Barnstable Dear Ms. Karle and Commissioners: Orenda Wildlife Land Trust is submitting a Request for Determination of Applicability to conduct tree cutting and vegetation management at two of our adjacent wildlife sanctuaries for the purpose of maintaining and restoring active nesting habitat for the Northern Diamondback Terrapin. These sanctuaries are located in West Barnstable. The project occurs within the jurisdictional area of the flood plain and extend approximately to the 75 ft wetland buffer line. The area is also partially within the NHESP Priority Habitat for Rare Species and the Great Marsh ACEC. Please find the Request for Determination form attached along with all supporting documents, including comments from NHESP on this proposal. A copy of this application was sent to the Mass Department of Environmental Protection regional office as well.

Barnstable Project Description Area Description: The project is located at 210 and 194 Meadow Lane, West Barnstable. These properties are undeveloped wildlife sanctuaries owned by Orenda Wildlife Land Trust. 210 Meadow Lane extends into the Barnstable Great Marsh with some upland forest habitat along its southern edge, and 194 Meadow Lane is primarily a shrinking meadow habitat and nesting ground for the Northern Diamondback Terrapin. This historic meadow is slowly being succeeded by a mix of cedars, black cherries, oaks and pitch pines. The site is accessible at the end of Meadow Lane, a public way off Rte 6A in West Barnstable. The project area is the level upland area between these two parcels. The project area lies partially withing the state-designated Sandy Neck/ Great Marsh Area of Critical Environmental Concern, as well as the NHESP Priority Habitat for Rare Species. Most of the project area is located on land subject to coastal storm flowage (FEMA AE Flood Zone). A small portion of the project area extends inside the 100 ft wetland buffer as well. The wetland boundary was flagged by Michael Ball of Marsh Matters Environmental on January 15th, 2024. He also provided an aerial map of the approximate wetland border and buffers (See Attachment B). Wildlife Context: Orenda’s Terrapin Nest Protection Success The Northern Diamondback Terrapin, a threatened species, have been using this site for nesting for many years. Protection of this species and habitat was a primary reason for Orenda acquiring 194 Meadow Lane in 2017. Through the efforts of our Terrapin Protection Coordinator and a dedicated cohort of volunteers, Orenda has established a successful nest protection program for the Northern Diamondback Terrapin at the project area in question. After Orenda took possession of the site, nesting was confirmed in 2020 through observational data collection over the course of that summer. In 2021, Orenda applied for and was granted the permitting to conduct nest protection using predator exclusion devices. The 2022 nest protection efforts 20240319 RDA Orenda 194 & 210 Meadow Ln resulted 7 protected nests and 26 depredated nests. But with increased volunteer support in 2023 we identified 37 nests total, with 24 nests protected, 3 depredated and 10 successful wild nests (without protection) in this less than two-acre nesting area. During the 2023 nesting season, our team released 59 live hatchlings, and an additional 315 hatchlings were estimated to have left the nest independently. These estimates are based on the number egg shards found during nest excavation. This success story, both for the terrapins and the strength of our volunteer program, has urged us to seek permission to maintain and expand the nesting site to accommodate the Diamondback Terrapin and their tendency towards site fidelity. Due to the success of our nest protection program, we expect to have greater numbers in the years to come, but this nesting site is starting to shrink as it becomes reforested as evidenced by aerial photos of this location over the last 20+ years available through the Town. Orenda’s team has seen reforestation shading out and encroaching on active nesting sites within the last three years of nest protection alone. This work will maintain existing nesting sites and make room for greater numbers in the future, ultimately have a positive impact on Diamondback Terrapin numbers for the Great Marsh in the years to come. Activity Description: The purpose of this project is to expand already existing nesting habitat for the Northern Diamondback Terrapin through selective tree cutting and removal of underbrush in the historic meadow. The following activities outline the scope of the work that will take place within the area detailed in blue in Figure 1 (see below): -Cutting at, ground level, small and medium sized scrub oak and pine trees. -Removal of dense underbrush (green briar, beach plum, small oaks) -Pulling of grasses and small underbrush to create “postage stamp” nesting sites, squares of open sand for nesting sites. These open sites allow for more accurate nest monitoring. -Seeding some native grasses where applicable to keep bear ground areas after vegetation removal limited to the nesting locations. -Planting a buffer of native shrubs (winterberry and beach plumb) along the neighbor’s fence line to add bird habitat and help offset some of the other vegetation removal. We will not be grading or changing the elevation of the site, nor affecting a change in flood storage. We will not be removing any stumps or using herbicides at this location. Due to the capacity of our organization, we will be conducting this working over the course of the maximum three-year permit duration as we have volunteer support available. We are requesting confirmation that the work outlined above does not require a Notice of Intent. 20240319 RDA Orenda 194 & 210 Meadow Ln Data provided by Marsh Matters Environmental and Orenda Wildlife Land Trust THE LOCATIONS OF ALL JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARIES SHOWN ON THIS FIGURE ARE SKETCHED AS APPROXIMATE AND SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR PROJECT PLANNING AND REGULATORY REVIEW PURPOSES.
