Re: After-the-Fact NOI Filing Riverfront Area Restoration Water Street between Shapleigh Avenue and Riverside Avenue Haverhill, Massachusetts File P4282

Ms. Accardi and Commission Members:

On behalf of the Haverhill Department of Public Works (DPW), Nover-Armstrong Associates, Inc. and Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. (GPI) are submitting this After-the-Fact Notice of Intent for planting of mostly trees along approximately 3,000 linear feet of riparian buffer to the Merrimack River. This riparian restoration is being conducted to mitigate for the cutting of deciduous trees along the river’s bank and riparian buffer as ordered by the Enforcement Order issued to the DPW on April 20, 2017. The DPW had received a Negative Determination from the Commission for specific and conditioned Invasive Species Management along the Bank in the area. The Determination, however, expired on April 1, 2016 after which, the cutting occurred. This After-the-Fact NOI fully describes the removal of larger diameter deciduous trees along the river.

The After-the-Fact Notice of Intent (NOI) and associated documents, are being filed under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (M.G.L. Chapter 131, Section 40 – the Act) and the City of Haverhill Wetlands Ordinance (Chapter 253 – the Ordinance). It is being filed concurrently with the MA Division of Fish and Wildlife’s NHESP as work occurred within mapped NHESP Estimated Habitats of Rare Wildlife and Priority Habitats of Rare Species.

We look forward to presenting this restoration project to the Commission. In the mean-time, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely Nover-Armstrong Associates, Inc.

Riverine Buffer Restoration - Water Street between Shapleigh and Riverside Avenue Haverhill, MA WPA Form 3 – Notice of Intent Narrative 1 WPA FORM 3 – NOTICE OF INTENT NARRATIVE

1.0 Introduction

This after-the-fact NOI application is submitted pursuant to an Enforcement Order issued by the Haverhill Conservation Commission on April 20, 2017 for the cutting and removal of trees and other vegetation on and along the Bank and within the Riverfront Area of the Merrimack River in the City of Haverhill, Massachusetts. The proposed project going forward involves planting of native species to mitigate the recent removal of mature trees.

The Haverhill Department of Public Works (DPW) received a Negative Determination of Applicability (DOA) from the Commission on April 1, 2013, permitting ”Thinning of Woody Vegetation” along the Bank of the Merrimack River on Water Street between John Ward and Lincoln Avenues. The DOA stipulated that the Work would be performed as outlined and conditioned in Stantec Consulting Services’ January 24, 2013 letter (Habitat Management Plan) accompanying the RDA, and the invasive species would be handled and disposed of in accordance with the guidelines recommended by NHESP in its February 12, 2013 approval of the project. According to Stantec’s letter, the woody vegetation was to be thinned for improved public safety along Water Street and the Buttonwoods Trail and to enhance scenic views of the Merrimack River including, removal of decaying and storm-damaged trees that create vehicle and pedestrian hazards, improving maintenance access to existing utility infrastructure and removal of nuisance exotic species. Additionally, thinning of small or invasive woody vegetation would improve the vigor of the desirable, mature native trees that are the structural habitat for the rare species known to occur within the vicinity of the project.

The proposed work involved the periodic removal of non-native and/or invasive woody plant species of any size, plus removal of native woody species up to six inches in diameter. Select pruning and trimming of the lower branches and limbs of mature native trees would occur, along with removal of dead and dying limbs and lower tree branches that block the view-shed. The Habitat Management Plan was proposed to be implemented as often as once every winter, or as needed to remove particularly hazardous trees along the trail or Water Street sidewalk occurs, such as after severe storm events.

The DOA expired on April 1, 2016, before the thinning of woody vegetation by the DPW occurred in early 2017. Cutting of larger diameter native deciduous trees occurred after this date in violation of the DOA. The large native trees cut were silver maple (Acer saccharinum), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), , and red oak (Quercus rubra). The invasive species cut were Norway maple (Acer platanoides) and black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) The stumps remain in place with very little slash left on the river’s bank. It appears the trees were cut by mechanical means, lifted, and placed on trucks from Water Street. It is possible that vegetation was cut using a chain saw. It does not appear that any equipment was ever on the water side of the guardrail.

To restore the tree layer, native species of relatively substantial size will be planted and an invasive species management program will be implemented. The goal is to eventually provide greater wildlife habitat value by eliminating invasive species along the river’s bank and riparian buffer by replacing them with native species

Riverine Buffer Restoration - Water Street between Shapleigh and Riverside Avenue Haverhill, MA WPA Form 3 – Notice of Intent Narrative 2 2.0 Site Location and Description

Cutting occurred along approximately 3,000 linear feet of riparian buffer along Water Street from opposite Shapleigh Avenue south to Riverside Avenue (the Site). The Site is a narrow riparian buffer along the Merrimack River made up of state and locally protected resource areas including Bank, Riverfront Area (RA) and Bordering Land Subject to Flooding (BLSF). The slope is vegetated with ground cover, limited woody shrubs and some remaining river birch (Betula nigra) and silver maple mainly on the river’s bank at its first break in slope. Stumps remain from the recent cut by the DPW as well as a relatively recent cut by the electric utility company.

According to the latest MassGIS data, the entire project is located within NHESP mapped habitat polygons. The known rare species found along the Merrimack River are the shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) and the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). This application has been submitted to NHESP for review under the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (MESA) simplified review.

3.0 Cut Description - DPW

To fully describe what was cut by the DPW, on May 16, 2017 all tree stumps were inventoried and located by GPS with an accuracy to less than a foot. Location, diameter, and species were logged as well as whether the tree was cut recently or cut by the utility company not too long ago as part of vegetation management, an exempt activity. The attached Tree Inventory (Appendix A) tabulates the older cut material from the newer cut material and includes the size and species.

Generally, trees cut recently by the DPW consisted of Norway maple, black locust, green ash, red oak, and silver maple, with an average stump diameter of 12 to 18 inches. Two recently cut large diameter white pine trees (Pinus strobus) were observed within the riverine buffer. A large number of the trees that were recently removed showed evidence of disease and/or insect damage. The trees removed by the DPW were primarily deciduous with two pine trees.

147 out of 287 tree stumps inventoried were cut recently by the DPW. The remaining 140 trees were cut by the utility company. The percentage of canopy loss resulting from cutting by the DPW (about 50%) correlates to the percentage of the trees removed by the DPW.

4.0 Riparian Buffer Restoration Planting Plan

The proposed project is intended to restore the resource area functions and values that were altered as a result of the recent clearing. By planting only true native species, this project will ultimately improve overall wildlife habitat by replacing pre-existing invasive species and diseased trees with healthy native species. The proposed plant list was designed to provide nesting sites, food, and cover for wildlife including birds and pollinators.

Project Oversight The name, affiliation, address, telephone number, and qualifications of the individual or firm to oversee the RA/Buffer Zone restoration process will be provided to the Haverhill Conservation Commission at least two (2) weeks prior to initiation of the work. The planting will be conducted by qualified professionals who will guarantee the success of plant establishment using common methods, including but not limited to, the use of soil amendments and watering, if necessary.

Riverine Buffer Restoration - Water Street between Shapleigh and Riverside Avenue Haverhill, MA WPA Form 3 – Notice of Intent Narrative 3 Construction Staging The construction staging for the restoration plantings will be from Water Street.

Erosion Controls Erosion control during the restoration procedures shall adhere to the specifications detailed on the plan submitted herein and will be implemented during construction downgradient of the disturbed areas to minimize water quality impacts to adjoining resource areas and waterway. The proposed 12” straw wattles will be used downgradient of soils disturbed by planting where necessary on the slope. A stockpile of erosion control materials shall be kept on-site at all times for emergency and routine replacement.

Planting – Resource Area Restoration Wherever possible, planting will be conducted by hand. Larger diameter trees may need to be planted using mechanical assistance if possible. Steeper slopes will only be planted by hand. Any soil disturbance will be immediately stabilized using “spot applications” of a wildlife seed mix and, if necessary, the placement of downgradient straw wattles.

Species selected for planting are those that should be readily available and native to Essex County. The proposed species will ultimately improve wildlife habitat by replacing pre-existing invasive species and diseased trees with healthy native species. The proposed plant species list consists of the prevalent native species that were cut by the DPW and that exists along Riverside Avenue. This list, however, excludes green ash, as many ash stumps showed evidence of wood-boring insect damage. Plant species cultivars will not be accepted and are not considered appropriate substitutions for any species included in the planting plan. The planting procedures will be overseen by qualified professionals with proper experience and training. The qualified professional shall be responsible to establish the plantings in a naturalistic manner so the trees have adequate room to grow. All trees are to be installed away from the electrical wires to avoid future cutting by utilities.

The project plans, titled “Riverine Buffer Restoration, Water Street between Shapleigh Avenue and Riverside Avenue, Haverhill, MA”, prepared by GPI, dated May 2017, depict the planting locations.

TABLE 1 – Riverfront Restoration Area Plant Material Specifications

Common Name Scientific Name Planting Specification

Silver maple Acer saccharinum 1” to 1.5”caliper Northern red oak Quercus rubra 1” to 1.5”caliper White pine Pinus strobus 5’ to 6’ height

Once the restoration area has been planted with the proposed canopy species, the disturbed soils will be seeded with the New England Conservation/ Wildlife Mix (wildlife habitat seed mix) at the rate specified by the manufacturer as an understory seeding, to stabilize the area. The seed mix contains a wide variety of native seeds that are suitable for most riverfront mitigation and restoration sites, as these areas are not frequently inundated. All seeding and planting will occur at the beginning or end of the growing season (April 12 through October 26 for Essex County – Northern) and, if planted the fall, will be completed before the first frost or October 1st.

Riverine Buffer Restoration - Water Street between Shapleigh and Riverside Avenue Haverhill, MA WPA Form 3 – Notice of Intent Narrative 4 5.0 Invasive Plant Management Strategy

Currently, the riparian buffer zone along the Site is vegetated primarily by invasive species, including Norway maple seedlings, Japanese barberry (Berberis thunbergii), burningbush (Euonymus alatus), Asiatic bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus), and Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica). These species should be managed aggressively during and following the installation of the restoration plantings in order to minimize impacts to the newly planted trees by the existing invasive species.

Although undesirable, invasive plants identified along the steep sections of Bank should not be removed according to this management plan. Although they are not desirable plants, their roots systems are integral to the stability of the bank. Removal of this material could undermine the bank and result in erosion to the River.

Management Strategy – Woody Plant Material To manage woody invasive species, both manual and chemical techniques may be necessary. If a woody plant seedling is less than 3/8 inch in diameter, it can be removed by hand, bagged, then, disposed of according to the guidance below. These small seedlings pulled will not re-sprout in place. If greater than 3/8 inch, the material should be cut, then treated using an herbicide found on the Rights of Way Sensitive Area Materials List prepared by Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR). The herbicide treatment is proposed to prevent re-sprouting of the stumps. If used, herbicides should be applied directly onto the stump immediately after the plant is cut. When cutting the invasive plants, at least an 18 to 24” tall stump should be left to allow for a secondary cut/treat application if the plants exhibits future basal growth.

Disposal of this woody material should be completed in accordance with “Guidelines for Disposal of Terrestrial Invasive Plants” (UCONN – 2014) and “Methods for Disposing Non-native Invasive Plants” (UNH Cooperative Extension – 2010). Specifically, the cut material should be removed from the site and chipped as long as it does not have seeds hanging from the branches. If seeds/fruit are present, the material should be dried and chipped only once the seeds/fruit have fallen. The chipped material can be composted, as long as no invasive seed/fruit material is mixed with the chipped woody material. See Table 2 below for species-specific management and disposal strategies and methods.

Prevention of New Invasive Species Establishment In order to ensure no additional invasive plants are introduced to the restoration area, any soil amendments will be transported in clean vehicles so no exotic/invasive seeds from other sites will be brought into the site. Documentation of the soil’s origin will be submitted with the report provided to the Conservation Commission upon completion of the restoration along with a statement from the source of the soil amendments.

Management Hazards Poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) is found throughout the Site, primarily near the roadway and climbing existing trees. Care should be taken by the qualified professionals conducting this management plan to limit contact with this plant material. Poison ivy is native to Essex County and is not to be removed as part of this management strategy.

Monitoring It is likely that invasive species will continue to germinate along the riverbank for at least the next seven years due to the presence of invasive seed in the seed bank. Proper measures and monitoring should be undertaken to reduce/eliminate re-establishment of these invasive species. It is recommended that a monitoring plan for the newly planted area be submitted to the Commission to minimize impacts of the invasive material on the restoration area. It is recommended that this new plan include management strategies targeting individual species, primarily with respect to preferred time-of-year for cutting and treatment in order to minimize future invasive seed production.

May 12, 2017 Preface

Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas. They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance the environment. Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations. Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/ portal/nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center (https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/contactus/? cid=nrcs142p2_053951). Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or underground installations. The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, and where applicable, sex, marital status, familial status, parental status, religion, sexual orientation, genetic information, political beliefs, reprisal, or because all or a part of an individual's income is derived from any public assistance program. (Not all prohibited bases apply to all programs.) Persons with disabilities who require

2 alternative means for communication of program information (Braille, large print, audiotape, etc.) should contact USDA's TARGET Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice and TDD). To file a complaint of discrimination, write to USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20250-9410 or call (800) 795-3272 (voice) or (202) 720-6382 (TDD).

4 How Soil Surveys Are Made

Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length, and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other biological activity. Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA. The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the landscape. Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented by an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries. Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units). Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil

5 Custom Soil Resource Report scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and research. The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map. The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape, and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the soil-landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at specific locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded. These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color, depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil typically vary from one point to another across the landscape. Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other properties. While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management. Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same kinds of soil. Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example, soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date. After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and

Map Unit Descriptions

The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.

11 Custom Soil Resource Report

A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities. Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement. Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.

12 Custom Soil Resource Report

The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example. An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.
