Re: 10-Year Comprehensive Dredging & Beach Nourishment – Notice of Intent
Dear Conservation Commission Chair:
On behalf of the Town of Barnstable (Town) enclosed is the Notice of Intent Application and supplemental
documentation for the above-referenced project. The Town is seeking to perform dredging within a total of
nineteen (19) existing navigation channels and basin areas under a town-wide 10-year Comprehensive Permit
(CP). Proposed dredging and nourishment sites are located within the following four (4) Regions of the Town:
Barnstable Harbor/Sandy Neck, Centerville Harbor, Three Bays and Prince Cove. Activities authorized by the
CP will allow for dredging within ±98 acres of established navigable waterways and beneficial reuse of dredge
sediments to restore, preserve and enhance ±39 acres of eroded shoreline areas over a 10 -year period
throughout the Town of Barnstable. The proposed project has been designed and will be implemented using
the best available measures to avoid/minimize adverse impacts to coastal resource areas. Details of the
proposed work are presented in the documentation submitted herein.
We respectfully request that your office please confirm receipt of this NOI application, and that the proposed
project may be placed on the March 4, 2025, public hearing agenda. Should you have any questions or require
additional information, please feel free to contact James Hill, P.E. at (410) 610 -1236, or via email at
james.hill@foth.com.

Form 3 (Notice of
Intent).
B. Fees
Fee should be calculated using the following process & worksheet. Please see Instructions before
filling out worksheet.
Step 1/Type of Activity: Describe each type of activity that will occur in wetland resource area and buffer zone.
Step 2/Number of Activities: Identify the number of each type of activity.
Step 3/Individual Activity Fee: Identify each activity fee from the six project categories listed in the instructions.
Step 4/Subtotal Activity Fee: Multiply the number of activities (identified in Step 2) times the fee per category
(identified in Step 3) to reach a subtotal fee amount. Note: If any of these activities are in a Riverfront Area in
addition to another Resource Area or the Buffer Zone, the fee per activity should be multiplied by 1.5 and then
added to the subtotal amount.
Step 5/Total Project Fee: Determine the total project fee by adding the subtotal amounts from Step 4.
Step 6/Fee Payments: To calculate the state share of the fee, divide the total fee in half and subtract $12.50. To
