Project Description
I. Existing Property Description
The property at 226 Route 28, West Yarmouth, MA is fully developed and currently operates as a motel
business in the Hotel/Motel Overlay District 1 (HMOD1). The property consists of two (2) total buildings,
which includes a total of 57 units, manager’s quarters and an office. The property has a total land size of 1.5
acres, and was built in 1950 and 1978, according to the Yarmouth Assessors Property Record Card.
II. Wetland Resource Areas
The subject property lies within the following Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (Mass
DEP) wetland resource areas: Bordering Vegetated Wetland (Wooded Swamp) and The Town of Yarmouth
wetland Resource area: Vegetated Wetlands, (Wet Meadows, Marshes, Swamps and Bogs)
The property lies outside of the Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) Estimated or
Priority Habitat of Rare Wildlife and Species and is not in an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC).
The proposed scope of work will only take place within the buffer zone to the Bordering Vegetated Wetland.
III. Project Description
The applicant is proposing to remove the existing sewage disposal system, located within the 50’ – 100’
buffer to the Bordering Vegetative Wetland and to construct a new sewage disposal system upgrade outside
of the 100’ buffer zone, with no increase in flow. The work replaces a 1977 septic system. The only work that
will occur within the 50-100’ buffer will include collection system piping and decommissioning of the existing
septic systems.
Performance Standards Narrative
Wetland Performance Standards - (310 CMR) State WPA Regulations
The property at 226 Route 28, West Yarmouth, MA has the following State Defined resource areas:
An explanation is provided to show how each performance standard is met.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of 310 CMR 10.55(4)(a), the issuing authority may issue an Order
of Conditions permitting work which results in the loss of up to 5000 square feet of Bordering
Vegetated Wetland when said area is replaced in accordance with the following general conditions
and any additional, specific conditions the issuing authority deems necessary to ensure that the
replacement area will function in a manner similar to the area that will be lost:

equal to that of the lost area;
o N/A – Not applicable
3. The overall horizontal configuration and location of the replacement area with respect to
