GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION – all proponents must fill out this section

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The project description should summarize both the project’s direct and indirect impacts (including construction period impacts) in terms of their magnitude, geographic extent, duration and frequency, and reversibility, as applicable. It should also discuss the infrastructure requirements of the project and the capacity of the municipal and/or regional infrastructure to sustain these requirements into the future.

Project Background and Overview

The Project Proponent, Boston Water and Sewer Commission (“BWSC”) proposes to construct the North Allston Storm Drain Extension Project (“NASDEP” or the “Project”). The proposed modifications to the BWSC stormwater management system will significantly improve its performance by providing much needed additional conveyance capacity. The proposed drainage system will see the upstream portion of the system, on the south side of Western Avenue, disconnected from the Harvard Business School (“HBS”) and Western Avenue portions of the existing system (refer to Attachment A, Figure 3). The upstream neighborhood runoff will be redirected through the Allston Landing North (“ALN”) area (including property owned by Harvard for which BWSC will have Easement Rights). This new stormwater trunk drain system, will collect runoff and convey the upstream neighborhood flows, along with runoff from 500 Soldiers Field Road and the frontage along the west side of Soldiers Field Road (“SFR”), to a new BWSC-owned outfall discharging to the Charles River between 500 Soldiers Field Road and Cambridge Street. Portions of the new culvert and the outfall itself are located within the MA Department of Conservation and Recreation (“DCR”) Charles River Reservation, including the portion of the proposed culvert to be constructed under Soldiers Field Road and access road (“Project Area”).

This new culvert and outfall and associated required easement are the subject of this ENF as it requires Article 97 authorization from the Massachusetts State Legislature, consistent with the provisions of the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (“EEA”) Article 97 Land Disposition Policy (“Policy”), for the disposition of new easement rights to BWSC from the Commonwealth for both the construction and operation.1 In order to accommodate BWSC’s request, DCR will grant certain

1 The temporary construction impact areas for the trunk drain within the Charles River Reservation will be the subject of a DCR Construction Access Permit and is not included as the part of the permanent easement required by Article 97.

- 4 - easement rights within the Charles River Reservation to BWSC. The easement will require the above referenced Article 97 authorization from the Massachusetts Legislature. Because the Project requires a state action (i.e., Article 97) and meets or exceeds a related threshold in the MEPA regulations (again, Article 97), the Project is subject to MEPA review. Upon the completion of construction, the general land use will remain the same and full access to the Charles River Reservation will be restored within the Project Area.

Multiple submittals by Harvard University (EEA 14069) have included information on the need for a proposed new stormwater trunk drain project through this area of North Allston. As the NASDEP expands the capacity of BWSC’s existing stormwater infrastructure, and BWSC will own and operate the NASDEP, BWSC is the Proponent for this stormwater infrastructure project, and the Project as described in this ENF is being proposed for review as a separate and distinct project. The NASDEP has been designed to improve existing conditions where current BWSC infrastructure is undersized and to accommodate the entire catchment area. Any future development in the catchment area will be required to undergo review and approval by BWSC and the Boston Planning and Development Agency (“BPDA”) as necessary and comply with MassDEP and BWSC/BPDA requirements for stormwater standards, including treating the first 1.25 inches of total rainfall depth.

The Proponent has coordinated with multiple departments at DCR regarding the scope, design, alternatives evaluated, and construction management of the proposed project. The required Article 97 Legislative approval process and coordination for the granting of the easement is ongoing.

The six conditions of the EEA Policy are discussed in this ENF as identified in the following table.

Purpose and Need

The NASDEP is intended to address longstanding deficiencies in the existing BWSC North Allston drainage system that currently result in substantial surface ponding and flooding throughout the catchment area including insufficient trunk drain capacity downstream of Rena Park. The NASDEP also includes material improvements, such as the installation of a stormwater treatment BMP, which will remove sediment,

- 5 - total suspended solids (TSS), oil and floatables originating from the upstream runoff of the catchment area. This sediment is currently conveyed by the existing system without treatment prior to discharge into the Charles River. Water quality improvements in the discharge to the Charles River and alleviation of surface flooding in the catchment area resulting from this Project meet the public purpose requirements of Condition 5 of the EEA Policy.

As shown in Figure 3 in Attachment A, the BWSC’s existing North Allston drainage system services a catchment area of approximately 172 acres and discharges to the Charles River via two existing outfalls east of Soldiers Field Road: one owned by DCR located northeast of the Harvard Business School, and a second owned by BWSC located north of the Western Avenue bridge. Currently, the ALN development area is largely unserved by an engineered drainage system and overlaps only in part with the North Allston drainage system catchment. The portion of ALN not within the North Allston drainage catchment discharges to the Charles River via two outfalls: one owned by BWSC located south of Cambridge Street, and a second owned by MassDOT located further south of Cambridge Street. The proposed modifications to the BWSC system will improve its performance by providing much needed additional conveyance capacity, in proportion to the size of the stormwater catchment area that it serves. Any future development actions in the catchment area will be required to go through the BWSC Site Plan Application process, undergo BPDA and any other applicable city and state review, and obtain additional permits as necessary.

Existing Site Conditions

The proposed jurisdictional Project Area is the culvert and outfall site located along the west bank of the Charles River, just north of the Cambridge Street/River Street Bridge at approximately 500 Soldiers Field Road, within DCR’s Charles River Reservation in Boston. For the purposes of this application, the Project Area is defined as the permanent subsurface area that will be occupied by the 14.5-foot wide by 6.7-foot high dual-chamber box culvert and outfall within Soldiers Field Road and the Charles River (including the river bank), along with the proposed temporary crane platform, an area totaling approximately 0.19 acres. Proximate to the outfall location, the landside culvert area comprises Soldiers Field Road (both eastbound and westbound lanes), an on-ramp from Cambridge Street to Soldiers Field Road, and the Paul Dudley White Bike Pathway. Except for a narrow strip of vegetation along the bank of the Charles River, the landside areas are primarily impervious. The paved bike path is located at the top of a vegetated and riprapped slope to the Charles River. The slope to the river is relatively steep (slope of 2:1) and protected by small granite blocks.

There are two other existing outfalls on Soldiers Field Road in the vicinity of the proposed outfall that discharge BWSC stormwater from the existing catchment areas associated with Western Avenue (light blue area in Figure 3) and Cambridge Street (yellow area in Figure 3). An existing 60-inch diameter, MWRA steel water main (WASM4), supported on a timber pile cap/pile system, runs in a north-south direction beneath the bike path. At the proposed outfall location, the river is approximately 340 feet wide, with a depth of approximately seven feet. Substrate near the outfall contains primarily pebble and cobble.

The Project Area is not within areas mapped as Priority Habitat of Rare Species and/or Estimated Habitat of Rare Wildlife by the Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program under the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act and the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, respectively (MassGIS, 2017).

- 6 - NASDEP Design

The NASDEP was designed in accordance with all BWSC design standards including sediment and phosphorus removal and requisite design storm modeling to serve a future catchment area of 164 acres (this future catchment area excludes HBS which will remain connected to the existing outfall).2 The specific design objectives were to size this culvert in order to reduce existing flooding in the upstream residential catchment, provide capacity such that additional upstream flow can be passed-forward through the new downstream system to the outfall, and contain the design storm (no predicted flooding) within the future ALN development area (50 acres).

Drainage culvert size determination is based on a “design storm” which accounts for the rainfall received over the catchment area, along with land use of the catchment area, among other factors. BWSC has adopted as its design storm a 10-year Average Return Interval (ARI) 24-hour Natural Resources Conservation Service (“NRCS”) Type III rainfall pattern, a significant increase above the previous standard in response to the trend in increasing rainfall depth and intensity. This design storm equated to a 5.2-inch rainfall depth, based on the Atlas 14 Point Precipitation Frequency Estimates released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”). Also, note that no allowances were made for the local attenuation of runoff within the ALN development area or the BWSC requirement of infiltration of 1.25 inches of total local rainfall depth. Therefore, the modelled inflows were conservative (i.e. greater) in comparison to the inflows that will likely occur. Finally, typically maintained between 7 and 8 feet Boston City Base (“BCB”), the Charles River water level was modelled at a constant elevation of 8.0 feet BCB for design purposes, resulting in a conservative assumption given that the practice of lowering the river level prior to large storm events would typically result in more favorable downstream head conditions.

The selected NASDEP design significantly augments the conveyance capacity of the existing system without oversizing the grey infrastructure being added to the catchment area. In the context of sea level rise and storm surge, having an even bigger drain may not be beneficial because it can worsen the potential for backflow inundation, as it would be easier for water from the river to flow back up the drain and out of manholes into the catchment area. Backflow prevention devices can sometimes be used to mitigate this effect, but in this case the NASDEP is a low-head system, which makes backflow preventers impractical during business-as-usual operation. These conservative design allowances provide for climate change resiliency and adaptation in the BWSC infrastructure to larger and/or more frequent storm events.

NASDEP Design Performance

The table below compares the peak aggregate discharge and flood rates as well as the total flood volume during the design storm for the existing and proposed systems. The peak aggregate discharge rates were determined by summing all the instantaneous outfall flow rates within the study catchment, while the peak aggregate flood rates were determined by summing all the instantaneous flood rates from all flooding locations within the study catchment.

2 BWSC design standards are in full compliance with the requirements of the BWSC Stormwater BMP Recommendations Report approved by the EPA on October 24, 2018 in accordance with the Consent Decree settlement in Conservation Law Foundation, Inc., et al. v. Boston Water and Sewer Commission, et al., C.A. No. 10-10250-RGS. The standards pursuant to that plan are designed to reduce phosphorus in stormwater runoff, with the goal of meeting the Total Maximum Daily Loads for the Charles River for phosphorus.

- 7 - As was the design intent, the proposed infrastructure will increase the discharge capacity of the drainage system and is predicted to reduce the flood volume by more than 53%. Thus, while the total volume of flow ultimately directed to the river will not increase (as no new catchment area is being added), the peak rate at which flow can be discharged to the river will increase and be better suited to handle the peak inflow that results from the combination of the design storm and the size of the catchment. This will reduce the potential for floodwaters to cause damage and collect pollutants on route to the river.

EXISTING SYSTEM PROPOSED SYSTEM Peak Aggregate Discharge Rate (cfs) 247 392

Peak Aggregate Flood Rate (cfs) 480 331

Total Flood Volume (ac-ft) 32.2 15.0

The proposed system established by the NASDEP does not represent a final condition for the North Allston catchment, as BWSC intends to pursue localized drainage system improvements in the upstream neighborhood to further reduce the residual flooding shown for the proposed system in the future. The NASDEP will provide BWSC this opportunity to further alleviate upstream neighborhood flooding with future stormwater infrastructure improvements where no such opportunity existed before due to downstream capacity restrictions.

Proposed Site Conditions

Approximately 30 feet from the western limits of Soldiers Field Road, the NASDEP trunk drain will increase in size from a 10-foot x 8-foot box culvert to a 14.5-foot wide by 6.7-foot high dual-chamber box culvert in order to accommodate the specific site constraints within the Charles River Reservation and the water elevation of the Charles River. This culvert will be installed at a sufficient depth to avoid the 60-inch MWRA water main that is located along the edge of bicycle path closest to the Charles River, while mitigating impacts to the river bottom. The box culvert will pass under the MWRA WASM-4 water main.

Wetland resource areas in which construction activities will occur include the Inland Bank (and 100-foot Buffer Zone), Land Under Waterbodies and Waterways (“LUW”), and the 25-foot Riverfront Area (“RFA”) as described below. To facilitate the MWRA utility crossing, approximately 77 linear feet of vegetated bank and 1,936 s.f. of riverfront area will be cleared of vegetation within the proposed easement area. Access and construction staging will require the additional use of 24,600 s.f. of Riverfront Area, primarily impervious surfaces, which will be temporarily impacted then restored in place upon the completion of construction, outside of the easement area. These temporary impact areas that are vegetated will be restored upon the completion of construction with appropriate plantings, including tree replacement, as coordinated with DCR’s Arborist.

A 14.5-foot by 24.5-foot stabilization mat, Flexamat™, will be installed opposite the end of the outfall to prevent drainage flows from scouring the river bottom. Flexamat™ is a permanent erosion control used for stabilizing slopes and shorelines consisting of concrete blocks locked together and embedded into a geogrid with spacing that allows for flexibility and vegetative growth. The mat will also wrap around both sides in order to stabilize the culvert area from erosion and scour upgradient of the culvert as well for 25 linear feet along the bank. The outfall discharge extends 30 feet into the river rather than on the bank,

- 8 - discharging at a river depth of approximately seven feet through a tapered end section (with an invert elevation of 1.0 feet BCB). The tapered end section minimizes the footprint of the outfall in the river and any potential navigational hazard. Also, the Flexamat™ arrangement stabilizes the river bank, which will be restored upon completion of installation of the outfall with native plantings along the embankment. Permanent impacts from the outfall result in conversion of LUW with natural river bottom to outfall with the stabilization mat from the footprint on the bottom of the river. Additional LUW will be impacted from the crane platform and pile installation. Impacts total 1,934 s.f.

Upon the completion of construction, temporarily impacted surface areas will be restored to their pre- existing conditions and full access to the Project Area within the Charles River Reservation will be restored.

Construction Information and Schedule

The Proponent has developed a detailed Temporary Traffic Management Plan (“TMP”) in coordination with DCR to determine the best solutions for vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian mitigation for users of both Soldiers Field Road and the Paul Dudley White Bike Path. The Proponent will continue to coordinate with DCR during this process and throughout the duration of the proposed 24-month construction period. Please see the Mitigation Section following for additional details on the TMP.

The majority of construction staging for this phase of the Project will occur in an open area south of the Sanofi Building west of Soldiers Field Road - outside of the limits of the Charles River Reservation. The coffer dam will be constructed in a fixed work zone to the east of SFR. The SFR section of the culvert will be installed in a phased manner, as dictated by traffic shutdowns, including pre-trenching, sheeting, and traffic decking. The final culvert heading will be mined out in phases to avoid massive traffic disruption, under SFR traffic decking from the west Sanofi zone to the east fixed zone. Alternatives to this preferred methodology were evaluated and a summary is provided in the Alternatives Analysis section that follows. Excavation for this trench will be from the Sanofi staging area. In this approach, traffic decking and approach slabs are supported on steel sheet piles above a level of bracing, maintaining traffic flow for the duration of construction. Nighttime lane closures will be coordinated with DCR to minimize traffic disruption until the decking and support of excavation is in place (see TMP information in Mitigation Section following). From that point forward, sections of the tunnel are to be excavated from below using a mini excavator, skids steers and hand digging where needed. As the excavation progresses, a mud mat is placed in sections to act as a working slab. A structural slab, installed in sections after the excavation is complete, will provide support for the culvert to mitigate settlement. The work area will be supported by continuous steel sheeting and traffic decking; the final roadway will be restored after mining from west to east occurs beneath the roadway and the culvert is installed.

To enable installation of the new culvert and outfall in the dry, a temporary coffer dam will be installed in the Charles River via a crane placed landside on top of the existing bike path and bank area. The crane will require a pile supported platform (40-feet by 40-feet) located to the north of the coffer dam sheeting. Eight of these steel piles will be installed in LUW. Additional LUW will be impacted from the crane platform and pipe-pile installation for a total of 1,934 s.f. of impact to Land Under Water. The remaining eight piles will be installed within RFA/Buffer Zone. Prior to the start of construction, a turbidity curtain will be installed within the river to contain silt and sediment that may be created by the pile and coffer dam installation enclosing an area of approximately 25,000 s.f.. A dewatering system (type to be determined in consultation with selected site contractor, based on the requirement set by the project

- 9 - Geotechnical Engineer) will also be staged on the Service Road to Soldiers Field Road. Upon the installation of the coffer dam, the work area will be dewatered and approximately 228 cubic yards of river bottom will be excavated to allow for the box culvert installation.

Access for the large construction equipment necessary for the coffer dam and culvert installation will be from the Cambridge Street bridge area as coordinated with DCR, utilizing the existing paved Service Road and bicycle pathway within RFA and Buffer Zone. The bicycle pathway will be rerouted to utilize a portion of the Service Road during construction to ensure continuous access, except during crane platform installation and removal. The construction area will be separated from the re-routed bike pathway using temporary construction barriers. Due to this limited land-side work zone area, barges may be also used for construction support, access, and material storage within the temporary work zone setup inside the turbidity curtain. Upon the completion of work, the staging areas will be demobilized and the coffer dam will be removed. The turbidity curtain will remain in place until the bank is stabilized with vegetation.

The duration of the entirety of trunk drain construction activities is expected to take approximately 24 months; please see the discussion on page 18 regarding construction phasing. Harvard and BWSC are seeking to obtain required permits by August 2021, with construction anticipated to begin in September of that year. It is anticipated that the subject of this ENF, the work within Article 97 land jurisdiction including the outfall construction, will also take approximately 24 months or two construction seasons, working in conjunction with time of year restrictions in the river itself.

The scope and timing of future development in the ALN area outside this limited Project Area that will be served by this trunk drain has not yet been determined. As a result, BWSC has not yet evaluated what other utilities (such as water or sewer pipes) may be required in the ALN area. BWSC will undertake that evaluation in the future, in response to specific development proposals for the ALN area.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS

Describe the on-site project alternatives (and alternative off-site locations, if applicable), considered by the proponent, including at least one feasible alternative that is allowed under current zoning, and the reasons(s) that they were not selected as the preferred alternative: ______

NOTE: The purpose of the alternatives analysis is to consider what effect changing the parameters and/or siting of a project, or components thereof, will have on the environment, keeping in mind that the objective of the MEPA review process is to avoid or minimize damage to the environment to the greatest extent feasible. Examples of alternative projects include alternative site locations, alternative site uses, and alternative site configurations.

Pursuant to the MEPA requirement to describe the feasible project alternatives, and the Article 97 Land Disposition Policy Condition 1, this section describes the alternatives analysis process undertaken by BWSC. The purpose of conducting this alternatives analysis was to identify a preferred solution that is consistent with the Project purpose and need; is feasible to construct, operate and maintain; and accommodates a design layout that avoids and minimizes impacts to the environment, including Article 97 protected land, to the greatest extent practicable. In reviewing potential alternatives for the Project to meet the identified need, BWSC considered: (1) a no-build approach; (2) expansion of the existing SDO- 01 outfall and associated trunk drain; (3) an augmentation of the BWSC storm drain system, independent
