minimize temporary impacts to wetland resource areas prior to and during the construction phase of the Project. The program incorporates BMPs specified in guidelines developed by the DEP5 and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)6. Non-structural practices to be used during construction include permanent seeding and pavement sweeping. These practices will be initiated as soon as practicable during construction. Structural erosion and sedimentation controls include erosion control barriers and catch basin inlet protection.

The Project has been designed to meet the Stormwater Management Standards to the maximum extent practicable, and to improve upon existing conditions. Standard 1: No New Untreated Discharges or Erosion to Wetlands The Project has been designed to comply with Standard 1. The Project does not propose any discharge to wetlands or receiving waters. Under existing conditions, stormwater from the Project Area sheet flows off the roadway without pretreatment or flows into existing intermittent catch basins and leaching structures. The proposed drainage systems for the Project will reroute sheet flow into additional catch basins and provide pretreatment via a network of additional offline leaching basins and galleys. One isolated wetland resource area is located within the Project vicinity, east of station 211+50. Sheet flow from the roadway in this area will be directed to catch basins on both sides of the roadway, south and north of the wetland boundary, and conveyed through approximately 390 feet of 12” pipe trunkline to a leaching galley on the western side of the road for infiltration. The leaching galley system is located approximately 267 feet from the isolated wetland. No discharge to the isolated wetland resource area is proposed. Standard 2: Peak Rate Attenuation The Project has been designed to comply to the maximum extent practicable with Standard 2. The Project proposes to increase impervious cover by approximately 3.0 acres. This increase in impervious area is to accommodate roadway widening and new sidewalks, which provide a safety improvement over existing conditions. The Project is a redevelopment project and does not propose discharges to wetlands or receiving waters and therefore peak rate calculations are not included. Standard 3: Stormwater Recharge The Project has been designed to comply with Standard 3. Ref: 14170.00 August 24, 2023 Page 5 \\vhb\gbl\proj\Wat-TE\14170.00 Millstone Rd Improv\docs\memos\Stormwater\14170.00 - Stormwater Memo.docx Groundwater recharge of stormwater runoff is provided by leaching basins and leaching galleys. The required water quality volume and proposed water quality volume are provided in Table 1. Table 1: Required and Provided Groundwater Recharge Volumes Proposed Impervious Area (HSG A) (acres) Required Recharge Volume (cf) Provided Recharge Volume (cf) 3.0 6,447 30,254 Supporting calculations for required and provided recharge volumes are included in Appendix C. Standard 4: Water Quality The Project has been designed to comply with Standard 4 to the maximum extent practicable. The Project Area, located within the Cape Cod Watershed, is covered by a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for pathogens. The TMDL does not reference stormwater as a significant source of pathogens to the waterbodies and does not require mitigation beyond the six minimum control measures (MCMs) as covered under the Town and MassDOT MS4 stormwater management programs. Under existing conditions, some runoff from the Project Area sheet flows off of the roadway without pretreatment and some is collected by existing intermittent catch basins, the majority of which will be retained or remodeled. The Massachusetts Stormwater Standards require a TSS reduction of 80%. As indicated in the TSS Removal Calculation Worksheets included in Appendix C, the weighted average TSS load reduction across the Project Area is 80%, which complies with this requirement. Computations and supporting information, including the Long-Term Pollution Prevention Plan, are provided in Appendix D. Table 2 below summarizes the required and provided Water Quality Volumes. Ref: 14170.00 August 24, 2023 Page 6 \\vhb\gbl\proj\Wat-TE\14170.00 Millstone Rd Improv\docs\memos\Stormwater\14170.00 - Stormwater Memo.docx Table 2: Required and Provided Water Quality Volume Proposed Impervious Area Required Water Quality Volume (cf) Provided Water Quality Volume (cf) 9.40 34,122 30,254 Standard 5: Land Uses with Higher Potential Pollutant Loads (LUHPPLs) There are no known land uses with higher potential pollutant loads (LUHPPLs) in or with drainage areas directly tributary to the Project Area. The Project complies with Standard 5. Standard 6: Critical Areas The Project is located within a Zone II, shown in Figure 2. The Project has been designed to comply with Standard 6 to the maximum extent practicable. Runoff from the Project’s proposed impervious cover will be treated by either a subsurface leaching basin or leaching galley, both of which provide 80% TSS removal. Since this project is located within a critical area, 44% TSS removal must be removed prior to discharge into the infiltration structure, in this case a leaching basin/galley. Deep-sump catch basins provide 25% pretreatment throughout the project, but due to limited right-of-way, proposing additional pretreatment is not practicable. The project is located within a Zone II and within an area with infiltration rates greater than 2.4 inches/hour, both of which require that a 1” Water Quality Volume be treated. This Project complies with that requirement to the maximum extent practicable, as shown in Figure 2. Standard 7: Redevelopments and Other Projects Subject to the Standards only to the Maximum Extent Practicable The Project is considered a redevelopment and has been designed to comply with the Stormwater Management Standards to the maximum extent practicable. The project complies with Standards 1, 3, 5, 8, 9, and 10. The Project complies with Standards 2, 4 and the pretreatment and structural BMP requirements of Standard 6 to the maximum extent practicable.

As required under this permit, a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be developed and submitted by the contractor before land disturbance begins. The project will include an erosion and sedimentation control program to minimize temporary impacts to wetland resource areas prior to and during the construction phase of the Project. Non-structural practices to be used during construction include permanent seeding and pavement sweeping. These practices will be initiated as soon as practicable during construction. Structural erosion and sedimentation controls include erosion control barriers and catch basin inlet protection. Standard 9: Operation and Maintenance Plan In compliance with Standard 9, a Post-Construction Stormwater Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Plan has been developed for the Project. The O&M Plan is included in Appendix D as part of the Long-Term Pollution Prevention Plan. Standard 10: Prohibition of Illicit Discharges The Project Area does not have any known illicit connections. Any illicit connections to sanitary sewer or storm drainage structures found in the project limit of work will be removed or incorporated into the project. The Long-Term Pollution Prevention Plan, provided in Appendix D, includes measures to prevent illicit discharges.

Introduction Important: When filling out forms on the computer, use only the tab key to move your cursor - do not use the return key. A Stormwater Report must be submitted with the Notice of Intent permit application to document compliance with the Stormwater Management Standards. The following checklist is NOT a substitute for the Stormwater Report (which should provide more substantive and detailed information) but is offered here as a tool to help the applicant organize their Stormwater Management documentation for their Report and for the reviewer to assess this information in a consistent format. As noted in the Checklist, the Stormwater Report must contain the engineering computations and supporting information set forth in Volume 3 of the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook. The Stormwater Report must be prepared and certified by a Registered Professional Engineer (RPE) licensed in the Commonwealth. The Stormwater Report must include: The Stormwater Checklist completed and stamped by a Registered Professional Engineer (see page 2) that certifies that the Stormwater Report contains all required submittals.1 This Checklist is to be used as the cover for the completed Stormwater Report. Applicant/Project Name Project Address Name of Firm and Registered Professional Engineer that prepared the Report Long-Term Pollution Prevention Plan required by Standards 4-6 Construction Period Pollution Prevention and Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan required by Standard 82 Operation and Maintenance Plan required by Standard 9 In addition to all plans and supporting information, the Stormwater Report must include a brief narrative describing stormwater management practices, including environmentally sensitive site design and LID techniques, along with a diagram depicting runoff through the proposed BMP treatment train. Plans are required to show existing and proposed conditions, identify all wetland resource areas, NRCS soil types, critical areas, Land Uses with Higher Potential Pollutant Loads (LUHPPL), and any areas on the site where infiltration rate is greater than 2.4 inches per hour. The Plans shall identify the drainage areas for both existing and proposed conditions at a scale that enables verification of supporting calculations. As noted in the Checklist, the Stormwater Management Report shall document compliance with each of the Stormwater Management Standards as provided in the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook. The soils evaluation and calculations shall be done using the methodologies set forth in Volume 3 of the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook. To ensure that the Stormwater Report is complete, applicants are required to fill in the Stormwater Report Checklist by checking the box to indicate that the specified information has been included in the Stormwater Report. If any of the information specified in the checklist has not been submitted, the applicant must provide an explanation. The completed Stormwater Report Checklist and Certification must be submitted with the Stormwater Report. 1 The Stormwater Report may also include the Illicit Discharge Compliance Statement required by Standard 10. If not included in the Stormwater Report, the Illicit Discharge Compliance Statement must be submitted prior to the discharge of stormwater runoff to the post-construction best management practices. 2 For some complex projects, it may not be possible to include the Construction Period Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan in the Stormwater Report. In that event, the issuing authority has the discretion to issue an Order of Conditions that approves the project and includes a condition requiring the proponent to submit the Construction Period Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan before commencing any land disturbance activity on the site. 08-24-2023 swcheck • 04/01/08 Stormwater Report Checklist • Page 3 of 8 Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Resource Protection - Wetlands Program Checklist for Stormwater Report Checklist (continued) LID Measures: Stormwater Standards require LID measures to be considered.

LUHPPLs are located at the site and industry specific source control and pollution prevention measures have been proposed to reduce or eliminate the exposure of LUHPPLs to rain, snow, snow melt and runoff, and been included in the long term Pollution Prevention Plan. All exposure has been eliminated. All exposure has not been eliminated and all BMPs selected are on MassDEP LUHPPL list. The LUHPPL has the potential to generate runoff with moderate to higher concentrations of oil and grease (e.g. all parking lots with >1000 vehicle trips per day) and the treatment train includes an oil grit separator, a filtering bioretention area, a sand filter or equivalent. Standard 6: Critical Areas The discharge is near or to a critical area and the treatment train includes only BMPs that MassDEP has approved for stormwater discharges to or near that particular class of critical area. Critical areas and BMPs are identified in the Stormwater Report. swcheck • 04/01/08 Stormwater Report Checklist • Page 7 of 8 Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Resource Protection - Wetlands Program Checklist for Stormwater Report Checklist (continued) Standard 7: Redevelopments and Other Projects Subject to the Standards only to the maximum extent practicable The project is subject to the Stormwater Management Standards only to the maximum Extent Practicable as a: Limited Project Small Residential Projects: 5-9 single family houses or 5-9 units in a multi-family development provided there is no discharge that may potentially affect a critical area.

This document has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Stormwater Regulations included in the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act Regulations (310 CMR 10). Responsible Party The Town of Brewster DPW will be responsible for the maintenance of the roadway facilities and associated stormwater management features, in accordance with Town standards. Questions or concerns regarding maintenance activities may also be addressed to Town of Brewster DPW: Town of Brewster DPW 201 Run Hill Road Brewster, MA 02631 Phone: (508) 896-3212 Maintenance Measures The stormwater management system covered by this Operation and Maintenance Plan consists of the following components: · Catch Basins · Gutter Inlets · Leaching Basins · Leaching Galleys Maintenance of these components will be conducted in accordance with Town of Brewster DPW standard maintenance practices, as noted in the attached Operation and Maintenance table summarizing the pertinent inspection and maintenance activities. Page | 2 If inspection indicates the need for major repairs of structural surfaces, the inspector should contact the Town of Brewster DPW to initiate procedures to effect repairs in accordance with Town of Brewster DPW standard construction practices. Practices for Long Term Pollution Prevention In general, long term pollution prevention and related maintenance activities will be conducted consistent with Town of Brewster DPW’s NPDES Stormwater MS4 Permit. For the facilities covered by this Operation and Maintenance Plan, long term pollution prevention includes the following measures: Routine Inspection and Maintenance of Stormwater BMPs The Town of Brewster DPW will conduct inspection and maintenance of the stormwater management practices in accordance with the information in Table 1. Spill Prevention and Response In the event of a release of oil or hazardous materials such as fuels, oils, or chemical materials onto the ground or other areas that could reasonably be expected to discharge to surface or groundwater, reportable quantities will immediately be reported to the applicable Federal, State, and local agencies as required by law. Reportable quantities of chemical, fuels, or oils are established under the Clean Water Act and enforced through DEP. Applicable containment and cleanup procedures will be performed immediately. Impacted material collected during the response must be removed promptly and disposed of in accordance with Federal, State, and local requirements. A licensed emergency response contractor may be required to assist in cleanup of releases depending on the amount of the release and the ability of the responsible party to perform the required response. Snow and Ice Management Snow and Ice Management shall be conducted according to standard Town of Brewster standard practices. Stockpiling and disposal of snow or ice removed from highways and streets located outside of a Zone II that contains sodium chloride, chemically treated abrasives or other chemicals used for snow and ice removal is prohibited within Zones I and II of the Town’s Groundwater Protection District in accordance with the Town of Brewster Water Quality Protection Bylaw. Prohibition of Illicit Discharges The DEP Stormwater Management Standards prohibit illicit discharges to the storm water management system. Illicit discharges are discharges that do not entirely consist of stormwater, except for certain specified non-stormwater discharges. Page | 3 Discharges from the following activities are not considered illicit discharges: firefighting foundation drains water line flushing footing drains landscape irrigation individual resident car washing uncontaminated groundwater flows from riparian habitats and wetlands potable water sources dechlorinated water from swimming pools water used to clean residential buildings without detergents water used for street washing air conditioning condensation There are no known or proposed illicit connections associated with this project. If a potential illicit discharge to the facilities covered by this plan is detected (e.g., dry weather flows at any pipe outlet, evidence of contamination of surface water discharge by non-stormwater sources), the Town of Brewster DPW shall be notified for assistance in determining the nature and source of the discharge, and for resolution through the DPW’s IDDE program.

The wetland was originally flagged during an April 11, 2018, delineation. Due to water depth, density of shrubs at the perimeter, and private property considerations, only the northern, southern, and western edges of the pool were investigated at close range. The interior and eastern edge were surveyed from a distance only. This memorandum describes the findings of the 2023 survey. Pool Description The pool is located within the southwest corner of the 99 Millstone Road property and the northwest corner of the 133 Millstone Road property on the eastern edge of Millstone Road (Photo 1) in Brewster. The pool was approximately 90 feet long by 75 feet wide and was shallow at the northern, southern, and eastern edges at <12 inches; it ranged from 18 to >24 inches deep along the western edge and the interior. The water was clear and tannic at the time of survey. The substrate consisted of leaves underlain with a mixture of muck and gravel. A dense ring of shrubs around the perimeter of the pool and a large amount of woody debris provided abundant attachment points for amphibian egg masses (Photos 2 and 3). The interior of the pool was deep and open, with several small colonies of green algae (Photo 4). No inlets or outlets were noted. Dominant vegetation included winterberry (Ilex verticillata), northern arrow-wood (Viburnum dentatum), honeysuckle (Lonicera spp.), willow (Salix spp.), fox grape (Vitis labrusca), Asiatic bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus), and common greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia). Obligate vernal pool indicators included approximately 22 spotted salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) egg masses (Photos 5 and 6) observed at the northern and southern ends of the pool, as well as at the southern edge of the interior opening. Facultative vernal pool species noted included log-cabin caddisfly larva (Photo 7), fingernail clams, crawling water beetles, aquatic oligochaete worms (Photo 8), and amphibious snails. No fish were observed during the survey. Reflag Effort Flags WF1-100 and WF1-105 were still in place, the rest of the original wetland flags were not found by the surveyor and were likely removed during vegetation management along the shoulder of the road. Wetland flags WF1-100 to 1-105 were rehung along the western edge of the pool using pink flagging. A field map showing the original flag locations was used to attempt to replicate those locations during the reflag effort. An R1 unit was used to collect points for the flag locations, however, accuracy ranged between 1.6 and 2 meters.

We are requesting a minor change to the plan effecting only the ACCESS portion of the OOC as was discussed with Conservation Commission Chair Tobin and Administer Grafton on 8/31/2023 The sand covered coir envelope array was designed by Jim O’Connell of Coastal Advisory Services and Cape Cod Engineering in 2015. The coir envelope joins with our neighbor’s coir envelope (112 Governor Prence Rd.) and our section is approximately 23 feet long at the east side of our property, primarily to provide erosion protection to the section of coastal bank landward of the existing stairway down the coastal bank to the beach. The system has been in place now for over seven years now and remains very stable. However the recent heavy rains have exposed a small portion of the coir rolls immediately adjacent to and under the stairs ( see photos). OOC A32. “As ongoing mitigation for this project, the coir envelopes shall remain covered with sand to protect from photo-degradation. At no time shall the coir envelopes by uncovered for more than thirty days, unless the use of a Brewster Town Landing is not approved by the Brewster Selectmen’s Office. The coir envelopes will be covered as soon as access is possible. “ Per the OOC ACCESS specifies use of the Brewster Town Landing after approval from the Brewster Selectmen”s Office. However we have found a better approach to access and one that does not cause any adverse effects or place any stress on the existing beachfront grass of my neighbors. The approach is to place a steel chute down our stairs and to bring the sand to the chute by wheelbarrows and shovel the sand onto the chute. The sand then slides down the chute and is shoveled into place. We have used this approach successfully in 2021 and 2022 as was approved by Noelle Aguiar , see email below: “Hi Frank, We are well, thanks! I hope you and yours are well too! You are covered for this work under your open permit (see attached). To get this going (per the Special Conditions), I need a work notice form (blank attached), a sieve analysis for the sand to be used, photos of the "before" conditions, and a site visit prior to the work starting up to review the permit with the supervisor for the work (it can be the same day). If you/your contractor have some dates/times in mind, I can check my schedule. I hope this helps! Kind Regards, Noelle Aguiar M.S.

William Frank King 122 Governor Prence Road Brewster, MA 02631 3 June 2023 To: Brewster Conservation Commission Subject: 122 Governor Prence OOC SE 9-1695 Annual Report The original OOC was granted on 5/5/2016 and was recorded in the Barnstable County Registry of Deeds Book 29738 page 232. The Original OOC was extended by the Brewster Conservation Commission on 4/11/2019 and was recorded in the Barnstable County Registry of Deeds Book 35820 page 31. Another extension was granted by the Brewster Conservation Commission on 4/18/2023 and was recorded in the Barnstable County Registry of Deeds book 35820 page 28. This extension is valid until 5/4/2026. All documents containing Registry of Deeds imprints for book and page are included below. This sand covered coir envelope array was designed by Jim O’Connell of Coastal Advisory Services and Cape Cod Engineering in 2015. The coir envelope joins with our neighbor’s coir envelope (112 Governor Prence Rd.) and is approximately 25 feet long at the east side of our property, primarily to provide erosion protection to the section of coastal bank landward of the existing stairway down the coastal bank to the beach. The system has been in place for over seven years now and has remained very stable primarily as it is extensively covered by beach grass (see photograph ). Because of this stability, we have moved to self reporting each year on the condition of the bank as required by The Special Condition of the OOC Section A50. A50. A detailed monitoring report shall be submitted to the Conservation Commission prior to May 15, annually, outlining the condition of the shoreline protection measures, beach system and site conditions. The monitoring report shall include a detailed summary of any maintenance activities and beach nourishment activities. The monitoring report shall also document the status of the access area. Supplemental vegetation shall be installed if the access area has not been sufficiently vegetated following prior disturbance. Because of the relatively mild winter, this year the system remains fully covered with sand requiring no maintenance. See photographs below. Additionally the sturdy sand drift fence has withstood time and the elements and marks the considerable accretion of sand behind it.
