Please note that this effort is specific to wetland resources; it does not evaluate constraints related to local planning or zoning requirements, historical or cultural significance, nor does it evaluate the potential for soil, air, or water contamination. The wetland investigation was performed in accordance with the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (M.G.L. Ch. 131, § 40) and regulations (310 CMR 10.00 et seq.); Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344); Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) publication “Massachusetts Handbook for Delineation of Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (2022); the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual (1987); the Northcentral and Northeast Regional Supplement (2012); and the Town of Barnstable Wetlands Protection Bylaw and Regulations (Chapter 237) (the “Bylaw”) and Regulations (Part VII). The site investigation was limited to wetland areas within 100 feet and perennial streams within 200 feet of three specific locations located off Straightway and Smith Street, as described in more detail below (i.e., Study Area). The Study Area does not include the entire parcels or off-property areas. The site was reviewed under appropriate field conditions, i.e., no snow cover or frozen ground. The following data sources were examined prior to the site investigation: • Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM); • United States Geological Survey Topographic Quadrangle; • MassGIS MassDEP Wetland and Hydrography Datalayers; • National Wetland Inventory (NWI) Maps; • MassGIS Natural Heritage Atlas Datalayers; and • United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) Soil Survey. 500A Washington Street, Quincy, MA 02169 Wetland Summary Letter Straightway & Smith Street Straightway Water Treatment Facility Barnstable, Massachusetts 2 1.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS The Study Area consists of three (3) specific areas on three (3) separate parcels at and near the existing water treatment facility located off Straightway and Smith Street in Barnstable, Massachusetts (See Figure 1 – USGS Map and Figure 2 – Aerial Map). These areas total approximately 6.6-acres of land as identified in a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Town of Barnstable for survey services related to a New Straightway Water Treatment Facility, and are generally described below: • Area 1 (Portion of Map 267, Lot 99) is located at 132 Smith Street and contains a one-story building and public water supply well, and associated parking area. Halls Creek is located immediately to the east, and an unnamed perennial stream is located immediately to the west. • Area 2 (Portion of Map 267, Parcel 190) is located north of Area 1 and contains a public water supply well and undeveloped areas. Simmons Pond is located immediately to the east. • Area 3 (Portion of Map 268, Lot 99) is located at 228 Straightway and contains the existing water treatment plant. Area 3 is bound by Straightway to the west, residential development to the west and south, a large pond to the north, and wetland areas to the east. A review of the current MassGIS data layer for the Massachusetts Natural Heritage Atlas (effective August 1, 2021) under the Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program (NHESP) indicates that no portion of the Study Area is located within Estimated Habitat of Rare Wildlife or Priority Habitat of Rare Species (See Figure 3 – NHESP Map). No Certified or Potential Vernal Pools (CVP/PVP) under the jurisdiction of the Wetlands Protection Act Regulations (310 CMR 10.00 et seq.) or the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (321 CMR 10.00 et seq.) are mapped by NHESP in the Study Area. According to the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map for Barnstable County, Map Number 25001C0568J, effective July 16, 2014, most of the Study Area is located in Zone X, which is classified as an area of minimal flooding (See Figure 4 – FEMA Map). Study Areas 2 and 3 are located within an area within the 0.2% Annual Chance Flood Hazard (500-year flood). Therefore, the Study Area is not located within the 100-year floodplain and Bordering Land Subject to Flooding is not present. The Study Area is not located within an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC), Outstanding Resource Water (ORW), or Watershed Protection Area. The Study Area is located within a MassDEP Zone I and Zone II Wellhead Protection Area. 2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE AREAS Wetland resource areas observed within and near the Study Area include Inland Bank, Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVW), Land Under Water Bodies and Waterways (LUWW), and Riverfront Area. Under the WPA and Bylaw, the resource areas within the Study Area are defined as follows. 500A Washington Street, Quincy, MA 02169 Wetland Summary Letter Straightway & Smith Street Straightway Water Treatment Facility Barnstable, Massachusetts 3 2.1 Inland Bank Section 310 CMR 10.54 of the WPA defines a Bank as the portion of the land surface which normally abuts and confines a water body. It occurs between a water body and a vegetated bordering wetland and adjacent flood plain, or, in the absence of these, it occurs between a water body and an upland. The upper boundary of a Bank is the first observable break in the slope or the mean annual flood level, whichever is lower. The lower boundary of a Bank is the mean annual low flow level. The delineated Banks of three separate streams are described below. The Bylaw does not include any further definition of Bank. 2.2 Bordering Vegetated Wetlands Section 310 CMR 10.55 of the WPA defines BVW 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. The boundary of Bordering Vegetated Wetlands is the line within which 50% or more of the vegetational community consists of wetland indicator plants and saturated or inundated conditions exist. Wetland indicator plants are also those classified in the indicator categories of Facultative, Facultative+, Facultative Wetland-, Facultative Wetland, Facultative Wetland+, or Obligate Wetland in the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: Massachusetts (Fish & Wildlife Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, 1988) or plants exhibiting physiological or morphological adaptations to life in saturated or inundated conditions. The delineated areas of BVW are described below. The Bylaw does not include any further definition of BVW. 2.3 Land Under Water Bodies and Waterways Section 310 CMR 10.56 of the WPA defines LUWW 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. The physical characteristics and location of Land Under Water Bodies and Waterways specified in 310 CMR 10.56(2)(a) are critical to the protection of the interests specified in 310 CMR 10.56(1). The boundary of Land Under Water Bodies and Waterways is the mean annual low water level. This resource area is located below the edge of Bank or the Mean Annual High Water (MAHW) line of Halls Creek and two unnamed perennial streams, therefore it is not field delineated. The Bylaw does not include any further definition of LUWW. 2.4 Riverfront Area Under Section 310 CMR 10.58 of the WPA, the Riverfront Area is the area of land between a river's mean annual high-water line measured horizontally outward from the river and a parallel line located 200 feet away. The riverfront area may include or overlap other resource areas or their buffer zones. Furthermore, the MAHW line is the line that is apparent from visible markings or changes in the character of soils or vegetation due to the prolonged presence of water and that distinguishes between predominantly aquatic and predominantly terrestrial land. Field indicators of bankfull conditions shall be used to determine the mean annual high-water line. Bankfull field indicators include but are not limited to: changes in slope, changes in vegetation, stain lines, top of pointbars, changes in bank materials, or bank undercuts. 500A Washington Street, Quincy, MA 02169 Wetland Summary Letter Straightway & Smith Street Straightway Water Treatment Facility Barnstable, Massachusetts 4 Three separate streams are depicted as perennial on the most recent USGS mapping. Therefore the 200-Foot Riverfront Area extends landward from the MAHW line of each of the streams, which in this case is coincident with the Inland Bank, described below as Streams 1, 2 and 3. The Bylaw does not include any further definition of Riverfront Area. 2.5 Vegetated Wetlands Section 237-13 of the Town of Barnstable Wetland Regulations defines Vegetated Wetlands as the following: Any area of at least 500 square feet where surface or ground water, or ice, at or near the surface of the ground support a plant community dominated (at least 50%) by wetland species. 2.6 Resource Area Descriptions Wetland A Wetland A is a fringe BVW associated with an unnamed perennial stream (Stream 1 described below), located west of Study Area 1. The BVW boundary is delineated with pink survey tape numbered sequentially with flag series WFA-1 to WFA-9. The wetland consists of a mixed red maple/black tupelo swamp vegetated with a mix of red maple (Acer rubrum), black tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica), American elm (Ulmus americana), common greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), common winterberry (Ilex verticillata), cinnamon fern (Osmundastrum cinnamomea), and poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans). Soils generally consist of an organic rich surface horizon overlying a depleted matrix and redoximorphic features (concentrations) near the surface. The wetland boundary follows a well-defined topographic break. Indicators of wetland hydrology include shallow soil saturation and drainage patterns. Wetland B Wetland B is a large BVW associated with Halls Creek and Simmons Pond. The wetland boundary near Area 1 is delineated with pink survey tape numbered sequentially with flag series WFB-1 to WFB-14. The wetland boundary near Area 2 is delineated with pink survey tape numbered sequentially with flag series WFB-100 to WFB-122. Both wetland areas are similar in vegetative community, consisting of a mix of red maple, black tupelo, common greenbrier, sweet pepperbush, northern arrowwood, inkberry (Ilex opaca), and common winterberry. White pine (Pinus strobus) and pitch pine (Pinus rigida) were also be observed in the wetland. Soils consist of an approximate six- to eight-inch layer of organic rich mineral overlying depleted sand with spodic development. Hydrological indicators include saturated soils, drainage patterns, and evidence of inundation. Wetland C Wetland C is a large BVW located north and east of Study Area 3. The wetland boundary is delineated with pink survey tape numbered sequentially with flag series WFC-1 to WFC-12, and WFC-100 to WFC-120. 500A Washington Street, Quincy, MA 02169 Wetland Summary Letter Straightway & Smith Street Straightway Water Treatment Facility Barnstable, Massachusetts 5 The portion of the wetland delineated by flag series WFC-1 to WFC-12 appears to demarcate the edge of a former cranberry bog. This fringe wetland is vegetated with a mix of pussy willow (Salix discolor), buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis), common greenbrier, oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus), and poison ivy. The portion of the wetland delineated by series WFC-100 to WFC1-120 delineates the fringe of a large pond located north of the Study Area, and is vegetated with plant species similar to the WFC-1 series. These two wetland areas are hydrologically connected by Stream 3 (described below). Stream 1 – Unnamed Perennial Stream The USGS map depicts an unnamed perennial stream originating approximately 600 feet northwest of Study Area 1. The stream flows south through Wetland A and drains south under Smith Street via a twelve- inch culvert. The Bank/MAHW lines were field delineated with blue survey flagging numbered sequentially from BF1-1 to BF1-9. The Banks are steep and well defined and measure approximately two to four feet wide. There was a trickle of water at the time of the site visit, and there were many upstream segments of the channel dry with no flow. Vegetation growing along the streams includes red maple, sweet pepperbush and common greenbrier. The MAHW line corresponds with a topographic break in slope. Inland Bank and the MAHW line are coincident. As mentioned above, the stream is depicted as perennial on the USGS map, and therefore presumed to be perennial and subject to the provisions of the 200-Foot Riverfront Area per 310 CMR 10.58(2)(a)(1). However, given the small size of the streams contributing watershed, and that portions of the stream were observed dry during the site visit, it is likely the stream is not actually perennial. The presumption that the stream is perennial may be overcome, in part, through observations of no-flow once a day over any four days in a consecutive twelve-month period, in accordance with the provisions outline in 310 CMR 10.58(2(1)(d). Stream 2 – Halls Brook Halls Brook is located east of Study Area 1 and originates at the outlet of Simmons Pond. The western Bank/MAHW line was delineated with blue survey flagging numbered sequentially from BF2-1 to BF2-14. The stream is channelized with little sinuosity measuring approximately six to sixteen feet wide. A moderate flow of ten to twelve inches of water was observed at the time of the site visit. The Banks are well vegetated with a mix of sweet pepperbush, inkberry, speckled alder (Alnus rugosa), common greenbrier, black tupelo, highbush blueberry. The MAHW line corresponds with a topographic break in slope. Inland Bank and the MAHW line are coincident. Stream 3 – Unnamed Perennial Stream The USGS map depicts a small segment of an unnamed perennial stream between two ponded areas, approximately 200 feet east of Study Area 1. The Banks/MAHW lines were field delineated with blue survey flagging numbered sequentially from BF3-1 to BF3-5. The Banks are steep and well defined and measure approximately two to four feet wide. The channel was observed dry at the time of the site visit. Vegetation growing along the streams includes red maple, sweet pepperbush, and common greenbrier. The MAHW line corresponds with a topographic break in slope. and is coincident with Inland Bank. 500A Washington Street, Quincy, MA 02169 Wetland Summary Letter Straightway & Smith Street Straightway Water Treatment Facility Barnstable, Massachusetts 6 Similar to Stream 1, this stream segment is depicted as perennial on the USGS map, and therefore presumed to be perennial and subject to the provisions of the 200-Foot Riverfront Area per 310 CMR 10.58(2)(a)(1). However, given the small size of the streams contributing watershed, and that the stream was observed dry during the site visit, it is likely the stream is not actually perennial. The presumption that the stream is perennial may be overcome, in part, through observations of no-flow once a day over any four days in a consecutive twelve-month period, in accordance with the provisions outlined in 310 CMR 10.58(2(1)(d). 2.7 Barnstable Wetlands Protection Bylaw Chapter 704 Wetlands and Buffer Zone Activity establishes performance standards for work occurring within the 100-Foot Buffer Zone to wetland resource areas (Wetland Series A, B, and C). Chapter 704.3 requires a 50-foot undisturbed buffer zone remain intact from the boundary of resource areas. Work within this area cannot be approved without proving hardship or overcoming the presumption that work will not impact the interests of the WPA or Bylaw. The Bylaw and Regulations require other design aspects (i.e., mitigation, replication, waivers, etc.) that should be reviewed prior to any site development.
