Jason St. Martin) Zone(s): B3/APD Site Location: 484 Willow Street & Un-numbered lot off Willow Persons Present: DCR Members Present Yarmouth Town Staff Present Guests Charlie Adams Kathy Williams Emily Williamson Dick Martin Jason St. Martin Steve O’Neil Stacey Brockett Leigh Ostrander Isaac Hod gins Danielle Cavanary Nick Olsen Jack Moriarty DRC Review for this project started at: 4:18 PM DRC Review ended at: 4:51 PM On a motion by Mr. O’Neil, seconded by Mr. Adams, the Design Review Committee (DRC) voted (3-0) to adjourn the September 20, 2022 DRC meeting at 4:51PM. Project Summary General Description: The Applicant is proposing to construct a parking lot with site improvements for use during energy emergencies after large storms when workers and vehicles are brought in from other locations to fix the energy grid. The lot will remain empty during normal times. Summary of Presentation: Mr. Jason St. Martin discussed the need to develop parcels they own to improve storm response. The parcel would be left vacant except for when out of state crews are called in to help with storm events. Once the storm is over, there will be a clean-up and the site vacated. Currently, they partner with other facilities. Emily Williamson presented the site plans noting the vacant wooded lot. Trees within the 20’ front setback and 10’ south side setback would remain for screening. Materials needed by the crews for up to 97 trucks, site lighting, portable restrooms and temporary trailers will be located on the site. Storm drainage would be provided along with landscaping. DRC Questions & Discussions: Steve O’Neil asked about the number of trucks they need to store in order to minimize tree impacts and what is being done for buffering the parking lot? Emily Williamson indicated 97 vehicles is the maximum that will fit on the size for bucket trucks, along with the other operations the trucks need for emergency response. Mr. St. Martin noted they needed to ensure vehicle circulation also and would only be used for the duration of event. Charlie Adams was concerned about loss of vegetation and effort to replace as much as possible within the area. Mr. Martin asked if they were providing only minimum buffers and retaining existing trees within the buffers. Ms. Williamson noted the additional plantings in areas of grading. Mr. Martin asked if this meets parking lot requirements or if relief is needed from the parking lot standards. Mr. Martin indicated he could understand no in-lot trees, but should compensate with additional width buffers and more plantings. Ms. Williamson said relief would be needed from in-lot tree requirements. Mr. Martin noted the areas of pavement and gravel and the stormwater drainage in the southeast corner. Will this area naturally vegetate? Ms. Williamson noted that it would be naturalized. Stacy Brockett indicated a no mow seed mix used for stormwater management. Kathy Williams reviewed the need to provide more buffers to fully screen the parking lot from the public ways especially if there are no in-lot trees. She also inquired as to the fence material. Mr. St. Martin noted the fencing is typically chain link. Ms. Williams recommended using black coated rather than galvanized. The screening of the lot could include solid fencing along with robust plantings. Mr. Martin indicated a better buffer along Willow Street to block and improve the views from the public road would likely be viewed favorably to compensate for the in-lot trees.

It is unclear the extent of existing trees that would actually remain along the street and side buffers (type/size) and how much screening this would provide once the clearing has been completed. Applicant may need to supplement with additional plantings to fully screen the large expansive parking area. Recommend increasing the front yard buffer to a minimum 30’ and supplementing existing vegetation as needed to fully screen the large open area. All new trees to be 3” caliper. Effort should be made to minimize the amount of gravel/paved area, especially in the front corners, where additional buffering could be added. The future trail shown on the south side of the lot would impact the required 10’ wide landscape buffer and should be eliminated.

It involves constructing a vehicle staging lot that will be used to assist Eversource in restoring utility service during emergency response situations. Vehicles and resources are brought in from other locations to assist with the response when there are large outages. The emergency response staging lot provides a location to organize these additional resources. In addition to the asphalt parking lot, infiltration basins and storm sewer will be constructed to manage stormwater runoff. Site lighting, landscaping, fencing, and a fire hydrant will also be installed. Demolition work includes tree removal, clearing and grubbing the wooded area, and fence removal. Once construction activity is complete, native landscaping will be planted along the frontage and neighboring property lines to provide adequate screening. Additionally, the landscape screening will also maintain the existing aesthetic as currently viewed from Willow Street. The infiltration basin and other open areas within the project footprint will be planted with a native seed mix.

Introduction Important: When filling out forms on the computer, use only the tab key to move your cursor - do not use the return key. A Stormwater Report must be submitted with the Notice of Intent permit application to document compliance with the Stormwater Management Standards. The following checklist is NOT a substitute for the Stormwater Report (which should provide more substantive and detailed information) but is offered here as a tool to help the applicant organize their Stormwater Management documentation for their Report and for the reviewer to assess this information in a consistent format. As noted in the Checklist, the Stormwater Report must contain the engineering computations and supporting information set forth in Volume 3 of the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook. The Stormwater Report must be prepared and certified by a Registered Professional Engineer (RPE) licensed in the Commonwealth. The Stormwater Report must include: • The Stormwater Checklist completed and stamped by a Registered Professional Engineer (see page 2) that certifies that the Stormwater Report contains all required submittals.1 This Checklist is to be used as the cover for the completed Stormwater Report. • Applicant/Project Name • Project Address • Name of Firm and Registered Professional Engineer that prepared the Report • Long-Term Pollution Prevention Plan required by Standards 4-6 • Construction Period Pollution Prevention and Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan required by Standard 82 • Operation and Maintenance Plan required by Standard 9 In addition to all plans and supporting information, the Stormwater Report must include a brief narrative describing stormwater management practices, including environmentally sensitive site design and LID techniques, along with a diagram depicting runoff through the proposed BMP treatment train. Plans are required to show existing and proposed conditions, identify all wetland resource areas, NRCS soil types, critical areas, Land Uses with Higher Potential Pollutant Loads (LUHPPL), and any areas on the site where infiltration rate is greater than 2.4 inches per hour. The Plans shall identify the drainage areas for both existing and proposed conditions at a scale that enables verification of supporting calculations. As noted in the Checklist, the Stormwater Management Report shall document compliance with each of the Stormwater Management Standards as provided in the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook. The soils evaluation and calculations shall be done using the methodologies set forth in Volume 3 of the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook. To ensure that the Stormwater Report is complete, applicants are required to fill in the Stormwater Report Checklist by checking the box to indicate that the specified information has been included in the Stormwater Report. If any of the information specified in the checklist has not been submitted, the applicant must provide an explanation. The completed Stormwater Report Checklist and Certification must be submitted with the Stormwater Report. 1 The Stormwater Report may also include the Illicit Discharge Compliance Statement required by Standard 10. If not included in the Stormwater Report, the Illicit Discharge Compliance Statement must be submitted prior to the discharge of stormwater runoff to the post-construction best management practices. 2 For some complex projects, it may not be possible to include the Construction Period Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan in the Stormwater Report. In that event, the issuing authority has the discretion to issue an Order of Conditions that approves the project and includes a condition requiring the proponent to submit the Construction Period Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan before commencing any land disturbance activity on the site. 484 Willow Mass DEP Stormwater Checklist.doc • 04/01/08 Stormwater Report Checklist • Page 2 of 8 Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Resource Protection - Wetlands Program Checklist for Stormwater Report B. Stormwater Checklist and Certification The following checklist is intended to serve as a guide for applicants as to the elements that ordinarily need to be addressed in a complete Stormwater Report. The checklist is also intended to provide conservation commissions and other reviewing authorities with a summary of the components necessary for a comprehensive Stormwater Report that addresses the ten Stormwater Standards. Note: Because stormwater requirements vary from project to project, it is possible that a complete Stormwater Report may not include information on some of the subjects specified in the Checklist. If it is determined that a specific item does not apply to the project under review, please note that the item is not applicable (N.A.) and provide the reasons for that determination. A complete checklist must include the Certification set forth below signed by the Registered Professional Engineer who prepared the Stormwater Report. Registered Professional Engineer’s Certification I have reviewed the Stormwater Report, including the soil evaluation, computations, Long-term Pollution Prevention Plan, the Construction Period Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (if included), the Longterm Post-Construction Operation and Maintenance Plan, the Illicit Discharge Compliance Statement (if included) and the plans showing the stormwater management system, and have determined that they have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Stormwater Management Standards as further elaborated by the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook. I have also determined that the information presented in the Stormwater Checklist is accurate and that the information presented in the Stormwater Report accurately reflects conditions at the site as of the date of this permit application.

Single applications shall be done at intervals of no less than four weeks until the annual maximum is reached. o Grass clippings, leaves, or any other vegetative debris shall not be deposited into or within 50 feet of water bodies, retention and detention areas, drainage ditches or stormwater drains, or onto impervious surfaces, such as, but not limited to, roadways and sidewalks, except during scheduled clean-up programs. • Provide for routine inspection (at least annually) and maintenance of structural BMPs to remove sediment and debris. b. Additional Good Housekeeping Procedures • Routinely remove trash and debris from the parking lot and landscaped areas. Page 2 of 3 Project 3172201210 | Date – January 19th, 2023 • General inspections shall be conducted after storm events greater than or equal to the 1-year. 24-hour storm event. • Use sand during winter months. Per the Town of Yarmouth standards, salt is not allowed. 3. Requirements for Routine Inspections and Maintenance of Stormwater BMPs a. Storm Sewer System • Inspect catch basins monthly and after storm events greater than or equal to the 1-year 24-hour storm event. • Catch basins shall be cleaned monthly. Any sediment and floatable pollutants shall be pumped from the basin and disposed of at an approved offsite facility in accordance with all applicable regulations. b. Hydrodynamic Separators • Routinely inspect the hydrodynamic separator (water quality unit) after storm events greater than or equal to the 1-year 24-hour storm event. • Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for typical maintenance. c. Infiltration Basin • Routinely remove trash and debris from the basin, at least once a month or more often if necessary. • Inspect the basin monthly, as well as after every major storm to ensure the basin is draining within 72 hours. • Inspect the basin semi-annually for settling, cracking erosion, leakage, tree growth on the embankments, and the condition of the vegetative cover. • Mow the basin at least semi-annually to prevent woody growth, stimulate grass growth, and enhance nutrient removal. Do not mow when the ground is wet to avoid compaction of the bottom soils. • Inspect the basin semi-annually for sediment accumulation in the basin bottom. Remove accumulated sediment as necessary if it is negatively affecting the basin capacity and infiltration capability. When the soil is thoroughly dry, remove the top cracked layer of sediment, and till and re-seed the remaining soil. 4. Spill prevention and response plans • All reasonable precautions will be taken to prevent spills • If there is a spill event, the spilled material will be immediately directed away from stormwater intakes, infiltration basins, or drainage ways. The facility manager will be immediately notified to evaluate the spill and coordinate the necessary clean up. If necessary, soil remediation practices will be used. 5. Provisions for maintenance of lawns, gardens, and other landscaped areas • Routinely remove trash and debris from landscaped and vegetated areas. • Inspect landscaped areas and vegetative areas monthly to check health and density of plants. • Re-plant bare areas as necessary. • Apply erosion control measures if soil is exposed or erosion channels are forming.

Jason St. Martin) Zone(s): 83/APD Site Location: 484 Willow Street & Un-numbered lot off Willow Persons Present: OCR Members Present Yarmouth Town Staff Present Guests Charlie Adams Kathy Williams Emily Williamson Dick Martin Jason St. Martin Steve O'Neil Stacey Brockett Leiah Ostrander Isaac Hodains Danielle Cavanarv Nick Olsen Jack Moriarty DRC Review for this project started at: 4: 18 PM DRC Review ended at: 4:51 PM On a motion by Mr. O'Neil, seconded by Mr. Adams, the Design Review Committee (DRC) voted (3-0) to adjourn the September 20, 2022 DRC meeting at4:51PM. Project Summary General Description: The Applicant is proposing to construct a parking lot with site improvements for use during energy emergencies after large storms when workers and vehicles are brought in from other locations to fix the energy grid. The lot will remain empty during normal times. Summary of Presentation: Mr. Jason St. Martin discussed the need to develop parcels they own to improve storm response. The parcel would be left vacant except for when out of state crews are called in to help with storm events. Once the storm is over, there will be a clean-up and the site vacated. Currently, they partner with other facilities. Emily Williamson presented the site plans noting the vacant wooded lot. Trees within the 20' front setback and 1 O' south side setback would remain for screening. Materials needed by the crews for up to 97 trucks, site lighting, portable restrooms and temporary trailers will be located on the site. Storm drainage would be provided along with landscaping. DRC Questions & Discussions: Steve O'Neil asked about the number of trucks they need to store in order to minimize tree impacts and what is being done for buffering the parking lot? Emily Williamson indicated 97 vehicles is the maximum that will fit on the size for bucket trucks, along with the other operations the trucks need for emergency response. Mr. St. Martin noted they needed to ensure vehicle circulation also and would only be used for the duration of event. Charlie Adams was concerned about loss of vegetation and effort to replace as much as possible within the area. Mr. Martin asked if they were providing only minimum buffers and retaining existing trees within the buffers. Ms. Williamson noted the additional plantings in areas of grading. Mr. Martin asked if this meets parking lot requirements or if relief is needed from the parking lot standards. Mr. Martin indicated he could understand no in-lot trees, but should compensate with additional width buffers and more plantings. Ms. Williamson said relief would be needed from in-lot tree requirements. Mr. Martin noted the areas of pavement and gravel and the stormwater drainage in the southeast corner. Will this area naturally vegetate? Ms. Williamson noted that it would be naturalized. Stacy Brockett indicated a no mow seed mix used for stormwater management. Kathy Williams reviewed the need to provide more buffers to fully screen the parking lot from the public ways especially if there are no in-lot trees. She also inquired as to the fence material. Mr. St. Martin noted the fencing is typically chain link. Ms. Williams recommended using black coated rather than galvanized. The screening of the lot could include solid fencing along with robust plantings. Mr. Martin indicated a better buffer along Willow Street to block and improve the views from the public road would likely be viewed favorably to compensate for the in-lot trees.

Landscape Buffers/Screening D NIA D Meets Standards, or Iii Discrepancies: The large parking area without any in-lot trees should have a more robust buffer to screen the parking lot from the public way. It is unclear the extent of existing trees that would actually remain along the street and side buffers (type/size) and how much screening this would provide once the clearing has been completed. Applicant may need to supplement with additional plantings to fully screen the large expansive parking area. Recommend increasing the front yard buffer to a minimum 30' and supplementing existing vegetation as needed to fully screen the large open area. All new trees to be 3" caliper. Effort should be made to minimize the amount of gravel/paved area, especially in the front corners, where additional buffering could be added. The future trail shown on the south side of the lot would impact the required 10' wide landscape buffer and should be eliminated. Sect. 8.

Project Narrative a. Project Description This project involves constructing a vehicle staging lot at 484 Willow Street, Yarmouth, MA 02673. The staging lot will be used to assist Eversource Energy in restoring utility service during emergency response situations. Vehicles and resources are brought in from other locations to assist with the response when there are large outages. It serves as a place to organize the additional resources. During normal times the lot will remain empty. The project area is approximately 4.38 acres with about 4.12 acres being disturbed by the activities of this project. In addition to constructing the staging lot, storm sewer and infiltration basins will be installed to manage stormwater runoff. Site lighting, landscaping, fencing, and a fire hydrant will also be installed. Demolition work includes tree removal, clearing and grubbing the wooded area, and fence removal. North of the project limits is the existing Eversource Energy facilities. To the east is a wooded area. To the south is an existing development and a wooded area. West of the project area is the Cape Cod Gateway Airport. The site and adjacent properties are zoned B3 Business and R.O.A.D. Overlay district. b. Pre-Development Conditions In the existing conditions, the project’s 4.38 acres are primarily covered in woods. The existing grades varies throughout the site. There are several high points and low points within the project area. By studying the topographic survey and existing grades, it appears all existing runoff from the project site meanders off-site through various existing drainage paths and eventually discharges to an upstream tributary of Hawes Run/Mill Creek, which is east of the project limits. For analysis purposes, the existing conditions have three drainage areas: Drainage Area 1, 2, and 3. As stated above, all these areas drain overland through high points and low points off-site to a tributary of Hawes Run/Mill Creek. Mill Creek discharges to Mill Pond and then ultimately to Lewis Bay. According to the Web Soil Survey of Barnstable County published by Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the project area is majority comprised of Carver loamy coarse sand which is Hydrologic Soil Group A. Results from infiltration test pits completed in October 2022 and December 2022 confirm loamy sandy soils on site. Therefore, Soil Group A is assumed for all stormwater calculations. See Appendix J for the test pit results. See below for pre-development drainage area characteristics. Calculations for these characteristics are shown in Appendix E.

Post-Development Conditions The proposed conditions consist of approximately 125,689 SF of pavement. Approximately 3.93 acres of woodland will be removed to make room for the storage lot. Infiltration basins will be constructed to Page 4 of 16 Project 3172201210 | Date – January 19th, 2022 c. Post-Development Conditions The proposed conditions consist of approximately 125,689 SF of pavement. Approximately 3.93 acres of woodland will be removed to make room for the storage lot. Infiltration basins will be constructed to accommodate the 100-year storm event and infiltrate the recharge volume and water quality volume. Runoff produced by the pavement will be conveyed to the infiltration basin through proposed storm sewer and overland flow paths. There are three drainage areas in the proposed conditions within the project’s footprint. All three consist of proposed pavement and wooded and open areas. Drainage Area 1 drains into the storm sewer system that discharges into infiltration Basin 1. Drainage Area 2 drains into the storm sewer system that discharges into infiltration Basin 2. Drainage Area 3 drains into the storm sewer system that discharges into infiltration Basin 3. See the below table for post-development drainage area characteristics. Calculations for these characteristics are shown in Appendix E.

Specifics of the project’s stormwater management system is discussed in the following sections. d. Construction Sequence The first phase of this project is to remove the existing trees within the project area. Approximately 3.93 acres of trees will be removed. 3.91 acres will be removed in January/February 2023. The remainder is within the 200-ft River Front Area Buffer so those will be removed after conservation permitting approval and before the end of March 2023. Removing the trees during the winter months follows environmental regulations. Additionally, it promotes a streamlined construction schedule in the springtime. Only the tree clearing activities will be completed during the winter months. The rest of the project’s construction will start in May 2023 and finish by December 2023. Once construction activity is complete, native landscaping will be planted along the frontage and neighboring property lines to provide adequate screening. Additionally, the landscape screening will also maintain the existing aesthetic as currently viewed from Willow Street. The infiltration basin and other open areas within the project footprint will be planted with a native seed mix. Page 5 of 16 Project 3172201210 | Date – January 19th, 2022 2. Mass DEP Stormwater Management Standards a. Standard 1 – New Stormwater Discharges Mass DEP Standard 1 states that no new stormwater conveyances may discharge untreated stormwater directly to or cause erosion in wetlands or waters of the Commonwealth. This project meets the requirements of Standard 1 because it is not proposing any stormwater discharges that are untreated or cause erosion. Per Volume 3 Chapter 1 of the MA DEP Stormwater Handbook, computations for Standards 4 – 6 may also demonstrate compliance with adequately treating stormwater for Standard 1. These computations are presented in the following Standard 4, Standard 5, and Standard 6 sections. This project is proposing all proposed stormwater runoff is directed towards infiltration basins through a storm sewer system. The basins are sized to infiltrate the water quality volume and to detain the 100-year storm event. Catch basins and hydrodynamic separators are proposed upstream of the infiltration basin to remove total suspended solids (TSS). b. Standard 2 – Stormwater Runoff Rates i. Infiltration Basin Sizing Mass DEP Standard 2 states that post-development peak discharge rates shall not exceed predevelopment peak discharge rates for the 2-year, 10-year, and 100-year 24-hour storm events. Per the MA DEP Stormwater Handbook Volume 1 Chapter 1 and the Hydrology Handbook for Commissioners, TR 55 and SCS Type III methods were used to calculate the peak discharges from each drainage area. The site’s overall outfall is the existing eastern creek in both pre- and post-development conditions. Basin 1 Infiltration Basin 1 is proposed to manage stormwater runoff from post-development Drainage Area 1. Because the basin is designed to detain a 100-year 24-hour post-development storm event, it will prevent an increase in peak discharge rates at the site’s outfall from pre-development to post-development conditions for a 2-year, 10-year, and 100-year 24-hour storm events. The Bentley SewerGEMS program was used to model the proposed stormwater management system and compare pre-development to post-development conditions. While the calculated CN value for predevelopment Drainage Area 1 is 30 based on TR-55, the model requires a minimum value of 40. The modeling output is included in Appendix H.

Storm Sewer Sizing The storm sewer is designed to convey the 25-year storm event from the Post-Development Drainage Areas. Per the MA DEP Hydrology Handbook for Commissioners, the Rational Method was used to size the storm sewer. In the event the storm sewer system fails, the post-development drainage areas slope and spillover towards their respective infiltration basins. The Catchment Exhibit and output from Bentley SewerGEMS are included in Appendix I. As noted on the Catchment Exhibit, there are three off-site drainage areas and one undisturbed on-site area that drain through this project site. These areas do not need to be treated, but the project maintains existing drainage paths towards the east creek. Off-site catchments Off-1A and Off-1B and undisturbed catchment On-2A drain into proposed Basin 2. These areas discharge into ST FES B-4 and ST FES A-3. These structures’ invert elevations are set at 31’, which is the high-water elevation of the 100-year storm. This ensures that the runoff from PostDevelopment Area 2 is infiltrated and stored in Basin 2, but that any additional runoff from off-site has an exit path from the basin. Off-site catchment Off-3 drains to an existing low point at the north end of the project area. ST CB E-3 is proposed to be installed in this low point to pick up this off-site runoff and provide a path to the east creek. Page 11 of 16 Project 3172201210 | Date – January 19th, 2022 Off-site catchment Off-4 drains into proposed Basin 3. This area discharges into ST FES A-5. The invert elevation is set at 30.5, which is above the high-water elevation of the 100-year storm. This ensures that the runoff from Post-Development Area 3 is infiltrated and stored in Basin 3, but that any additional runoff from off-site has an exit path from the basin. This storm sewer configuration maintains the existing drainage paths for off-site runoff to reach the eastern creek, but also that the generated on-site runoff is being adequately treated. c. Standard 3 – Groundwater Recharge Volume Standard 3 requires infiltration of the calculated recharge volume which is based on impervious area. The recharge volume is calculated using Equation 1 from MA DEP Stormwater Handbook Volume 3 Chapter 1. Rv = F * A Rv = Required Recharge Volume F = Target Depth Factor A = Impervious Area The target depth factor is determined using Table 2.3.2 in the MA DEP Stormwater Handbook Volume 3 Chapter 1. As previously stated, the soils at the location of proposed infiltration are Hydrologic Soil Type A based on test pits. Referring to Table 2.3.2, the target depth factor is 0.6-inch for Type A. Applying the Static Method, this results in the Required Recharge Volume is: • Required Drainage Area 1 = 5,537 CF; Provided Basin 1 Infiltration Volume = 51,796 CF • Required Drainage Area 2 = 545 CF; Provided Basin 2 Infiltration Volume = 6,755 CF • Required Drainage Area 3 = 158 CF; Provided Basin 3 Infiltration Volume = 1,945 CF Therefore, the proposed stormwater management system meets Standard 3. The bottom area of the infiltration basins were sized to ensure all stormwater runoff infiltrates within 72 hours using the formula presented in MA DEP Stormwater Handbook Volume 3 Chapter 1, as listed below: T = Rv / (K*1/12*Bottom Area) T = Drawdown time (hours) Rv = Recharge Volume K = Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity Bottom Area = Bottom Area of Recharge Structure For the Static Method of infiltration, Rawls Rate is used for K and is obtained from Table 2.3.3 in the MA DEP Stormwater Handbook Volume 3 Chapter 1. Using the data from NRCS and Table 2.3.3, K is approximately 2.41 in/hr. As shown below, the provided bottom areas and provided recharge volumes are greater than the required amounts.

Therefore, the assumption is that the in-situ soils at the proposed infiltration location are Hydrologic Soil Type A is based on the test pits. Once the conclusions of the geotechnical report are available this site will be reanalyzed for infiltration effectiveness. d. Standard 4 – Water Quality & TSS Removal i. Required Water Quality Volume and TSS Removal The MA Stormwater Standard 3 requires 80% Total Suspended Solids (TSS) removal of the calculated water quality volume. The water quality volume is calculated using Equation 3 from the MA DEP Stormwater Handbook Volume 3 Chapter 1. The water quality volume is determined based on proposed impervious surface area. WQV = DWQ * AIMP * 1/12 WQV = Water Quality Volume DWQ = Water Quality Depth AIMP = Impervious Area This project is within a Zone II Area which requires 1 inch for the water quality depth. This results in the Water Quality Volume of: • Required Drainage Area 1 = 9,229 CF; Provided Basin 1 Water Quality Volume = 25,272 CF • Required Drainage Area 2 = 908 CF; Provided Basin 2 Water Quality Volume = 1,643 CF • Required Drainage Area 3 = 264 CF; Provided Basin 3 Water Quality Volume = 274 CF Therefore, the proposed stormwater management system meets Standard 4. A treatment train of deep sump catch basins and hydrodynamic separators are proposed to meet the 80% TSS removal requirement. The TR-55 Graphical Peak Discharge Method was used to determine the water Page 14 of 16 Project 3172201210 | Date – January 19th, 2022 quality volume flowrate to size the hydrodynamic separator. Refer to Appendix G for details on the hydrodynamic separator and the MA DEP TSS Removal Calculation Spreadsheet.

Long-term Pollution Prevention Plan The long-term pollution prevention plan has been combined with the Operation and Maintenance Plan required by Standard 9. Refer to the Standard 9 section of this report for more details. e. Standard 5 – Land Uses with Higher Potential Pollutant Loads (LUHPPLs) This project is constructing an asphalt parking lot that is intended for infrequent vehicle storage. Therefore, this project is not considered a land use with higher potential pollutant loads and Standard 5 does not apply. f. Standard 6 – Critical Areas According to the state of Massachusetts’s online MassMapper, this project does fall within Zone II. However, this project does not discharge to an Outstanding Resource Water or Special Resource Water. Page 15 of 16 Project 3172201210 | Date – January 19th, 2022 Standard 6 for Zone II has requirements for proper management of deicing chemicals, for providing 80% TSS removal with at least 44% removed prior to entering the infiltration structure, and for treating the 1” required water quality volume. Referring to the Operation and Maintenance Plan, salt will not be used as a deicing chemical at this site. Additionally, the treatment train provides 80% TSS removal prior to discharging into the proposed infiltration basin. The infiltration basin is designed to treat the required water quality volume. Therefore, this project meets the requirements of Standard 6. g. Standard 7 – Redevelopment Projects This project is considered new development and has been designed to fully comply with the MA DEP Stormwater Handbook. Therefore, Standard 7 does not apply. h. Standard 8 – Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan A Construction Period Pollution Prevention and Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan has been prepared and is included in Appendix L. Additionally, Erosion and Sediment Control Plans have been included in the project plan set. This project is planning to disturb over 1-acre, therefore a NPDES Construction General Permit will be acquired prior to construction. i. Standard 9 – Operation and Maintenance Plan A long-term operation and maintenance plan has been prepared and is included in Appendix K. The document is intended to satisfy the requirements of Standard 4 and Standard 9. j. Standard 10 – Prohibition of Illicit Discharges This project does not propose any new illicit discharges to the stormwater management system and therefore meets the requirements of Standard 10. 3. Yarmouth Stormwater Management Performance Standards a. Low Impact Development (LID) This project uses LID principles by minimizing the proposed impervious footprint. Reducing the impervious footprint was a comment from the Design Review process where unused pavement in the corners of the storage lot were replaced with landscaping instead. Additionally, truck turning movements were analyzed to provide the minimum amount of pavement needed for the truck to circulate the storage lot. In addition, this project is infiltrating the 100-year storm event volume which is beyond what the infiltration standard requires (refer to Standard 3 section above). b. Good Housekeeping Procedures Good housekeeping procedures are documented in the Operation and Maintenance Manual in Appendix K. This includes the procedures outlined in the Yarmouth stormwater standards section 2.05.2. Page 16 of 16 Project 3172201210 | Date – January 19th, 2022 c. Stormwater Management Systems i. Post-Development Peak Discharge rates Post-development peak discharge rates do not exceed pre-development peak discharge rates for the 2, 10, 25, 50, and 100-year 24-hour storms. Additionally, the 50-year post-development stormwater volume is retained onsite with the proposed infiltration basin. The 100-year post-development stormwater volume is also retained onsite and does not discharge offsite. ii. Structural Pretreatment Per Town regulations, structural pretreatment is required for all proposed infiltration devices to remove 44% TSS from runoff before it enters the infiltration device. This is achieved with the proposed treatment train consisting of deep sump catch basins and hydrodynamic separators. Refer to Appendix G for details on the hydrodynamic separator and the MA DEP TSS Removal Calculation Spreadsheet. iii. Precipitation Data The precipitation data provided in National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) – National Weather Service “NOAA Atlas 14” was used for this project’s stormwater calculations, thus fulfilling this requirement. This data is included in Appendix F. d. Stormwater Management Systems for New Development This standard requires new developments to meet an average annual pollutant removal equivalent to 90% of the average annual load of TSS, 60% of the average annual load of Total Phosphorus (TP), and 30% of the average annual load of Total Nitrogen (TN). The TSS removal is achieved through deep sump catch basins and hydrodynamic separators. According to the MA Stormwater Standard Volume 2, the proposed infiltration basin meets the TP and TN removal percentages. Additionally, this project retains the volume of runoff greater than 1” multiplied by the total post-construction impervious surface area (refer to the Standard 4 section above). Therefore, this project meets this standard. e. Stormwater Management Systems for Redevelopment This project is considered new development. Therefore, the redevelopment standards do not apply. f. BMP Performance BMP performance is documented based on MassDEP Stormwater Standards and design guidance. Refer to Appendix G for details on the hydrodynamic separator and the MA DEP TSS Removal Calculation Spreadsheet. g. Discharges to Impaired Water Bodies This project is not discharging to an impaired water bodies or tributary. All runoff from 100-year storm events are retained onsite.

Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive precipitation from long-duration storms. The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D) and three dual classes (A/D, B/D, and C/D). The groups are defined as follows: Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water transmission. Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture. These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission. Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of water transmission. Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission. If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D, B/D, or C/D), the first letter is for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas. Only the soils that in their natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes.

Numbers in parenthesis are PF estimates at lower and upper bounds of the 90% confidence interval. The probability that precipitation frequency estimates (for a given duration and average recurrence interval) will be greater than the upper bound (or less than the lower bound) is 5%. Estimates at upper bounds are not checked against probable maximum precipitation (PMP) estimates and may be higher than currently valid PMP values.

analysis of partial duration series (PDS). Numbers in parenthesis are PF estimates at lower and upper bounds of the 90% confidence interval. The probability that precipitation frequency estimates (for a given duration and average recurrence interval) will be greater than the upper bound (or less than the lower bound) is 5%. Estimates at upper bounds are not checked against probable maximum precipitation (PMP) estimates and may be higher than currently valid PMP values. Please refer to NOAA Atlas 14 document for more information.

The map unit descriptions in this report, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named, soils that are similar to the named components, and some minor components that differ in use and management from the major soils. Most of the soils similar to the major components have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Some minor components, however, have properties and behavior characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities. Map Unit Description: Carver loamy coarse sand, 0 to 3 percent slopes---Barnstable County, Massachusetts 484 Willow Street, Yarmouth Natural Resources Conservation Service Web Soil Survey National Cooperative Soil Survey 10/22/2022 Page 1 of 4 Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. All the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement. Soils of a given series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example. An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example. Additional information about the map units described in this report is available in other soil reports, which give properties of the soils and the limitations, capabilities, and potentials for many uses. Also, the narratives that accompany the soil reports define some of the properties included in the map unit descriptions.

Stormwater Management System Owners and Party Responsible for Operation and Maintenance • Eversource Energy is the stormwater management system owner. • Eversource Energy is the party responsible for operation and maintenance and for financing operation and maintenance. Once the facility is constructed, Eversource Energy will provide the contact information for the individual(s) responsible for operation and maintenance. • Once the facility is constructed, Eversource Energy will determine where this Operation and Maintenance Manual will be permanently store on site. During construction this manual will be kept in the same location as the SWPPP (see SWPPP). 2. Good Housekeeping Procedures a. Good Housekeeping Procedures per the Town of Yarmouth Stormwater Regulations Section 2.05.2 • Wash vehicles at commercial car washes or on lawns or pervious areas using biodegradable and phosphate free detergent • Removal of sediment, leaf litter and other organic debris from impervious surfaces a minimum of twice a year in the spring (after snowmelt) and fall (after leaf fall) • Removal of sediment/debris from catch basin structures a minimum of once a year • Restrictions on the application of fertilizers, including: o Fertilizer shall not be applied during or immediately prior to heavy rainfall, such as but not limited to thunderstorms, hurricanes, or northeastern storms, or when the soil is saturated due to intense or extended rainfall o Fertilizer shall not be applied between November 12 and the following March 31; o Fertilizer shall not be applied, spilled or deposited on impervious surfaces or in a manner that allows it to enter into storm drains o Fertilizer shall not be applied within 100 feet of any surface water or within the Zone I of a public drinking water well o Fertilizer containing phosphorus shall not be applied unless a soil test taken not more than three years before the proposed fertilizer application indicates that additional phosphorus is needed for growth of that turf, or unless establishing new turf or reestablishing or repairing turf after substantial damage or land disturbance. o A single application of fertilizer that contains nitrogen shall not exceed 1.0 pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet, shall consist of at least 20% slow-release nitrogen (SRN) fertilizer (NOTE: This represents the minimum percentage: use of higher SRN content is generally preferable, especially on sandy root zones, during stress and prestress periods, and when there are fewer annual applications of nitrogen made to a lawn) and the annual rate shall not exceed 3.2 pounds of actual nitrogen per thousand square feet. Single applications shall be done at intervals of no less than four weeks until the annual maximum is reached. o Grass clippings, leaves, or any other vegetative debris shall not be deposited into or within 50 feet of water bodies, retention and detention areas, drainage ditches or stormwater drains, or onto impervious surfaces, such as, but not limited to, roadways and sidewalks, except during scheduled clean-up programs. • Provide for routine inspection (at least annually) and maintenance of structural BMPs to remove sediment and debris. b. Additional Good Housekeeping Procedures • Routinely remove trash and debris from the parking lot and landscaped areas. Page 2 of 3 Project 3172201210 | Date – January 19th, 2023 • General inspections shall be conducted after storm events greater than or equal to the 1-year. 24-hour storm event. • Use sand during winter months. Per the Town of Yarmouth standards, salt is not allowed. 3. Requirements for Routine Inspections and Maintenance of Stormwater BMPs a. Storm Sewer System • Inspect catch basins monthly and after storm events greater than or equal to the 1-year 24-hour storm event. • Catch basins shall be cleaned monthly. Any sediment and floatable pollutants shall be pumped from the basin and disposed of at an approved offsite facility in accordance with all applicable regulations. b. Hydrodynamic Separators • Routinely inspect the hydrodynamic separator (water quality unit) after storm events greater than or equal to the 1-year 24-hour storm event. • Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for typical maintenance. c. Infiltration Basin • Routinely remove trash and debris from the basin, at least once a month or more often if necessary. • Inspect the basin monthly, as well as after every major storm to ensure the basin is draining within 72 hours. • Inspect the basin semi-annually for settling, cracking erosion, leakage, tree growth on the embankments, and the condition of the vegetative cover. • Mow the basin at least semi-annually to prevent woody growth, stimulate grass growth, and enhance nutrient removal. Do not mow when the ground is wet to avoid compaction of the bottom soils. • Inspect the basin semi-annually for sediment accumulation in the basin bottom. Remove accumulated sediment as necessary if it is negatively affecting the basin capacity and infiltration capability. When the soil is thoroughly dry, remove the top cracked layer of sediment, and till and re-seed the remaining soil. 4. Spill prevention and response plans • All reasonable precautions will be taken to prevent spills • If there is a spill event, the spilled material will be immediately directed away from stormwater intakes, infiltration basins, or drainage ways. The facility manager will be immediately notified to evaluate the spill and coordinate the necessary clean up. If necessary, soil remediation practices will be used. 5. Provisions for maintenance of lawns, gardens, and other landscaped areas • Routinely remove trash and debris from landscaped and vegetated areas. • Inspect landscaped areas and vegetative areas monthly to check health and density of plants. • Re-plant bare areas as necessary. • Apply erosion control measures if soil is exposed or erosion channels are forming. Page 3 of 3 Project 3172201210 | Date – January 19th, 2023 6. Requirements for storage and use of fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides • No pesticides are to be used unless a single spot treatment is required for a specific control application. • Refer to Town of Yarmouth’s Stormwater Regulations Section 2.05.2 for fertilizer application restrictions. 7.

Pollution Prevention Plan 1-1 Section 1 Introduction Stormwater runoff from construction activities can have a significant impact on water quality. As stormwater flows over a construction site, it can pick up pollutants like sediment, debris, and chemicals and transport these to a nearby storm sewer system or directly to a river, lake, or coastal water. Polluted stormwater runoff can harm or kill fish and other wildlife. Sedimentation can destroy aquatic habitat, and high volumes of runoff can cause stream bank erosion. Debris can clog waterways and potentially reach the ocean where it can kill marine wildlife and impact habitat. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater program administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires construction site operators engaged in clearing, grading, and excavating activities that disturb one acre or more, including smaller sites in a larger common plan of development or sale, to obtain coverage under an NPDES permit for their stormwater discharges. The Construction General Permit (CGP) authorizes the discharge of stormwater pollution from construction activities in accordance with specified terms and conditions. All construction projects that propose to disturb one (1) or more acres of land must comply with the CGP. A construction project that is part of a larger common plan that will ultimately disturb one or more acres of land must also comply. This draft SWPPP has been prepared in accordance with the guidelines for the NPDES CGP for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity (2022, USEPA). This SWPPP addresses the Eversource ERP Staging Yard Project. Project Drawings are attached in Appendix A. A copy of the NPDES 2022 CGP for Construction Activities for which this SWPPP was prepared is attached in Appendix B. 1.1 Notice to Operators and Subcontractors Compliance with the CGP and its Standard Permit Conditions is the responsibility of the site Operator(s). An Operator is any party associated with a construction project that meets either of the following two criteria: 1. The party has operational control over construction plans and specifications, including the ability to make modifications to those plans and specifications; or 2. The party has day-to-day operational control of those activities at a project which are necessary to ensure compliance with a SWPPP for the site or other permit conditions (e.g., they are authorized to direct workers at a site to carry out activities required by the SWPPP or comply with other permit conditions). The Operators have been identified under Section 2.1. Each Operator is responsible for compliance with the CGP, including supplementing the SWPPP with actual site conditions, best management practices, construction sequencing, inspections, and reports. Generally, compliance is achieved by: • Developing and implementing a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). • Completing, certifying, and submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI) to the EPA. • Reading and complying with the requirements contained in the CGP. Section 1 Introduction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 1-2 • Keeping the NPDES CGP and SWPPP on file at the Project field office or at an easily accessible location so that it can be made available at the time of an onsite inspection or upon request. The SWPPP will be kept current and shall be amended according to the conditions described in the CGP. • Post a sign or other notice which shall be located so that it is visible from the public road that is nearest the active part of the construction site, and it must use a font large enough to be readily viewed from a public right-of-way. At a minimum, the notice shall include: o The NPDES Permit tracking number. o A contact name and phone number for obtaining additional project information. o The URL for the SWPPP (if available); or the following statement: “If you would like to obtain a copy of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for this site, contact the EPA Regional Office at (617) 918-1732”. o The following statement: “If you observe indicators of stormwater pollutants in the discharge or in the receiving waterbody, contact the EPA through the following website: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/reportenvironmental-violations”. Prior to submitting the NOI, the Operator(s) shall be responsible for finalizing the SWPPP and verifying information presented herein including, but not limited to, the items listed below. Section 2.1 • Confirm contact information • Complete and keep updated subcontractor information, including completing Subcontractor Certification/Agreements in Appendix G for each subcontractor Section 2.2 • Confirm contact information • Acknowledge that Operator(s) have read the CGP and understand the applicable requirements. Indicate so in provided check box and date line Section 2.3 • At all times, maintain at least one hard copy of the Contract Documents including permits on-site or at an easily accessible location so that they can be made available at the time of an on-site inspection or upon request Section 3.3 • Complete Construction Support Activities section and locate on Project Drawings in Appendix A Section 3.4 • In Appendix H, complete the sequence of activities form and attach preliminary project work schedule.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 4-1 Section 4 Documentation of Compliance with Other Federal Requirements 4.1 Endangered Species Protection Eligibility Criterion Under which criterion listed in Appendix D of the 2022 CGP are you eligible for coverage under this permit? A B C D E Supporting Documentation See Appendix L for all documentation including: 1. CGP Appendix D Checklist 2. NMFS Mapping and Report 3. USFWS Mapping and Report Criterion C: Discharges not likely to result in any short- or long-term adverse effects to ESA-listed species and/or designated critical habitat. ESA-listed species and/or designated critical habitat(s) under the jurisdiction of the USFWS and/or NMFS are likely to occur in or near your site’s “action area,” and you certify to EPA that your site’s discharges and discharge-related activities are not likely to result in any short- or long-term adverse effects to ESA-listed threatened or endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. This certification may include consideration of any stormwater controls and/or management practices you will adopt to ensure that your discharges and discharge-related activities are not likely to result in any short- or long-term adverse effects to ESA-listed species and/or designated critical habitat. To certify your eligibility under this criterion, indicate 1) the ESA-listed species and/or designated habitat located in your “action area” using the process outlined in Appendix D of this permit; 2) the distance between the site and the listed species and/or designated critical habitat in the action area (in miles); and 3) a rationale describing specifically how short- or long-term adverse effects to ESA-listed species will be avoided from the discharges and dischargerelated activities. (Note: You must include a copy of your Project Drawings from your SWPPP showing the upland and in-water extent of your “action area” with your NOI). Basis statement: The United States Fish and Wildlife Service's IPaC online tool was consulted in January 2023 for the presence of Threatened and Endangered species. Upon review, the action area was determined to be within the range of the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis; Endangered) and the sandplain gerardia (Agalinis acuta; Endangered). It was determined that the action area would not impact either species as no critical habitat was been designated in the vicinity of the project site. Although tree clearing will occur, roosting trees for the northern Section 4 Site Evaluation, Assessment, and Planning Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 4-2 long-eared bat are not present and all tree-clearing will occur outside the active period (April – October) for this species. The National Marine Fisheries Service's Greater Atlantic Region ESA Section 7 Mapper was consulted in August 2022 for the presence of Threatened and Endangered species. Upon review, there are no NMFS-protected species or critical habitat in the action area. Check the applicable source(s) of information you relied upon: ✓ Resources used to make determination: USFWS IPaC Online Tool, USFWS Species Determination Table for Endangered Species Project Review, NMFS Greater Atlantic Region ESA Section 7 Mapper ✓ ESA-listed Species/Critical Habitat in action area: Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), Sandplain Gerardia (Agalinis acuta), monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) ✓ Distance between site and ESA-listed Species/Critical Habitat: 0 miles ✓ How adverse effects will be avoided: No roosting trees are present in the vicinity of the project site. Trees will be cleared outside of the active period of the northern long-eared bat. Training for all crew members will be provided prior to construction activities. Proper erosion and sedimentation control measures will be implemented to avoid impacts to potential habitat. Section 4 Site Evaluation, Assessment, and Planning Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 4-3 4.2 Historic Preservation The project work consists of installing ground-disturbing stormwater controls. 2022 CGP Appendix E, Step 1 Do you plan on installing any of the following stormwater controls at your site? _Yes_ Check all that apply below, and proceed to Appendix E, Step 2. Dike Berm Catch Basin Pond Stormwater Site Drainage Feature (e.g., ditch, trench, perimeter drain, swale, etc.) Culvert Channel Other type of ground-disturbing stormwater control: 2022 CGP Appendix E, Step 2 If you answered yes in Step 1, have prior professional cultural resource surveys or other evaluations determined that historic properties do not exist, or have prior disturbances at the site precluded the existence of historic properties? YES NO • If yes, provide documentation of the basis for your determination. A desktop review of the Massachusetts Historic Commission Inventory was reviewed and it was determined no areas of historical significance are present at the project site. 4.3 Safe Drinking Water Act Underground Injection Control Requirements Do you plan to install any of the following controls? Check all that apply below. Infiltration trenches (if stormwater is directed to any bored, drilled, driven shaft or dug hole that is deeper than its widest surface dimension, or has a subsurface fluid distribution system) Commercially manufactured pre-cast or pre-built proprietary subsurface detention vaults, chambers, or other devices designed to capture and infiltrate stormwater flow Drywells, seepage pits, or improved sinkholes (if stormwater is directed to any bored, drilled, driven shaft or dug hole that is deeper than its widest surface dimension, or has a subsurface fluid distribution system) There are no controls to be installed as part of this project as identified in the 2022 CGP Part 7.2.9. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-1 Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Site Operator(s) must implement erosion and sediment controls in accordance with the following requirements to minimize the discharge of pollutants in stormwater from construction activities. This project also includes site specific controls and permit conditions which may take precedent and are not included in the following descriptions. The Operator(s) shall also comply with the requirements in the project’s permits which are provided in the Contract Documents. 5.1 Natural Buffers or Equivalent Sediment Controls Are there any receiving waters within 50 feet of your project’s earth disturbances? YES NO 5.2 Preserving Existing Vegetation The preservation of existing vegetation (groundcover, vines, shrubs, trees) will be employed within the work area wherever possible, primarily to increase soil stability and decrease the amount and velocity of runoff. This also includes identification and protection of certain trees either for aesthetic or erosion and sediment control benefits. 5.3 Perimeter Controls A perimeter control representing the limit of disturbance will be installed prior to the commencement of work. No construction activity will occur beyond the limit of disturbance, thereby minimizing adverse effects to sensitive resource areas. Where the work area is located adjacent to or near a resource area, erosion controls will also function as perimeter controls. General Wetland resource areas in close proximity to the proposed project area will be protected by a row of erosion control barriers. The erosion control barriers will consist of straw wattles, mulch-filled tubes (e.g., compost filter tubes/socks), or other similarly effective devices placed in a fashion that restricts the contractor(s) to the areas necessary to conduct the work and will define the limits of work. The locations of these barriers are shown on the project drawings. Specific Perimeter Controls Silt Fence and Straw Wattles/Compost Filter Socks Silt fence and straw wattles/compost filter socks are used as an erosion control device to slow runoff velocities, entrain suspended sediments, and promote vegetation growth until an area is stabilized. They are not generally intended for steep slopes, but rather, to stabilize low to moderate grades where there is a broad area of disturbance. They should be placed lengthwise, perpendicular to the direction of runoff. Straw wattles/compost filter socks may also be used along wetland resource areas to protect areas before vegetation has stabilized disturbed soils. Filter socks are constructed from a biodegradable mesh sock stuffed with compost filter media. Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-2 • Perimeter controls shall be installed downgradient of construction activities. Perform work in accordance with Eversource Best Management Practices. Installation • Temporary erosion control measures shall be installed prior to the start of any earth disturbing activities. • Erosion control barriers shall not be removed until their removal is approved by the Engineer or Owner. • Sediment controls shall be installed along any perimeter areas of the site that are downslope from any exposed soil or other disturbed areas. • To prevent stormwater from circumventing the edge of the perimeter control, install the perimeter control on the contour of the slope and extend both ends of the control up slope (e.g., at 45 degrees) forming a crescent rather than a straight line. Maintenance Requirements • The contractor(s) will be required to maintain a reserve supply of erosion control barriers on-site to make repairs, as necessary. • Perimeter control shall be inspected immediately after each rainfall and at least daily during prolonged rainfall. They shall be repaired if there are any signs of erosion or sedimentation below them, any repairs shall be made immediately. If there are signs of undercutting at the center or the edges, or impounding of large volumes of water behind them, sediment barriers may be replaced with a temporary check dam. • After a storm event, if there is any evidence of stormwater circumventing or undercutting the perimeter control, the control will be extended and undercut areas repaired. • Should the fabric on a barrier decompose or become ineffective prior to the end of the expected usable life and the barrier still is necessary, the fabric shall be replaced promptly. • Sediment deposits should be removed after each storm event. They must be removed when deposits reach approximately 1/3 the height of the barrier. • After a storm event, if there is evidence of stormwater circumventing or undercutting the perimeter control, extend control and/or repair undercut areas to fix the problem. At the conclusion of the project, the erosion control barriers will be removed and properly disposed off-site following the stabilization of disturbed areas and Conservation Commission authorization. Straw Bales Staked straw bales can be utilized as erosion control barriers. They are staked in a line around perimeters of disturbed areas, especially those adjacent to wetlands, waterways, roadways or at the base of slopes. Perimeter barriers intercept, filter, and reduce the velocity of stormwater run-off. • Perform work in accordance with Eversource Best Management Practices. Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-3 • See Installation and Maintenance requirements under Silt Fence and Straw Wattles/Compost Filter Socks. 5.4 Sediment Track-Out General It is the site contractor/project manager’s responsibility to take measures to prevent tracking of sediment from the utility trenches, sidewalk and curb removal areas, and other excavation locations. It is also the contractor/project manager’s responsibility to take measures to prevent tracking of sediment from the staging and material storage area. A street sweeping apparatus shall be used as necessary to minimize the track-out of sediment onto off-site streets, other paved areas, and sidewalks from vehicles exiting the construction site. Specific Track-Out Controls A stone construction entrance track pad will be installed where the construction area connects to paved roads to limit construction machinery from tracking soil onto paved roadways. Procedures should be established to ensure soils are not tracked off-site and restricting vehicle use to properly designated exit points. Muddy conditions may warrant the use of a tire wash station. If the track pad becomes clogged with soil, stone may need to be removed and refreshed and/or cleaned as needed. Materials appropriate to construction site soil conditions should be employed and/or replenished, as necessary. The proposed location of the construction entrance track pad is depicted on the Project Drawings. • Perform work in accordance with Eversource Best Management Practices. Installation • At access road entrances from public roadways, sediment track out control includes but is not limited to the use of aggregate stone with an underlying geotextile or non-woven filter fabric or turf mats. Maintenance Requirements • The exits shall be maintained in a condition, which will prevent tracking of sediment onto the public right-of-way. When washing is required, it shall be completed in an area stabilized with aggregate which drains into an approved sediment trapping device. • If sediment is tracked out from the site to the surface of off-site streets, other paved areas, and sidewalks, the site contractor/project manager shall remove the deposited sediment by the end of the same work day in which the track-out occurs or by the end of the next work day if track-out occurs on a non-work day. • Tracked-out sediment shall be removed by sweeping, shoveling, or vacuuming or by using other similarly effective means of sediment removal. • All sediment shall be prevented from entering any constructed or natural site drainage feature, storm drain inlet, or receiving water. Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-4 5.5 Stockpiled Sediment or Soil General Stockpiles are to be located as far as possible from any constructed or natural site drainage features, storm drain inlets, and areas where stormwater flow is concentrated. Soil stockpiles shall be protected from contact with stormwater using a temporary sediment barrier, such as a compost filter sock. Any stockpiles of loose materials shall be properly stabilized to prevent erosion and sedimentation. Place, grade, and shape stockpiles to drain surface water within the approved stockpile and material laydown locations. Take care to not store within the drip line of remaining trees. Stockpiles can be covered with sheets of plastic/tarp to minimize windblown dust. Stockpiled erodible materials that will not be used for greater than 14 days shall be stabilized with temporary seed immediately following placement. Specific Stockpile Controls Description • Temporary stockpiles of excavated soil will be placed at material storage locations in accordance with the Eversource Best Management Practices. Installation • Install a sediment barrier, silt fencing or straw bales, along downgradient perimeter areas of stockpiled soil or land clearing debris piles. • For piles that will be unused for 14 or more days, sediment and erosion controls and/or cover shall be used on stockpiles to minimize the discharge of sediment or soil particles from discharging to any receiving water. Temporary stabilization with seeding shall be used if perimeter controls and/or cover are not sufficient. Maintenance Requirements • Do not hose down or sweep soil or sediment accumulated on pavement or other impervious surfaces into constructed or natural site drainage feature (unless connected to a sediment basin, sediment trap, or similarly effective control), storm drain inlet, or receiving water. 5.6 Minimize Dust General The contactor shall be responsible to control dust throughout the construction period. Dust control methods shall include, but not be limited to sprinkling water on exposed areas, covering loaded dump trucks leaving the site, and temporary mulching. Dust control measures shall be utilized to limit the migration of dust from the site to abutting areas. Measures will be implemented to reduce surface and air movement of dust from exposed soil surfaces during land disturbance, demolition, and construction activities. These measures will decrease the amount of dust in the air, thus decreasing the potential for accidents, respiratory problems, and airborne sedimentation. To reduce the amount of areas requiring dust control, construction activities should be scheduled appropriately to minimize soil exposure. Dust control methods include sprinkling water on exposed areas. Water used shall be clean, non-polluted water obtained from sources approved by the Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-5 Owner and/or Engineer. In addition, streets will be swept regularly throughout construction. Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a)6., and in accordance with MassDEP’s obligation under 314 CMR 4.05(5)(e) to maintain surface waters free from pollutants the use of calcium chloride for dust control shall be avoided. Specific Dust Controls Description • Prevent dust from becoming a nuisance or hazard. During construction, excavated material and open or stripped areas are to be policed and controlled to limit spreading of the material. • Dust control measures shall be utilized to limit the migration of dust from the site to abutting areas. • Ensure that the existing equipment, facilities, and occupied space adjacent to or nearby areas of the work do not come in contact with dust or debris as a result of concrete demolition, excavation or surface preparation for coatings. Installation • Dust control methods shall include, but not be limited to, sprinkling water on exposed areas, using calcium chloride, covering loaded dump trucks leaving the site, and temporary mulching. Maintenance Requirements • During the daily work, all paved road and driveway surfaces shall be scraped and broomed (i.e., mechanical street sweeper) free of excavated materials daily. Prior to sweeping or as needed during the workday the surfaces shall be hosed down or otherwise treated to eliminate active or potential dust conditions and the natural road or wearing surface shall be exposed. 5.7 Minimize the Disturbance of Steep Slopes General Final grades shall be stabilized with mulch or loam and seed to prevent erosion. Install temporary erosion control mats on all exposed cut/fill slopes with a slope 3:1 or greater to protect against rainfall and wind erosion and hold moisture content to enhance vegetation growth in seed. Erosion control mats shall be biodegradable after 12 to 24 months. Placement of rip rap or crushed stone may also be utilized as a temporary slope stabilization method on side slopes in select portions of the site prone to stormwater runoff from upgradient areas from the site. The proposed locations of erosion control mat installations are depicted on the Project Drawings 5.8 Topsoil General All areas not to be paved or otherwise treated shall receive a 4-inch-thick layer of loam and seed. Salvage existing loam and topsoil and stockpile this material for re-spreading Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-6 where originally removed. On backfilling, grading shall be returned to preconstruction contours and the stockpile of loam shall be spread over areas disturbed during construction activities. Specific Topsoil Controls Description • Topsoil/loam will be controlled by providing temporary and permanent grass cover. Installation • Temporary seed cover shall be provided to stabilize the site in areas where construction activity shall not occur for more than 21 calendar days by the 7th day after construction activity has ceased. Maintenance Requirements • Seeding shall be inspected periodically, and a minimum 95% of the soil surface should be covered by vegetation. If any evidence of erosion is apparent, repairs shall be made, and additional measures shall be used in the interim. • Hay or straw mulch shall be applied immediately after seeding. 5.9 Soil Compaction In areas where final vegetative stabilization will occur or where infiltration practices will be installed: • Restrict vehicle and equipment use at these locations to avoid soil compaction; and • Prior to seeding or planting areas of exposed soil that have been compacted, use techniques that rehabilitate and condition the soils to support vegetative growth, if necessary and feasible. 5.10 Storm Drain Inlets General Catch basin inlet controls shall be installed in the existing stormwater system. No new stormwater management infrastructure is proposed in this project. Storm Drain Inlet Controls Provide catch basin inlet protection in all catch basins within the vicinity of the earth disturbing activities to protect the stormwater management system from high sediment loads and high velocities while disturbance due to construction is occurring in the drainage area. Inlet protection measures are not required for storm drain inlets that are conveyed to a sediment basin, sediment trap, or similarly effective control measure. • Perform work in accordance with Eversource Best Management Practices. Description • Storm drain inlet controls include the installation of silt sacks or approved equivalent. Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-7 Installation • Temporary inlet protection devices shall be installed securely below catch basin rims in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations. Maintenance Requirements • Silt sacks shall be inspected immediately after each rainfall and at least daily during prolonged rainfall. They shall be repaired or replaced as needed. • Sediment deposits should be removed after each storm event. They must be cleaned when deposits reach approximately 1/3 the height of the barrier. • The site contractor/project manager shall remove the deposited sediment and make any repairs by the end of the same work day in which the sediment is observed or by the end of the next work day if observation occurs on a non-work day. • Following stabilization of the site and the receipt of permission from the Owner’s Representative, the Contractor shall remove inlet protection. 5.11 Construction Stormwater Conveyance Channels General The Contractor shall control the grading in areas under construction so that the surface of the ground will properly slope to prevent accumulation of water in excavated areas and adjacent properties. Grass lined channels, riprap lined channels, and vegetated swales are all natural or constructed waterways or outlets utilized to convey stormwater away from the work area to a stable location, while at the same time, reducing the velocity and turbidity of the flow. Use in all areas where concentrated run-off would otherwise cause erosion/flooding. Specific Stormwater Conveyance Channel Measures Description • Temporary diversion swales and berms will be excavated where necessary prior to the start of major earthmoving operations to ensure minimal erosion and to keep areas as free from surface water. Refer to the Project Drawings. Installation • The swales will be used to channel water from disturbed areas to temporary sediment traps. Swale slopes will be stabilized with seed within seven days of installation. If the swale slopes are greater than 3:1 they will be stabilized with crushed stone, jute netting or turf reinforcement mats. The proposed locations of temporary diversions swales and berms are depicted in the Contract Documents. Maintenance Requirements • Stormwater conveyance channels shall be inspected on a regular basis. • Maintenance shall be completed to ensure that stormwater routed to conveyance channels does not circumvent the limits of the channels, and that the velocity of the stormwater is reduced. Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-8 • Additional erosion control measures may be installed within the conveyance channel as necessary. 5.12 Chemical Treatment Treatment chemicals will not be utilized at the site. 5.13 Dewatering Practices General During excavation activities it may be necessary to dewater in the instance that high groundwater or saturated soil is present. Standard dewatering measures will be employed. No untreated groundwater will be discharged to wetlands or waterways. Excess water will be discharged overland in upland areas and allowed to naturally infiltrate after passing through filtration sacks or similar treatment alternatives. To the extent possible, dewatering activities should be located outside of the 100-foot Buffer Zone to resource areas. If dewatering occurs within the 100-foot Buffer Zone, activities should be monitored. Dewatering activities should be confined within an area of secondary containment. Specific Dewatering Practices Dewatering Practice Description • Shall be performed as per CGP requirements and Eversource Best Management Practices. • Provide, operate, and maintain adequate pumping, diversion, and drainage facilities in accordance with the approved dewatering plan to maintain the excavated area sufficiently dry from groundwater and/or surface runoff so as not to adversely affect construction procedures nor cause excessive disturbance of underlying natural ground. Locate dewatering system components so that they do not interfere with construction under this or other contracts. • Install erosion/sedimentation controls for velocity dissipation at point discharges onto non-paved surfaces. Installation • Install sand and gravel, or crushed stone, filters in conjunction with sumps, well points, and/or deep wells to prevent the migration of fines from the existing soil during the dewatering operation. • Transport pumped or drained water without interference to other work, damage to pavement, other surfaces, or property. Pump water through a silt filter bag prior to discharge to grade of drainage system. • Do not discharge water into any sanitary sewer system. • Provide separately controllable pumping lines. Maintenance Requirements • Repair any damage resulting from the failure of the dewatering operations and any damage resulting from the failure to maintain all the areas of work in a suitable dry condition. Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-9 • Take actions necessary to ensure that dewatering discharges comply with permits applicable to the Project. Dispose of water from the trenches and excavations in such a manner as to avoid public nuisance, injury to public health or the environment, damage to public or private property, or damage to the work completed or in progress. 5.14 Site Stabilization Total Amount of Land Disturbance Occurring at Any One Time Five acres or less Greater than five acres General Complete the stabilization activities as specified in CGP Parts 2.2.14.a and/or 2.2.14.b. Initiate the installation of stabilization measures immediately in any areas of exposed soil where construction activities have permanently ceased or will be temporarily inactive for 14 or more calendar days. Complete the installation of stabilization measures as soon as practicable, but no later than 14 calendar days after stabilization has been initiated. Only use the following stabilization practices if you are not located in an arid, semi-arid, or drought-stricken area. 5.14.1 Seeding Vegetative Non-Vegetative Temporary Permanent Installation • When construction has temporarily or permenantly ceased, seeding shall occur immediately. Permanent seeding shall occur on any non-jurisdictional, graded or cleared upland area which has been completed as designed or will not be brought to final grade for 12 months or more. Maintenance Requirements • Periodic inspections shall occur once a week and after every rainstorm 0.25 inches or greater until a minimum of 70% of the soil surface is covered by vegetation. Refer to Eversource Best Management Practices and the approved seed submittal. 5.14.2 Mulching Vegetative Non-Vegetative Temporary Permanent Installation • When construction will be temporarily or permenantly ceased, mulching shall occur immediately over seeding, as required, for erosion control while vegetation is being established. Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-10 Maintenance Requirements • Periodic inspections shall occur once a week and after every rainstorm 0.25 inches or greater. Refer to Eversource Best Management Practices and the approved mulch submittal. 5.14.3 Erosion Control Mats or Blankets Vegetative Non-Vegetative Temporary Permanent Description of Practice • Organic or synthetic materials applied to the soil surface as a continuous sheet. Used to protect disturbed areas from erosion and to enhance seed growth, typically where moving water is likely to wash out new vegetative plantings and mulches are ineffective. • Commonly used techniques include erosion control blankets which are made of mulch material surrounded by a plastic netting, jute mats which are sheets of woven jute fiber, and turf reinforcement matting which is usually a geotextile matrix most effective for channels. Maintenance Requirements • Periodic inspections shall occur once a week and after every rainstorm 0.25 inches or greater. Refer to Eversource Best Management Practices and the approved mat or blanket submittal. 5.14.4 Surface Roughening Vegetative Non-Vegetative Temporary Permanent Description of Practice • Roughening a bare soil surface either with horizontal grooves running across the slope, stair stepping, or tracking with construction equipment. An inexpensive and simple temporary control measure that encourages water infiltration, speeds the establishment of vegetation, and decreases runoff velocity.

Inspection Report Forms Inspection forms are located in Appendix D. The Inspector is to copy blank forms, fill out, and place in Appendix D of this report within 24 hours of the inspection. Copies of the inspection reports will be provided to the Owner and Engineer weekly. Section 7 Inspection and Corrective Action Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 7-4 7.3 Corrective Action Routine Maintenance vs. Corrective Action Inspections During inspections, operator may observe conditions requiring followup action in the form of routine maintenance or corrective action. Routine Maintenance Triggered by the need for minor repairs or other upkeep performed to ensure site’s controls remain in effective operating condition. Minor repairs are those that generally can be completed by the close of the next business day. Corrective Action Triggered by the need for a significant repair or a new or replacement control, or by the occurrence of specific conditions. Triggered by the repeated need to repair a control (3+) which is not performing as intended. Personnel Responsible for Corrective Actions The Team Member or delegated person identified in Section 2.2 or Appendix J, respectively, shall be responsible for completing Corrective Actions, completing Corrective Action Reports as outline in the CGP and below, and maintaining current copies of all inspection reports on-site or at an easily accessible location. A Correction Action is an action taken to: • Repair, modify, or replace any stormwater controls used at the site. • Clean up and proper disposal of spills, releases, or other deposits. • Remedy a permit violation. Corrective Action Requirements When a problem with the erosion or sediment controls is encountered, necessary repairs or modifications must be completed within one workday upon discovery of erosion and sediment controls needing to be replaced or repaired. Should significant repairs or additional controls be required, new or modified controls must be in place within seven (7) days. Where a corrective action results in changes to any of the stormwater controls or procedures it must be documented in the SWPPP within seven (7) days of completing the corrective action. If it is determined that the stormwater controls as installed and maintained are not effective enough for the discharge, the EPA regional office must be notified by the end of the next calendar day. Notification shall also be through the EPA’s electronic NOI system. Corrective Action Report For each corrective action taken, a Corrective Action Report, located in Appendix E, must be completed. Within 24 hours of discovering the occurrence of condition requiring corrective action, a report must be completed that includes: • Which condition was identified at the site. Section 7 Inspection and Corrective Action Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 7-5 • The nature of the conditions identified. • The date and time of the condition identified and how it was identified. Within seven days of discovering the occurrence of condition requiring corrective action, a report must be completed that includes: • Any follow-up actions taken to review the design, installation, and maintenance of stormwater controls, including the dates of such actions occurred. • A summary of stormwater control modifications taken or to be taken, including a schedule of activities necessary to implement changes, and the date the modifications are completed or expected to be completed. • Notice of whether SWPPP modifications are required as a result of the condition identified or corrective action. Copies of the Corrective Action Reports will be provided to the Owner and Engineer weekly. 7.4 SWPPP Modifications SWPPP modifications are required pursuant to CGP Part 7.4.1 in the following circumstances: • Whenever new operators become active in construction activities on your site, or you make changes to your construction plans, stormwater control measures, pollution prevention measures, or other activities at your site that are no longer accurately reflected in your SWPPP. • To reflect areas on the Project Drawings where operational control has been transferred (and the date of transfer) since initiating permit coverage. • If inspections or investigations determine that SWPPP modifications are necessary for compliance with this permit. • Where EPA determines it is necessary to impose additional requirements on your discharge. • To reflect any revisions to applicable federal, state, tribal, or local requirements that affect the stormwater control measures implemented at the site. SWPPP changes shall be recorded on the SWPPP Amendment Log in Appendix F within 7 days following the occurrence of any of the above circumstances. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 8-1 Section 8 Turbidity Benchmark Monitoring for Dewatering Discharges For sites discharging dewatering water to “sensitive waters” (i.e., receiving waters listed as impaired for sediment or a sediment-related parameter (as defined in Appendix A of the CGP), or receiving waters designated as a Tier 2, Tier 2.5, or Tier 3 for antidegradation purposes), turbidity benchmark monitoring is required under Part 3.3 of the CGP. • Sampling of dewatering discharge will be collected from dewatering discharge locations. • Samples will be collected at the beginning of and during dewatering activities to ensure that dewatering discharge is in compliance with Part 3.3 and Part 7.2.8 of the 2022 CGP. • Sample collection will follow Standard Operating Procedures for collection of stormwater and turbidity samples. • Sampling locations will be depicted on a site plan to be submitted with SWPPP inspection forms and quarterly benchmark monitoring submittals to EPA. No dewatering discharges to sensitive waters are proposed. 8.1 Turbidity Benchmark The benchmark threshold for turbidity under the CGP is 50 NTUs, unless EPA has authorized the use of an alternate benchmark in accordance with Part 3.3.2.b. At any time prior to or during coverage under this permit, you may request that EPA approve a benchmark for your site that is higher than 50 NTUs based on information demonstrating that the higher number is the same as the receiving waters’ water quality standard for turbidity. Comparison of turbidity samples to benchmark • Compare the weekly average of turbidity monitoring results to the standard 50 NTU benchmark, or alternate benchmark if approved by EPA. o If the weekly average exceeds the benchmark, conduct follow-up corrective action (in accordance with Part 5.2.2) and document any correction action taken in your Corrective Action Log. • For averaging purposes, a “monitoring week” typically starts with a Monday and ends on Sunday. Once a new monitoring week starts, a new average for that week will be calculated from the monitoring results. • Although not required, if more than one sample is collected from the dewatering discharge, these results will be included in the calculation of the weekly average. • For more than one dewatering discharge point, a weekly average turbidity value will be calculated for each discharge point. Section 8 Inspection and Corrective Action Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 8-2 8.2 Reporting and Recordkeeping Weekly turbidity sampling reports must be sent to EPA within 30 days following the end of each monitoring quarter (refer to Table 8-1 below). If there are monitoring weeks in which there was no dewatering discharge, or if there is a monitoring quarter with no dewatering discharge, this information will be indicated in the monitoring report. In addition, if another Operator associated with the site is conducting turbidity monitoring, that will be included in the monitoring report. TABLE 8-1 Monitoring Quarters and Deadlines for Reporting Turbidity Benchmark Monitoring Data Monitoring Quarter # Months Reporting Deadline (Within 30 days after end of the quarter) 1 January 1 – March 31 April 30 2 April 1 – June 30 July 30 3 July 1 – September 30 October 30 4 October 1 – December 31 January 30 Quarterly turbidity monitoring data will be submitted via EPA’s NPDES eReporting Tool (NeT) unless a waiver has been received from the applicable EPA Regional Office. Monitoring information will be recorded for each day in which monitoring is required. This information will be retained for a period of at least three years from the expiration date of the CGP (February 16, 2027) or from the date authorization is terminated. 9-1 Section 9 Training The following personnel, at a minimum, must receive training: • Personnel who are responsible for the design, installation, maintenance, and/or repair of stormwater controls (including pollution prevention measures). • Personnel responsible for the application and storage of treatment chemicals. • Personnel who are responsible for conducting stormwater inspections. • Personnel who are responsible for taking corrective actions as required. At a minimum the required personnel must be trained to understand the following if related to the scope of their job duties: • The location of all stormwater controls on the site required by this permit, and how they are to be maintained. • The proper procedures to follow with respect to the permit’s pollution prevention requirements. • When and how to conduct inspections, record applicable findings, and take corrective actions.

Yes Title: Senior Environmental Scientist Phone: 508-304-6354 Ext.: Email: AJHoule@tighebond.com   In determining my "action area", I have considered that discharges of pollutants into downstream areas can expand the action area well beyond the footprint of my site and the discharge point(s). I have taken into account the controls I will be implementing to minimize pollutants and the receiving waterbody characteristics (e.g., perennial, intermittent, ephemeral) in determining the extent of physical, chemical, and/or biotic effects of the discharges. I confirm that all receiving waterbodies that could receive pollutants from my site are included in my action area. True  In determining my "action area", I have considered that discharge-related activities must also be accounted for in determining my action area. I understand that discharge-related activities are any activities that cause, contribute to, or result in stormwater and authorized non-stormwater point source discharges, and measures such as the siting, construction timing, and operation of stormwater controls to control, reduce, or prevent pollutants from being discharged. I understand that any new or modified stormwater controls that will have noise or other similar effects, and any disturbances associated with construction of controls, are part of my action area. True Successfully saved your form Determine is ESA-listed species and/or critical habitat are in your site action area. ESA-listed species and designated critical habitat are under the purview of the NMFS and the USFWS, and in many cases, you will need to acquire species and critical habitat lists from both federal agencies.

You may be eligible under Criterion C. You must assess whether your discharges or discharge-related activities are likely to result in short- or long-term adverse effects to ESA-listed threatened or endangered species or designated critical habitat. In order to make a determination of your site's likelihood of short- or long-term adverse effects, you must complete the Criterion C Eligibility fields below. You are eligible under Criterion C. Provide the rationale describing specifically how adverse effects to ESA-listed species will be avoided from the discharge and discharge-related activities. There are no anticipated impacts to the NLEB or sandplain gerardia as a result of the project activities because the critical hab itats for these species is not found within the action area. Additionally all tree-clearing will occur outside of active period f or this species.

Yes Identify the USFWS information sources used (Note: state resources are not acceptable): The United States Fish and Wildlife Service's IPaC online tool was consulted on 1/16/2023 for the presence on threatened and enge ndered species. Upon review, the action area was determined to be within the range of the northern long-eared bat (Myotis serpent rionalis; Endangered) and Sandplain Gerardia (Agalinis acuta; Endangered). It was determined that the action area would not impac t the endangered species as their critical habitat is not present. Although tree-clearing is part of the project, will occur outs ide of the active periods (April-October) for this species. A review of the Massachusetts Natural Heritage & Endangered Species P rogram Priority and Estimated Habitat of Rare Species indicated that the action area is not within mapped Priority or Estimated H abitat.

A separate inspection template has been developed specifically for dewatering activities and is available at https://www.epa.gov/npdes/construction-general-permit-resources-tools-and-templates. Keep in mind that this document is a template and not an “off-the-shelf” inspection report that is ready to use without some modification. You must first customize this form to include the specifics of your project in order for it to be useable for your inspection reports. Once you have entered all of your sitespecific information into the blank fields, you may use this form to complete inspection reports. The following tips for using this template will help you ensure that the minimum permit requirements are met: • Review the inspection requirements. Before you start developing your inspection report form, read the CGP’s Part 4 inspection requirements. This will ensure that you have a working understanding of the permit’s underlying inspection requirements. • Complete all required blank fields. Fill out all blank fields. Only by filling out all fields will the template be compliant with the requirements of the permit. (Note: Where you do not need the number of rows provided in the template form for your inspection, you may delete these or cross them off as you see fit. Or, if you need more space to document your findings, you may insert additional rows in the electronic version of this form or use the bottom of the page in the field version of this form.) • Use your site map to document inspection findings. In several places in the template, you are directed to specify the location of certain features of your site, including where stormwater controls are installed and where you will be stabilizing exposed soil. You are also asked to fill in location information for unsafe conditions and the locations of any discharges occurring during your inspections. Where you are asked for location information, EPA encourages you to reference the point on your SWPPP site map that corresponds to the requested location on the inspection form. Using the site map as a tool in this way will help you conduct efficient inspections, will assist you in evaluating problems found, and will ensure proper documentation. • Complete the inspection report within 24 hours of completing a site inspection. You must complete an inspection report in accordance with Part 4.7.1 of the CGP. • Include the inspection form with your SWPPP. Once your form is complete, make sure to include a copy of the inspection form in your SWPPP in accordance with Part 7.2.7.e of the CGP. • Retain copies of all inspection reports with your records. You must also retain in your records copies of all inspection reports in accordance with the requirements in Part 4.7.3 of the CGP. These reports must be retained for at least 3 years from the date your permit coverage expires or is terminated in accordance with the requirements in Part 4.7.4 of the CGP. Instructions for Section A Inspector Name Enter the name of the person that conducted the inspection. Include the person’s contact information (title, affiliated company name, address, email, and phone number). Inspection Date and Time Enter the date you performed the inspection and the time you started and ended the inspection. Weather Conditions During Inspection Enter the weather conditions occurring during the inspection, e.g., sunny, overcast, light rain, heavy rain, snowing, icy, windy. Current Phase of Construction If this project is being completed in more than one phase, indicate which phase it is currently in. Inspection Location If your project has multiple locations where you conduct separate inspections, specify the location where this inspection is being conducted. If only one inspection is conducted for your entire project, enter “Entire Site.” If necessary, complete additional inspection report forms for each separate inspection location. Unsafe Conditions for Inspection (CGP Part 4.5.7) Inspections are not required where a portion of the site or the entire site is subject to unsafe conditions. These conditions should not regularly occur and should not be consistently present on a site. Generally, unsafe conditions are those that render the site (or a portion of it) inaccessible or that would pose a significant probability of injury to applicable personnel. Examples could include severe storm or flood conditions, high winds, and downed electrical wires. If your site, or a portion of it, is affected by unsafe conditions during the time of your inspection, provide a description of the conditions that prevented you from conducting the inspection and what parts of the site were affected. If the entire site was considered unsafe, specify the location as “Entire Site.” Inspection Frequency Check all the inspection frequencies that apply to your project. Note that you may be subject to different inspection frequencies in different areas of your site. Inspection Triggered by a Storm Event If you were required to conduct this inspection because of a storm event that produced 0.25 inches or more of rain within a 24-hour period, indicate whether you relied on an on-site rain gauge or a nearby weather station (and where the weather station is located). Also, specify the total amount of rainfall for this specific storm event. If you were required to conduct this inspection because of a snowmelt discharge from a storm event that produced 3.25 inches or more of snow within a 24hour period, then indicate whether you relied on an on-site measurement or a nearby weather station (and where the weather station is located). Also, specify the total amount of snowfall for this specific storm event. Instructions for Section B Type and Location of Erosion and Sediment (E&S) Controls Provide a list of all erosion and sediment (E&S) controls that your SWPPP indicates will be installed and implemented at your site. This list must include at a minimum all E&S controls required by CGP Part 2.2. Include also any natural buffers established under CGP Part 2.2.1. Buffer requirements apply if your project’s earth-disturbing activities will occur within 50 feet of a discharge to receiving water. You may group your E&S controls on your form if you have several of the same type of controls (e.g., you may group “Inlet Protection Measures,” “Perimeter Controls,” and “Stockpile Controls” together on one line), but if there are any problems with a specific control, you must separately identify the location of the control, whether routine maintenance or corrective action is necessary, and in the notes section you must describe the specifics about the problem you observed. Conditions Requiring Routine Maintenance? Answer “Yes” if the E&S control requires routine maintenance as defined in footnote 1 of this template. Note that in many cases, “Yes” answers are expected and indicate a project with an active operation and maintenance program. You should also answer “Yes” if work to fix the problem is still ongoing from the previous inspection, though necessary work must be initiated immediately and completed by the end of the next business day or within seven calendar days if documented in accordance with CGP Part 2.1.4.b. If “Yes,” How Many Times (Including this Occurrence) Has this Condition Been Identified? Indicate how many times the routine maintenance has been required for the same control at the same location. Conditions Requiring Corrective Action? Answer “Yes” if you found any of the conditions listed in footnote 2 in this template to be present during your inspection (CGP Part 5.1). If you answer “Yes,” you must take corrective action and complete a corrective action log, found at https://www.epa.gov/npdes/construction-general-permit-resources-toolsand-templates. You should also answer “Yes” if work to fix the problem from a previous inspection is still ongoing, though the operator must comply with the corrective action deadlines in CGP Part 5.2. Date on Which Condition First Observed (If Applicable)? Provide the date on which the condition that triggered the need for routine maintenance or corrective action was first identified. If the condition was just discovered during this inspection, enter the inspection date. If the condition is a carryover from a previous inspection, enter the original date of the condition’s discovery. Description of Conditions Observed For each E&S control and the area immediately surrounding it, describe whether the control is properly installed and whether it appears to be working to minimize sediment discharge. Indicate also whether a new or modified control is necessary to comply with the permit. Describe any problem condition(s) you observed such as the following: 1. Failure to install or to properly install a required E&S control 2. Damage or destruction to an E&S control caused by vehicles, equipment, or personnel, a storm event, or other event 3. Mud or sediment deposits found downslope from E&S controls, including in receiving waters, or on nearby streets, curbs, or open conveyance channels 4. Sediment tracked out onto paved areas by vehicles leaving construction site 5. Noticeable erosion or sedimentation at discharge outlets or at adjacent streambanks or channels 6. Erosion of the site’s sloped areas (e.g., formation of rills or gullies) 7. E&S control is no longer working due to lack of maintenance 8. Other incidents of noncompliance Describe also why you think the problem condition(s) occurred as well as actions (e.g., routine maintenance or corrective action) you will take or have taken to fix the problem. For buffer areas, make note of whether they are marked off as required, whether there are signs of construction disturbance within the buffer, which is prohibited under the CGP, and whether there are visible signs of erosion resulting from discharges through the area. If routine maintenance or corrective action is required, briefly note the reason. If routine maintenance or corrective action has been completed, make a note of the date it was completed and what was done. If corrective action is required, note that you will need to complete a separate corrective action log describing the condition and your work to fix the problem. Routine Maintenance Need Has Been Found to be Necessary Three (3) or More Times for the Same Control at the Same Location (Including this Occurrence) If routine maintenance has been required three (3) or more times for the same control at the same location, the permit requires (CGP Part 2.1.4.c) you to fix the problem using the corrective action procedures in CGP Part 5 or to document why you believe the reoccurring problem can be addressed as a routine maintenance fix. If you believe the problem can continue to be fixed as routine maintenance, describe why you believe the specific condition should still be addressed as routine maintenance. Instructions for Section C Type and Location of Pollution Prevention (P2) Practices and Controls Provide a list of all pollution prevention (P2) practices and controls that are implemented at your site. This list must include all P2 practices and controls required by CGP Part 2.3 and those that are described in your SWPPP. Conditions Requiring Routine Maintenance? Answer “Yes” if the P2 practice or control requires routine maintenance as defined in footnote 1of this template. Note that in many cases, “Yes” answers are expected and indicate a project with an active operation and maintenance program. You should also answer “Yes” if work to fix the problem is still ongoing from the previous inspection, though necessary work must be initiated immediately and completed by the end of the next business day or within seven calendar days if documented in accordance with CGP Part 2.1.4.b. If “Yes,” How Many Times (Including this Occurrence) Has this Condition Been Identified? Indicate how many times the routine maintenance has been required for the same practice or control at the same location. Conditions Requiring Corrective Action? Answer “Yes” if you found any of the conditions listed in footnote 2 in this template to be present during your inspection (CGP Part 5.1). If you answer “Yes,” you must take corrective action and complete a corrective action log, found at https://www.epa.gov/npdes/construction-general-permit-resources-toolsand-templates. You should also answer “Yes” if work to fix the problem from a previous inspection is still ongoing, though the operator must comply with the corrective action deadlines in CGP Part 5.2. Date on Which Condition First Observed (If Applicable)? Provide the date on which the condition that triggered the need for maintenance or corrective action was first identified. If the condition was just discovered during this inspection, enter the inspection date. If the condition is a carryover from a previous inspection, enter the original date of the condition’s discovery. Description of Conditions Observed For each P2 control and the area immediately surrounding it, describe whether the control is properly installed, and whether it appears to be working to minimize or eliminate pollutant discharges. Indicate also whether a new or modified control is necessary to comply with the permit. Describe any problem condition(s) you observed such as the following: 1. Failure to install or to properly install a required P2 control 2. Damage or destruction to a P2 control caused by vehicles, equipment, or personnel, or a storm event 3. Evidence of a spill, leak, or other type of pollutant discharge, or failure to have properly cleaned up a previous spill, leak, or other type of pollutant discharge 4. Spill response supplies are absent, insufficient, or not where they are supposed to be located 5. Improper storage, handling, or disposal of chemicals, building materials or products, fuels, or wastes 6. P2 control is no longer working due to lack of maintenance 7. Other incidents of noncompliance Describe also why you think the problem condition(s) occurred as well as actions (e.g., routine maintenance or corrective action) you will take or have taken to fix the problem. If routine maintenance or corrective action is required, briefly note the reason. If routine maintenance or corrective action has been completed, make a note of the date it was completed and what was done. If corrective action is required, note that you will need to complete a separate corrective action log describing the condition and your work to fix the problem. Routine Maintenance Need Was Found to be Necessary Three (3) or More Times for the Same Control at the Same Location (Including this Occurrence) If routine maintenance has been required three (3) or more times for the same control at the same location, the permit requires (CGP Part 2.1.4.c) you to fix the problem using the corrective action procedures in CGP Part 5 or to document why you believe the reoccurring problem can be addressed as a routine maintenance fix. If you believe the problem can continue to be fixed as routine maintenance, describe why you believe the specific condition should still be addressed as routine maintenance. Instructions for Section D Specific Location That Has Been or Will Be Stabilized List all areas where soil stabilization is required to begin because construction work in that area has permanently stopped or temporarily stopped (i.e., work will stop for 14 or more days), and all areas where stabilization has been implemented (CGP Part 2.2.14). Stabilization Method and Applicable Deadline For each area, specify the method of stabilization (e.g., hydroseed, sod, planted vegetation, erosion control blanket, mulch, rock). Specify also which of the following stabilization deadlines apply to this location: 1. 5 acres or less of land disturbance occurring at any one time at site: Complete no later than 14 calendar days after stabilization initiated. 2. More than 5 acres of land disturbance occurring at any one time at site: Complete no later than 7 calendar days after stabilization initiated. 3. Arid, semi-arid, and drought-stricken areas: See CGP Part 2.2.14.b.i. 4. Unforeseen circumstances: See CGP Part 2.2.14.b.ii. 5. Discharges to a sediment- or nutrient-impaired water or to a water identified as Tier 2, 2.5, or 3 for antidegradation purposes: Complete no later than 7 days after stabilization initiated. Stabilization Initiated? For each area, indicate whether stabilization has been initiated. If “Yes,” then enter the date stabilization was initiated. Final Stabilization Criteria Met? For each area, indicate whether the final stabilization criteria in CGP Part 2.2.14.c have been met. If “Yes,” then enter the date final stabilization criteria were met. Final Stabilization Photos Taken? Answer “Yes” if you have taken photos before and after meeting the stabilization criteria as required in CGP Part 8.2.1.a. Notes For each area where stabilization has been initiated, describe the progress that has been made and what additional actions are necessary to complete stabilization. Note the effectiveness of stabilization in preventing erosion. If stabilization has been initiated but not completed, make a note of the date it is to be completed. If stabilization has been completed, make a note of the date it was completed. If stabilization has not yet been initiated, make a note of the date it is to be initiated and the date it is to be completed. Instructions for Section E You are only required to complete this section if a discharge is occurring at the time of the inspection (CGP Part 4.6.2). Was a discharge (not including dewatering) occurring from any part of your site at the time of the inspection? During your inspection, examine all points of discharge from your site, and determine whether a discharge is occurring. If a dewatering discharge was occurring, you must conduct a dewatering inspection pursuant to CGP Part 4.3.2. If there is a discharge, answer “Yes” and complete the questions below regarding the specific discharge. If there is not a discharge, answer “No” and skip to the next page. Discharge Location (Repeat as necessary if there are multiple points of discharge.) Specify the location on your site where the discharge is occurring. The location may be an outlet from a stormwater control or constructed stormwater channel, a discharge into a storm sewer inlet, or a specific point on the site. Be as specific as possible; it is recommended that you refer to a precise point on your site map. Observations Document the visual quality of the discharge and take note of the characteristics of the stormwater discharge, including color; odor; floating, settled, or suspended solids; foam; oily sheen; and other indicators of stormwater pollutants. Also, document signs of these same pollutant characteristics that are visible from your site and attributable to your discharge in receiving waters or in other constructed or natural site drainage features. Instructions for Section F Each inspection report must be signed and certified to be considered complete (CGP Part 4.7.2). Operator or “Duly Authorized Representative” – MANDATORY (CGP Appendix G Part G.11.2 and CGP Appendix H Section X) At a minimum, the site inspection report must be signed by either (1) the person who signed the NOI, or (2) a duly authorized representative of that person. The following requirements apply: If the signatory will be the person who signed the NOI for permit coverage, as a reminder, that person must be one of the following types of individuals: • For a corporation: By a responsible corporate officer. For the purpose of this subsection, a responsible corporate officer means: (i) a president, secretary, treasurer, or vice-president of the corporation in charge of a principal business function, or any other person who performs similar policy- or decisionmaking functions for the corporation, or (ii) the manager of one or more manufacturing, production, or operating facilities, provided, the manager is authorized to make management decisions which govern the operation of the regulated facility including having the explicit or implicit duty of making major capital investment recommendations, and initiating and directing other comprehensive measures to assure long term environmental compliance with environmental laws and regulations; the manager can ensure that the necessary systems are established or actions taken to gather complete and accurate information for permit application requirements; and where authority to sign documents has been assigned or delegated to the manager in accordance with corporate procedures. • For a partnership or sole proprietorship: By a general partner or the proprietor, respectively. • For a municipality, State, Federal, or other public agency: By either a principal executive officer or ranking elected official. For purposes of this subsection, a principal executive officer of a Federal agency includes (i) the chief executive officer of the agency, or (ii) a senior executive officer having responsibility for the overall operations of a principal geographic unit of the agency (e.g., Regional Administrator of EPA). If the signatory will be a duly authorized representative, the following requirements must be met: • The authorization is made in writing by the person who signed the NOI (see above); • The authorization specifies either an individual or a position having responsibility for the overall operation of the regulated facility or activity such as the position of plant manager, operator of a well or a well field, superintendent, position of equivalent responsibility, or an individual or position having overall responsibility for environmental matters for the company. (A duly authorized representative may thus be either a named individual or any individual occupying a named position); and • The signed and dated written authorization is included in the SWPPP. A copy must be submitted to EPA, if requested. Sign, date and print your name and affiliation. Contractor or Subcontractor - OPTIONAL Where you rely on a contractor or subcontractor to complete the site inspection report, you should consider requiring the individual(s) to sign and certify each report. Note that this does not relieve you, the permitted operator, of the requirement to sign and certify the site inspection report as well. If applicable, sign, date, and print your name and affiliation. Note While EPA has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of all instructions contained in this template, it is the permit, not this template, that determines the actual obligations of regulated construction stormwater discharges. In the event of a conflict between this template and any corresponding provision of the CGP, you must abide by the requirements in the permit.

If you are covered under the 2022 CGP, you can use this template to create a dewatering inspection report form that complies with the minimum reporting requirements of Part 4.6.3 of the permit. Note that the use of this form is optional; you may use your own inspection report form provided it includes the minimum information required in Part 4.6.3 of the CGP. This template is for dewatering inspections only. A separate site inspection report template that does not include dewatering inspections and complies with the minimum reporting requirements of Part 4.7 of the permit is available at https://www.epa.gov/npdes/construction-general-permit-resources-tools-andtemplates. If you are covered under a State CGP, this template may be helpful in developing a report that can be used for that permit; however, it will need to be modified to meet the specific requirements of that permit. If your permitting authority requires you to use a specific inspection report form, you should not use this form. The following tips for using this template will help you ensure that the minimum permit requirements are met: • Review the inspection requirements. Before you start developing your inspection report form, read the CGP’s Part 4 inspection requirements. This will ensure that you have a working understanding of the permit’s underlying inspection requirements. • Complete all required blank fields. Fill out all blank fields. Only by filling out all fields will the template be compliant with the requirements of the permit. (Note: Where you do not need the number of rows provided in the template form for your inspection, you may delete these as you see fit. Or, if you need more space to document your findings, you may insert additional rows in the electronic version of this form or use the bottom of the page in the field version of this form.) • Use your site map to document inspection findings. In several places in the template, you are directed to specify the location of certain features of your site, including where stormwater controls are installed and where you will be stabilizing exposed soil. You are also asked to fill in location information for unsafe conditions and the locations of any discharges occurring during your inspections. Where you are asked for location information, EPA encourages you to reference the point on your SWPPP site map that corresponds to the requested location on the inspection form. Using the site map as a tool in this way will help you conduct efficient inspections, will assist you in evaluating problems found, and will ensure proper documentation. • Include the inspection form with your SWPPP. Once your form is complete, make sure to include a copy of the inspection form in your SWPPP in accordance with Part 7.2.7.e of the CGP. • Retain copies of all inspection reports with your records. You must also retain copies of all inspection reports in your records in accordance with the requirements in Part 4.7.3 of the CGP. These reports must be retained for at least 3 years from the date your permit coverage expires or is terminated in accordance with the requirements in Part 4.7.4 of the CGP. Instructions for Section A Inspector Name Enter the name of the person that conducted the inspection. Include the person’s contact information (title, affiliated company name, address, email, and phone number). Inspection Date Enter the date you performed the inspection. Inspection Location If your project has multiple locations where you conduct separate dewatering inspections, specify the location where this inspection is being conducted. Otherwise, you can enter “dewatering operation.” Discharge Start and End Times Enter the approximate time the dewatering discharge started and ended on the day of the inspection. Rate of Discharge Enter the rate of discharge in gallons per day on the day of inspection. To estimate the approximate discharge rate on the day of dewatering inspection, one approach is to use the manufacturer’s design pump rating for the pump model in use. For example, a pump rated at 164 gpm (gallons per minute) by the manufacturer can be assumed to be discharging at 164 gpm in most cases. To convert to gallons per day, multiply the rate in gpm by the ratio of minutes in one-day (1,440 minutes per day), resulting in a discharge rate of 236,160 gallons per day. In cases where the dewatering discharge is being pumped over long distances or a substantial distance uphill, which will result in a reduced pump rate relative to manufacturer’s specification, the operator may improve the accuracy of the estimate by estimating the time required to fill a container of a known volume. For example, if it takes 60 seconds to fill an empty 55-gallon barrel, the estimated discharge rate is 55 gpm, or 79,200 gallons per day. Indicators of Pollutant Discharge For the point of discharge, describe any observed sediment plume, suspended solids, unusual color, presence of odor, decreased clarity, or presence of foam; and/or a visible sheen on the water surface or visible oily deposits on the bottom or shoreline of the receiving water. Corrective Action Required? Answer “Yes” if during your inspection you found any of the conditions listed above in the instructions for the Indicators of Pollutant Discharge section. If you answer “Yes,” you must take corrective action and complete a corrective action log, found at https://www.epa.gov/npdes/construction-general-permitresources-tools-and-templates. Answer “No” if you did not observe any of the listed pollutant indicators. Photographs As required in CGP Part 8.2.1.a, attach photos of: (1) dewatering water prior to treatment by a dewatering control(s) and the final discharge after treatment; (2) the dewatering control(s); and (3) the point of discharge to any receiving waters flowing through or immediately adjacent to the site and/or to constructed or natural site drainage features, storm drain inlets, and other conveyances to receiving waters.

For each triggering condition on your site, you will need to fill out a separate corrective action log. The entire form must be completed to be compliant with the requirements of the permit. (Note: In Section C, if you do not need the number of rows provided in the corrective action log, you may delete these or cross them off. Alternatively, if you need more space to describe any modifications, you may insert additional rows in the electronic version of this form or use the bottom of the page in the field version of this form.) If you are covered under a State CGP, this template may be helpful in developing a log that can be used for that permit; however, you will likely need to modify this form to meet the specific requirements of any State-issued permit. If your permitting authority requires you to use a specific corrective action log, you should not use this template. Instructions for Section A Individual completing this form Enter the name of the person completing this log. Include the person’s contact information (title, affiliated company name, address, email, and phone number). Instructions for Section B You must complete Section B within 24 hours of discovering the condition that triggered corrective action. (CGP Part 5.4) When was the problem first discovered? Specify the date and time when the triggering condition was first discovered. What site conditions triggered this corrective action? (CGP Parts 5.1 and 5.3) Check the box corresponding to the numbered triggering condition below that applies to your site. 1. A stormwater control needs a significant repair or a new or replacement control is needed, or, in accordance with Part Error! Reference source not found., you find it necessary to repeatedly (i.e., 3 or more times) conduct the same routine maintenance fix to the same control at the same location (unless you document in your inspection report under Part Error! Reference source not found. that the specific reoccurrence of this same problem should still be addressed as a routine maintenance fix under Part Error! Reference source not found.); 2. A stormwater control necessary to comply with the requirements of this permit was never installed, or was installed incorrectly; 3. Your discharges are not meeting applicable water quality standards; 4. A prohibited discharge has occurred (see Part 1.3); 5. During discharge from site dewatering activities: a. The weekly average of your turbidity monitoring results exceeds the 50 NTU benchmark (or alternate benchmark if approved by EPA pursuant to Part Error! Reference source not found.); or b. You observe or you are informed by EPA, State, or local authorities of the presence of any of the following at the point of discharge to a receiving water flowing through or immediately adjacent to your site and/or to constructed or natural site drainage features or storm drain inlets: • sediment plume • suspended solids • unusual color • presence of odor • decreased clarity • presence of foam • visible sheen on the water surface or visible oily deposits on the bottom or shoreline of the receiving water 6. EPA requires corrective action as a result of permit violations found during an inspection carried out under Part 4.8. Provide a description of the problem (CGP Part 5.4.1.a) Provide a summary description of the condition you found that triggered corrective action, the cause of the problem (if identifiable), and the specific location where it was found. Be as specific as possible about the location; it is recommended that you refer to a precise point on your site map. Instructions for Section C You must complete Section C within 24 hours after completing the correction action. (CGP Part 5.4) Deadlines for completing corrective action for condition # 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 (if not relating to a dewatering discharge) (CGP Part 5.2.1) Check the box to confirm that you met the deadlines that apply to each triggering condition. You are always required to check the first box (i.e., Immediately took all reasonable steps to address the condition, including cleaning up any contaminated surfaces so the material will not discharge in subsequent storm events.). Only one of the next three boxes should be checked depending on the situation that applies to this corrective action. Check the second box if the corrective action for this particular triggering condition does not require a new or replacement control, or a significant repair. These actions must be completed by the close of the next business day from the time of discovery of the condition. Check the third box if the corrective action for this particular triggering condition requires a new or replacement control, or a significant repair. These actions must be completed by no later than seven calendar days from the time of discover of the condition. Check the fourth box if the corrective action for this particular triggering condition requires a new or replacement control, or a significant repair, and if it is infeasible to complete the work within seven calendar days. Additionally, you will need to fill out the table below the checkbox that requires: 1. An explanation as to why it was infeasible to complete the installation or repair within seven calendar days of discovering the condition. 2. Provide the schedule you will adhere to for installing the stormwater control and making it operational as soon as feasible after the seventh day following discovery. Note: Per Part 5.2.1.c, where these actions result in changes to any of the stormwater controls or procedures documented in your SWPPP, you must modify your SWPPP accordingly within seven calendar days of completing this work. Deadlines for completing corrective action for condition # 5a, 5b, or 6 related to a dewatering discharge (CGP Part 5.2.2) These deadlines apply to conditions relating to construction dewatering activities. Check the box to confirm that you met the deadlines that apply to each triggering condition. You are required to check all of the boxes in this section to indicate your compliance with the corrective action deadlines. List of modification(s) to correct problem Provide a list of modifications you completed to correct the problem. Date of completion Enter the date you completed the modification. The work must be completed by the deadline you indicated above. SWPPP update necessary? Check “Yes” or “No” to indicate if a SWPPP update is necessary consistent with Part 7.4.1.a in order to reflect changes implemented at your site. If “Yes,” then enter the date you updated your SWPPP. The SWPPP updates must be made within seven calendar days of completing a corrective action. (CGP Part 5.2.1.c) Instructions for Section D Each corrective action log entry must be signed and certified following completion of Section D to be considered complete. (CGP Part 5.4.2) Operator or “Duly Authorized Representative” – MANDATORY (CGP Appendix G Part G.11.2 and CGP Appendix H Section X) At a minimum, the corrective action log must be signed by either (1) the person who signed the NOI, or (2) a duly authorized representative of that person.

Federal and non-Federal project proponents have responsibilities under the Act to consider effects on li sted species.   The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed, and candidate species, as  well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).   New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and  implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested by returning to an existing project’s page in IPaC.  Endangered Species Act Project Review Please visit the “New England Field Office Endangered Species Project Review and Consultation” website for step-by-step instructions on how to consider effects on listed  01/16/2023   2     species and prepare and submit a project review package if necessary:  https://www.fws.gov/office/new-england-ecological-services/endangered-species-project-review *NOTE* Please do not use the Consultation Package Builder tool in IPaC except in specific  situations following coordination with our office. Please follow the project review guidance on  our website instead and reference your Project Code in all correspondence.  Northern Long-eared Bat - (Updated 12/27/2022) Please visit our New England Field Office Project Review webpage at the link above for updated northern long-eared bat consultation guidance. The Service published a final rule to reclassify the northern long-eared bat (NLEB) as endangered on November 30, 2022. The final rule will go into effect on January 30, 2023. After that date, the current 4(d) rule for NLEB will no longer be in effect, and the 4(d) determination key will no longer be available. New compliance tools will be available by mid- to late-January, and information will be posted on our New England Field Office Project Review webpage in January, so please check this s ite often for updates.   Depending on the type of effects a project has on NLEB, the change in the species’ status may  trigger the need to re-initiate consultation for any actions that are not completed and for which the Federal action agency retains discretion once the new listing determination becomes effective.  If your project may result in incidental take of NLEB after the ne w listing goes into  effect, this will need to be addressed in an updated consultation that includes an Incidental Take Statement. Many of these situations will be addressed through the new compliance tools. If your project may require re-initiation of consultation, please wait for information on the new tools to appear on our website or contact our office at newengland@fws.gov  for additional guidance.  Additional Info About Section 7 of the Act  Under section 7(a)(2) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal  agencies are required to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. If a Federal agency, or its non-Federal  representative, determines that liste d species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by  the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Federal agency also  may need to consider proposed species and proposed critical  habitat in the consultation. 50 CFR 402.14(c)(1) specifies the information required for  consultation under the Act regardless of the form at of the evaluation. More information on the  regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consu ltation Handbook" at:  https://www.fws.gov/service/section-7-consultations In addition to consultation requirements under Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA, please note that under  sections 7(a)(1) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and enda ngered species. Please contact NEFO if you would like more information.  Candidate species that appear on the enclosed species list have no current protections under the  01/16/2023   3     ▪ ESA. The species’ occurrence on an official species list does not convey a requirement to  consider impacts to this species as you would a proposed, threatened, or endangered species. The ESA does not provide for interagency consultations on candidate species under section 7, however, the Service recommends that all project proponents incorporate measures into projects  to benefit candidate species and their habitats wherever possible.  Migratory Birds  In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to protect native birds from project-related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional, resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)).

This IPaC key assists users in determining whether a non-Federal action may cause “take”[1] of the northern long-eared bat that is prohibited under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) (87 Stat.884, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Based upon your IPaC submission, any take of the northern long-eared bat that may occur as a result of the Action is not prohibited under the ESA Section 4(d) rule adopted for this species at 50 CFR §17.40(o). Unless the Service advises you within 30 days of the date of this letter that your IPaC-assisted determination was incorrect, this letter verifies that the Action is not likely to result in unauthorized take of the northern long-eared bat. Please report to our office any changes to the information about the Action that you entered into IPaC, the results of any bat surveys conducted in the Action area, and any dead, injured, or sick northern long-eared bats that are found during Action implementation. If your Action proceeds as described and no additional information about the Action’s effects on species protected under the ESA becomes available, no further coordination with the Service is required with respect to the northern long-eared bat. The IPaC-assisted determination for the northern long-eared bat does not apply to the following ESA-protected species that also may occur in your Action area: Monarch Butterfly Danaus plexippus Candidate 01/13/2023   2     ▪ Sandplain Gerardia Agalinis acuta Endangered You may coordinate with our Office to determine whether the Action may cause prohibited take of the animal species listed above. ________________________________________________ [1]Take means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct [ESA Section 3(19)]. 01/13/2023   3     Action Description You provided to IPaC the following name and description for the subject Action. 1. Name Eversource ERP Staging Yard 2. Description The following description was provided for the project 'Eversource ERP Staging Yard': Eversource Energy is proposing to construct a staging area on an undeveloped portion of the Yarmouth Work Center. Approximately three acres of forested land will be converted into a paved staging area to be used for storm staging. Approximate location of the project can be viewed in Google Maps: https://www.google.com/ maps/@41.6758769,-70.26339154918367,14z Determination Key Result This non-Federal Action may affect the northern long-eared bat; however, any take of this species that may occur incidental to this Action is not prohibited under the final 4(d) rule at 50 CFR §17.40(o). Determination Key Description: Northern Long-eared Bat 4(d) Rule This key was last updated in IPaC on May 15, 2017. Keys are subject to periodic revision. This key is intended for actions that may affect the threatened northern long-eared bat. The purpose of the key for non-Federal actions is to assist determinations as to whether proposed actions are excepted from take prohibitions under the northern long-eared bat 4(d) rule. If a non-Federal action may cause prohibited take of northern long-eared bats or other ESA-listed animal species, we recommend that you coordinate with the Service. 01/13/2023   4     1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Determination Key Result Based upon your IPaC submission, any take of the northern long-eared bat that may occur as a result of the Action is not prohibited under the ESA Section 4(d) rule adopted for this species at 50 CFR §17.40(o). Qualification Interview Is the action authorized, funded, or being carried out by a Federal agency? No Will your activity purposefully Take northern long-eared bats? No [Semantic] Is the project action area located wholly outside the White-nose Syndrome Zone? Automatically answered No Have you contacted the appropriate agency to determine if your project is near a known hibernaculum or maternity roost tree? Location information for northern long-eared bat hibernacula is generally kept in state Natural Heritage Inventory databases – the availability of this data varies state-by-state. Many states provide online access to their data, either directly by providing maps or by providing the opportunity to make a data request. In some cases, to protect those resources, access to the information may be limited. A web page with links to state Natural Heritage Inventory databases and other sources of information on the locations of northern long- eared bat roost trees and hibernacula is available at www.fws.gov/media/nleb-roost-tree- and-hibernacula-state-specific-data-links-0. Yes Will the action affect a cave or mine where northern long-eared bats are known to hibernate (i.e., hibernaculum) or could it alter the entrance or the environment (physical or other alteration) of a hibernaculum? No Will the action involve Tree Removal? Yes Will the action only remove hazardous trees for the protection of human life or property? No Will the action remove trees within 0.25 miles of a known northern long-eared bat hibernaculum at any time of year? No 01/13/2023   5     9.

Complete these tables using the process outlined on our website: http://fws.gov/office/new-england-ecological-services/endangered-spe cies-project-review 2. The Species Determination Table is used to document determinations, but additional information regarding the action area, project description, potential effects to the species/resource, conservation actions, and how you made your determination is required as part of a Project Review Package if a “may affect” determination is reached. See our website for more information. Notes for Listed Species (Threatened or Endangered) or Proposed Species: • If you determine “No Effect” no further consultation is necessary, and you may use this table for your records. • If you determine “May Affect, not likely to adversely affect,” (NLAA) submit a Project Review Package. • If you determine “May Affect, likely to adversely affect” (LAA), contact us to either initiate formal consultation or initiate discussion on ways to avoid adverse effects. Notes for Candidate Species: • There are no protections for candidate species under the ESA and therefore no requirement for consultation. No section 7 determinations should be made for candidate species. • You may consider implementing voluntary conservation measures if suitable habitat is present or species is known to occur in action area. Notes for Critical Habitat: • Essential physical and biological features (PBFs) can be found in Recovery Plans or federal register notices regarding Critical Habitat designations • If designated Critical Habitat PBFs are not present in the action area, you may determine “No Effect” and no further consultation is necessary. • If designated Critical Habitat PBFs are present in the action area, and you determine “May Affect, not likely to adversely affect,” (NLAA) submit a Project Review Package. • If designated Critical Habitat PBFs are present in the action area and you believe that adverse effects may occur, please contact our office. “Adverse modification” is a direct or indirect alteration that appreciably diminishes the value of critical habitat for the conservation of a listed species. Such alterations may include, but are not limited to, alteration of the physical or biological features essential to the conservation of a species or that preclude or significantly delay development of such features. This determination requires formal consultation with the Service.

For Species: “No effect” “NLAA” “LAA” Explain what info was used to determine presence of suitable habitat and/or species. Threatened Northern Longeared Bat (Myotis septenrionalis) Suitable habitat not present Note: This bat generally is associated with old-growth forests composed of trees 100 years old or older. It relies on intact interior forest habitat, with low edge-tointerior ratios. Species not present Work will be completed in the winter and spring months which is outside of the nesting period of this species (Late March through October). Additionally, turtle sweeps will be completed in all work areas and any sightings will be reported. Erosion and sedimentation control measures will be implemented to avoid adverse impacts to potential turtle habitat. NLAA This species ecological information was reviewed on NatureServe Explorer to determine that suitable habitat may be present. There are no known records of species in action area. Additionally, an assessment of the FWS determined that no hibernaculum or maternity roost trees are present in the project area. A review of the Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program spatial data (August 2021) determined that the action area is not within mapped Priority Habitats of Rare Species or Estimated Habitats of Rare Wildlife. Endangered Sandplain Gerardia (Agalinis acuta) Suitable habitat potentially present. Note: Habitat includes dry, sandy, short grass plains, roadsides, and openings in oak scrub. The species is dependent on periodic disturbance that maintains an open habitat. Don’t know Tree clearing will be completed in the winter months as to not disturb the active growing season. Erosion and sedimentation control measures will be implemented to avoid adverse impacts to potential species habitat. NLAA This species ecological information was reviewed on NatureServe Explorer to determine that suitable habitat may be present. There are no known records of species in action area. Additionally, there is no designated critical habitat present in the action area. Two populations were identified in the Cape Cod region. A review of the Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program spatial data (August 2021) determined that the action area is not within mapped Priority Habitats of Rare Species or Estimated Habitats of Rare Wildlife.

All required or requested documents must be sent to: NH Department of Environmental Services, Watershed Management Bureau, P.O. Box 95 Concord, NH 03302-0095. 9.1.2 MAR100000 Commonwealth of Massachusetts (except Indian country) All discharges covered by the Construction General Permit shall comply with the provisions pursuant to 314 CMR 3.00, 314 CMR 4.00, 314 CMR 9.00, including applicable construction stormwater standards and 310 CMR 10.00. Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a)6., and in accordance with MassDEP’s obligation under 314 CMR 4.05(5)(e) to maintain surface waters free from pollutants in concentrations or combinations that are toxic to humans, aquatic life, or wildlife, permittees are prohibited from discharging dewatering water under the CGP from sites that are designated as Superfund/CERCLA or RCRA, and must make accommodations to dispose of the dewatering discharges appropriately, such as coverage under the Remediation General Permit (RGP). Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a), and in accordance with MassDEP’s obligation to protect Outstanding Resource Waters under 314 CMR 4.04(3), applicants seeking coverage under the 2022 CGP that propose to carry out construction activities near Outstanding Resource Waters as identified in 314 CMR 4.06, shall submit to MassDEP for review: a copy of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), a copy of the EPA NOI, and MassDEP’s Stormwater BMP Checklist. For purposes of this review, the permittee shall submit these documents to MassDEP at the same time they are submitted to EPA. Instructions on how to submit these documents to MassDEP and where to find the MassDEP Stormwater BMP Checklist and obtain authorization to discharge can be found here: https://www.mass.gov/how-to/wm-15-npdes-general-permitnotic e-of- intent. Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a)6., and in accordance with MassDEP’s obligation under 314 CMR 4.05(5)(e) to maintain surface waters free from pollutants in concentrations or combinations that are toxic to humans, aquatic life, or wildlife, applicants that propose to dewater under the 2022 CGP and plan to discharge to certain waters as described below, shall determine that any dewatering discharges are not contaminated by testing the proposed discharge as described below as part of the application for WM15 authorization. Unless otherwise specified, testing described in this section should be conducted using the methods in 40 CFR 136. Applicants for sites that plan to discharge to Outstanding Resource Waters as identified in 314 CMR 4.06 shall test one sample of the proposed dewatering discharge water for pH, E. Coli (for discharges to freshwater), fecal coliform (for 2022 Construction General Permit (CGP) Page 54 discharges to salt water), Enterococci (for discharges to salt water), total suspended solids, oil and grease, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and all parameters with numeric criteria listed in the Massachusetts Surface Water Quality Standards at 314 CMR 4.05(e). Results shall be reported to MassDEP as part of the WM15 application. To determine if the dewatering discharge could be covered under the 2022 CGP, the effluent at zero dilution must meet numeric water quality criteria. If the effluent does not meet numeric water quality criteria, the applicant shall contact EPA Region 1 to discuss coverage under the Remediation General Permit. Applicants for sites that propose to discharge to Public Water Supplies (314 CMR 4.06(1)(d)1) shall also test one sample of the proposed dewatering discharge water for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), as outlined in the table below. Results shall be reported to MassDEP as part of the WM15 application. If any PFAS compounds are detected, the applicant shall apply for coverage under the NPDES Remediation General Permit for Massachusetts if required. PFAS Testing Parameters for Discharges to Public Drinking Water Supplies99 Perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS), grab Report ng/L Perfluoroheptanoic acid (PFHpA), grab Report ng/L Perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), grab Report ng/L Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), grab Report ng/L Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), grab Report ng/L Perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA), grab Report ng/L 99 PFAS testing shall follow established EPA methods 537 or 537.1 for drinking water until EPA Method 3512 for non- potable water becomes available. Applicants for sites that propose to discharge to an impaired water as identified in the most recent final Massachusetts Integrated List of Waters, shall test one sample of the proposed dewatering discharge water for the parameter(s) for which the waterbody is impaired. To determine if the dewatering discharge could be covered under the 2022 CGP, the effluent at zero dilution must meet numeric water quality criteria. If the effluent does not meet numeric water quality criteria, the applicant shall contact EPA Region 1 to discuss coverage under the Remediation General Permit and shall apply for RGP coverage if required. For dewatering discharges to all other waters, if any pollutants are known or believed present in the proposed dewatering discharge water, the applicant shall apply for coverage under the NPDES Remediation General Permit for Massachusetts if required. For the purposes of this condition, a pollutant is “known present” if measured above the analytical detection limit using a sufficiently sensitive test method in an environmental sample, and “believed present” if a pollutant has not been measured in an environmental sample but will be added or generated prior to discharge, such as through a treatment process. Consequently, a pollutant is “known absent” if measured as non-detect relative to the analytical detection limit using a sufficiently sensitive test method in an environmental sample, and “believed absent” if a pollutant has not been measured in an environmental sample but will not be added or generated prior to discharge and is not a parameter that applies to the applicable activity category for a site. If any pollutants are known or believed present in the 2022 Construction General Permit (CGP) Page 55 proposed dewatering discharge water, the applicant shall test one sample of the proposed dewatering discharge water for the pollutants known or believed to be present. To determine if the dewatering discharge could be covered under the 2022 CGP, the effluent at zero dilution must meet numeric water quality criteria. If the effluent does not meet numeric water quality criteria, the applicant shall contact EPA Region 1 to discuss coverage under the Remediation General Permit. Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a), and in accordance with MassDEP’s obligation to protect Outstanding Resource Waters under 314 CMR 4.04(3), applicants that propose to dewater under the 2022 CGP and discharge to Outstanding Resource Waters as identified in 314 CMR 4.06, shall submit the SWPPP and associated documents to MassDEP to review. MassDEP shall complete review within 30 days of receipt. Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a)6., and in accordance with MassDEP’s obligation under 314 CMR 4.05 to maintain surface waters free from color and turbidity in concentrations or combinations that are aesthetically objectionable or would impair any use assigned to the waterbody, permittees that have been authorized to dewater under the 2022 CGP and that discharge to Outstanding Resource Waters as identified in 314 CMR 4.06 shall carry out daily benchmark monitoring for turbidity100 for the duration of dewatering. Permittees shall compare the weekly average of the turbidity monitoring results with the established benchmark turbidity value of 25 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU). If a permittee’s weekly average turbidity results exceed the benchmark, the operator shall conduct follow-up corrective action to determine the source of the problem and to make any necessary repairs or upgrades to the dewatering controls to lower the turbidity levels. The permittee shall document any corrective action taken in its corrective action log. Furthermore, permittees at these sites shall carry out inspections at higher frequency, specifically, daily inspections of the dewatering discharge treatment for the duration of the discharge. The permittee shall inspect the site for sediment plume or whether a hydrocarbon sheen is visible at the point of discharge, estimate the flow rate at the point of discharge, and inspect the site downstream to assess whether sedimentation is attributable to the dewatering discharges. 100 Applicants shall follow EPA Method 180.1 to monitor for turbidity Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a)6., and in accordance with MassDEP’s obligation under 314 CMR 4.05 to maintain surface waters free from color and turbidity in concentrations or combinations that are aesthetically objectionable or would impair any use assigned to the waterbody, permittees shall store materials outside the Base Flood Elevation101 when feasible to prevent displacing runoff and erosion. 101 Base Flood Elevation (BFE) is the elevation of surface water resulting from a flood that has a 1% chance of equaling or exceeding that level in any given year. The BFE is shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for zones AE, AH, A1–A30, AR, AR/A, AR/AE, AR/A1– A30, AR/AH, AR/AO, V1–V30 and VE. (Source: https://www.fema.gov/node/404233). Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a), and in accordance with MassDEP’s obligation to maintain surface waters free from nutrients in concentrations that would cause or contribute to impairment of existing or designated uses under 314 CMR 4.05(5)(c), all applicants who apply for coverage under the 2022 CGP shall follow guidelines on fertilizer application, including use of fertilizer containing no phosphorus, in accordance with 330 CMR 31.00 Plant Nutrient Application Requirements for 2022 Construction General Permit (CGP) Page 56 Agricultural Land and Non-Agricultural Turf and Lawns. Further, fertilizer shall never be applied to a site when a rain event greater than 0.5 inches is forecast in the next 48 hours. Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a), all applicants who apply for coverage under the 2022 CGP and elect to carry out site inspections every 14 days shall also inspect sites within 24 hours of 0.25 inches of precipitation events or greater over 24 hours, or within 24 hours of a discharge that occurred due to snowmelt from 3.25 inches or greater of snow accumulation.102 During the high flow periods in spring (i.e., months of April to June), inspection frequency shall be increased to once per week for all sites. 102 This is the amount of snow that is equivalent to 0.25 inches of rain, based on information from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) indicating that 13 inches of snow is, on average, equivalent to 1 inch of rain. See https://www.nssl.noaa.gov/education/svrwx101/winter/faq/. To determine whether 3.25 inches or greater of snow accumulation has occurred at a site, snowfall measurements can be taken at the site,103 or the operator can rely on similar information from a local weather forecast. 103 NOAA’s National Weather Service has guidelines on snowfall measurements at https://www.weathe r.gov/jkl/snow_measurement. These guidelines recommend use of a “snowboard” (a piece of wood about 16 inches by 16 inches) that is placed in an unobstructed part of the site on a hard surface. Implementing structural improvements, enhanced/resilient pollution prevention measures, and other mitigation measures can help to minimize impacts from stormwater discharges from major storm events such as hurricanes, storm surge, extreme/heavy precipitation,104 and flood events. Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a), if such stormwater control measures are already in place due to existing requirements mandated by other state, local or federal agencies, the SWPPP shall include a brief description of the controls and a reference to the existing requirement(s). If the site may be exposed to or has previously experienced such major storm events105, additional stormwater control measures that may be considered, and implemented as necessary, include, but are not limited to: 104 Heavy precipitation refers to instances during which the amount of rain or snow experienced in a location substantially exceeds what is normal. What constitutes a period of heavy precipitation varies according to location and season. Heavy precipitation does not necessarily mean the total amount of precipitation at a location has increased— just that precipitation is occurring in more intense or more frequent events. 105 To determine if your facility is susceptible to an increased frequency of major storm events that could impact the discharge of pollutants in stormwater, you may reference FEMA, NOAA, or USGS flood map products at https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/where-can-i-find-flood-maps?q tnews_science_products=0#qtnews_science_products. Reinforce materials storage structures to withstand flooding and additional exertion of force; Prevent floating of semi-stationary structures by elevating to the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) level or securing with non-corrosive device; When a delivery of exposed materials is expected, and a storm is anticipated within 48 hours, delay delivery until after the storm or store materials as appropriate (refer to emergency procedures); 2022 Construction General Permit (CGP) Page 57 Temporarily store materials and waste above the Base Flood Elevation [EPA notes that it has deleted a footnote reference to the term “Base Flood Elevation” since the same footnote is already included in Part 9.1.2.g, above.] level; Temporarily reduce or eliminate outdoor storage; Temporarily relocate any mobile vehicles and equipment to higher ground; Develop scenario-based emergency procedures for major storms that are complementary to regular stormwater pollution prevention planning and identify emergency contacts for staff and contractors; and Conduct staff training for implementing your emergency procedures at regular intervals. Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a)6., and in accordance with MassDEP’s obligation under 314 CMR 4.05(5)(e) to maintain surface waters free from pollutants in concentrations or combinations that are toxic to humans, aquatic life, or wildlife, permittees who seek coverage under the 2022 CGP and anticipate to carry out dust control shall limit their dust control methodology to using water only and specifically avoid using other techniques, such as solutions containing calcium chloride. If MassDEP requests a copy of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for any construction site at any time, the permittee shall submit the SWPPP to MassDEP within 14 days of such a request. MassDEP may conduct an inspection of any site covered by this permit to ensure compliance with state law requirements, including state water quality standards. 9.1.3 MTR10F000 Areas in the State of Vermont located at a federal facility Earth disturbance at any one time is limited to five acres. All areas of earth disturbance must have temporary or final stabilization within 14 days of the initial disturbance. After this time, disturbed areas must be temporarily or permanently stabilized in advance of any runoff producing event. A runoff producing event is an event that produces runoff from the construction site. Temporary stabilization is not required if precipitation is not forecast and work is to continue in the next 24-hours or if the work is occurring in a self-contained excavation (i.e. no outlet) with a depth of two feet or greater (e.g. house foundation excavation, utility trenches). Areas of a construction site that drain to sediment basins are not considered eligible for this exemption, and the exemption applies only to the excavated area itself. Site inspections on active construction sites shall be conducted daily during the period from October 15 through April 15. The use of chemical treatments (e.g. polymers, flocculants, and coagulants) for the settling and/or removal of sediment from stormwater runoff associated with construction and construction-related activities requires prior written approval and an approved site and project-specific plan, from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources. In addition, the use of cationic polymers is prohibited unless approved by the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources under a site and project-specific plan. Any applicant under EPA’s CGP shall allow authorized Vermont Agency of Natural Resources representatives, at reasonable times and upon presentation of credentials, to enter upon the project site for purposes of inspecting the project and determining APPENDIX N APPENDIX O Best Management Practices Manual for Massachusetts and Connecticut APRIL 2022 Prepared for: Eversource Energy Environmental

Management Practices Manual 1-1 Section 1 Introduction 1.1 Purpose As a matter of Eversource Energy (herein, “Eversource”) policy with regard to environmental stewardship and in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations, all construction and maintenance projects shall use environmentally sound best management practices (BMPs) to minimize or eliminate environmental impacts that may result from construction activities. Regardless of whether a specific permit is needed for the work, construction and maintenance projects must follow internal environmental performance standards, which is the purpose of these BMPs. In many cases, maintenance activities are exempt from regulatory authorization. Permits are usually required for new work. Contractors will be provided with copies of any projectspecific permits and will be required to adhere to any and all conditions of the permit(s). Project-specific permit conditions may supersede the BMPs outlined in this manual. However, where certain construction elements are not addressed by permit conditions, or where permitting is not required, or for emergency situations where obtaining a permit before the work occurs may not be feasible, these BMPs shall be considered as Eversource’s standards. In some cases, and at the discretion of the Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting staff, the BMPs presented herein may be modified to be more appropriate for site-specific conditions. 1.2 Scope and Applicability These BMPs primarily address the disturbance of soil, water, and vegetation incidental to construction within on- and off-road utility corridors, substations, including the establishment of access roads and work areas, within rights of way (ROWs) and on private property, in and near wetlands, watercourses, or other sensitive natural areas (such as protected species), including storm drain systems (e.g., catch basins). Types of construction include, but are not limited to, installation or maintenance of underground and overhead utilities, access road repair/improvement or construction, and upgrades or maintenance of substations and other facilities. Other common construction issues such as noise, air pollution, oil spill procedures, handling of contaminated soils, and work safety rules are addressed in the Eversource Energy Contractor Work Rules and related appendices. 1.3 Definitions The following definitions are provided to clarify use of common terms throughout this document. Best Management Practice (BMP): A means to reduce and minimize impact to natural resources. Casing: A galvanized steel corrugated pipe that serves as the form for a utility structure foundation. Section 1 Introduction Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 1-2 Emergency Projects: Actions needed to maintain the operational integrity of the system or activities necessary to restore the system and affected facilities in response to a sudden and unexpected loss of electric or gas service or events that affect public health and safety. Embedded Culvert: A culvert that is installed in such a way that the bottom of the structure is below the stream bed and there is substrate in the culvert. Environmentally Sensitive Areas: An area containing natural features, cultural resources, or ecological functions of such significance to warrant protection. Some examples are rivers, streams, ponds, lakes, wetlands, rare species habitat, water supply protection areas, archaeological sites, parks, and agricultural land. Erosion Control: A measure to prevent soil from detachment and transportation by water, wind, or gravity. Existing Access Roads: Previously permitted or grandfathered access roads that are used to access structures that are clearly visible or can be found by mowing or by the presence of road materials in soil cores. Grubbing: A site preparation method that is used to clear the ground of roots and stumps. Intermittent Watercourse: An intermittent watercourse, or stream, is broadly defined as a channel that a flowing body of water follows at irregular intervals and does not have continuous or steady flow. Regulatory definitions for intermittent watercourses are: • Connecticut – Per the Connecticut Inland Wetland and Watercourses Act, intermittent watercourses are delineated by a defined permanent channel and bank and the occurrence of two or more of the following characteristics: (A) Evidence of scour or deposits of recent alluvium or detritus, (B) the presence of standing or flowing water for a duration longer than a particular storm incident, and (C) the presence of hydrophytic vegetation. • Massachusetts – Under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (MAWPA), a jurisdictional intermittent watercourse is defined as a body of running water which moves in a definite channel in the ground due to a hydraulic gradient, does not flow throughout the year, and which flows within, into or out of an area subject to protection under the MAWPA. Intermittent watercourses upgradient of any Bordering Vegetated Wetlands or Ponds are not jurisdictional under the MAWPA. A watercourse can be determined to be intermittent if it meets MAWPA criteria with regard to its depiction on the most current USGS topographic map of the area (i.e., shown as intermittent or not shown), and watershed size and predicted flow rates as determined by the USGS StreamStats method or documented observations of no flow at least once per day over the course of four days in any consecutive 12month period barring drought conditions, withdrawals, or other human-made flow reductions or diversions (subject to conservation commission and/or MassDEP review and approval). Limit of Work/Disturbance: The boundaries of the approved project within regulated areas. All project related activities in regulated areas must be conducted within the approved limit of work/disturbance. The limit of work/disturbance should be depicted on the approved permit site plans, which may require the limits to be survey located and identified in the field by flagging, construction fencing, and/or perimeter erosion controls. Low Ground Pressure Vehicle: Vehicles that have a lesser impact on an environmentally sensitive area due to the vehicle being smaller, lighter, or different in another way than a vehicle which would have a greater impact. Low ground pressure is Section 1 Introduction Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 1-3 measured in pounds per square inch (psi) when loaded and as defined by the US Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE). CT = < 3 psi MA = < 3 psi Low impact vehicles could include off-road vehicles (ORVs) or all-terrain vehicles/ utility vehicles (ATVs/UTVs), tracked vehicles with low ground pressure, or vehicles with oversized balloon-type tires. Maintenance Projects: Typically consist of activities limited to the repair and/or replacement of existing and lawfully located utility structures and/or facilities where no substantial change in the original structure or footprint is proposed. Maintenance activities also include vegetation management. Minimization: Causing as little disturbance to an area as practicable during construction. New Construction: Construction of new transmission or distribution facilities that previously did not exist or construction that substantially modifies existing facilities. All new (and existing) construction projects are required to go through a full permit review by Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Pre-Construction Notification (PCN): Project activities that do not qualify for SelfVerification (SV) or where otherwise required by the terms of the Massachusetts (MA) and Connecticut (CT) General Permits (GPs) must submit a PCN and obtain written verification before starting work in ACOE jurisdiction. Refer to MA and CT GPs for PCN thresholds. Projects that cannot be completed under a PCN must file for an Individual Permit with the ACOE. In CT, for coastal projects, notification is provided to ACOE by the CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP), Office of Long Island Sound Programs (OLISP) or by applicants as necessary. Written approval from ACOE is required. Protected Species: Species named and protected under the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (MESA) regulations and/or the Connecticut Endangered Species Act (C.G.S. §§ 26-303 through 26-315). Rare Species: See Protected Species. Restoration: To return a disturbed area to its former, original or unimpaired condition. A site is considered fully restored when it has returned (as closely as practicable) to its original state. Restoration of disturbed areas should occur as soon as practicable following the completion of activities at that location. Revegetation: Establishment of plant material for temporary or permanent soil stabilization. Right of Way (ROW): A pathway, road, or corridor of land where Eversource has legal rights (either fee ownership, lease, or easement) to construct, operate, and maintain an electric power line and/or natural gas pipeline. Sediment Control: The practice of managing the erosion of soil materials mobilized by water, typically stormwater runoff, on-site for the purpose of protecting nearby wetland and water resources. Self-Verification (SV): Activities that are eligible for SV are authorized under the MA and CT GPs and may commence without written verification from the ACOE provided the prospective permittee has: i. Confirmed that the activity will meet the terms and conditions of applicable MA and CT GPs. Section 1 Introduction Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 1-4 ii. Submitted the Self-Verification Notification Form (SVNF) to the ACOE. In CT, coastal projects do not require filing of a SVNF. ACOE relies on CT DEEP submittals. Sensitive Environmental Area: For the purposes of this BMP Manual, this term shall be inclusive of all wetlands, streams, waterways, waterbodies, buffer zones, rare species habitat, and historical/cultural resources. Stabilization: A system of permanent or temporary measures used alone or in combination to minimize erosion from disturbed areas. Work: For the purposes of this BMP Manual, any form of temporary or permanent draining, dumping, damming, discharging, excavating, filling or grading; the erection, reconstruction, replacement or expansion of any buildings or structures; the driving of piles; the construction or improvement of roads and other ways; the changing of run-off characteristics; the intercepting or diverging of ground or surface water; the installation of storm drain systems (e.g., catch basins); the discharging of pollutants; the destruction of plant life; and any other changing of the physical characteristics of land including, but not limited to: on- and off-road utility corridors and substations. Types of work include but are not limited to the installation or maintenance of underground and overhead utilities, substations and other facilities. 1.4 Acronyms and Abbreviations The following acronyms and abbreviated are provided to clarify use of common terms throughout this document.

The permit review process is supported by Geographic Information Systems (GIS) or a similar program that references the most current spatial data for the project areas in question. Through the GIS review process various geo-processing tools are used to compose maps and provide a spatial reference to environmentally sensitive areas. In consultation with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting, the Project Engineer, permitting specialist, or other project planner should determine regulatory jurisdiction and which (if any) environmental permits or approvals are required before starting any project. Questions regarding which activities may be conducted in regulated areas or within environmentally sensitive areas should be referred to Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Summaries of potentially applicable laws and regulations are provided in Appendices B and C of this document. Eversource employs a best practice mitigation hierarchy to 1) avoid environmental impacts wherever possible, followed by 2) minimization of environmental impacts where they cannot be avoided, and 3) mitigating and restoring any environmental impacts where necessary. 2.1 Regulated Areas 2.1.1 Types of Wetlands Wetland areas common to New England and common to both Connecticut and Massachusetts include, but are not limited to, the following: Forested Wetlands Forested wetlands are wetlands that are dominated by trees that are 20 feet or taller. These wetlands are typically drier with standing water typically occurring during periods of high precipitation, seasonally high groundwater, snowmelt, and runoff (e.g., early spring through mid-summer). Tree species typical of this type of wetland include red maple (Acer rubrum) and eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis). “Pit and mound” topography is common in forested wetlands, where mature trees grow on the higher and drier mounds and obligate wetland species are found in the lower pits. Scrub-Shrub Wetlands Scrub-shrub wetlands are dominated by woody vegetation less than 20 feet tall and may include peat bogs. Typical bog species include leatherleaf (Chamaedaphne calyculata), cotton grasses (Eriophorum sp.), cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon, V. oxycoccus), and black spruce (Picea mariana). Other non-bog scrub-shrub wetlands are characterized by buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), alders (Alnus spp.), dogwoods (Swida spp.), and arrowwoods (Viburnum spp.). Section 2 Project Planning Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 2-2 Marshes Marshes are dominated by erect, herbaceous vegetation and appear as grasslands or stands of reedy growth. These wetlands are commonly referred to by a host of terms, including marsh, wet meadow, or fen. These areas are flooded all or most of the year and, in New England, tend to be dominated by cattails (Typha spp.). Wet Meadows Typical wet meadow species include grasses such as bluejoint (Calamagrostis canadensis) and reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), sedges (Carex spp.) and rushes (Juncus spp.), and various other forbs such as Joe-Pye-weeds (Eutrochium spp.) and asters (Aster spp.). Floodplains A floodplain is generally defined as an area of low-lying ground adjacent to a stream or river that is formed mainly of river sediments and is subject to inundation from floodwaters. State-specific regulatory definitions vary and are described as follows: • In Connecticut, areas that contain alluvial or floodplain soils are regulated as wetlands. These areas may flood so infrequently or be so freely drained that hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soils are not present. Soils in these areas must be examined carefully to determine whether well drained alluvial or floodplain soils are present. • In Massachusetts, a floodplain is a type of wetland resource area that floods following storms, prolonged rainfall, or snowmelt. There are three types of floodplain areas protected under the MAWPA: coastal areas, areas bordering rivers and streams, and isolated depressions that flood at least once a year. Streams A stream is any natural flowing body of water that empties to any ocean, lake, pond or other river. Perennial streams, or rivers, have flows throughout the year. Intermittent streams do not have surface flows throughout the year, though surface water may remain in isolated pockets. Vernal Pools Vernal pools are typically contained basin depressions lacking permanent aboveground outlets. These areas fill with water with the rising water table of fall and winter and/or with the meltwater and runoff of winter and spring snow and rain. The pools contain water for a few months in the spring and early summer. Due to periodic drying cycles, vernal pools do not support breeding fish populations and can thus serve as breeding grounds for a variety of organisms, including some rare and/or protected species of frogs and salamanders. 2.1.2 Rare Species Utility ROWs within Connecticut and Massachusetts overlap with, and in some circumstances create or enhance, habitat of rare/protected species of plants, vertebrate and invertebrate animals. Special requirements may need to be evaluated as part of new construction and/or some maintenance activities. Section 2 Project Planning Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 2-3 2.1.3 Historical/Cultural Other regulated factors taken into consideration during the project planning process include the presence of protected (i.e., threatened or endangered) species, non- native, invasive plant species and/or historical/cultural resources. Special requirements may need to be evaluated as part of new construction and/or some maintenance activities. 2.2 Meetings A pre-construction meeting is typically held prior to the commencement of all work with the purpose to appoint responsible parties, discuss timing of work, and further consider options to avoid and/or minimize disturbance to sensitive areas. The meeting confirms that there is consensus on work methods and responsibilities and ensures that tasks will be fulfilled with as little disturbance to the environment as practicable. These meetings can occur on or off-site and should include all the applicable stakeholders (i.e., Eversource, contractors, consultants, inspectors and/or monitors, and regulatory agency personnel). A short and less formal briefing should suffice for smaller maintenance projects. 2.3 Site Staging and Parking During the project planning and permitting process, locations should be identified for designated crew parking areas, material storage, and staging areas. Where possible, these areas should be located outside of buffer zones, watershed protection areas, and other environmentally sensitive areas. Any proposed locations should be evaluated for all sensitive receptors and for new projects requiring permitting, should be incorporated onto permitting and access plans. 2.4 Construction Monitoring Construction projects require environmental monitoring, which can be conducted either internally or by consultants. Some permitted projects require oversight by designated and pre-approved compliance monitors. Environmental monitoring is a way to keep a chronological record of pre-construction site conditions, progress, and changes that are made, as well as to document issues and authorized solutions. If work will occur in a sensitive environmental area, permit conditions may dictate that construction be monitored by a qualified and pre-approved wetland or wildlife specialist. 2.5 Signage/Limit of Boundaries Where appropriate, wetland delineation flagging or signage shall be installed that makes clear where critical boundaries (i.e., the limits of jurisdictional wetland resource areas, rare species habitat, and/or historical/cultural resources) and setbacks occur. Appropriate signage shall also be installed to indicate regulatory authorization by agencies and to prohibit certain uses on ROWs, such as ORV traffic. Where appropriate, signage shall be installed along sediment and erosion control barriers at appropriate intervals, heights, and sizes to ensure that the presence and location of said barriers is clear to construction personnel during deep snow or other low visibility conditions. Inspection and maintenance of this signage shall be conducted on a regular basis to ensure effectiveness. Section 2 Project Planning Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 2-4 Examples of signage at wetlands SECTION 3 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-1 Section 3 Construction Considerations This section addresses BMPs specific to construction of new access roads, repair of existing access roads, the installation of work pads, structure-related work, and soil stockpile management. Information regarding recommended erosion and sedimentation controls or stormwater controls is also discussed. Please refer to Appendix A for typical details and representative photographs of BMPs used for erosion and sedimentation control and water diversion during construction. During all project activities (e.g., maintenance, new construction), federal, state, and local regulatory authorities require steps be taken to avoid, minimize, and/or mitigate disturbance to the environment. Sensitive environmental areas should be avoided whenever practicable. However, some projects may require entrance into these areas in order to perform work. This section discusses measures that should be taken to minimize disturbance to if work must occur within sensitive environmental areas. BMPs were developed to aid in this process and should be carefully selected and implemented based on the proposed activities and the nature of sensitive area(s) encountered at each site. Proper selection of BMPs should take into consideration the project goals, permit requirements, and site-specific information. Once an assessment of the area is made and requirements of the project are established, all BMPs should be considered and implemented as appropriate. 3.1 Avoidance and Minimization Avoidance and minimization should always be considered before beginning any construction or maintenance project. Eversource and their contractors should utilize appropriate measures to avoid construction impacts to sensitive environmental areas including, but not limited to: wetlands, waterways, rare species habitats, known below and above ground historical/archeological resources, and other environmentally sensitive areas. Use existing ROW access whenever practicable. Keep to approved routes and roads and do not widen or deviate from them. Consult with the Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting Group, when avoidance is not practicable, to determine measures to minimize the extent of construction impacts. Alternate access routes and/or staging areas that will minimize construction impacts to the natural environment may be considered. 3.2 Rare Species Habitat Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting coordinates with state and local agencies when work is within areas designated as rare and/or sensitive species habitat. In order to protect these resources in Connecticut, the following must be reviewed: • Natural Diversity Database (NDDB) area mapping. • Critical Habitat mapping. • Eversource’s New England Cottontail (NEC) BMP map. • Prior NDDB Determinations. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-2 The NDDB mapping is updated approximately every six months and is posted on the State’s GIS data download webpage. The Critical Habitat mapping is less frequently updated and also on the State’s GIS data download page. Eversource’s NEC BMP map and mapping which depicts prior NDDB Determinations shall be provided through Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. In Massachusetts, Eversource has an annual Operations and Management Plan (OMP) which is updated and renewed at the start of each calendar year with the Natural Heritage Endangered Species Program (NHESP) which designates Priority Habitat (PH) in the State. All work in PH requires review of and compliance with the OMP which may include consultation with NHESP. The OMP establishes guidelines for work within known rare species habitat based on the type of species presence. These guidelines may include time of year (TOY) restrictions or similar measures to avoid impacts to rare species. Regardless of the State in which construction is taking place, the following shall be employed in all mapped, State-listed species and designated Critical Habitat areas: • Make every effort to avoid impacts to known populations of State-listed plants and other stationary resources. • Limit permanent impact through the use of temporary construction matting as opposed to gravel for access road and work pad construction. • If State-listed resources cannot be avoided, mitigation planning shall be discussed with Environmental Licensing and Permitting. • Consider time-of-year (TOY) restrictions to avoid impact to sensitive resources during critical life stages including but not limited to nesting season for ground and shrub nesting birds, pup rearing season for bats (if tree removal is necessary), flowering and seeding times for State-listed plants. Certain species, including the timber rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus), are one of the few venomous species in New England which can be a threat to worker safety. Protection measures provided by the respective State agency shall be followed and may require snake sweeps by a qualified herpetologist, contractor education, and field demarcation of hibernacula/known rattlesnake dens. 3.3 Hiking Trails The following practices shall be implemented in the event project areas intersect or overlap with recreational hiking trails. • Avoid using hiking trails as access roads or access routes for vehicles and equipment. • If a hiking trail must be used for vehicle or equipment access coordination with Eversource Vegetation Management Compliance or Oversight staff and/or Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting staff is required prior to use. • Utilize existing access roads to cross hiking trails to the maximum extent practicable. • If no existing access roads exist and a hiking trail must be crossed, minimize trail crossings by designating one location for use by equipment. • Signs, barriers, spotters or other means to alert the public to the work shall be Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-3 implemented. • Stockpiling logs and other cut material within 25 feet of hiking trails is not allowed unless approved by Eversource Vegetation Management Compliance or Oversight staff. • Spreading wood chips on hiking trails is not allowed unless approved by Eversource Vegetation Management Compliance or Oversight staff. • At the end of each workday all cut material must be removed from hiking trails. • As soon as possible after work is complete disturbed portions of hiking trails shall be returned as close to pre-construction condition as possible. This may include hand raking, hand cutting of stumps and/or hand removal of cut vegetation. • If any trees that are marked for trail navigation must be cut, the property manager or trail maintainer must be notified. • Posts or other markers that are used for trail navigation shall be protected at all times. Replacement in kind shall be completed by the contractor if disturbed or damaged during completion of the work. 3.4 Work on State-owned land in Connecticut For all work on State of Connecticut-owned land as depicted on the “DEEP Property” data layer available through the State’s GIS data download page, matting shall be employed to the greatest extent possible. Gravel access roads and work pads shall only be installed when terrain prohibits the installation of matting. All work must be coordinated through Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting for acquisition of necessary authorization prior to the start of construction on State-owned properties. 3.5 Historic/Cultural Resources Historic and cultural resources are diverse and include, but are not limited to, archaeological sites, historic structures, historic districts, stone walls, and ceremonial stone landscapes. Construction activities near or within significant resources are subject to restrictions outlined in any site or project-specific avoidance/protection plans. The locations of archaeological sites and other sensitive resources such as ceremonial stone landscapes and burials are considered confidential and may only be disclosed on a needto-know basis. 3.5.1 Stone Walls Stone walls can be considered significant resources for a number of reasons including unique construction methods, their function as a property boundary, their association with other historic resources such as archaeological sites or farmsteads, and/or their importance to the underlying landowner(s). Non-impact methods of managing work and access near stone walls should always be prioritized and removal, dismantlement, or other alterations to stone walls should be avoided, when possible. Non-impact methods of managing work near stone walls include: • Avoiding the stone wall altogether - This may involve re-routing an access road or selecting a new access point. Care should be taken not to incur additional impacts to other sensitive environmental areas (e.g., wetlands or rare species habitat). • Traversing the wall through an existing breach - In this scenario, the breach is Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-4 used as-is and the breach is not widened or expanded in any way. • Traversing the wall using timber matting to temporarily bridge over the wall (e.g., “air bridge”) - Although the construction of individual air bridges will vary depending on the surrounding topography, the height of the wall, and the individual operator, the timber mats should not touch the stone wall on any side, and a sufficient air gap between the top of the stone wall and the timber matting directly above should be left to ensure the stone wall is not damaged during the passage of heavy machinery. Before and after photographs of the portion of the stone wall to be crossed should be taken and provided to Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. • Elevating work pads near stone walls using timber matting - If work pads cannot be reduced in size to avoid stone walls, timber matting may be used to elevate the work pad, or portions thereof, above the stone wall to avoid impacts. None of the timber mats should be in contact with the stone wall and before and after photographs of the stone wall should be taken. If implementation of the four non-impact measures noted above is not feasible and either temporary or permanent alterations to a stone wall are necessary, Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting must be contacted prior to any alterations occurring to secure the appropriate permissions. These permissions may take several weeks to secure and may require input from the cultural resources consultant or Eversource Real Estate and/or Legal Departments. Prior to alteration, proper documentation of the wall should be obtained and provided to Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. At a minimum, this effort should include recording the following: • Wall dimensions (total length, width, average height) • Any existing breaches • Wall location and general orientation on project maps Photographs (including a scale, if possible) should also be taken of the entire wall clearly showing all sides, with increased attention on any areas of the wall that will be modified (e.g., expanded breaches) or will need to be rebuilt. The removal of dense vegetation along the stone wall prior to photography is highly recommended. Once permissions to alter a stone wall and appropriate documentation have been secured, the following BMPs should be followed during alteration and rebuilding: • While it is preferred that alterations be conducted by hand following traditional dry stone construction methods, construction machinery may be used when appropriate to the level of effort required and taking care not to unreasonably scratch or mar the stones or to begin excavating into soils underneath the wall. • Any removed stones should be stockpiled nearby, outside any identified sensitive environmental areas such as wetlands or rare species habitat. • When rebuilding, the wall should be reconstructed in the same location as the original and should match the original wall as closely as possible; if present, it is preferred that weathered/moss-covered surfaces are exposed. • When alterations/rebuilding is complete, additional photographs from all sides should be taken and provided to Eversource Environmental Licensing and Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-5 Permitting. 3.5.2 Unanticipated Discoveries During construction activities, most notably ground disturbing activities such as excavation, trenching, or grading, it is possible to discover previously unknown archaeological resources. Any specific procedures outlined in project-specific documents such as Post-Review Discoveries or Unanticipated Discoveries Plans should be followed. If such documents do not exist and a contractor encounters an unanticipated discovery, the contractor shall immediately notify the Eversource Construction Representative/Supervisor, secure the site, and not restart work in the area of the discovery until after the Eversource Senior Cultural Resources Program Administrator has granted clearance. 3.6 Human Remains In the event human remains are encountered, the contractor must immediately stop work and notify the Eversource Construction Representative/Supervisor, secure the site, and ensure that the remains are treated with the utmost dignity and respect. The remains should be covered and left undisturbed along with any associated artifacts. No photography of the remains is allowed and work will not resume in the area of the discovery until after the Eversource Senior Cultural Resources Program Administrator has granted clearance. In addition to these preliminary guidelines, all relevant state laws and guidelines, including, but not limited to, the Massachusetts Unmarked Burial Law (M.G.L. Chapter 38, Section 6) and the Connecticut Human Burials Law (Conn. Gen. State. Sec 10-388) must be adhered to. 3.7 Vernal Pools Construction within and across wetlands and in proximity to vernal pools should be limited to the extent practicable to avoid working in the periods between April 1st and June 1st. This will allow for obligate vernal pool species to emigrate to the breeding areas, deposit egg masses, and allow for hatching and development of juveniles. Silt fence should be installed at the limits of the construction to prevent individual reptiles and amphibians from entering the workspace, but in a manner that does not impede movement to and from pools from adjacent forested uplands. Consider installing syncopated silt fencing. Protection Measures When performing construction activities in proximity to vernal pools, a number of protection measures should be implemented. Vegetation Removal • Maintain existing scrub-shrub vegetation (consistent with ROW vegetation management requirements) within 25 feet of vernal pools, except in areas where access roads and work pads must be installed. • Minimize removal of low growing (scrub-shrub) vegetation surrounding vernal pools by utilizing construction matting where access is needed. If vegetation must be cut adjacent to vernal pools, the cut vegetation (slash) should be left in place to serve as recruitment for leaf litter and coarse woody debris. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-6 Erosion and Sedimentation Control • Where the potential for sediment intrusion and runoff into a vernal pool exists, sedimentation and erosion controls shall be installed. • Promptly remove erosion and sedimentation control devices upon final revegetation and stabilization of the ROW. Access Roads • Use construction mats, corduroy roads, or clean materials (i.e., clean riprap, gravel, stone or equivalent and rock fords) in locations where existing on-ROW access roads must be improved and are adjacent to vernal pools. • Man-made depressions along existing on-ROW access roads provide low-quality vernal pool breeding habitat (due to an insufficient hydroperiod). Access roads must be graded and/or improved to accommodate project construction vehicles which may eliminate these depressions and the associated potential for amphibian breeding habitat. Perform improvements to on-ROW access roads outside of the breeding and migration seasons of vernal pool species to avoid direct impacts to amphibians that may breed in the man-made depressions along existing on-ROW access roads. Scheduling and Site-Specific Considerations • To the extent practicable (and in consideration of circuit outages and other construction timing constraints), schedule access road and work pad installation in and around vernal pool habitats to minimize interference with amphibian breeding and migration seasons. • For project activities that must occur adjacent to vernal pools during amphibian migration periods, implement measures on a site-specific basis to facilitate unencumbered amphibian access to and from vernal pools. Consider the sitespecific conditions including the type of construction activity that will occur in proximity to a vernal pool, the amphibian species known to occur in the vernal pool, and seasonal conditions. Identify appropriate mitigation measures. Options to be evaluated to allow amphibian access to vernal pools may include, but not be limited to: syncopated silt fencing in the immediate vicinity of vernal pools; elevated construction matting; and aligning erosion and sedimentation controls to avoid bifurcating vernal pool habitat. 3.7.1 Certified Vernal Pools (MA) Encroachment upon Certified Vernal Pools (CVP) in Massachusetts should be avoided to the maximum extent practicable. CVPs are considered Outstanding Resource Waters (ORWs) in Massachusetts and are regulated under the 401 Water Quality Certification program. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. 3.8 Access Roads Existing construction access roads are unpaved roadways that work crews use to access a site within a ROW. These access roads were generally either permitted previously or Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-7 constructed prior to the promulgation of regulations and are previously authorized under past general permits. 3.8.1 New Access Roads New access roads are generally associated with new or large-scale projects that have separate permitting requirements. Construction of new access roads will be based on plans that are reviewed and approved by applicable federal, state, and local agencies. If a new access road is needed and not associated with a large project, notify Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting to make a decision on best access routes and identification of the necessary permits and approvals required to construct the new road. Permit requirements must be followed. 3.8.2 Existing Access Roads The travel surface width of access roads in upland areas is not to exceed 16 feet. This does not include side slopes. Maintenance of existing access roads includes mowing of vegetation, grading, placement/replacement of stone, and the installation/maintenance of erosion control features (e.g., water bars, swales, sedimentation basins). When access roads are in wetlands, measures should be taken to avoid disturbance to wetlands, waterways, and other sensitive environmental areas. If avoidance is not practicable, then measures should be taken to minimize the extent of disturbance. Alternate access routes should always be considered. Below is a list of methods that should be considered where disturbance is necessary: • Minimize the width of typical access roads through wetlands. If an existing access road is evident in the wetland based on the presence of previously imported roadbuilding materials (e.g., crushed stone), the existing width of the access road must be maintained. If unable to ascertain the original width of the access, then do not make the road wider than 16 feet (including side slopes). • To the extent practicable, use low-impact vehicles and/or vehicles with low ground pressure when driving through wetlands. • Coordinate the timing of work to minimize impacts during the regulatory low-flow period under normal conditions, when water/ground is frozen, after the spring songbird nesting season, and outside of the anticipated amphibian migration window (mid- February to mid-June). The ACOE defines the low-flow periods for streams as follows: o Connecticut streams—July 1 through September 30 o Massachusetts non-tidal streams—July 1 through February 28 o Massachusetts tidal streams—November 16 to February 15 • Use construction mats in wetlands to minimize soil disturbance and rutting when work needs to occur during non-frozen ground conditions. • If practicable, conduct work manually if warranted (decision to be made by the Eversource Project Team). Existing access roads are characterized by a clear dominance of imported fill material to a depth of at least three inches. When determining the presence and extent of an existing access road, soil probes shall be advanced as necessary to establish the boundary between fill and native soil. In some cases, hydrophytic vegetation may have become established or ponding may occur within the limits of imported fill. In these cases, the clear and Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-8 consistent presence of fill along a distinguished route is considered a previously authorized fill. Where the existing access road is not evident, Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting must be consulted to make a determination whether stone can be placed in the wetland. If stone is not evident, through soil cores, hand digging or other methods, construction mats must be used. If permanent access is warranted through the wetland, the new access road will need to have a permitting review and will likely require permits. The access road in the wetland should not exceed 16 feet in width (unless there is evidence that the road was originally wider than 16 feet). Over time, existing access roads require maintenance and repair. Travel by construction equipment and general traffic to reach a particular portion of the ROW must be via the designated access road and route. Changes in the location of the access road or the use of alternate roads must be reviewed and approved by the Eversource Project Team prior to their construction or use. Access road routes were selected to prevent degradation of the utility corridor, and must be constructed, used, and maintained in accordance with this BMP Manual, as well as federal, state, and local requirements, and other project plans. In some situations, it may be necessary to construct redundant access roads, this practice should be avoided to the extent practicable. Some appropriate reasons for suggesting alternate routes are: • Poor site conditions along preferred route because of weather or season. • Property rights constraints, or property owner’s preference. • Equipment requirements. • Unanticipated off-site access limitations along existing roads. Unanticipated access opportunities (e.g., ice, snow, other developments) which may avoid environmental disturbance and/or reduce cost. General Design: New and Existing Access Roads Construction access roads that require new grading and/or filling or are to be heavily used require the creation of a stable, load-bearing surface resistant to erosion. If the existing soil and subsoil are not well drained, it may be necessary to import an aggregate road base (i.e., gravel borrow) such as that meeting the requirements of aggregate found in the: • Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Works Standard Specifications for Highways and Bridges, Section 400 • Connecticut Standard Specifications for Roads, Bridges and Incidental Construction, Section M1.02 When the construction access road follows the same route as the permanent design road, establishing the grades and subgrade for the permanent roadway early in the construction sequence is recommended. The travel surface of construction access roads shall typically not exceed 16 feet in width except for passing points, where necessary. Subgrading shall not extend beyond the space required for the finished road and normal side slopes. Where practicable, construction access roads should conform to the contours of the land, Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-9 avoiding grades steeper than 10 percent and creating side slopes no steeper than a ratio of 2:1. If the side slopes are steeper than 2:1, then use of engineered slope stabilization methods may be necessary. Consider the volume and type of construction traffic as well as the extent that natural ground must be altered to accommodate the traffic. If no grading is required and traffic is sporadic (i.e., access roads used to maintain utility lines) the measures used may be limited to water bars, or some top dressing with gravel or stone in areas where the vegetation over soft soil is destroyed by traffic. During wet weather, these roadways can generate significant quantities of sediment if not constructed with adequate stormwater management and erosion control measures. During active construction or maintenance activities, inspection of the construction access road and associated erosion and sedimentation measures should be conducted by the person(s) designated at the pre-construction meeting, should occur regularly while the activity is occurring, and repairs to controls should be made in a timely matter. Repairs may include re-grading and/or top dressing the traveled surface with additional aggregate to eliminate ruts, as well as those repairs required by each erosion and sedimentation measure used. When the roadway is no longer needed on a regular basis, the access road should be reviewed to ensure that the road is left in a condition that prevents future erosion and sedimentation (e.g., installation of water bars, gravel). In some cases, permit conditions may require that the access road be removed and that the disturbed area be restored (e.g., seeded and mulched) in accordance with applicable permits as required to match the pre-construction conditions. Erosion and Sedimentation Controls Construction personnel are reminded to control erosion and flow conditions during access road construction or maintenance activities by utilizing the following erosion and sedimentation measures which are described and illustrated further in Appendix A: • Outlet protection, a level spreader, a trench breaker, a sediment trap or basin, or a stone check dam may be used to de-energize concentrated flows from diversions and in temporary channels. • Geotextile silt fencing, compost filter berms, straw wattles and straw bale barriers may be utilized to provide protection at the toe of fill slopes and discharges from water bars. • Side slopes can be protected by installing erosion control blankets and seeding the area with a fast-growing native or annual grass mix. • Dust control should be employed when construction access road conditions create airborne dust. • Geotextile fabric shall be used beneath all new fill and construction entrances, where needed. **The use of hay and/or hay products is strictly prohibited.** **The use of nylon and/or plastic netting is strictly prohibited.** 3.8.3 Best Management Practices – New Access Roads The following are BMPs that are applicable to new access roads in uplands and are described at the following tabs: Construction Entrance Track Pad (see Figure A01 in Appendix A) Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-10 Stormwater Management BMPs (includes Water Bars [Figure A02], Drainage Swales [Figure A03], and Sedimentation Basins [Figures A38-A41] in Appendix A) Construction Entrance Track Pad Applications: Erosion and sedimentation control, roadway protection Limitations: • Maintenance is required if the pad becomes clogged with soil. • Muddy conditions may warrant the use of a tire wash station. Overview: Where access roads or construction areas connect to paved roads, a stone track pad must be installed at the construction entrance to prevent construction machinery from tracking soil onto paved roadways. Materials appropriate to construction site soil conditions should be employed and/or replenished, as necessary. Installation: • Use 3- to 6-inch washed stone to install stone tracking pads at a minimum length of 50 feet and a minimum depth of 12 inches. • On sites with clayey soils, underlay stone tracking pads with a geotextile liner to prevent the stone from sinking into the soil. Maintenance: • Periodically inspect the stone in the entrance track pad. If the pad becomes clogged with soil, remove and refresh and/or clean stone. Additional Comments: If muddy conditions warrant the use of a tire wash station, procedures should be established to ensure soils are not tracked off site. Where appropriate and when safety and environmental conditions are considered, vehicle tires or tracks may be spun quickly (“burn out”) on the track pad to further facilitate the removal of soil. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-11 Water Bar Applications: Erosion and sedimentation control Limitations: • Should never be used to direct a watercourse into another waterbody or to divert unfiltered runoff to a wetland. • Can impede vehicular movement. • Damage from vehicle traffic and stormwater flow may require water bars to be reinstalled/reworked at the beginning and end of each construction season. Overview: Water bars are linear features built diagonally across access roads or ROWs to redirect stormwater runoff away from the road surface at non-erosive intervals. In general, they consist of a trench dug at least 6 inches below grade followed by an earthen mound at least 6 inches above grade. Use water bars to prevent erosion on sloping roadways less than 100 feet wide. Water bars must be designed to be stable throughout their useful life and meet the criteria in the table below. The maximum capacity should be the peak runoff from a 10-year storm. Installation: • Set water bar direction to utilize stable outlets and do not allow upslope water bar runoff to converge with down slope water bars. Water bars should be directed into well vegetated upland areas, sediment basins, or other erosion and sedimentation controls (e.g., straw bales, silt fence) as needed. • Construct the bar immediately after vegetation has been cleared on constant or slightly increasing grades, not exceeding 2%. Avoid reverse grades. • Mark the location and width of the ridge and disk the entire length. • Fill ridge to above the design height and compact with wheeled equipment to the design cross section. • Construct sediment traps or outlet stabilization measures, as needed. • After the area has been permanently stabilized, remove the ridge and channel to blend with the natural ground level. • Seed and mulch diversions that are intended for use for more than 30 days. Minimum Cross Section Top Width (ft) Height (ft) Side Slopes 0 1.5 4:1 4 1.5 2:1 Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-12 Maximum Recommended Spacing1 Land Slope (%) Diversion Spacing (ft) < 5 125 5 to 10 100 10 to 20 75 20 to 30 50 > 35 25 1 Recommendations for ROW widths less than 100 feet as per the Massachusetts Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Urban and Suburban Areas (MassDEP, March 1997). Maintenance: • Inspect each week and after rain events of 0.25 inches (MA) or 0.50 inches (CT) or greater, or more frequently per permit conditions or Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Repair damage caused by construction traffic or erosion. • Remove accumulated sediment and debris from the trench and stabilize outlets. • If necessary, repair ridge to a positive grade and cross section, and add gravel at crossing areas. • Use routine inspections to determine if the original spacing is adequate or if additional water bars need to be constructed. Drainage Swales Applications: Convey stormwater away from work area and/or improve water quality and reduce peak runoff. Limitations: • Vegetated swales need to have adequately established vegetation before flow is diverted to them. • Need to have adequate bottom stabilization to prevent scouring. Overview: Drainage swales usually consist of a ditch that is either vegetated or lined with riprap, erosion control blankets, or other materials. They are natural or constructed waterways/outlets that intercept, redirect, and convey stormwater away from the work area to a stable location and are used in areas where concentrated runoff would otherwise cause erosion/flooding. Swales can be used to reduce erosion in uplands and/or prior to discharge of stormwater flows to natural receiving waters (e.g., wetlands or streams). They also help to reduce surface flow velocity and turbidity. Grass Lined Channels (Stabilized with vegetation) • Use where vegetative lining will provide sufficient stability, slopes are less than 5%, and space is available for a wide cross section. Installation: • Remove trees, brush, and stumps. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-13 • Excavate and shape channel to dimensions on plans. Overcut 0.2 ft for vegetative growth. • Install temporary liner or riprap at inflows and stabilize outlets. • Vegetate immediately after construction and divert water until grass establishes. Install matting if flow cannot be diverted. • Install sod rather than seeding where slopes approach 5%. • Spread topsoil to a minimum of 4 inches where soil conditions are unfavorable. Seeded channels should be mulched. Vegetated Swales (Stabilized with dense vegetation) • Use for water quality improvement and peak runoff reduction. Applicable for small drainage areas with relatively small amount of impervious cover. The grassed waterway is used to convey runoff at a non-erosive velocity. Dense vegetation can be established and a stable outlet constructed. Installation: • General design parameters are as follows: minimum capacity 10-year, 24-hour storm; design slopes to prevent erosion during the 2-year storm event; maximum side slopes 3:1; bottom width 2 to 8 feet. • Vegetate with a native erosion control seed mix for use at moist sites and divert flow until established. Riprap Lined Channels (Contains lining of riprap or stone) • Use on sites where channel flow velocities exceed those acceptable for grass lined swales. Applicable where vegetative establishment is not possible or there are steep grades, wetness, highly erodible soils, seepage or prolonged base flow. Installation: • Remove trees, brush, and vegetation from channel area. • Stabilize inlets and install outlet protection. • Construct channel and install filter and lining as shown on plan. • Use the maximum stone size for riprap plus thickness of filter. Maintenance: • Swales need to be routinely maintained to prevent brush/sediment buildup. Inspect swale regularly and after every rain event (0.25 inches (MA) or 0.50 inches (CT), or greater). Repair and/or re-seed rill or gully erosion. Remove accumulated sediments and brush before it reaches a depth of 6 inches. Additional Comments: • Depth and spacing of swales should be dependent on runoff conditions of the specific site. • If required, install check dams constructed of riprap or other materials to slow flows along certain reaches of a swale. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-14 • Remove temporary swales once construction is complete or areas are stabilized. If leaving swales in place will provide long-term benefits and be compatible with the ultimate use of the site, then they may remain in place. Sedimentation Basins Applications: Erosion and sedimentation control Limitations: • Traps and basins need to be adequately sized based on expected rain events and the contributing drainage area. Overview: Sediment traps and basins are used to filter and settle out suspended solids in stormwater runoff before water is released into a wetland or other unprotected and/or sensitive environmental area. A sediment trap is a temporary measure installed during construction to detain runoff, while a basin is a more permanent measure. Basins are also used where other erosion control measures are not adequate to prevent off-site sedimentation. Sediment traps and basins should have three components: a forebay, a check dam, and a basin. Debris and some sediments begin to settle out of the water in the forebay. The stone or straw bale check dam filters more suspended solids as water flows through. The actual basin is a low-velocity pool where suspended solids settle out of the water column before the water is released at the outlet. Based on the size of the project area, a qualified engineer may be required to calculate the appropriate size of the basin. State-specific guidance for basin sizing can be found in the following locations: • Massachusetts Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Urban and Suburban Areas (Page 140); http://www.mass.gov/eea/docs/dep/water/esfull.pdf • 2002 Connecticut Guidelines for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control (Section 5-11- 1); http://www.ct.gov/de p/cwp/view.asp?A=2720&Q=325660. Installation: Drainage area of 5 acres or less: • Install to direct stormwater runoff to the sedimentation trap or basin. Form basin by excavating a depression similar to a small pond or by placing an earthen embankment across an existing drainage swale or naturally low area. • The ratio between the basin length and width should be greater than 3:1 (L:W). A ratio of 9:1 is recommended. • Clear, grub, and strip all vegetation and root material from area of embankment and place embankment fill in lifts (<9”/lift, max). Compact fill and construct side slopes 2:1 or flatter. Excavate rectangular outlet section from compacted embankment. • Filter fabric may be installed on bottom and sides of basin and covered by riprap. • Extend outlet apron/spillway below toe of dam on level grade until stable conditions are reached (5 feet minimum). Cover inside face of stone outlet section with a 1 Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-15 foot layer of ½- to ¼-inch washed stone. • Use permanent or temporary seeding to vegetate embankments, spillways, and disturbed areas downgradient of the basin. Drainage area of 10 acres or less: • Locate the basin in an easily accessible upland area, not a wetland area. • Install the basin so that it intercepts the largest possible amount of runoff from the disturbed area. • Divert sediment-laden water to the upper end of the sediment pool to improve trapping effectiveness. • Basin should have a minimum volume based on ½-inch of storage for each acre of drainage area. • Size basin to provide a minimum detention of 12 to 24 hours at the maximum runoff quantity expected for the duration of the basin’s use. Maintenance: • Monitor the amount of sedimentation in the trap/basin. Install a stake with a marking at half the design depth. Remove sediment when it reaches this mark. • Inspect after every rain event. • Clean or replace the spillway gravel and re-seed/plant vegetation, as needed. • Monitor embankment, spillway, and outlet for erosion. Repair erosion problems immediately. Additional Comments: Construction of sediment traps and/or basins should occur before primary construction on a project begins. They are often a critical stormwater management component for larger construction sites and/or those with poorly drained upland soils. If compatible with the post-construction site use, it may be appropriate to leave sediment basins in place indefinitely. 3.8.4 Construction in Wetlands Access roads that are constructed in or across wetlands require the following considerations in addition to the considerations for access roads in uplands: • Construction of new access roads in wetlands, whether temporary or permanent, that do not utilize construction mats (e.g., earthen and/or rock fill roads, corduroy roads) requires considerable project specific permitting and design. These types of projects should comply with project specific permits and plans, while only using this BMP manual as a general reference source. Permits often also require wetlands replication when permanent new access roads are constructed in wetlands. • Avoid putting the construction access road in a wetland whenever practicable. Explore all feasible and prudent alternatives before determining that a wetland crossing is necessary. When avoidance is not practicable, consider crossings that will result in the least amount of disturbance. This may involve locating the construction access road so that it crosses the wetland at its narrowest width or uses areas previously disturbed for access or other purposes. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-16 • Minimize the width of the temporary construction access road through the wetlands (generally no wider than 16 feet when using construction mats). It is preferable to have a passing point created before and after the wetland crossing, but internal passing points may be needed if the crossing is long or critical sight line restrictions exist. • Construct access roads so that wildlife is able to pass under or go through the road. In areas where the road is only one construction mat thick, allow for passageways or “gaps” between construction mats. In locations where the access road is greater than one mat thick, install elevated construction mat road crossings or ”bridges.” Gaps and/or bridges are to be placed along the access road at intervals no less than 50 feet. • Consider the soil conditions. Expect deep organic wetland soils to require geotextiles, construction mats, or other materials during use to keep imported road materials separated from wetland soils. In shallow organic or saturated soils, thick plywood sheets or AlturnaMATS® may be sufficient to support a stable travel surface for small, lightweight vehicles. In addition, in areas which are inundated or have deep organic wetland soils, it may be necessary to use more than one layer of construction mats. • Prevent obstructions to surface and subsurface flow across and through the construction access road. Provide adequate drainage. This may require the use of crushed stone, a layer of log corduroy, construction mat bridges, or multiple cross culverts, particularly if the wetland does not contain a well-defined watercourse channel and/or the wetland crossing is long. If the wetland soils are susceptible to seasonal high groundwater tables or flooding, then give additional consideration for maintaining flows across and/or over the construction access road without causing erosion or siltation during such times. • Plan in advance how the construction access road will be removed and the wetland restored. A road stabilization geotextile can facilitate the segregation of imported soils and crushed stone and/or log corduroy from the native wetland soils and make wetland restoration easier. However, after the end of an extensive project and a highly traveled crossing, stone removal from the wetland surface will still usually have to occur, even when placed in conjunction with geotextile. In some cases, access roads may not need to be constructed in a wetland to gain access into or through a wetland if the work can be designed such that disturbances to the wetland are avoided or negligible. Options to be considered are presented below. Equipment Selection and Usage: • Low ground pressure equipment - Using equipment that reduces the pressure it exerts on the ground can minimize disturbance to sensitive areas. Employing the use of equipment with wide tires, rubberized tracks, and low ground pressure (<3 psi when loaded) can help minimize soil compaction. • Wide tires - Increasing the width of tires will increase traveling surface area and therefore reduce the amount of ground compaction that the equipment will cause. Ultimately, this will reduce rutting, and allow for easier maneuvering of the vehicle. However, wide tires may be costly and will require a wider travel area. • Rubberized tracks - Equipment with rubberized tracks spreads the weight of the vehicle over a much larger surface, reducing ground pressure and enabling the vehicle to move more freely through wet substrates. Each track can be between Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-17 1.5 and 3 feet wide, length depending on the width of the vehicle. This can greatly reduce rutting and allow the vehicle to move with less difficulty through wet substrates. • Lightweight equipment - Disturbance in a wetland area can be lessened by reducing the size of equipment (e.g., ORVs, Gator™) used in sensitive environmental areas. This reduces the amount of pressure to the travel surface as well as the necessary width of access ways. Timing of Work: • Work during frozen conditions. Activities conducted once wetland areas are frozen can minimize rutting and other disturbance to the surrounding environment. Work during this time also generally reduces disturbance of aquatic and terrestrial wildlife movement by avoiding sensitive breeding and nesting seasons. • Work during the “low flow” period. Conducting work during the low flow period can reduce disturbance to surface water and generally avoids spawning and breeding seasons of aquatic organisms. The ACOE defines the low-flow periods for streams as follows: o Connecticut streams—July 1 through September 30 o Massachusetts non-tidal streams— July 1 through September 30 o Massachusetts tidal streams—November 16 through February 15 Alternate Access: • Manual access – Consider accessing work areas on foot through terrestrial areas and/or by boat through open water or ponded areas. Smaller projects (e.g., repairs to individual structures or parts of structures) do not categorically require the use of heavy machinery and should be accessed manually to the extent practicable. • Limit trips – Multiple trips through a wetland have shown to increase the potential for damage and requirement for matting. Try to limit trip to one in and one out. Use of overhead/aerial access (e.g., helicopters): • Using overhead or aerial equipment can be expensive and is not always feasible, but it may be appropriate in some situations to get vehicles and other equipment to a site that may be otherwise very difficult to access. The use of overhead and/or aerial equipment may be beneficial for work in areas where large water bodies, deep crevices, or mountainous areas hinder ground access. Erosion and Sedimentation Controls: Construction personnel are reminded to control erosion and flow conditions during new access road construction by utilizing the following erosion and sedimentation measures which are described and illustrated further in Appendix A: • Straw wattles [Figure A26 in Appendix A], geotextile silt fencing [Figure A22 in Appendix A], and straw bale barriers [Figure A21 in Appendix A] may be installed at the edges of earthen roads or construction mat roads to prevent erosion of soil into wetlands from the road fill or tracked soil on construction mats. • In areas where silt fencing is required for more than one activity season, syncopated silt fencing [Figure A23 in Appendix A] may be installed to permit animal crossings. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-18 • Side slopes of earthen roads can be protected by installing erosion control blankets [Figure A25 in Appendix A] and seeding [Figure A32 in Appendix A] the area with a fast-growing native or annual grass mix. • Dust control should be employed as necessary when construction access road conditions create airborne dust when necessary. Refer to Section 3.16 of this BMP Manual. Best Management Practices – Construction in Wetlands The following are BMPs that are applicable to new access roads in wetlands and are described at the following tab: Construction Mats (includes Elevated Construction Mats and AlturnaMATs®; see Figures A04 – A06 in Appendix A) Permeable Road (see Figure A08 in Appendix A) Dewatering (see Figures A39 – A41 in Appendix A) Construction Mats (i.e., timber or swamp mats) Applications: Wetland crossings, rut minimization • Used for access where the ground surface is unstable due to shallow, standing water, saturated soils, or other substrates not suitable for heavy vehicles. Limitations: • Only for temporary use. Generally, mats should be removed upon construction completion. • May float away in high water conditions. • Need to be installed with heavy machinery. • AlturnaMATs® limited to smaller vehicles and equipment. • Equipment operators should remain cautious so as not to drive off or slip off the side of the mats. • In winter, mats must be plowed and sanded or heated to prevent equipment from sliding off mats. Use of a deicing agent requires approval by Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Snow removal must be conducted in accordance with the Eversource Snow Removal BMP (refer to Section 3.15). Installation: • Place mats along the travel area without any gaps and so that each board is positioned perpendicular to the direction of traffic. Position mats so that they are offset far enough from the resource area so that ruts are not created when equipment enters and exits a sensitive area. • Remove mats by “backing” out of the site and removing mats one at a time. Regrade soils to pre-existing contours while taking care not to compact soils. • Clean mats after use to remove any invasive plant species seed stock. Cleaning methods may include, but are not limited to, shaking or dropping mats in a controlled manner with a piece of machinery to knock off attached soil and debris, Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-19 spraying with water or air, sweeping, or exposing the mats to high temperatures. • Clean mats that were used in wetlands dominated by invasive species using brooms, shovels, and compressed air, if needed. Additional Comments: Construction mats installed in wetlands categorized as ORWs in Massachusetts must be underlain by non-woven geotextile, which can be placed directly on the ground surface beneath the first layer of matting or atop the first layer of matting if additional layers of mats are to be installed. Lightweight, easy to maneuver alternatives to traditional mats are available. For example, AlturnaMATS® are half-inch thick polyethylene slip-resistant ground protection mats available in dimensions up to 4 feet by 8 feet and weigh between 21.5 and 86 pounds. Mat anchoring may be required for matting installed in areas prone to flooding, such as stream crossings, shorelines of lakes and ponds, floodplains where known base flood elevations are 2 feet or greater above the ground surface, and tidal areas, and when mats will be in place in these areas for more than two weeks during hurricane season. The need for, and type of, anchoring should be coordinated with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Examples of mat anchoring include: • Linear ropes anchored using helical screws, manta ray anchors, or posts. • Cable or report in chain pockets and run linearly. Construction mat anchoring methods are illustrated in Figure A07 in Appendix A of this BMP Manual. Additional methods may be necessary depending on site and/or weather conditions. Permeable Road (i.e., rock sandwich, French Mattress, or road with continuous crossdrainage) Applications: Temporary wetland crossings, rut minimization Limitations: • Must be removed entirely at the end of construction unless project-specific permits have been obtained to allow for permanent wetland fill. • Not appropriate for areas where concentrated, high volume and/or velocity water flow will intersect the road (i.e., stream crossings). • Need to be installed with heavy machinery. • Equipment operators should remain cautious so as not to drive or slip off the side of the road. Overview: Permeable roads are used for access in situations not suitable for heavy vehicle use often due to unstable ground surfaces with shallow standing water, saturated soils, or other unstable substrate. Installation of a permeable road can also help reduce the potential for frost action and pothole creation by preventing groundwater from wicking up into the road fill material. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-20 Installation: • Cover existing soil with a geotextile fabric prior to road construction. Excavation of existing soil is generally not recommended in order to minimize impacts to the resource area. Construct road on top of the soil surface, as shown on the typical on the next page. Drainage layer materials include 3- to 6-inch rock (12-inch minimum depth) or log corduroy (2-inch minimum diameter). • Install the road so that it is offset far enough from the resource area so that ruts are not created when equipment enters and exits a sensitive area. • Remove road by “backing” out of the site and removing road one section at a time. Regrade soils to pre-existing contours while taking care not to compact soils. Maintenance: • Regularly inspect and clean edges of cross-drainage layer along the sides of the road to prevent clogging by debris, leaf litter, sediment, etc. 3.8.5 Watercourse Crossings There are a number of BMPs that can be used to minimize disturbance to streams. For each application, consider the site and project needs to select a method that is cost effective and will incur the fewest secondary disturbances. Additional erosion and sedimentation controls (e.g., straw bales) may be required in conjunction with the stream crossing BMPs to protect sensitive areas. The stream crossing methodology chosen will depend largely on the equipment required for a particular task, the existing environmental conditions, and the duration of the crossing. In constructing any stream crossing, care should be taken to limit disturbance to the extent practicable within 100 to 200 feet of the stream banks (the riparian area). The riparian area provides habitat to a number of species and provides protection and shading to the stream. Erosion and Sedimentation Controls Construction personnel are reminded to control erosion and flow conditions during new watercourse crossings by utilizing the following erosion and sedimentation measures which are described and illustrated further in Appendix A: • Straw wattles [see Figure A26 in Appendix A], geotextile silt fencing [see Figure A22 in Appendix A] and/or straw bale barriers [see Figure A21 in Appendix A] may be installed at the edges of earthen roads or construction mat roads to prevent erosion of soil into watercourses from the road fill or tracked soil on construction mats. These controls however should generally not be placed within a watercourse. • Side slopes of earthen roads can be protected by installing erosion control blankets [see Figure A25 in Appendix A] and seeding [see Figure A32 in Appendix A] the area with a fast-growing native or annual grass mix. Best Management Practices – Watercourse Crossings The following are BMPs that are applicable to new access roads watercourse crossings and are described at the following tabs: Stream Crossings without Bridges (includes limiting turbidity and stone crossing; see Figures A05, A06, and A12 in Appendix A) Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-21 Bridged Crossings (includes construction mat bridges and rail car frame bridges; see Appendix A) Dewatering (see Figures A39 – A41 in Appendix A) Stream Crossings Without Bridges: Limiting Turbidity Applications: Stream crossing, turbidity control Limitations: • Limited to areas where stream banks and bottoms will not be significantly damaged by the crossing. Overview/Use: • In some situations, such as routine or emergency maintenance with small ORVs, pickup trucks or tracked equipment, it may be acceptable for equipment to simply travel (perpendicularly) through a stream. • Crossings are generally considered acceptable in situations where there is an existing or historic access road, a stable rock or sand/gravel stream bottom, and/or the crossing is at a relatively narrow reach of the stream and any adjacent wetlands. • Cross streams slowly to minimize in-stream turbidity. Stream Crossings Without Bridges: Stone Crossings Applications: Stream crossing, turbidity control Limitations: • Only use in small (less than 2 feet wide or braided) intermittent streams which do not appear on USGS topographic maps and have a downstream section with a gradient greater than 20%. • Not suitable in areas where there could be a potential for fish passage. • Stone size should be sufficient to allow for macroinvertebrate passage. • Not preferred for new access road crossings; generally more suitable for existing access road crossings. • Project-specific permitting may be required to allow for installation of stone within a stream bed. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting prior to using this crossing method. Overview/Use: • Use to cross small streams with stable stream bottoms. • Carefully place 6-inch to 8-inch clean angular stone within stream at crossing. Limit width of stone to that needed for widest vehicle/equipment to crossing the stream. • Drive over stone slowly. • Leave riprap in intermittent streams for future use. More damage will occur by removing stone. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-22 Bridged Crossings: Construction Mats as Temporary Bridge Applications: Watercourse crossings Limitations: • Installation requires machinery. • May become unstable under high flows. Overview/Use: • Untreated wooden construction mats may be used as a temporary bridge over a stream to allow construction vehicles access to the work site. Construction mat bridging is suitable for crossing intermittent and perennial streams. Before constructing a stream crossing, confirm that the construction mats are capable of supporting the equipment to be used. • Place small sections of matting on either side of the stream parallel to the flow of water at top of banks to act as supports. Then place mats perpendicular to the stream and resting on top of the initial construction mat supports. • Install non-woven geotextile between the first and second layers of matting; install erosion control barriers (e.g., straw bales, straw wattles, silt socks) along edges of timber matting to minimize potential for soil to discharge to the stream. • Use of non-woven geotextile fabric at ORW crossings (MA) is required. Bridged Crossings: Rail Car Frame as Temporary Bridge Applications: Watercourse crossings Limitations: • Requires heavy equipment for transport and installation. • Expensive. • Banks must be stable to support heavy loads. Overview/Use: • Used rail car frames can be used for crossing larger and deeply incised streams where construction mats are unsuitable. • Place the rail car frame perpendicular to the stream flow and between opposing banks. Use timber frame footings, if necessary. Next, place construction matting • Install non-woven geotextile between the first and second layers of matting; install erosion control barriers (e.g., straw bales, straw wattles, silt socks) along edges of timber matting to minimize potential for soil to discharge to the stream. Use of non-woven geotextile fabric at ORW crossings (MA) is required. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-23 Culvert Installation/Repair/Replacement *Contact Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting prior to performing any culvert installations, repairs and/or replacements* Applications: Stream and wetland crossings Limitations: • Permitting and design are required for new culvert installation or expansion of existing culverts over streams and wetlands. Significant regulatory requirements must be followed. Permitting restrictions on time of year use. • Installation may require in-stream work; dewatering and sedimentation concerns. • Culverts are susceptible to washouts, sedimentation, erosion, and failure during heavy wet-weather events and flooding. • Culverts require routine and long-term maintenance because they often become clogged with debris or other obstructions. Overview: Culverts are installed to maintain wetlands or streams at road crossings. Hydraulic calculations are required at all crossings to determine the area that will drain to the culvert. General Design Guidelines: • Size culverts to handle the maximum expected flow of the wetland or watercourse. It is preferable to have one large culvert rather than multiple culverts. Corrugated culverts are favored because they slow the water velocity. HDPE corrugated pipes are preferred to metal. • Design culverts to withstand and accommodate high flows while maintaining existing low flows and not impeding on the movement of indigenous aquatic life. Culverts must be sized to accommodate flows from at least the 100-year storm and preferably 500-year storm. • The maximum velocity at the culvert outlet should be consistent with the velocity of the natural channel. To mitigate higher velocities, use outlet protection measures, energy dissipation, and channel stabilization, if necessary. • Refer to state specific stream crossing guidance documents for additional design requirements: o Connecticut: Stream Crossing Guidelines, CT DEEP, Inland Fisheries Division Habitat Conservation and Enhancement Program, February 26, 2008 (www.ct.gov/deep/lib/deep/fishing/restoration/streamcrossingguidelines.pdf) o Massachusetts: Massachusetts River and Stream Crossing Standards, River and Stream Continuity Partnership, March 1, 2006, Revised March 1, 2011 (https://www.nae.usace.army.mil/Portals/74/docs/regulatory/StreamRive rCo ntinuity/MA_RiverStreamCrossingStandards.pdf) Installation: • Construction mats may be placed over culverts to provide structural protection from heavy loads. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-24 • Backfill culverts with natural substrate matching the upstream and downstream streambed substrate, even when fish passage is not a concern. Other aquatic organisms rely on natural streambed sediment to aid their movement. • Strive to install culverts with minimal disruption to the watercourse and riparian buffer zone. • Culvert length should be as short in length as practicable. Cut culverts to size if they are protruding into the natural streambed. Maintenance: • Remove debris and sediment from culverts to maintain an open channel for flow. A clogged culvert could result in flooding and washout. Pole Fords Applications: Stream Crossings Limitations: • Limited to streams with gently sloping adjacent land. Overview/Use: • Poled fords are used in remote locations where a stream crossing requires a functional BMP, but it is impractical to bring in larger materials. Sufficiently sized wood poles or saw logs of may be laid in the streambed parallel to the flow. • Gently slope the road to and from the streambed at a maximum ratio of 1:5 (V:H). To limit disturbance to the riparian area, install engineering fabric and cover with an aggregate bed at the approach and exit. • Use poles with a minimum length of ten feet. • Remove poles immediately after use. 3.9 Slope Excavation Engineering designs may be required for any changes in upland areas that could potentially direct or channel water across the face of slopes, particularly terrace escarpments or other highly erodible soils. No snow or soil piles, construction materials, or equipment should be stored in the immediate vicinity at the top of the terrace escarpment or other highly erodible soils. 3.10 Vegetation Removal and Preservation Care should be taken to limit disturbance to the extent practicable when removing vegetation. Grubbing is not preferred as it results in considerable ground disturbance that could result in erosion and should be avoided to the extent feasible. Utilize grubbing only when all other methods cannot be used to prepare stable and safe work areas. If grubbing is necessary, the area must be seeded and mulched to protect it prior to the end of the workday. During mowing and trimming, woody debris greater than two (2) inches in diameter should not be placed in wetlands, and no woody debris should be placed in standing water. Permit conditions may mandate all woody debris to be removed from sensitive environmental areas. Mowing must be kept to a minimum, particularly at road crossings. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-25 3.10.1 ROW Vegetation and Eastern Box Turtle (EBT) – MA only Eastern box turtles (EBT) are often found near small streams and ponds and inhabit old fields, deciduous forests, and logged woodlands. Adults are completely terrestrial, while the young may be semiaquatic. EBTs hibernate on land by digging down in the soil between October and April. They have an extremely small home range and can usually be found in the same area year after year. EBT populations have been negatively impacted by the loss of suitable habitat. Some turtles may be killed directly by construction activities, but many more are lost when important habitat areas for shelter, feeding, hibernation, or nesting are destroyed. As remaining habitat is fragmented into smaller pieces, turtle populations can become small and isolated. Turtles are long-lived and the loss of even a single adult turtle can negatively impact the persistence of a local population. Therefore, vegetation removal in ROWs should be performed in a manner that minimizes impacts to turtle populations. Cleared and Maintained ROW—EBTs have been found to use existing ROWs for foraging and nesting. Whenever feasible, perform maintenance mowing in identified habitat during inactive periods (November 1st to March 31st). Turtle BMPs are not required for work performed during the inactive period. If mowing during the active turtle season (April 1st to October 31st) is required, turtle sweeps should be conducted by trained personnel prior to mowing activities; mow vegetation to no lower than seven (7) inches. Use Brontosaurus or Fecon mower heads to minimize the impact to identified habitat areas. Do not used Flail-type mowers during the active season. Additionally: • Avoid direct harm to turtles. Visual inspections (“turtle sweeps”) of the work area must be conducted by trained personnel prior to the commencement of work. If turtles are encountered, they should be removed from the work area and reported to NHESP. Use extra care when using heavy machinery or traveling in vehicles through areas mapped as turtle habitat. Any silt fencing used in these areas should be removed as soon as site stabilization has occurred; fencing can be a barrier to turtle movements. Alternatively, install silt fencing in accordance with the Syncopated Silt Fence detail (see Appendix A). If required, excavation should be completed within one (1) day and/or open excavations should be backfilled daily to prevent turtles from becoming trapped. Uncleared ROW—When project work requires vegetation removal in an uncleared ROW, cut and mow uncleared portions of EBT habitat during the active season (April 1st to November 1st). If clearing must be conducted during hibernation periods, pre-planning will involve conducting a turtle survey and the possible use of telemetry. Consult Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting before performing work because this activity may not be covered under the OMP and may require a permit. 3.10.2 ROW Vegetation and Other Protected Turtles In addition to EBTs, some ROWs overlap with known habitat of other protected species of turtles. In Massachusetts, these species include Blanding’s Turtle, Bog Turtle and Northern Red-bellied Cooter. If any work, including but not limited to vegetation Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-26 management, is scheduled to occur in the habitats of these turtles at any time of the year, avoid wetland work. If unavoidable, operation and maintenance work in wetlands should be minimized to the greatest extent practicable. If work must occur in wetlands, the following guidelines apply: • Any work should be reported to NHESP • Work within wetlands mapped as habitat for the Bog Turtle or Northern Redbellied Cooter must be reviewed on an individual basis by NHESP. Recommended Maintenance Activity if the Existing ROW is: Time Period Turtle Status Cleared and Maintained Uncleared April 1 to November 1 Active Perform only if required— Mow vegetation no lower than seven (7) inches and use recommended mower heads Recommended—Cut and mow uncleared areas November 1 to April 1 Inactive Recommended—Perform maintenance mowing Not recommended— Requires turtle survey at minimum before removing vegetation General Construction Recommendations –The following are general construction guidelines for protecting turtles: • Install silt fencing around the work area prior to construction activity. Consider using syncopated silt fencing (see Figure A23 in Appendix A). • Turtle training is required for all contractors. Apprise workers of the possible presence of turtles and provided a description of the species. Include a turtle sweep reminder on the Daily Tailboard. • Conduct a turtle sweep after installing silt fencing and before conducting work. • Perform daily turtle sweeps in work areas before performing any work. • Carefully move any turtles that are discovered to an area immediately outside of the fenced area. Position turtle in the same direction that it was walking. • Perform work with caution during early morning and evening hours. Take special care not to harm basking or foraging individuals. • Remove silt fencing after work is completed and soils are stable so that reptile and amphibian movement between uplands and wetlands is not restricted. • Return temporary cross-country access routes to pre-construction grade, seed if adequate root and seed stock are absent, and mulch. Do not seed pre-existing sandy soils that are within mapped rare turtle habitats unless directed by Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting in order to avoid altering nesting habitat. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-27 3.10.3 Preservation of Existing Vegetation Preserve the existing vegetation (i.e., groundcovers, vines, shrubs, trees) when practicable to improve soil stability and decrease the runoff volume and velocity. Identify and protect specified trees for erosion and sediment control benefits and/or aesthetic purposes. Consider saving trees that provide shading or screening benefits, particularly in residential areas. Preserve existing vegetation by reducing the width of a cleared ROW at stream crossings. 3.10.4 Invasive Plant Species Invasive plant species are non-native species that invade natural communities and develop self-sustaining populations. The start of many infestations is often tied to a disturbance, and once established, the invasive species spread into undisturbed landscapes. They out-compete native species, disrupting ecological processes, and cause a loss of economic value or output. It is illegal to transport, to introduce, and/or propagate state-listed invasive species. Cleaning, draining and drying equipment between sites is mandated for aquatic invasives, and recommended for terrestrial equipment. Power washing of equipment and gear between sites is recommended, where feasible. At a minimum, visual inspection and hand removal of any plants, seeds, propagules, insects, mud, etc. is encouraged to maintain compliance with state laws and rules. The linear nature of utility maintenance activities in vegetated corridors entails that a range of vegetative communities may be encountered by equipment, vehicles and personnel during the course of a single maintenance project or when mobilizing from one project site to another. It is especially important to follow best management practices when mobilizing equipment, vehicles and personnel from an area infested with invasive species to an un-infested area. 3.10.4.1 Project Planning – Invasive Plant Species Prior to starting utility maintenance work, the project area should be evaluated to determine: • Do invasive plant species exist in the project area? • Do project activities have the potential to contact invasive plants or disturb soils in a manner that could potentially spread live plant parts or viable seeds? • If invasive species are not present, or if it is not possible or not feasible to identify invasive plant species within the project area, follow best management practices to minimize the disturbance and spread of soil and/or plant matter. 3.10.4.2 Species Identification It is imperative that workers who will be working or operating equipment in areas that may contain invasive plant species be trained in the identification and modes of dispersal of common, highly-prolific aquatic and terrestrial invasive plant species commonly found along road sides and in utility ROWs. See tables below for identification of the common invasive plants in Connecticut and Massachusetts.

The list was most recently re-printed in October 2018. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-31 Avoidance and Minimization • If possible, avoid or minimize contact with invasive species by physically avoiding locations with invasive plant infestations. • In locations where invasive infestations exist, design the project to minimize contact with invasive species by choosing access routes and staging areas that are outside areas of infestation. • Sequence work to the extent possible such that work using clean equipment and materials proceeds in un-infested areas prior to moving into infested areas and not vice versa. • If it is unknown whether invasive species exist, design the project to limit travel across vegetated areas to the extent possible. • When possible, time work under conditions that minimize the risk of spread, (frozen ground, snow cover, absence of seeds or propagules). Vegetation Management • Control of invasive plants by chemical means should be performed by a licensed applicator in accordance with the requirements of the CT DEEP Pesticide Management Program, the Massachusetts Pesticide Control Act (MPCA; M.G.L. Chapter 132B) and 333 CMR 2.00, ROW Vegetation Management regulations (333 CMR 11.00), and the MAWPA. • Mechanical mowing of vegetation should adhere to principals of avoidance and minimization. Where possible avoid mowing invasive plants, especially plants that have the ability to sprout from stem and root fragments. For other invasive species, mowing should occur prior to seed set if possible. • If woody vegetation is removed from a project site, transport it in compliance with invasive pest or disease quarantine zones established by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, MA DCR, and MA DAR. • Any restoration seed mixes used should be free of any species identified as invasive by the Connecticut Invasive Plants Council in accordance with Connecticut General Statutes §22a-381a through §22a-381d (in Connecticut) or the Massachusetts Invasive Plants Advisory Group (in Massachusetts). Soil Disturbance and Management • Where possible, avoid soil disturbance as it may increase the chances of colonization by invasive seeds or propagules. • Stabilize disturbed soils as soon as possible by seeding and/or using mulch, straw or gravel that is free of invasive plant material. • Where possible, when excavating soils, top layers of soil containing plant material and roots should be segregated from sub soils and left on site. • Cover soil and other material containing invasive plant material during transport. • Do not transport fill and material containing invasive plant material onto a project site. • If fill and materials containing invasive species must be transported off site, do not reuse, stockpile or dispose of these materials in such a manner that could promote Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-32 the spread of invasive plants. Decontamination Procedures • When utility maintenance activities require work in areas infested with invasive species, implement decontamination procedures per NHDOT’s Best Management Practices for Roadside Invasive Plants manual. • In order to minimize the spread of invasive plant seeds and material: o Clean vehicles, equipment, materials, gear, footwear or clothing of all visible soil and plant material on site in the infested area, or as near as practical to the infested area, prior to leaving the project site. o Do not decontaminate equipment next to streams or water bodies that could potentially transport seeds or propagules. o Decontaminate equipment and materials that may be contaminated by aquatic plant materials adjacent to the surface water they were exposed to prior to use in another surface water body. o Do not transport water withdrawn from a surface water body and discharge it to another water body. Methods of Cleaning • Use a brush, broom or hand tools to manually clean. • Clean debris off equipment such as construction matting by shaking or dropping mats in a controlled manner to dislodge attached soil and debris. • Compressed air. • Containment must be in compliance with wastewater discharge regulations when using low-or high-pressure wash stations. 3.11 Work Pads 3.11.1 De-Energized and Energized Applications: Work in wetlands • Reconnaissance of each work pad area in or adjacent to wetlands should be performed to determine if the construction mat work pad areas could be located outside of wetland resource areas. Wetland disturbances should be avoided or minimized where practicable. Coordinate work pad locations and/or configurations with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Limitations: • Requires heavy machinery for installation. • Significant amount of time required for installation and removal. • Pads for live line work require a considerably larger footprint. • Several layers of matting may be needed in deep, construction areas. • Animals may be injured or killed when attempting to cross work pads. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-33 • May not be suitable in deep/open water wetlands. • Must be underlain with non-woven geotextile if within an ORW (MA only). How to Use: • Work at structures may require placement of construction mats to provide safe and stable work pad areas for employees and contractors. • Live line work, which is work that is done while the line is energized, requires a much larger work pad area. Efforts should be avoid or minimize impacts to wetlands to the extent practicable. • Sizes of work pads vary based on the type of work being proposed. • Work pad areas may extend into wetlands where structures that require maintenance either fall within or are in proximity to wetlands. In these cases, untreated wooden construction mats shall be used to limit disturbance. • Install silt fencing around work pads in identified amphibian and reptile priority habitat and where matting is greater than one mat thick. The exclusionary silt fencing will deter animals from moving across work pads and reduce the likelihood of being crushed by heavy equipment. • Following construction activities all mats at each work pad and vehicle access locations must be removed. • Remove mats by “backing” out of the site and removing mats one at a time. Regrade soils to pre-existing contours while taking care not to compact soils, if necessary. • In areas with invasive species, plant material should be removed from mats following removal from the infested area to prevent the spread of invasive species. Refer to the tables in this section for additional details regarding invasive plant species. 3.11.1.1 Best Management Practices – Work Pads De-energized work requires smaller work pad areas, while live line work (i.e., work that is done while the line is energized) requires a much larger work pad areas. De-energized construction mat work pads (see Figure A14 Appendix A) 3.12 Structure-Related Work 3.12.1 Wetland Structure-related activities that may occur in wetlands include structure replacement/ installation (including casing installation), guy wire anchor installation, counterpoise installation, and pole butt removal. Access to these areas and completion of the activities can cause disturbance to wetland vegetation and soils. Therefore, structure-related activities in wetlands should entail use of adequately sized work pads and proper dewatering methods if/as needed. Inspection of the construction access and associated dewatering measures should occur daily during construction to ensure that controls are in working order and repairs to damaged/deteriorating controls are made in a timely matter. Repairs may include re-grading the traveled surface to eliminate ruts as well as those repairs required by each erosion and sedimentation measure used. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-34 Structure Replacement/Installation Replacement structures will often be replaced within a few feet of the original structure to maintain the required distances and line sags between other existing structures. Therefore, options for relocating proposed replacement structures are limited. Pole replacement will also require placement of construction mats in wetlands to provide a safe work pad for the required structure replacement activities. Usually, there are no alternatives that allow for this work to be conducted from nearby upland areas or to install the replacement structures in upland areas. Each structure replacement area should be assessed to determine the required footprint needed for construction mat work pads. Typical installation is as follows: • At each pole location, remove wetland topsoil with an excavator and stockpile. Segregate wetland soils as necessary. • If a borehole is drilled, collect and dispose of drilling spoils in an upland area. • A galvanized steel casing is then driven into place at least 12 inches below the ground surface. The new pole is installed within the casing with a crane. The casing is then backfilled with crushed rock and compacted. • Stockpiled wetland topsoil is placed above the casing to the ground surface. No net fill in wetlands occur, as the original poles are removed. • Following installation of the new structures, the old structures are removed. Each pole is cut with a chainsaw and allowed to fall to the ground, which in wetland areas is protected by construction mats. If the pole is to be bucked into sections, conduct sawing activities in uplands when feasible. Pole butts will remain in place; if removing the pole butt will cause more damage than if left in place. • Remove the pole and all appurtenant accessories (e.g., cross-arms, insulators) and properly dispose off-site. Remove each pole butt by pulling with an excavator positioned on a construction mat. If it is apparent that pole removal will compromise the integrity of the new pole installation, or that removal will result in additional disturbance to wetland areas, cut off the old pole at least 12 inches below ground level and backfill to match adjacent grades. Guy Wire Anchor Installation Guy wire anchors supporting the structures may also require replacing. There are two types of anchors: 1) helical and 2) plate type. Helical anchors are preferred over plate anchor because the installation of the helical anchor results in less disturbance to the wetland. • Load test the existing anchor to determine whether it will support the pole structure. Consult with Eversource Engineering to determine load testing requirements. In the event the existing anchor cannot be re-used, remove it and install a new anchor. • Screw in place a special triple helix (“screw type”) anchor with an anchor installation rig operated from the matting area. Add rod sections as needed until proper holding capacity of the anchor is achieved. Consult with Eversource Engineering to determine anchor installation requirements. o Helical anchors are turned into the ground with only the rods protruding. Disturbance to the wetland from the helical anchor is minimal. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-35 • Plate anchors are used in wetlands when proper holding cannot be achieved with screw anchors. To install a plate anchor, a pit is excavated to a sufficient depth and if necessary, a concrete footing would be installed several feet below surface grade. Consult with Eversource Engineering to determine plate anchor installation requirements. o When excavating to install plate anchors, segregate the top 12 inches of wetland topsoil from the underlying material. When the plate anchor has been set, backfill the excavation with underlying material. Utilize segregated wetland topsoil to restore pre-construction grades. Counterpoise Installation/Grounding To install grounding equipment in wetlands, use hand digging or minimally invasive methods to dig around the structure and restore soil to previous grades. In some cases, grounding rods can be driven directly into the ground with hand tools. Where work is occurring in the vicinity of wetland areas, sedimentation and erosion controls will be used to limit disturbance to wetlands. Underground Facility Repair/Replacement Underground facilities such as cables and conduits may be present beneath wetland areas. In the event underground facilities require repair, BMPs are required for both access and construction. Construction mats are used for access where warranted, and sedimentation and erosion controls are used to isolate the work area. During excavation activities, excavate wetland topsoil and stockpile separately from subsurface soils. Dewatering is often required during excavation and repair activities. An alternative to repairing a subsurface line by excavation is to install a new line via trenching or horizontal directional drilling (HDD). The decision to use one of these alternatives is made on a case by case basis. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting to determine if any permits will be needed. Pole Butt Removal When transmission poles are decommissioned or otherwise taken out of service, in most cases the entire pole shall be removed. Treated wood pole butts shall be removed completely from the ground and properly disposed at an off-site location. Locations where the removal of pole butts may cause significant disturbance to wetlands or other sensitive environmental areas will be considered for exception to this practice on a site-by-site basis. The Transmission Line Construction and Maintenance Manager, in consultation with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting, will be responsible for determining if a pole butt can be removed if located in a sensitive environmental area. All pole butt holes must be backfilled and compacted (every 3 feet) with appropriate fill material. Existing material on-site can be reused if it does not include materials that can rot (e.g., vegetation) and cause settling. Disposal Treated and non-treated wood products owned by the Transmission Group shall be stored in an area(s) designated by the Transmission Line Construction/Contract Field Services Supervisor until collected by an approved disposal vendor. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-36 Concrete Wash Outs Concrete wash outs shall be used for the management of concrete waste. Concrete and concrete wash out water shall not be deposited or discharged directly on the ground, in sensitive environmental areas, or in catch basins or other drainage structures. Where possible, concrete wash outs shall be located away from sensitive environmental areas, including buffer zones. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting to determine concrete wash out locations prior to their use. Following the completion of concrete pouring operations, the wash outs shall be properly disposed of off-site with other construction debris. 3.13 Underground Cable and Gas Piping-Related Work Gas piping-related activities will typically occur within roadways or along roadway shoulders. There may be some instances where wetland permitting is required when wetlands are located adjacent to or in the vicinity of roadways. However, when work is performed within the roadway/shoulder, permitting is typically not required. Verify permitting requirements with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. In all cases, BMPs should be followed to ensure environmental compliance. Typical examples of underground cable and conduits include: High-Pressure, Fluid-Filled Pipe-Type Cable: A high-pressure, fluid-filled (HPFF) pipe-type of underground transmission line, consists of a steel pipe that contains three high-voltage conductors. The fluid also transfers heat away from the conductors. The fluid is usually static and removes heat by conduction. XLPE Cable (cross-linked polyethylene): Hydronic tubing that is manufactured from polyethylene plastic with a three-dimensional molecular bond that is created within the structure of the plastic. The cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) underground transmission line is often called solid dielectic cable. The solid dielectric material replaces the pressurized liquid or gas of the pipe-type cables. XLPE cable has become the national standard for underground electric transmission lines less than 200 kV. Roadways and Shoulders When working in roadways, particularly in residential areas, the following activities should be performed in addition to standard construction BMPs: • Repave disturbed paved areas and return to original elevations on the same day that construction is performed. • Restore all non-paved areas to pre-existing (or improved) conditions. Replace any sod or other plantings in kind or with an acceptable alternative. • Employ dust control as necessary to minimize airborne dust. • Streets should be swept daily or as necessary to remove dirt and debris from resulting from construction from the roadway surface. Dirt and debris swept from the roadway surface should be collected and properly disposed of as construction waste. Under no circumstances should dirt and debris be swept off of the roadway surface to the road shoulder or deposited in any catch basins. • Discharge trench dewatering volumes to an appropriate dewatering structure setup on adjacent undeveloped, unimproved uplands away from wetlands (refer to Appendix A). Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting staff Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-37 to determine appropriate locations for placement of dewatering structures. • Trench dewatering may also be discharged to areas of open trench to allow for infiltration. • For minor volumes or short-term duration dewatering needs, trench dewatering may be pumped to frac tanks for transport off-site and discharge to an appropriate dewatering structure located at a contractor yard or similar location. • Trench dewatering may only be discharged to stormwater catch basins after all necessary federal, state and local permits have been obtained to do so (this typically requires design and implementation of an effective treatment system to remove all potential contaminants, such as suspended solids or other chemical contaminants). Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting if discharge to catch basins is required. Under certain circumstances, gas piping must be installed beneath existing culverts within roadways. Take care to ensure that any saturated material excavated from the trench be properly stored and disposed as to not cause sedimentation issues. Implement dewatering methodologies, as required. There may be cases where a drainage ditch or swale must be crossed to gain construction access from paved roads onto ROWs along the roadway shoulder. Install construction mats, mat bridges, or temporary culverts, as necessary, to facilitate access. Culverts should be for temporary use, sized for peak flow, and removed after construction is complete. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting prior to installation. Bridges and Culverts Attachment of gas piping to bridges or culverts is the environmentally preferable method for crossing a wetland or watercourse. Consult with the appropriate people (engineers, the Department of Transportation (DOT), etc.) to determine if attachment to a bridge or culvert is a technically feasible option at the desired crossing location. Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting should also evaluate the impacts to FEMA flood storage quantities and potential Coast Guard permitting requirements. Ensure that proper erosion and sedimentation controls are in place on either side of the bridge or culvert throughout construction. Rivers and Streams There are two primary approaches for crossing a river or stream with a gas pipeline: direct bury (open trenching) and trenchless methods (e.g., HDD, standard bore/pipe jacking). Direct bury methods involve erecting a coffer dam to isolate the work area and redirecting water flow using gravity or pumping to move water from one side of the work area to the other. Direct bury methods have larger direct environmental impacts than trenchless methods. Typical coffer dam examples are included in Figures A42 and A43 in Appendix A. Trenchless methods use specialized equipment to install piping beneath a waterbody (or a major roadway, railroad, etc.). The most common method used for gas piping is HDD which uses remote controlled, steerable drilling equipment to install pipe along a long arc alignment. The drilling process can be divided into three steps: pilot, reaming, and pullin. The first step is to drill a pilot bore-hole. Next, a larger diameter fly cutter is used to Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-38 enlarge the opening. A specialized bentonite slurry drilling fluid is injected into the borehole to stabilize the surrounding soil and to lubricate and cool the drill bit. For the final step, a barrel reamer is used to further enlarge the bore-hole and to pull the pipe into place. A notable environmental concern with HDD is called “frac-out.” This occurs when drilling fluid breaks through the soil surface and into the waterbody. Regulatory agencies may require a “frac-out plan” which details preventative controls and response measures should frac-out occur. A typical frac out plan is included in Appendix D; however, HDD contractors should be required to provide a detailed frac-out plan specific to the project and their practices. These plans may be subject to environmental regulatory agency review. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting for permit requirements. 3.14 Construction Material along the ROW Once a site is prepared by clearing and/or installing erosion and sediment controls, materials may be stored along the ROW prior to the start of construction. Such materials may include the following: piping, poles, cross-arms, cable, insulators, stone, and other engineered backfill materials. In general, the stockpiling of stone and other unconsolidated material on construction mats should be avoided. If it is determined necessary due to access and work pad constraints, the material should be placed on a geotextile fabric and be properly contained with a sedimentation barrier such as straw wattle or bales. No construction materials should be placed in wetlands or other sensitive resource areas. 3.15 Winter Construction 3.15.1 Snow Management Snow should not be stockpiled or disposed in any waterbody or near water supply sources. These include wetlands, rivers/streams, the ocean, reservoirs, ponds, stormwater catch basins, wellhead protection area, in high or medium yield aquifer, or within 200 feet of a private well. In addition to water quality impacts and flooding, snow disposed in surface water can cause navigational hazards when it freezes into ice blocks. Maintain a minimum buffer of 25 feet between any snow disposal area and the high water mark of any surface water. A silt fence or equivalent barrier should be installed between the snow storage area and the high water mark of rivers, streams, ponds, or the ocean. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting regarding any specific state and local snow management requirements. Avoid disposing of snow on top of storm drain catch basins or in storm water drainage swales or ditches. Snow combined with sand and debris may block a storm drainage system and cause localized flooding. A high volume of sand, sediment, and litter released from melting snow also may be quickly transported through the system into surface water and could also result in fines or a violation. All debris in a snow storage area should be cleared from the site and properly disposed of no later than May 15 of each year. Care shall be taken not to plow road materials away when removing snow. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-39 3.15.2 De-Icing Where permitted, calcium chloride is the preferred de-icing agent when applied according to manufacturer’s guidelines in upland areas. Sand should be used on construction mats through wetland areas. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting on de-icing agents when working in a facility or substation near resource areas. Many municipalities have specific de-icing agent requirements for work within 100 feet of wetlands and other sensitive environmental areas. 3.15.3 Snow and Ice Management on Construction Mats Promptly and properly remove snow from construction mats to avoid ice formation. Remove snow from construction mats before applying sand to avoid forming ice. A round street sweeping brush mounted on the front of a truck may be an effective way to remove snow from construction mats. Propane heaters may also be suitable solutions for snow removal and/or de-icing of construction mats. Sand should be collected from the construction mats and disposed of in an upland area prior to removing construction mats from wetlands. Once construction mats are removed, wetlands shall be inspected for sand buildup that may have fallen through construction mats. Sand deposited in wetlands or other sensitive environmental areas shall be completely removed by the contractor. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting prior to commencing work in wetlands or other sensitive environmental areas. 3.16 Dust Control Dust control measures are used to reduce surface and air movement of dust from exposed soil surfaces during land disturbance, demolition, and construction activities. These practices reduce the amount of dust in the air and decrease the potential for accidents, respiratory problems, and airborne sedimentation. Construction activities should be scheduled appropriately to minimize the amount of site surface exposed at one time in order to reduce the amount of areas requiring dust control. Use dust control measures on disturbed soil surfaces and exposed soil surfaces, especially during hot or dry weather periods and in areas with excessively well-drained soils. Repetitive treatments should be used as needed, or required by permits, and until the surface is permanently stabilized. Type Description/Use Vegetative Cover • Most effective and practical method. • Use in disturbed areas not subject to traffic. • Follow seeding requirements as directed by local guidelines or permit requirements. Stone • Cover soil surface with crushed stone/coarse gravel. Water/Sprinkling • Sprinkle exposed soils until wet (Water trucks may be used depending on size of the site). • Do not excessively wet the soil as this causes run-off and also wastes water. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-40 Barriers • Board fences, wind fences, and sediment fences control air currents and blowing soil. • Wind barriers protect soil downgradient for a distance of ten times the barrier height. • Perennial grasses and stands of existing trees also serve as wind barriers, stressing the importance of planning work phasing properly and minimizing the amount of exposed soil. Plastic Covering • Cover soil piles with sheets of plastic/tarp to minimize dust. Calcium Chloride • Loose, dry granules of calcium chloride may be applied with a mechanical spreader. • Apply at a rate that keeps the surface moist but not high enough to cause water pollution or plant damage. This method should be done under consultation with an expert in order to maintain this balance and to determine if the site is applicable. 3.16.1 Soil Stockpile Management Some projects may involve excavation and stockpiling of soil. Stockpiles should be located outside sensitive areas to the extent practicable and managed to prevent erosion and sedimentation of adjacent areas. Typical measures include the installation of protective measures (e.g., siltation fence and/or straw bales) around the perimeter of the stockpile. The stockpile must be seeded if left in place for more than 30 days. No snow or soil piles, construction materials, or equipment should be stored in the immediate vicinity at the top of a terrace escarpment slope. 3.16.2 Stockpiles on Construction Mats When soil (or gravel) stockpiles must be staged on construction mat work pads in wetlands, stockpiles should be placed atop areas of matting underlain with non-woven geotextile (either directly atop the mats or between layers of matting) to minimize the potential for material to filter through gaps in matting and deposit in wetlands. Use of construction mat stringers as physical barriers at the edge of the work pad should also be considered. These barriers are recommended to minimize the potential for stockpiled material to get pushed off the work pad into wetlands. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting for site-specific guidance. 3.16.3 Regulated Soils Management When polluted/contaminated soil is encountered, it must be handled in accordance with the appropriate regulatory requirements. In addition to the measures discussed above, contaminated soils should be stockpiled on and covered by polyethylene sheeting. Sheeting used to cover the stockpile should be weighted down to prevent the wind migration of contaminated dust. For soil stockpiles in substations, contact Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. If soil/water must be stored and/or disposed, comply with existing soil and groundwater management guidelines. Coordinate with the Environmental Affairs Department (EAD) to ensure appropriate procedures are followed. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-41 3.16.4 Best Management Practices – Soil Stockpile Management The following BMP is applicable to soil stockpile management and is described at: Soil Stockpile Management (see Figure A19 in Appendix A) 3.17 Anti-Idling Laws Connecticut and Massachusetts have promulgated anti-idling laws for the purpose of improving air quality by reducing unnecessary air pollution from idling vehicles. State Idling Time Limit (in minutes) Connecticut 3 Massachusetts 5 Details of these laws and the statutory exceptions to the limits noted above are presented in the following sections. 3.17.1 Connecticut The Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies (RCSA) section 22a-174-18(b)(3) states: a mobile source shall not operate for more than three (3) consecutive minutes when such mobile source is not in motion except if the vehicle is operating for one of the conditions exempted in the regulation. These exemptions for mobile sources not in motion include: • When a mobile source is forced to remain motionless because of traffic conditions or mechanical difficulties over which the operator has no control. • When it is necessary to operate defrosting, heating or cooling equipment to ensure the safety or health of the driver or passengers. • When it is necessary to operate auxiliary equipment that is located in or on the mobile source to accomplish the intended use of the mobile source. • To bring the mobile source to the manufacturer’s recommended operating temperature. • When the outdoor temperature is below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. • When the mobile source is undergoing maintenance that requires such mobile source be operated for more than three (3) consecutive minutes. • When a mobile source is in queue to be inspected by U.S. military personnel prior to gaining access to a U.S. military installation. 3.17.2 Massachusetts The Massachusetts Anti-Idling Law (M.G.L. Chapter 90, Section 16A and its implementing regulations set forth at 310 CMR 7.11 applies to all vehicles and limits unnecessary engine idling of stopped vehicles to five (5) minutes. This law shall not apply to: • Vehicles being serviced, provided that operation of the engine is essential to the proper repair thereof. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-42 • Vehicles engaged in the delivery or acceptance of goods, wares, or merchandise for which engine assisted power is necessary and substitute alternate means cannot be made available. • Vehicles engaged in an operation for which the engine power is necessary for an associate power need other than movement, and substitute alternate power means cannot be made available provided that such operation does not cause or contribute to a condition of air pollution. SECTION 4 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 4-1 Section 4 Inspection and Maintenance A pre-construction meeting will be held to discuss how often and who is responsible for monitoring erosion and sediment controls to document their condition and recommend maintenance or other corrective actions, as necessary. All BMPs will be inspected at least once per week during active construction and until disturbed areas have stabilized following post-construction site restoration. Construction sites will be inspected after major storm events (rainfall events greater than 0.25 inches (MA) or 0.50 inches (CT)), or as directed by Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. 4.1 During Construction Construction sites, construction access roads, and the associated erosion and sediment controls should be inspected by the person(s) designated at the pre-construction meeting, as required by permit conditions. Any damage observed must be repaired in a timely manner, at least within 48 hours of observation. Repairs may include re-grading and/or top dressing the surface with additional aggregate to eliminate ruts as well as those repairs required by each erosion and sediment measure used. All inspections will be documented in a written report submitted to Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting and saved to the project folder. Copies will be distributed to the relevant contractors if/as directed by Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. 4.1.1 Maintenance of Erosion and Sedimentation Controls Spare erosion and sedimentation control materials such as straw wattles, straw bales and silt fencing should be kept on site or be readily available so they may be replaced if they become non-functional due to deterioration or damaged during a storm, extreme water or wind, or other unexpected events. 4.1.2 Rapid Wetland Response Restoration In the event of unintended discharges of sediment into wetlands, Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting will direct the contractor(s) to quickly control, contain and remove sediment using non- or marginally invasive methods. Responding quickly to unintended discharges minimizes the difficulty and cost of restoration if the sediment is left in place for an extended period of time. Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting will direct sediment removal activities at the time of discharge and will notify the appropriate regulators of the discharge and the recommended corrective actions. 4.1.3 Vehicle Storage and Refueling All storage and refueling of vehicles and other equipment must occur outside of and as far away as practical from sensitive environmental areas such as wetlands, unless specifically authorized by Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting and an alternate protocol is developed and approved internally. The recommended minimum distance from wetlands for storage of fuel and refueling is 100 feet. Additionally, equipment should be checked regularly for evidence of leaks. Construction material storage should also be located at least 100 feet from wetlands. Section 4 Inspection and Maintenance Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 4-2 Storage of larger, less mobile equipment such as drill rigs or large cranes, may be permitting within wetlands subject to prior approval from Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Secondary containment shall be in place at each piece of equipment during non-working hours. Refueling of larger, less mobile equipment such as drill rigs or large cranes, may be allowed within wetlands only with prior approval from Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting and if specified precautions and protocols are followed. A proper location for refueling should be identified and designated before site work begins. At a minimum, if refueling must be conducted in wetlands, the contractor shall provide adequate secondary containment during refueling operations and shall maintain a spill kit on-site at all times. 4.1.4 Spills Spill kits consist of emergency cleanup and spill containment materials that can be used in the event of a fuel or other chemical spill. Spill kits must be kept on site and accessible at all times in case of an emergency spill. Such kits should generally contain multiple absorbent socks and/or pillows and wipes and temporary disposal bags. Follow the applicable Eversource Contractor Work Rules. 4.1.5 Post-Construction Post-construction inspections of restored areas will be conducted at regular intervals throughout the growing season, as required by any applicable permits, and/or after major storm events. Sites should be inspected for success or failure of revegetation, invasive species colonization, and erosion and sedimentation. In the event additional measures are required to achieve site restoration and stabilization, corrective actions shall be identified and implemented. All information collected during inspections, regular maintenance, and repair procedures should be documented in project folders. In addition, photographic or diagrammatic logs may be kept to record certain events and for documentation of project progress and any noteworthy observations. The construction work is not complete until all areas are restored. SECTION 5 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 5-1 Section 5 Rehabilitation and Restoration 5.1 Restoration All areas disturbed by construction, repair, and maintenance activities shall be substantially restored to pre-construction conditions. Please refer to Appendix A for photos and typical details for loaming, seeding, and mulching. Prompt restoration minimizes the extent and duration of soil exposure and protects disturbed areas from erosion due to stormwater runoff, ice, wind and gravity. Stabilization should be conducted as soon as practicable. Where appropriate, it is preferable to allow sensitive environmental areas, such as wetlands and rare species habitat to revegetate naturally. Consult Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting for project-specific restoration requirements. 5.1.1 Seed Mixes Several different seed mixes are available for upland and wetland restoration. State- specific comprehensive summaries of seed mixes for both temporary and permanent seeding of disturbed sites can be found within the following documents: • Massachusetts: Massachusetts Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Urban and Suburban Areas, page 157: https://www.mass.gov/doc/completeerosion-and-sedimentation-control-guidelines-a-guide-for-planners-designersand/download • Connecticut: 2002 Connecticut Guidelines for Soil and Erosion Sediment Control, page 5-3-8: https://portal.ct.gov/DEEP/Water/Soil-Erosion-and-Sediment-ControlGuidelines/Guidelines-for-Soil-Erosion-and-Sediment-Contro l Upland Seed Mix: If significant grading or upland alteration has occurred, annual rye grass seed shall be placed for temporary stabilization following manufacturer’s recommendations after re-grading activities. Wetland Seed Mix: If significant grading or wetland alteration has occurred, a wetland seed mix shall be placed following manufacture’s recommendations after re-grading activities. 5.1.2 Upland The following restoration techniques apply to restoration projects in upland areas. • Soil excavated during construction and not used as backfill must be evenly spread across disturbed areas to restore grades. Topsoil shall be stripped and separated to the extent practicable for re-use. Permanent soil protection shall be provided for all areas disturbed by construction activities. All areas will be seeded either by hydroseeding or broadcast seeding. Interim stabilization measures are required if areas cannot be seeded due to the time of year. Interim measures may include the application of mulch. • Topsoil removed during construction activities will be replaced, seeded, and mulched. • All areas that are broadcast seeded shall be treated with a layer of mulch, such as Section 5 Rehabilitation and Restoration Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 5-2 straw, up to one (1) inch thick to enhance moisture retention, dissipate disturbance from precipitation, and detract birds foraging on broadcast seed. • Rehabilitation of access routes and other areas must be performed as soon as practicable after construction is completed, including reestablishment of water bars or other BMPs to control erosion of the access road, and the removal and restoration of temporary wetland or waterway crossings. o Temporary breaks in construction activities may warrant seeding and mulching of disturbed areas as interim erosion control measures. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting to determine project-specific requirements. • Erosion control measures shall remain in place until soils are adequately stabilized, as confirmed by Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Once soils are stable, erosion controls – especially silt fence, which presents an obstacle to movement of small animals, shall be removed and properly disposed off-site. Stakes should be removed from straw bales and spread as mulch to remove barriers to wildlife movement. • The use of hay and/or hay products is strictly prohibited to prevent the spread of invasive plant species seed stock. • If a grading operation at a site is suspended for a period of more than twenty-nine (29) consecutive days, the disturbed area shall be stabilized by seeding, mulching, and/or other appropriate means within the first seven (7) days of the suspension of grading. • Within seven (7) days after a final grade is established in any grading operation, the disturbed area shall be stabilized by seeding, loaming, and/or other appropriate means. 5.1.3 Wetland/Watercourses Re-grading of Ruts: Upon removal of construction mats, or other BMPs, the wetland/watercourse should be inspected for rutting or disturbance from eroded upland soils. Any rutting should be re-graded to pre-existing contours and upland soils removed from wetland areas while taking care not to compact soils. The following restoration techniques apply to restoration projects in wetlands: Maintenance, Repair, and Emergency Projects (When No Permit is Required) • Remove mats by “backing” out of the site and removing mats one at a time. Regrade soils to pre-existing contours while taking care not to compact soils. • Soils excavated from wetland areas shall be segregated and stockpiled separately (i.e., topsoil/muck apart from mineral subsoil) in a dry/upland area at least 100 feet from wetland boundaries unless other provisions have been made to facilitate restoration activities. • Excavated wetland soils that have been stockpiled during underground utility installations within wetlands shall be replaced in the same order (i.e., mineral subsoil beneath organic topsoil/muck) to the extent practicable and restored to pre-disturbance grades. o Grading activities should include the elimination of ruts within the Section 5 Rehabilitation and Restoration Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 5-3 area to be restored. • If replacement of soil associated with temporary wetland or watercourse crossings for access roads is necessary, disturbed areas must be restored to pre-disturbance grades, either seeded and mulched, or allowed to revegetate from the natural seed bank. • Disturbed wetland areas shall generally be allowed to revegetate from the natural seed bank. Measures to discourage the establishment or spread of plant species identified as non-native, invasive species by federal or state agencies shall be utilized. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting to evaluate means and methods of wetland vegetate re-establishment. • Any restoration plantings or seed mixes used in restoration shall consist of species native to the project area and, if feasible, from local nursery stock. • Any stream banks and beds damaged shall be restored through use of 100 percent natural fiber geotextile erosion control blankets and/or coir logs. The use of erosion control products containing plastic and/or nylon is strictly prohibited. • All seeded areas shall be treated with a layer of mulch (i.e., straw; the use of hay and/or hay products is strictly prohibited) up to one (1) inch thick to enhance moisture retention, dissipate disturbance from precipitation, and detract songbirds foraging on broadcast seed. 5.2 Private Property 5.2.1 Improved Areas If access is over an off-ROW property, then it is the responsibility of a construction representative to determine if legal access rights are available to cross the property. Access to and along the ROW over private property must be improved to the extent necessary to ensure suitable passage for construction equipment, provide erosion control, and maintain proper drainage. Upon completion of construction activities, altered yards, lawns, agricultural areas, and other improved areas must be restored to a condition equal to or better than before their use for the construction project. 5.2.2 Overall Work Site Construction personnel should remove all work-related trailers, buildings, rubbish, waste soil, temporary structures, and unused materials upon satisfactory completion of work. All areas should be left clean, without any litter or equipment (e.g., wire, pole butts, anchors, insulators, cross-arms, cardboard, coffee cups, water bottles) and stabilized to match preconstruction conditions to the maximum extent practicable. Debris and spent equipment should be returned to the operating facility or contractor staging area for disposal or recycling as appropriate. 5.2.3 Material Storage/Staging and Parking Areas Upon completion of all work, all material storage yards, staging areas, and parking areas shall be completely cleared of all waste and debris. Unless otherwise directed or unless other arrangements have been made with an off-ROW or off-property owner, material storage yards and staging areas shall be returned to the condition that existed prior to the installation of the material storage yard or staging area. Regardless of arrangements Section 5 Rehabilitation and Restoration Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 5-4 made with a landowner, all areas shall be restored to their pre-construction condition or better. Any temporary structures erected by the contractor, including fences, shall be removed by the contractor and the area restored as near as possible to its original condition, including seeding and mulching as needed. 5.3 Work in Agricultural Lands Transmission lines often cross agricultural lands. In some instances, this may affect ongoing agricultural activities in and around the ROWs. If a construction or maintenance project occurs within agricultural lands, Eversource will work closely with landowners, licensees and stakeholders to minimize agricultural impacts. Whenever practical, Eversource will make reasonable efforts to coordinate the schedule of construction-related activities around the growing and harvest seasons to minimize the impacts on agricultural operations. When this is not practical, Eversource will pursue reasonable measures to mitigate any impacts. Eversource recognizes that disturbed soils, or soils compacted by heavy construction equipment, may affect the soil’s ability to support certain agricultural activities. Eversource will take reasonable steps to avoid or minimize soil compaction and will restore soils that are compacted by construction equipment. Typical measures to avoid or minimize soil compaction include the use of construction mats for access to, and work pads at, structures within the project scope. Eversource will also work with affected landowners to determine the appropriate method for restoring the soils and is open to discussing and implementing the landowners’ alternative restoration suggestions. After the transmission improvement is complete, Eversource will remove all construction-related equipment and debris from the ROW.

The following list of laws and regulations are most likely to apply to electrical utility projects in the State. • Connecticut Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Act (C.G.S. §§ 22a-36 through 22a45a) • Municipal inland wetland and zoning regulations • Connecticut General Permit for Water Resource Construction Activities (C.G.S. §§ 22a-6, 22a-45a and 22a-378a) • Connecticut Environmental Policy Act (C.G.S. §§ 22a-1a through 22a-1h) • Connecticut Coastal Management Act (C.G.S. §§ 22a-359 through 22a-363; 22a-28 through 22a-35; 22a-90 through 22a-112; 33 U.S.C. § 1314) • Connecticut Water Diversion Policy Act (C.G.S. §§ 22a-365 through 22a-379) • Connecticut Endangered Species Act (C.G.S. §§ 26-303 through 26-315) • Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (C.G.S. §§ 22a-426; 33 U.S.C. § 403) • Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1251) • Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1344) B.2 Geographic Areas Subject to Jurisdiction The following areas are subject to regulatory jurisdiction by at least one of the regulatory programs discussed in this section: It is important to note that more than one jurisdictional resource type may be present at any given location. • Inland wetlands, watercourses (rivers, streams, lakes, ponds), and floodplains • Areas subject to municipal wetlands bylaws or ordinances (these vary by town) • Coastal Resource Areas (beaches, dunes, bluffs, escarpments, coastal hazard areas, coastal waters, nearshore waters, offshore waters, estuarine embayments, developed shorefront, intertidal flats, islands, rocky shorefronts, shellfish concentration areas, shorelands, and tidal wetlands) • Navigable waters • Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) • Rare species habitat as mapped by the Connecticut Natural Diversity Database (NDDB) • Historic/cultural Resources including archaeological resources and above-ground historic resources Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-2 B.3 Applicable Regulatory Agencies Activities subject to jurisdiction under the above-referenced programs will generally be subject to review by one or more regulatory agencies (refer to list below). Most stream and wetland crossings will require notification or consultation with municipal Inland Wetland and Watercourses Agencies, and may require permitting with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) under Sections 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act. Coordination with CT DEEP may also be required for projects located within areas mapped by the Connecticut Natural Diversity Database. • Municipal Conservation Commissions • Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) Land and Water Resources Division (LWRD) • CT DEEP Wildlife Division • CT DEEP Office of Environmental Review • United States Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) New England District • CT State Historic Preservation Office (CT SHPO) The State of Connecticut and the Federal Government define wetlands differently. According to the Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Act, inland wetlands are defined as “land, including submerged land, not regulated pursuant to Sections 22a-28 through 22a35 of the Connecticut General Statutes, as amended, which consists of any of the soil types designated as poorly drained, very poorly drained, alluvial, and floodplain by the National Cooperative Soil Survey, as it may be amended from time to time by the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resource Conservation Service. Such areas may include filled, graded, or excavated sites which possess an aquic (saturated) soil moisture regime as defined by the National Cooperative Soil Survey.” State wetland identification is based solely on the presence of these soil types. “Watercourses" means rivers, streams, brooks, waterways, lakes, ponds, marshes, swamps, bogs and all other bodies of water, natural or artificial, vernal or intermittent, public or private, which are contained within, flow through or border upon this state or any portion thereof. Intermittent watercourses shall be delineated by a defined permanent channel and bank and the occurrence of two or more of the following characteristics: (A) Evidence of scour or deposits of recent alluvium or detritus, (B) the presence of standing or flowing water for a duration longer than a particular storm incident, and (C) the presence of hydrophytic vegetation. The Federal Government defines wetlands as “Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions.” Federal wetland identification is based on a threeparameter approach, where a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology is used to make a wetland determination. Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-3 B.4 Maintenance, Repair, or Emergency Projects Most regulatory programs contain provisions that allow normal maintenance of existing structures and/or response to emergency situations that require immediate attention. Prior to commencement of new construction, all jurisdictional wetland areas within the work corridor should be delineated by a qualified wetland and soil scientist. The specialist shall delineate areas in accordance with the General Statutes of Connecticut (revised January 1, 2007) as set forth at Title 22a Chapter 440 “Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Act”, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual, and any local inland wetland regulations, ordinances or bylaws that may exist. Refer to each set of regulations regarding applicable wetland definitions. Wetland areas shall be clearly demarcated using appropriate flagging tape or similar means. It is important to note that certain jurisdictional wetland areas in Connecticut can actually occur in uplands, such as floodplains. In addition, Upland Review Areas generally apply to work activities and vary in each community. This makes consultation with a wetland specialist particularly important. B.4.1 Maintain, Repair and/or Replace Exemptions or considerations for maintenance, repair, and/or replacement of existing electrical utility structures exist in some environmental regulations, but not all. The exemptions are limited to work related to existing and lawfully located structures where no change in the original structure or footprint is proposed. It is not for the selected contractor of a particular project to make a determination as to whether an activity is exempt. This determination will be made prior to work by the Eversource project manager, in consultation with Eversource environmental staff. These exemptions/considerations are afforded at: • CT Inland Wetlands & Watercourses Act (RCSA § 22a-39-4) • CT General Permit (Section 3) • CT Coastal Management Act (RCSA § 22a-363b) • CT GP [33 CFR 323.4(a)(2)] • CT Water Diversion Policy Act (RCSA § 22a-377(b)1) B.4.2 Emergency Projects Emergency provisions are generally afforded to activities that need to abate conditions that pose a threat to public health or safety. These provisions generally do not allow work beyond what is necessary to abate the emergency condition and will generally require an after-the-fact permit. It is not for the selected contractor of a particular project to make a determination as to whether an activity is an emergency. This determination will be made prior to work by the Eversource project manager, in consultation with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. It is important to note that invocation of an emergency provision does not release the project proponent from reporting requirements. Emergency provisions are afforded at: • CEPA (RCSA § 22a-1a-3) • CT Coastal Management Act (RCSA § 22a-29) • CT GP [33 CFR Part 323.4(a)(2)] Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-4 B.5 Municipal Permitting Work within wetlands, watercourses and designated Upland Review Areas typically requires notification to municipal staff, (Department of Public Works and/or the Inland Wetland and Watercourse Agency staff). In October 1996 the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control opened a docket (Docket Number 95-08-34) to conduct a generic investigation on the allocation of siting jurisdiction over utility plant facilities. This included an investigation as to whether local authorities (including local Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Agencies) have jurisdiction over public utility projects. The investigation resulted in several orders which provide guidance on how public utility companies should coordinate with municipalities on the construction of new facilities, upgrades, significant maintenance activities, and routine maintenance activities. • For the construction of new facilities, alterations to existing facilities (including upgrades) or significant maintenance involving substantial disturbance of soil, water or vegetation which would regularly fall under the review requirements of certain local authorities (ie. Planning and Zoning Authority; Inland Wetlands Commission; Public Works Department; Historic District Commission), the utility shall at least notify and consult with such local authority, or its designated agent or staff, toward the development of mutually agreeable schedules and procedures for the proposed activity. • For routine maintenance activities or alterations to existing facilities (including upgrades) involving minor disturbance of soil, water or vegetation which would regularly fall under the review and approval requirements of certain local authorities, the utility shall make local authorities or their designated agent or staff aware of such ongoing activities. B.6 CT Department of Energy & Environmental Protection If the project requires formal permitting with the ACOE (Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) or Individual Permit), copies of the application should be forwarded to CT DEEP for review under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The CT DEEP requires that a GP Addendum form be completed and submitted along with the ACOE application. If the project qualifies for Self-Verification Notification (SVNF) under the ACOE GP, the project also is granted authorization (Water Quality Certification, WQC) with no formal application under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, provided the project meets the additional WQC general conditions. The general conditions commonly applicable to utility projects include: • Prohibiting dumping of any quantity of oil, chemicals, or other deleterious material on the ground; • Immediately informing the CT DEEP Oil and Chemical Spill Response Division at (860) 424-3338 (24 hours) of any adverse impact or hazard to the environment including any discharge or spillage of oil or chemical liquids or solids; • Separating staging areas at the site from the regulated areas by silt fences or stray/hay bales at all times; • Prohibiting storage of any fuel and refueling of equipment within 25 feet from any wetland or watercourse; • Following the document “Connecticut Guidelines for Soil and Erosion Control,” inspecting employed controls at least once per week, after each rainfall, and at least daily during prolonged rainfall, and correcting any deficiencies within 48 hours of being found. Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-5 • Prohibiting the storage of any materials at the site which are buoyant, hazardous, flammable, explosive, soluble, expansive, radioactive, or which could in the event of a flood be injurious to human, animal or plant life, below the elevation of the • 500 year flood. Any other material or equipment stored at the site below this elevation must be firmly anchored, restrained or enclosed to prevent flotation. The quantity of fuel for equipment at the site stored below such elevation shall not exceed the quantity of fuel that is expected to be used by such equipment in one day. • Immediately informing CT DEEP at (860) 424-3019 and the ACOE at (617) 647- 8674 of the occurrence of pollution or other environmental damage in violation of the WQC, and within 48 hours support a written report including information specified in the general conditions. If the project falls within areas mapped by the Connecticut Natural Diversity Database, or is less than 0.50 miles upstream or downstream of a mapped area, a data request and possible coordination will be required with the Natural Diversity Database. If a project is located within tidal, coastal or navigable waters of the state or in tidal wetlands, permitting may be required with the CT DEEP LWRD. For the routine maintenance of previously permitted structures or structures that were in place prior to June 24, 1939, no permitting is required. For significant maintenance of previously permitted structures or structures that were in place prior to June 24, 1939, a Certificate of Permission is required. For new projects a Structures, Dredging and Fill Permit and/or a Tidal Wetlands Permit may be required. The CT DEEP LWRD should be consulted prior to preparing permits to conduct a pre-application meeting and determine the appropriate permitting route. B.7 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Work within wetlands and waters of the United States is subject to jurisdiction under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, which is administered by the ACOE. Work within navigable waters is also administered by the ACOE under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. The ACOE has issued Department of the Army General Permits for the State of Connecticut and Land Located within the Boundaries of an Indian Reservation (CT GPs) which establishes categories for projects based on their nature of impacts. The current permit was issued on December 15, 2021, and expires on December 15, 2026. Applications are not required for Self-Verification (SV) projects, but submittal of a SelfVerification Notification Form (SVNF) before the work occurs and submittal of a Compliance Certification Form within one month after the work is completed is required. The SVNF and Compliance Certification Form entail self-certification by applicants that their project complies with the terms and conditions of SV under the CT GPs. PreConstruction Notification (PCN) projects require the submittal of an application to the ACOE, followed by a screening of the application by the ACOE, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and CT DEEP, and consultation with the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism and Tribal Historic Preservation Officers (THPOs). PCN projects may not proceed until written approval from the ACOE is received. Written approval is generally provided within 45 days of the multi-agency screening. After written approval is received, a Work-Start Notification Form must be submitted before the work occurs, and a Compliance Certification Form must be submitted within one month after the work is completed. Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-6 For work proposed within a FEMA floodway or floodplain, the ACOE recommends that the applicant apply for and receive a Flood Management Certification (if required), prior to applying to the ACOE. Additionally, applications for PCN inland projects that propose fill in ACOE jurisdiction must include an Invasive Species Control Plan (ISCP), unless otherwise directed by the ACOE. An Individual Permit (IP) requires a formal permit application to be submitted to the ACOE. The application is reviewed in detail by both state and federal agencies, and a Public Notice is released for public comment. Projects which trigger an IP generally result in significant impacts to wetlands and/or watercourses. Stream and wetland crossings are only subject to jurisdiction under the ACOE if there is a discharge of dredge or fill material into wetlands or waters of the United States. Equipment access through a stream or wetland with no structural BMP is not regulated by the ACOE if there is no discharge of dredge or fill material (note that equipment rutting as a result of not using an appropriate BMP can be considered a “discharge of dredge material”). Similarly, the use of a timber or rail car bridge that extends from bank to bank with no stream impacts is not regulated by the ACOE. Additionally, the use of timber mats and stone is considered “fill material” by the ACOE, and must be calculated to determine overall impacts. Temporary mats are not counted towards the 1-acre PCN threshold if they are adequately cleaned after previous use, removed immediately after completion of construction and disposed of at an upland site. Maintenance, including emergency reconstruction of currently serviceable structures, is exempt from ACOE jurisdiction and does not require formal permitting. Maintenance does not include any modification that changes the character, scope, or size of the original fill design. Emergency reconstruction must occur within a reasonable period of time after damage occurs to qualify for this exemption. Stream and wetland crossings that involve the discharge of dredge and fill material may be conducted under SV if the work complies with the general conditions and SV criteria of the CT GPs. The following are SV criteria that are commonly applicable to stream and wetland crossings in utility rights of way. See Section 1.8 for additional criteria for culvert crossings: • The work results in less than 5,000 square feet of impacts to wetlands or Waters of the United States. Replacement of utility line projects with impacts solely within wetlands greater than 5,000 square feet may be eligible for SV Authorization after consultation with the ACOE about the specific project; • Temporary fill, with the exceptions of swamp and timber mats, discharged to wetlands shall be placed on geotextile fabric laid on the pre-construction wetland grade. Unconfined temporary fill discharged into flowing water (rivers and streams) shall consist only of clean stone. All temporary fill shall be removed as soon as it is no longer needed, and disposed of at an appropriate upland site. • Any unconfined in-stream work, including construction, installation or removal of sheet pile cofferdam structures, is conducted during the low-flow period between July 1 and September 30. However, installation of coffer dams, other than sheet pile cofferdams, is not restricted to the low-flow period and must be installed between July 1 and March 31 and must not encroach > 25% of the stream width measured from OHW during the prohibited work window; • No work will occur in the main stem or tributary streams of the Connecticut River watershed that are being managed for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). (Work of this Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-7 nature requires screening for potential impacts to designated Essential Fish Habitat.); • The work does not result in direct or secondary impacts to Special Wetlands, Threatened, Endangered or Special Concern Species, or Significant Natural Communities identified by the Connecticut Natural Diversity Database. Work within 750 feet of vernal pools shall be minimized; • The project does not require an ACOE permit with associated construction activities within 100 feet of Special Wetlands; • The project does not result in fill placed within a FEMA established floodway, unless the applicant has a State of Connecticut Flood Management Certification pursuant to Section 25-68d of the Connecticut General Statutes; • The project does not result in fill placed within a FEMA established floodplain that would adversely affect the hydraulic characteristics of the floodplain; • The project does not entail stormwater detention or retention in inland waters or wetlands; • The project is not located in a segment of a National Wild and Scenic River System (includes rivers officially designated by Congress as active study status rivers for possible inclusion) or within 0.25 miles upstream or downstream of the main stem or tributaries to such a system; • The project has no potential for an effect on a historic property which is listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places; • The project does not impinge upon the value of any National Wildlife Refuge, National Forest, or any other area administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service or National Park Service; • Section 106 needs to be taken into account for all work that requires federal permitting – including SV; • The project does not use slip lining, plastic pipes, or High Density Polyethylene Pipes (HDPP). • Appropriate BMPs are employed in regard to heavy equipment in wetlands (General Condition 16) and sedimentation and erosion controls (General Condition 20). • Disturbed inland wetland areas are restored in accordance with General Condition 18. Stream and wetland crossings that involve the discharge of dredge and fill material may be conducted under PCN if the work complies with the general conditions and PCN criteria of the CT GPs. The following are PCN criteria that are commonly applicable to stream and wetland crossings in utility ROWs. See Section 1.8 for additional criteria for culvert crossings: • The work results in less than one acre of impacts to wetlands or Waters of the United States; • The project does not result in fill placed within a FEMA established floodplain that would adversely affect the hydraulic characteristics of the floodplain; • The project does not entail stormwater detention or retention in inland waters or wetlands. • Temporary fill, with the exceptions of swamp and timber mats, discharged to Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-8 wetlands shall be placed on geotextile fabric laid on the pre-construction wetland grade. Unconfined temporary fill discharged into flowing water (rivers and streams) shall consist only of clean stone. All temporary fill shall be removed as soon as it is no longer needed, and disposed of at an appropriate upland site. • Appropriate BMPs are employed in regard to heavy equipment in wetlands (General Condition 16) and sedimentation and erosion controls (General Condition 20). • Disturbed inland wetland areas are restored in accordance with General Condition 18. Stream and wetland crossings that cannot meet SV or PCN criteria may require review under an IP. The ACOE should be consulted before assuming an IP will be required, as exceptions can be made under certain circumstances. GP1.

Coordination with CT DEEP may also be required for projects located within areas mapped by the Connecticut Natural Diversity Database. For work within tidal, coastal or navigable waters or in tidal wetlands, permitting will be required with the CT DEEP LWRD. B.8.1 Municipal Permitting See Section 1.5 for general local permitting guidance. • For the installation of new culverts and the replacement of culverts that involve substantial disturbance of soil, water or vegetation which would regularly fall under the review and approval requirements of certain local authorities (i.e., Planning and Zoning Authority; Inland Wetlands Commission; Public Works Department; Historic District Commission), the utility shall at least notify and consult with such local authority, or its designated agent or staff, toward the development of mutually agreeable schedules and procedures for the proposed activity. • For the replacement of culverts involving only minor disturbance of soil, water or vegetation which would regularly fall under the review and approval requirements of certain local authorities, the utility shall make local authorities or their designated agent or staff aware of such ongoing activities. B.8.2 CT Department of Energy & Environmental Protection If the project requires formal permitting with the ACOE, copies of the application should be forwarded to CT DEEP for review under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. CT DEEP requires that a PGP Addendum form be completed and submitted along with the ACOE application. If a culvert project falls within areas mapped by the Connecticut Natural Diversity Database or falls within 0.50 miles upstream or downstream of a mapped area, a data request and possible coordination will be required with the Natural Diversity Database. If a culvert project is located within tidal, coastal or navigable waters of the state or in tidal wetlands, permitting will be required with the CT DEEP LWRD. For new projects a Structures, Dredging and Fill Permit and/or a Tidal Wetlands Permit will be required. For replacement structures which were previously permitted, or which were in place prior to June 24, 1939, a Certificate of Permission may only be required, which entails a shorter permitting process. B.8.3 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers See Section 1.7 for general ACOE permitting requirements. Open bottom arches, bridge spans or embedded culverts are preferred over traditional culverts and are required for SV projects. However, where site constraints make these approaches impractical, the ACOE should be consulted. New bridge or open-bottom structure crossings may be conducted under SV or PCN if the following criteria are met in addition to meeting any applicable general criteria listed in section 1.7 of this manual: • The work spans at least 1.2 times the watercourse bank full width; Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-10 • The structure has an openness ratio equal to or greater than 0.25 meters; • The structure allows for continuous flow of the 50-year frequency storm flows. New culvert installations may be conducted under SV if the work complies with the general conditions and SV criteria of the CT GPs. The following are SV criteria that are commonly applicable to new culvert installations in utility right of ways: • Work is conducted in accordance with the design requirements listed in Section 3.1.3 of the BMP Manual; Plastic and High Density Polyethylene Pipes (HDPE) are not used; • The work results in less than 5,000 square feet of impacts to wetlands or Waters of the United States; • Any unconfined in-stream work, including construction, installation or removal of sheet pile coffer dam structures, is conducted during the low-flow period between July 1 and September 30, except in instances where a specific written exception has been issued by the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection. However, installation of coffer dams, other than sheet pile coffer dams, is not restricted to the low-flow period; • No open trench excavation is conducted within flowing waters. Work within flowing waters can be avoided by using temporary flume pipes, culverts, coffer dams, etc. to isolate work areas and maintain normal flows; • The tributary watershed to the culvert does not exceed 1.0 square mile (640 acres); • The culvert gradient (slope) is not steeper than the streambed gradient immediately upstream or downstream of the culvert; • For a single box or pipe arch culvert crossing, the inverts are set not less than 12 inches below the streambed elevation; • For a multiple box or pipe arch culvert crossing, the inverts of one of the boxes or pipe arch culverts are set not less than 12 inches below the elevation of the streambed; • For a pipe culvert crossing, the inverts are set such that not less than 25% of the pipe diameter or 12 inches, whichever is less, is set below the streambed elevation; • The culvert is backfilled with natural substrate material matching upstream and downstream streambed substrate; • The structure does not otherwise impede the passage of fish and other aquatic organisms; • The structure allows for continuous flow of the 50-year frequency storm flows; • The work does not result in direct or secondary impacts to Special Wetlands, Threatened, Endangered or Special Concern Species, or Significant Natural Communities identified by the Connecticut Natural Diversity Database. Work within 750 feet of vernal pools shall be minimized; • The project does not require an ACOE permit with associated construction activities within 100 feet of Special Wetlands; • The project does not result in fill placed within a FEMA established floodway, unless the applicant has a State of Connecticut Flood Management Certification pursuant to section 25-68d of the Connecticut General Statutes; Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-11 • The project does not result in fill placed within a FEMA established floodplain that would adversely affect the hydraulic characteristics of the floodplain; • The project does not entail stormwater detention or retention in inland waters or wetlands; • The project is not located in a segment of a National Wild and Scenic River System (includes rivers officially designated by Congress as active study status rivers for possible inclusion) or within 0.25 miles upstream or downstream of the main stem or tributaries to such a system; • The project has no potential for an effect on a historic property which is listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places; • The project does not impinge upon the value of any National Wildlife Refuge, National Forest, or any other area administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service or National Park Service. • Appropriate BMPs are employed with regard to sedimentation and erosion controls (General Condition 20). New culvert installations may be conducted under PCN if the work complies with the general conditions and PCN criteria of the GP. The following are PCN criteria that are commonly applicable to new culvert installations in utility right of ways: • Work is conducted in accordance with the design requirements listed in Section 3.1.3 of the BMP Manual; • The work results in less than one acre of impacts to wetlands or Waters of the United States; • The project does not result in fill placed within a FEMA established floodplain that would adversely affect the hydraulic characteristics of the floodplain; • There is no practicable alternative location for the crossing that would have less environmental impacts; • The use of a bridge or open-bottom structure is determined to be not practicable; • For a single box or pipe arch culvert crossing, the inverts are set not less than 12 inches below the streambed elevation; • For a multiple box or pipe arch culvert crossing, the inverts of one of the boxes or pipe arch culverts are set not less than 12 inches below the elevation of the streambed; • For a pipe culvert crossing, the inverts are set such that not less than the pipe diameter or 12 inches, whichever is less, is set below the streambed elevation; • The culvert is backfilled with natural substrate material matching upstream and downstream streambed substrate; • The culvert has an openness ratio equal to or greater than 0.25 meters; • The structure does not result in a change in the normal water surface elevation of the upstream waters or wetlands; • The structure allows for continuous flow of the 50-year frequency storm flows; • Appropriate BMPs are employed with regard to sedimentation and erosion controls (General Condition 20). Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-12 New culvert installations that cannot meet SV or PCN criteria may require review under an IP. The ACOE should be consulted before assuming an IP will be required, as exceptions can be made under certain circumstances. In-kind replacement of culverts using the same materials is exempt from Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and does not require permitting with the ACOE. The ACOE, however, should be consulted before assuming an activity is exempt from their jurisdiction. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Bridge or open-bottom structure replacements may be conducted under SV if the conditions for a new bridge or open-bottom structure replacement have been met. In addition, bridge or open-bottom structure replacements should not result in a change in the normal surface elevation of the upstream waters or wetland, and the replacement structure should have a riparian bank on one or both sides for wildlife passage. Culvert replacements may be conducted under SV if the conditions for new culvert installation are met. Bridge or open-bottom structure replacements may be conducted under PCN if the conditions for a new bridge or open-bottom structure replacement have been met. Culvert replacements may be conducted under PCN if the following conditions are met: • The work results in 5,000 square feet to less than one acre of impacts to wetlands or Waters of the United States; • The use of a bridge or open-bottom structure is determined to be not practicable; • For a single box or pipe arch culvert crossing, the inverts are set not less than 12 inches below the streambed elevation; • For a multiple box or pipe arch culvert crossing, the inverts of one of the boxes or pipe arch culverts are set not less than 12 inches below the elevation of the streambed; • For a pipe culvert crossing, the inverts are set such that not less than the pipe diameter or 12 inches, whichever is less, is set below the streambed elevation; • The culvert is backfilled with natural substrate material matching upstream and downstream streambed substrate; • The culvert has an openness ratio equal to or greater than 0.25 meters; • The structure does not result in a change in the normal water surface elevation of the upstream waters or wetlands; • The structure allows for continuous flow of the 50-year frequency storm flows; • Appropriate BMPs are employed with regard to sedimentation and erosion controls (General Condition 20).

Publicly available data only allows for identification of designated Priority Habitats of Rare Species and Estimated Habitats of Rare Wildlife, not specific species information. Priority and Estimated Habitat locations are available online via the Massachusetts Geographic Information System (MassGIS) viewer. Species specific information is provided for planned linear transmission maintenance activities which are reviewed by NHESP as part of Eversource’s annual Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Plan. Projects/ activities which are not covered in the O&M Plan must file an independent request for information or initiate coordination with NHESP through Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Applicable regulations and agency are listed below: • Massachusetts Endangered Species Act: 321 CMR 10.00 – Division of Fisheries and Wildlife – NHESP C.2.2 Vernal Pools NHESP maintains a database of certified and potential vernal pools in Massachusetts. These data are available on the NHESP website and MassGIS. Certified Vernal Pools (CVP) are considered Outstanding Resource Waters (ORWs). The current version of the Department of the Army General Permits for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (MA GPs), effective date April 16, 2018 (expiration date: April 5, 2023) includes General Conditions for protection of vernal pools, regardless of whether or not the vernal pool is certified by NHESP, and including the vernal pool depression, the vernal pool envelope (area within 100 feet of the vernal pool depression’s edge), and the critical terrestrial habitat (area within 100-750 feet of the vernal pool depression’s edge). Temporary impacts associated with construction mats in previously disturbed areas of existing utility projects rights-of-way are exempt from GP requirements regarding work in the vernal pool envelope or critical terrestrial habitat, provided that a Vegetation Management Plan (VMP) exists that avoids, minimizes and mitigates impacts to aquatic resources. Applicable regulations and agencies for Certified Vernal Pools (CVPs) are listed below: • Wetlands Protection Act: 310 CMR 10.00 – Municipal Conservation Commissions (and MassDEP) • 401 Water Quality Certification for Discharge of Dredged or Fill Material, Dredging, and Dredged Material Disposal in Waters of the U.S. within the Commonwealth: 314 CMR 9.00 – MassDEP • Department of the Army General Permits for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts – ACOE C.2.3 Essential Fish Habitat and Wild & Scenic River Designation Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) is a habitat essential for spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity of federally managed species. This website provides more information: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/region/new-england-mid-atlantic#habitat. Consultation Appendix C C-3 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 with the ACO is recommended to confirm the location of Essential Fish Habitat with respect to a proposed project. Massachusetts has approximately 8,229 miles of river, of which 147.1 miles are designated as wild & scenic, as summarized below: • Nashua River (Main Stem from the confluence of the North and South Rivers in Lancaster, and extending north to the MA-NH border; some geographic exclusions) • Squannacook River (from headwaters in Ash Swamp/Townsend, extending downstream to the confluence with the Nashua River in Shirley/Ayer; some geographic exclusions) • Nissitissit River (from headwaters in Brookline (NH) to confluence with the Nashua River in Pepperell) • Sudbury River (14.9-mile segment from Danforth Street Bridge/Framingham downstream to the Route 2 Bridge/Concord; 1.7-mile segment • Assabet River • Concord River • Westfield River (Main Stem, East Branch, Middle Branch, West Branch, and named tributaries • Taunton River (main stem from headwaters at the confluence of the Town and Matfield Rivers (Bridgewater) downstream 40 miles to confluence with the Quequechan River at the Route 195 Bridge (Fall River) Currently, there are no river segments under study in Massachusetts for National Wild and Scenic designation (https://www.rivers.gov/study.php). Wild and Scenic designations should be verified via the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System website (https://www.rivers.gov/massachusetts.php) during project planning and permitting. The ACOE reviews projects for impacts to both EFH and National Wild and Scenic Rivers. • Department of the Army General Permits for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts – ACOE C.2.4 Cold-water Fishery Resources The Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife) maintains a list of waters that are known to have cold-water fishery resources (CFRs) which are waters in which the mean of the maximum daily temperature over a seven day period generally does not exceed 68°F (20°C) and, when other ecological factors are favorable (such as habitat), are capable of supporting a year round population of cold-water stenothermal aquatic life. CFRs are not currently regulated in and of themselves in Massachusetts. However, MassDEP is particularly concerned with water quality impacts to CFRs due to erosion and sedimentation as a result of construction projects. Appendix C C-4 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 C.2.5 Outstanding Resource Waters Outstanding Resource Waters (ORWs) include Certified Vernal Pools (CVPs), surface drinking water supplies, tributaries to surface drinking water supplies and vegetated wetlands adjacent thereto. CVPs are designated by NHESP and locations are available through MassGIS. Locations of surface drinking water supplies and other ORWs, typically identified as Zone A, are also available through MassGIS. The applicable regulations and agency are listed below: • 401 Water Quality Certification for Discharge of Dredged or Fill Material, Dredging, and Dredged Material Disposal in Waters of the U.S. within the Commonwealth: 314 CMR 9.00 – MassDEP C.2.6 Historic/Cultural Resources The Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC) is the State Historical Preservation Office (SHPO) and, along with the Board of Underwater Archaeological Resources (BUAR), are the state agencies responsible for protecting the Commonwealth’s historic and cultural resources. Additional stakeholders for cultural resources include the Massachusetts Commission on Indian Affairs, Native American tribes with interests in the state, and local historical commissions. C.3 Applicable Regulatory Agencies Activities subject to jurisdiction under the above-referenced programs will generally be subject to review by one or more regulatory agencies (refer to list below). New stream and wetland crossings not related to maintenance will require permitting with municipal Conservation Commissions, and may require permitting with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) under Sections 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act. Any non-maintenance work within Land Under Water will require permitting with the MassDEP Division of Wetlands and Waterways. Coordination with NHESP may also be required for projects located within areas mapped as Priority and/or Estimated Habitat for state-listed rare species. For work within navigable waters, consultation may be required with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (MA CZM). • Municipal Conservation Commissions • Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) Division of Wetlands and Waterways • Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife: Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) • Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) • United States Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) New England District • Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (MA CZM) • Massachusetts Division of Conservation and Recreation (MA DCR) C.4 Maintenance, Repair, or Emergency Projects Most regulatory programs contain provisions that allow normal maintenance of existing structures and/or response to emergency situations that require immediate attention. C.4.1 Maintain, Repair and/or Replace Exemptions or considerations for maintenance, repair, and/or replacement of existing electrical utility structures exist in some environmental regulations, but not all. The exemptions are limited to work related to existing and lawfully located structures where Appendix C C-5 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 no change in the original structure or footprint is proposed. It is not for the selected contractor of a particular project to make a determination as to whether an activity is exempt. This determination will be made prior to the commencement of work by the Eversource project manager in consultation with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. These exemptions/considerations are afforded at: • MAWPA (M.G.L Chapter 131, § 40, paragraph 1) • MAWPA regulations for Riverfront Area (310 CMR 10.58(6)) • MEPA regulations (301 CMR 11.01(2)(b)(3)) • 33 CFR Part 323.4(a)(2) • MESA (M.G.L. Chapter 131A, § 3; 321 CMR 10.14(5-7) and (12) • MAWPA (350 CMR 11.05(11) and (12)) • National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), Construction General Permit (as modified effective February 16, 2012) Certain operation and maintenance activities that will directly impact Waters of the United States through the discharge of fill (e.g., construction mats) are subject to Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act. C.4.2 Emergency Projects Emergency provisions are generally afforded to activities that need to abate conditions that pose a threat to public health or safety. These provisions generally do not allow work beyond what is necessary to abate the emergency condition and will generally require an after-the-fact permit. It is not for the selected contractor of a particular project to make a determination as to whether an activity is an emergency. This determination will be made prior to work by the Eversource project manager, in consultation with Eversource environmental staff. It is important to note that invocation of an emergency provision does not release the project proponent from reporting requirements. Emergency provisions are afforded at: • MAWPA regulations (310 CMR 10.06) • MEPA (301 CMR 11.00) • MA 401 WQC (314 CMR 9.12) • Chapter 91 (310 CMR 9.20) • MESA (321 CMR 10.15) C.5 Municipal Permitting Work within wetlands, watercourses and Buffer Zones typically requires permitting with municipal Conservation Commissions. Work that entails “maintaining, repairing or replacing, but not substantially changing or enlarging, an existing and lawfully located structure or facility used in the service of the public and used to provide electric service” is exempt under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (MAWPA) per MGL Chapter 131 Section 40. However, individual municipalities may establish their own wetlands bylaws under Home Rule authority which could require permitting for operation and maintenance activities. The following table lists communities in which Eversource operates and maintains infrastructure and which have a wetland bylaw. Appropriate municipal Appendix C C-6 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 permitting or notification should be completed in these towns as required prior to conducting operation and maintenance activities. Bylaws may be revised, or new bylaws enacted, at any time. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting prior to the commencement of work.

C.6 MA Department of Environmental Protection Review and approval under the Commonwealth’s Water Quality Certification Regulations Appendix C C-9 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 is required for “discharge of dredged or fill materials, dredging, and dredged material disposal activities in waters of the United States within the Commonwealth which require federal licenses or permits and which are subject to state water quality certification under 33 U.S.C. 1251, et seq. The federal agency issuing a permit initially determines the scope of geographic and activity jurisdiction” (314 CMR 9.01(2)). An individual Water Quality Certification is required from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) for any activity identified at 314 CMR 9.04. In accordance with 314 9.04 (4) activities which are exempt from MGL Chapter 131 Section 40 but are subject to 33 U.S.C. 1251, et seq., and will result in any discharge of dredge or fill material to bordering vegetated wetlands or land under water require an individual 401 Water Quality Certification. Eversource entered into an Administrative Consent Order (ACO) with MassDEP in 2017. This ACO serves as a general permit under the 401 Water Quality regulations (314 CMR 9.00) and establishes general conditions for routine operation and maintenance activities within existing ROWs. C.7 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Work within wetlands and waters of the United States is subject to jurisdiction under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, which is administered by the ACOE. The General Permits for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (MA GPs) establish categories for projects based on their nature of impacts. The MA GPs were most recently issued on April 16, 2018, and expire on April 5, 2023. Certain minor activities are eligible for Self-Verification (SV), which requires submittal of a Self-Verification Notification Form (SVNF) prior to the commencement of work. Activities eligible for Self-Verification are authorized under the MA GPs and may proceed without written verification from the ACOE as long as the SVNF has been submitted and the activity meets the terms and conditions of the applicable MA GPs. Activities requiring Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) require the submittal of an application to the ACOE, followed by a screening of the application by the ACOE, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Marine Fisheries Service, MassDEP, and consultation with the Massachusetts Historical Commission, Tribal Historic Preservation Officers (THPOs) and the Massachusetts Board of Underwater Archaeological Resources (BUAR). PCN projects may not proceed until written verification from the ACOE is received. An Individual Permit (IP) requires a formal permit application to be submitted to the ACOE. The application is reviewed in detail by both state and federal agencies, and a public notice is released for public comment. Projects which trigger an Individual Permit generally result in significant impacts to wetlands and/or watercourses outside the limits of the MA GPs. Work within, or above, Navigable Waters is also administered by the ACOE under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. ACOE permitting does not apply to activities that fall under the maintenance exemption set forth at 33 CFR 323.4(a)(2) – Discharges Not Requiring Permits: “Maintenance, including emergency reconstruction of recently damaged parts, of currently serviceable structures such as dikes, dams, levees, groins, riprap, breakwaters, causeways, bridge abutments or approaches, and transportation structures. Maintenance does not include any modification that changes the character, scope, or size of the original fill design. Emergency reconstruction must occur within a reasonable period of time after damage occurs in order to qualify for this exemption.” Appendix C C-10 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Maintenance projects that occurred prior to the ACOE jurisdiction over fill activities, or that were properly permitted, can proceed under the maintenance exemption noted above, provided that the same temporary fill areas are used. However, it is recommended that a formal determination be requested from the ACOE to confirm these activities are exempt. The repair, rehabilitation or replacement of a previously authorized, currently serviceable structure or fill (with some minor deviations in the structure’s configuration or filled area) are regulated under MA GP1 and subject to SV or PCN. Also, operation and maintenance related activities that do not meet the above exemption may qualify for SV. In that case, it is recommended that a copy of the SVNF be submitted to MassDEP. The MA GPs are listed below. MA GPs specifically, and typically, applicable to utility projects are emphasized by bold italic font: GP1. Repair, Replacement and Maintenance of Authorized Structures and Fills GP2. Moorings GP3. Pile-Supported Structures, Floats and Lifts GP4. Aids to Navigation, and Temporary Recreational Structures GP5. Dredging, Disposal of Dredged Material, Beach Nourishment, and Rock Removal and Relocation GP6.

Previously Authorized Activities In general, the following cumulative thresholds apply for determining the level of ACOE permitting required: Table C-2 MA GPs Permits Limits Resources SV Limits (SV Eligible) PCN Limits (PCN Eligible) IP Limits (IP Required) Non-tidal waters of the US 0 to 5,000 sf 5,000 sf to 1 acre >1 acre Tidal waters of the US Not eligible All discharges ≤1/2 acre >1/2 acre SAS in tidal waters of the US excluding vegetated shallows Not eligible All discharges ≤1,000 sf >1,000 sf Appendix C C-11 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 SAS in tidal waters of the US consisting of vegetated shallows only Not eligible All discharges ≤100 sf (compensatory mitigation is required >100 sf *Special Aquatic Sites (SAS) consist of wetlands, mud flats, vegetated shallows, sanctuaries and refuges, coral reefs, and riffle and pool complexes. These are defined at 40 CFR 230 Subpart E. Stream and wetland crossings are only subject to jurisdiction under the ACOE if there is a discharge of dredge or fill material into wetlands or waters of the United States. Equipment access through a stream or wetland with no structural BMP is not regulated by the ACOE if there is no discharge of dredge or fill material (note that equipment rutting as a result of not using an appropriate BMP can be considered a “discharge of dredge material”). Similarly, the use of a timber or rail car bridge that extends from bank to bank with no stream impacts is not regulated by the ACOE. The use of timber mats, stone, and log corduroy is considered “fill material” by the ACOE under the MA GPs, and must be calculated to determine overall impacts. Maintenance, including emergency reconstruction of currently serviceable structures, is exempt from ACOE jurisdiction and does not require formal permitting. Maintenance does not include any modification that changes the character, scope, or size of the original fill design. Emergency reconstruction must occur within a reasonable period of time after damage occurs to qualify for this exemption. New culvert installation or existing culvert replacements may require permitting with local Conservation Commissions under the MAWPA, and may also require permitting with the ACOE under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, and the MassDEP under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. Stream and wetland crossings (including culvert installations) that involve the discharge of dredge and fill material may be conducted under SV if the following criteria are met. • The use of construction mats of any area can be used to conduct activities that were previously authorized, authorized under Self-Verification, or not subject to regulation. Other temporary or permanent fill and associated secondary impacts must meet the SV limits. • Authorized construction mats must be removed immediately upon work completion, and the wetlands must be restored per the General Conditions. Appendix C C-12 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 The project has no potential for an effect on a historic property within the permit area or any known historic property that may occur outside the permit area. • Any in-water work controls that encroach upon more than 25 percent of the stream width are limited to a Time of Year (TOY) restriction in consideration of spawning, breeding and migration to maintain upstream fish passage. Activities within streams proposed during the TOY restrictions are generally ineligible for SV authorization. • The work does not result in direct or secondary impacts to Special Aquatic Sites. • No work occurs in Navigable Waters (waters subject to the ebb and flow of the tide and, in Massachusetts, the non-tidal consist of the Merrimack River, Connecticut River, and Charles River to the Watertown Dam). • Span streams or size culverts or pipe arches such that they are at least 1.2 times the bankfull width. Spans are strongly preferred as they avoid or minimize disruption to the streambed and avoid entire streambed reconstruction and maintenance inside the culvert or pipe arch, which may be difficult in smaller structures. Footings and abutments for spans and scour protection should be landward of 1.2 times bankfull width. • Embed culverts or pipe arches below the grade of the streambed. This is not required when ledge/bedrock prevents embedment, in which case spans are required. The following depths are recommended to prevent streambed washout, and ensure compliance and long-term success: o ≥ 2 feet for box culverts and pipe arches, or o ≥ 2 feet and at least 25% for round pipe culverts. • Match the culvert gradient (slope) with the stream channel profile. • Construct crossings with a natural bottom substrate within the structure matching the characteristics of the substrate in the natural stream channel and the banks (mobility, slope, stability, confinement, grain and rock size) at the time of construction and over time as the structure has had the opportunity to pass substantial high flow events. • Construct crossings with appropriate bed forms and streambed characteristics so that water depths and velocities are comparable to those found in the natural channel at a variety of flows at the time of construction and over time. In order to provide appropriate water depths and velocities at a variety of flows and especially low flows, it is usually necessary to reconstruct the streambed (sometimes including a low flow channel) or replicate or preserve the natural channel within the structure. Otherwise, the width of the structure needed to accommodate higher flows will create conditions that are too shallow at low flows. Flows could go subsurface within the structure if only large material is used without smaller material filling the voids. • Openness, which is the is the cross-sectional area of a structure opening divided by its crossing length when measured in consistent units, is > 0.82 feet (0.25 meters). Banks on each side of the stream inside the crossing matching the horizontal profile of the existing stream and banks outside the crossing are recommended. To prevent failure, all constructed banks should have a height to width ratio of no greater than 1:1.5 (vertical:horizontal) unless the stream is naturally incised. Tie these banks into the up and downstream banks and configure them to be stable during expected high flows. Appendix C C-13 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 • The project is not located within a vernal pool depression, or vernal pool envelope, and does not individually or cumulatively impact greater than 25% of the vernal pool critical terrestrial habitat. It is feasible for some temporary impacts associated with the use of construction mats in previously disturbed ROWs to occur within the vernal pool envelope or critical terrestrial habitat if a Vegetation Management Plan demonstrates avoidance, minimization and mitigation impacts to aquatic resources. • Culvert extensions do not qualify for SV. • Culvert projects using slip lining do not qualify for SV, either as new work or maintenance activities. • No open trench excavation in flowing waters. No work in riffles and pools. • The project does not entail stream relocation. • Work is not conducted within riffles or pools. • Normal flows within the stream boundary’s confines must be maintained, i.e., temporary flume pipes, culverts, cofferdams, etc. • Water diversions (i.e., bypass pumping or water withdrawals) may be used immediately up and downstream of the work footprint. • The project is (a) not located in the designated main stem of, or within 0.25 miles up or downstream of the designated main stem of, or in tributaries within 0.25 miles of the designated main stem of a National Wild and Scenic River System; (b) not in “bordering or contiguous wetlands” that are adjacent to the designated main stem of a National Wild and Scenic River; or (c) does not have the potential to alter flows within a river within the National Wild and Scenic River System. • The project is not located within areas containing USFWS or National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)-listed species or critical habitat. The project is not “likely to adversely affect” listed species or habitat per the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) or result in a “take” of any federally-listed threatened or endangered species of fish or wildlife. • The project does not impinge upon the value of any National Wildlife Refuge, National Forest, National Marine Sanctuary, or any other area administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service or National Park Service. • The project is not located on ACOE properties and ACOE-controlled easements. • The project does not propose temporary or permanent modification or use of a federal project beyond minor modifications required for normal operation and maintenance. • The project minimizes use of heavy construction equipment, and, where required, either has low ground pressure (typically less than 3 psi) or it must be placed on construction mats. • Construction mats must be placed in the wetland from the upland or from equipment positioned on swamp mats if working within a wetland. • Temporary fill must be stabilized. Unconfined, authorized temporary fill must consist of clean material that minimizes impacts to water quality. Temporary fill placed during the growing season must be removed before the beginning of the next growing season. If temporary fill is placed during the non-growing season, it may remain throughout the following growing season but must be removed before the beginning of the next growing season. Appendix C C-14 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 • Appropriate erosion, sedimentation and turbidity controls are used and maintained during construction. • Appropriate measures must be taken to minimize flooding to the maximum extent practicable. Wetland and stream crossings may be authorized under PCN if the following criteria are met: • The work results in less than one acre of impacts to inland, non-tidal, wetlands or waters of the United States. Stream and wetland crossings that cannot meet SV or PCN criteria may require review under an IP. The ACOE should be consulted before assuming an IP will be required, as exceptions can be made under certain circumstances. C.8 Temporary Stream Crossings C.8.1 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers See Section C.7 for general ACOE permitting requirements for stream crossings. To qualify for SV, temporary stream crossings (typically culverts) that are not spans must be designed in accordance with below. 1) Installed outside of the TOY restrictions and must be removed before the beginning of the TOY restriction of that same season. Temporary crossings that must remain into the TOY restriction will require PCN review. 2) Impacts to the streambed or banks require restoration to their original condition (see “Stream Simulation: An Ecological Approach to Providing Passage for Aquatic Organisms at Road-Stream Crossings,” for stream simulation restoration methods). Use geotextile fabric or other appropriate bedding for stream beds and approaches where practicable to ensure restoration to the original grade. The requirements in GCs 17, 18 and 19 are particularly relevant. 3) Avoid excavating the stream or embedding crossings. 4) For Culverts: a. The water height should be no higher than the top of the culvert’s inlet and the culvert is large enough to pass debris. b. Install energy dissipating devices downstream if necessary to prevent scour. c. The TOY restrictions in GC 18 and the restrictions in GC 17(f) are particularly relevant. 5) Removed upon the completion of work. Impacts to the streambed or banks requires restoration to their original condition using stream simulation methods. In-kind repair, replacement and maintenance of currently serviceable, authorized fills are eligible for SV. However, the conditions of the original authorization apply, and minor deviations in fill design are allowed. In-kind repair and maintenance of culverts that includes an expansion or change in use requires PCN. Replacement of non-serviceable fills, including an expansion or change in use, also requires PCN. In-kind replacement using the same materials is exempt from Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and does not require permitting with the ACOE. The ACOE, however, should be consulted before assuming an activity is exempt from their jurisdiction. APPENDIX D D-1 FRAC-OUT PLAN Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) for subsurface utility installations is considered to be the most effective and least environmentally damaging technique when compared to traditional mechanical dredging and trenching. This method ensures the placement of the pipeline at the target burial depth with no wetland or water body disturbance. HDD installation is the preferred method for crossing sensitive resources–the alternative is open cut trenching. The HDD procedure uses bentonite slurry, a fine clay material as a drilling lubricant. Directional drilling has the small potential to release bentonite slurry into the surface environment through frac-outs. This term describes the situation caused when the drilling head and its accompanying inert clay lubricant slurry, hits a subterranean fractured substrate. When the pressurized lubricant slurry reaches the fracture it can follow the fracture up or otherwise force itself to the surface or into the water if drilling is occurring under a waterbody. If a "frac-out” occurs under these water features, the potential exists for the inert clay (a nontoxic bentonite-based substance) to be released into the water column. In large quantities, the release of drilling mud into a waterbody could affect fisheries or other aquatic organisms by settling and temporarily inundating the habitats used by these species. Properly monitoring the slurry pressures and amounts significantly decreases risk of significant quantities of drilling fluid being released into the environment. Frac-out is most likely to occur near the bore entry and exit points where the drill head is shallow. Should a frac-out occur during HDD operations, the following measures will be taken. • Temporarily suspend forward drilling progress. • Monitor frac-out for 4 hours to determine if the drilling mud congeals. (Bentonite will usually harden, effectively sealing the frac-out location.) • If drilling mud congeals, take no other action that would potentially suspend sediments in the water column. • If drilling mud does not congeal, erect appropriate isolation/containment measures (i.e. turbidity curtains and/or underwater boom and curtain). • If the fracture becomes excessively large, a spill response team would be called in to contain and clean up excess drilling mud in the water. Phone numbers of spill response teams in the area will be on site. • Following containment, evaluate the current drilling profile (i.e. drill pressures, pump volume rates, drilling mud consistency) to identify means to prevent further frac-out events. • If the fracture is mitigated and controlled, forward progress of the drilling may resume. www.tighebond.com Project 7211940 APPENDIX M MASSACHUSETTS DEP STORMWATER CHECKLIST 484 Willow Mass DEP Stormwater Checklist.doc • 04/01/08 Stormwater Report Checklist • Page 1 of 8 Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Resource Protection - Wetlands Program Checklist for Stormwater Report A. Introduction Important: When filling out forms on the computer, use only the tab key to move your cursor - do not use the return key. A Stormwater Report must be submitted with the Notice of Intent permit application to document compliance with the Stormwater Management Standards. The following checklist is NOT a substitute for the Stormwater Report (which should provide more substantive and detailed information) but is offered here as a tool to help the applicant organize their Stormwater Management documentation for their Report and for the reviewer to assess this information in a consistent format. As noted in the Checklist, the Stormwater Report must contain the engineering computations and supporting information set forth in Volume 3 of the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook. The Stormwater Report must be prepared and certified by a Registered Professional Engineer (RPE) licensed in the Commonwealth. The Stormwater Report must include: • The Stormwater Checklist completed and stamped by a Registered Professional Engineer (see page 2) that certifies that the Stormwater Report contains all required submittals.1 This Checklist is to be used as the cover for the completed Stormwater Report. • Applicant/Project Name • Project Address • Name of Firm and Registered Professional Engineer that prepared the Report • Long-Term Pollution Prevention Plan required by Standards 4-6 • Construction Period Pollution Prevention and Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan required by Standard 82 • Operation and Maintenance Plan required by Standard 9 In addition to all plans and supporting information, the Stormwater Report must include a brief narrative describing stormwater management practices, including environmentally sensitive site design and LID techniques, along with a diagram depicting runoff through the proposed BMP treatment train. Plans are required to show existing and proposed conditions, identify all wetland resource areas, NRCS soil types, critical areas, Land Uses with Higher Potential Pollutant Loads (LUHPPL), and any areas on the site where infiltration rate is greater than 2.4 inches per hour. The Plans shall identify the drainage areas for both existing and proposed conditions at a scale that enables verification of supporting calculations. As noted in the Checklist, the Stormwater Management Report shall document compliance with each of the Stormwater Management Standards as provided in the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook. The soils evaluation and calculations shall be done using the methodologies set forth in Volume 3 of the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook. To ensure that the Stormwater Report is complete, applicants are required to fill in the Stormwater Report Checklist by checking the box to indicate that the specified information has been included in the Stormwater Report. If any of the information specified in the checklist has not been submitted, the applicant must provide an explanation. The completed Stormwater Report Checklist and Certification must be submitted with the Stormwater Report. 1 The Stormwater Report may also include the Illicit Discharge Compliance Statement required by Standard 10. If not included in the Stormwater Report, the Illicit Discharge Compliance Statement must be submitted prior to the discharge of stormwater runoff to the post-construction best management practices. 2 For some complex projects, it may not be possible to include the Construction Period Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan in the Stormwater Report. In that event, the issuing authority has the discretion to issue an Order of Conditions that approves the project and includes a condition requiring the proponent to submit the Construction Period Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan before commencing any land disturbance activity on the site. 484 Willow Mass DEP Stormwater Checklist.doc • 04/01/08 Stormwater Report Checklist • Page 2 of 8 Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Resource Protection - Wetlands Program Checklist for Stormwater Report B. Stormwater Checklist and Certification The following checklist is intended to serve as a guide for applicants as to the elements that ordinarily need to be addressed in a complete Stormwater Report. The checklist is also intended to provide conservation commissions and other reviewing authorities with a summary of the components necessary for a comprehensive Stormwater Report that addresses the ten Stormwater Standards. Note: Because stormwater requirements vary from project to project, it is possible that a complete Stormwater Report may not include information on some of the subjects specified in the Checklist. If it is determined that a specific item does not apply to the project under review, please note that the item is not applicable (N.A.) and provide the reasons for that determination. A complete checklist must include the Certification set forth below signed by the Registered Professional Engineer who prepared the Stormwater Report. Registered Professional Engineer’s Certification I have reviewed the Stormwater Report, including the soil evaluation, computations, Long-term Pollution Prevention Plan, the Construction Period Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (if included), the Longterm Post-Construction Operation and Maintenance Plan, the Illicit Discharge Compliance Statement (if included) and the plans showing the stormwater management system, and have determined that they have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Stormwater Management Standards as further elaborated by the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook. I have also determined that the information presented in the Stormwater Checklist is accurate and that the information presented in the Stormwater Report accurately reflects conditions at the site as of the date of this permit application.

Permits O Eversource Best Management Practices Manual Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 1-1 Section 1 Introduction Stormwater runoff from construction activities can have a significant impact on water quality. As stormwater flows over a construction site, it can pick up pollutants like sediment, debris, and chemicals and transport these to a nearby storm sewer system or directly to a river, lake, or coastal water. Polluted stormwater runoff can harm or kill fish and other wildlife. Sedimentation can destroy aquatic habitat, and high volumes of runoff can cause stream bank erosion. Debris can clog waterways and potentially reach the ocean where it can kill marine wildlife and impact habitat. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater program administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires construction site operators engaged in clearing, grading, and excavating activities that disturb one acre or more, including smaller sites in a larger common plan of development or sale, to obtain coverage under an NPDES permit for their stormwater discharges. The Construction General Permit (CGP) authorizes the discharge of stormwater pollution from construction activities in accordance with specified terms and conditions. All construction projects that propose to disturb one (1) or more acres of land must comply with the CGP. A construction project that is part of a larger common plan that will ultimately disturb one or more acres of land must also comply. This draft SWPPP has been prepared in accordance with the guidelines for the NPDES CGP for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity (2022, USEPA). This SWPPP addresses the Eversource ERP Staging Yard Project. Project Drawings are attached in Appendix A. A copy of the NPDES 2022 CGP for Construction Activities for which this SWPPP was prepared is attached in Appendix B. 1.1 Notice to Operators and Subcontractors Compliance with the CGP and its Standard Permit Conditions is the responsibility of the site Operator(s). An Operator is any party associated with a construction project that meets either of the following two criteria: 1. The party has operational control over construction plans and specifications, including the ability to make modifications to those plans and specifications; or 2. The party has day-to-day operational control of those activities at a project which are necessary to ensure compliance with a SWPPP for the site or other permit conditions (e.g., they are authorized to direct workers at a site to carry out activities required by the SWPPP or comply with other permit conditions). The Operators have been identified under Section 2.1. Each Operator is responsible for compliance with the CGP, including supplementing the SWPPP with actual site conditions, best management practices, construction sequencing, inspections, and reports. Generally, compliance is achieved by: • Developing and implementing a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). • Completing, certifying, and submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI) to the EPA. • Reading and complying with the requirements contained in the CGP. Section 1 Introduction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 1-2 • Keeping the NPDES CGP and SWPPP on file at the Project field office or at an easily accessible location so that it can be made available at the time of an onsite inspection or upon request. The SWPPP will be kept current and shall be amended according to the conditions described in the CGP. • Post a sign or other notice which shall be located so that it is visible from the public road that is nearest the active part of the construction site, and it must use a font large enough to be readily viewed from a public right-of-way. At a minimum, the notice shall include: o The NPDES Permit tracking number. o A contact name and phone number for obtaining additional project information. o The URL for the SWPPP (if available); or the following statement: “If you would like to obtain a copy of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for this site, contact the EPA Regional Office at (617) 918-1732”. o The following statement: “If you observe indicators of stormwater pollutants in the discharge or in the receiving waterbody, contact the EPA through the following website: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/reportenvironmental-violations”. Prior to submitting the NOI, the Operator(s) shall be responsible for finalizing the SWPPP and verifying information presented herein including, but not limited to, the items listed below. Section 2.1 • Confirm contact information • Complete and keep updated subcontractor information, including completing Subcontractor Certification/Agreements in Appendix G for each subcontractor Section 2.2 • Confirm contact information • Acknowledge that Operator(s) have read the CGP and understand the applicable requirements. Indicate so in provided check box and date line Section 2.3 • At all times, maintain at least one hard copy of the Contract Documents including permits on-site or at an easily accessible location so that they can be made available at the time of an on-site inspection or upon request Section 3.3 • Complete Construction Support Activities section and locate on Project Drawings in Appendix A Section 3.4 • In Appendix H, complete the sequence of activities form and attach preliminary project work schedule. Any changes in construction sequence shall be documented as needed Section 1 Introduction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 1-2 Section 3.5 • Review and update the list of Allowable Non-Stormwater Discharges and identify locations on the Project Drawings in Appendix A Section 3.6 • Complete Section 3.6 Section 5 • A general description of typical erosion and sediment controls are provided. The Contractor shall review and update this section, as needed, to meet the CGP requirements and the Contract Document requirements Section 7.1 • If the SWPPP operator contact identified in Section 2.1 will not be responsible for day-to-day SWPPP compliance, identify the Stormwater Manager/Inspector (person) and complete the Delegation of Authority form included in Appendix J Section 8 • Complete Section 8 Section 9 • Complete Table 9-1 and Training Log(s) in Appendix I Section 10 • Operator(s) shall sign and date the SWPPP certification statements • Each Operator shall complete an NOI online • Completed NOI and authorization email shall be attached in Appendix C To ensure permit compliance, the Operator(s) will need to: keep up to date and modify the SWPPP as needed to reflect the actual site conditions; follow the sediment and erosion control requirements; and conduct inspections, corrective actions, and spill prevention procedures. Until coverage is terminated under this permit, the Operator(s) are required to continue to comply with all conditions and requirements in the permit. To terminate permit coverage, all Operators must submit to EPA a complete and accurate Notice of Termination (NOT), which certifies an Operator has met the requirements for termination as listed in Part 8 of the CGP (see Section 10.2). Lastly, this draft SWPPP was prepared by Tighe & Bond to meet the requirements of the CGP and provide a template for the Operator to use to comply with the CGP. Unless otherwise identified in the SWPPP, the site Operators are responsible for permit compliance.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 4-1 Section 4 Documentation of Compliance with Other Federal Requirements 4.1 Endangered Species Protection Eligibility Criterion Under which criterion listed in Appendix D of the 2022 CGP are you eligible for coverage under this permit? A B C D E Supporting Documentation See Appendix L for all documentation including: 1. CGP Appendix D Checklist 2. NMFS Mapping and Report 3. USFWS Mapping and Report Criterion C: Discharges not likely to result in any short- or long-term adverse effects to ESA-listed species and/or designated critical habitat. ESA-listed species and/or designated critical habitat(s) under the jurisdiction of the USFWS and/or NMFS are likely to occur in or near your site’s “action area,” and you certify to EPA that your site’s discharges and discharge-related activities are not likely to result in any short- or long-term adverse effects to ESA-listed threatened or endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. This certification may include consideration of any stormwater controls and/or management practices you will adopt to ensure that your discharges and discharge-related activities are not likely to result in any short- or long-term adverse effects to ESA-listed species and/or designated critical habitat. To certify your eligibility under this criterion, indicate 1) the ESA-listed species and/or designated habitat located in your “action area” using the process outlined in Appendix D of this permit; 2) the distance between the site and the listed species and/or designated critical habitat in the action area (in miles); and 3) a rationale describing specifically how short- or long-term adverse effects to ESA-listed species will be avoided from the discharges and dischargerelated activities. (Note: You must include a copy of your Project Drawings from your SWPPP showing the upland and in-water extent of your “action area” with your NOI). Basis statement: The United States Fish and Wildlife Service's IPaC online tool was consulted in January 2023 for the presence of Threatened and Endangered species. Upon review, the action area was determined to be within the range of the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis; Endangered) and the sandplain gerardia (Agalinis acuta; Endangered). It was determined that the action area would not impact either species as no critical habitat was been designated in the vicinity of the project site. Although tree clearing will occur, roosting trees for the northern Section 4 Site Evaluation, Assessment, and Planning Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 4-2 long-eared bat are not present and all tree-clearing will occur outside the active period (April – October) for this species. The National Marine Fisheries Service's Greater Atlantic Region ESA Section 7 Mapper was consulted in August 2022 for the presence of Threatened and Endangered species. Upon review, there are no NMFS-protected species or critical habitat in the action area. Check the applicable source(s) of information you relied upon: ✓ Resources used to make determination: USFWS IPaC Online Tool, USFWS Species Determination Table for Endangered Species Project Review, NMFS Greater Atlantic Region ESA Section 7 Mapper ✓ ESA-listed Species/Critical Habitat in action area: Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), Sandplain Gerardia (Agalinis acuta), monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) ✓ Distance between site and ESA-listed Species/Critical Habitat: 0 miles ✓ How adverse effects will be avoided: No roosting trees are present in the vicinity of the project site. Trees will be cleared outside of the active period of the northern long-eared bat. Training for all crew members will be provided prior to construction activities. Proper erosion and sedimentation control measures will be implemented to avoid impacts to potential habitat. Section 4 Site Evaluation, Assessment, and Planning Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 4-3 4.2 Historic Preservation The project work consists of installing ground-disturbing stormwater controls. 2022 CGP Appendix E, Step 1 Do you plan on installing any of the following stormwater controls at your site? _Yes_ Check all that apply below, and proceed to Appendix E, Step 2. Dike Berm Catch Basin Pond Stormwater Site Drainage Feature (e.g., ditch, trench, perimeter drain, swale, etc.) Culvert Channel Other type of ground-disturbing stormwater control: 2022 CGP Appendix E, Step 2 If you answered yes in Step 1, have prior professional cultural resource surveys or other evaluations determined that historic properties do not exist, or have prior disturbances at the site precluded the existence of historic properties? YES NO • If yes, provide documentation of the basis for your determination. A desktop review of the Massachusetts Historic Commission Inventory was reviewed and it was determined no areas of historical significance are present at the project site. 4.3 Safe Drinking Water Act Underground Injection Control Requirements Do you plan to install any of the following controls? Check all that apply below. Infiltration trenches (if stormwater is directed to any bored, drilled, driven shaft or dug hole that is deeper than its widest surface dimension, or has a subsurface fluid distribution system) Commercially manufactured pre-cast or pre-built proprietary subsurface detention vaults, chambers, or other devices designed to capture and infiltrate stormwater flow Drywells, seepage pits, or improved sinkholes (if stormwater is directed to any bored, drilled, driven shaft or dug hole that is deeper than its widest surface dimension, or has a subsurface fluid distribution system) There are no controls to be installed as part of this project as identified in the 2022 CGP Part 7.2.9. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-1 Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Site Operator(s) must implement erosion and sediment controls in accordance with the following requirements to minimize the discharge of pollutants in stormwater from construction activities. This project also includes site specific controls and permit conditions which may take precedent and are not included in the following descriptions. The Operator(s) shall also comply with the requirements in the project’s permits which are provided in the Contract Documents. 5.1 Natural Buffers or Equivalent Sediment Controls Are there any receiving waters within 50 feet of your project’s earth disturbances? YES NO 5.2 Preserving Existing Vegetation The preservation of existing vegetation (groundcover, vines, shrubs, trees) will be employed within the work area wherever possible, primarily to increase soil stability and decrease the amount and velocity of runoff. This also includes identification and protection of certain trees either for aesthetic or erosion and sediment control benefits. 5.3 Perimeter Controls A perimeter control representing the limit of disturbance will be installed prior to the commencement of work. No construction activity will occur beyond the limit of disturbance, thereby minimizing adverse effects to sensitive resource areas. Where the work area is located adjacent to or near a resource area, erosion controls will also function as perimeter controls. General Wetland resource areas in close proximity to the proposed project area will be protected by a row of erosion control barriers. The erosion control barriers will consist of straw wattles, mulch-filled tubes (e.g., compost filter tubes/socks), or other similarly effective devices placed in a fashion that restricts the contractor(s) to the areas necessary to conduct the work and will define the limits of work. The locations of these barriers are shown on the project drawings. Specific Perimeter Controls Silt Fence and Straw Wattles/Compost Filter Socks Silt fence and straw wattles/compost filter socks are used as an erosion control device to slow runoff velocities, entrain suspended sediments, and promote vegetation growth until an area is stabilized. They are not generally intended for steep slopes, but rather, to stabilize low to moderate grades where there is a broad area of disturbance. They should be placed lengthwise, perpendicular to the direction of runoff. Straw wattles/compost filter socks may also be used along wetland resource areas to protect areas before vegetation has stabilized disturbed soils. Filter socks are constructed from a biodegradable mesh sock stuffed with compost filter media. Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-2 • Perimeter controls shall be installed downgradient of construction activities. Perform work in accordance with Eversource Best Management Practices. Installation • Temporary erosion control measures shall be installed prior to the start of any earth disturbing activities. • Erosion control barriers shall not be removed until their removal is approved by the Engineer or Owner. • Sediment controls shall be installed along any perimeter areas of the site that are downslope from any exposed soil or other disturbed areas. • To prevent stormwater from circumventing the edge of the perimeter control, install the perimeter control on the contour of the slope and extend both ends of the control up slope (e.g., at 45 degrees) forming a crescent rather than a straight line. Maintenance Requirements • The contractor(s) will be required to maintain a reserve supply of erosion control barriers on-site to make repairs, as necessary. • Perimeter control shall be inspected immediately after each rainfall and at least daily during prolonged rainfall. They shall be repaired if there are any signs of erosion or sedimentation below them, any repairs shall be made immediately. If there are signs of undercutting at the center or the edges, or impounding of large volumes of water behind them, sediment barriers may be replaced with a temporary check dam. • After a storm event, if there is any evidence of stormwater circumventing or undercutting the perimeter control, the control will be extended and undercut areas repaired. • Should the fabric on a barrier decompose or become ineffective prior to the end of the expected usable life and the barrier still is necessary, the fabric shall be replaced promptly. • Sediment deposits should be removed after each storm event. They must be removed when deposits reach approximately 1/3 the height of the barrier. • After a storm event, if there is evidence of stormwater circumventing or undercutting the perimeter control, extend control and/or repair undercut areas to fix the problem. At the conclusion of the project, the erosion control barriers will be removed and properly disposed off-site following the stabilization of disturbed areas and Conservation Commission authorization. Straw Bales Staked straw bales can be utilized as erosion control barriers. They are staked in a line around perimeters of disturbed areas, especially those adjacent to wetlands, waterways, roadways or at the base of slopes. Perimeter barriers intercept, filter, and reduce the velocity of stormwater run-off. • Perform work in accordance with Eversource Best Management Practices. Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-3 • See Installation and Maintenance requirements under Silt Fence and Straw Wattles/Compost Filter Socks. 5.4 Sediment Track-Out General It is the site contractor/project manager’s responsibility to take measures to prevent tracking of sediment from the utility trenches, sidewalk and curb removal areas, and other excavation locations. It is also the contractor/project manager’s responsibility to take measures to prevent tracking of sediment from the staging and material storage area. A street sweeping apparatus shall be used as necessary to minimize the track-out of sediment onto off-site streets, other paved areas, and sidewalks from vehicles exiting the construction site. Specific Track-Out Controls A stone construction entrance track pad will be installed where the construction area connects to paved roads to limit construction machinery from tracking soil onto paved roadways. Procedures should be established to ensure soils are not tracked off-site and restricting vehicle use to properly designated exit points. Muddy conditions may warrant the use of a tire wash station. If the track pad becomes clogged with soil, stone may need to be removed and refreshed and/or cleaned as needed. Materials appropriate to construction site soil conditions should be employed and/or replenished, as necessary. The proposed location of the construction entrance track pad is depicted on the Project Drawings. • Perform work in accordance with Eversource Best Management Practices. Installation • At access road entrances from public roadways, sediment track out control includes but is not limited to the use of aggregate stone with an underlying geotextile or non-woven filter fabric or turf mats. Maintenance Requirements • The exits shall be maintained in a condition, which will prevent tracking of sediment onto the public right-of-way. When washing is required, it shall be completed in an area stabilized with aggregate which drains into an approved sediment trapping device. • If sediment is tracked out from the site to the surface of off-site streets, other paved areas, and sidewalks, the site contractor/project manager shall remove the deposited sediment by the end of the same work day in which the track-out occurs or by the end of the next work day if track-out occurs on a non-work day. • Tracked-out sediment shall be removed by sweeping, shoveling, or vacuuming or by using other similarly effective means of sediment removal. • All sediment shall be prevented from entering any constructed or natural site drainage feature, storm drain inlet, or receiving water. Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-4 5.5 Stockpiled Sediment or Soil General Stockpiles are to be located as far as possible from any constructed or natural site drainage features, storm drain inlets, and areas where stormwater flow is concentrated. Soil stockpiles shall be protected from contact with stormwater using a temporary sediment barrier, such as a compost filter sock. Any stockpiles of loose materials shall be properly stabilized to prevent erosion and sedimentation. Place, grade, and shape stockpiles to drain surface water within the approved stockpile and material laydown locations. Take care to not store within the drip line of remaining trees. Stockpiles can be covered with sheets of plastic/tarp to minimize windblown dust. Stockpiled erodible materials that will not be used for greater than 14 days shall be stabilized with temporary seed immediately following placement. Specific Stockpile Controls Description • Temporary stockpiles of excavated soil will be placed at material storage locations in accordance with the Eversource Best Management Practices. Installation • Install a sediment barrier, silt fencing or straw bales, along downgradient perimeter areas of stockpiled soil or land clearing debris piles. • For piles that will be unused for 14 or more days, sediment and erosion controls and/or cover shall be used on stockpiles to minimize the discharge of sediment or soil particles from discharging to any receiving water. Temporary stabilization with seeding shall be used if perimeter controls and/or cover are not sufficient. Maintenance Requirements • Do not hose down or sweep soil or sediment accumulated on pavement or other impervious surfaces into constructed or natural site drainage feature (unless connected to a sediment basin, sediment trap, or similarly effective control), storm drain inlet, or receiving water. 5.6 Minimize Dust General The contactor shall be responsible to control dust throughout the construction period. Dust control methods shall include, but not be limited to sprinkling water on exposed areas, covering loaded dump trucks leaving the site, and temporary mulching. Dust control measures shall be utilized to limit the migration of dust from the site to abutting areas. Measures will be implemented to reduce surface and air movement of dust from exposed soil surfaces during land disturbance, demolition, and construction activities. These measures will decrease the amount of dust in the air, thus decreasing the potential for accidents, respiratory problems, and airborne sedimentation. To reduce the amount of areas requiring dust control, construction activities should be scheduled appropriately to minimize soil exposure. Dust control methods include sprinkling water on exposed areas. Water used shall be clean, non-polluted water obtained from sources approved by the Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-5 Owner and/or Engineer. In addition, streets will be swept regularly throughout construction. Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a)6., and in accordance with MassDEP’s obligation under 314 CMR 4.05(5)(e) to maintain surface waters free from pollutants the use of calcium chloride for dust control shall be avoided. Specific Dust Controls Description • Prevent dust from becoming a nuisance or hazard. During construction, excavated material and open or stripped areas are to be policed and controlled to limit spreading of the material. • Dust control measures shall be utilized to limit the migration of dust from the site to abutting areas. • Ensure that the existing equipment, facilities, and occupied space adjacent to or nearby areas of the work do not come in contact with dust or debris as a result of concrete demolition, excavation or surface preparation for coatings. Installation • Dust control methods shall include, but not be limited to, sprinkling water on exposed areas, using calcium chloride, covering loaded dump trucks leaving the site, and temporary mulching. Maintenance Requirements • During the daily work, all paved road and driveway surfaces shall be scraped and broomed (i.e., mechanical street sweeper) free of excavated materials daily. Prior to sweeping or as needed during the workday the surfaces shall be hosed down or otherwise treated to eliminate active or potential dust conditions and the natural road or wearing surface shall be exposed. 5.7 Minimize the Disturbance of Steep Slopes General Final grades shall be stabilized with mulch or loam and seed to prevent erosion. Install temporary erosion control mats on all exposed cut/fill slopes with a slope 3:1 or greater to protect against rainfall and wind erosion and hold moisture content to enhance vegetation growth in seed. Erosion control mats shall be biodegradable after 12 to 24 months. Placement of rip rap or crushed stone may also be utilized as a temporary slope stabilization method on side slopes in select portions of the site prone to stormwater runoff from upgradient areas from the site. The proposed locations of erosion control mat installations are depicted on the Project Drawings 5.8 Topsoil General All areas not to be paved or otherwise treated shall receive a 4-inch-thick layer of loam and seed. Salvage existing loam and topsoil and stockpile this material for re-spreading Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-6 where originally removed. On backfilling, grading shall be returned to preconstruction contours and the stockpile of loam shall be spread over areas disturbed during construction activities. Specific Topsoil Controls Description • Topsoil/loam will be controlled by providing temporary and permanent grass cover. Installation • Temporary seed cover shall be provided to stabilize the site in areas where construction activity shall not occur for more than 21 calendar days by the 7th day after construction activity has ceased. Maintenance Requirements • Seeding shall be inspected periodically, and a minimum 95% of the soil surface should be covered by vegetation. If any evidence of erosion is apparent, repairs shall be made, and additional measures shall be used in the interim. • Hay or straw mulch shall be applied immediately after seeding. 5.9 Soil Compaction In areas where final vegetative stabilization will occur or where infiltration practices will be installed: • Restrict vehicle and equipment use at these locations to avoid soil compaction; and • Prior to seeding or planting areas of exposed soil that have been compacted, use techniques that rehabilitate and condition the soils to support vegetative growth, if necessary and feasible. 5.10 Storm Drain Inlets General Catch basin inlet controls shall be installed in the existing stormwater system. No new stormwater management infrastructure is proposed in this project. Storm Drain Inlet Controls Provide catch basin inlet protection in all catch basins within the vicinity of the earth disturbing activities to protect the stormwater management system from high sediment loads and high velocities while disturbance due to construction is occurring in the drainage area. Inlet protection measures are not required for storm drain inlets that are conveyed to a sediment basin, sediment trap, or similarly effective control measure. • Perform work in accordance with Eversource Best Management Practices. Description • Storm drain inlet controls include the installation of silt sacks or approved equivalent. Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-7 Installation • Temporary inlet protection devices shall be installed securely below catch basin rims in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations. Maintenance Requirements • Silt sacks shall be inspected immediately after each rainfall and at least daily during prolonged rainfall. They shall be repaired or replaced as needed. • Sediment deposits should be removed after each storm event. They must be cleaned when deposits reach approximately 1/3 the height of the barrier. • The site contractor/project manager shall remove the deposited sediment and make any repairs by the end of the same work day in which the sediment is observed or by the end of the next work day if observation occurs on a non-work day. • Following stabilization of the site and the receipt of permission from the Owner’s Representative, the Contractor shall remove inlet protection. 5.11 Construction Stormwater Conveyance Channels General The Contractor shall control the grading in areas under construction so that the surface of the ground will properly slope to prevent accumulation of water in excavated areas and adjacent properties. Grass lined channels, riprap lined channels, and vegetated swales are all natural or constructed waterways or outlets utilized to convey stormwater away from the work area to a stable location, while at the same time, reducing the velocity and turbidity of the flow. Use in all areas where concentrated run-off would otherwise cause erosion/flooding. Specific Stormwater Conveyance Channel Measures Description • Temporary diversion swales and berms will be excavated where necessary prior to the start of major earthmoving operations to ensure minimal erosion and to keep areas as free from surface water. Refer to the Project Drawings. Installation • The swales will be used to channel water from disturbed areas to temporary sediment traps. Swale slopes will be stabilized with seed within seven days of installation. If the swale slopes are greater than 3:1 they will be stabilized with crushed stone, jute netting or turf reinforcement mats. The proposed locations of temporary diversions swales and berms are depicted in the Contract Documents. Maintenance Requirements • Stormwater conveyance channels shall be inspected on a regular basis. • Maintenance shall be completed to ensure that stormwater routed to conveyance channels does not circumvent the limits of the channels, and that the velocity of the stormwater is reduced. Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-8 • Additional erosion control measures may be installed within the conveyance channel as necessary. 5.12 Chemical Treatment Treatment chemicals will not be utilized at the site. 5.13 Dewatering Practices General During excavation activities it may be necessary to dewater in the instance that high groundwater or saturated soil is present. Standard dewatering measures will be employed. No untreated groundwater will be discharged to wetlands or waterways. Excess water will be discharged overland in upland areas and allowed to naturally infiltrate after passing through filtration sacks or similar treatment alternatives. To the extent possible, dewatering activities should be located outside of the 100-foot Buffer Zone to resource areas. If dewatering occurs within the 100-foot Buffer Zone, activities should be monitored. Dewatering activities should be confined within an area of secondary containment. Specific Dewatering Practices Dewatering Practice Description • Shall be performed as per CGP requirements and Eversource Best Management Practices. • Provide, operate, and maintain adequate pumping, diversion, and drainage facilities in accordance with the approved dewatering plan to maintain the excavated area sufficiently dry from groundwater and/or surface runoff so as not to adversely affect construction procedures nor cause excessive disturbance of underlying natural ground. Locate dewatering system components so that they do not interfere with construction under this or other contracts. • Install erosion/sedimentation controls for velocity dissipation at point discharges onto non-paved surfaces. Installation • Install sand and gravel, or crushed stone, filters in conjunction with sumps, well points, and/or deep wells to prevent the migration of fines from the existing soil during the dewatering operation. • Transport pumped or drained water without interference to other work, damage to pavement, other surfaces, or property. Pump water through a silt filter bag prior to discharge to grade of drainage system. • Do not discharge water into any sanitary sewer system. • Provide separately controllable pumping lines. Maintenance Requirements • Repair any damage resulting from the failure of the dewatering operations and any damage resulting from the failure to maintain all the areas of work in a suitable dry condition. Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-9 • Take actions necessary to ensure that dewatering discharges comply with permits applicable to the Project. Dispose of water from the trenches and excavations in such a manner as to avoid public nuisance, injury to public health or the environment, damage to public or private property, or damage to the work completed or in progress. 5.14 Site Stabilization Total Amount of Land Disturbance Occurring at Any One Time Five acres or less Greater than five acres General Complete the stabilization activities as specified in CGP Parts 2.2.14.a and/or 2.2.14.b. Initiate the installation of stabilization measures immediately in any areas of exposed soil where construction activities have permanently ceased or will be temporarily inactive for 14 or more calendar days. Complete the installation of stabilization measures as soon as practicable, but no later than 14 calendar days after stabilization has been initiated. Only use the following stabilization practices if you are not located in an arid, semi-arid, or drought-stricken area. 5.14.1 Seeding Vegetative Non-Vegetative Temporary Permanent Installation • When construction has temporarily or permenantly ceased, seeding shall occur immediately. Permanent seeding shall occur on any non-jurisdictional, graded or cleared upland area which has been completed as designed or will not be brought to final grade for 12 months or more. Maintenance Requirements • Periodic inspections shall occur once a week and after every rainstorm 0.25 inches or greater until a minimum of 70% of the soil surface is covered by vegetation. Refer to Eversource Best Management Practices and the approved seed submittal. 5.14.2 Mulching Vegetative Non-Vegetative Temporary Permanent Installation • When construction will be temporarily or permenantly ceased, mulching shall occur immediately over seeding, as required, for erosion control while vegetation is being established. Section 5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 5-10 Maintenance Requirements • Periodic inspections shall occur once a week and after every rainstorm 0.25 inches or greater. Refer to Eversource Best Management Practices and the approved mulch submittal. 5.14.3 Erosion Control Mats or Blankets Vegetative Non-Vegetative Temporary Permanent Description of Practice • Organic or synthetic materials applied to the soil surface as a continuous sheet. Used to protect disturbed areas from erosion and to enhance seed growth, typically where moving water is likely to wash out new vegetative plantings and mulches are ineffective. • Commonly used techniques include erosion control blankets which are made of mulch material surrounded by a plastic netting, jute mats which are sheets of woven jute fiber, and turf reinforcement matting which is usually a geotextile matrix most effective for channels. Maintenance Requirements • Periodic inspections shall occur once a week and after every rainstorm 0.25 inches or greater. Refer to Eversource Best Management Practices and the approved mat or blanket submittal. 5.14.4 Surface Roughening Vegetative Non-Vegetative Temporary Permanent Description of Practice • Roughening a bare soil surface either with horizontal grooves running across the slope, stair stepping, or tracking with construction equipment. An inexpensive and simple temporary control measure that encourages water infiltration, speeds the establishment of vegetation, and decreases runoff velocity.

The CGP describes a “qualified person” as someone who: • Is knowledgeable in the principles and practice of erosion and sediment controls and pollution prevention; • Possesses the appropriate skills and training to assess conditions at the construction site that could impact stormwater quality; and • Has appropriate skills and training to assess the effectiveness of any stormwater controls selected and installed to meet the requirements of this permit. 7.2 Inspection Personnel and Procedures Personnel Responsible for Inspections The Team Member or delegated person identified in Section 2.2 or Appendix J, respectively, shall complete inspection reports, sign inspection reports, and maintain current copies of all inspection reports on-site or at an easily accessible location. Inspection Frequency Inspections shall be conducted according to the following schedules: • Once every 7 calendar days, or • Once every 14 calendar days and within 24 hours of either: o A storm event that produces 0.25 inches or more of rain within a 24-hour period (including when there are multiple, smaller storms that alone produce less than 0.25 inches but together produce 0.25 inches or more in 24 hours), or o A storm event that produces 0.25 inches or more of rain within a 24-hour period on the first day of a storm and continues to produce 0.25 inches or more of rain on subsequent days (an inspection is conducted within 24 hours of the first day of the storm and within 24 hours after the last day of the storm that produces 0.25 inches or more of rain (i.e., only two inspections would be required for such a storm event)), or o A discharge caused by snowmelt from a storm event that produces 3.25 inches or more of snow within a 24-hour period. If there is a storm event that continues for multiple days, and each day of the storm produces 0.25 inches or more of rain, an inspection must be conducted within 24 hours of the first day of the storm and within 24 hours after the end of the storm. For storm events occurring on a Friday or a non-workday, inspections must be conducted on the next workday. Section 7 Inspection and Corrective Action Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 7-2 Rain event information shall be based on a properly maintained rain gauge on your site, or obtained from a weather station that is representative of the site location (address of the weather station must be recorded in the SWPPP). The rainfall amount that triggered the inspection shall be recorded on the inspection form. Reduced Frequency Stabilized Areas o Twice during the first month, no more than 14 calendar days apart; then once per month after the first month until permit coverage is terminated consistent with Part 9 in any area of your site where the stabilization steps in Part 2.2.14.a have been completed. Stabilized Areas (“linear construction sites,” as defined in Appendix A) o The frequency of inspections may be reduced to twice per month for the first month, no more than 14 calendar days apart, in any area of your site where the stabilization steps in 2.2.14a have been completed. o After the first month, inspect once more within 24 hours of the occurrence of a storm event of 0.25 inches or greater or within 24 hours of a snowmelt discharge from a storm event that produces 3.25 inches or more of snow within a 24-hour period. o If there are no issues or evidence of stabilization problems, you may suspend further inspections. o If “wash-out” of stabilization materials and/or sediment is observed, following re-stabilization, inspections must resume at the inspection frequency required in Part 4.4.1a. Inspections must continue until final stabilization is visually confirmed following a storm event of 0.25 inches or greater. Frozen Conditions o If construction activities are suspended due to frozen conditions, inspections may be temporarily suspended until thawing conditions. See CGP Part 4.4.3 for conditions and requirements. Inspection Requirements • Check rain gauge for rain amount (if applicable). • Check whether all stormwater controls are properly installed, appear to be operational, and are working as intended to minimize pollutant discharges. • Check for the presence of conditions that could lead to spills, leaks or other accumulation of pollutants on the site. • Identify any locations where new or modified stormwater controls are necessary to meet the requirements of Parts 2 and/or 3. • Check for signs of visible erosion and sedimentation (e.g., sediment deposits) that have occurred and are attributable to your discharge at points of discharge and, if applicable, the banks of any waters of the U.S. flowing within or immediately adjacent to the site. • Identify any incidents of noncompliance observed. • If a discharge is occurring during your inspection: Section 7 Inspection and Corrective Action Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 7-3 o Identify all discharge points at the site; and o Observe and document the visual quality of the discharge and take note of the characteristics of the stormwater discharge, including color; odor; floating, settled, or suspended solids; foam; oil sheen; and other indicators of stormwater pollutants. • Based on the results of the inspection, complete any necessary maintenance or necessary steps to replace, repair, maintain or modify according to the corrective action schedule found under Section 7.3. Dewatering Inspection Requirements • The inspection date; • Names and titles of personnel making the inspection. • Approximate times that the dewatering discharge began and ended on the day of inspection (If the dewatering discharge is a continuous discharge that continues after normal business hours, indicate that the discharge is continuous). • Estimates of the rate (in gallons per day) of discharge on the day of inspection. • Whether or not any of the following indications of pollutant discharge were observed at the point of discharge to any receiving waters flowing through or immediately adjacent to the site and/or to constructed or natural site drainage features or storm drain inlets (if the operator observes any of these indicators of pollutant discharge, corrective action is required consistent with Parts 5.1.5b and 5.2.2.): o A sediment plume, suspended solids, unusual color, presence of odor, decreased clarity, or presence of foam; and/or o A visible sheen on the water surface or visible oily deposits on the bottom or shoreline of the receiving water. • Photographs of: o The dewatering water prior to treatment by a dewatering control(s) and the final discharge after treatment; o The dewatering control(s); and o The point of discharge to any receiving waters flowing through or immediately adjacent to the site and/or to constructed or natural site drainage features, storm drain inlets, and other conveyances to receiving waters. • Based on the results of the inspection, complete any necessary maintenance or necessary steps to replace, repair, maintain or modify according to the corrective action schedule found under Section 7.3. Inspection Report Forms Inspection forms are located in Appendix D. The Inspector is to copy blank forms, fill out, and place in Appendix D of this report within 24 hours of the inspection. Copies of the inspection reports will be provided to the Owner and Engineer weekly. Section 7 Inspection and Corrective Action Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 7-4 7.3 Corrective Action Routine Maintenance vs. Corrective Action Inspections During inspections, operator may observe conditions requiring followup action in the form of routine maintenance or corrective action. Routine Maintenance Triggered by the need for minor repairs or other upkeep performed to ensure site’s controls remain in effective operating condition. Minor repairs are those that generally can be completed by the close of the next business day. Corrective Action Triggered by the need for a significant repair or a new or replacement control, or by the occurrence of specific conditions. Triggered by the repeated need to repair a control (3+) which is not performing as intended. Personnel Responsible for Corrective Actions The Team Member or delegated person identified in Section 2.2 or Appendix J, respectively, shall be responsible for completing Corrective Actions, completing Corrective Action Reports as outline in the CGP and below, and maintaining current copies of all inspection reports on-site or at an easily accessible location. A Correction Action is an action taken to: • Repair, modify, or replace any stormwater controls used at the site. • Clean up and proper disposal of spills, releases, or other deposits. • Remedy a permit violation. Corrective Action Requirements When a problem with the erosion or sediment controls is encountered, necessary repairs or modifications must be completed within one workday upon discovery of erosion and sediment controls needing to be replaced or repaired. Should significant repairs or additional controls be required, new or modified controls must be in place within seven (7) days. Where a corrective action results in changes to any of the stormwater controls or procedures it must be documented in the SWPPP within seven (7) days of completing the corrective action. If it is determined that the stormwater controls as installed and maintained are not effective enough for the discharge, the EPA regional office must be notified by the end of the next calendar day. Notification shall also be through the EPA’s electronic NOI system. Corrective Action Report For each corrective action taken, a Corrective Action Report, located in Appendix E, must be completed. Within 24 hours of discovering the occurrence of condition requiring corrective action, a report must be completed that includes: • Which condition was identified at the site. Section 7 Inspection and Corrective Action Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 7-5 • The nature of the conditions identified. • The date and time of the condition identified and how it was identified. Within seven days of discovering the occurrence of condition requiring corrective action, a report must be completed that includes: • Any follow-up actions taken to review the design, installation, and maintenance of stormwater controls, including the dates of such actions occurred. • A summary of stormwater control modifications taken or to be taken, including a schedule of activities necessary to implement changes, and the date the modifications are completed or expected to be completed. • Notice of whether SWPPP modifications are required as a result of the condition identified or corrective action. Copies of the Corrective Action Reports will be provided to the Owner and Engineer weekly. 7.4 SWPPP Modifications SWPPP modifications are required pursuant to CGP Part 7.4.1 in the following circumstances: • Whenever new operators become active in construction activities on your site, or you make changes to your construction plans, stormwater control measures, pollution prevention measures, or other activities at your site that are no longer accurately reflected in your SWPPP. • To reflect areas on the Project Drawings where operational control has been transferred (and the date of transfer) since initiating permit coverage. • If inspections or investigations determine that SWPPP modifications are necessary for compliance with this permit. • Where EPA determines it is necessary to impose additional requirements on your discharge. • To reflect any revisions to applicable federal, state, tribal, or local requirements that affect the stormwater control measures implemented at the site. SWPPP changes shall be recorded on the SWPPP Amendment Log in Appendix F within 7 days following the occurrence of any of the above circumstances. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 8-1 Section 8 Turbidity Benchmark Monitoring for Dewatering Discharges For sites discharging dewatering water to “sensitive waters” (i.e., receiving waters listed as impaired for sediment or a sediment-related parameter (as defined in Appendix A of the CGP), or receiving waters designated as a Tier 2, Tier 2.5, or Tier 3 for antidegradation purposes), turbidity benchmark monitoring is required under Part 3.3 of the CGP. • Sampling of dewatering discharge will be collected from dewatering discharge locations. • Samples will be collected at the beginning of and during dewatering activities to ensure that dewatering discharge is in compliance with Part 3.3 and Part 7.2.8 of the 2022 CGP. • Sample collection will follow Standard Operating Procedures for collection of stormwater and turbidity samples. • Sampling locations will be depicted on a site plan to be submitted with SWPPP inspection forms and quarterly benchmark monitoring submittals to EPA. No dewatering discharges to sensitive waters are proposed. 8.1 Turbidity Benchmark The benchmark threshold for turbidity under the CGP is 50 NTUs, unless EPA has authorized the use of an alternate benchmark in accordance with Part 3.3.2.b. At any time prior to or during coverage under this permit, you may request that EPA approve a benchmark for your site that is higher than 50 NTUs based on information demonstrating that the higher number is the same as the receiving waters’ water quality standard for turbidity. Comparison of turbidity samples to benchmark • Compare the weekly average of turbidity monitoring results to the standard 50 NTU benchmark, or alternate benchmark if approved by EPA. o If the weekly average exceeds the benchmark, conduct follow-up corrective action (in accordance with Part 5.2.2) and document any correction action taken in your Corrective Action Log. • For averaging purposes, a “monitoring week” typically starts with a Monday and ends on Sunday. Once a new monitoring week starts, a new average for that week will be calculated from the monitoring results. • Although not required, if more than one sample is collected from the dewatering discharge, these results will be included in the calculation of the weekly average. • For more than one dewatering discharge point, a weekly average turbidity value will be calculated for each discharge point. Section 8 Inspection and Corrective Action Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 8-2 8.2 Reporting and Recordkeeping Weekly turbidity sampling reports must be sent to EPA within 30 days following the end of each monitoring quarter (refer to Table 8-1 below). If there are monitoring weeks in which there was no dewatering discharge, or if there is a monitoring quarter with no dewatering discharge, this information will be indicated in the monitoring report. In addition, if another Operator associated with the site is conducting turbidity monitoring, that will be included in the monitoring report. TABLE 8-1 Monitoring Quarters and Deadlines for Reporting Turbidity Benchmark Monitoring Data Monitoring Quarter # Months Reporting Deadline (Within 30 days after end of the quarter) 1 January 1 – March 31 April 30 2 April 1 – June 30 July 30 3 July 1 – September 30 October 30 4 October 1 – December 31 January 30 Quarterly turbidity monitoring data will be submitted via EPA’s NPDES eReporting Tool (NeT) unless a waiver has been received from the applicable EPA Regional Office. Monitoring information will be recorded for each day in which monitoring is required. This information will be retained for a period of at least three years from the expiration date of the CGP (February 16, 2027) or from the date authorization is terminated. 9-1 Section 9 Training The following personnel, at a minimum, must receive training: • Personnel who are responsible for the design, installation, maintenance, and/or repair of stormwater controls (including pollution prevention measures). • Personnel responsible for the application and storage of treatment chemicals. • Personnel who are responsible for conducting stormwater inspections. • Personnel who are responsible for taking corrective actions as required. At a minimum the required personnel must be trained to understand the following if related to the scope of their job duties: • The location of all stormwater controls on the site required by this permit, and how they are to be maintained. • The proper procedures to follow with respect to the permit’s pollution prevention requirements. • When and how to conduct inspections, record applicable findings, and take corrective actions.

Yes Title: Senior Environmental Scientist Phone: 508-304-6354 Ext.: Email: AJHoule@tighebond.com   In determining my "action area", I have considered that discharges of pollutants into downstream areas can expand the action area well beyond the footprint of my site and the discharge point(s). I have taken into account the controls I will be implementing to minimize pollutants and the receiving waterbody characteristics (e.g., perennial, intermittent, ephemeral) in determining the extent of physical, chemical, and/or biotic effects of the discharges. I confirm that all receiving waterbodies that could receive pollutants from my site are included in my action area. True  In determining my "action area", I have considered that discharge-related activities must also be accounted for in determining my action area. I understand that discharge-related activities are any activities that cause, contribute to, or result in stormwater and authorized non-stormwater point source discharges, and measures such as the siting, construction timing, and operation of stormwater controls to control, reduce, or prevent pollutants from being discharged. I understand that any new or modified stormwater controls that will have noise or other similar effects, and any disturbances associated with construction of controls, are part of my action area. True Successfully saved your form Determine is ESA-listed species and/or critical habitat are in your site action area. ESA-listed species and designated critical habitat are under the purview of the NMFS and the USFWS, and in many cases, you will need to acquire species and critical habitat lists from both federal agencies.

You may be eligible under Criterion C. You must assess whether your discharges or discharge-related activities are likely to result in short- or long-term adverse effects to ESA-listed threatened or endangered species or designated critical habitat. In order to make a determination of your site's likelihood of short- or long-term adverse effects, you must complete the Criterion C Eligibility fields below. You are eligible under Criterion C. Provide the rationale describing specifically how adverse effects to ESA-listed species will be avoided from the discharge and discharge-related activities. There are no anticipated impacts to the NLEB or sandplain gerardia as a result of the project activities because the critical hab itats for these species is not found within the action area. Additionally all tree-clearing will occur outside of active period f or this species.

Yes Identify the USFWS information sources used (Note: state resources are not acceptable): The United States Fish and Wildlife Service's IPaC online tool was consulted on 1/16/2023 for the presence on threatened and enge ndered species. Upon review, the action area was determined to be within the range of the northern long-eared bat (Myotis serpent rionalis; Endangered) and Sandplain Gerardia (Agalinis acuta; Endangered). It was determined that the action area would not impac t the endangered species as their critical habitat is not present. Although tree-clearing is part of the project, will occur outs ide of the active periods (April-October) for this species. A review of the Massachusetts Natural Heritage & Endangered Species P rogram Priority and Estimated Habitat of Rare Species indicated that the action area is not within mapped Priority or Estimated H abitat.

If you are covered under the 2022 CGP, you can use this template to create a site inspection report form that is customized to the specific circumstances of your site and that complies with the minimum reporting requirements of Part 4.7 of the permit. Note that the use of this form is optional; you may use your own site inspection report form provided it includes the minimum information required in Part 4.7 of the CGP. This template does not address the CGP’s inspection reporting requirements related to dewatering activities. A separate inspection template has been developed specifically for dewatering activities and is available at https://www.epa.gov/npdes/construction-general-permit-resources-tools-and-templates. Keep in mind that this document is a template and not an “off-the-shelf” inspection report that is ready to use without some modification. You must first customize this form to include the specifics of your project in order for it to be useable for your inspection reports. Once you have entered all of your sitespecific information into the blank fields, you may use this form to complete inspection reports. The following tips for using this template will help you ensure that the minimum permit requirements are met: • Review the inspection requirements. Before you start developing your inspection report form, read the CGP’s Part 4 inspection requirements. This will ensure that you have a working understanding of the permit’s underlying inspection requirements. • Complete all required blank fields. Fill out all blank fields. Only by filling out all fields will the template be compliant with the requirements of the permit. (Note: Where you do not need the number of rows provided in the template form for your inspection, you may delete these or cross them off as you see fit. Or, if you need more space to document your findings, you may insert additional rows in the electronic version of this form or use the bottom of the page in the field version of this form.) • Use your site map to document inspection findings. In several places in the template, you are directed to specify the location of certain features of your site, including where stormwater controls are installed and where you will be stabilizing exposed soil. You are also asked to fill in location information for unsafe conditions and the locations of any discharges occurring during your inspections. Where you are asked for location information, EPA encourages you to reference the point on your SWPPP site map that corresponds to the requested location on the inspection form. Using the site map as a tool in this way will help you conduct efficient inspections, will assist you in evaluating problems found, and will ensure proper documentation. • Complete the inspection report within 24 hours of completing a site inspection. You must complete an inspection report in accordance with Part 4.7.1 of the CGP. • Include the inspection form with your SWPPP. Once your form is complete, make sure to include a copy of the inspection form in your SWPPP in accordance with Part 7.2.7.e of the CGP. • Retain copies of all inspection reports with your records. You must also retain in your records copies of all inspection reports in accordance with the requirements in Part 4.7.3 of the CGP. These reports must be retained for at least 3 years from the date your permit coverage expires or is terminated in accordance with the requirements in Part 4.7.4 of the CGP. Instructions for Section A Inspector Name Enter the name of the person that conducted the inspection. Include the person’s contact information (title, affiliated company name, address, email, and phone number). Inspection Date and Time Enter the date you performed the inspection and the time you started and ended the inspection. Weather Conditions During Inspection Enter the weather conditions occurring during the inspection, e.g., sunny, overcast, light rain, heavy rain, snowing, icy, windy. Current Phase of Construction If this project is being completed in more than one phase, indicate which phase it is currently in. Inspection Location If your project has multiple locations where you conduct separate inspections, specify the location where this inspection is being conducted. If only one inspection is conducted for your entire project, enter “Entire Site.” If necessary, complete additional inspection report forms for each separate inspection location. Unsafe Conditions for Inspection (CGP Part 4.5.7) Inspections are not required where a portion of the site or the entire site is subject to unsafe conditions. These conditions should not regularly occur and should not be consistently present on a site. Generally, unsafe conditions are those that render the site (or a portion of it) inaccessible or that would pose a significant probability of injury to applicable personnel. Examples could include severe storm or flood conditions, high winds, and downed electrical wires. If your site, or a portion of it, is affected by unsafe conditions during the time of your inspection, provide a description of the conditions that prevented you from conducting the inspection and what parts of the site were affected. If the entire site was considered unsafe, specify the location as “Entire Site.” Inspection Frequency Check all the inspection frequencies that apply to your project. Note that you may be subject to different inspection frequencies in different areas of your site. Inspection Triggered by a Storm Event If you were required to conduct this inspection because of a storm event that produced 0.25 inches or more of rain within a 24-hour period, indicate whether you relied on an on-site rain gauge or a nearby weather station (and where the weather station is located). Also, specify the total amount of rainfall for this specific storm event. If you were required to conduct this inspection because of a snowmelt discharge from a storm event that produced 3.25 inches or more of snow within a 24hour period, then indicate whether you relied on an on-site measurement or a nearby weather station (and where the weather station is located). Also, specify the total amount of snowfall for this specific storm event. Instructions for Section B Type and Location of Erosion and Sediment (E&S) Controls Provide a list of all erosion and sediment (E&S) controls that your SWPPP indicates will be installed and implemented at your site. This list must include at a minimum all E&S controls required by CGP Part 2.2. Include also any natural buffers established under CGP Part 2.2.1. Buffer requirements apply if your project’s earth-disturbing activities will occur within 50 feet of a discharge to receiving water. You may group your E&S controls on your form if you have several of the same type of controls (e.g., you may group “Inlet Protection Measures,” “Perimeter Controls,” and “Stockpile Controls” together on one line), but if there are any problems with a specific control, you must separately identify the location of the control, whether routine maintenance or corrective action is necessary, and in the notes section you must describe the specifics about the problem you observed. Conditions Requiring Routine Maintenance? Answer “Yes” if the E&S control requires routine maintenance as defined in footnote 1 of this template. Note that in many cases, “Yes” answers are expected and indicate a project with an active operation and maintenance program. You should also answer “Yes” if work to fix the problem is still ongoing from the previous inspection, though necessary work must be initiated immediately and completed by the end of the next business day or within seven calendar days if documented in accordance with CGP Part 2.1.4.b. If “Yes,” How Many Times (Including this Occurrence) Has this Condition Been Identified? Indicate how many times the routine maintenance has been required for the same control at the same location. Conditions Requiring Corrective Action? Answer “Yes” if you found any of the conditions listed in footnote 2 in this template to be present during your inspection (CGP Part 5.1). If you answer “Yes,” you must take corrective action and complete a corrective action log, found at https://www.epa.gov/npdes/construction-general-permit-resources-toolsand-templates. You should also answer “Yes” if work to fix the problem from a previous inspection is still ongoing, though the operator must comply with the corrective action deadlines in CGP Part 5.2. Date on Which Condition First Observed (If Applicable)? Provide the date on which the condition that triggered the need for routine maintenance or corrective action was first identified. If the condition was just discovered during this inspection, enter the inspection date. If the condition is a carryover from a previous inspection, enter the original date of the condition’s discovery. Description of Conditions Observed For each E&S control and the area immediately surrounding it, describe whether the control is properly installed and whether it appears to be working to minimize sediment discharge. Indicate also whether a new or modified control is necessary to comply with the permit. Describe any problem condition(s) you observed such as the following: 1. Failure to install or to properly install a required E&S control 2. Damage or destruction to an E&S control caused by vehicles, equipment, or personnel, a storm event, or other event 3. Mud or sediment deposits found downslope from E&S controls, including in receiving waters, or on nearby streets, curbs, or open conveyance channels 4. Sediment tracked out onto paved areas by vehicles leaving construction site 5. Noticeable erosion or sedimentation at discharge outlets or at adjacent streambanks or channels 6. Erosion of the site’s sloped areas (e.g., formation of rills or gullies) 7. E&S control is no longer working due to lack of maintenance 8. Other incidents of noncompliance Describe also why you think the problem condition(s) occurred as well as actions (e.g., routine maintenance or corrective action) you will take or have taken to fix the problem. For buffer areas, make note of whether they are marked off as required, whether there are signs of construction disturbance within the buffer, which is prohibited under the CGP, and whether there are visible signs of erosion resulting from discharges through the area. If routine maintenance or corrective action is required, briefly note the reason. If routine maintenance or corrective action has been completed, make a note of the date it was completed and what was done. If corrective action is required, note that you will need to complete a separate corrective action log describing the condition and your work to fix the problem. Routine Maintenance Need Has Been Found to be Necessary Three (3) or More Times for the Same Control at the Same Location (Including this Occurrence) If routine maintenance has been required three (3) or more times for the same control at the same location, the permit requires (CGP Part 2.1.4.c) you to fix the problem using the corrective action procedures in CGP Part 5 or to document why you believe the reoccurring problem can be addressed as a routine maintenance fix. If you believe the problem can continue to be fixed as routine maintenance, describe why you believe the specific condition should still be addressed as routine maintenance. Instructions for Section C Type and Location of Pollution Prevention (P2) Practices and Controls Provide a list of all pollution prevention (P2) practices and controls that are implemented at your site. This list must include all P2 practices and controls required by CGP Part 2.3 and those that are described in your SWPPP. Conditions Requiring Routine Maintenance? Answer “Yes” if the P2 practice or control requires routine maintenance as defined in footnote 1of this template. Note that in many cases, “Yes” answers are expected and indicate a project with an active operation and maintenance program. You should also answer “Yes” if work to fix the problem is still ongoing from the previous inspection, though necessary work must be initiated immediately and completed by the end of the next business day or within seven calendar days if documented in accordance with CGP Part 2.1.4.b. If “Yes,” How Many Times (Including this Occurrence) Has this Condition Been Identified? Indicate how many times the routine maintenance has been required for the same practice or control at the same location. Conditions Requiring Corrective Action? Answer “Yes” if you found any of the conditions listed in footnote 2 in this template to be present during your inspection (CGP Part 5.1). If you answer “Yes,” you must take corrective action and complete a corrective action log, found at https://www.epa.gov/npdes/construction-general-permit-resources-toolsand-templates. You should also answer “Yes” if work to fix the problem from a previous inspection is still ongoing, though the operator must comply with the corrective action deadlines in CGP Part 5.2. Date on Which Condition First Observed (If Applicable)? Provide the date on which the condition that triggered the need for maintenance or corrective action was first identified. If the condition was just discovered during this inspection, enter the inspection date. If the condition is a carryover from a previous inspection, enter the original date of the condition’s discovery. Description of Conditions Observed For each P2 control and the area immediately surrounding it, describe whether the control is properly installed, and whether it appears to be working to minimize or eliminate pollutant discharges. Indicate also whether a new or modified control is necessary to comply with the permit. Describe any problem condition(s) you observed such as the following: 1. Failure to install or to properly install a required P2 control 2. Damage or destruction to a P2 control caused by vehicles, equipment, or personnel, or a storm event 3. Evidence of a spill, leak, or other type of pollutant discharge, or failure to have properly cleaned up a previous spill, leak, or other type of pollutant discharge 4. Spill response supplies are absent, insufficient, or not where they are supposed to be located 5. Improper storage, handling, or disposal of chemicals, building materials or products, fuels, or wastes 6. P2 control is no longer working due to lack of maintenance 7. Other incidents of noncompliance Describe also why you think the problem condition(s) occurred as well as actions (e.g., routine maintenance or corrective action) you will take or have taken to fix the problem. If routine maintenance or corrective action is required, briefly note the reason. If routine maintenance or corrective action has been completed, make a note of the date it was completed and what was done. If corrective action is required, note that you will need to complete a separate corrective action log describing the condition and your work to fix the problem. Routine Maintenance Need Was Found to be Necessary Three (3) or More Times for the Same Control at the Same Location (Including this Occurrence) If routine maintenance has been required three (3) or more times for the same control at the same location, the permit requires (CGP Part 2.1.4.c) you to fix the problem using the corrective action procedures in CGP Part 5 or to document why you believe the reoccurring problem can be addressed as a routine maintenance fix. If you believe the problem can continue to be fixed as routine maintenance, describe why you believe the specific condition should still be addressed as routine maintenance. Instructions for Section D Specific Location That Has Been or Will Be Stabilized List all areas where soil stabilization is required to begin because construction work in that area has permanently stopped or temporarily stopped (i.e., work will stop for 14 or more days), and all areas where stabilization has been implemented (CGP Part 2.2.14). Stabilization Method and Applicable Deadline For each area, specify the method of stabilization (e.g., hydroseed, sod, planted vegetation, erosion control blanket, mulch, rock). Specify also which of the following stabilization deadlines apply to this location: 1. 5 acres or less of land disturbance occurring at any one time at site: Complete no later than 14 calendar days after stabilization initiated. 2. More than 5 acres of land disturbance occurring at any one time at site: Complete no later than 7 calendar days after stabilization initiated. 3. Arid, semi-arid, and drought-stricken areas: See CGP Part 2.2.14.b.i. 4. Unforeseen circumstances: See CGP Part 2.2.14.b.ii. 5. Discharges to a sediment- or nutrient-impaired water or to a water identified as Tier 2, 2.5, or 3 for antidegradation purposes: Complete no later than 7 days after stabilization initiated. Stabilization Initiated? For each area, indicate whether stabilization has been initiated. If “Yes,” then enter the date stabilization was initiated. Final Stabilization Criteria Met? For each area, indicate whether the final stabilization criteria in CGP Part 2.2.14.c have been met. If “Yes,” then enter the date final stabilization criteria were met. Final Stabilization Photos Taken? Answer “Yes” if you have taken photos before and after meeting the stabilization criteria as required in CGP Part 8.2.1.a. Notes For each area where stabilization has been initiated, describe the progress that has been made and what additional actions are necessary to complete stabilization. Note the effectiveness of stabilization in preventing erosion. If stabilization has been initiated but not completed, make a note of the date it is to be completed. If stabilization has been completed, make a note of the date it was completed. If stabilization has not yet been initiated, make a note of the date it is to be initiated and the date it is to be completed. Instructions for Section E You are only required to complete this section if a discharge is occurring at the time of the inspection (CGP Part 4.6.2). Was a discharge (not including dewatering) occurring from any part of your site at the time of the inspection? During your inspection, examine all points of discharge from your site, and determine whether a discharge is occurring. If a dewatering discharge was occurring, you must conduct a dewatering inspection pursuant to CGP Part 4.3.2. If there is a discharge, answer “Yes” and complete the questions below regarding the specific discharge. If there is not a discharge, answer “No” and skip to the next page. Discharge Location (Repeat as necessary if there are multiple points of discharge.) Specify the location on your site where the discharge is occurring. The location may be an outlet from a stormwater control or constructed stormwater channel, a discharge into a storm sewer inlet, or a specific point on the site. Be as specific as possible; it is recommended that you refer to a precise point on your site map. Observations Document the visual quality of the discharge and take note of the characteristics of the stormwater discharge, including color; odor; floating, settled, or suspended solids; foam; oily sheen; and other indicators of stormwater pollutants. Also, document signs of these same pollutant characteristics that are visible from your site and attributable to your discharge in receiving waters or in other constructed or natural site drainage features. Instructions for Section F Each inspection report must be signed and certified to be considered complete (CGP Part 4.7.2). Operator or “Duly Authorized Representative” – MANDATORY (CGP Appendix G Part G.11.2 and CGP Appendix H Section X) At a minimum, the site inspection report must be signed by either (1) the person who signed the NOI, or (2) a duly authorized representative of that person. The following requirements apply: If the signatory will be the person who signed the NOI for permit coverage, as a reminder, that person must be one of the following types of individuals: • For a corporation: By a responsible corporate officer. For the purpose of this subsection, a responsible corporate officer means: (i) a president, secretary, treasurer, or vice-president of the corporation in charge of a principal business function, or any other person who performs similar policy- or decisionmaking functions for the corporation, or (ii) the manager of one or more manufacturing, production, or operating facilities, provided, the manager is authorized to make management decisions which govern the operation of the regulated facility including having the explicit or implicit duty of making major capital investment recommendations, and initiating and directing other comprehensive measures to assure long term environmental compliance with environmental laws and regulations; the manager can ensure that the necessary systems are established or actions taken to gather complete and accurate information for permit application requirements; and where authority to sign documents has been assigned or delegated to the manager in accordance with corporate procedures. • For a partnership or sole proprietorship: By a general partner or the proprietor, respectively. • For a municipality, State, Federal, or other public agency: By either a principal executive officer or ranking elected official. For purposes of this subsection, a principal executive officer of a Federal agency includes (i) the chief executive officer of the agency, or (ii) a senior executive officer having responsibility for the overall operations of a principal geographic unit of the agency (e.g., Regional Administrator of EPA). If the signatory will be a duly authorized representative, the following requirements must be met: • The authorization is made in writing by the person who signed the NOI (see above); • The authorization specifies either an individual or a position having responsibility for the overall operation of the regulated facility or activity such as the position of plant manager, operator of a well or a well field, superintendent, position of equivalent responsibility, or an individual or position having overall responsibility for environmental matters for the company. (A duly authorized representative may thus be either a named individual or any individual occupying a named position); and • The signed and dated written authorization is included in the SWPPP. A copy must be submitted to EPA, if requested. Sign, date and print your name and affiliation. Contractor or Subcontractor - OPTIONAL Where you rely on a contractor or subcontractor to complete the site inspection report, you should consider requiring the individual(s) to sign and certify each report. Note that this does not relieve you, the permitted operator, of the requirement to sign and certify the site inspection report as well. If applicable, sign, date, and print your name and affiliation. Note While EPA has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of all instructions contained in this template, it is the permit, not this template, that determines the actual obligations of regulated construction stormwater discharges. In the event of a conflict between this template and any corresponding provision of the CGP, you must abide by the requirements in the permit.

If you are covered under the 2022 CGP, you can use this template to create a dewatering inspection report form that complies with the minimum reporting requirements of Part 4.6.3 of the permit. Note that the use of this form is optional; you may use your own inspection report form provided it includes the minimum information required in Part 4.6.3 of the CGP. This template is for dewatering inspections only. A separate site inspection report template that does not include dewatering inspections and complies with the minimum reporting requirements of Part 4.7 of the permit is available at https://www.epa.gov/npdes/construction-general-permit-resources-tools-andtemplates. If you are covered under a State CGP, this template may be helpful in developing a report that can be used for that permit; however, it will need to be modified to meet the specific requirements of that permit. If your permitting authority requires you to use a specific inspection report form, you should not use this form. The following tips for using this template will help you ensure that the minimum permit requirements are met: • Review the inspection requirements. Before you start developing your inspection report form, read the CGP’s Part 4 inspection requirements. This will ensure that you have a working understanding of the permit’s underlying inspection requirements. • Complete all required blank fields. Fill out all blank fields. Only by filling out all fields will the template be compliant with the requirements of the permit. (Note: Where you do not need the number of rows provided in the template form for your inspection, you may delete these as you see fit. Or, if you need more space to document your findings, you may insert additional rows in the electronic version of this form or use the bottom of the page in the field version of this form.) • Use your site map to document inspection findings. In several places in the template, you are directed to specify the location of certain features of your site, including where stormwater controls are installed and where you will be stabilizing exposed soil. You are also asked to fill in location information for unsafe conditions and the locations of any discharges occurring during your inspections. Where you are asked for location information, EPA encourages you to reference the point on your SWPPP site map that corresponds to the requested location on the inspection form. Using the site map as a tool in this way will help you conduct efficient inspections, will assist you in evaluating problems found, and will ensure proper documentation. • Include the inspection form with your SWPPP. Once your form is complete, make sure to include a copy of the inspection form in your SWPPP in accordance with Part 7.2.7.e of the CGP. • Retain copies of all inspection reports with your records. You must also retain copies of all inspection reports in your records in accordance with the requirements in Part 4.7.3 of the CGP. These reports must be retained for at least 3 years from the date your permit coverage expires or is terminated in accordance with the requirements in Part 4.7.4 of the CGP. Instructions for Section A Inspector Name Enter the name of the person that conducted the inspection. Include the person’s contact information (title, affiliated company name, address, email, and phone number). Inspection Date Enter the date you performed the inspection. Inspection Location If your project has multiple locations where you conduct separate dewatering inspections, specify the location where this inspection is being conducted. Otherwise, you can enter “dewatering operation.” Discharge Start and End Times Enter the approximate time the dewatering discharge started and ended on the day of the inspection. Rate of Discharge Enter the rate of discharge in gallons per day on the day of inspection. To estimate the approximate discharge rate on the day of dewatering inspection, one approach is to use the manufacturer’s design pump rating for the pump model in use. For example, a pump rated at 164 gpm (gallons per minute) by the manufacturer can be assumed to be discharging at 164 gpm in most cases. To convert to gallons per day, multiply the rate in gpm by the ratio of minutes in one-day (1,440 minutes per day), resulting in a discharge rate of 236,160 gallons per day. In cases where the dewatering discharge is being pumped over long distances or a substantial distance uphill, which will result in a reduced pump rate relative to manufacturer’s specification, the operator may improve the accuracy of the estimate by estimating the time required to fill a container of a known volume. For example, if it takes 60 seconds to fill an empty 55-gallon barrel, the estimated discharge rate is 55 gpm, or 79,200 gallons per day. Indicators of Pollutant Discharge For the point of discharge, describe any observed sediment plume, suspended solids, unusual color, presence of odor, decreased clarity, or presence of foam; and/or a visible sheen on the water surface or visible oily deposits on the bottom or shoreline of the receiving water. Corrective Action Required? Answer “Yes” if during your inspection you found any of the conditions listed above in the instructions for the Indicators of Pollutant Discharge section. If you answer “Yes,” you must take corrective action and complete a corrective action log, found at https://www.epa.gov/npdes/construction-general-permitresources-tools-and-templates. Answer “No” if you did not observe any of the listed pollutant indicators. Photographs As required in CGP Part 8.2.1.a, attach photos of: (1) dewatering water prior to treatment by a dewatering control(s) and the final discharge after treatment; (2) the dewatering control(s); and (3) the point of discharge to any receiving waters flowing through or immediately adjacent to the site and/or to constructed or natural site drainage features, storm drain inlets, and other conveyances to receiving waters. Instructions for Section B Each inspection report must be signed and certified to be considered complete (CGP Part 4.7.2). Operator or “Duly Authorized Representative” – MANDATORY (CGP Appendix G Part G.11.2 and CGP Appendix H Section X) At a minimum, the dewatering inspection report must be signed by either (1) the person who signed the NOI, or (2) a duly authorized representative of that person.

For each triggering condition on your site, you will need to fill out a separate corrective action log. The entire form must be completed to be compliant with the requirements of the permit. (Note: In Section C, if you do not need the number of rows provided in the corrective action log, you may delete these or cross them off. Alternatively, if you need more space to describe any modifications, you may insert additional rows in the electronic version of this form or use the bottom of the page in the field version of this form.) If you are covered under a State CGP, this template may be helpful in developing a log that can be used for that permit; however, you will likely need to modify this form to meet the specific requirements of any State-issued permit. If your permitting authority requires you to use a specific corrective action log, you should not use this template. Instructions for Section A Individual completing this form Enter the name of the person completing this log. Include the person’s contact information (title, affiliated company name, address, email, and phone number). Instructions for Section B You must complete Section B within 24 hours of discovering the condition that triggered corrective action. (CGP Part 5.4) When was the problem first discovered? Specify the date and time when the triggering condition was first discovered. What site conditions triggered this corrective action? (CGP Parts 5.1 and 5.3) Check the box corresponding to the numbered triggering condition below that applies to your site. 1. A stormwater control needs a significant repair or a new or replacement control is needed, or, in accordance with Part Error! Reference source not found., you find it necessary to repeatedly (i.e., 3 or more times) conduct the same routine maintenance fix to the same control at the same location (unless you document in your inspection report under Part Error! Reference source not found. that the specific reoccurrence of this same problem should still be addressed as a routine maintenance fix under Part Error! Reference source not found.); 2. A stormwater control necessary to comply with the requirements of this permit was never installed, or was installed incorrectly; 3. Your discharges are not meeting applicable water quality standards; 4. A prohibited discharge has occurred (see Part 1.3); 5. During discharge from site dewatering activities: a. The weekly average of your turbidity monitoring results exceeds the 50 NTU benchmark (or alternate benchmark if approved by EPA pursuant to Part Error! Reference source not found.); or b. You observe or you are informed by EPA, State, or local authorities of the presence of any of the following at the point of discharge to a receiving water flowing through or immediately adjacent to your site and/or to constructed or natural site drainage features or storm drain inlets: • sediment plume • suspended solids • unusual color • presence of odor • decreased clarity • presence of foam • visible sheen on the water surface or visible oily deposits on the bottom or shoreline of the receiving water 6. EPA requires corrective action as a result of permit violations found during an inspection carried out under Part 4.8. Provide a description of the problem (CGP Part 5.4.1.a) Provide a summary description of the condition you found that triggered corrective action, the cause of the problem (if identifiable), and the specific location where it was found. Be as specific as possible about the location; it is recommended that you refer to a precise point on your site map. Instructions for Section C You must complete Section C within 24 hours after completing the correction action. (CGP Part 5.4) Deadlines for completing corrective action for condition # 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 (if not relating to a dewatering discharge) (CGP Part 5.2.1) Check the box to confirm that you met the deadlines that apply to each triggering condition. You are always required to check the first box (i.e., Immediately took all reasonable steps to address the condition, including cleaning up any contaminated surfaces so the material will not discharge in subsequent storm events.). Only one of the next three boxes should be checked depending on the situation that applies to this corrective action. Check the second box if the corrective action for this particular triggering condition does not require a new or replacement control, or a significant repair. These actions must be completed by the close of the next business day from the time of discovery of the condition. Check the third box if the corrective action for this particular triggering condition requires a new or replacement control, or a significant repair. These actions must be completed by no later than seven calendar days from the time of discover of the condition. Check the fourth box if the corrective action for this particular triggering condition requires a new or replacement control, or a significant repair, and if it is infeasible to complete the work within seven calendar days. Additionally, you will need to fill out the table below the checkbox that requires: 1. An explanation as to why it was infeasible to complete the installation or repair within seven calendar days of discovering the condition. 2. Provide the schedule you will adhere to for installing the stormwater control and making it operational as soon as feasible after the seventh day following discovery.

Federal and non-Federal project proponents have responsibilities under the Act to consider effects on listed species.   The enclosed species list identifies  threatened, endangered, proposed, and candidate species, as  well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, a s amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).   New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and  implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested by returning to an existing project’s page in IPaC.  Endangered Species Act Project Review Please visit the “New England Field Office Endangered Species Project Review and Consultation” website for step-by-step instructions on how to consider effects on listed  01/16/2023   2     species and prepare and submit a project review pac kage if necessary:  https://www.fws.gov/office/new-england-ecological-services/endangered-species-project-review *NOTE* Please do not use the Consultation Package Builder tool in IPaC except in spe cific  situations following coordination with our office. Please follow the project review guidance on  our website instead and reference your Project Code in all correspondence.  Northern Long-eare d Bat - (Updated 12/27/2022) Please visit our New England Field Office Project Review webpage at the link above for updated northern long-eared bat consultation guidance. The Service published a final rule to reclassify the northern long-eared bat (NLEB) as endangered on November 30, 2022. The final rule will go into effect on January 30, 2023. After that date, the current 4(d) rule for NLEB will no longer be in effect, and the 4(d) determination key will no longer be available. New compliance tools will be available by mid- to late-January, and information will be posted on our New England Field Office Project Review webpage in January, so please check this site often for updates.   Depending on the type of effects a project has on NLE B, the change in the species’ status may  trigger the need to re-initiate consultation for any actions that are not completed and for which the Federal action agency retains discretion once the new listing determination becomes effective.  If your project may result in incidental take of NLEB after the new listing goes into  effect, this will need to be addressed in an updated consultation that includes an Incidental Take Statement. Many of these situations will be addressed through the new compliance tools. If your project may require re-initiation of consultation, please wait for information on the new tools to appear on our website or contact our office at newengland@fws.gov for additional guidance.  Additional Info About Section 7 of the A ct  Under section 7(a)(2) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal  agencies are required to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. If a Federal agency, or its non-Federal  representative, determines that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by  the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Federal agency also may need to consider proposed species and proposed critical  habitat in the consultation. 50 CFR 402.14(c)(1) specifies the information required for  consultation under the Act regardless of the format of the evaluation. More information on the  regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at:  https://www.fws.gov/se rvice/section-7-consultations In addition to consultation requirements under Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA, please note that under  sections 7(a)(1) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered species. Please contact NEFO if you would lik e more information.  Candidate species that appear on the enclosed species list have no current protections under the  01/16/2023   3     ▪ ESA. The species’ occurrence on an official species list d oes not convey a requirement to  consider impacts to this species as you would a proposed, threatened, or endangered species. The ESA does not provide for interagency consultations on candidate species under section 7, however, the Service recommends that all project proponents incorporate measures into projects  to benefit candidate species and their habitats wherever possible.  Migratory Birds  In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to protect native birds from project-related impacts.

Dear Katarzyna Kos: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) received on January 13, 2023 your effects determination for the 'Eversource ERP Staging Yard' (the Action) using the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) key within the Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) system. You indicated that no Federal agencies are involved in funding or authorizing this Action. This IPaC key assists users in determining whether a non-Federal action may cause “take”[1] of the northern long-eared bat that is prohibited under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) (87 Stat.884, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Based upon your IPaC submission, any take of the northern long-eared bat that may occur as a result of the Action is not prohibited under the ESA Section 4(d) rule adopted for this species at 50 CFR §17.40(o). Unless the Service advises you within 30 days of the date of this letter that your IPaC-assisted determination was incorrect, this letter verifies that the Action is not likely to result in unauthorized take of the northern long-eared bat. Please report to our office any changes to the information about the Action that you entered into IPaC, the results of any bat surveys conducted in the Action area, and any dead, injured, or sick northern long-eared bats that are found during Action implementation. If your Action proceeds as described and no additional information about the Action’s effects on species protected under the ESA becomes available, no further coordination with the Service is required with respect to the northern long-eared bat. The IPaC-assisted determination for the northern long-eared bat does not apply to the following ESA-protected species that also may occur in your Action area: Monarch Butterfly Danaus plexippus Candidate 01/13/2023   2     ▪ Sandplain Gerardia Agalinis acuta Endangered You may coordinate with our Office to determine whether the Action may cause prohibited take of the animal species listed above. ________________________________________________ [1]Take means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct [ESA Section 3(19)]. 01/13/2023   3     Action Description You provided to IPaC the following name and description for the subject Action. 1.

Complete these tables using the process outlined on our website: http://fws.gov/office/new-england-ecological-services/endangered-species-project-review 2. The Species Determination Table is used to document determinations, but additional information regarding the action area, project description, potential effects to the species/resource, conservation actions, and how you made your determination is required as part of a Project Review Package if a “may affect” determination is reached. See our website for more information. Notes for Listed Species (Threatened or Endangered) or Proposed Species: • If you determine “No Effect” no further consultation is necessary, and you may use this table for your records. • If you determine “May Affect, not likely to adversely affect,” (NLAA) submit a Project Review Package. • If you determine “May Affect, likely to adversely affect” (LAA), contact us to either initiate formal consultation or initiate discussion on ways to avoid adverse effects. Notes for Candidate Species: • There are no protections for candidate species under the ESA and therefore no requirement for consultation. No section 7 determinations should be made for candidate species. • You may consider implementing voluntary conservation measures if suitable habitat is present or species is known to occur in action area. Notes for Critical Habitat: • Essential physical and biological features (PBFs) can be found in Recovery Plans or federal register notices regarding Critical Habitat designations • If designated Critical Habitat PBFs are not present in the action area, you may determine “No Effect” and no further consultation is necessary. • If designated Critical Habitat PBFs are present in the action area, and you determine “May Affect, not likely to adversely affect,” (NLAA) submit a Project Review Package. • If designated Critical Habitat PBFs are present in the action area and you believe that adverse effects may occur, please contact our office. “Adverse modification” is a direct or indirect alteration that appreciably diminishes the value of critical habitat for the conservation of a listed species. Such alterations may include, but are not limited to, alteration of the physical or biological features essential to the conservation of a species or that preclude or significantly delay development of such features. This determination requires formal consultation with the Service.

Threatened Northern Longeared Bat (Myotis septenrionalis) Suitable habitat not present Note: This bat generally is associated with old-growth forests composed of trees 100 years old or older. It relies on intact interior forest habitat, with low edge-tointerior ratios. Species not present Work will be completed in the winter and spring months which is outside of the nesting period of this species (Late March through October). Additionally, turtle sweeps will be completed in all work areas and any sightings will be reported. Erosion and sedimentation control measures will be implemented to avoid adverse impacts to potential turtle habitat. NLAA This species ecological information was reviewed on NatureServe Explorer to determine that suitable habitat may be present. There are no known records of species in action area. Additionally, an assessment of the FWS determined that no hibernaculum or maternity roost trees are present in the project area. A review of the Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program spatial data (August 2021) determined that the action area is not within mapped Priority Habitats of Rare Species or Estimated Habitats of Rare Wildlife. Endangered Sandplain Gerardia (Agalinis acuta) Suitable habitat potentially present. Note: Habitat includes dry, sandy, short grass plains, roadsides, and openings in oak scrub. The species is dependent on periodic disturbance that maintains an open habitat. Don’t know Tree clearing will be completed in the winter months as to not disturb the active growing season. Erosion and sedimentation control measures will be implemented to avoid adverse impacts to potential species habitat. NLAA This species ecological information was reviewed on NatureServe Explorer to determine that suitable habitat may be present. There are no known records of species in action area. Additionally, there is no designated critical habitat present in the action area. Two populations were identified in the Cape Cod region.

Box 95 Concord, NH 03302-0095. 9.1.2 MAR100000 Commonwealth of Massachusetts (except Indian country) All discharges covered by the Construction General Permit shall comply with the provisions pursuant to 314 CMR 3.00, 314 CMR 4.00, 314 CMR 9.00, including applicable construction stormwater standards and 310 CMR 10.00. Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a)6., and in accordance with MassDEP’s obligation under 314 CMR 4.05(5)(e) to maintain surface waters free from pollutants in concentrations or combinations that are toxic to humans, aquatic life, or wildlife, permittees are prohibited from discharging dewatering water under the CGP from sites that are designated as Superfund/CERCLA or RCRA, and must make accommodations to dispose of the dewatering discharges appropriately, such as coverage under the Remediation General Permit (RGP). Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a), and in accordance with MassDEP’s obligation to protect Outstanding Resource Waters under 314 CMR 4.04(3), applicants seeking coverage under the 2022 CGP that propose to carry out construction activities near Outstanding Resource Waters as identified in 314 CMR 4.06, shall submit to MassDEP for review: a copy of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), a copy of the EPA NOI, and MassDEP’s Stormwater BMP Checklist. For purposes of this review, the permittee shall submit these documents to MassDEP at the same time they are submitted to EPA. Instructions on how to submit these documents to MassDEP and where to find the MassDEP Stormwater BMP Checklist and obtain authorization to discharge can be found here: https://www.mass.gov/how-to/wm-15-npdes-general-permitnotice-of- intent. Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a)6., and in accordance with MassDEP’s obligation under 314 CMR 4.05(5)(e) to maintain surface waters free from pollutants in concentrations or combinations that are toxic to humans, aquatic life, or wildlife, applicants that propose to dewater under the 2022 CGP and plan to discharge to certain waters as described below, shall determine that any dewatering discharges are not contaminated by testing the proposed discharge as described below as part of the application for WM15 authorization. Unless otherwise specified, testing described in this section should be conducted using the methods in 40 CFR 136. Applicants for sites that plan to discharge to Outstanding Resource Waters as identified in 314 CMR 4.06 shall test one sample of the proposed dewatering discharge water for pH, E. Coli (for discharges to freshwater), fecal coliform (for 2022 Construction General Permit (CGP) Page 54 discharges to salt water), Enterococci (for discharges to salt water), total suspended solids, oil and grease, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and all parameters with numeric criteria listed in the Massachusetts Surface Water Quality Standards at 314 CMR 4.05(e). Results shall be reported to MassDEP as part of the WM15 application. To determine if the dewatering discharge could be covered under the 2022 CGP, the effluent at zero dilution must meet numeric water quality criteria. If the effluent does not meet numeric water quality criteria, the applicant shall contact EPA Region 1 to discuss coverage under the Remediation General Permit. Applicants for sites that propose to discharge to Public Water Supplies (314 CMR 4.06(1)(d)1) shall also test one sample of the proposed dewatering discharge water for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), as outlined in the table below. Results shall be reported to MassDEP as part of the WM15 application. If any PFAS compounds are detected, the applicant shall apply for coverage under the NPDES Remediation General Permit for Massachusetts if required. PFAS Testing Parameters for Discharges to Public Drinking Water Supplies99 Perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS), grab Report ng/L Perfluoroheptanoic acid (PFHpA), grab Report ng/L Perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), grab Report ng/L Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), grab Report ng/L Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), grab Report ng/L Perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA), grab Report ng/L 99 PFAS testing shall follow established EPA methods 537 or 537.1 for drinking water until EPA Method 3512 for non- potable water becomes available. Applicants for sites that propose to discharge to an impaired water as identified in the most recent final Massachusetts Integrated List of Waters, shall test one sample of the proposed dewatering discharge water for the parameter(s) for which the waterbody is impaired. To determine if the dewatering discharge could be covered under the 2022 CGP, the effluent at zero dilution must meet numeric water quality criteria. If the effluent does not meet numeric water quality criteria, the applicant shall contact EPA Region 1 to discuss coverage under the Remediation General Permit and shall apply for RGP coverage if required. For dewatering discharges to all other waters, if any pollutants are known or believed present in the proposed dewatering discharge water, the applicant shall apply for coverage under the NPDES Remediation General Permit for Massachusetts if required. For the purposes of this condition, a pollutant is “known present” if measured above the analytical detection limit using a sufficiently sensitive test method in an environmental sample, and “believed present” if a pollutant has not been measured in an environmental sample but will be added or generated prior to discharge, such as through a treatment process. Consequently, a pollutant is “known absent” if measured as non-detect relative to the analytical detection limit using a sufficiently sensitive test method in an environmental sample, and “believed absent” if a pollutant has not been measured in an environmental sample but will not be added or generated prior to discharge and is not a parameter that applies to the applicable activity category for a site. If any pollutants are known or believed present in the 2022 Construction General Permit (CGP) Page 55 proposed dewatering discharge water, the applicant shall test one sample of the proposed dewatering discharge water for the pollutants known or believed to be present. To determine if the dewatering discharge could be covered under the 2022 CGP, the effluent at zero dilution must meet numeric water quality criteria. If the effluent does not meet numeric water quality criteria, the applicant shall contact EPA Region 1 to discuss coverage under the Remediation General Permit. Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a), and in accordance with MassDEP’s obligation to protect Outstanding Resource Waters under 314 CMR 4.04(3), applicants that propose to dewater under the 2022 CGP and discharge to Outstanding Resource Waters as identified in 314 CMR 4.06, shall submit the SWPPP and associated documents to MassDEP to review. MassDEP shall complete review within 30 days of receipt. Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a)6., and in accordance with MassDEP’s obligation under 314 CMR 4.05 to maintain surface waters free from color and turbidity in concentrations or combinations that are aesthetically objectionable or would impair any use assigned to the waterbody, permittees that have been authorized to dewater under the 2022 CGP and that discharge to Outstanding Resource Waters as identified in 314 CMR 4.06 shall carry out daily benchmark monitoring for turbidity100 for the duration of dewatering. Permittees shall compare the weekly average of the turbidity monitoring results with the established benchmark turbidity value of 25 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU). If a permittee’s weekly average turbidity results exceed the benchmark, the operator shall conduct follow-up corrective action to determine the source of the problem and to make any necessary repairs or upgrades to the dewatering controls to lower the turbidity levels. The permittee shall document any corrective action taken in its corrective action log. Furthermore, permittees at these sites shall carry out inspections at higher frequency, specifically, daily inspections of the dewatering discharge treatment for the duration of the discharge. The permittee shall inspect the site for sediment plume or whether a hydrocarbon sheen is visible at the point of discharge, estimate the flow rate at the point of discharge, and inspect the site downstream to assess whether sedimentation is attributable to the dewatering discharges. 100 Applicants shall follow EPA Method 180.1 to monitor for turbidity Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a)6., and in accordance with MassDEP’s obligation under 314 CMR 4.05 to maintain surface waters free from color and turbidity in concentrations or combinations that are aesthetically objectionable or would impair any use assigned to the waterbody, permittees shall store materials outside the Base Flood Elevation101 when feasible to prevent displacing runoff and erosion. 101 Base Flood Elevation (BFE) is the elevation of surface water resulting from a flood that has a 1% chance of equaling or exceeding that level in any given year. The BFE is shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for zones AE, AH, A1–A30, AR, AR/A, AR/AE, AR/A1– A30, AR/AH, AR/AO, V1–V30 and VE. (Source: https://www.fema.gov/node/404233). Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a), and in accordance with MassDEP’s obligation to maintain surface waters free from nutrients in concentrations that would cause or contribute to impairment of existing or designated uses under 314 CMR 4.05(5)(c), all applicants who apply for coverage under the 2022 CGP shall follow guidelines on fertilizer application, including use of fertilizer containing no phosphorus, in accordance with 330 CMR 31.00 Plant Nutrient Application Requirements for 2022 Construction General Permit (CGP) Page 56 Agricultural Land and Non-Agricultural Turf and Lawns. Further, fertilizer shall never be applied to a site when a rain event greater than 0.5 inches is forecast in the next 48 hours. Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a), all applicants who apply for coverage under the 2022 CGP and elect to carry out site inspections every 14 days shall also inspect sites within 24 hours of 0.25 inches of precipitation events or greater over 24 hours, or within 24 hours of a discharge that occurred due to snowmelt from 3.25 inches or greater of snow accumulation.102 During the high flow periods in spring (i.e., months of April to June), inspection frequency shall be increased to once per week for all sites. 102 This is the amount of snow that is equivalent to 0.25 inches of rain, based on information from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) indicating that 13 inches of snow is, on average, equivalent to 1 inch of rain. See https://www.nssl.noaa.gov/education/svrwx101/winter/faq/. To determine whether 3.25 inches or greater of snow accumulation has occurred at a site, snowfall measurements can be taken at the site,103 or the operator can rely on similar information from a local weather forecast. 103 NOAA’s National Weather Service has guidelines on snowfall measurements at https://www.weather.gov/jkl/snow_measurement. These guidelines recommend use of a “snowboard” (a piece of wood about 16 inches by 16 inches) that is placed in an unobstructed part of the site on a hard surface. Implementing structural improvements, enhanced/resilient pollution prevention measures, and other mitigation measures can help to minimize impacts from stormwater discharges from major storm events such as hurricanes, storm surge, extreme/heavy precipitation,104 and flood events. Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a), if such stormwater control measures are already in place due to existing requirements mandated by other state, local or federal agencies, the SWPPP shall include a brief description of the controls and a reference to the existing requirement(s). If the site may be exposed to or has previously experienced such major storm events105, additional stormwater control measures that may be considered, and implemented as necessary, include, but are not limited to: 104 Heavy precipitation refers to instances during which the amount of rain or snow experienced in a location substantially exceeds what is normal. What constitutes a period of heavy precipitation varies according to location and season. Heavy precipitation does not necessarily mean the total amount of precipitation at a location has increased— just that precipitation is occurring in more intense or more frequent events. 105 To determine if your facility is susceptible to an increased frequency of major storm events that could impact the discharge of pollutants in stormwater, you may reference FEMA, NOAA, or USGS flood map products at https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/where-can-i-find-flood-maps?qtnews_science_products=0#qtnews_science_products. Reinforce materials storage structures to withstand flooding and additional exertion of force; Prevent floating of semi-stationary structures by elevating to the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) level or securing with non-corrosive device; When a delivery of exposed materials is expected, and a storm is anticipated within 48 hours, delay delivery until after the storm or store materials as appropriate (refer to emergency procedures); 2022 Construction General Permit (CGP) Page 57 Temporarily store materials and waste above the Base Flood Elevation [EPA notes that it has deleted a footnote reference to the term “Base Flood Elevation” since the same footnote is already included in Part 9.1.2.g, above.] level; Temporarily reduce or eliminate outdoor storage; Temporarily relocate any mobile vehicles and equipment to higher ground; Develop scenario-based emergency procedures for major storms that are complementary to regular stormwater pollution prevention planning and identify emergency contacts for staff and contractors; and Conduct staff training for implementing your emergency procedures at regular intervals. Pursuant to 314 CMR 3.11 (2)(a)6., and in accordance with MassDEP’s obligation under 314 CMR 4.05(5)(e) to maintain surface waters free from pollutants in concentrations or combinations that are toxic to humans, aquatic life, or wildlife, permittees who seek coverage under the 2022 CGP and anticipate to carry out dust control shall limit their dust control methodology to using water only and specifically avoid using other techniques, such as solutions containing calcium chloride. If MassDEP requests a copy of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for any construction site at any time, the permittee shall submit the SWPPP to MassDEP within 14 days of such a request. MassDEP may conduct an inspection of any site covered by this permit to ensure compliance with state law requirements, including state water quality standards. 9.1.3 MTR10F000 Areas in the State of Vermont located at a federal facility Earth disturbance at any one time is limited to five acres. All areas of earth disturbance must have temporary or final stabilization within 14 days of the initial disturbance. After this time, disturbed areas must be temporarily or permanently stabilized in advance of any runoff producing event. A runoff producing event is an event that produces runoff from the construction site. Temporary stabilization is not required if precipitation is not forecast and work is to continue in the next 24-hours or if the work is occurring in a self-contained excavation (i.e. no outlet) with a depth of two feet or greater (e.g. house foundation excavation, utility trenches). Areas of a construction site that drain to sediment basins are not considered eligible for this exemption, and the exemption applies only to the excavated area itself. Site inspections on active construction sites shall be conducted daily during the period from October 15 through April 15. The use of chemical treatments (e.g. polymers, flocculants, and coagulants) for the settling and/or removal of sediment from stormwater runoff associated with construction and construction-related activities requires prior written approval and an approved site and project-specific plan, from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources. In addition, the use of cationic polymers is prohibited unless approved by the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources under a site and project-specific plan. Any applicant under EPA’s CGP shall allow authorized Vermont Agency of Natural Resources representatives, at reasonable times and upon presentation of credentials, to enter upon the project site for purposes of inspecting the project and determining APPENDIX N APPENDIX O Best Management Practices Manual for Massachusetts and Connecticut APRIL 2022 Prepared for: Eversource Energy Environmental

Section 1 Introduction 1.1 Purpose As a matter of Eversource Energy (herein, “Eversource”) policy with regard to environmental stewardship and in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations, all construction and maintenance projects shall use environmentally sound best management practices (BMPs) to minimize or eliminate environmental impacts that may result from construction activities. Regardless of whether a specific permit is needed for the work, construction and maintenance projects must follow internal environmental performance standards, which is the purpose of these BMPs. In many cases, maintenance activities are exempt from regulatory authorization. Permits are usually required for new work. Contractors will be provided with copies of any projectspecific permits and will be required to adhere to any and all conditions of the permit(s). Project-specific permit conditions may supersede the BMPs outlined in this manual. However, where certain construction elements are not addressed by permit conditions, or where permitting is not required, or for emergency situations where obtaining a permit before the work occurs may not be feasible, these BMPs shall be considered as Eversource’s standards. In some cases, and at the discretion of the Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting staff, the BMPs presented herein may be modified to be more appropriate for site-specific conditions. 1.2 Scope and Applicability These BMPs primarily address the disturbance of soil, water, and vegetation incidental to construction within on- and off-road utility corridors, substations, including the establishment of access roads and work areas, within rights of way (ROWs) and on private property, in and near wetlands, watercourses, or other sensitive natural areas (such as protected species), including storm drain systems (e.g., catch basins). Types of construction include, but are not limited to, installation or maintenance of underground and overhead utilities, access road repair/improvement or construction, and upgrades or maintenance of substations and other facilities. Other common construction issues such as noise, air pollution, oil spill procedures, handling of contaminated soils, and work safety rules are addressed in the Eversource Energy Contractor Work Rules and related appendices. 1.3 Definitions The following definitions are provided to clarify use of common terms throughout this document. Best Management Practice (BMP): A means to reduce and minimize impact to natural resources. Casing: A galvanized steel corrugated pipe that serves as the form for a utility structure foundation. Section 1 Introduction Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 1-2 Emergency Projects: Actions needed to maintain the operational integrity of the system or activities necessary to restore the system and affected facilities in response to a sudden and unexpected loss of electric or gas service or events that affect public health and safety. Embedded Culvert: A culvert that is installed in such a way that the bottom of the structure is below the stream bed and there is substrate in the culvert. Environmentally Sensitive Areas: An area containing natural features, cultural resources, or ecological functions of such significance to warrant protection. Some examples are rivers, streams, ponds, lakes, wetlands, rare species habitat, water supply protection areas, archaeological sites, parks, and agricultural land. Erosion Control: A measure to prevent soil from detachment and transportation by water, wind, or gravity. Existing Access Roads: Previously permitted or grandfathered access roads that are used to access structures that are clearly visible or can be found by mowing or by the presence of road materials in soil cores. Grubbing: A site preparation method that is used to clear the ground of roots and stumps. Intermittent Watercourse: An intermittent watercourse, or stream, is broadly defined as a channel that a flowing body of water follows at irregular intervals and does not have continuous or steady flow. Regulatory definitions for intermittent watercourses are: • Connecticut – Per the Connecticut Inland Wetland and Watercourses Act, intermittent watercourses are delineated by a defined permanent channel and bank and the occurrence of two or more of the following characteristics: (A) Evidence of scour or deposits of recent alluvium or detritus, (B) the presence of standing or flowing water for a duration longer than a particular storm incident, and (C) the presence of hydrophytic vegetation. • Massachusetts – Under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (MAWPA), a jurisdictional intermittent watercourse is defined as a body of running water which moves in a definite channel in the ground due to a hydraulic gradient, does not flow throughout the year, and which flows within, into or out of an area subject to protection under the MAWPA. Intermittent watercourses upgradient of any Bordering Vegetated Wetlands or Ponds are not jurisdictional under the MAWPA. A watercourse can be determined to be intermittent if it meets MAWPA criteria with regard to its depiction on the most current USGS topographic map of the area (i.e., shown as intermittent or not shown), and watershed size and predicted flow rates as determined by the USGS StreamStats method or documented observations of no flow at least once per day over the course of four days in any consecutive 12month period barring drought conditions, withdrawals, or other human-made flow reductions or diversions (subject to conservation commission and/or MassDEP review and approval). Limit of Work/Disturbance: The boundaries of the approved project within regulated areas. All project related activities in regulated areas must be conducted within the approved limit of work/disturbance. The limit of work/disturbance should be depicted on the approved permit site plans, which may require the limits to be survey located and identified in the field by flagging, construction fencing, and/or perimeter erosion controls. Low Ground Pressure Vehicle: Vehicles that have a lesser impact on an environmentally sensitive area due to the vehicle being smaller, lighter, or different in another way than a vehicle which would have a greater impact. Low ground pressure is Section 1 Introduction Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 1-3 measured in pounds per square inch (psi) when loaded and as defined by the US Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE). CT = < 3 psi MA = < 3 psi Low impact vehicles could include off-road vehicles (ORVs) or all-terrain vehicles/ utility vehicles (ATVs/UTVs), tracked vehicles with low ground pressure, or vehicles with oversized balloon-type tires. Maintenance Projects: Typically consist of activities limited to the repair and/or replacement of existing and lawfully located utility structures and/or facilities where no substantial change in the original structure or footprint is proposed. Maintenance activities also include vegetation management. Minimization: Causing as little disturbance to an area as practicable during construction. New Construction: Construction of new transmission or distribution facilities that previously did not exist or construction that substantially modifies existing facilities. All new (and existing) construction projects are required to go through a full permit review by Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Pre-Construction Notification (PCN): Project activities that do not qualify for SelfVerification (SV) or where otherwise required by the terms of the Massachusetts (MA) and Connecticut (CT) General Permits (GPs) must submit a PCN and obtain written verification before starting work in ACOE jurisdiction. Refer to MA and CT GPs for PCN thresholds. Projects that cannot be completed under a PCN must file for an Individual Permit with the ACOE. In CT, for coastal projects, notification is provided to ACOE by the CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP), Office of Long Island Sound Programs (OLISP) or by applicants as necessary. Written approval from ACOE is required. Protected Species: Species named and protected under the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (MESA) regulations and/or the Connecticut Endangered Species Act (C.G.S. §§ 26-303 through 26-315). Rare Species: See Protected Species. Restoration: To return a disturbed area to its former, original or unimpaired condition. A site is considered fully restored when it has returned (as closely as practicable) to its original state. Restoration of disturbed areas should occur as soon as practicable following the completion of activities at that location. Revegetation: Establishment of plant material for temporary or permanent soil stabilization. Right of Way (ROW): A pathway, road, or corridor of land where Eversource has legal rights (either fee ownership, lease, or easement) to construct, operate, and maintain an electric power line and/or natural gas pipeline. Sediment Control: The practice of managing the erosion of soil materials mobilized by water, typically stormwater runoff, on-site for the purpose of protecting nearby wetland and water resources. Self-Verification (SV): Activities that are eligible for SV are authorized under the MA and CT GPs and may commence without written verification from the ACOE provided the prospective permittee has: i. Confirmed that the activity will meet the terms and conditions of applicable MA and CT GPs. Section 1 Introduction Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 1-4 ii. Submitted the Self-Verification Notification Form (SVNF) to the ACOE. In CT, coastal projects do not require filing of a SVNF. ACOE relies on CT DEEP submittals. Sensitive Environmental Area: For the purposes of this BMP Manual, this term shall be inclusive of all wetlands, streams, waterways, waterbodies, buffer zones, rare species habitat, and historical/cultural resources. Stabilization: A system of permanent or temporary measures used alone or in combination to minimize erosion from disturbed areas. Work: For the purposes of this BMP Manual, any form of temporary or permanent draining, dumping, damming, discharging, excavating, filling or grading; the erection, reconstruction, replacement or expansion of any buildings or structures; the driving of piles; the construction or improvement of roads and other ways; the changing of run-off characteristics; the intercepting or diverging of ground or surface water; the installation of storm drain systems (e.g., catch basins); the discharging of pollutants; the destruction of plant life; and any other changing of the physical characteristics of land including, but not limited to: on- and off-road utility corridors and substations. Types of work include but are not limited to the installation or maintenance of underground and overhead utilities, substations and other facilities. 1.4 Acronyms and Abbreviations The following acronyms and abbreviated are provided to clarify use of common terms throughout this document.

The permit review process is supported by Geographic Information Systems (GIS) or a similar program that references the most current spatial data for the project areas in question. Through the GIS review process various geo-processing tools are used to compose maps and provide a spatial reference to environmentally sensitive areas. In consultation with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting, the Project Engineer, permitting specialist, or other project planner should determine regulatory jurisdiction and which (if any) environmental permits or approvals are required before starting any project. Questions regarding which activities may be conducted in regulated areas or within environmentally sensitive areas should be referred to Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Summaries of potentially applicable laws and regulations are provided in Appendices B and C of this document. Eversource employs a best practice mitigation hierarchy to 1) avoid environmental impacts wherever possible, followed by 2) minimization of environmental impacts where they cannot be avoided, and 3) mitigating and restoring any environmental impacts where necessary. 2.1 Regulated Areas 2.1.1 Types of Wetlands Wetland areas common to New England and common to both Connecticut and Massachusetts include, but are not limited to, the following: Forested Wetlands Forested wetlands are wetlands that are dominated by trees that are 20 feet or taller. These wetlands are typically drier with standing water typically occurring during periods of high precipitation, seasonally high groundwater, snowmelt, and runoff (e.g., early spring through mid-summer). Tree species typical of this type of wetland include red maple (Acer rubrum) and eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis). “Pit and mound” topography is common in forested wetlands, where mature trees grow on the higher and drier mounds and obligate wetland species are found in the lower pits. Scrub-Shrub Wetlands Scrub-shrub wetlands are dominated by woody vegetation less than 20 feet tall and may include peat bogs. Typical bog species include leatherleaf (Chamaedaphne calyculata), cotton grasses (Eriophorum sp.), cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon, V. oxycoccus), and black spruce (Picea mariana). Other non-bog scrub-shrub wetlands are characterized by buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), alders (Alnus spp.), dogwoods (Swida spp.), and arrowwoods (Viburnum spp.). Section 2 Project Planning Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 2-2 Marshes Marshes are dominated by erect, herbaceous vegetation and appear as grasslands or stands of reedy growth. These wetlands are commonly referred to by a host of terms, including marsh, wet meadow, or fen. These areas are flooded all or most of the year and, in New England, tend to be dominated by cattails (Typha spp.). Wet Meadows Typical wet meadow species include grasses such as bluejoint (Calamagrostis canadensis) and reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), sedges (Carex spp.) and rushes (Juncus spp.), and various other forbs such as Joe-Pye-weeds (Eutrochium spp.) and asters (Aster spp.). Floodplains A floodplain is generally defined as an area of low-lying ground adjacent to a stream or river that is formed mainly of river sediments and is subject to inundation from floodwaters. State-specific regulatory definitions vary and are described as follows: • In Connecticut, areas that contain alluvial or floodplain soils are regulated as wetlands. These areas may flood so infrequently or be so freely drained that hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soils are not present. Soils in these areas must be examined carefully to determine whether well drained alluvial or floodplain soils are present. • In Massachusetts, a floodplain is a type of wetland resource area that floods following storms, prolonged rainfall, or snowmelt. There are three types of floodplain areas protected under the MAWPA: coastal areas, areas bordering rivers and streams, and isolated depressions that flood at least once a year. Streams A stream is any natural flowing body of water that empties to any ocean, lake, pond or other river. Perennial streams, or rivers, have flows throughout the year. Intermittent streams do not have surface flows throughout the year, though surface water may remain in isolated pockets. Vernal Pools Vernal pools are typically contained basin depressions lacking permanent aboveground outlets. These areas fill with water with the rising water table of fall and winter and/or with the meltwater and runoff of winter and spring snow and rain. The pools contain water for a few months in the spring and early summer. Due to periodic drying cycles, vernal pools do not support breeding fish populations and can thus serve as breeding grounds for a variety of organisms, including some rare and/or protected species of frogs and salamanders. 2.1.2 Rare Species Utility ROWs within Connecticut and Massachusetts overlap with, and in some circumstances create or enhance, habitat of rare/protected species of plants, vertebrate and invertebrate animals. Special requirements may need to be evaluated as part of new construction and/or some maintenance activities. Section 2 Project Planning Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 2-3 2.1.3 Historical/Cultural Other regulated factors taken into consideration during the project planning process include the presence of protected (i.e., threatened or endangered) species, non- native, invasive plant species and/or historical/cultural resources. Special requirements may need to be evaluated as part of new construction and/or some maintenance activities. 2.2 Meetings A pre-construction meeting is typically held prior to the commencement of all work with the purpose to appoint responsible parties, discuss timing of work, and further consider options to avoid and/or minimize disturbance to sensitive areas. The meeting confirms that there is consensus on work methods and responsibilities and ensures that tasks will be fulfilled with as little disturbance to the environment as practicable. These meetings can occur on or off-site and should include all the applicable stakeholders (i.e., Eversource, contractors, consultants, inspectors and/or monitors, and regulatory agency personnel). A short and less formal briefing should suffice for smaller maintenance projects. 2.3 Site Staging and Parking During the project planning and permitting process, locations should be identified for designated crew parking areas, material storage, and staging areas. Where possible, these areas should be located outside of buffer zones, watershed protection areas, and other environmentally sensitive areas. Any proposed locations should be evaluated for all sensitive receptors and for new projects requiring permitting, should be incorporated onto permitting and access plans. 2.4 Construction Monitoring Construction projects require environmental monitoring, which can be conducted either internally or by consultants. Some permitted projects require oversight by designated and pre-approved compliance monitors. Environmental monitoring is a way to keep a chronological record of pre-construction site conditions, progress, and changes that are made, as well as to document issues and authorized solutions. If work will occur in a sensitive environmental area, permit conditions may dictate that construction be monitored by a qualified and pre-approved wetland or wildlife specialist. 2.5 Signage/Limit of Boundaries Where appropriate, wetland delineation flagging or signage shall be installed that makes clear where critical boundaries (i.e., the limits of jurisdictional wetland resource areas, rare species habitat, and/or historical/cultural resources) and setbacks occur. Appropriate signage shall also be installed to indicate regulatory authorization by agencies and to prohibit certain uses on ROWs, such as ORV traffic. Where appropriate, signage shall be installed along sediment and erosion control barriers at appropriate intervals, heights, and sizes to ensure that the presence and location of said barriers is clear to construction personnel during deep snow or other low visibility conditions. Inspection and maintenance of this signage shall be conducted on a regular basis to ensure effectiveness. Section 2 Project Planning Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 2-4 Examples of signage at wetlands SECTION 3 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-1 Section 3 Construction Considerations This section addresses BMPs specific to construction of new access roads, repair of existing access roads, the installation of work pads, structure-related work, and soil stockpile management. Information regarding recommended erosion and sedimentation controls or stormwater controls is also discussed. Please refer to Appendix A for typical details and representative photographs of BMPs used for erosion and sedimentation control and water diversion during construction. During all project activities (e.g., maintenance, new construction), federal, state, and local regulatory authorities require steps be taken to avoid, minimize, and/or mitigate disturbance to the environment. Sensitive environmental areas should be avoided whenever practicable. However, some projects may require entrance into these areas in order to perform work. This section discusses measures that should be taken to minimize disturbance to if work must occur within sensitive environmental areas. BMPs were developed to aid in this process and should be carefully selected and implemented based on the proposed activities and the nature of sensitive area(s) encountered at each site. Proper selection of BMPs should take into consideration the project goals, permit requirements, and site-specific information. Once an assessment of the area is made and requirements of the project are established, all BMPs should be considered and implemented as appropriate. 3.1 Avoidance and Minimization Avoidance and minimization should always be considered before beginning any construction or maintenance project. Eversource and their contractors should utilize appropriate measures to avoid construction impacts to sensitive environmental areas including, but not limited to: wetlands, waterways, rare species habitats, known below and above ground historical/archeological resources, and other environmentally sensitive areas. Use existing ROW access whenever practicable. Keep to approved routes and roads and do not widen or deviate from them. Consult with the Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting Group, when avoidance is not practicable, to determine measures to minimize the extent of construction impacts. Alternate access routes and/or staging areas that will minimize construction impacts to the natural environment may be considered. 3.2 Rare Species Habitat Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting coordinates with state and local agencies when work is within areas designated as rare and/or sensitive species habitat. In order to protect these resources in Connecticut, the following must be reviewed: • Natural Diversity Database (NDDB) area mapping. • Critical Habitat mapping. • Eversource’s New England Cottontail (NEC) BMP map. • Prior NDDB Determinations. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-2 The NDDB mapping is updated approximately every six months and is posted on the State’s GIS data download webpage. The Critical Habitat mapping is less frequently updated and also on the State’s GIS data download page. Eversource’s NEC BMP map and mapping which depicts prior NDDB Determinations shall be provided through Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. In Massachusetts, Eversource has an annual Operations and Management Plan (OMP) which is updated and renewed at the start of each calendar year with the Natural Heritage Endangered Species Program (NHESP) which designates Priority Habitat (PH) in the State. All work in PH requires review of and compliance with the OMP which may include consultation with NHESP. The OMP establishes guidelines for work within known rare species habitat based on the type of species presence. These guidelines may include time of year (TOY) restrictions or similar measures to avoid impacts to rare species. Regardless of the State in which construction is taking place, the following shall be employed in all mapped, State-listed species and designated Critical Habitat areas: • Make every effort to avoid impacts to known populations of State-listed plants and other stationary resources. • Limit permanent impact through the use of temporary construction matting as opposed to gravel for access road and work pad construction. • If State-listed resources cannot be avoided, mitigation planning shall be discussed with Environmental Licensing and Permitting. • Consider time-of-year (TOY) restrictions to avoid impact to sensitive resources during critical life stages including but not limited to nesting season for ground and shrub nesting birds, pup rearing season for bats (if tree removal is necessary), flowering and seeding times for State-listed plants. Certain species, including the timber rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus), are one of the few venomous species in New England which can be a threat to worker safety. Protection measures provided by the respective State agency shall be followed and may require snake sweeps by a qualified herpetologist, contractor education, and field demarcation of hibernacula/known rattlesnake dens. 3.3 Hiking Trails The following practices shall be implemented in the event project areas intersect or overlap with recreational hiking trails. • Avoid using hiking trails as access roads or access routes for vehicles and equipment. • If a hiking trail must be used for vehicle or equipment access coordination with Eversource Vegetation Management Compliance or Oversight staff and/or Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting staff is required prior to use. • Utilize existing access roads to cross hiking trails to the maximum extent practicable. • If no existing access roads exist and a hiking trail must be crossed, minimize trail crossings by designating one location for use by equipment. • Signs, barriers, spotters or other means to alert the public to the work shall be Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-3 implemented. • Stockpiling logs and other cut material within 25 feet of hiking trails is not allowed unless approved by Eversource Vegetation Management Compliance or Oversight staff. • Spreading wood chips on hiking trails is not allowed unless approved by Eversource Vegetation Management Compliance or Oversight staff. • At the end of each workday all cut material must be removed from hiking trails. • As soon as possible after work is complete disturbed portions of hiking trails shall be returned as close to pre-construction condition as possible. This may include hand raking, hand cutting of stumps and/or hand removal of cut vegetation. • If any trees that are marked for trail navigation must be cut, the property manager or trail maintainer must be notified. • Posts or other markers that are used for trail navigation shall be protected at all times. Replacement in kind shall be completed by the contractor if disturbed or damaged during completion of the work. 3.4 Work on State-owned land in Connecticut For all work on State of Connecticut-owned land as depicted on the “DEEP Property” data layer available through the State’s GIS data download page, matting shall be employed to the greatest extent possible. Gravel access roads and work pads shall only be installed when terrain prohibits the installation of matting. All work must be coordinated through Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting for acquisition of necessary authorization prior to the start of construction on State-owned properties. 3.5 Historic/Cultural Resources Historic and cultural resources are diverse and include, but are not limited to, archaeological sites, historic structures, historic districts, stone walls, and ceremonial stone landscapes. Construction activities near or within significant resources are subject to restrictions outlined in any site or project-specific avoidance/protection plans. The locations of archaeological sites and other sensitive resources such as ceremonial stone landscapes and burials are considered confidential and may only be disclosed on a needto-know basis. 3.5.1 Stone Walls Stone walls can be considered significant resources for a number of reasons including unique construction methods, their function as a property boundary, their association with other historic resources such as archaeological sites or farmsteads, and/or their importance to the underlying landowner(s). Non-impact methods of managing work and access near stone walls should always be prioritized and removal, dismantlement, or other alterations to stone walls should be avoided, when possible. Non-impact methods of managing work near stone walls include: • Avoiding the stone wall altogether - This may involve re-routing an access road or selecting a new access point. Care should be taken not to incur additional impacts to other sensitive environmental areas (e.g., wetlands or rare species habitat). • Traversing the wall through an existing breach - In this scenario, the breach is Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-4 used as-is and the breach is not widened or expanded in any way. • Traversing the wall using timber matting to temporarily bridge over the wall (e.g., “air bridge”) - Although the construction of individual air bridges will vary depending on the surrounding topography, the height of the wall, and the individual operator, the timber mats should not touch the stone wall on any side, and a sufficient air gap between the top of the stone wall and the timber matting directly above should be left to ensure the stone wall is not damaged during the passage of heavy machinery. Before and after photographs of the portion of the stone wall to be crossed should be taken and provided to Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. • Elevating work pads near stone walls using timber matting - If work pads cannot be reduced in size to avoid stone walls, timber matting may be used to elevate the work pad, or portions thereof, above the stone wall to avoid impacts. None of the timber mats should be in contact with the stone wall and before and after photographs of the stone wall should be taken. If implementation of the four non-impact measures noted above is not feasible and either temporary or permanent alterations to a stone wall are necessary, Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting must be contacted prior to any alterations occurring to secure the appropriate permissions. These permissions may take several weeks to secure and may require input from the cultural resources consultant or Eversource Real Estate and/or Legal Departments. Prior to alteration, proper documentation of the wall should be obtained and provided to Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. At a minimum, this effort should include recording the following: • Wall dimensions (total length, width, average height) • Any existing breaches • Wall location and general orientation on project maps Photographs (including a scale, if possible) should also be taken of the entire wall clearly showing all sides, with increased attention on any areas of the wall that will be modified (e.g., expanded breaches) or will need to be rebuilt. The removal of dense vegetation along the stone wall prior to photography is highly recommended. Once permissions to alter a stone wall and appropriate documentation have been secured, the following BMPs should be followed during alteration and rebuilding: • While it is preferred that alterations be conducted by hand following traditional dry stone construction methods, construction machinery may be used when appropriate to the level of effort required and taking care not to unreasonably scratch or mar the stones or to begin excavating into soils underneath the wall. • Any removed stones should be stockpiled nearby, outside any identified sensitive environmental areas such as wetlands or rare species habitat. • When rebuilding, the wall should be reconstructed in the same location as the original and should match the original wall as closely as possible; if present, it is preferred that weathered/moss-covered surfaces are exposed. • When alterations/rebuilding is complete, additional photographs from all sides should be taken and provided to Eversource Environmental Licensing and Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-5 Permitting. 3.5.2 Unanticipated Discoveries During construction activities, most notably ground disturbing activities such as excavation, trenching, or grading, it is possible to discover previously unknown archaeological resources. Any specific procedures outlined in project-specific documents such as Post-Review Discoveries or Unanticipated Discoveries Plans should be followed. If such documents do not exist and a contractor encounters an unanticipated discovery, the contractor shall immediately notify the Eversource Construction Representative/Supervisor, secure the site, and not restart work in the area of the discovery until after the Eversource Senior Cultural Resources Program Administrator has granted clearance. 3.6 Human Remains In the event human remains are encountered, the contractor must immediately stop work and notify the Eversource Construction Representative/Supervisor, secure the site, and ensure that the remains are treated with the utmost dignity and respect. The remains should be covered and left undisturbed along with any associated artifacts. No photography of the remains is allowed and work will not resume in the area of the discovery until after the Eversource Senior Cultural Resources Program Administrator has granted clearance. In addition to these preliminary guidelines, all relevant state laws and guidelines, including, but not limited to, the Massachusetts Unmarked Burial Law (M.G.L. Chapter 38, Section 6) and the Connecticut Human Burials Law (Conn. Gen. State. Sec 10-388) must be adhered to. 3.7 Vernal Pools Construction within and across wetlands and in proximity to vernal pools should be limited to the extent practicable to avoid working in the periods between April 1st and June 1st. This will allow for obligate vernal pool species to emigrate to the breeding areas, deposit egg masses, and allow for hatching and development of juveniles. Silt fence should be installed at the limits of the construction to prevent individual reptiles and amphibians from entering the workspace, but in a manner that does not impede movement to and from pools from adjacent forested uplands. Consider installing syncopated silt fencing. Protection Measures When performing construction activities in proximity to vernal pools, a number of protection measures should be implemented. Vegetation Removal • Maintain existing scrub-shrub vegetation (consistent with ROW vegetation management requirements) within 25 feet of vernal pools, except in areas where access roads and work pads must be installed. • Minimize removal of low growing (scrub-shrub) vegetation surrounding vernal pools by utilizing construction matting where access is needed. If vegetation must be cut adjacent to vernal pools, the cut vegetation (slash) should be left in place to serve as recruitment for leaf litter and coarse woody debris. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-6 Erosion and Sedimentation Control • Where the potential for sediment intrusion and runoff into a vernal pool exists, sedimentation and erosion controls shall be installed. • Promptly remove erosion and sedimentation control devices upon final revegetation and stabilization of the ROW. Access Roads • Use construction mats, corduroy roads, or clean materials (i.e., clean riprap, gravel, stone or equivalent and rock fords) in locations where existing on-ROW access roads must be improved and are adjacent to vernal pools. • Man-made depressions along existing on-ROW access roads provide low-quality vernal pool breeding habitat (due to an insufficient hydroperiod). Access roads must be graded and/or improved to accommodate project construction vehicles which may eliminate these depressions and the associated potential for amphibian breeding habitat. Perform improvements to on-ROW access roads outside of the breeding and migration seasons of vernal pool species to avoid direct impacts to amphibians that may breed in the man-made depressions along existing on-ROW access roads. Scheduling and Site-Specific Considerations • To the extent practicable (and in consideration of circuit outages and other construction timing constraints), schedule access road and work pad installation in and around vernal pool habitats to minimize interference with amphibian breeding and migration seasons. • For project activities that must occur adjacent to vernal pools during amphibian migration periods, implement measures on a site-specific basis to facilitate unencumbered amphibian access to and from vernal pools. Consider the sitespecific conditions including the type of construction activity that will occur in proximity to a vernal pool, the amphibian species known to occur in the vernal pool, and seasonal conditions. Identify appropriate mitigation measures. Options to be evaluated to allow amphibian access to vernal pools may include, but not be limited to: syncopated silt fencing in the immediate vicinity of vernal pools; elevated construction matting; and aligning erosion and sedimentation controls to avoid bifurcating vernal pool habitat. 3.7.1 Certified Vernal Pools (MA) Encroachment upon Certified Vernal Pools (CVP) in Massachusetts should be avoided to the maximum extent practicable. CVPs are considered Outstanding Resource Waters (ORWs) in Massachusetts and are regulated under the 401 Water Quality Certification program. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. 3.8 Access Roads Existing construction access roads are unpaved roadways that work crews use to access a site within a ROW. These access roads were generally either permitted previously or Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-7 constructed prior to the promulgation of regulations and are previously authorized under past general permits. 3.8.1 New Access Roads New access roads are generally associated with new or large-scale projects that have separate permitting requirements. Construction of new access roads will be based on plans that are reviewed and approved by applicable federal, state, and local agencies. If a new access road is needed and not associated with a large project, notify Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting to make a decision on best access routes and identification of the necessary permits and approvals required to construct the new road. Permit requirements must be followed. 3.8.2 Existing Access Roads The travel surface width of access roads in upland areas is not to exceed 16 feet. This does not include side slopes. Maintenance of existing access roads includes mowing of vegetation, grading, placement/replacement of stone, and the installation/maintenance of erosion control features (e.g., water bars, swales, sedimentation basins). When access roads are in wetlands, measures should be taken to avoid disturbance to wetlands, waterways, and other sensitive environmental areas. If avoidance is not practicable, then measures should be taken to minimize the extent of disturbance. Alternate access routes should always be considered. Below is a list of methods that should be considered where disturbance is necessary: • Minimize the width of typical access roads through wetlands. If an existing access road is evident in the wetland based on the presence of previously imported roadbuilding materials (e.g., crushed stone), the existing width of the access road must be maintained. If unable to ascertain the original width of the access, then do not make the road wider than 16 feet (including side slopes). • To the extent practicable, use low-impact vehicles and/or vehicles with low ground pressure when driving through wetlands. • Coordinate the timing of work to minimize impacts during the regulatory low-flow period under normal conditions, when water/ground is frozen, after the spring songbird nesting season, and outside of the anticipated amphibian migration window (mid- February to mid-June). The ACOE defines the low-flow periods for streams as follows: o Connecticut streams—July 1 through September 30 o Massachusetts non-tidal streams—July 1 through February 28 o Massachusetts tidal streams—November 16 to February 15 • Use construction mats in wetlands to minimize soil disturbance and rutting when work needs to occur during non-frozen ground conditions. • If practicable, conduct work manually if warranted (decision to be made by the Eversource Project Team). Existing access roads are characterized by a clear dominance of imported fill material to a depth of at least three inches. When determining the presence and extent of an existing access road, soil probes shall be advanced as necessary to establish the boundary between fill and native soil. In some cases, hydrophytic vegetation may have become established or ponding may occur within the limits of imported fill. In these cases, the clear and Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-8 consistent presence of fill along a distinguished route is considered a previously authorized fill. Where the existing access road is not evident, Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting must be consulted to make a determination whether stone can be placed in the wetland. If stone is not evident, through soil cores, hand digging or other methods, construction mats must be used. If permanent access is warranted through the wetland, the new access road will need to have a permitting review and will likely require permits. The access road in the wetland should not exceed 16 feet in width (unless there is evidence that the road was originally wider than 16 feet). Over time, existing access roads require maintenance and repair. Travel by construction equipment and general traffic to reach a particular portion of the ROW must be via the designated access road and route. Changes in the location of the access road or the use of alternate roads must be reviewed and approved by the Eversource Project Team prior to their construction or use. Access road routes were selected to prevent degradation of the utility corridor, and must be constructed, used, and maintained in accordance with this BMP Manual, as well as federal, state, and local requirements, and other project plans. In some situations, it may be necessary to construct redundant access roads, this practice should be avoided to the extent practicable. Some appropriate reasons for suggesting alternate routes are: • Poor site conditions along preferred route because of weather or season. • Property rights constraints, or property owner’s preference. • Equipment requirements. • Unanticipated off-site access limitations along existing roads. Unanticipated access opportunities (e.g., ice, snow, other developments) which may avoid environmental disturbance and/or reduce cost. General Design: New and Existing Access Roads Construction access roads that require new grading and/or filling or are to be heavily used require the creation of a stable, load-bearing surface resistant to erosion. If the existing soil and subsoil are not well drained, it may be necessary to import an aggregate road base (i.e., gravel borrow) such as that meeting the requirements of aggregate found in the: • Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Works Standard Specifications for Highways and Bridges, Section 400 • Connecticut Standard Specifications for Roads, Bridges and Incidental Construction, Section M1.02 When the construction access road follows the same route as the permanent design road, establishing the grades and subgrade for the permanent roadway early in the construction sequence is recommended. The travel surface of construction access roads shall typically not exceed 16 feet in width except for passing points, where necessary. Subgrading shall not extend beyond the space required for the finished road and normal side slopes. Where practicable, construction access roads should conform to the contours of the land, Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-9 avoiding grades steeper than 10 percent and creating side slopes no steeper than a ratio of 2:1. If the side slopes are steeper than 2:1, then use of engineered slope stabilization methods may be necessary. Consider the volume and type of construction traffic as well as the extent that natural ground must be altered to accommodate the traffic. If no grading is required and traffic is sporadic (i.e., access roads used to maintain utility lines) the measures used may be limited to water bars, or some top dressing with gravel or stone in areas where the vegetation over soft soil is destroyed by traffic. During wet weather, these roadways can generate significant quantities of sediment if not constructed with adequate stormwater management and erosion control measures. During active construction or maintenance activities, inspection of the construction access road and associated erosion and sedimentation measures should be conducted by the person(s) designated at the pre-construction meeting, should occur regularly while the activity is occurring, and repairs to controls should be made in a timely matter. Repairs may include re-grading and/or top dressing the traveled surface with additional aggregate to eliminate ruts, as well as those repairs required by each erosion and sedimentation measure used. When the roadway is no longer needed on a regular basis, the access road should be reviewed to ensure that the road is left in a condition that prevents future erosion and sedimentation (e.g., installation of water bars, gravel). In some cases, permit conditions may require that the access road be removed and that the disturbed area be restored (e.g., seeded and mulched) in accordance with applicable permits as required to match the pre-construction conditions. Erosion and Sedimentation Controls Construction personnel are reminded to control erosion and flow conditions during access road construction or maintenance activities by utilizing the following erosion and sedimentation measures which are described and illustrated further in Appendix A: • Outlet protection, a level spreader, a trench breaker, a sediment trap or basin, or a stone check dam may be used to de-energize concentrated flows from diversions and in temporary channels. • Geotextile silt fencing, compost filter berms, straw wattles and straw bale barriers may be utilized to provide protection at the toe of fill slopes and discharges from water bars. • Side slopes can be protected by installing erosion control blankets and seeding the area with a fast-growing native or annual grass mix. • Dust control should be employed when construction access road conditions create airborne dust. • Geotextile fabric shall be used beneath all new fill and construction entrances, where needed. **The use of hay and/or hay products is strictly prohibited.** **The use of nylon and/or plastic netting is strictly prohibited.** 3.8.3 Best Management Practices – New Access Roads The following are BMPs that are applicable to new access roads in uplands and are described at the following tabs: Construction Entrance Track Pad (see Figure A01 in Appendix A) Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-10 Stormwater Management BMPs (includes Water Bars [Figure A02], Drainage Swales [Figure A03], and Sedimentation Basins [Figures A38-A41] in Appendix A) Construction Entrance Track Pad Applications: Erosion and sedimentation control, roadway protection Limitations: • Maintenance is required if the pad becomes clogged with soil. • Muddy conditions may warrant the use of a tire wash station. Overview: Where access roads or construction areas connect to paved roads, a stone track pad must be installed at the construction entrance to prevent construction machinery from tracking soil onto paved roadways. Materials appropriate to construction site soil conditions should be employed and/or replenished, as necessary. Installation: • Use 3- to 6-inch washed stone to install stone tracking pads at a minimum length of 50 feet and a minimum depth of 12 inches. • On sites with clayey soils, underlay stone tracking pads with a geotextile liner to prevent the stone from sinking into the soil. Maintenance: • Periodically inspect the stone in the entrance track pad. If the pad becomes clogged with soil, remove and refresh and/or clean stone. Additional Comments: If muddy conditions warrant the use of a tire wash station, procedures should be established to ensure soils are not tracked off site. Where appropriate and when safety and environmental conditions are considered, vehicle tires or tracks may be spun quickly (“burn out”) on the track pad to further facilitate the removal of soil. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-11 Water Bar Applications: Erosion and sedimentation control Limitations: • Should never be used to direct a watercourse into another waterbody or to divert unfiltered runoff to a wetland. • Can impede vehicular movement. • Damage from vehicle traffic and stormwater flow may require water bars to be reinstalled/reworked at the beginning and end of each construction season. Overview: Water bars are linear features built diagonally across access roads or ROWs to redirect stormwater runoff away from the road surface at non-erosive intervals. In general, they consist of a trench dug at least 6 inches below grade followed by an earthen mound at least 6 inches above grade. Use water bars to prevent erosion on sloping roadways less than 100 feet wide. Water bars must be designed to be stable throughout their useful life and meet the criteria in the table below. The maximum capacity should be the peak runoff from a 10-year storm. Installation: • Set water bar direction to utilize stable outlets and do not allow upslope water bar runoff to converge with down slope water bars. Water bars should be directed into well vegetated upland areas, sediment basins, or other erosion and sedimentation controls (e.g., straw bales, silt fence) as needed. • Construct the bar immediately after vegetation has been cleared on constant or slightly increasing grades, not exceeding 2%. Avoid reverse grades. • Mark the location and width of the ridge and disk the entire length. • Fill ridge to above the design height and compact with wheeled equipment to the design cross section. • Construct sediment traps or outlet stabilization measures, as needed. • After the area has been permanently stabilized, remove the ridge and channel to blend with the natural ground level. • Seed and mulch diversions that are intended for use for more than 30 days. Minimum Cross Section Top Width (ft) Height (ft) Side Slopes 0 1.5 4:1 4 1.5 2:1 Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-12 Maximum Recommended Spacing1 Land Slope (%) Diversion Spacing (ft) < 5 125 5 to 10 100 10 to 20 75 20 to 30 50 > 35 25 1 Recommendations for ROW widths less than 100 feet as per the Massachusetts Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Urban and Suburban Areas (MassDEP, March 1997). Maintenance: • Inspect each week and after rain events of 0.25 inches (MA) or 0.50 inches (CT) or greater, or more frequently per permit conditions or Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Repair damage caused by construction traffic or erosion. • Remove accumulated sediment and debris from the trench and stabilize outlets. • If necessary, repair ridge to a positive grade and cross section, and add gravel at crossing areas. • Use routine inspections to determine if the original spacing is adequate or if additional water bars need to be constructed. Drainage Swales Applications: Convey stormwater away from work area and/or improve water quality and reduce peak runoff. Limitations: • Vegetated swales need to have adequately established vegetation before flow is diverted to them. • Need to have adequate bottom stabilization to prevent scouring. Overview: Drainage swales usually consist of a ditch that is either vegetated or lined with riprap, erosion control blankets, or other materials. They are natural or constructed waterways/outlets that intercept, redirect, and convey stormwater away from the work area to a stable location and are used in areas where concentrated runoff would otherwise cause erosion/flooding. Swales can be used to reduce erosion in uplands and/or prior to discharge of stormwater flows to natural receiving waters (e.g., wetlands or streams). They also help to reduce surface flow velocity and turbidity. Grass Lined Channels (Stabilized with vegetation) • Use where vegetative lining will provide sufficient stability, slopes are less than 5%, and space is available for a wide cross section. Installation: • Remove trees, brush, and stumps. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-13 • Excavate and shape channel to dimensions on plans. Overcut 0.2 ft for vegetative growth. • Install temporary liner or riprap at inflows and stabilize outlets. • Vegetate immediately after construction and divert water until grass establishes. Install matting if flow cannot be diverted. • Install sod rather than seeding where slopes approach 5%. • Spread topsoil to a minimum of 4 inches where soil conditions are unfavorable. Seeded channels should be mulched. Vegetated Swales (Stabilized with dense vegetation) • Use for water quality improvement and peak runoff reduction. Applicable for small drainage areas with relatively small amount of impervious cover. The grassed waterway is used to convey runoff at a non-erosive velocity. Dense vegetation can be established and a stable outlet constructed. Installation: • General design parameters are as follows: minimum capacity 10-year, 24-hour storm; design slopes to prevent erosion during the 2-year storm event; maximum side slopes 3:1; bottom width 2 to 8 feet. • Vegetate with a native erosion control seed mix for use at moist sites and divert flow until established. Riprap Lined Channels (Contains lining of riprap or stone) • Use on sites where channel flow velocities exceed those acceptable for grass lined swales. Applicable where vegetative establishment is not possible or there are steep grades, wetness, highly erodible soils, seepage or prolonged base flow. Installation: • Remove trees, brush, and vegetation from channel area. • Stabilize inlets and install outlet protection. • Construct channel and install filter and lining as shown on plan. • Use the maximum stone size for riprap plus thickness of filter. Maintenance: • Swales need to be routinely maintained to prevent brush/sediment buildup. Inspect swale regularly and after every rain event (0.25 inches (MA) or 0.50 inches (CT), or greater). Repair and/or re-seed rill or gully erosion. Remove accumulated sediments and brush before it reaches a depth of 6 inches. Additional Comments: • Depth and spacing of swales should be dependent on runoff conditions of the specific site. • If required, install check dams constructed of riprap or other materials to slow flows along certain reaches of a swale. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-14 • Remove temporary swales once construction is complete or areas are stabilized. If leaving swales in place will provide long-term benefits and be compatible with the ultimate use of the site, then they may remain in place. Sedimentation Basins Applications: Erosion and sedimentation control Limitations: • Traps and basins need to be adequately sized based on expected rain events and the contributing drainage area. Overview: Sediment traps and basins are used to filter and settle out suspended solids in stormwater runoff before water is released into a wetland or other unprotected and/or sensitive environmental area. A sediment trap is a temporary measure installed during construction to detain runoff, while a basin is a more permanent measure. Basins are also used where other erosion control measures are not adequate to prevent off-site sedimentation. Sediment traps and basins should have three components: a forebay, a check dam, and a basin. Debris and some sediments begin to settle out of the water in the forebay. The stone or straw bale check dam filters more suspended solids as water flows through. The actual basin is a low-velocity pool where suspended solids settle out of the water column before the water is released at the outlet. Based on the size of the project area, a qualified engineer may be required to calculate the appropriate size of the basin. State-specific guidance for basin sizing can be found in the following locations: • Massachusetts Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Urban and Suburban Areas (Page 140); http://www.mass.gov/eea/docs/dep/water/esfull.pdf • 2002 Connecticut Guidelines for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control (Section 5-11- 1); http://www.ct.gov/de p/cwp/view.asp?A=2720&Q=325660. Installation: Drainage area of 5 acres or less: • Install to direct stormwater runoff to the sedimentation trap or basin. Form basin by excavating a depression similar to a small pond or by placing an earthen embankment across an existing drainage swale or naturally low area. • The ratio between the basin length and width should be greater than 3:1 (L:W). A ratio of 9:1 is recommended. • Clear, grub, and strip all vegetation and root material from area of embankment and place embankment fill in lifts (<9”/lift, max). Compact fill and construct side slopes 2:1 or flatter. Excavate rectangular outlet section from compacted embankment. • Filter fabric may be installed on bottom and sides of basin and covered by riprap. • Extend outlet apron/spillway below toe of dam on level grade until stable conditions are reached (5 feet minimum). Cover inside face of stone outlet section with a 1 Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-15 foot layer of ½- to ¼-inch washed stone. • Use permanent or temporary seeding to vegetate embankments, spillways, and disturbed areas downgradient of the basin. Drainage area of 10 acres or less: • Locate the basin in an easily accessible upland area, not a wetland area. • Install the basin so that it intercepts the largest possible amount of runoff from the disturbed area. • Divert sediment-laden water to the upper end of the sediment pool to improve trapping effectiveness. • Basin should have a minimum volume based on ½-inch of storage for each acre of drainage area. • Size basin to provide a minimum detention of 12 to 24 hours at the maximum runoff quantity expected for the duration of the basin’s use. Maintenance: • Monitor the amount of sedimentation in the trap/basin. Install a stake with a marking at half the design depth. Remove sediment when it reaches this mark. • Inspect after every rain event. • Clean or replace the spillway gravel and re-seed/plant vegetation, as needed. • Monitor embankment, spillway, and outlet for erosion. Repair erosion problems immediately. Additional Comments: Construction of sediment traps and/or basins should occur before primary construction on a project begins. They are often a critical stormwater management component for larger construction sites and/or those with poorly drained upland soils. If compatible with the post-construction site use, it may be appropriate to leave sediment basins in place indefinitely. 3.8.4 Construction in Wetlands Access roads that are constructed in or across wetlands require the following considerations in addition to the considerations for access roads in uplands: • Construction of new access roads in wetlands, whether temporary or permanent, that do not utilize construction mats (e.g., earthen and/or rock fill roads, corduroy roads) requires considerable project specific permitting and design. These types of projects should comply with project specific permits and plans, while only using this BMP manual as a general reference source. Permits often also require wetlands replication when permanent new access roads are constructed in wetlands. • Avoid putting the construction access road in a wetland whenever practicable. Explore all feasible and prudent alternatives before determining that a wetland crossing is necessary. When avoidance is not practicable, consider crossings that will result in the least amount of disturbance. This may involve locating the construction access road so that it crosses the wetland at its narrowest width or uses areas previously disturbed for access or other purposes. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-16 • Minimize the width of the temporary construction access road through the wetlands (generally no wider than 16 feet when using construction mats). It is preferable to have a passing point created before and after the wetland crossing, but internal passing points may be needed if the crossing is long or critical sight line restrictions exist. • Construct access roads so that wildlife is able to pass under or go through the road. In areas where the road is only one construction mat thick, allow for passageways or “gaps” between construction mats. In locations where the access road is greater than one mat thick, install elevated construction mat road crossings or ”bridges.” Gaps and/or bridges are to be placed along the access road at intervals no less than 50 feet. • Consider the soil conditions. Expect deep organic wetland soils to require geotextiles, construction mats, or other materials during use to keep imported road materials separated from wetland soils. In shallow organic or saturated soils, thick plywood sheets or AlturnaMATS® may be sufficient to support a stable travel surface for small, lightweight vehicles. In addition, in areas which are inundated or have deep organic wetland soils, it may be necessary to use more than one layer of construction mats. • Prevent obstructions to surface and subsurface flow across and through the construction access road. Provide adequate drainage. This may require the use of crushed stone, a layer of log corduroy, construction mat bridges, or multiple cross culverts, particularly if the wetland does not contain a well-defined watercourse channel and/or the wetland crossing is long. If the wetland soils are susceptible to seasonal high groundwater tables or flooding, then give additional consideration for maintaining flows across and/or over the construction access road without causing erosion or siltation during such times. • Plan in advance how the construction access road will be removed and the wetland restored. A road stabilization geotextile can facilitate the segregation of imported soils and crushed stone and/or log corduroy from the native wetland soils and make wetland restoration easier. However, after the end of an extensive project and a highly traveled crossing, stone removal from the wetland surface will still usually have to occur, even when placed in conjunction with geotextile. In some cases, access roads may not need to be constructed in a wetland to gain access into or through a wetland if the work can be designed such that disturbances to the wetland are avoided or negligible. Options to be considered are presented below. Equipment Selection and Usage: • Low ground pressure equipment - Using equipment that reduces the pressure it exerts on the ground can minimize disturbance to sensitive areas. Employing the use of equipment with wide tires, rubberized tracks, and low ground pressure (<3 psi when loaded) can help minimize soil compaction. • Wide tires - Increasing the width of tires will increase traveling surface area and therefore reduce the amount of ground compaction that the equipment will cause. Ultimately, this will reduce rutting, and allow for easier maneuvering of the vehicle. However, wide tires may be costly and will require a wider travel area. • Rubberized tracks - Equipment with rubberized tracks spreads the weight of the vehicle over a much larger surface, reducing ground pressure and enabling the vehicle to move more freely through wet substrates. Each track can be between Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-17 1.5 and 3 feet wide, length depending on the width of the vehicle. This can greatly reduce rutting and allow the vehicle to move with less difficulty through wet substrates. • Lightweight equipment - Disturbance in a wetland area can be lessened by reducing the size of equipment (e.g., ORVs, Gator™) used in sensitive environmental areas. This reduces the amount of pressure to the travel surface as well as the necessary width of access ways. Timing of Work: • Work during frozen conditions. Activities conducted once wetland areas are frozen can minimize rutting and other disturbance to the surrounding environment. Work during this time also generally reduces disturbance of aquatic and terrestrial wildlife movement by avoiding sensitive breeding and nesting seasons. • Work during the “low flow” period. Conducting work during the low flow period can reduce disturbance to surface water and generally avoids spawning and breeding seasons of aquatic organisms. The ACOE defines the low-flow periods for streams as follows: o Connecticut streams—July 1 through September 30 o Massachusetts non-tidal streams— July 1 through September 30 o Massachusetts tidal streams—November 16 through February 15 Alternate Access: • Manual access – Consider accessing work areas on foot through terrestrial areas and/or by boat through open water or ponded areas. Smaller projects (e.g., repairs to individual structures or parts of structures) do not categorically require the use of heavy machinery and should be accessed manually to the extent practicable. • Limit trips – Multiple trips through a wetland have shown to increase the potential for damage and requirement for matting. Try to limit trip to one in and one out. Use of overhead/aerial access (e.g., helicopters): • Using overhead or aerial equipment can be expensive and is not always feasible, but it may be appropriate in some situations to get vehicles and other equipment to a site that may be otherwise very difficult to access. The use of overhead and/or aerial equipment may be beneficial for work in areas where large water bodies, deep crevices, or mountainous areas hinder ground access. Erosion and Sedimentation Controls: Construction personnel are reminded to control erosion and flow conditions during new access road construction by utilizing the following erosion and sedimentation measures which are described and illustrated further in Appendix A: • Straw wattles [Figure A26 in Appendix A], geotextile silt fencing [Figure A22 in Appendix A], and straw bale barriers [Figure A21 in Appendix A] may be installed at the edges of earthen roads or construction mat roads to prevent erosion of soil into wetlands from the road fill or tracked soil on construction mats. • In areas where silt fencing is required for more than one activity season, syncopated silt fencing [Figure A23 in Appendix A] may be installed to permit animal crossings. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-18 • Side slopes of earthen roads can be protected by installing erosion control blankets [Figure A25 in Appendix A] and seeding [Figure A32 in Appendix A] the area with a fast-growing native or annual grass mix. • Dust control should be employed as necessary when construction access road conditions create airborne dust when necessary. Refer to Section 3.16 of this BMP Manual. Best Management Practices – Construction in Wetlands The following are BMPs that are applicable to new access roads in wetlands and are described at the following tab: Construction Mats (includes Elevated Construction Mats and AlturnaMATs®; see Figures A04 – A06 in Appendix A) Permeable Road (see Figure A08 in Appendix A) Dewatering (see Figures A39 – A41 in Appendix A) Construction Mats (i.e., timber or swamp mats) Applications: Wetland crossings, rut minimization • Used for access where the ground surface is unstable due to shallow, standing water, saturated soils, or other substrates not suitable for heavy vehicles. Limitations: • Only for temporary use. Generally, mats should be removed upon construction completion. • May float away in high water conditions. • Need to be installed with heavy machinery. • AlturnaMATs® limited to smaller vehicles and equipment. • Equipment operators should remain cautious so as not to drive off or slip off the side of the mats. • In winter, mats must be plowed and sanded or heated to prevent equipment from sliding off mats. Use of a deicing agent requires approval by Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Snow removal must be conducted in accordance with the Eversource Snow Removal BMP (refer to Section 3.15). Installation: • Place mats along the travel area without any gaps and so that each board is positioned perpendicular to the direction of traffic. Position mats so that they are offset far enough from the resource area so that ruts are not created when equipment enters and exits a sensitive area. • Remove mats by “backing” out of the site and removing mats one at a time. Regrade soils to pre-existing contours while taking care not to compact soils. • Clean mats after use to remove any invasive plant species seed stock. Cleaning methods may include, but are not limited to, shaking or dropping mats in a controlled manner with a piece of machinery to knock off attached soil and debris, Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-19 spraying with water or air, sweeping, or exposing the mats to high temperatures. • Clean mats that were used in wetlands dominated by invasive species using brooms, shovels, and compressed air, if needed. Additional Comments: Construction mats installed in wetlands categorized as ORWs in Massachusetts must be underlain by non-woven geotextile, which can be placed directly on the ground surface beneath the first layer of matting or atop the first layer of matting if additional layers of mats are to be installed. Lightweight, easy to maneuver alternatives to traditional mats are available. For example, AlturnaMATS® are half-inch thick polyethylene slip-resistant ground protection mats available in dimensions up to 4 feet by 8 feet and weigh between 21.5 and 86 pounds. Mat anchoring may be required for matting installed in areas prone to flooding, such as stream crossings, shorelines of lakes and ponds, floodplains where known base flood elevations are 2 feet or greater above the ground surface, and tidal areas, and when mats will be in place in these areas for more than two weeks during hurricane season. The need for, and type of, anchoring should be coordinated with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Examples of mat anchoring include: • Linear ropes anchored using helical screws, manta ray anchors, or posts. • Cable or report in chain pockets and run linearly. Construction mat anchoring methods are illustrated in Figure A07 in Appendix A of this BMP Manual. Additional methods may be necessary depending on site and/or weather conditions. Permeable Road (i.e., rock sandwich, French Mattress, or road with continuous crossdrainage) Applications: Temporary wetland crossings, rut minimization Limitations: • Must be removed entirely at the end of construction unless project-specific permits have been obtained to allow for permanent wetland fill. • Not appropriate for areas where concentrated, high volume and/or velocity water flow will intersect the road (i.e., stream crossings). • Need to be installed with heavy machinery. • Equipment operators should remain cautious so as not to drive or slip off the side of the road. Overview: Permeable roads are used for access in situations not suitable for heavy vehicle use often due to unstable ground surfaces with shallow standing water, saturated soils, or other unstable substrate. Installation of a permeable road can also help reduce the potential for frost action and pothole creation by preventing groundwater from wicking up into the road fill material. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-20 Installation: • Cover existing soil with a geotextile fabric prior to road construction. Excavation of existing soil is generally not recommended in order to minimize impacts to the resource area. Construct road on top of the soil surface, as shown on the typical on the next page. Drainage layer materials include 3- to 6-inch rock (12-inch minimum depth) or log corduroy (2-inch minimum diameter). • Install the road so that it is offset far enough from the resource area so that ruts are not created when equipment enters and exits a sensitive area. • Remove road by “backing” out of the site and removing road one section at a time. Regrade soils to pre-existing contours while taking care not to compact soils. Maintenance: • Regularly inspect and clean edges of cross-drainage layer along the sides of the road to prevent clogging by debris, leaf litter, sediment, etc. 3.8.5 Watercourse Crossings There are a number of BMPs that can be used to minimize disturbance to streams. For each application, consider the site and project needs to select a method that is cost effective and will incur the fewest secondary disturbances. Additional erosion and sedimentation controls (e.g., straw bales) may be required in conjunction with the stream crossing BMPs to protect sensitive areas. The stream crossing methodology chosen will depend largely on the equipment required for a particular task, the existing environmental conditions, and the duration of the crossing. In constructing any stream crossing, care should be taken to limit disturbance to the extent practicable within 100 to 200 feet of the stream banks (the riparian area). The riparian area provides habitat to a number of species and provides protection and shading to the stream. Erosion and Sedimentation Controls Construction personnel are reminded to control erosion and flow conditions during new watercourse crossings by utilizing the following erosion and sedimentation measures which are described and illustrated further in Appendix A: • Straw wattles [see Figure A26 in Appendix A], geotextile silt fencing [see Figure A22 in Appendix A] and/or straw bale barriers [see Figure A21 in Appendix A] may be installed at the edges of earthen roads or construction mat roads to prevent erosion of soil into watercourses from the road fill or tracked soil on construction mats. These controls however should generally not be placed within a watercourse. • Side slopes of earthen roads can be protected by installing erosion control blankets [see Figure A25 in Appendix A] and seeding [see Figure A32 in Appendix A] the area with a fast-growing native or annual grass mix. Best Management Practices – Watercourse Crossings The following are BMPs that are applicable to new access roads watercourse crossings and are described at the following tabs: Stream Crossings without Bridges (includes limiting turbidity and stone crossing; see Figures A05, A06, and A12 in Appendix A) Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-21 Bridged Crossings (includes construction mat bridges and rail car frame bridges; see Appendix A) Dewatering (see Figures A39 – A41 in Appendix A) Stream Crossings Without Bridges: Limiting Turbidity Applications: Stream crossing, turbidity control Limitations: • Limited to areas where stream banks and bottoms will not be significantly damaged by the crossing. Overview/Use: • In some situations, such as routine or emergency maintenance with small ORVs, pickup trucks or tracked equipment, it may be acceptable for equipment to simply travel (perpendicularly) through a stream. • Crossings are generally considered acceptable in situations where there is an existing or historic access road, a stable rock or sand/gravel stream bottom, and/or the crossing is at a relatively narrow reach of the stream and any adjacent wetlands. • Cross streams slowly to minimize in-stream turbidity. Stream Crossings Without Bridges: Stone Crossings Applications: Stream crossing, turbidity control Limitations: • Only use in small (less than 2 feet wide or braided) intermittent streams which do not appear on USGS topographic maps and have a downstream section with a gradient greater than 20%. • Not suitable in areas where there could be a potential for fish passage. • Stone size should be sufficient to allow for macroinvertebrate passage. • Not preferred for new access road crossings; generally more suitable for existing access road crossings. • Project-specific permitting may be required to allow for installation of stone within a stream bed. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting prior to using this crossing method. Overview/Use: • Use to cross small streams with stable stream bottoms. • Carefully place 6-inch to 8-inch clean angular stone within stream at crossing. Limit width of stone to that needed for widest vehicle/equipment to crossing the stream. • Drive over stone slowly. • Leave riprap in intermittent streams for future use. More damage will occur by removing stone. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-22 Bridged Crossings: Construction Mats as Temporary Bridge Applications: Watercourse crossings Limitations: • Installation requires machinery. • May become unstable under high flows. Overview/Use: • Untreated wooden construction mats may be used as a temporary bridge over a stream to allow construction vehicles access to the work site. Construction mat bridging is suitable for crossing intermittent and perennial streams. Before constructing a stream crossing, confirm that the construction mats are capable of supporting the equipment to be used. • Place small sections of matting on either side of the stream parallel to the flow of water at top of banks to act as supports. Then place mats perpendicular to the stream and resting on top of the initial construction mat supports. • Install non-woven geotextile between the first and second layers of matting; install erosion control barriers (e.g., straw bales, straw wattles, silt socks) along edges of timber matting to minimize potential for soil to discharge to the stream. • Use of non-woven geotextile fabric at ORW crossings (MA) is required. Bridged Crossings: Rail Car Frame as Temporary Bridge Applications: Watercourse crossings Limitations: • Requires heavy equipment for transport and installation. • Expensive. • Banks must be stable to support heavy loads. Overview/Use: • Used rail car frames can be used for crossing larger and deeply incised streams where construction mats are unsuitable. • Place the rail car frame perpendicular to the stream flow and between opposing banks. Use timber frame footings, if necessary. Next, place construction matting • Install non-woven geotextile between the first and second layers of matting; install erosion control barriers (e.g., straw bales, straw wattles, silt socks) along edges of timber matting to minimize potential for soil to discharge to the stream. Use of non-woven geotextile fabric at ORW crossings (MA) is required. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-23 Culvert Installation/Repair/Replacement *Contact Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting prior to performing any culvert installations, repairs and/or replacements* Applications: Stream and wetland crossings Limitations: • Permitting and design are required for new culvert installation or expansion of existing culverts over streams and wetlands. Significant regulatory requirements must be followed. Permitting restrictions on time of year use. • Installation may require in-stream work; dewatering and sedimentation concerns. • Culverts are susceptible to washouts, sedimentation, erosion, and failure during heavy wet-weather events and flooding. • Culverts require routine and long-term maintenance because they often become clogged with debris or other obstructions. Overview: Culverts are installed to maintain wetlands or streams at road crossings. Hydraulic calculations are required at all crossings to determine the area that will drain to the culvert. General Design Guidelines: • Size culverts to handle the maximum expected flow of the wetland or watercourse. It is preferable to have one large culvert rather than multiple culverts. Corrugated culverts are favored because they slow the water velocity. HDPE corrugated pipes are preferred to metal. • Design culverts to withstand and accommodate high flows while maintaining existing low flows and not impeding on the movement of indigenous aquatic life. Culverts must be sized to accommodate flows from at least the 100-year storm and preferably 500-year storm. • The maximum velocity at the culvert outlet should be consistent with the velocity of the natural channel. To mitigate higher velocities, use outlet protection measures, energy dissipation, and channel stabilization, if necessary. • Refer to state specific stream crossing guidance documents for additional design requirements: o Connecticut: Stream Crossing Guidelines, CT DEEP, Inland Fisheries Division Habitat Conservation and Enhancement Program, February 26, 2008 (www.ct.gov/deep/lib/deep/fishing/restoration/streamcrossingguidelines.pdf) o Massachusetts: Massachusetts River and Stream Crossing Standards, River and Stream Continuity Partnership, March 1, 2006, Revised March 1, 2011 (https://www.nae.usace.army.mil/Portals/74/docs/regulatory/StreamRive rCo ntinuity/MA_RiverStreamCrossingStandards.pdf) Installation: • Construction mats may be placed over culverts to provide structural protection from heavy loads. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-24 • Backfill culverts with natural substrate matching the upstream and downstream streambed substrate, even when fish passage is not a concern. Other aquatic organisms rely on natural streambed sediment to aid their movement. • Strive to install culverts with minimal disruption to the watercourse and riparian buffer zone. • Culvert length should be as short in length as practicable. Cut culverts to size if they are protruding into the natural streambed. Maintenance: • Remove debris and sediment from culverts to maintain an open channel for flow. A clogged culvert could result in flooding and washout. Pole Fords Applications: Stream Crossings Limitations: • Limited to streams with gently sloping adjacent land. Overview/Use: • Poled fords are used in remote locations where a stream crossing requires a functional BMP, but it is impractical to bring in larger materials. Sufficiently sized wood poles or saw logs of may be laid in the streambed parallel to the flow. • Gently slope the road to and from the streambed at a maximum ratio of 1:5 (V:H). To limit disturbance to the riparian area, install engineering fabric and cover with an aggregate bed at the approach and exit. • Use poles with a minimum length of ten feet. • Remove poles immediately after use. 3.9 Slope Excavation Engineering designs may be required for any changes in upland areas that could potentially direct or channel water across the face of slopes, particularly terrace escarpments or other highly erodible soils. No snow or soil piles, construction materials, or equipment should be stored in the immediate vicinity at the top of the terrace escarpment or other highly erodible soils. 3.10 Vegetation Removal and Preservation Care should be taken to limit disturbance to the extent practicable when removing vegetation. Grubbing is not preferred as it results in considerable ground disturbance that could result in erosion and should be avoided to the extent feasible. Utilize grubbing only when all other methods cannot be used to prepare stable and safe work areas. If grubbing is necessary, the area must be seeded and mulched to protect it prior to the end of the workday. During mowing and trimming, woody debris greater than two (2) inches in diameter should not be placed in wetlands, and no woody debris should be placed in standing water. Permit conditions may mandate all woody debris to be removed from sensitive environmental areas. Mowing must be kept to a minimum, particularly at road crossings. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-25 3.10.1 ROW Vegetation and Eastern Box Turtle (EBT) – MA only Eastern box turtles (EBT) are often found near small streams and ponds and inhabit old fields, deciduous forests, and logged woodlands. Adults are completely terrestrial, while the young may be semiaquatic. EBTs hibernate on land by digging down in the soil between October and April. They have an extremely small home range and can usually be found in the same area year after year. EBT populations have been negatively impacted by the loss of suitable habitat. Some turtles may be killed directly by construction activities, but many more are lost when important habitat areas for shelter, feeding, hibernation, or nesting are destroyed. As remaining habitat is fragmented into smaller pieces, turtle populations can become small and isolated. Turtles are long-lived and the loss of even a single adult turtle can negatively impact the persistence of a local population. Therefore, vegetation removal in ROWs should be performed in a manner that minimizes impacts to turtle populations. Cleared and Maintained ROW—EBTs have been found to use existing ROWs for foraging and nesting. Whenever feasible, perform maintenance mowing in identified habitat during inactive periods (November 1st to March 31st). Turtle BMPs are not required for work performed during the inactive period. If mowing during the active turtle season (April 1st to October 31st) is required, turtle sweeps should be conducted by trained personnel prior to mowing activities; mow vegetation to no lower than seven (7) inches. Use Brontosaurus or Fecon mower heads to minimize the impact to identified habitat areas. Do not used Flail-type mowers during the active season. Additionally: • Avoid direct harm to turtles. Visual inspections (“turtle sweeps”) of the work area must be conducted by trained personnel prior to the commencement of work. If turtles are encountered, they should be removed from the work area and reported to NHESP. Use extra care when using heavy machinery or traveling in vehicles through areas mapped as turtle habitat. Any silt fencing used in these areas should be removed as soon as site stabilization has occurred; fencing can be a barrier to turtle movements. Alternatively, install silt fencing in accordance with the Syncopated Silt Fence detail (see Appendix A). If required, excavation should be completed within one (1) day and/or open excavations should be backfilled daily to prevent turtles from becoming trapped. Uncleared ROW—When project work requires vegetation removal in an uncleared ROW, cut and mow uncleared portions of EBT habitat during the active season (April 1st to November 1st). If clearing must be conducted during hibernation periods, pre-planning will involve conducting a turtle survey and the possible use of telemetry. Consult Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting before performing work because this activity may not be covered under the OMP and may require a permit. 3.10.2 ROW Vegetation and Other Protected Turtles In addition to EBTs, some ROWs overlap with known habitat of other protected species of turtles. In Massachusetts, these species include Blanding’s Turtle, Bog Turtle and Northern Red-bellied Cooter. If any work, including but not limited to vegetation Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-26 management, is scheduled to occur in the habitats of these turtles at any time of the year, avoid wetland work. If unavoidable, operation and maintenance work in wetlands should be minimized to the greatest extent practicable. If work must occur in wetlands, the following guidelines apply: • Any work should be reported to NHESP • Work within wetlands mapped as habitat for the Bog Turtle or Northern Redbellied Cooter must be reviewed on an individual basis by NHESP. Recommended Maintenance Activity if the Existing ROW is: Time Period Turtle Status Cleared and Maintained Uncleared April 1 to November 1 Active Perform only if required— Mow vegetation no lower than seven (7) inches and use recommended mower heads Recommended—Cut and mow uncleared areas November 1 to April 1 Inactive Recommended—Perform maintenance mowing Not recommended— Requires turtle survey at minimum before removing vegetation General Construction Recommendations –The following are general construction guidelines for protecting turtles: • Install silt fencing around the work area prior to construction activity. Consider using syncopated silt fencing (see Figure A23 in Appendix A). • Turtle training is required for all contractors. Apprise workers of the possible presence of turtles and provided a description of the species. Include a turtle sweep reminder on the Daily Tailboard. • Conduct a turtle sweep after installing silt fencing and before conducting work. • Perform daily turtle sweeps in work areas before performing any work. • Carefully move any turtles that are discovered to an area immediately outside of the fenced area. Position turtle in the same direction that it was walking. • Perform work with caution during early morning and evening hours. Take special care not to harm basking or foraging individuals. • Remove silt fencing after work is completed and soils are stable so that reptile and amphibian movement between uplands and wetlands is not restricted. • Return temporary cross-country access routes to pre-construction grade, seed if adequate root and seed stock are absent, and mulch. Do not seed pre-existing sandy soils that are within mapped rare turtle habitats unless directed by Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting in order to avoid altering nesting habitat. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-27 3.10.3 Preservation of Existing Vegetation Preserve the existing vegetation (i.e., groundcovers, vines, shrubs, trees) when practicable to improve soil stability and decrease the runoff volume and velocity. Identify and protect specified trees for erosion and sediment control benefits and/or aesthetic purposes. Consider saving trees that provide shading or screening benefits, particularly in residential areas. Preserve existing vegetation by reducing the width of a cleared ROW at stream crossings. 3.10.4 Invasive Plant Species Invasive plant species are non-native species that invade natural communities and develop self-sustaining populations. The start of many infestations is often tied to a disturbance, and once established, the invasive species spread into undisturbed landscapes. They out-compete native species, disrupting ecological processes, and cause a loss of economic value or output. It is illegal to transport, to introduce, and/or propagate state-listed invasive species. Cleaning, draining and drying equipment between sites is mandated for aquatic invasives, and recommended for terrestrial equipment. Power washing of equipment and gear between sites is recommended, where feasible. At a minimum, visual inspection and hand removal of any plants, seeds, propagules, insects, mud, etc. is encouraged to maintain compliance with state laws and rules. The linear nature of utility maintenance activities in vegetated corridors entails that a range of vegetative communities may be encountered by equipment, vehicles and personnel during the course of a single maintenance project or when mobilizing from one project site to another. It is especially important to follow best management practices when mobilizing equipment, vehicles and personnel from an area infested with invasive species to an un-infested area. 3.10.4.1 Project Planning – Invasive Plant Species Prior to starting utility maintenance work, the project area should be evaluated to determine: • Do invasive plant species exist in the project area? • Do project activities have the potential to contact invasive plants or disturb soils in a manner that could potentially spread live plant parts or viable seeds? • If invasive species are not present, or if it is not possible or not feasible to identify invasive plant species within the project area, follow best management practices to minimize the disturbance and spread of soil and/or plant matter. 3.10.4.2 Species Identification It is imperative that workers who will be working or operating equipment in areas that may contain invasive plant species be trained in the identification and modes of dispersal of common, highly-prolific aquatic and terrestrial invasive plant species commonly found along road sides and in utility ROWs. See tables below for identification of the common invasive plants in Connecticut and Massachusetts.

The list was most recently re-printed in October 2018. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-31 Avoidance and Minimization • If possible, avoid or minimize contact with invasive species by physically avoiding locations with invasive plant infestations. • In locations where invasive infestations exist, design the project to minimize contact with invasive species by choosing access routes and staging areas that are outside areas of infestation. • Sequence work to the extent possible such that work using clean equipment and materials proceeds in un-infested areas prior to moving into infested areas and not vice versa. • If it is unknown whether invasive species exist, design the project to limit travel across vegetated areas to the extent possible. • When possible, time work under conditions that minimize the risk of spread, (frozen ground, snow cover, absence of seeds or propagules). Vegetation Management • Control of invasive plants by chemical means should be performed by a licensed applicator in accordance with the requirements of the CT DEEP Pesticide Management Program, the Massachusetts Pesticide Control Act (MPCA; M.G.L. Chapter 132B) and 333 CMR 2.00, ROW Vegetation Management regulations (333 CMR 11.00), and the MAWPA. • Mechanical mowing of vegetation should adhere to principals of avoidance and minimization. Where possible avoid mowing invasive plants, especially plants that have the ability to sprout from stem and root fragments. For other invasive species, mowing should occur prior to seed set if possible. • If woody vegetation is removed from a project site, transport it in compliance with invasive pest or disease quarantine zones established by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, MA DCR, and MA DAR. • Any restoration seed mixes used should be free of any species identified as invasive by the Connecticut Invasive Plants Council in accordance with Connecticut General Statutes §22a-381a through §22a-381d (in Connecticut) or the Massachusetts Invasive Plants Advisory Group (in Massachusetts). Soil Disturbance and Management • Where possible, avoid soil disturbance as it may increase the chances of colonization by invasive seeds or propagules. • Stabilize disturbed soils as soon as possible by seeding and/or using mulch, straw or gravel that is free of invasive plant material. • Where possible, when excavating soils, top layers of soil containing plant material and roots should be segregated from sub soils and left on site. • Cover soil and other material containing invasive plant material during transport. • Do not transport fill and material containing invasive plant material onto a project site. • If fill and materials containing invasive species must be transported off site, do not reuse, stockpile or dispose of these materials in such a manner that could promote Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-32 the spread of invasive plants. Decontamination Procedures • When utility maintenance activities require work in areas infested with invasive species, implement decontamination procedures per NHDOT’s Best Management Practices for Roadside Invasive Plants manual. • In order to minimize the spread of invasive plant seeds and material: o Clean vehicles, equipment, materials, gear, footwear or clothing of all visible soil and plant material on site in the infested area, or as near as practical to the infested area, prior to leaving the project site. o Do not decontaminate equipment next to streams or water bodies that could potentially transport seeds or propagules. o Decontaminate equipment and materials that may be contaminated by aquatic plant materials adjacent to the surface water they were exposed to prior to use in another surface water body. o Do not transport water withdrawn from a surface water body and discharge it to another water body. Methods of Cleaning • Use a brush, broom or hand tools to manually clean. • Clean debris off equipment such as construction matting by shaking or dropping mats in a controlled manner to dislodge attached soil and debris. • Compressed air. • Containment must be in compliance with wastewater discharge regulations when using low-or high-pressure wash stations. 3.11 Work Pads 3.11.1 De-Energized and Energized Applications: Work in wetlands • Reconnaissance of each work pad area in or adjacent to wetlands should be performed to determine if the construction mat work pad areas could be located outside of wetland resource areas. Wetland disturbances should be avoided or minimized where practicable. Coordinate work pad locations and/or configurations with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Limitations: • Requires heavy machinery for installation. • Significant amount of time required for installation and removal. • Pads for live line work require a considerably larger footprint. • Several layers of matting may be needed in deep, construction areas. • Animals may be injured or killed when attempting to cross work pads. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-33 • May not be suitable in deep/open water wetlands. • Must be underlain with non-woven geotextile if within an ORW (MA only). How to Use: • Work at structures may require placement of construction mats to provide safe and stable work pad areas for employees and contractors. • Live line work, which is work that is done while the line is energized, requires a much larger work pad area. Efforts should be avoid or minimize impacts to wetlands to the extent practicable. • Sizes of work pads vary based on the type of work being proposed. • Work pad areas may extend into wetlands where structures that require maintenance either fall within or are in proximity to wetlands. In these cases, untreated wooden construction mats shall be used to limit disturbance. • Install silt fencing around work pads in identified amphibian and reptile priority habitat and where matting is greater than one mat thick. The exclusionary silt fencing will deter animals from moving across work pads and reduce the likelihood of being crushed by heavy equipment. • Following construction activities all mats at each work pad and vehicle access locations must be removed. • Remove mats by “backing” out of the site and removing mats one at a time. Regrade soils to pre-existing contours while taking care not to compact soils, if necessary. • In areas with invasive species, plant material should be removed from mats following removal from the infested area to prevent the spread of invasive species. Refer to the tables in this section for additional details regarding invasive plant species. 3.11.1.1 Best Management Practices – Work Pads De-energized work requires smaller work pad areas, while live line work (i.e., work that is done while the line is energized) requires a much larger work pad areas. De-energized construction mat work pads (see Figure A14 Appendix A) 3.12 Structure-Related Work 3.12.1 Wetland Structure-related activities that may occur in wetlands include structure replacement/ installation (including casing installation), guy wire anchor installation, counterpoise installation, and pole butt removal. Access to these areas and completion of the activities can cause disturbance to wetland vegetation and soils. Therefore, structure-related activities in wetlands should entail use of adequately sized work pads and proper dewatering methods if/as needed. Inspection of the construction access and associated dewatering measures should occur daily during construction to ensure that controls are in working order and repairs to damaged/deteriorating controls are made in a timely matter. Repairs may include re-grading the traveled surface to eliminate ruts as well as those repairs required by each erosion and sedimentation measure used. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-34 Structure Replacement/Installation Replacement structures will often be replaced within a few feet of the original structure to maintain the required distances and line sags between other existing structures. Therefore, options for relocating proposed replacement structures are limited. Pole replacement will also require placement of construction mats in wetlands to provide a safe work pad for the required structure replacement activities. Usually, there are no alternatives that allow for this work to be conducted from nearby upland areas or to install the replacement structures in upland areas. Each structure replacement area should be assessed to determine the required footprint needed for construction mat work pads. Typical installation is as follows: • At each pole location, remove wetland topsoil with an excavator and stockpile. Segregate wetland soils as necessary. • If a borehole is drilled, collect and dispose of drilling spoils in an upland area. • A galvanized steel casing is then driven into place at least 12 inches below the ground surface. The new pole is installed within the casing with a crane. The casing is then backfilled with crushed rock and compacted. • Stockpiled wetland topsoil is placed above the casing to the ground surface. No net fill in wetlands occur, as the original poles are removed. • Following installation of the new structures, the old structures are removed. Each pole is cut with a chainsaw and allowed to fall to the ground, which in wetland areas is protected by construction mats. If the pole is to be bucked into sections, conduct sawing activities in uplands when feasible. Pole butts will remain in place; if removing the pole butt will cause more damage than if left in place. • Remove the pole and all appurtenant accessories (e.g., cross-arms, insulators) and properly dispose off-site. Remove each pole butt by pulling with an excavator positioned on a construction mat. If it is apparent that pole removal will compromise the integrity of the new pole installation, or that removal will result in additional disturbance to wetland areas, cut off the old pole at least 12 inches below ground level and backfill to match adjacent grades. Guy Wire Anchor Installation Guy wire anchors supporting the structures may also require replacing. There are two types of anchors: 1) helical and 2) plate type. Helical anchors are preferred over plate anchor because the installation of the helical anchor results in less disturbance to the wetland. • Load test the existing anchor to determine whether it will support the pole structure. Consult with Eversource Engineering to determine load testing requirements. In the event the existing anchor cannot be re-used, remove it and install a new anchor. • Screw in place a special triple helix (“screw type”) anchor with an anchor installation rig operated from the matting area. Add rod sections as needed until proper holding capacity of the anchor is achieved. Consult with Eversource Engineering to determine anchor installation requirements. o Helical anchors are turned into the ground with only the rods protruding. Disturbance to the wetland from the helical anchor is minimal. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-35 • Plate anchors are used in wetlands when proper holding cannot be achieved with screw anchors. To install a plate anchor, a pit is excavated to a sufficient depth and if necessary, a concrete footing would be installed several feet below surface grade. Consult with Eversource Engineering to determine plate anchor installation requirements. o When excavating to install plate anchors, segregate the top 12 inches of wetland topsoil from the underlying material. When the plate anchor has been set, backfill the excavation with underlying material. Utilize segregated wetland topsoil to restore pre-construction grades. Counterpoise Installation/Grounding To install grounding equipment in wetlands, use hand digging or minimally invasive methods to dig around the structure and restore soil to previous grades. In some cases, grounding rods can be driven directly into the ground with hand tools. Where work is occurring in the vicinity of wetland areas, sedimentation and erosion controls will be used to limit disturbance to wetlands. Underground Facility Repair/Replacement Underground facilities such as cables and conduits may be present beneath wetland areas. In the event underground facilities require repair, BMPs are required for both access and construction. Construction mats are used for access where warranted, and sedimentation and erosion controls are used to isolate the work area. During excavation activities, excavate wetland topsoil and stockpile separately from subsurface soils. Dewatering is often required during excavation and repair activities. An alternative to repairing a subsurface line by excavation is to install a new line via trenching or horizontal directional drilling (HDD). The decision to use one of these alternatives is made on a case by case basis. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting to determine if any permits will be needed. Pole Butt Removal When transmission poles are decommissioned or otherwise taken out of service, in most cases the entire pole shall be removed. Treated wood pole butts shall be removed completely from the ground and properly disposed at an off-site location. Locations where the removal of pole butts may cause significant disturbance to wetlands or other sensitive environmental areas will be considered for exception to this practice on a site-by-site basis. The Transmission Line Construction and Maintenance Manager, in consultation with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting, will be responsible for determining if a pole butt can be removed if located in a sensitive environmental area. All pole butt holes must be backfilled and compacted (every 3 feet) with appropriate fill material. Existing material on-site can be reused if it does not include materials that can rot (e.g., vegetation) and cause settling. Disposal Treated and non-treated wood products owned by the Transmission Group shall be stored in an area(s) designated by the Transmission Line Construction/Contract Field Services Supervisor until collected by an approved disposal vendor. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-36 Concrete Wash Outs Concrete wash outs shall be used for the management of concrete waste. Concrete and concrete wash out water shall not be deposited or discharged directly on the ground, in sensitive environmental areas, or in catch basins or other drainage structures. Where possible, concrete wash outs shall be located away from sensitive environmental areas, including buffer zones. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting to determine concrete wash out locations prior to their use. Following the completion of concrete pouring operations, the wash outs shall be properly disposed of off-site with other construction debris. 3.13 Underground Cable and Gas Piping-Related Work Gas piping-related activities will typically occur within roadways or along roadway shoulders. There may be some instances where wetland permitting is required when wetlands are located adjacent to or in the vicinity of roadways. However, when work is performed within the roadway/shoulder, permitting is typically not required. Verify permitting requirements with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. In all cases, BMPs should be followed to ensure environmental compliance. Typical examples of underground cable and conduits include: High-Pressure, Fluid-Filled Pipe-Type Cable: A high-pressure, fluid-filled (HPFF) pipe-type of underground transmission line, consists of a steel pipe that contains three high-voltage conductors. The fluid also transfers heat away from the conductors. The fluid is usually static and removes heat by conduction. XLPE Cable (cross-linked polyethylene): Hydronic tubing that is manufactured from polyethylene plastic with a three-dimensional molecular bond that is created within the structure of the plastic. The cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) underground transmission line is often called solid dielectic cable. The solid dielectric material replaces the pressurized liquid or gas of the pipe-type cables. XLPE cable has become the national standard for underground electric transmission lines less than 200 kV. Roadways and Shoulders When working in roadways, particularly in residential areas, the following activities should be performed in addition to standard construction BMPs: • Repave disturbed paved areas and return to original elevations on the same day that construction is performed. • Restore all non-paved areas to pre-existing (or improved) conditions. Replace any sod or other plantings in kind or with an acceptable alternative. • Employ dust control as necessary to minimize airborne dust. • Streets should be swept daily or as necessary to remove dirt and debris from resulting from construction from the roadway surface. Dirt and debris swept from the roadway surface should be collected and properly disposed of as construction waste. Under no circumstances should dirt and debris be swept off of the roadway surface to the road shoulder or deposited in any catch basins. • Discharge trench dewatering volumes to an appropriate dewatering structure setup on adjacent undeveloped, unimproved uplands away from wetlands (refer to Appendix A). Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting staff Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-37 to determine appropriate locations for placement of dewatering structures. • Trench dewatering may also be discharged to areas of open trench to allow for infiltration. • For minor volumes or short-term duration dewatering needs, trench dewatering may be pumped to frac tanks for transport off-site and discharge to an appropriate dewatering structure located at a contractor yard or similar location. • Trench dewatering may only be discharged to stormwater catch basins after all necessary federal, state and local permits have been obtained to do so (this typically requires design and implementation of an effective treatment system to remove all potential contaminants, such as suspended solids or other chemical contaminants). Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting if discharge to catch basins is required. Under certain circumstances, gas piping must be installed beneath existing culverts within roadways. Take care to ensure that any saturated material excavated from the trench be properly stored and disposed as to not cause sedimentation issues. Implement dewatering methodologies, as required. There may be cases where a drainage ditch or swale must be crossed to gain construction access from paved roads onto ROWs along the roadway shoulder. Install construction mats, mat bridges, or temporary culverts, as necessary, to facilitate access. Culverts should be for temporary use, sized for peak flow, and removed after construction is complete. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting prior to installation. Bridges and Culverts Attachment of gas piping to bridges or culverts is the environmentally preferable method for crossing a wetland or watercourse. Consult with the appropriate people (engineers, the Department of Transportation (DOT), etc.) to determine if attachment to a bridge or culvert is a technically feasible option at the desired crossing location. Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting should also evaluate the impacts to FEMA flood storage quantities and potential Coast Guard permitting requirements. Ensure that proper erosion and sedimentation controls are in place on either side of the bridge or culvert throughout construction. Rivers and Streams There are two primary approaches for crossing a river or stream with a gas pipeline: direct bury (open trenching) and trenchless methods (e.g., HDD, standard bore/pipe jacking). Direct bury methods involve erecting a coffer dam to isolate the work area and redirecting water flow using gravity or pumping to move water from one side of the work area to the other. Direct bury methods have larger direct environmental impacts than trenchless methods. Typical coffer dam examples are included in Figures A42 and A43 in Appendix A. Trenchless methods use specialized equipment to install piping beneath a waterbody (or a major roadway, railroad, etc.). The most common method used for gas piping is HDD which uses remote controlled, steerable drilling equipment to install pipe along a long arc alignment. The drilling process can be divided into three steps: pilot, reaming, and pullin. The first step is to drill a pilot bore-hole. Next, a larger diameter fly cutter is used to Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-38 enlarge the opening. A specialized bentonite slurry drilling fluid is injected into the borehole to stabilize the surrounding soil and to lubricate and cool the drill bit. For the final step, a barrel reamer is used to further enlarge the bore-hole and to pull the pipe into place. A notable environmental concern with HDD is called “frac-out.” This occurs when drilling fluid breaks through the soil surface and into the waterbody. Regulatory agencies may require a “frac-out plan” which details preventative controls and response measures should frac-out occur. A typical frac out plan is included in Appendix D; however, HDD contractors should be required to provide a detailed frac-out plan specific to the project and their practices. These plans may be subject to environmental regulatory agency review. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting for permit requirements. 3.14 Construction Material along the ROW Once a site is prepared by clearing and/or installing erosion and sediment controls, materials may be stored along the ROW prior to the start of construction. Such materials may include the following: piping, poles, cross-arms, cable, insulators, stone, and other engineered backfill materials. In general, the stockpiling of stone and other unconsolidated material on construction mats should be avoided. If it is determined necessary due to access and work pad constraints, the material should be placed on a geotextile fabric and be properly contained with a sedimentation barrier such as straw wattle or bales. No construction materials should be placed in wetlands or other sensitive resource areas. 3.15 Winter Construction 3.15.1 Snow Management Snow should not be stockpiled or disposed in any waterbody or near water supply sources. These include wetlands, rivers/streams, the ocean, reservoirs, ponds, stormwater catch basins, wellhead protection area, in high or medium yield aquifer, or within 200 feet of a private well. In addition to water quality impacts and flooding, snow disposed in surface water can cause navigational hazards when it freezes into ice blocks. Maintain a minimum buffer of 25 feet between any snow disposal area and the high water mark of any surface water. A silt fence or equivalent barrier should be installed between the snow storage area and the high water mark of rivers, streams, ponds, or the ocean. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting regarding any specific state and local snow management requirements. Avoid disposing of snow on top of storm drain catch basins or in storm water drainage swales or ditches. Snow combined with sand and debris may block a storm drainage system and cause localized flooding. A high volume of sand, sediment, and litter released from melting snow also may be quickly transported through the system into surface water and could also result in fines or a violation. All debris in a snow storage area should be cleared from the site and properly disposed of no later than May 15 of each year. Care shall be taken not to plow road materials away when removing snow. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-39 3.15.2 De-Icing Where permitted, calcium chloride is the preferred de-icing agent when applied according to manufacturer’s guidelines in upland areas. Sand should be used on construction mats through wetland areas. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting on de-icing agents when working in a facility or substation near resource areas. Many municipalities have specific de-icing agent requirements for work within 100 feet of wetlands and other sensitive environmental areas. 3.15.3 Snow and Ice Management on Construction Mats Promptly and properly remove snow from construction mats to avoid ice formation. Remove snow from construction mats before applying sand to avoid forming ice. A round street sweeping brush mounted on the front of a truck may be an effective way to remove snow from construction mats. Propane heaters may also be suitable solutions for snow removal and/or de-icing of construction mats. Sand should be collected from the construction mats and disposed of in an upland area prior to removing construction mats from wetlands. Once construction mats are removed, wetlands shall be inspected for sand buildup that may have fallen through construction mats. Sand deposited in wetlands or other sensitive environmental areas shall be completely removed by the contractor. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting prior to commencing work in wetlands or other sensitive environmental areas. 3.16 Dust Control Dust control measures are used to reduce surface and air movement of dust from exposed soil surfaces during land disturbance, demolition, and construction activities. These practices reduce the amount of dust in the air and decrease the potential for accidents, respiratory problems, and airborne sedimentation. Construction activities should be scheduled appropriately to minimize the amount of site surface exposed at one time in order to reduce the amount of areas requiring dust control. Use dust control measures on disturbed soil surfaces and exposed soil surfaces, especially during hot or dry weather periods and in areas with excessively well-drained soils. Repetitive treatments should be used as needed, or required by permits, and until the surface is permanently stabilized. Type Description/Use Vegetative Cover • Most effective and practical method. • Use in disturbed areas not subject to traffic. • Follow seeding requirements as directed by local guidelines or permit requirements. Stone • Cover soil surface with crushed stone/coarse gravel. Water/Sprinkling • Sprinkle exposed soils until wet (Water trucks may be used depending on size of the site). • Do not excessively wet the soil as this causes run-off and also wastes water. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-40 Barriers • Board fences, wind fences, and sediment fences control air currents and blowing soil. • Wind barriers protect soil downgradient for a distance of ten times the barrier height. • Perennial grasses and stands of existing trees also serve as wind barriers, stressing the importance of planning work phasing properly and minimizing the amount of exposed soil. Plastic Covering • Cover soil piles with sheets of plastic/tarp to minimize dust. Calcium Chloride • Loose, dry granules of calcium chloride may be applied with a mechanical spreader. • Apply at a rate that keeps the surface moist but not high enough to cause water pollution or plant damage. This method should be done under consultation with an expert in order to maintain this balance and to determine if the site is applicable. 3.16.1 Soil Stockpile Management Some projects may involve excavation and stockpiling of soil. Stockpiles should be located outside sensitive areas to the extent practicable and managed to prevent erosion and sedimentation of adjacent areas. Typical measures include the installation of protective measures (e.g., siltation fence and/or straw bales) around the perimeter of the stockpile. The stockpile must be seeded if left in place for more than 30 days. No snow or soil piles, construction materials, or equipment should be stored in the immediate vicinity at the top of a terrace escarpment slope. 3.16.2 Stockpiles on Construction Mats When soil (or gravel) stockpiles must be staged on construction mat work pads in wetlands, stockpiles should be placed atop areas of matting underlain with non-woven geotextile (either directly atop the mats or between layers of matting) to minimize the potential for material to filter through gaps in matting and deposit in wetlands. Use of construction mat stringers as physical barriers at the edge of the work pad should also be considered. These barriers are recommended to minimize the potential for stockpiled material to get pushed off the work pad into wetlands. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting for site-specific guidance. 3.16.3 Regulated Soils Management When polluted/contaminated soil is encountered, it must be handled in accordance with the appropriate regulatory requirements. In addition to the measures discussed above, contaminated soils should be stockpiled on and covered by polyethylene sheeting. Sheeting used to cover the stockpile should be weighted down to prevent the wind migration of contaminated dust. For soil stockpiles in substations, contact Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. If soil/water must be stored and/or disposed, comply with existing soil and groundwater management guidelines. Coordinate with the Environmental Affairs Department (EAD) to ensure appropriate procedures are followed. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-41 3.16.4 Best Management Practices – Soil Stockpile Management The following BMP is applicable to soil stockpile management and is described at: Soil Stockpile Management (see Figure A19 in Appendix A) 3.17 Anti-Idling Laws Connecticut and Massachusetts have promulgated anti-idling laws for the purpose of improving air quality by reducing unnecessary air pollution from idling vehicles. State Idling Time Limit (in minutes) Connecticut 3 Massachusetts 5 Details of these laws and the statutory exceptions to the limits noted above are presented in the following sections. 3.17.1 Connecticut The Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies (RCSA) section 22a-174-18(b)(3) states: a mobile source shall not operate for more than three (3) consecutive minutes when such mobile source is not in motion except if the vehicle is operating for one of the conditions exempted in the regulation. These exemptions for mobile sources not in motion include: • When a mobile source is forced to remain motionless because of traffic conditions or mechanical difficulties over which the operator has no control. • When it is necessary to operate defrosting, heating or cooling equipment to ensure the safety or health of the driver or passengers. • When it is necessary to operate auxiliary equipment that is located in or on the mobile source to accomplish the intended use of the mobile source. • To bring the mobile source to the manufacturer’s recommended operating temperature. • When the outdoor temperature is below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. • When the mobile source is undergoing maintenance that requires such mobile source be operated for more than three (3) consecutive minutes. • When a mobile source is in queue to be inspected by U.S. military personnel prior to gaining access to a U.S. military installation. 3.17.2 Massachusetts The Massachusetts Anti-Idling Law (M.G.L. Chapter 90, Section 16A and its implementing regulations set forth at 310 CMR 7.11 applies to all vehicles and limits unnecessary engine idling of stopped vehicles to five (5) minutes. This law shall not apply to: • Vehicles being serviced, provided that operation of the engine is essential to the proper repair thereof. Section 3 Construction Considerations Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 3-42 • Vehicles engaged in the delivery or acceptance of goods, wares, or merchandise for which engine assisted power is necessary and substitute alternate means cannot be made available. • Vehicles engaged in an operation for which the engine power is necessary for an associate power need other than movement, and substitute alternate power means cannot be made available provided that such operation does not cause or contribute to a condition of air pollution. SECTION 4 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 4-1 Section 4 Inspection and Maintenance A pre-construction meeting will be held to discuss how often and who is responsible for monitoring erosion and sediment controls to document their condition and recommend maintenance or other corrective actions, as necessary. All BMPs will be inspected at least once per week during active construction and until disturbed areas have stabilized following post-construction site restoration. Construction sites will be inspected after major storm events (rainfall events greater than 0.25 inches (MA) or 0.50 inches (CT)), or as directed by Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. 4.1 During Construction Construction sites, construction access roads, and the associated erosion and sediment controls should be inspected by the person(s) designated at the pre-construction meeting, as required by permit conditions. Any damage observed must be repaired in a timely manner, at least within 48 hours of observation. Repairs may include re-grading and/or top dressing the surface with additional aggregate to eliminate ruts as well as those repairs required by each erosion and sediment measure used. All inspections will be documented in a written report submitted to Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting and saved to the project folder. Copies will be distributed to the relevant contractors if/as directed by Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. 4.1.1 Maintenance of Erosion and Sedimentation Controls Spare erosion and sedimentation control materials such as straw wattles, straw bales and silt fencing should be kept on site or be readily available so they may be replaced if they become non-functional due to deterioration or damaged during a storm, extreme water or wind, or other unexpected events. 4.1.2 Rapid Wetland Response Restoration In the event of unintended discharges of sediment into wetlands, Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting will direct the contractor(s) to quickly control, contain and remove sediment using non- or marginally invasive methods. Responding quickly to unintended discharges minimizes the difficulty and cost of restoration if the sediment is left in place for an extended period of time. Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting will direct sediment removal activities at the time of discharge and will notify the appropriate regulators of the discharge and the recommended corrective actions. 4.1.3 Vehicle Storage and Refueling All storage and refueling of vehicles and other equipment must occur outside of and as far away as practical from sensitive environmental areas such as wetlands, unless specifically authorized by Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting and an alternate protocol is developed and approved internally. The recommended minimum distance from wetlands for storage of fuel and refueling is 100 feet. Additionally, equipment should be checked regularly for evidence of leaks. Construction material storage should also be located at least 100 feet from wetlands. Section 4 Inspection and Maintenance Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 4-2 Storage of larger, less mobile equipment such as drill rigs or large cranes, may be permitting within wetlands subject to prior approval from Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Secondary containment shall be in place at each piece of equipment during non-working hours. Refueling of larger, less mobile equipment such as drill rigs or large cranes, may be allowed within wetlands only with prior approval from Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting and if specified precautions and protocols are followed. A proper location for refueling should be identified and designated before site work begins. At a minimum, if refueling must be conducted in wetlands, the contractor shall provide adequate secondary containment during refueling operations and shall maintain a spill kit on-site at all times. 4.1.4 Spills Spill kits consist of emergency cleanup and spill containment materials that can be used in the event of a fuel or other chemical spill. Spill kits must be kept on site and accessible at all times in case of an emergency spill. Such kits should generally contain multiple absorbent socks and/or pillows and wipes and temporary disposal bags. Follow the applicable Eversource Contractor Work Rules. 4.1.5 Post-Construction Post-construction inspections of restored areas will be conducted at regular intervals throughout the growing season, as required by any applicable permits, and/or after major storm events. Sites should be inspected for success or failure of revegetation, invasive species colonization, and erosion and sedimentation. In the event additional measures are required to achieve site restoration and stabilization, corrective actions shall be identified and implemented. All information collected during inspections, regular maintenance, and repair procedures should be documented in project folders. In addition, photographic or diagrammatic logs may be kept to record certain events and for documentation of project progress and any noteworthy observations. The construction work is not complete until all areas are restored. SECTION 5 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 5-1 Section 5 Rehabilitation and Restoration 5.1 Restoration All areas disturbed by construction, repair, and maintenance activities shall be substantially restored to pre-construction conditions. Please refer to Appendix A for photos and typical details for loaming, seeding, and mulching. Prompt restoration minimizes the extent and duration of soil exposure and protects disturbed areas from erosion due to stormwater runoff, ice, wind and gravity. Stabilization should be conducted as soon as practicable. Where appropriate, it is preferable to allow sensitive environmental areas, such as wetlands and rare species habitat to revegetate naturally. Consult Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting for project-specific restoration requirements. 5.1.1 Seed Mixes Several different seed mixes are available for upland and wetland restoration. State- specific comprehensive summaries of seed mixes for both temporary and permanent seeding of disturbed sites can be found within the following documents: • Massachusetts: Massachusetts Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Urban and Suburban Areas, page 157: https://www.mass.gov/doc/completeerosion-and-sedimentation-control-guidelines-a-guide-for-planners-designersand/download • Connecticut: 2002 Connecticut Guidelines for Soil and Erosion Sediment Control, page 5-3-8: https://portal.ct.gov/DEEP/Water/Soil-Erosion-and-Sediment-ControlGuidelines/Guidelines-for-Soil-Erosion-and-Sediment-Contro l Upland Seed Mix: If significant grading or upland alteration has occurred, annual rye grass seed shall be placed for temporary stabilization following manufacturer’s recommendations after re-grading activities. Wetland Seed Mix: If significant grading or wetland alteration has occurred, a wetland seed mix shall be placed following manufacture’s recommendations after re-grading activities. 5.1.2 Upland The following restoration techniques apply to restoration projects in upland areas. • Soil excavated during construction and not used as backfill must be evenly spread across disturbed areas to restore grades. Topsoil shall be stripped and separated to the extent practicable for re-use. Permanent soil protection shall be provided for all areas disturbed by construction activities. All areas will be seeded either by hydroseeding or broadcast seeding. Interim stabilization measures are required if areas cannot be seeded due to the time of year. Interim measures may include the application of mulch. • Topsoil removed during construction activities will be replaced, seeded, and mulched. • All areas that are broadcast seeded shall be treated with a layer of mulch, such as Section 5 Rehabilitation and Restoration Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 5-2 straw, up to one (1) inch thick to enhance moisture retention, dissipate disturbance from precipitation, and detract birds foraging on broadcast seed. • Rehabilitation of access routes and other areas must be performed as soon as practicable after construction is completed, including reestablishment of water bars or other BMPs to control erosion of the access road, and the removal and restoration of temporary wetland or waterway crossings. o Temporary breaks in construction activities may warrant seeding and mulching of disturbed areas as interim erosion control measures. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting to determine project-specific requirements. • Erosion control measures shall remain in place until soils are adequately stabilized, as confirmed by Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Once soils are stable, erosion controls – especially silt fence, which presents an obstacle to movement of small animals, shall be removed and properly disposed off-site. Stakes should be removed from straw bales and spread as mulch to remove barriers to wildlife movement. • The use of hay and/or hay products is strictly prohibited to prevent the spread of invasive plant species seed stock. • If a grading operation at a site is suspended for a period of more than twenty-nine (29) consecutive days, the disturbed area shall be stabilized by seeding, mulching, and/or other appropriate means within the first seven (7) days of the suspension of grading. • Within seven (7) days after a final grade is established in any grading operation, the disturbed area shall be stabilized by seeding, loaming, and/or other appropriate means. 5.1.3 Wetland/Watercourses Re-grading of Ruts: Upon removal of construction mats, or other BMPs, the wetland/watercourse should be inspected for rutting or disturbance from eroded upland soils. Any rutting should be re-graded to pre-existing contours and upland soils removed from wetland areas while taking care not to compact soils. The following restoration techniques apply to restoration projects in wetlands: Maintenance, Repair, and Emergency Projects (When No Permit is Required) • Remove mats by “backing” out of the site and removing mats one at a time. Regrade soils to pre-existing contours while taking care not to compact soils. • Soils excavated from wetland areas shall be segregated and stockpiled separately (i.e., topsoil/muck apart from mineral subsoil) in a dry/upland area at least 100 feet from wetland boundaries unless other provisions have been made to facilitate restoration activities. • Excavated wetland soils that have been stockpiled during underground utility installations within wetlands shall be replaced in the same order (i.e., mineral subsoil beneath organic topsoil/muck) to the extent practicable and restored to pre-disturbance grades. o Grading activities should include the elimination of ruts within the Section 5 Rehabilitation and Restoration Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 5-3 area to be restored. • If replacement of soil associated with temporary wetland or watercourse crossings for access roads is necessary, disturbed areas must be restored to pre-disturbance grades, either seeded and mulched, or allowed to revegetate from the natural seed bank. • Disturbed wetland areas shall generally be allowed to revegetate from the natural seed bank. Measures to discourage the establishment or spread of plant species identified as non-native, invasive species by federal or state agencies shall be utilized. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting to evaluate means and methods of wetland vegetate re-establishment. • Any restoration plantings or seed mixes used in restoration shall consist of species native to the project area and, if feasible, from local nursery stock. • Any stream banks and beds damaged shall be restored through use of 100 percent natural fiber geotextile erosion control blankets and/or coir logs. The use of erosion control products containing plastic and/or nylon is strictly prohibited. • All seeded areas shall be treated with a layer of mulch (i.e., straw; the use of hay and/or hay products is strictly prohibited) up to one (1) inch thick to enhance moisture retention, dissipate disturbance from precipitation, and detract songbirds foraging on broadcast seed. 5.2 Private Property 5.2.1 Improved Areas If access is over an off-ROW property, then it is the responsibility of a construction representative to determine if legal access rights are available to cross the property. Access to and along the ROW over private property must be improved to the extent necessary to ensure suitable passage for construction equipment, provide erosion control, and maintain proper drainage. Upon completion of construction activities, altered yards, lawns, agricultural areas, and other improved areas must be restored to a condition equal to or better than before their use for the construction project. 5.2.2 Overall Work Site Construction personnel should remove all work-related trailers, buildings, rubbish, waste soil, temporary structures, and unused materials upon satisfactory completion of work. All areas should be left clean, without any litter or equipment (e.g., wire, pole butts, anchors, insulators, cross-arms, cardboard, coffee cups, water bottles) and stabilized to match preconstruction conditions to the maximum extent practicable. Debris and spent equipment should be returned to the operating facility or contractor staging area for disposal or recycling as appropriate. 5.2.3 Material Storage/Staging and Parking Areas Upon completion of all work, all material storage yards, staging areas, and parking areas shall be completely cleared of all waste and debris. Unless otherwise directed or unless other arrangements have been made with an off-ROW or off-property owner, material storage yards and staging areas shall be returned to the condition that existed prior to the installation of the material storage yard or staging area. Regardless of arrangements Section 5 Rehabilitation and Restoration Eversource Best Management Practices Manual 5-4 made with a landowner, all areas shall be restored to their pre-construction condition or better. Any temporary structures erected by the contractor, including fences, shall be removed by the contractor and the area restored as near as possible to its original condition, including seeding and mulching as needed. 5.3 Work in Agricultural Lands Transmission lines often cross agricultural lands. In some instances, this may affect ongoing agricultural activities in and around the ROWs. If a construction or maintenance project occurs within agricultural lands, Eversource will work closely with landowners, licensees and stakeholders to minimize agricultural impacts. Whenever practical, Eversource will make reasonable efforts to coordinate the schedule of construction-related activities around the growing and harvest seasons to minimize the impacts on agricultural operations. When this is not practical, Eversource will pursue reasonable measures to mitigate any impacts. Eversource recognizes that disturbed soils, or soils compacted by heavy construction equipment, may affect the soil’s ability to support certain agricultural activities. Eversource will take reasonable steps to avoid or minimize soil compaction and will restore soils that are compacted by construction equipment. Typical measures to avoid or minimize soil compaction include the use of construction mats for access to, and work pads at, structures within the project scope. Eversource will also work with affected landowners to determine the appropriate method for restoring the soils and is open to discussing and implementing the landowners’ alternative restoration suggestions. After the transmission improvement is complete, Eversource will remove all construction-related equipment and debris from the ROW.

The following list of laws and regulations are most likely to apply to electrical utility projects in the State. • Connecticut Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Act (C.G.S. §§ 22a-36 through 22a45a) • Municipal inland wetland and zoning regulations • Connecticut General Permit for Water Resource Construction Activities (C.G.S. §§ 22a-6, 22a-45a and 22a-378a) • Connecticut Environmental Policy Act (C.G.S. §§ 22a-1a through 22a-1h) • Connecticut Coastal Management Act (C.G.S. §§ 22a-359 through 22a-363; 22a-28 through 22a-35; 22a-90 through 22a-112; 33 U.S.C. § 1314) • Connecticut Water Diversion Policy Act (C.G.S. §§ 22a-365 through 22a-379) • Connecticut Endangered Species Act (C.G.S. §§ 26-303 through 26-315) • Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (C.G.S. §§ 22a-426; 33 U.S.C. § 403) • Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1251) • Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1344) B.2 Geographic Areas Subject to Jurisdiction The following areas are subject to regulatory jurisdiction by at least one of the regulatory programs discussed in this section: It is important to note that more than one jurisdictional resource type may be present at any given location. • Inland wetlands, watercourses (rivers, streams, lakes, ponds), and floodplains • Areas subject to municipal wetlands bylaws or ordinances (these vary by town) • Coastal Resource Areas (beaches, dunes, bluffs, escarpments, coastal hazard areas, coastal waters, nearshore waters, offshore waters, estuarine embayments, developed shorefront, intertidal flats, islands, rocky shorefronts, shellfish concentration areas, shorelands, and tidal wetlands) • Navigable waters • Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) • Rare species habitat as mapped by the Connecticut Natural Diversity Database (NDDB) • Historic/cultural Resources including archaeological resources and above-ground historic resources Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-2 B.3 Applicable Regulatory Agencies Activities subject to jurisdiction under the above-referenced programs will generally be subject to review by one or more regulatory agencies (refer to list below). Most stream and wetland crossings will require notification or consultation with municipal Inland Wetland and Watercourses Agencies, and may require permitting with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) under Sections 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act. Coordination with CT DEEP may also be required for projects located within areas mapped by the Connecticut Natural Diversity Database. • Municipal Conservation Commissions • Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) Land and Water Resources Division (LWRD) • CT DEEP Wildlife Division • CT DEEP Office of Environmental Review • United States Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) New England District • CT State Historic Preservation Office (CT SHPO) The State of Connecticut and the Federal Government define wetlands differently. According to the Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Act, inland wetlands are defined as “land, including submerged land, not regulated pursuant to Sections 22a-28 through 22a35 of the Connecticut General Statutes, as amended, which consists of any of the soil types designated as poorly drained, very poorly drained, alluvial, and floodplain by the National Cooperative Soil Survey, as it may be amended from time to time by the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resource Conservation Service. Such areas may include filled, graded, or excavated sites which possess an aquic (saturated) soil moisture regime as defined by the National Cooperative Soil Survey.” State wetland identification is based solely on the presence of these soil types. “Watercourses" means rivers, streams, brooks, waterways, lakes, ponds, marshes, swamps, bogs and all other bodies of water, natural or artificial, vernal or intermittent, public or private, which are contained within, flow through or border upon this state or any portion thereof. Intermittent watercourses shall be delineated by a defined permanent channel and bank and the occurrence of two or more of the following characteristics: (A) Evidence of scour or deposits of recent alluvium or detritus, (B) the presence of standing or flowing water for a duration longer than a particular storm incident, and (C) the presence of hydrophytic vegetation. The Federal Government defines wetlands as “Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions.” Federal wetland identification is based on a threeparameter approach, where a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology is used to make a wetland determination. Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-3 B.4 Maintenance, Repair, or Emergency Projects Most regulatory programs contain provisions that allow normal maintenance of existing structures and/or response to emergency situations that require immediate attention. Prior to commencement of new construction, all jurisdictional wetland areas within the work corridor should be delineated by a qualified wetland and soil scientist. The specialist shall delineate areas in accordance with the General Statutes of Connecticut (revised January 1, 2007) as set forth at Title 22a Chapter 440 “Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Act”, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual, and any local inland wetland regulations, ordinances or bylaws that may exist. Refer to each set of regulations regarding applicable wetland definitions. Wetland areas shall be clearly demarcated using appropriate flagging tape or similar means. It is important to note that certain jurisdictional wetland areas in Connecticut can actually occur in uplands, such as floodplains. In addition, Upland Review Areas generally apply to work activities and vary in each community. This makes consultation with a wetland specialist particularly important. B.4.1 Maintain, Repair and/or Replace Exemptions or considerations for maintenance, repair, and/or replacement of existing electrical utility structures exist in some environmental regulations, but not all. The exemptions are limited to work related to existing and lawfully located structures where no change in the original structure or footprint is proposed. It is not for the selected contractor of a particular project to make a determination as to whether an activity is exempt. This determination will be made prior to work by the Eversource project manager, in consultation with Eversource environmental staff. These exemptions/considerations are afforded at: • CT Inland Wetlands & Watercourses Act (RCSA § 22a-39-4) • CT General Permit (Section 3) • CT Coastal Management Act (RCSA § 22a-363b) • CT GP [33 CFR 323.4(a)(2)] • CT Water Diversion Policy Act (RCSA § 22a-377(b)1) B.4.2 Emergency Projects Emergency provisions are generally afforded to activities that need to abate conditions that pose a threat to public health or safety. These provisions generally do not allow work beyond what is necessary to abate the emergency condition and will generally require an after-the-fact permit. It is not for the selected contractor of a particular project to make a determination as to whether an activity is an emergency. This determination will be made prior to work by the Eversource project manager, in consultation with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. It is important to note that invocation of an emergency provision does not release the project proponent from reporting requirements. Emergency provisions are afforded at: • CEPA (RCSA § 22a-1a-3) • CT Coastal Management Act (RCSA § 22a-29) • CT GP [33 CFR Part 323.4(a)(2)] Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-4 B.5 Municipal Permitting Work within wetlands, watercourses and designated Upland Review Areas typically requires notification to municipal staff, (Department of Public Works and/or the Inland Wetland and Watercourse Agency staff). In October 1996 the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control opened a docket (Docket Number 95-08-34) to conduct a generic investigation on the allocation of siting jurisdiction over utility plant facilities. This included an investigation as to whether local authorities (including local Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Agencies) have jurisdiction over public utility projects. The investigation resulted in several orders which provide guidance on how public utility companies should coordinate with municipalities on the construction of new facilities, upgrades, significant maintenance activities, and routine maintenance activities. • For the construction of new facilities, alterations to existing facilities (including upgrades) or significant maintenance involving substantial disturbance of soil, water or vegetation which would regularly fall under the review requirements of certain local authorities (ie. Planning and Zoning Authority; Inland Wetlands Commission; Public Works Department; Historic District Commission), the utility shall at least notify and consult with such local authority, or its designated agent or staff, toward the development of mutually agreeable schedules and procedures for the proposed activity. • For routine maintenance activities or alterations to existing facilities (including upgrades) involving minor disturbance of soil, water or vegetation which would regularly fall under the review and approval requirements of certain local authorities, the utility shall make local authorities or their designated agent or staff aware of such ongoing activities. B.6 CT Department of Energy & Environmental Protection If the project requires formal permitting with the ACOE (Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) or Individual Permit), copies of the application should be forwarded to CT DEEP for review under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The CT DEEP requires that a GP Addendum form be completed and submitted along with the ACOE application. If the project qualifies for Self-Verification Notification (SVNF) under the ACOE GP, the project also is granted authorization (Water Quality Certification, WQC) with no formal application under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, provided the project meets the additional WQC general conditions. The general conditions commonly applicable to utility projects include: • Prohibiting dumping of any quantity of oil, chemicals, or other deleterious material on the ground; • Immediately informing the CT DEEP Oil and Chemical Spill Response Division at (860) 424-3338 (24 hours) of any adverse impact or hazard to the environment including any discharge or spillage of oil or chemical liquids or solids; • Separating staging areas at the site from the regulated areas by silt fences or stray/hay bales at all times; • Prohibiting storage of any fuel and refueling of equipment within 25 feet from any wetland or watercourse; • Following the document “Connecticut Guidelines for Soil and Erosion Control,” inspecting employed controls at least once per week, after each rainfall, and at least daily during prolonged rainfall, and correcting any deficiencies within 48 hours of being found. Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-5 • Prohibiting the storage of any materials at the site which are buoyant, hazardous, flammable, explosive, soluble, expansive, radioactive, or which could in the event of a flood be injurious to human, animal or plant life, below the elevation of the • 500 year flood. Any other material or equipment stored at the site below this elevation must be firmly anchored, restrained or enclosed to prevent flotation. The quantity of fuel for equipment at the site stored below such elevation shall not exceed the quantity of fuel that is expected to be used by such equipment in one day. • Immediately informing CT DEEP at (860) 424-3019 and the ACOE at (617) 647- 8674 of the occurrence of pollution or other environmental damage in violation of the WQC, and within 48 hours support a written report including information specified in the general conditions. If the project falls within areas mapped by the Connecticut Natural Diversity Database, or is less than 0.50 miles upstream or downstream of a mapped area, a data request and possible coordination will be required with the Natural Diversity Database. If a project is located within tidal, coastal or navigable waters of the state or in tidal wetlands, permitting may be required with the CT DEEP LWRD. For the routine maintenance of previously permitted structures or structures that were in place prior to June 24, 1939, no permitting is required. For significant maintenance of previously permitted structures or structures that were in place prior to June 24, 1939, a Certificate of Permission is required. For new projects a Structures, Dredging and Fill Permit and/or a Tidal Wetlands Permit may be required. The CT DEEP LWRD should be consulted prior to preparing permits to conduct a pre-application meeting and determine the appropriate permitting route. B.7 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Work within wetlands and waters of the United States is subject to jurisdiction under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, which is administered by the ACOE. Work within navigable waters is also administered by the ACOE under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. The ACOE has issued Department of the Army General Permits for the State of Connecticut and Land Located within the Boundaries of an Indian Reservation (CT GPs) which establishes categories for projects based on their nature of impacts. The current permit was issued on December 15, 2021, and expires on December 15, 2026. Applications are not required for Self-Verification (SV) projects, but submittal of a SelfVerification Notification Form (SVNF) before the work occurs and submittal of a Compliance Certification Form within one month after the work is completed is required. The SVNF and Compliance Certification Form entail self-certification by applicants that their project complies with the terms and conditions of SV under the CT GPs. PreConstruction Notification (PCN) projects require the submittal of an application to the ACOE, followed by a screening of the application by the ACOE, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and CT DEEP, and consultation with the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism and Tribal Historic Preservation Officers (THPOs). PCN projects may not proceed until written approval from the ACOE is received. Written approval is generally provided within 45 days of the multi-agency screening. After written approval is received, a Work-Start Notification Form must be submitted before the work occurs, and a Compliance Certification Form must be submitted within one month after the work is completed. Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-6 For work proposed within a FEMA floodway or floodplain, the ACOE recommends that the applicant apply for and receive a Flood Management Certification (if required), prior to applying to the ACOE. Additionally, applications for PCN inland projects that propose fill in ACOE jurisdiction must include an Invasive Species Control Plan (ISCP), unless otherwise directed by the ACOE. An Individual Permit (IP) requires a formal permit application to be submitted to the ACOE. The application is reviewed in detail by both state and federal agencies, and a Public Notice is released for public comment. Projects which trigger an IP generally result in significant impacts to wetlands and/or watercourses. Stream and wetland crossings are only subject to jurisdiction under the ACOE if there is a discharge of dredge or fill material into wetlands or waters of the United States. Equipment access through a stream or wetland with no structural BMP is not regulated by the ACOE if there is no discharge of dredge or fill material (note that equipment rutting as a result of not using an appropriate BMP can be considered a “discharge of dredge material”). Similarly, the use of a timber or rail car bridge that extends from bank to bank with no stream impacts is not regulated by the ACOE. Additionally, the use of timber mats and stone is considered “fill material” by the ACOE, and must be calculated to determine overall impacts. Temporary mats are not counted towards the 1-acre PCN threshold if they are adequately cleaned after previous use, removed immediately after completion of construction and disposed of at an upland site. Maintenance, including emergency reconstruction of currently serviceable structures, is exempt from ACOE jurisdiction and does not require formal permitting. Maintenance does not include any modification that changes the character, scope, or size of the original fill design. Emergency reconstruction must occur within a reasonable period of time after damage occurs to qualify for this exemption. Stream and wetland crossings that involve the discharge of dredge and fill material may be conducted under SV if the work complies with the general conditions and SV criteria of the CT GPs. The following are SV criteria that are commonly applicable to stream and wetland crossings in utility rights of way. See Section 1.8 for additional criteria for culvert crossings: • The work results in less than 5,000 square feet of impacts to wetlands or Waters of the United States. Replacement of utility line projects with impacts solely within wetlands greater than 5,000 square feet may be eligible for SV Authorization after consultation with the ACOE about the specific project; • Temporary fill, with the exceptions of swamp and timber mats, discharged to wetlands shall be placed on geotextile fabric laid on the pre-construction wetland grade. Unconfined temporary fill discharged into flowing water (rivers and streams) shall consist only of clean stone. All temporary fill shall be removed as soon as it is no longer needed, and disposed of at an appropriate upland site. • Any unconfined in-stream work, including construction, installation or removal of sheet pile cofferdam structures, is conducted during the low-flow period between July 1 and September 30. However, installation of coffer dams, other than sheet pile cofferdams, is not restricted to the low-flow period and must be installed between July 1 and March 31 and must not encroach > 25% of the stream width measured from OHW during the prohibited work window; • No work will occur in the main stem or tributary streams of the Connecticut River watershed that are being managed for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). (Work of this Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-7 nature requires screening for potential impacts to designated Essential Fish Habitat.); • The work does not result in direct or secondary impacts to Special Wetlands, Threatened, Endangered or Special Concern Species, or Significant Natural Communities identified by the Connecticut Natural Diversity Database. Work within 750 feet of vernal pools shall be minimized; • The project does not require an ACOE permit with associated construction activities within 100 feet of Special Wetlands; • The project does not result in fill placed within a FEMA established floodway, unless the applicant has a State of Connecticut Flood Management Certification pursuant to Section 25-68d of the Connecticut General Statutes; • The project does not result in fill placed within a FEMA established floodplain that would adversely affect the hydraulic characteristics of the floodplain; • The project does not entail stormwater detention or retention in inland waters or wetlands; • The project is not located in a segment of a National Wild and Scenic River System (includes rivers officially designated by Congress as active study status rivers for possible inclusion) or within 0.25 miles upstream or downstream of the main stem or tributaries to such a system; • The project has no potential for an effect on a historic property which is listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places; • The project does not impinge upon the value of any National Wildlife Refuge, National Forest, or any other area administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service or National Park Service; • Section 106 needs to be taken into account for all work that requires federal permitting – including SV; • The project does not use slip lining, plastic pipes, or High Density Polyethylene Pipes (HDPP). • Appropriate BMPs are employed in regard to heavy equipment in wetlands (General Condition 16) and sedimentation and erosion controls (General Condition 20). • Disturbed inland wetland areas are restored in accordance with General Condition 18. Stream and wetland crossings that involve the discharge of dredge and fill material may be conducted under PCN if the work complies with the general conditions and PCN criteria of the CT GPs. The following are PCN criteria that are commonly applicable to stream and wetland crossings in utility ROWs. See Section 1.8 for additional criteria for culvert crossings: • The work results in less than one acre of impacts to wetlands or Waters of the United States; • The project does not result in fill placed within a FEMA established floodplain that would adversely affect the hydraulic characteristics of the floodplain; • The project does not entail stormwater detention or retention in inland waters or wetlands. • Temporary fill, with the exceptions of swamp and timber mats, discharged to Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-8 wetlands shall be placed on geotextile fabric laid on the pre-construction wetland grade. Unconfined temporary fill discharged into flowing water (rivers and streams) shall consist only of clean stone. All temporary fill shall be removed as soon as it is no longer needed, and disposed of at an appropriate upland site. • Appropriate BMPs are employed in regard to heavy equipment in wetlands (General Condition 16) and sedimentation and erosion controls (General Condition 20). • Disturbed inland wetland areas are restored in accordance with General Condition 18. Stream and wetland crossings that cannot meet SV or PCN criteria may require review under an IP. The ACOE should be consulted before assuming an IP will be required, as exceptions can be made under certain circumstances. GP1.

Coordination with CT DEEP may also be required for projects located within areas mapped by the Connecticut Natural Diversity Database. For work within tidal, coastal or navigable waters or in tidal wetlands, permitting will be required with the CT DEEP LWRD. B.8.1 Municipal Permitting See Section 1.5 for general local permitting guidance. • For the installation of new culverts and the replacement of culverts that involve substantial disturbance of soil, water or vegetation which would regularly fall under the review and approval requirements of certain local authorities (i.e., Planning and Zoning Authority; Inland Wetlands Commission; Public Works Department; Historic District Commission), the utility shall at least notify and consult with such local authority, or its designated agent or staff, toward the development of mutually agreeable schedules and procedures for the proposed activity. • For the replacement of culverts involving only minor disturbance of soil, water or vegetation which would regularly fall under the review and approval requirements of certain local authorities, the utility shall make local authorities or their designated agent or staff aware of such ongoing activities. B.8.2 CT Department of Energy & Environmental Protection If the project requires formal permitting with the ACOE, copies of the application should be forwarded to CT DEEP for review under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. CT DEEP requires that a PGP Addendum form be completed and submitted along with the ACOE application. If a culvert project falls within areas mapped by the Connecticut Natural Diversity Database or falls within 0.50 miles upstream or downstream of a mapped area, a data request and possible coordination will be required with the Natural Diversity Database. If a culvert project is located within tidal, coastal or navigable waters of the state or in tidal wetlands, permitting will be required with the CT DEEP LWRD. For new projects a Structures, Dredging and Fill Permit and/or a Tidal Wetlands Permit will be required. For replacement structures which were previously permitted, or which were in place prior to June 24, 1939, a Certificate of Permission may only be required, which entails a shorter permitting process. B.8.3 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers See Section 1.7 for general ACOE permitting requirements. Open bottom arches, bridge spans or embedded culverts are preferred over traditional culverts and are required for SV projects. However, where site constraints make these approaches impractical, the ACOE should be consulted. New bridge or open-bottom structure crossings may be conducted under SV or PCN if the following criteria are met in addition to meeting any applicable general criteria listed in section 1.7 of this manual: • The work spans at least 1.2 times the watercourse bank full width; Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-10 • The structure has an openness ratio equal to or greater than 0.25 meters; • The structure allows for continuous flow of the 50-year frequency storm flows. New culvert installations may be conducted under SV if the work complies with the general conditions and SV criteria of the CT GPs. The following are SV criteria that are commonly applicable to new culvert installations in utility right of ways: • Work is conducted in accordance with the design requirements listed in Section 3.1.3 of the BMP Manual; Plastic and High Density Polyethylene Pipes (HDPE) are not used; • The work results in less than 5,000 square feet of impacts to wetlands or Waters of the United States; • Any unconfined in-stream work, including construction, installation or removal of sheet pile coffer dam structures, is conducted during the low-flow period between July 1 and September 30, except in instances where a specific written exception has been issued by the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection. However, installation of coffer dams, other than sheet pile coffer dams, is not restricted to the low-flow period; • No open trench excavation is conducted within flowing waters. Work within flowing waters can be avoided by using temporary flume pipes, culverts, coffer dams, etc. to isolate work areas and maintain normal flows; • The tributary watershed to the culvert does not exceed 1.0 square mile (640 acres); • The culvert gradient (slope) is not steeper than the streambed gradient immediately upstream or downstream of the culvert; • For a single box or pipe arch culvert crossing, the inverts are set not less than 12 inches below the streambed elevation; • For a multiple box or pipe arch culvert crossing, the inverts of one of the boxes or pipe arch culverts are set not less than 12 inches below the elevation of the streambed; • For a pipe culvert crossing, the inverts are set such that not less than 25% of the pipe diameter or 12 inches, whichever is less, is set below the streambed elevation; • The culvert is backfilled with natural substrate material matching upstream and downstream streambed substrate; • The structure does not otherwise impede the passage of fish and other aquatic organisms; • The structure allows for continuous flow of the 50-year frequency storm flows; • The work does not result in direct or secondary impacts to Special Wetlands, Threatened, Endangered or Special Concern Species, or Significant Natural Communities identified by the Connecticut Natural Diversity Database. Work within 750 feet of vernal pools shall be minimized; • The project does not require an ACOE permit with associated construction activities within 100 feet of Special Wetlands; • The project does not result in fill placed within a FEMA established floodway, unless the applicant has a State of Connecticut Flood Management Certification pursuant to section 25-68d of the Connecticut General Statutes; Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-11 • The project does not result in fill placed within a FEMA established floodplain that would adversely affect the hydraulic characteristics of the floodplain; • The project does not entail stormwater detention or retention in inland waters or wetlands; • The project is not located in a segment of a National Wild and Scenic River System (includes rivers officially designated by Congress as active study status rivers for possible inclusion) or within 0.25 miles upstream or downstream of the main stem or tributaries to such a system; • The project has no potential for an effect on a historic property which is listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places; • The project does not impinge upon the value of any National Wildlife Refuge, National Forest, or any other area administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service or National Park Service. • Appropriate BMPs are employed with regard to sedimentation and erosion controls (General Condition 20). New culvert installations may be conducted under PCN if the work complies with the general conditions and PCN criteria of the GP. The following are PCN criteria that are commonly applicable to new culvert installations in utility right of ways: • Work is conducted in accordance with the design requirements listed in Section 3.1.3 of the BMP Manual; • The work results in less than one acre of impacts to wetlands or Waters of the United States; • The project does not result in fill placed within a FEMA established floodplain that would adversely affect the hydraulic characteristics of the floodplain; • There is no practicable alternative location for the crossing that would have less environmental impacts; • The use of a bridge or open-bottom structure is determined to be not practicable; • For a single box or pipe arch culvert crossing, the inverts are set not less than 12 inches below the streambed elevation; • For a multiple box or pipe arch culvert crossing, the inverts of one of the boxes or pipe arch culverts are set not less than 12 inches below the elevation of the streambed; • For a pipe culvert crossing, the inverts are set such that not less than the pipe diameter or 12 inches, whichever is less, is set below the streambed elevation; • The culvert is backfilled with natural substrate material matching upstream and downstream streambed substrate; • The culvert has an openness ratio equal to or greater than 0.25 meters; • The structure does not result in a change in the normal water surface elevation of the upstream waters or wetlands; • The structure allows for continuous flow of the 50-year frequency storm flows; • Appropriate BMPs are employed with regard to sedimentation and erosion controls (General Condition 20). Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Appendix B B-12 New culvert installations that cannot meet SV or PCN criteria may require review under an IP. The ACOE should be consulted before assuming an IP will be required, as exceptions can be made under certain circumstances. In-kind replacement of culverts using the same materials is exempt from Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and does not require permitting with the ACOE. The ACOE, however, should be consulted before assuming an activity is exempt from their jurisdiction. Consult with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Bridge or open-bottom structure replacements may be conducted under SV if the conditions for a new bridge or open-bottom structure replacement have been met. In addition, bridge or open-bottom structure replacements should not result in a change in the normal surface elevation of the upstream waters or wetland, and the replacement structure should have a riparian bank on one or both sides for wildlife passage. Culvert replacements may be conducted under SV if the conditions for new culvert installation are met. Bridge or open-bottom structure replacements may be conducted under PCN if the conditions for a new bridge or open-bottom structure replacement have been met. Culvert replacements may be conducted under PCN if the following conditions are met: • The work results in 5,000 square feet to less than one acre of impacts to wetlands or Waters of the United States; • The use of a bridge or open-bottom structure is determined to be not practicable; • For a single box or pipe arch culvert crossing, the inverts are set not less than 12 inches below the streambed elevation; • For a multiple box or pipe arch culvert crossing, the inverts of one of the boxes or pipe arch culverts are set not less than 12 inches below the elevation of the streambed; • For a pipe culvert crossing, the inverts are set such that not less than the pipe diameter or 12 inches, whichever is less, is set below the streambed elevation; • The culvert is backfilled with natural substrate material matching upstream and downstream streambed substrate; • The culvert has an openness ratio equal to or greater than 0.25 meters; • The structure does not result in a change in the normal water surface elevation of the upstream waters or wetlands; • The structure allows for continuous flow of the 50-year frequency storm flows; • Appropriate BMPs are employed with regard to sedimentation and erosion controls (General Condition 20).

Publicly available data only allows for identification of designated Priority Habitats of Rare Species and Estimated Habitats of Rare Wildlife, not specific species information. Priority and Estimated Habitat locations are available online via the Massachusetts Geographic Information System (MassGIS) viewer. Species specific information is provided for planned linear transmission maintenance activities which are reviewed by NHESP as part of Eversource’s annual Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Plan. Projects/ activities which are not covered in the O&M Plan must file an independent request for information or initiate coordination with NHESP through Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. Applicable regulations and agency are listed below: • Massachusetts Endangered Species Act: 321 CMR 10.00 – Division of Fisheries and Wildlife – NHESP C.2.2 Vernal Pools NHESP maintains a database of certified and potential vernal pools in Massachusetts. These data are available on the NHESP website and MassGIS. Certified Vernal Pools (CVP) are considered Outstanding Resource Waters (ORWs). The current version of the Department of the Army General Permits for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (MA GPs), effective date April 16, 2018 (expiration date: April 5, 2023) includes General Conditions for protection of vernal pools, regardless of whether or not the vernal pool is certified by NHESP, and including the vernal pool depression, the vernal pool envelope (area within 100 feet of the vernal pool depression’s edge), and the critical terrestrial habitat (area within 100-750 feet of the vernal pool depression’s edge). Temporary impacts associated with construction mats in previously disturbed areas of existing utility projects rights-of-way are exempt from GP requirements regarding work in the vernal pool envelope or critical terrestrial habitat, provided that a Vegetation Management Plan (VMP) exists that avoids, minimizes and mitigates impacts to aquatic resources. Applicable regulations and agencies for Certified Vernal Pools (CVPs) are listed below: • Wetlands Protection Act: 310 CMR 10.00 – Municipal Conservation Commissions (and MassDEP) • 401 Water Quality Certification for Discharge of Dredged or Fill Material, Dredging, and Dredged Material Disposal in Waters of the U.S. within the Commonwealth: 314 CMR 9.00 – MassDEP • Department of the Army General Permits for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts – ACOE C.2.3 Essential Fish Habitat and Wild & Scenic River Designation Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) is a habitat essential for spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity of federally managed species. This website provides more information: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/region/new-england-mid-atlantic#habitat. Consultation Appendix C C-3 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 with the ACO is recommended to confirm the location of Essential Fish Habitat with respect to a proposed project. Massachusetts has approximately 8,229 miles of river, of which 147.1 miles are designated as wild & scenic, as summarized below: • Nashua River (Main Stem from the confluence of the North and South Rivers in Lancaster, and extending north to the MA-NH border; some geographic exclusions) • Squannacook River (from headwaters in Ash Swamp/Townsend, extending downstream to the confluence with the Nashua River in Shirley/Ayer; some geographic exclusions) • Nissitissit River (from headwaters in Brookline (NH) to confluence with the Nashua River in Pepperell) • Sudbury River (14.9-mile segment from Danforth Street Bridge/Framingham downstream to the Route 2 Bridge/Concord; 1.7-mile segment • Assabet River • Concord River • Westfield River (Main Stem, East Branch, Middle Branch, West Branch, and named tributaries • Taunton River (main stem from headwaters at the confluence of the Town and Matfield Rivers (Bridgewater) downstream 40 miles to confluence with the Quequechan River at the Route 195 Bridge (Fall River) Currently, there are no river segments under study in Massachusetts for National Wild and Scenic designation (https://www.rivers.gov/study.php). Wild and Scenic designations should be verified via the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System website (https://www.rivers.gov/massachusetts.php) during project planning and permitting. The ACOE reviews projects for impacts to both EFH and National Wild and Scenic Rivers. • Department of the Army General Permits for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts – ACOE C.2.4 Cold-water Fishery Resources The Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife) maintains a list of waters that are known to have cold-water fishery resources (CFRs) which are waters in which the mean of the maximum daily temperature over a seven day period generally does not exceed 68°F (20°C) and, when other ecological factors are favorable (such as habitat), are capable of supporting a year round population of cold-water stenothermal aquatic life. CFRs are not currently regulated in and of themselves in Massachusetts. However, MassDEP is particularly concerned with water quality impacts to CFRs due to erosion and sedimentation as a result of construction projects. Appendix C C-4 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 C.2.5 Outstanding Resource Waters Outstanding Resource Waters (ORWs) include Certified Vernal Pools (CVPs), surface drinking water supplies, tributaries to surface drinking water supplies and vegetated wetlands adjacent thereto. CVPs are designated by NHESP and locations are available through MassGIS. Locations of surface drinking water supplies and other ORWs, typically identified as Zone A, are also available through MassGIS. The applicable regulations and agency are listed below: • 401 Water Quality Certification for Discharge of Dredged or Fill Material, Dredging, and Dredged Material Disposal in Waters of the U.S. within the Commonwealth: 314 CMR 9.00 – MassDEP C.2.6 Historic/Cultural Resources The Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC) is the State Historical Preservation Office (SHPO) and, along with the Board of Underwater Archaeological Resources (BUAR), are the state agencies responsible for protecting the Commonwealth’s historic and cultural resources. Additional stakeholders for cultural resources include the Massachusetts Commission on Indian Affairs, Native American tribes with interests in the state, and local historical commissions. C.3 Applicable Regulatory Agencies Activities subject to jurisdiction under the above-referenced programs will generally be subject to review by one or more regulatory agencies (refer to list below). New stream and wetland crossings not related to maintenance will require permitting with municipal Conservation Commissions, and may require permitting with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) under Sections 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act. Any non-maintenance work within Land Under Water will require permitting with the MassDEP Division of Wetlands and Waterways. Coordination with NHESP may also be required for projects located within areas mapped as Priority and/or Estimated Habitat for state-listed rare species. For work within navigable waters, consultation may be required with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (MA CZM). • Municipal Conservation Commissions • Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) Division of Wetlands and Waterways • Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife: Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) • Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) • United States Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) New England District • Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (MA CZM) • Massachusetts Division of Conservation and Recreation (MA DCR) C.4 Maintenance, Repair, or Emergency Projects Most regulatory programs contain provisions that allow normal maintenance of existing structures and/or response to emergency situations that require immediate attention. C.4.1 Maintain, Repair and/or Replace Exemptions or considerations for maintenance, repair, and/or replacement of existing electrical utility structures exist in some environmental regulations, but not all. The exemptions are limited to work related to existing and lawfully located structures where Appendix C C-5 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 no change in the original structure or footprint is proposed. It is not for the selected contractor of a particular project to make a determination as to whether an activity is exempt. This determination will be made prior to the commencement of work by the Eversource project manager in consultation with Eversource Environmental Licensing and Permitting. These exemptions/considerations are afforded at: • MAWPA (M.G.L Chapter 131, § 40, paragraph 1) • MAWPA regulations for Riverfront Area (310 CMR 10.58(6)) • MEPA regulations (301 CMR 11.01(2)(b)(3)) • 33 CFR Part 323.4(a)(2) • MESA (M.G.L. Chapter 131A, § 3; 321 CMR 10.14(5-7) and (12) • MAWPA (350 CMR 11.05(11) and (12)) • National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), Construction General Permit (as modified effective February 16, 2012) Certain operation and maintenance activities that will directly impact Waters of the United States through the discharge of fill (e.g., construction mats) are subject to Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act. C.4.2 Emergency Projects Emergency provisions are generally afforded to activities that need to abate conditions that pose a threat to public health or safety. These provisions generally do not allow work beyond what is necessary to abate the emergency condition and will generally require an after-the-fact permit. It is not for the selected contractor of a particular project to make a determination as to whether an activity is an emergency. This determination will be made prior to work by the Eversource project manager, in consultation with Eversource environmental staff. It is important to note that invocation of an emergency provision does not release the project proponent from reporting requirements. Emergency provisions are afforded at: • MAWPA regulations (310 CMR 10.06) • MEPA (301 CMR 11.00) • MA 401 WQC (314 CMR 9.12) • Chapter 91 (310 CMR 9.20) • MESA (321 CMR 10.15) C.5 Municipal Permitting Work within wetlands, watercourses and Buffer Zones typically requires permitting with municipal Conservation Commissions. Work that entails “maintaining, repairing or replacing, but not substantially changing or enlarging, an existing and lawfully located structure or facility used in the service of the public and used to provide electric service” is exempt under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (MAWPA) per MGL Chapter 131 Section 40. However, individual municipalities may establish their own wetlands bylaws under Home Rule authority which could require permitting for operation and maintenance activities. The following table lists communities in which Eversource operates and maintains infrastructure and which have a wetland bylaw.

C.6 MA Department of Environmental Protection Review and approval under the Commonwealth’s Water Quality Certification Regulations Appendix C C-9 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 is required for “discharge of dredged or fill materials, dredging, and dredged material disposal activities in waters of the United States within the Commonwealth which require federal licenses or permits and which are subject to state water quality certification under 33 U.S.C. 1251, et seq. The federal agency issuing a permit initially determines the scope of geographic and activity jurisdiction” (314 CMR 9.01(2)). An individual Water Quality Certification is required from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) for any activity identified at 314 CMR 9.04. In accordance with 314 9.04 (4) activities which are exempt from MGL Chapter 131 Section 40 but are subject to 33 U.S.C. 1251, et seq., and will result in any discharge of dredge or fill material to bordering vegetated wetlands or land under water require an individual 401 Water Quality Certification. Eversource entered into an Administrative Consent Order (ACO) with MassDEP in 2017. This ACO serves as a general permit under the 401 Water Quality regulations (314 CMR 9.00) and establishes general conditions for routine operation and maintenance activities within existing ROWs. C.7 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Work within wetlands and waters of the United States is subject to jurisdiction under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, which is administered by the ACOE. The General Permits for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (MA GPs) establish categories for projects based on their nature of impacts. The MA GPs were most recently issued on April 16, 2018, and expire on April 5, 2023. Certain minor activities are eligible for Self-Verification (SV), which requires submittal of a Self-Verification Notification Form (SVNF) prior to the commencement of work. Activities eligible for Self-Verification are authorized under the MA GPs and may proceed without written verification from the ACOE as long as the SVNF has been submitted and the activity meets the terms and conditions of the applicable MA GPs. Activities requiring Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) require the submittal of an application to the ACOE, followed by a screening of the application by the ACOE, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Marine Fisheries Service, MassDEP, and consultation with the Massachusetts Historical Commission, Tribal Historic Preservation Officers (THPOs) and the Massachusetts Board of Underwater Archaeological Resources (BUAR). PCN projects may not proceed until written verification from the ACOE is received. An Individual Permit (IP) requires a formal permit application to be submitted to the ACOE. The application is reviewed in detail by both state and federal agencies, and a public notice is released for public comment. Projects which trigger an Individual Permit generally result in significant impacts to wetlands and/or watercourses outside the limits of the MA GPs. Work within, or above, Navigable Waters is also administered by the ACOE under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. ACOE permitting does not apply to activities that fall under the maintenance exemption set forth at 33 CFR 323.4(a)(2) – Discharges Not Requiring Permits: “Maintenance, including emergency reconstruction of recently damaged parts, of currently serviceable structures such as dikes, dams, levees, groins, riprap, breakwaters, causeways, bridge abutments or approaches, and transportation structures. Maintenance does not include any modification that changes the character, scope, or size of the original fill design. Emergency reconstruction must occur within a reasonable period of time after damage occurs in order to qualify for this exemption.” Appendix C C-10 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 Maintenance projects that occurred prior to the ACOE jurisdiction over fill activities, or that were properly permitted, can proceed under the maintenance exemption noted above, provided that the same temporary fill areas are used. However, it is recommended that a formal determination be requested from the ACOE to confirm these activities are exempt. The repair, rehabilitation or replacement of a previously authorized, currently serviceable structure or fill (with some minor deviations in the structure’s configuration or filled area) are regulated under MA GP1 and subject to SV or PCN. Also, operation and maintenance related activities that do not meet the above exemption may qualify for SV. In that case, it is recommended that a copy of the SVNF be submitted to MassDEP. The MA GPs are listed below. MA GPs specifically, and typically, applicable to utility projects are emphasized by bold italic font: GP1. Repair, Replacement and Maintenance of Authorized Structures and Fills GP2. Moorings GP3. Pile-Supported Structures, Floats and Lifts GP4. Aids to Navigation, and Temporary Recreational Structures GP5. Dredging, Disposal of Dredged Material, Beach Nourishment, and Rock Removal and Relocation GP6. Discharges of Dredged or Fill Material Incidental to the Construction of Bridges GP7. Bank and Shoreline Stabilization GP8. Residential, Commercial and Institutional Developments, and Recreational Facilities GP9. Utility Line Activities GP10. Linear Transportation Projects Including Stream Crossings GP11. Mining Activities GP12. Boat Ramps and Marine Railways GP13. Land and Water-Based Renewable Energy Generation Facilities and Hydropower Projects GP14. Temporary Construction, Access, and Dewatering GP15. Reshaping Existing Drainage Ditches, New Ditches, and Mosquito Management GP16. Response Operations for Oil and Hazardous Substances GP17. Cleanup of Hazardous and Toxic Waste GP18. Scientific Measurement Devices GP19. Survey Activities GP20. Agricultural Activities GP21. Fish and Wildlife Harvesting and Attraction Devices and Activities GP22. Habitat Restoration, Establishment and Enhancement Activities GP23. Previously Authorized Activities In general, the following cumulative thresholds apply for determining the level of ACOE permitting required: Table C-2 MA GPs Permits Limits Resources SV Limits (SV Eligible) PCN Limits (PCN Eligible) IP Limits (IP Required) Non-tidal waters of the US 0 to 5,000 sf 5,000 sf to 1 acre >1 acre Tidal waters of the US Not eligible All discharges ≤1/2 acre >1/2 acre SAS in tidal waters of the US excluding vegetated shallows Not eligible All discharges ≤1,000 sf >1,000 sf Appendix C C-11 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 SAS in tidal waters of the US consisting of vegetated shallows only Not eligible All discharges ≤100 sf (compensatory mitigation is required >100 sf *Special Aquatic Sites (SAS) consist of wetlands, mud flats, vegetated shallows, sanctuaries and refuges, coral reefs, and riffle and pool complexes. These are defined at 40 CFR 230 Subpart E. Stream and wetland crossings are only subject to jurisdiction under the ACOE if there is a discharge of dredge or fill material into wetlands or waters of the United States. Equipment access through a stream or wetland with no structural BMP is not regulated by the ACOE if there is no discharge of dredge or fill material (note that equipment rutting as a result of not using an appropriate BMP can be considered a “discharge of dredge material”). Similarly, the use of a timber or rail car bridge that extends from bank to bank with no stream impacts is not regulated by the ACOE. The use of timber mats, stone, and log corduroy is considered “fill material” by the ACOE under the MA GPs, and must be calculated to determine overall impacts. Maintenance, including emergency reconstruction of currently serviceable structures, is exempt from ACOE jurisdiction and does not require formal permitting. Maintenance does not include any modification that changes the character, scope, or size of the original fill design. Emergency reconstruction must occur within a reasonable period of time after damage occurs to qualify for this exemption. New culvert installation or existing culvert replacements may require permitting with local Conservation Commissions under the MAWPA, and may also require permitting with the ACOE under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, and the MassDEP under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. Stream and wetland crossings (including culvert installations) that involve the discharge of dredge and fill material may be conducted under SV if the following criteria are met. • The use of construction mats of any area can be used to conduct activities that were previously authorized, authorized under Self-Verification, or not subject to regulation. Other temporary or permanent fill and associated secondary impacts must meet the SV limits. • Authorized construction mats must be removed immediately upon work completion, and the wetlands must be restored per the General Conditions. Appendix C C-12 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 The project has no potential for an effect on a historic property within the permit area or any known historic property that may occur outside the permit area. • Any in-water work controls that encroach upon more than 25 percent of the stream width are limited to a Time of Year (TOY) restriction in consideration of spawning, breeding and migration to maintain upstream fish passage. Activities within streams proposed during the TOY restrictions are generally ineligible for SV authorization. • The work does not result in direct or secondary impacts to Special Aquatic Sites. • No work occurs in Navigable Waters (waters subject to the ebb and flow of the tide and, in Massachusetts, the non-tidal consist of the Merrimack River, Connecticut River, and Charles River to the Watertown Dam). • Span streams or size culverts or pipe arches such that they are at least 1.2 times the bankfull width. Spans are strongly preferred as they avoid or minimize disruption to the streambed and avoid entire streambed reconstruction and maintenance inside the culvert or pipe arch, which may be difficult in smaller structures. Footings and abutments for spans and scour protection should be landward of 1.2 times bankfull width. • Embed culverts or pipe arches below the grade of the streambed. This is not required when ledge/bedrock prevents embedment, in which case spans are required. The following depths are recommended to prevent streambed washout, and ensure compliance and long-term success: o ≥ 2 feet for box culverts and pipe arches, or o ≥ 2 feet and at least 25% for round pipe culverts. • Match the culvert gradient (slope) with the stream channel profile. • Construct crossings with a natural bottom substrate within the structure matching the characteristics of the substrate in the natural stream channel and the banks (mobility, slope, stability, confinement, grain and rock size) at the time of construction and over time as the structure has had the opportunity to pass substantial high flow events. • Construct crossings with appropriate bed forms and streambed characteristics so that water depths and velocities are comparable to those found in the natural channel at a variety of flows at the time of construction and over time. In order to provide appropriate water depths and velocities at a variety of flows and especially low flows, it is usually necessary to reconstruct the streambed (sometimes including a low flow channel) or replicate or preserve the natural channel within the structure. Otherwise, the width of the structure needed to accommodate higher flows will create conditions that are too shallow at low flows. Flows could go subsurface within the structure if only large material is used without smaller material filling the voids. • Openness, which is the is the cross-sectional area of a structure opening divided by its crossing length when measured in consistent units, is > 0.82 feet (0.25 meters). Banks on each side of the stream inside the crossing matching the horizontal profile of the existing stream and banks outside the crossing are recommended. To prevent failure, all constructed banks should have a height to width ratio of no greater than 1:1.5 (vertical:horizontal) unless the stream is naturally incised. Tie these banks into the up and downstream banks and configure them to be stable during expected high flows. Appendix C C-13 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 • The project is not located within a vernal pool depression, or vernal pool envelope, and does not individually or cumulatively impact greater than 25% of the vernal pool critical terrestrial habitat. It is feasible for some temporary impacts associated with the use of construction mats in previously disturbed ROWs to occur within the vernal pool envelope or critical terrestrial habitat if a Vegetation Management Plan demonstrates avoidance, minimization and mitigation impacts to aquatic resources. • Culvert extensions do not qualify for SV. • Culvert projects using slip lining do not qualify for SV, either as new work or maintenance activities. • No open trench excavation in flowing waters. No work in riffles and pools. • The project does not entail stream relocation. • Work is not conducted within riffles or pools. • Normal flows within the stream boundary’s confines must be maintained, i.e., temporary flume pipes, culverts, cofferdams, etc. • Water diversions (i.e., bypass pumping or water withdrawals) may be used immediately up and downstream of the work footprint. • The project is (a) not located in the designated main stem of, or within 0.25 miles up or downstream of the designated main stem of, or in tributaries within 0.25 miles of the designated main stem of a National Wild and Scenic River System; (b) not in “bordering or contiguous wetlands” that are adjacent to the designated main stem of a National Wild and Scenic River; or (c) does not have the potential to alter flows within a river within the National Wild and Scenic River System. • The project is not located within areas containing USFWS or National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)-listed species or critical habitat. The project is not “likely to adversely affect” listed species or habitat per the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) or result in a “take” of any federally-listed threatened or endangered species of fish or wildlife. • The project does not impinge upon the value of any National Wildlife Refuge, National Forest, National Marine Sanctuary, or any other area administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service or National Park Service. • The project is not located on ACOE properties and ACOE-controlled easements. • The project does not propose temporary or permanent modification or use of a federal project beyond minor modifications required for normal operation and maintenance. • The project minimizes use of heavy construction equipment, and, where required, either has low ground pressure (typically less than 3 psi) or it must be placed on construction mats. • Construction mats must be placed in the wetland from the upland or from equipment positioned on swamp mats if working within a wetland. • Temporary fill must be stabilized. Unconfined, authorized temporary fill must consist of clean material that minimizes impacts to water quality. Temporary fill placed during the growing season must be removed before the beginning of the next growing season. If temporary fill is placed during the non-growing season, it may remain throughout the following growing season but must be removed before the beginning of the next growing season. Appendix C C-14 Eversource Best Management Practices Manual–January 2022 • Appropriate erosion, sedimentation and turbidity controls are used and maintained during construction. • Appropriate measures must be taken to minimize flooding to the maximum extent practicable. Wetland and stream crossings may be authorized under PCN if the following criteria are met: • The work results in less than one acre of impacts to inland, non-tidal, wetlands or waters of the United States. Stream and wetland crossings that cannot meet SV or PCN criteria may require review under an IP. The ACOE should be consulted before assuming an IP will be required, as exceptions can be made under certain circumstances. C.8 Temporary Stream Crossings C.8.1 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers See Section C.7 for general ACOE permitting requirements for stream crossings. To qualify for SV, temporary stream crossings (typically culverts) that are not spans must be designed in accordance with below. 1) Installed outside of the TOY restrictions and must be removed before the beginning of the TOY restriction of that same season. Temporary crossings that must remain into the TOY restriction will require PCN review. 2) Impacts to the streambed or banks require restoration to their original condition (see “Stream Simulation: An Ecological Approach to Providing Passage for Aquatic Organisms at Road-Stream Crossings,” for stream simulation restoration methods). Use geotextile fabric or other appropriate bedding for stream beds and approaches where practicable to ensure restoration to the original grade. The requirements in GCs 17, 18 and 19 are particularly relevant. 3) Avoid excavating the stream or embedding crossings. 4) For Culverts: a. The water height should be no higher than the top of the culvert’s inlet and the culvert is large enough to pass debris. b. Install energy dissipating devices downstream if necessary to prevent scour. c. The TOY restrictions in GC 18 and the restrictions in GC 17(f) are particularly relevant. 5) Removed upon the completion of work. Impacts to the streambed or banks requires restoration to their original condition using stream simulation methods. In-kind repair, replacement and maintenance of currently serviceable, authorized fills are eligible for SV. However, the conditions of the original authorization apply, and minor deviations in fill design are allowed. In-kind repair and maintenance of culverts that includes an expansion or change in use requires PCN. Replacement of non-serviceable fills, including an expansion or change in use, also requires PCN. In-kind replacement using the same materials is exempt from Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and does not require permitting with the ACOE. The ACOE, however, should be consulted before assuming an activity is exempt from their jurisdiction. APPENDIX D D-1 FRAC-OUT PLAN Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) for subsurface utility installations is considered to be the most effective and least environmentally damaging technique when compared to traditional mechanical dredging and trenching. This method ensures the placement of the pipeline at the target burial depth with no wetland or water body disturbance. HDD installation is the preferred method for crossing sensitive resources–the alternative is open cut trenching. The HDD procedure uses bentonite slurry, a fine clay material as a drilling lubricant. Directional drilling has the small potential to release bentonite slurry into the surface environment through frac-outs. This term describes the situation caused when the drilling head and its accompanying inert clay lubricant slurry, hits a subterranean fractured substrate. When the pressurized lubricant slurry reaches the fracture it can follow the fracture up or otherwise force itself to the surface or into the water if drilling is occurring under a waterbody. If a "frac-out” occurs under these water features, the potential exists for the inert clay (a nontoxic bentonite-based substance) to be released into the water column. In large quantities, the release of drilling mud into a waterbody could affect fisheries or other aquatic organisms by settling and temporarily inundating the habitats used by these species. Properly monitoring the slurry pressures and amounts significantly decreases risk of significant quantities of drilling fluid being released into the environment. Frac-out is most likely to occur near the bore entry and exit points where the drill head is shallow. Should a frac-out occur during HDD operations, the following measures will be taken. • Temporarily suspend forward drilling progress. • Monitor frac-out for 4 hours to determine if the drilling mud congeals. (Bentonite will usually harden, effectively sealing the frac-out location.) • If drilling mud congeals, take no other action that would potentially suspend sediments in the water column. • If drilling mud does not congeal, erect appropriate isolation/containment measures (i.e. turbidity curtains and/or underwater boom and curtain). • If the fracture becomes excessively large, a spill response team would be called in to contain and clean up excess drilling mud in the water. Phone numbers of spill response teams in the area will be on site. • Following containment, evaluate the current drilling profile (i.e. drill pressures, pump volume rates, drilling mud consistency) to identify means to prevent further frac-out events. • If the fracture is mitigated and controlled, forward progress of the drilling may resume. www.tighebond.com Transmittal - 00016.pdf Project # 3172201210 Shive-Hattery | 222 3rd Avenue, Suite 300 PO Box 1599 | Cedar Rapids, IA 52406-1599 | 319.362.0313 | shive-hattery.com Transmittal PROJECT: Eversource Yarmouth ERP DATE: 1/20/2023 SUBJECT: 484 Willow Eversource Energy Stormwater Permit Application VIA: Info Exchange PURPOSE: For your approval TO: COMPANY / ADDRESS PHONE bdirienzo@yarmouth.ma.us bdirienzo@yarmouth.ma.us FROM: COMPANY / ADDRESS PHONE Emily Williamson ewilliamson@shive-hattery.com Shive-Hattery, Inc. 319.364.0227 REMARKS: Hi Brittany, Below are links to download the documents required for the Stormwater Permit application:  Signed Stormwater Application  Letter to the Board  Yarmouth Administrative Checklist  Mass DEP Checklist  List of Abutters  Proof of Delivery of Notification to Abutters  Site Plan Review Comments  Design Review Comments  Stormwater Management Plan Set  Stormwater Report/Project Narrative (these are combined within the Report)  Erosion & Sediment Control Plan  Operation & Maintenance Plan Tighe&Bond will be sending the hard copies of all of these documents.
