Address:
56 Merchant Avenue
Yarmouth Port, MA 02675
In response to the Enforcement Order issued by the Town of Yarmouth
Conservation Department on October 12th, 2018, initial steps have been taken to
mitigate any erosion and slope run off at 56 Merchant Ave leading to the lagoon
at Swamp Cove. The slope has been re-graded and seeded with a meadow grass
seed mix along with the installation of jute matting along the entirety of the
slope. A silt fence has been installed along the full length of the property line
adjacent to the street.
The proposed work in the NOI is to further stabilize the slope with the installation
of native plantings along the perimeter of the property and to supplement the
existing meadow grass seed mix with a seed mixture of showy native New
England wildflowers. Some boulders will be installed to hold back grade around
some of the larger plants for additional slope protection.
The work will be performed with hand tools and with the use of a mechanical
wheel barrow knowns as a “Dingo” by Toro. Upon completion of the plant
installation, a temporary, above ground irrigation system will be installed in order
to insure the survival of the plant material.
