Hi Tim
I agree with Claire’s approach. Please limit disturbance to the great extent possible. Also, if there is disturbed sediment
that could runoff to the wetland, please install a silt sock along its edge until the area is re-stabilized.
Thanks

Hi Tim,
Thanks for reaching out with this question. If the grassy area between the chain linked fence and the wetland is
disturbed to the point of destabilizing the vegetation and soil, my recommendation would be to hydroseed with a native
wildflower or conservation seed mix once you demobilize in order to stabilize the area. No grass seed should be applied
in that area. Still, I would suggest you reach out to the Conservation Commission Agent, Kelly Grant, to confirm that she
would agree with that recommendation under the existing Order of Conditions. I’m not sure if Town Hall is open, so try
her email if you can’t get through on the phone at KGrant@yarmouth.ma.us.
Thank you and hope all is well,
Claire

Hi Claire,
We spoke in the late fall about this project, Kinnie Chiu, 40 Constance Ave. in West Yarmouth.
It seems the most logical way to handle this job is to enter the back yard along the right side of the house and the
double gate in the chain link fence at the right rear. This means that we would be driving equipment across the existing
grassy area on the wetland side of the chain link fence. Are we responsible for restoring the grassy area? With grass? Or
letting it go back to natural soil where we have disturbed?
Would appreciate any input.
Thanks
Tim Acton
