Subject: Re: Williams Pond
Good morning, Mr. Driscoll and Mr. Martin:
Leo: thank you for indicating: "He has been notified a couple of times". If there has been a "letter
from the planning department"; as followup to my two queries on 01/13/2021 and 02/01/2021; I would
expect to be advised. As I verbally stated, almost two weeks ago on April 27th: the Town Council is not
"window dressing".
I have been totally unaware of any actions taken by the Team to address the conditions on the Williams
Pond property. I am expected to respond to constituents, who take the initiative to bring issues to my
attention. Sometimes, I just wonder why I even bother wasting my time communicating with the
Administration. No wonder there is a perceived lack of transparency.
As previously stated: when the Team has the opportunity, I would appreciate followup status; specific to
authorized/unauthorized activities on the parcel. Thank you.
Best,
Angie

He has been notified a couple of times that he is in violation of the state and local wetland

As noted in my 01/13/2021 and 02/01/2021 communications; it has been reported to me that there
have been tree clearing activities on the Williams Pond site. There are many restrictions associated
with the wetland areas.
Also to note: the property owner has filed a Notice of Intent application (documents attached) with
the Conservation Commission. The case before the Conservation Commission has been continued
to June, 2021.
When the Team has the opportunity, I would appreciate followup status; specific to

Hello Steve,
It has been brought to my attention that early on Tuesday morning, Jan. 12th, 2021, a large white
box truck (no lettering) was backed -up to Williams Pond. The truck was parked on the property at
23-29 Elm St., where access had been gained to Williams Pond. Large pieces of newly cut tree
sections were being loaded onto the truck; from the Pond area.
I fully understand that Williams Pond is private property. When you have the opportunity, please
advise if clearing of trees on the wetlands is permissible. Thank you.

Re: Notice of Intent
Parcel 1236-2-0
0 Arlington Street, Watertown, Massachusetts
SWCA Job # 59467
Dear Ms. Schwab and Members of the Conservation Commission:
SWCA Environmental Consultants (SWCA), on behalf of Mr. Maximos Hatziliades (Applicant), has prepared
this Notice of Intent (NOI) application for the redevelopment of parcel 1236-2-0 at 0 Arlington Street in
Watertown (Williams parcel). The project proposes to redevelop the Williams parcel in accordance with 310
CMR 10.58(5). As part of redeveloping this parcel, the Applicant proposes the construction of a 7,150 square foot
mixed -use building accessed from Arlington Street and Elm Street. The Williams parcel is degraded from past
abandoned dumping grounds associated with the former property uses when owned by the Hood Rubber
Company in the early 1900's and later the B.F Goodrich Company, which utilized the parcel in 1929.
SWCA is submitting four hard copies of this NOI and one full set of civil design plans prepared by Engineering
Alliance, Inc. This NOI is also being submitted electronically to the Conservation Commission and the
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. The project is proposed as a Category 3.b activity,
construction of any commercial development, with a fee of $1,575.00 that includes the 1.5 multiplier for projects
within Riverfront Area. The City's portion of the fee is $800.00 and is being submitted with this NOI. The
Commonwealth's share of $775.00 is submitted with the eDEP Wetlands Transmittal Fee form. We look forward
to presenting this project to the Conservation Commission at the next public hearing. If you have any questions
regarding this application or would like to set up a site walk, please do not hesitate to contact us at our office.
Sincerely,
Valerie Miller

Notice of Intent Commercial Redevelopment
1 INTRODUCTION
On behalf of Maximos Hatziliades (Applicant), SWCA Environmental Consultants (SWCA) has prepared
this Notice of Intent (NOI) for redevelopment work and construction of a ±7,150 square foot (sf) two-
story mixed use commercial building on the ±1.42 -acre Parcel 1236-2-0 located at 0 Arlington Street in
Watertown, Massachusetts (Williams parcel). In 2019, SWCA prepared an Abbreviated Notice of
Resource Area Delineation (ANRAD) for the Williams parcel and for a second parcel, Parcel 1510-1-0,
located to the east, the location of Sawins Pond. The Applicant owns both parcels, but the work proposed
in this NOI is only for work proposed on the Williams parcel. The Williams parcel is illustrated on Figure
1 the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic Map and Figure 2 the Aerial Map provided in
Appendix A. The civil design plan illustrating the proposed project was developed by Engineering
Alliance, Inc. (Engineering Alliance) and is presented in Appendix B.
This NOI is being submitted in compliance with the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act (MGL c.131
§40) (WPA) and its implementing Regulations (310 CMR 10.00 et seq.) and the Watertown Wetland
Protection Ordinance (Wetland Ordinance) and its Rules and Regulations for the Administration of the
Watertown Wetland Ordinance of 2008 (revised 2012). The project proposes to construct the commercial
building as part of redeveloping this degraded site and to restore resource areas at the Williams parcel.
The project will allow the Applicant to develop a commercial building, restore degraded riverfront areas
(RFA) and wetlands, and provide limited clean-up to soil when contaminants are encountered.
The project is being proposed as a redevelopment project to improve this degraded parcel in accordance
with 310 CMR 10.58(5). The Williams parcel was formerly owned by the Hood Rubber Company that
utilized the parcel in the early 1900's and later the B.F Goodrich Company, which utilized the parcel in
1929 (Vineyard Engineering & Environmental Services, Inc. 2008b). The parcel has also been degraded
and impacted by off -site sources that have been documented as occurring in the 1970's (e.g., petroleum
oil) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in 1983 (Vineyard 2008a). These contaminants were reported
to have been discharged to the Williams parcel and the downgradient Sawins Pond parcel through catch
basin and off -site sources (Vineyard 2008b). Work at the Williams property will include:
• Restore RFA functions and values associated with the stream present at this parcel.
• Restore the condition and quality of the Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVWs) currently
impacted by contaminants, invasive species, debris, and trash.
• Provide limited cleanup of contaminants encountered during construction in accordance with a
Release Abatement Measure Plan (RAM).
• Improve stormwater quality, and ultimately stream quality, by repairing the headwall and
installing a stormwater water quality structure at the existing 24 -inch culvert at the west side of
the site.
While temporary impacts to resource areas will occur, restoration and redevelopment of this degraded
area will improve the aesthetics of the site as well as improve the quality of the jurisdictional resources at
the Williams parcel resulting in a net ecological benefit and improve the capacity of the RFA to better
protect the interests of the WPA. The proposed work will impact ±4,215-sf of BVW, which will be
mitigated by constructing ±6,930-sf of BVW on the southern portion of the parcel. The WPA Regulations
have a 100 -foot Buffer Zone to BVW, and the Wetlands Ordinance regulates a 150 -foot Buffer Zone to
BVW. Because the site is only ±1.42 acres, the proposed building and mitigation will all be located within
these buffer zones. The Wetlands Ordinance also has a 50 -foot No Build Zone to BVW, which the
Applicant is requesting a waiver from so the building and mitigation areas can be constructed.
1
Notice of Intent Commercial Redevelopment
A perennial stream, locally referred to as Williams Brook, is also present on the Williams parcel. In
accordance with the Regulations and Wetlands Ordinance a 200 -foot RFA is associated with this stream
that extends upland from the mean annual high-water line (MAHWL). The proposed construction and
mitigation will also be located within this 200 -foot RFA. There is no buffer zone associated with RFA.
Pursuant to the Regulations and the Watertown Conservation Commission (Commission), four paper
copies and an electronic copy of this NOI are being submitted to the Commission, with an electronic copy
to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) using the eDEP filing system.
The project is proposed as a Category 3.b activity, construction of any commercial development, with a
fee of $1,575.00, which includes the 1.5 multiplier for projects within RFA. The City's portion of the fee
is $800.00 and is enclosed with this NOI. The Commonwealth's share of $775.00 is submitted with the
eDEP Wetlands Transmittal Fee form. Copies of the checks and transmittal form are provided in
Appendix C.
In accordance with the Wetlands Ordinance, SWCA will provide written notification by certified mail to
all abutters whose lot is within 300 feet from the site. The notification will state where the NOI can be
reviewed. At the time of the filing, SWCA will also notify the Offices of the Town Council, Town
Planning Board and Board of Appeals, Board of Health, Building Inspector, Town Manager, and
Department of Public Works that the NOI has been submitted. Copies of the NOI will also be provided to
these Town Departments and it is understood they have fourteen days to provide written comments to the
Watertown Commission. The certified list of abutters, abutter notification, and the affidavit of mailing are
included in Appendix C.
2 SITE DESCRIPTION
The Williams parcel is located in a mixed industrial, commercial, and residential area of Watertown and
is currently vacant and wooded with ±7,930-sf of BVW present in association with a perennial stream,
locally referred to as Williams Brook. The parcel is zoned as Regional Mixed Use (RMUD) and not
located within any overlay districts. The parcel is ±1.42 acres and located on the west side of Arlington
Street. Elm Street and the Watertown Mall are to the west. Upstream drainage into the stream is entirely
derived from roadways, parking lots, a major shopping center (including a Target Superstore), and urban
runoff that enters the site by way of a large culvert from under Elm Street. Flow from the stream on the
Williams parcel continues under Arlington Street through a series of concrete box culverts, including a
double -box concrete bay (2 ±60 -inch box culverts) and a ±48 -inch stormwater overflow concrete box
culvert. The stream remains underground for ±110 linear feet under Arlington Street before daylighting
on the eastern side of the Street and into Sawins Pond. The entirety of the Williams parcel slopes inward
from the surrounding area toward the stream, and elevations range from ±24 feet at the perimeter down to
±10 feet at the discharge point and culvert at Arlington Street.
Much of the wooded upland area on the Williams parcel is along the left descending bank of the stream
(the right and left bank of a stream is determined while facing downstream) and consists of steeply graded
fill. Existing vegetation on the uplands consists of overgrown field, scrub shrub, and mixed tree species
including, but not limited to silver maple (Acer saccharinum), northern catalpa (Catalpa speciosa), box
elder (Acer negundo), staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina), annual mugwort (Artemisia annua), annual
ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), and American pokeweed (Phytolacca americana).

3 SITE HISTORY
The Williams parcel is formerly the site of Williams Pond, which is no longer present. The pond was
created in the late 1800's along with Sawins Pond located immediately downstream of Arlington Street.
The ponds were developed by George W. Sawin as part of a resort for recreational purposes and can be
seen in historical maps dating to at least 1889. When the resort went out of business in the early 1900's,
the ponds were purchased by the Hood Rubber Company (Hood). The Hood Rubber Company property is
described as being extensive and encompassing the Sawins and Williams Pond and extending west
between Arsenal Street on the south and Dexter Street to the North (Vineyard 2008a). Hood became the
largest manufacturer of rubber products in the world at one time and used the ponds as a source of cooling
water for the plant and as a disposal location for their wastewater. The Hood Rubber Company was later
acquired by B.F. Goodrich Corporation in 1929. Contaminant releases have been reported at the Williams
parcel from as far back as 1976 when an oil spill occurred and in 1983 with the report of a release of
transformer fluid containing PCBs (Vineyard 2008b). The parcel was periodically monitored following
this PCB release until March of 1983.
Sampling of the Williams parcel was undertaken by the City of Watertown in 1984, when the City
considered purchasing the parcel. Results of the sampling indicated elevated levels of metals and
petroleum in samples collected from Williams Pond and Sawins Pond (Vineyard 2008b). Following the
City's sampling, the Applicant contracted with an engineering and testing company to collect surface
water samples and groundwater samples at the site. Petroleum constituents (i.e., benzene, toluene,
ethylbenzene, and xylene) were detected in the groundwater and surface water. Additional sampling was
undertaken by the engineering and testing company in 1988. The results of the testing in late the 1980s
concluded that petroleum, semi -volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) and PCBs were detected in
sediments and were attributable to the municipal storm drain system which discharges surface water
runoff into the Williams Pond and Sawins Pond from an area of approximately 640 acres (Vineyard
2008b).
Continued investigations at the Williams parcel were completed by another consulting firm in the later
1990s in response to changes to the environmental regulations that took place in 1993. Water samples
were collected from wells, and sediment samples collected. Reports prepared by Vineyard Environmental
Services, Inc. (Vineyard) indicate continued reporting of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), SVOCs,
and metals from groundwater, soil and/or sediments. However, Vineyard reported that documents
reviewed did not illustrate the locations where samples were collected (Vineyard 2008b).
The Williams parcel is identified as Release Tracking Number (RTN) 3-0457, which was issued by the
MassDEP, Bureau of Waste Site Cleanup. Comprehensive site assessments have been conducted in
association with this RTN and the parcel has been described as having discarded debris along the northern
portion of the parcel. The debris included metal scraps, an automobile fuel tank, metal jars, cans,
automobile upholstery, tires, fans, empty 5 -gallon plastic buckets, glass bottles, a corroded 55 -gallon
drum, tubing, and tricycles (Vineyard 2008a).
Comprehensive investigations were conducted by Vineyard, which culminated with a Phase II
Comprehensive Site Assessment Report and Response Action Outcome Statement (RAO) in 2008.
Vineyard performed soil and sediment sampling at the parcel to evaluate the nature and extent of
contaminants at the Williams parcel. The results of soil sampling at the parcel indicated the presence of
beryllium, chromium, and nickel at ±4 to 6 feet below grade surface in soils collected from the southeast
side of the parcel (Vineyard, 2008a). Additional soil sampling was conducted in 2008 at this same
location to evaluate the extent of the metals detected in 2007. Concentrations of nickel ranged from 7.6
milligram/kilogram (mg/kg) to 45 mg/kg. Beryllium concentrations ranged from 0.33 mg/kg to 2.6
3
Notice of Intent Commercial Redevelopment
mg/kg. Both nickel and beryllium were above the MassDEP's reportable conditions in 2006 (Vineyard
2008a).
The RAO ultimately filed identified the contaminants of concern (COCs) at this parcel to be
benzo(a)pyrene, xylene, and three metals (nickel, beryllium, and chromium) in soil. The RAO issued is a
class B-1 RAO, indicating that assessed conditions approach background without remediation (Vineyard
2008a).
Sediment samples collected by Vineyard during their comprehensive investigations identified PCB
concentrations collected from upgradient sediment samples on the Williams parcel as ranging from 620 to
3,240 micrograms per kilogram (µg/kg). These samples were collected from 0 to 3 feet. Sediment
samples collected downstream on the parcel, from a depth of 1 to 3 feet ranged from 4.7 µg/kg to 570
µg/kg. Lower concentrations of PCBs were detected nearer the sediment surface (Vineyard 2008a).
Sediment samples collected from the Williams parcel contained concentrations of lead, nickel, copper,
cadmium, mercury, and zinc. These samples also had concentrations of petroleum constituents, with
Extractable Petroleum Hydrocarbons (EPH) concentrations present. SVOCs were also present in the
sediments collected from the parcel. These COCs were considered to be the result of off -site sources and
a downgradient property status (DPS) submittal was filed with MassDEP in 2007 for both the Williams
Parcel and Sawins Pond Parcel. The DPS was limited to Sawins Pond and the wetland areas. RTN 3-
29157 was created for the DPS to sperate the ponds and wetland from RTN 3-0457.
MassDEP completed an audit of the documents submitted for the Williams parcel and issued a Notice of
Audit findings on April 1, 2010, for the DPS Opinion and RAO Statements associated with RTNs 3-0457
and 3-29157. The audit assigned RTN 3-29157 to the DPS portion (ponds and wetlands) of RTN 3-0457.
The audit did not identify any deficiencies in the RAO or DPS and concluded that the property owner,
The Applicant, was not required to take any additional action.
4 RELEASE ABATEMENT MEASURE PLAN
The historical uses documented at the Williams parcel, in addition to documented off -site sources shown
to have impacted the Williams parcel, have led to the degradation of the soil, sediment, and water quality.
The Williams parcel has a closed regulatory status with MassDEP following their April 2010 audit.
Therefore, response actions can be undertaken during the proposed building construction and residual
contamination from historic activities will be managed accordingly at that time under a Release
Abatement Measure (RAM) plan. These response actions will be undertaken at the Williams parcel in
accordance with the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP), section 310 CMR 40.1067, Remedial
Actions after a Permanent or Temporary Solution Statement has been submitted to MassDEP. For this
project, a RAM plan will be prepared and filed with MassDEP. For permitting this project, a draft RAM
plan has been developed by the Alliance Environmental Group and is presented in Appendix D. This plan
will be updated and finalized as the project is initiated.
The draft RAM plan will be formatted in accordance with 310 CMR 40.0440 and include the following:
• Name, address, telephone number, and relationship to the site of the person performing the RAM.
• A description of any release or threat of release, site conditions, and surrounding receptors.
• Objectives of the plan, implementation schedule for the RAM and any associated plans.
• A statement as to whether Remediation Waste, Remedial Wastewater, and or Remedial Additives
will be excavated, collected, stored, treated discharged, or otherwise managed.
4
Notice of Intent Commercial Redevelopment
• Seal and signature of the Licensed Site Professional preparing the RAM.
• The certification required at 310 CMR 40.04425(5), if greater than 1,500 cubic yards of
Remediation Wastes, are to be generated and managed at the disposal site.
• Any additional information MassDEP requires.
The RAM plan will be submitted to MassDEP prior to construction and following additional
characterization of soil and groundwater conditions in the proposed footprint of the building and
construction areas and wetland mitigation areas.
As part of the RAM, two days of drilling at the site will be conducted to perform one single boring to 60
feet below grade (or auger refusal) with standard penetration testing (SPT) soil sampling protocol. In
addition, three to four borings will be performed to 20 feet below grade with SPT soil sampling protocol.
Four 20 -foot or less deep 2 -inch diameter monitoring wells will be completed for groundwater gauging
and chemical testing.
Soil samples will be analyzed for grainsize and testing of general MassDEP quarry reuse facility
parameters VOCs, Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, metals -12, Toxicity
Characteristic Leaching Procedure for lead (TCLP-Pb), Flashpoint/Reactivity/Conductivity/pH).
Groundwater samples will be submitted for laboratory testing of Volatile Petroleum Hydrocarbons, EPH,
metals -13, dissolved iron, and total suspended solids. Sediment samples will be analyzed for similar
parameters.
The results of the sampling effort will be included with the RAM and used to determine soil and water
management, as well as geotechnical information required for building.
5 JURISDICTIONAL RESOURCE AREAS
Jurisdictional resources were delineated and an ANRAD was submitted to the Commission and
MassDEP. An Order of Resource Area Delineation (ORAD) was issued by the Commission on July 17,
2019 (Appendix E). Sheet 1, ANRAD Plan, illustrates the jurisdictional resources approved for the
Williams parcel in the ORAD. These resources include Land Under Water (LUW), Bank, and RFA
associated with the stream as well as BVW. Bordering Land Subject to Flooding is not present at the
Williams parcel as illustrated on Figure 3, the 100 -year floodplain (Federal Emergency Management
Agency [FEMA] 2021).
5.1 Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program
As part of the ANRAD submittal, SWCA reviewed the Massachusetts Geographic Information System
(MassGIS) database to determine if the project was located within or adjacent to areas designated as

5.2 Outstanding Resource Waters and Areas of Critical
Environmental Concern
SWCA reviewed the MassGIS data layers to determine if the project location coincides with Areas of
Critical Environmental Concern (ACECs) or Outstanding Resource Waters (ORWs) as part of the
ANRAD and as part of this NOI submittal. ACECs are areas designated in Massachusetts that receive
special recognition because of the quality, uniqueness, and significance of its natural and/or and cultural
resources. ORWs are watershed areas that have been classified as such under the Massachusetts Surface
Water Quality Standards. These watersheds constitute an outstanding resource as determined by their
important socioeconomic, recreational, ecological and/or aesthetic values and have been identified so that
they may be protected and maintained. SWCA determined that neither ORWs nor ACECs are associated
with the project area or parcel (MassGIS, 2009 and 2010).
6 PROPOSED PROJECT
The project proposes the construction of a mixed -use building accessed from Arlington Street and Elm
Street. The civil design plan set was developed by Engineering Alliance and is presented in Appendix B.
The jurisdictional resource areas approved by the Commission under the ORAD plan were incorporated
into the civil design plan set so that temporary and permanent impacts could be determined. The Cover
Sheet (C -O) to the plan set illustrates the proposed building, parking areas, and access routes from
Arlington and Elm Streets. Existing conditions and erosion controls are illustrated Sheet C-1. SWCA has
also prepared a wetland mitigation plan as illustrated on Sheets L-1 and L-2 in Appendix B.
The project proposes the following:
• Construct a new building in accordance with the Watertown Zoning Ordinance (amended
December 11, 2018) for RMUD designated parcels.
• Improve the aesthetics of the parcel.
• Repair the headwall at the west side of the site (Elm Street) and install a water quality structure at
the discharge point between the existing culvert and BVW to improve water quality of the on -site
stream.
• Restore and enhance the functions and services of the existing BVW and RFA by removing
invasive species, removing urban refuse where and to the extent practicable, and planting native
species.
• Address contaminated soils, when encountered, under a RAM plan.
• Reuse contaminated soil on -site or dispose of contaminated soil in accordance with a RAM plan.
• Create ±6,390 square feet (±0.15 -acre) of on -site and in -kind wetland mitigation (±11% of the
parcel).
• Improve the features and functions of on -site wildlife habitat.
The project is being proposed to develop a commercial building in Watertown on a parcel zoned as
RMUD and not located within any sensitive overlay districts. The building has been proposed in
accordance with the land use table for a parcel zoned RMUD, and no zoning variances or waivers to the
requirements are being requested. The parcel has limited space and the building, parking, and associated
features have been designed to avoid and minimize impact to the maximum extent practicable. Where
impacts are unavoidable, compensatory mitigation is proposed.

Notice of Intent Commercial Redevelopment
The intent of RUMD or Regional Mixed Use District has been to enact, assist, and promote the
conversion of the Arsenal Street Corridor. It was established to promote mixed use development and
enhance the quality of life by promoting the development of a high -quality public realm (Watertown
Zoning Ordinance 2018). The project is consistent with the RMUD and will accomplish the following:
1. "Facilitate transformative development consistent with Watertown's goal to promote mixed use
development that includes a mix of larger and smaller scale retail, office, hospitality, multi family
residential and research and development uses, and that serves regional demand."
This project is proposed in support of this objective. It provides a small-scale mixed -use
development for retail and warehouse use. It is also proposing a project that has less adverse
effects on the interests of the WPA and the Ordinance than previously proposed projects for this
parcel.
2. "Allow development at a density, scale and character appropriate to define a corridor that is a
major gateway for the Town..."
To restate, this project is being proposed in support of the RMUD objectives. It is also proposing
a project that has less adverse effects on the interests of the WPA than previously proposed
projects for this parcel.
3. "Enhance the quality of life, including promoting the development of a high quality public
realm..."
Development proposed is to be aesthetically pleasing and consistent with Watertown's Design
Guidelines, provides a pedestrian environment, and promotes frontage that create connections to
surrounding neighborhoods and the Charles River. Again, this project is being proposed in
support of the RMUD objectives.
4. "Enhance publicly available open space networks by connecting to and integrating with adjacent
state, municipal and privately -owned parcels, where appropriate, encouraging private land
owners to permanently preserve open space, being sensitive to the Charles River reservation, and
furthering private remediation and public access to Sawins Brook and Pond and Williams Pond."
The Williams parcel has been contaminated with metals, petroleum, and other contaminants of
concern as discussed in Section 3. The project proposes a building that incorporates mitigating
for, and enhancing of, BVW and RFA at the site that will remain as open space. Prior to and
during construction, soil, sediment, and groundwater samples will be collected and analyzed. The
results of which will guide the cleanup of site conditions in accordance with a RAM plan (Section
4). The project provides for a building as promoted in the RMUD district, addresses
contamination, and mitigates for and enhances wetland impacts.
S. "Respect historic assets and architectural features that help define the character of the
community and encourage preservation and restoration of historic buildings."
The project does not impact historic buildings.
6. "Incentivize real estate investment that will enhance the diversity and maximize the value of the
Town's tax base."
The project provides a building that will maximize the Town's tax base, while proposing a project
that has less adverse effects on the interests of the WPA than previously proposed projects for this
parcel.
7. "Use 'green' building practices that encourage energy efficiency, manage stormwater, protect
the riparian habitat, and are planned, designed, constructed, and managed to minimize adverse
environmental impacts."

Notice of Intent Commercial Redevelopment
The project has been designed to be efficient and manage stormwater in a manner that reduces
contaminants from entering the BVW and stream on this parcel. Previous projects proposed for
this site had greater impacts to jurisdictional resource areas, and this project has been designed to
reduce impacts and mitigate for impacts to BVW and RFA. The project proposes restoring the
functions and services of BVW and RFA and reducing the number of invasive species present at
the parcel.
Existing vegetation in the BVW includes silver maple, catalpa, broadleaf cattail (Typha latifolia),
common rush (Juncus effusus), jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria
japonica), and Asian bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus). Invasive species dominate much of this
surrounding area and site, including the upland areas. With the exception of the garden area, the
uplands at the site are dominated by mixed tree species including, but not limited to: silver maple,
catalpa, box elder.
This project proposes the removal of invasive species within select areas of the mitigation and
planting native species.
8. "Encourage development that accommodates and promotes multi -modal access, transit between
the Arsenal Corridor and mass transit stops, management of transportation demand to reduce
automobile use, and mitigates deterioration of the level of affected intersection service for all
transportation modes ".
The project has been designed to accommodate transit in the Arsenal Corridor. Parking is
available in association with the proposed building use. Access will be one way onto the parcel,
with the entrance off Arlington Street and exit limited to E1m Street.
6.1 Building Construction
The proposed building will be a two story, ±7,150 sf building constructed on a concrete slab floor,
constructed in the northwest portion of the Williams parcel. The building will include ±3,500 sf of retail
space and ±3,650 sf of warehouse space on the first floor, and ±7,150 sf of warehouse space on the
second floor. The property will be accessed by driveways on both E1m Street and Arlington Street. One-
way entry will be provided by way of a ±16 -foot driveway from Elm Street. A two-way entry will be
provided by way of a ±24 -foot driveway from Arlington Street. Parking will be associated with the
driveway from Arlington Street, and vehicles will only exit the property onto Arlington Street
(Engineering Alliance 2021). During construction, a combination of silt fence and haybale barriers (Sheet
D-2) will be utilized with BioWattle erosion controls when constructing the mitigation areas (Sheet L-2).
The construction of the building and portions of the driveway/parking area will impact ±4,215 sf of BVW
as shown on Sheet C-2. Fill will need to be placed in this area of wetland to construct the building as the
elevations at the northwest and west side of the Williams parcel range from ±19 feet to ±11 feet in
elevation and slope toward the stream. The impact to this portion of the wetland will be replicated by
constructing a total of ±6,930 sf of wetland on -site to off -set these impacts. Three replication areas are
proposed, with one at the southwest side of the existing stream and the other two located along the
southern side of the stream. These areas are illustrated on the Site Layout Plan, C-2.
Drainage at the site enters the Williams parcel upstream from an existing 24 -inch culvert that supports the
existing stream and adjacent BVW. The headwall for this culvert is in disrepair and will be repaired by
installation of a water quality structure at the discharge point between the existing culvert and BVW. A
new headwall will also be constructed as part of the wetland replication.

6.2 Stormwater Management
Engineering Alliance prepared drainage calculations and a stormwater management plan in support of this
project. Drainage calculations for existing calculations were prepared for the 2, 10, 25, and 100 -year Type II
24 -hour storm event (Engineering Alliance 2020). The existing conditions drainage analysis was comprised
of one watershed area that drains by way of surface flow to the 6 -foot wide culvert. The results for these
storm events were calculated to be 2.21 cubic feet per second (cfs), 4.49 cfs, 5.96 cfs, and 8.23 cfs,
respectively (Engineering Alliance 2021). A copy of the stormwater report is presented in Appendix F.
The proposed conditions, including construction of the building, driveways, parking areas, and
landscaping areas was then calculated in the same manner as existing conditions for the same storm
events. The results were 1.56 cfs, 3.06 cfs, 4.01 cfs, and 6.69 cfs and do not exceed existing conditions
rates (Engineering Alliance 2021).
As part of managing stormwater, the project will include facilities to attenuate peak flows generated by all
storm events up to and including the 100 -year storm event. These facilities include a porous asphalt
parking area that includes an 18 -inch crushed stone bed (Engineering Alliance 2020). Treebox filters have
also been proposed at low points in the porous asphalt parking area as emergency overflow spillways in
the event of extreme storms and or failure of the asphalt. The treebox filter drains will discharge to an
overflow manhole and ultimately through an overflow pipe daylighting beyond the proposed retaining
wall along the parking area (Engineering Alliance 2021).
The Applicant has developed the project in accordance with standards established by the Department. The
drainage calculations and a stormwater management plan developed in support of this project utilized
drainage calculations for the 2, 10, 25, and 100 -year Type II 24 -hour storm event (Engineering Alliance
2020). Low Impact Development measures are included, specifically, treebox filters are included in the
design and porous asphalt will be utilized.
Engineering Alliance has provided the MassDEP checklist for stormwater with their report in Appendix
F. The following summarizes the Project's compliance with the Massachusetts Stormwater Standards.
Standard 1— No New Untreated Discharges. There are no new untreated discharges, outlets have been
designed so there is no erosion or scour to wetlands and waters of the Commonwealth, supporting
calculations specified in Volume 3 of the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook included.
Standard 2 — Peak Rate Attenuation. This is met with calculations showing that the post -development
peak discharge rates do not exceed pre -development rates for the 2 -year, 10 -year and 24 -hour storm.
Calculations also show the post -development peak discharge rates do not exceed pre -development rates
for the 100 -year and 24 -hour storm.
Standard 3 — Recharge. Recharge standards are met with required recharge volume calculations
provided and sizing the infiltration Best management Practices (BMP) is based on static methods.
Recharge BMPs have been sized to infiltrate the required recharge volume and calculations showing that
the infiltration BMPs will drain in 72 hours are provided.

7.5 Riverfront Area
The RFA at the Williams Parcel is associated with the Williams Brook and RFA encompasses the entire
site as the parcel is only ±1.42 acres. The project is being proposed as a redevelopment project as outlined
in 310 CMR 10.58(5) as it has been an abandoned dumping ground associated with the former property
uses in the 1900s, with fill and debris present. As outlined in Section 3 the RFA has been degraded since
owned by Hood in the 1920's. Water from Williams Parcel was used as cooling water for the Hood
manufacturing plant and for disposal location for their wastewater (Vineyard 2008a). In the 1980's
additional impacts to the Williams Parcel were related to petroleum and PCB releases to Williams Brook.
The Williams Parcel has been used as a disposal area for junk as also discussed in Section 3. The
Applicant is proposing the redevelopment of this RFA to reuse a portion of the degraded areas.
The proposed work will improve the existing conditions and capacity of the RFA to protect the interests
of the WPA and will result in an ecological uplift to the resource area. Enhancement of the RFA is
proposed by removing trash and debris, addressing and disposing of contaminated soils, planting of native
trees and other vegetation, and removal of invasive species.
• Trash and debris at the site will be removed from the RFA including areas of RFA that occur as
BVW.
• Contaminated soils in RFA will be addressed and disposed of in accordance with the MCP.
• The RFA on the north side of the site has no trees and is currently used as a garden. As part of the
proposed restoration of RFA, native tree species will be planted at the north side.
• The south side of Williams Brook will be planted with red maple trees (Acer rubrum) and
American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana) as shown on Sheet L-1 and L-2. This will improve
RFA conditions and wildlife habitat.
• The work in the RFA also includes work within BVW and Bank. The proposed work will also
improve the functions and services of these resource areas as well as the features and functions of
wildlife habitat.
Stormwater management will be an integral part of this project and conducted in accordance with the
standards established by MassDEP (310 CMR 10.58(5)(b)). This is described in Section 7.2, which
describes how stormwater for the project will be improved in this RFA.
With the construction of the building and mitigation areas for BVW and uplands in the RFA, debris will
be removed and properly disposed of off -site. Large diameter trees along the south side of the stream will
be retained as much as practicable and new native tree species will be planted along the stream. Work will
require grading and the addition of clean topsoil with sufficient organic matter for the mitigation areas
and as part of the installation of native plantings in the existing BVW north of the stream. Sheet L-1
provides the list of plantings to be installed.
Mitigation in the RFA will be supervised by a Professional Wetland Scientist that will be on site to verify
the limits of work, check and confirm grades, confirm the proposed plantings are installed as required,
and monitor construction. Plantings and mitigation areas will be monitored twice annually to assure that
75% cover with native plants is established at the site within 2 years of installation and to ensure invasive
species do not re-establish.

• The RFA on the north side of the site has no trees and is currently used as a garden. As part of the
proposed restoration of RFA, native tree species will be planted at the north side.
• The south side of Williams Brook will be planted with red maple trees (Acer rubrum) and
American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana) as shown on Sheet L-1 and L-2. This will improve
RFA conditions and wildlife habitat.
• The work in the RFA also includes work within BVW and Bank. The proposed work will also
improve the functions and services of these resource areas as well as the features and functions of
wildlife habitat.

7.5.3 Alternatives Analysis
The Applicant, together with environmental consultants, engineers, and hazardous waste contractors, has
considered several alternative concept design plans for the Williams Parcel. As stated in Section 3 the site
is degraded. Hazardous waste assessments, RAO and DPS for the Williams parcel were reviewed under
an audit by MassDEP. The audit did not identify any deficiencies in the RAO or DPS and concluded that
the property owner does not need to undertake further action. The Applicant's team has evaluated
alternatives to develop a project at the Williams parcel and protect the interests of the WPA and Wetlands
Ordinance. The alternatives evaluated include removal of debris, addressing limited removal of
contaminants of concern encountered during construction, and the removal of these contaminants of
concern. Addressing contaminants of concern as part of development is cost effective for the Applicant,
under the guidelines of a RAM plan. Cleanup and direct disposal of contaminants at the site alone are
very cost restrictive to the Applicant, as removal of soil can be upwards of $400/ton or more depending
on the contaminant of concern. The regulatory method to address contaminants under a RAM plan is
financially feasible. Five alternatives were analyzed by the Applicant's team.
16
Notice of Intent Commercial Redevelopment
No Action Alternative. This is not a feasible alternative as it does not meet the project objective of
developing the land in accordance with RMUD guidelines. This alternative would not result in any
impacts to resource areas; however, it does not provide for limited removal of contaminants of concern
during construction. The potential risk of contaminants of concern have been present since the 1920's and
some are the result of impacts from upgradient sources. The No Action alternative will continue to allow
untreated stormwater to enter the Williams Parcel from upgradient and perpetuate the problems.
Untreated stormwater flowing through the Williams Parcel will continue flowing downstream to Sawins
Pond and other water resources.
Alternative 2. In 2016, the Applicant provided an Environmental Notification Form to the Massachusetts
Environmental Policy Act Office which is part of the Environmental Office of Energy and the
Environment. The proposed project included the removal of contaminated sediment from Sawins Pond
that would be contained on the Williams parcel. In doing so it was proposed that Williams Brook and
BVW on the Williams parcel would be permanently filled and replaced by realigning the stream and
mitigating for BVW loss. The resource areas on the Williams parcel were to be filled with up to 8,000
cubic yards of sediment dredged from Sawins Pond, placed behind a barrier, and capped with 3 -feet of
clean fill. This alternative involved significant impacts to the jurisdictional resource areas on the Williams
Parcel and located additional contaminated materials on the Williams parcel. While that concept plan
quantified impacts to the parcel in conjunction with the adjoining parcel (including Sawins Pond), the
estimated impacts included ±1.39 acres of impervious surface area, ±5 acres of land alteration, ±22,275 sf
of new BVW alteration, ±375 linear feet of new Bank alteration, and ±8,000 cubic yards of LUW
alteration associated with the rubber waste removal from Sawins Pond.
Alternative 2 was deemed not economically feasible and did not propose clean up at the Williams parcel.
Additionally, this alternative results in greater adverse environmental effects on the Williams parcel and
requires significant re -alignment of the stream and entire site with greater resource area impacts.
Therefore, Alternative 2 was not selected as the preferred alternative.
Alternative 3. This design concept developed in 2018 includes relocating BVW from the southern side of
the site to the northern side of the site and the development of an ±8,585 square foot building and
associated parking. The plan included relocating ±366 linear feet of existing stream, creating ±432 linear
feet of new stream channel, and greater than 5,000 sf of potential wetlands lost due to development.
Alternative 3 would result in greater adverse environmental effects on the Williams parcel and requires
significant re -alignment of the stream and entire site with greater resource area impacts. Therefore,
Alternative 3 was not selected as the preferred alternative.
Alternative 4. This alternative proposes development of the parcel in accordance with the RMUD
guidelines and applicable Watertown zoning regulations. Alternative 4 would result in ±4,900 sf of BVW
impacts related to site cleanup in accordance with a RAM Plan and a wetland mitigation plan in
accordance with the WPA Wetlands Ordinance, resulting in an increase to the amount of wetlands at the
parcel.
Alternative 4 would result in greater adverse environmental effects on the Williams parcel and was
therefore not selected as the preferred alternative.
Preferred Alternative. This alternative proposes to develop the parcel in accordance with the RMUD
guidelines and applicable Watertown zoning regulations. It also includes resource area mitigation in
accordance with the WPA and Wetlands Ordinance to BVW and RFA. The Preferred Alternative will
result in a net increase in the square footage of wetlands on the parcel, will include removal of invasive
species and urban refuse, plant native species, and improve the functions and services of the resource
areas which will result in a net ecological benefit to the interests of the WPA and Wetland Ordinance.
17
Notice of Intent Commercial Redevelopment
This will improve and diversity the resource areas. The proposed project will include cleanup at the site in
accordance with a RAM Plan and the parcel will be improved from an ecological standpoint as well as
improving the aesthetics of the local area.
This alternative was selected as the Preferred Alternative as it will result in the least adverse
environmental impacts on the Williams parcel and achieves the project objective of developing a
commercial building.
7.6 Wildlife Habitat Evaluation
As stated at 310 CMR 10.60(3), alterations of wildlife habitat characteristics beyond permissible
thresholds may be restored onsite with the following general conditions to insure that the standards in 310
CMR 10.60(1)(a) is satisfied, including the surface of the replacement area to be created shall be equal to
that of the area that will be lost (10.60(3)(a); the elevation of groundwater relative to the surface of the
replacement area shall be approximately equal to the lost area (10.60(3)(b); the replacement area shall be
located within the same general area as the lost area (10.60(3)(c); interspersion and diversity of
vegetation, water, and other wildlife habitat characteristics of the replacement area shall be similar to the
lost area (10.60(3)(d).
SWCA completed a detailed Wildlife Habitat Evaluation, as outlined in the Massachusetts Wildlife
Habitat Protection Guidance for Inland Wetlands (Wildlife Guidance) (MassDEP 2006), for proposed
impacts to BVW on February 22, 2021 (see Appendix G). The purpose of the wildlife habitat evaluation
was to document important wildlife habitat features in order to demonstrate the project will result in no
adverse effect. The WPA regulations define adverse effects on wildlife habitat as the alteration of any
habitat characteristics listed in 310 CMR 10.62(2) such as plant community, soil structure, and hydrologic
regime. For example, insofar as such alteration will, following two growing seasons of project completion
or the regeneration of replanted trees, substantially reduce its capacity to provide important wildlife
habitat functions listed in 310 CMR 10.60(2), such as shelter, breeding areas, nesting sites, etc.
Proposed impacts to BVW are below the `significance' threshold as outlined in Appendix A of the
Wildlife Guidance (i.e., 5,000 sf); however, SWCA identified several important wildlife habitat
characteristics to be incorporated into the wetland mitigation design. Important wildlife habitat features
identified within the proposed BVW impact area include two standing dead trees approximately <12
inches in diameter (i.e., snags) which provide woodpecker foraging habitat and/or nesting cavity sites,
cover habitat for small to medium sized mammals (e.g., coarse woody debris and dense vegetation), fruit
and mast -producing vegetation, and nesting habitat for birds. The site additionally functions as part of an
important wildlife corridor within a fragmented, urban landscape, connecting to Sawins Pond to the east.
Dense vegetative cover is an important habitat function at the site for nesting birds, small mammals, and
meso mammals. No adverse impacts are proposed to these habitat features as vegetation community will
be improved as a result of the wetland mitigation, shrub enhancement, and the removal of trash and
debris. Plant species included in the wetland restoration seed mix provide nectar sources for pollinators.
Shrubs which provide important wildlife food sources, such as dogwoods (Cornus amomum, C.
racemosa), black elderberry (Sambucus nigra), northern arrowwood (Viburnum dentatum), and were
selected to increase wildlife habitat food and cover value. The addition of native shrub and tree species
will increase the vegetative diversity. The removal of selective invasive species, such as Asian bittersweet
will improve wildlife food value, as bittersweet fruit has been shown to have a deleterious effect on
migrating neotropical songbirds since it is nutritionally inadequate (Smith et al. 2007).
All areas of undisturbed RFA are presumed to be significant for wildlife habitat. However, different
review requirements apply depending on whether the RFA is degraded (310 CMR 10.58(5)). SWCA
18
Notice of Intent Commercial Redevelopment
completed a Detailed Wildlife Habitat Evaluation for proposed RFA impacts to incorporate any potential
significant wildlife habitat features into the mitigation plan, the shrub enhancement plan, and the upland
stabilization area. While important wildlife habitat features such as cover habitat exist within the RFA
area, no adverse impacts are proposed to important wildlife habitat features within RFA as all features are
proposed to be replicated in the wetland mitigation plan. Further, the habitat will be ecologically
improved as higher quality food sources will be planted, vegetative diversity will be increased, selected
invasive species and trash will be removed, and valuable wildlife food source will be increased. Further,
the addition of 768 trees and shrubs will decrease thermal loading within the stream channel, mitigate
stormwater inputs from offsite discharges associated with impervious surface areas (i.e., to the south of
the restoration area), and provide additional cover habitat. No changes to the site functionality as an
important wildlife corridor area are proposed but will be enhanced because of the mitigation.
In accordance with 310 CMR 10.60(3), adverse impacts will be avoided through on -site restoration and
mitigation. The site is not located within Habitat of Potential Regional or Statewide Importance or
certified or documented vernal pool habitat.
The site is not located within Habitat of Potential Regional or Statewide Importance or certified or
potential vernal pool.
8 WATERTOWN WETLAND ORDINANCE
The City of Watertown has enacted a Wetlands Ordinance, which regulates jurisdictional resource areas
beyond the WPA including rivers/streams, wetlands, Bank, LUW, and any land within 200 feet of a river
or perennial stream. The Wetlands Ordinance also has a 150 -foot buffer zone to BVW and Bank as well
as a 50 foot no -build zone. This project proposes work within BVW, Bank, and within 200 -feet of a
stream. The Applicant requests approval to complete the proposed work in the buffer zone and requests a
waiver to the 50 -foot no work zone.
The Applicant has provided an alternatives analysis which illustrates their interest in developing the
project and that there is no reasonable approach that would allow the development in accordance with the
Wetlands Ordinance. The Project provides an opportunity for the Applicant to develop a commercial
building while also providing for partial cleanup of contaminants under a RAM Plan, restoring and
enhancing RFA and BVW, and results in a net ecological improvement over existing conditions at the
Williams parcel.
The Applicant understands that there is not a clear approach that avoids impacts to jurisdictional resource
areas. However, the selected approach avoids and minimizes impacts to jurisdictional resource areas to
the maximum extent practicable while also mitigating for proposed impacts. The proposed mitigation will
improve the ecological quality of the on -site resource areas by restoring and enhancing their functions and
services, thereby protecting the interests of the WPA and Wetland Ordinance. The Applicant is providing
a permit application in accordance with the Wetlands Ordinance, Section H(1)c:

9 SUMMARY
SWCA is submitting this NOI behalf of the Applicant for the construction of a two-story mixed -use
building at Parcel 1236-2-0 located at 0 Arlington Street in Watertown, Massachusetts. The project meets
the requirements of a redevelopment project under 310 CMR 10.58(5) for "abandoned dumping grounds,"
and is being proposed in accordance with the Watertown RMUD zoning regulations. The Williams parcel
has been heavily degraded with fill and debris associated with former uses at the property in the 1900's. A
part of this project work will be conducted in RFA with 22,059 sf in the 0-100 foot and 1,912 sf in the
100 -200 -foot RFA. Work will also include impacts to BVW (4,215 sf), with mitigation for these impacts
being 6,390 sf along the southern side of the site. Buffer zone work will also be incurred with a total of
19,758 sf of work in this area, which will also be restored following site work.
The project proposes to develop a commercial building, which will allow the Applicant an opportunity to
implement cleanup of contaminants of concern when encountered during construction. As such, we
respectively request the Commission issue an Order of Condition under the WPA and the Wetlands
Ordinance in accordance with a request for a variance to the 50 -foot no build zone.

Prior to construction, straw wattle will be installed as shown on the plans and shall include the boundary of the wetland mitigation area.
Project Title:
5.
Topsoil from on -site locations may be used if approved by the project wetland specialist (see note 6). Otherwise, manufactured soil
using equal portions of mineral and organic materials must be used resulting in not less than 10%-12% organic carbon content by dry
weight (or 19%-21% organic matter) as recommended in the ACOE New England District Mitigation Guidelines.

Redevelopment Mitigation Plan
6.
Prior to translocation of topsoil to the wetland mitigation areas, the topsoil source shall be inspected and approved by the project
Parcel ID: 1 236-2-0
wetland specialist. Topsoil used for the wetland mitigation area shall have a texture of sandy loam, have a relatively high organic matter
content, and must not contain invasive species. Otherwise, manufactured soil as specified in note #5 shall be used.
Sheet Title:
7. The mitigation area final grade shall match the adjacent wetland. The area shall be excavated to the level of 12" below finish grade.
The sub -grade shall then be checked by the wetland specialist to ensure proper hydrology has been achieved, and then filled with the
approved soil backfill (see notes 5 and 6). Any compaction caused by excavation shall be alleviated and a friable "planting bed"
consistency shall be prepared.

approved by the Conservation Commission. The wetland mitigation areas proposed to be planted with native woody and herbaceous
species, then seeded with native seed. (See Plant Mitigation Schedule)

11.
The mitigation area shall be monitored for noxious and invasive non -indigenous weed species according to the "Massachusetts
Revisions:
Invasive Plants Advisory Group" plant list. Invasive plant species found on site include; Phalaris arundinacea, Phragmites australis,
and Celastrus orbiculatus. These and all other state listed invasive plant species shall be reported and removed from the mitigation
area if found.
12.
/
The environmental scientist will notify the Watertown Conservation Commission if "Plants Noted as Invasive" are observed during the
monitoring events within 30 days of discovery.
13.
For each species determined to be present, an environmental scientist will record locations, relative abundance, factors important to
establishing a threat level, and corrective measures to be taken. Corrective measures shall depend on the species and density of
invasive species. Annual reports shall be provided by December 30th of each year until the monitoring period has ended.
14.

Annual reports including color photographs and a description of all monitoring activities shall be provided at the Conservation
Commission's request. A request for a Certificate of Compliance shall be submitted following the 2nd year of monitoring showing
compliance with project goals.
Scale: As shown
15.
The erosion control barrier between the wetlands and mitigation areas shall be removed upon stabilization of the mitigation areas and
the area raked to eliminate any berm that may be present between the wetland mitigation areas and the adjacent BVW. Any bare soil
that results from the removal of the erosion controls shall be seeded with the specified seed mix. All stakes and twine shall be removed.
