STINSON Fax (781) 246-6266 Director ofPublic Works April 30, 2016 Glenda Velez US EPA 5 Post Office Square - OEP06-01 Boston, MA 02109-3912 RE: NPDES Stormwater Phase II Permit Annual Report Permit Year Thirteen Wakefield, Massachusetts Dear Sir or Madam: The Town of Wakefield, Massachusetts is pleased to submit this Annual Report covering Permit Year Thirteen (May 1, 2015 through April 30, 2016.) This submittal is in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Phase II Regulations and the Massachusetts DEP requirements. The format of this report follows the Section F listing of infonnation items under Part 1I Massachusetts Small MS4 Storm Water Management Program. See the Table of Contents following this cover letter for identification of each report section. In su111111ary, the Town of Wakefield has met compliance with the Town's permit application submittal dated July 28, 2003. The only permit component that was changed was the Adopt-A-Stream Program. In lieu of this program, the Department of Public Works (DPW) implemented a stream• cleaning program, starting in the spring of 2007. It should also be noted, that in 2015 into 2016 during permit year thi1ieen, the Town engineering consultant completed and submitted a draft of a drainage study of the Town. The study, includes a drainage model of the Town's drainage system components, recommended changes to the existing drain system and downstream receiving channels, X:\admin\npdcs\may l6annualrpt streams and rivers along with implementation priorities; estimated design, permitting and construction costs; which will in turn reduce the frequency and degree of flooding that occurs, thus reducing the potential uptake and wash off of pollutants and other materials to the receiving waters. During this permit year the Town committee continued to review various watershed and in-lake technologies and approaches for the Lake Quannapowitt water body for the purpose of developing and implementing a plan that will preserve this valuable resource for future generations. A Town committee vote was performed during this pe1mit year to identify to the Town the optimal technologies and approaches which in combination are predicted to work toward achieving the lake water quality goals. In addition to the permit activities, we corresponded with the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC) and National Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) to ensure that the guidance provided in the Addendum A and B of the NPDES Stormwater Permit is followed. Correspondence has been received from both MHC and NHESP that verifies that we have no active projects at this time that will require their review and certification. Their correspondence goes fu1ther to provide guidance on what type of projects would require their review and certification, and the process for submitting a proposed project for review. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at 781-246-6301. Director of Public Works cc: Fred Civian, MA Depattment ofEnvironmental Protection Stephen P.
