SITE REVIEW MEMO
TO: Atlantic Design Engineers, Inc.
FROM: Brad Holmes
DATE: January 18, 2024
RE: 810 Wakeby Road, Barnstable
Per your request, Environmental Consulting & Restoration, LLC (ECR) performed a review of the existing
conditions at 810 Wakeby Road in Barnstable (the Site) on January 17, 2024. The purpose of the review
was to identify wetland resource areas on or near the site. The site is located to the north of Wakeby
Road and consists of a sand/gravel quarry no longer in operation. Most of the site is disturbed from the
historic mining activities with exposed soils throughout and some areas of spares vegetation – many
areas that have been colonized by Japanese Knotweed, a non-native invasive species. The southern-
most portion of the site is being utilized for equipment and material storage. Native, upland woodlands
exist immediately east and west of the site that are dominated by upland species commonly found in the
area including Pitch Pine (Pinus rigida), Oak (Quercus spp.), Black Huckleberry (Gaylussacia baccata),
etc. During the site review, ECR analyzed existing vegetation and performed several soil evaluations
(hand auguring) throughout the site, which resulted in finding upland conditions and a lack of wetland
areas. As a result of ECR’s site review and review of available on-line databases, ECR is able to confirm
that the site and the land within 100 feet of the site do not contain wetland resource areas as defined by
the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and/or Town of Barnstable Wetland Bylaw. The nearest
mapped wetland system, also observed from the property line by ECR, is located on a lot immediately
abutting the northeastern-most portion of the site. As shown on the Mass Mapper database, the nearest
edge of this vegetated wetland is approximately 120 feet from the site; this is consistent with ECR’s
observations in the field. Further review of the Mass Mapper database reveals the following:
• The site is not located within Estimated or Priority Habitats of Rare Species according to the
Massachusetts Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program (MaNHESP).
• The site does not contain Certified Vernal Pools according to the MaNHESP.
• The site does not contain USGS mapped streams.
• The site is not located within an area mapped as Land Subject to Flooding (FEMA flood zones).
• The site is not located within an Area of Critical Environmental Concern.
As a result of ECR’s site review, ECR is able to confirm that the site does not contain wetland resource
areas or buffer zones as defined in the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and its implementing
Regulations found at 310 CMR 10.00 or the Town of Barnstable Wetlands Bylaw and associated
Regulations. Upon review of this site review memo, please contact me at (617) 529 – 3792 or
brad@ecrwetlands.com with any questions or requests for additional information.
Thank you,
