Re: 22 Willow Lane, South Yarmouth, MA
Mr. Fernandes,
This letter is an environmental assessment report prepared by Independent Environmental Consultants,
Inc. (IEC) concerning the above mentioned residential property located at 22 Willow Lane, South
Yarmouth, MA. IEC conducted a site inspection and evaluation of the property on 12-23-20, to delineate
the boundary of wetlands located within the subject property. The day of inspection was sunny and 36
degrees. This inspection occurred during the winter season (wet season), with no snow on the ground.
No precipitation had occurred within 72 hours of this site inspection.
The residential property contains al house (22), and a driveway connecting to Willow Lane. Existing
topography drops in elevation from Willow Lane downgradient to the backyard of the property. The
subject property is located within a 100 year flood zone. A Bordering Vegetated Wetland (BVW), a
wooded swamp, is located within the backyard of the property. This freshwater wetland is located
within an area of reduced topography. This BVW wetland contains greater than 50% wetland vegetative
species, hydric soils, very high groundwater conditions, and pooling areas. Pooling areas within the
BVW wetland contained several inches of standing water on 12-23-20. IEC has delineated the edge of
wetlands with the flags Al — A6. A 50' buffer zone and a 100' buffer zone is associated with the edge of
wetlands. The BVW wetland continues off property.
The subject freshwater wetland and wetland buffer zones are under the jurisdiction of the Yarmouth
Conservation Commission, and DEP Wetlands SERO.
