Dear Mr.Perry:
On behalf of the Town of Barnstable,I am hereby submitting a Chapter 91 Permit application
for the above-referenced project.,Please find enclosed one(1)copy of the Chapter 91 license

The Town of Barnstable,in cooperation with the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers(USACE), is
proposing the restoration of salt marsh and subtidal embayment within the Stewart's Creek
estuary, located in Hyannis,Massachusetts. The restoration project includes the installation of
a new larger culvert under Ocean Avenue to restore tidal flushing to Stewart's Creek,as well .
as the restoration of salt marsh,in part through the use of dredge sediments generated from.
the restoration of the subtidal area.This restoration project is intended to: 1)increase the rate
of flushing to the estuarine/marsh ecosystem by replacing the existing culvert under Ocean
Avenue with a larger culvert; 2)restore the subtidal area to depths better suited for fish and
wildlife;3)expose suitable substrates for optimum benthic communities;and 4)restore salt
marsh in the northern portion of lower Stewart's Creek on material dredged during subtidal
restoration. Restored habitats within the project area will include approximately 4.2 acres of
salt marsh, 1.5 acres of unvegetated intertidal habitat(Coastal Beach),4.3 acres of subtidal
embayment(a tidal creek),and 4.0 acres of Bordering Vegetated Wetlands(BVW). The area
of salt marsh created by dredged sediment will be approximately 2 acres:
