Treatment methods include the bundle, cut, and wipe herbicide application technique. Following the initial treatment, regrowth will be treated with hand-held sponge applicators, applied to the foliage, another two to five time in the late summer and fall. This method will require approximately three years of follow-up treatments to reach a succesful level of control. Managing the phragmites will allow for the existing native seed bank to regenerate, additionally, native species will begin to colonize the area when they are released from competition with the phragmites. The project is being filed as an Ecological Restoration Limited Project. The required WPA Form 3 Appendix A: Ecological Restoration Limited Project Check list has been submitted with the filling and the required notification was submitted to the Environmental Monitor on 2/26/24. The proposed invasive species management will further at least the interests of the protection of the wildlife habitat, by allowing the native seed bank to regenerate and will not destroy or impair any portion of the Bordering Vegetated Wetland, or adjacent Salt Marsh in accordance with 310 CMR l0.55 (4)(a), and 10.32 (3) WETLAND RESOURCE AREAS The jurisdictional wetland resource areas under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (the Act): 310 CMR 10.00 and the Town of Barnstable Wetland Protection Regulations (Barnstable Bylaw) identified on site include: • Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage (LSCSF) • Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVW) • Salt Marsh PERFORMANCE STANDARDS - BARNSTABLE TOWN CHAPTER 237 INTERESTS & REGULATION OF ACTIVITY WITHIN THE 100’ BUFFER ZONE Proposed work will occur within LSCSF, BVW, Salt Marsh, and in the buffer zones to BVW and Salt Marsh. Compliance with the performance standards set forth by the Barnstbale Town Code Chapter 704 and Chapter 237 Interests are described below. Groundwater Supply and Quality: Restoring a native plant community within the proposed project areas will aid in slowing and infiltration stormwater from the property. Storm Damage Prevention/Flood Control: The proposed project will have no negative effect on the project areas ability to buffer, store, or divert flood waters. Erosion and Sedimentation Control: The project will have no impact on the present erosion regime at the site. Prevention of Pollution: Restoring a native plant community within the proposed project areas will aid in slowing and infiltration stormwater from the property. Wildlife Habitat: The proposed vegetation management throughout the project area will provide new extensive habitat benefits. This will represent an improvement of the buffer relative to existing conditions. Fisheries: The site is not within close proximity to a fishery. Shellfish Habitat: The site is not within close proximity to shellfish habitat, there will be no negative impact to shellfish 34 habitat. Aesthetics: The proposed management of a State-listed invasive species and restoration of a native plant community will improve the natural aesthetics of the project area. Cumulative Effects: No cumulative effects are foreseen. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS - MASSACHUSETTS WETLANDS PROTECTION ACT Compliance with the performance standards set forth by the Massachusetts wetlands regulations (310 CMR 10.00) are described below under the Resource Area headings. The following local regulations were reviewed for this project: 10.32 Salt Marshes According to Sec. 10.32(3), a proposed project in a salt marsh, on lands within 100 feet of a salt marsh, or in a body of water adjacent to a salt marsh shall not destroy any portion of the salt marsh and shall not have an adverse effect on the productivity of the salt marsh. Alterations in growth, distribution and composition of salt marsh vegetation shall be considered in evaluating adverse effects on productivity. 310 CMR 10.32(3) shall not be construed to prohibit the harvesting of salt hay. • No alterations of the Salt Marsh are proposed or expected from the management of State-listed invasive plant species (Phragmites australis) and restoration of native plant communities.The proposed actions to manage the State-listed invasive species will improve the health and likely increase the productivity of the Salt Marsh. (4) Notwithstanding the provisions of 310 CMR 10.32(3), a small project within a salt marsh, such as an elevated walkway or other structure which has no adverse effects other than blocking sunlight from the underlying vegetation for a portion of each day, may be permitted if such a project complies with all other applicable requirements of 310 CMR 10.21 through 10.37. • Does not apply. No structure is proposed with this project. (5) Notwithstanding the provisions of 310 CMR 10.32(3), a project which will restore or rehabilitate a salt marsh, or create a salt marsh, may be permitted in accordance with 310 CMR 10.11 through 10.14, 10.24(8), and/or 10.53(4). • Does not apply. Only the management of State-listed invasive plant species within a small portion of the existing Salt Marsh. (6) Notwithstanding the provisions of 310 CMR 10.32(3) through (5), no project may be permitted which will have any adverse effect on specified habitat sites of Rare Species, as identified by procedures established under 310 CMR 10.37. • No habitat of Rare Species have been mapped on this property. 10.55 Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (Wet Meadows, Mashes, Swamps and Bogs) According to Section 10.55 (4)(a), Where the presumption set forth in 310 CMR 10.55(3) is not overcome, any proposed work in a Bordering Vegetated Wetland shall not destroy or otherwise impair any portion of said area. • The proposed management of the State-listed invasive plant species (Phragmites australis) and restora- tion of native plant species within the Bordering Vegetated Wetland will increase the native plant species diversity and thus increase the benefit being provided to wider range of wildlife. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of 310 CMR 10.55(4)(a), the issuing authority may issue an Order of Conditions permitting work which results in the loss of up to 5000 square feet of Bordering Vegetated Wetland when said area is replaced in ac- cordance with the following general conditions and any additional, specific conditions the issuing authority deems necessary to ensure that the replacement area will function in a manner similar to the area that will be lost: • The proposed project will not result in a loss of any square foot of Bordering Vegetated Wetland and no replacement being proposed. 35 Notification to Environmental Monitor under 310 CMR 10.11 To: Environmental Monitor From: Wilkinson Ecological Design, Inc.

The project includes the management of approximately 20,000 square feet of invasive phragmites (Phragmites australis) within the bordering vegetated wetland (BVW), salt marsh, and Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage (LSCSF) adjacent to the Centerville River. Phragmites Management The most effective method of treating phragmites is via a targeted herbicide application, which impacts the plant’s robust and resilient root systems. Eradication of phragmites requires well-timed treatments throughout the growing season when the plants have depleted their carbohydrate stores, and herbicide can effectively translocate to the root systems. The bundle, cut, and wipe application technique is currently the most effective method for efficiently controlling phragmites. Properly administered by state- licensed applicators, this method is impactful and tends to eradicate a greater percentage of the plant’s roots when compared to other methods. Prior to treatment, the phragmites will be mown to within 6 inches of the ground with a mechanical mower where feasible, or with hand tools, in spring/early summer. After the phragmites have regrown to waist height (usually in late summer/early fall), treatment using the bundle, cut, and wipe herbicide application technique will commence. If treatment commences later in the summer, the phragmites will simply be cut to waist height prior to treatment. This application technique entails gathering an armful of contiguous phragmites stalks and tying them firmly with a length of sisal, manila, or another biodegradable twine, at waist height. The bundle is cut with sharp shears just above the twine, and the top of the cut stalks are painted with a diluted solution of herbicide approved for wetland use. A concentrated amount of herbicide is applied to moisten the fresh-cut edge of each stem. In areas where stem densities are low and bundling is not possible, or where phragmites is growing amongst native shrubs, individual stems are cut and treated in the same manner as above to prevent native shrubs from coming into contact with the herbicide. Since the bundle, cut, and wipe application method targets individual stems, it does not produce any over- spray or chemical drift associated with foliar herbicide applications. After the initial treatment, regrowth will be treated with hand-held sponge applicators, applied to the foliage, another two to five times in late summer and fall. This method will require approximately three years of follow-up treatments to reach a successful level of control. Where phragmites has been treated, the native seed bank will regenerate. As the root systems of treated phragmites begin to decay, they release substantial carbohydrates into the soil and stimulate the native seed bank. No replanting is proposed within the BVW or salt marsh. In addition to the regeneration of the native seed bank, adjacent native species will begin to colonize the area when they are released from competition with the phragmites. Ongoing Maintenance Invasive plants generally take three-to-five years of active management to reach a level of successful control. After the spring of year four, the management plan should be assessed and re-evaluated. Annual monitoring and minimal maintenance should be an ongoing activity. Ongoing invasive plant management is typically carried out two-to-five times per year depending on the site conditions and response of the target plant species. This management strategy will maintain the restored plant community by releasing the native seed bank and minimizing the recolonization of invasive plant species. Invasive plant removal is recommended to be an ongoing part of the life of the Order of Conditions for this project in order to maintain the restored condition of the plant communities on the property. Ongoing invasive plant removal is typically carried out three to five times per year depending on the site conditions and client preference. We ask that this condition be incorporated into the Special Conditions of the Order. 2 Three Year Land Management Time Line Summer/Fall 2024 • Mow phragmites stalks to prepare for summer treatments if early enough in growing season. • Obtain a WM04 permit from the State to treat phragmites within the project area. • Treat phragmites reed late in the growing season using the bundle, cut and wipe technique. • Continue follow-up treatment another two to five times during the growing season, as phragmites regrows. Winter/Spring 2025 • Monitor plant response to earlier management treatments and calibrate follow-up treatments accordingly. • Mow dead phragmites stalks. Summer/Fall 2025 • Obtain a WM04 permit from the State to treat phragmites within the project area. • Treat regrown phragmites reed with a hand-held sponge application two to five times over the growing season. Winter/Spring 2026 • Monitor plant response to earlier management treatments and calibrate follow-up treatments accordingly. Summer/Fall 2026 • Obtain a WM04 permit from the state to treat phragmites within the project area. • Treat regrown phragmites reed with a hand-held sponge application two to five times over the growing season. General Notes: • Herbicides used are to be applied by knowledgeable, Massachusetts licensed individuals only. • All herbicide applications will avoid non-target native species. • All herbicides used near open water will be approved for wetland use. 3 1 2 Site Photo Site Photo PROPOSED PHRAGMITES REMOVAL AREA 11,300 ± SQ FT 21 WATERMAN FARM ROAD PROPOSED PHRAGMITES REMOVAL AREA ON TOWN LAND 8700 ± SQ FT 23 WATERMAN FARM ROAD 29 WATERMAN FARM ROAD CENTERVILLE RIVER THIS DRAWING AND ALL IDEAS EMBODIED THEREIN IS PROPRIETARY INFORMATION OF WILKINSON ECOLOGICAL DESIGN, INC.
