Notice of Submission of a Request to Proceed for the Amendment to The Public Notice Notice of Submission of a Request for a Notice to Proceed for the Amendment to the City of Salem Municipal Harbor Plan and Designated Port Area Master Plan pursuant to 301 CMR 23.00 In accordance with the applicable regulations at 301 CMR 23.00, the City of Salem has submitted a Request for a Notice to Proceed (RNTP) to the Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs to initiate the state approval for an amendment to the 2008 Salem Municipal Harbor Plan and Designated Port Area Master Plan. Copies of the RNTP may be obtained by contacting Seth Lattrell at [email protected]. Written comments on the RNTP will be considered. Comments must be received by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, July 10, 2020. Comments should be addressed to: Office of Coastal Zone Management 251 Causeway Street, Suite 800 Boston, MA 02114-2136 Attn: Kathryn Glenn Note: Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the preference is for electronic submission of comments. Comments can also be submitted electronically to [email protected] and copied to [email protected]. Notification Date: June 10, 2020 Salem Municipal Harbor Plan Update Request for Notice to Proceed Kimberley Driscoll Mayor Tom Daniel, Aicp Director City Of Salem, Massachusetts Department Of Planning And Community Development 98 Washington Street Salem, Massachusetts 01970 Tele: 978-619-5685 Dear Ms. Engler, On behalf of the City of Salem, Massachusetts, I’m writing to respectfully request the issuance of a Notice to Proceed with the preparation of an amend- ment to a Municipal Harbor Plan and Designated Port Area (“DPA”) Master Plan (collectively the “Harbor Plan”) by the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (“CZM”) in accordance with the provisions of 301 CMR 23.03. Salem’s Harbor Plan was last updated in 2008, and since that time we have successfully initiated or completed many of the port development rec- ommendations set forth in the Harbor Plan, including the construction of portions of the harborwalk and public park along the South River Basin, the construction of a new wharf and marina at Blaney Street, operation of a fer- ry service between Salem and Boston, upgrades to Winter Island including restoration of Fort Pickering and construction of a perimeter public pathway, and the preliminary design of the South River dredging. There have also been substantial changes to the waterfront not contemplated in the 2008 Harbor Plan. In May 2018, Footprint Power’s natural gas-powered energy facility (the “Salem Harbor Station”) came online, replacing the coal-fired power plant that ceased operations in 2014. The new facility is substantially more compact than the coal plant, freeing up approximately 42.3 acres of land to the southwest and northeast of the Salem Harbor Station for potential redevelopment (the “Footprint Property”). No longer needed for coal deliveries, the City, through an agreement with Footprint, has upgraded the site’s marine terminal and hosted several medium-sized cruise vessels. The substantial reduction of the area of the waterfront required for electricity generation provides a tremendous opportunity for new uses that may support the City’s long term planning objec- tives; however, future development on this waterfront property is limited by the presence of previously filled tidelands subject to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 91 and its classification as a DPA. The goal of this Harbor Plan update is to build off our past success and establish a shared vision for the future of Salem Harbor that is consistent with the guiding principles of Imagine Salem, our community visioning process for what Salem will look and feel like in 2026, the City’s 400th anniversary. Through a robust community driven visioning process, the Harbor Plan will work to protect and enhance the economic, environmental, historic and cul- tural resources related to Salem Harbor and the North River, and will strive to achieve a balance between the residential and business needs of the adjacent neighborhoods, opportunities for the entire city, and the value of Port of Salem as a regional economic resource. As described further below, the Harbor Plan is intended to guide the future use of key development areas in Salem, specifi- cally along the North River and at the Footprint Property. 3 Provided below is a summary of the proposed program for the Harbor Planning process pursuant to the submission requirements in 301 CMR 23.03: 1.

With its pier and boat ramp, it is also the site of numerous marine related activities mostly supporting recreational boats.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Salem County Improvement Authority (SCIA), In conjunction with the County of Salem (the County), has developed this new Economic Development Strategic Plan to serve as a guide or “playbook” in the undertaking of a focused and coordinated program of economic development throughout the County of Salem, New Jersey. This new economic development strategic plan builds upon previous economic development strategic plans and in particular the current plan developed by the SCIA in 2010. In the past four years since the last plan was prepared and adopted by the County and the SCIA, social and economic forces have again shifted, mostly in a positive direction, since the previous plan was developed when the nation and the County were suffering from the economic downturn generally referred to as “The Great Recession”. This new strategic economic development plan focuses on guiding the County’s economic development program to take advantage of an expected rebounding international, national, State and local economy. Salem County has distinct competitive advantages for the certain business and industries based upon its location, affordable land costs, infrastructure and labor force.

    SYENITIC COMPOSITE DIKES AT CAT COVE, SALEM, MASS... http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2001NE/finalprogram/abstract_2816.htm SYENITIC COMPOSITE DIKES AT CAT COVE, SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS TROTTER, Amanda E. and BRADY, John B., Department of Geology, Smith College, Northampton, MA 01063, [email protected] According to the Bedrock Geologic Map of Massachusetts (Zen et al., 1984), Proterozoic Z mafic plutonic rocks form the bedrock throughout Salem Neck in Salem, MA. A particularly good outcropping of these rocks, formerly grouped as the Salem Gabbro-Diorite, occurs along the shore of Cat Cove at a spot reported to be the type locality of "essexite" (Sears, 1891). The gabbro-diorite here is variable, but Washington (1899) described an augite-hornblende-biotite monzonite containing nepheline and microperthite. Nepheline syenite dikes intrude the mafic rocks at Cat Cove and are believed to be part of the late Ordovician Cape Ann Plutonic Series (CAPS) (Hon et al., 1993). A small bay separates this locality from the main body of the Beverly syenite facies of the CAPS. The syenite dikes vary in grain size and are pegmatitic in places. Interestingly, these dikes are themselves intruded by basalt, apparently while they were still liquid, forming pillows and mixing with the syenite. Radiometric ages obtained recently for other mafic rocks shown as Proterozoic Z on the Massachusetts map range from Ordovician to Devonian (Hepburn et al., 1998) suggesting the possibility that the Salem rocks may also be younger and part of the CAPS event. The syenitic character of the "essexite" is consistent with this possibility. Whole-rock geochemical data are being collected to explore the possible origins of these rocks as well as to document the character of the magma mixing in the syenite dikes.
