This Order does not, however, determine the boundaries of any resource area or Buffer Zone to any resource area not specifically noted above, regardless of whether such boundaries are contained on the plans attached to this Omer or to the Abbreviated Notice of Resource Area Delineation. This Order must be signed by a majority of the Conservation Commission. The Order must be sent by certified mad (return receipt requested) or hand delivered to the applicant. A copy also must be mailed or hand delivered at the same time to the appropriate DEP Regional Office (see httD://www. mass.qov/dep/about/re(aion/frndvour. htm). D. Appeals The applicant, the owner, any person aggrieved by this Order, any owner of land abutting the land subject to this Order, or any ten residents of the city or town in which such land is located, are hereby notified of their right to request the appropriate DEP Regional Office to issue a Superseding Order of Resource Area Delineation. When requested to issue a Superseding Order of Resource Area Delineation, the Department's review is limited to the objections to the resource area delineation(s) stated in the appeal request. The request must be made by certified mad or hand delivery to the Department, with the appropriate filing fee and a completed Request for Departmental Action Fee Transmittal Form, as provided in 310 CMR 10.03(7) within ten business days from the date of issuance of this Order. A copy of the request shall at the same time be sent by certified mail or hand delivery to the Conservation Commission and to the applicant, if he/she is not the appellant. Any appellants seeking to appeal the Department's Superseding Order associated with this appeal will be required to demonstrate prior participation in the review of this project. Previous participation in the permit proceeding means the submission of written information to the Conservation Commission prior to the close of the public hearing, requesting a Superseding Order, or providing written information to the Department prior to issuance of a Superseding Order. The request shall state dearly and concisely the objections to the Order which is being appealed and how the Order does not contribute to the protection of the interests identified in the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, (M.G.L a 131, § 40) and is inconsistent with the wetlands regulations (310 CMR 10.00). To the extent that the Order is based on a municipal bylaw or ordinance, and not on the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act or regulations, the Department of Environmental Protection has no appellate jurisdiction. wpaiomrlb.doo • rev. 1 V06 Pape 3 of 4 LL11Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Resource Protection — Wetlands TOY Chap. 143 WPA Form 4B — Order of Resource Area Delineation Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act M.G.L. c. 131, §40 Provided by MassDEP: SE 83-1864 MassDEP File Number Document Transaction Number Yarmouth Cityrrown E.

The limits of the wetland resource areas will be incorporated into the final design phase of a proposed waste water treatment facility and collection system including sewer mains and pumping stations. The town of Yarmouth intends to implement a wastewater program over the next several years. The wastewater program is being implemented in order to meet the needs of the town and the needs that are being defined in the Massachusetts Estuaries Project for nitrogen removal in Yarmouth's estuaries. A preliminary Wastewater Master Plan was developed by CDM and funding has been authorized for Design of Phase 1 of the Master Plan. Phase 1 follows Route 28; begins approximately 300 feet west of the Barnstable Town line and continues to approximately 300 feet east of the Parker River Bridge. This project also includes Site R1— a proposed treatment and disposal location for the town's wastewater treatment and effluent disposal facility. The project area is defined as depicted in Figure 4. 2.0 Wetland Delineations In November and December 2008, Magdalena Lofstedt, PWS, and Andrew Poyant Environmental Scientist delineated wetland resource areas in the project area. The existing wetland resource boundaries were evaluated for conformance with the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act (MGL c. 131 s. 40) and Regulations (310 CMR 10.00) and the boundary was delineated in accordance U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 1987 Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory,1987, "Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual" Technical Report Y-87-1, US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, Mississippi), using vegetation, soils and indicators of wetland hydrology. The wetland boundary was demarcated at the limit of wetland vegetation (limit of plant community dominated [50% or more cover] by species adapted to living in wetland conditions), visual inspections, as well as indicators of hydric soils and wetland hydrology. Wetland Boundaries were surveyed by Surveying and Mapping Consultants Inc. (SMC). A total of 29 wetland areas were identified and demarcated with blue wetland flagging in the field. A description of the site, site history and each delineated wetland is presented below. 2.1 Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVW) Bordering Vegetated Wetlands are defined as: "freshwater wetlands which border on creeks, rivers, streams, ponds and lakes. The types of freshwater wetlands are wet meadows, marshes, swamps and bogs. Bordering A-1 1 jl ri LI COA SM00036aa.d= Attachment A Wetlands Description Vegetated Wetlands are areas where the soils are saturated and/or inundated such that they support a predominance of wetland indicator plants. The ground and surface water regime and the vegetational community which occur in each type of freshwater wetland are specified in M.G.L.c. 131, § 40" [310 CMR 10.55 (2)(a)] Wetland 3/4 Wetland flags 3-1 through 3-11End demarcate the limit of BVW between 11 Camp Street and 25 Camp Street. Mill Creek River is culverted beneath Camp Street. Wetland flags 4-1 through 4-6End demarcate the limit of BVW on the downstream end of the stream. The wetland is vegetated by Atlantic white cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides), red maple (Acer saccharum), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), southern arrow -wood (Viburnum recognitum), honeysuckle (Lonicera sp.), sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis), winterberry (Ilex verticillata), willow (Salix sp.) and aster (Asteracea). Access to the wetland was nearly impossible due to abundant greenbriers (Smilax rotundifolia). Wetland 5 (Across from Mill Pond) Wetland flags 5-1 through 5-7End demarcate a Phragmites emergent marsh across from Mill Pond. The wetland is dominated by common reed (Phragmites australis). Additional species observed included: willows, alder (Alnus sp.), honeysuckle, purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), soft rush (Juncus effuses), southern arrowwood, and multiflora rose. Fill debris was observed along the Route 28 shoulder. Wetland 8 (Chase Brook) Wetland flags 8-1 through 8-15End demarcate a BVW associated with Chase Brook on the north side of Route 28. The overstory is dominated by ash (Fraxinus sp.) and red maple. The shrub layer is dominated by coastal sweetpepperbush (Clethra alnifolia), dogwoods (Cornus stolonifera), willows, and multiflora rose. The vine layer is dominated by greenbrier and poison ivy (Rhus radicans). Common reed (Phragmites australis) was observed in the ground cover. Wetland 10 (back of Wimbledon Drive) Wetland 10 (flags 10-1 through 10-20End) is located in the back of Wimbledon Drive. This wetland can be characterized as a red maple swamp dominated by red maple and black gum (Nyssa sylvatica) in the overstory. The shrub layer is dominated by sweet pepperbush. The vine layer is dominated by greenbriers and poison ivy. Cinnamon fern and skunk cabbage (Sympocarpus foetidus) was observed in the ground cover. This wetland is located within Bordering Land Subject to Flooding which extends up to elevation 10 feet (NGVD 29). Wetland 13 (Parker River) At the upstream side of the Route 28 Parker River Bridge, wetland flags 13-1 through 13-3 demarcate a shelf of BVW above the top of bank elevation. The river bank along the road consists of riprap embedded in concrete. Vegetation within the BVW A-2 Attachment A Wetlands Description consisted of beach grass (Ammophila breviligulata) and multiflora rose. Soils showed hydric characteristics. Wetland flags were not placed along the riprap bank. Approximately 30 feet beyond the scenic area, the riprap ends and the bank consists of natural substrate. West Yarmouth Road and Buck Island Road Wetland flags 15-1 through 15-10End and wetland flags 17-1 through 17-29End demarcate portions of a BVW boundary along a wooded swamp on the southeast side of the intersection. This BVW is connected to the Town -owned Cranberry Bogs located further south. Pockets of standing water were observed throughout this wetland. There are three man-made drainage channels that flow through this wetland system. They appear to be part of the cranberry bog drainage system. The channels are culverted beneath Buck Island Road. The BVW is vegetated by pitch (Pinus rigida), red maple, red oak, highbush blueberry (Viburnum cassinoides), pine coastal sweet pepperbush, wintergreen, cinnamon fern, leatherleaf (Chamaedaphne calyculta), and greenbriers. Wetland flags 16-1 through 16-10End,18-1 through 18-6End and 19-1 through 19- 6End demarcate three wooded wetlands on the north side of the Buck Island Road. Wetland 16 is connected to wetlands 15/17 via two culverts. Soils within Wetland 16 consisted of loamy sand 10YR 4/3 with redoximorphic features. Vegetation in the overstory consisted of red maple and pitch pine. The shrub layer is dominated by sweet pepperbush and leatherleaf. The vine layer is dominated by greenbriers. Cinnamon fern was observed in the ground cover. Wetland 18 and 19 were very similar in species composition to wetland 16 except that highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) was observed in the shrub layer. Wetland 19 appears to be connected to a larger wetland set further north of Buck Island Road. Wetland 20 (Parker River) Wetland flags 20-1 through 20-144End demarcate the large BVW system along the Parker River to the east of the proposed treatment facility site. The BVW boundary closely follows the river valley in some areas and in other moves away from the river up the slope closer to the plant site. The overstory in Wetland 20 is dominated by pitch pine, red maple, Eastern white pine (Pinus strobes), and black gum. The shrub layer is dominated by sweet pepperbush, wintergreen, highbush blueberry, and winterberry. The vine layer consists of very densely growing greenbriars and poison ivy.

[310 CMR 10.57(2)(a)(1)] The boundary of BLSF is defined as: "the estimated maximum lateral extent of flood water which will theoretically result from the statistical 100-year frequency storm. Said boundary shall be that determined by reference to the most recently available flood profile data prepared for the community within which the work is proposed under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP, currently administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, successor to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development). Said Boundary, so determined, shall be presumed accurate. This presumption may be overcome only by credible evidence from a registered professional engineer or other professional competent in such matters." [310 CMR 10.57 (2)(1)(3)] The FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map identifies the 100-year floodplain in the project area, see Figure 3 for details. The 100-year floodplain elevation is 9 and 10 feet (NGVD 29) on north side of Route 28 until the Parker River Crossing. The limits of BLSF are shown on the project plans. NGVD 29 was converted to NAVD 88 to correspond to the vertical datum of the project plans. NGVD 29 has a difference of .88 feet; 9 feet NGVD 29 equals 8.12 feet NAVD 88 and 10 feet NGVD 29 equals 9.12 feet NAVD 88. 2.3 Riverfront Area (RFA) Riverfront Area is defined as: "the area of land between a river's mean annual high water line and a parallel line measured horizontally outward from the river and a parallel line located 200 feet away, ...

The wetland boundary was demarcated at the limit of wetland vegetation (limit of plant community dominated [50% or more cover] by species adapted to living in wetland conditions), visual inspections, as well as indicators of hydric soils and wetland hydrology. The Yarmouth Conservation Commission Agent visited CDM's Environmental Scientists on December 11, 2008 and confirmed the approach used for the wetland delineations. This Abbreviated Notice of Resource Area Delineation is submitted to gain concurrence on the flagged boundaries to establish future project limits. The planning goal for the proposed waste water treatment plant is to maintain a 100-foot wide protective buffer around the wetland resource areas to the maximum extent practicable. Establishing the limit of wetlands will allow the town to continue planning the project in an environmentally sensitive and conscientious manner. l cm A-9 SM00036aa.docu Attachment B ILSF Calculations CLIENT , ('� l.J IR [ �a C MC7U c JOB NO.

The limits of the wetland resource areas will be incorporated into the final design phase of a proposed waste water treatment facility and collection system including sewer mains and pumping stations. The town of Yarmouth intends to implement a wastewater program over the next several years. The wastewater program is being implemented in order to meet the needs of the town and the needs that are being defined in the Massachusetts Estuaries Project for nitrogen removal in Yarmouth's estuaries. A preliminary Wastewater Master Plan was developed by CDM and funding has been authorized for Design of Phase 1 of the Master Plan. Phase 1 follows Route 28; begins approximately 300 feet west of the Barnstable Town line and continues to approximately 300 feet east of the Parker River Bridge. This project also includes Site R1— a proposed treatment and disposal location for the town's wastewater treatment and effluent disposal facility. The project area is defined as depicted in Figure 4. 2.0 Wetland Delineations 1 1 A 1 I COM SM00036aa In November and December 2008, Magdalena Lofstedt, PWS, and Andrew Poyant Environmental Scientist delineated wetland resource areas in the project area. The existing wetland resource boundaries were evaluated for conformance with the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act (MGL c.131 s. 40) and Regulations (310 CMR 10.00) and the boundary was delineated in accordance U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 1987 Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory,1987, "Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual" Technical Report Y-87-1, US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, Mississippi), using vegetation, soils and indicators of wetland hydrology. The wetland boundary was demarcated at the limit of wetland vegetation (limit of plant community dominated [50% or more cover] by species adapted to living in wetland conditions), visual inspections, as well as indicators of hydric soils and wetland hydrology. Wetland Boundaries were surveyed by Surveying and Mapping Consultants Inc. (SMC). A total of 29 wetland areas were identified and demarcated with blue wetland flagging in the field. A description of the site, site history and each delineated wetland is presented below. 2.1 Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVW) Bordering Vegetated Wetlands are defined as: "freshwater wetlands which border on creeks, rivers, streams, ponds and lakes. The types of freshwater wetlands are wet meadows, marshes, swamps and bogs. Bordering A-1 ' Attachment A Wetlands Description Vegetated Wetlands are areas where the soils are saturated and/or inundated such that they support a predominance of wetland indicator plants. The ground and surface water regime and the vegetational community which occur in each type of freshwater wetland are specified in M.G.L.c. 131, § 40" [310 CMR 10.55 (2)(a)] Wetland 3/4 Wetland flags 3-1 through 3-11End demarcate the limit of BVW between 11 Camp Street and 25 Camp Street. Mill Creek River is culverted beneath Camp Street. Wetland flags 4-1 through 4-6End demarcate the limit of BVW on the downstream end of the stream. The wetland is vegetated by Atlantic white cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides), red maple (Acer saccharum), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), southern arrowwood (Viburnum recognitum), honeysuckle (Lonicera sp.), sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis), winterberry (Ilex verticillata), willow (Salix sp.) and aster (Asteracea). Access to the wetland was nearly impossible due to abundant greenbriers (Smilax rotundifolia). Wetland 5 (Across from Mill Pond) Wetland flags 5-1 through 5-7End demarcate a Phragmites emergent marsh across from Mill Pond. The wetland is dominated by common reed (Phragmites australis). Additional species observed included: willows, alder (Alnus sp.), honeysuckle, purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), soft rush (Juncus effuses), southern arrowwood, and multiflora rose. Fill debris was observed along the Route 28 shoulder. Wetland 8 (Chase Brook) Wetland flags 8-1 through 8-15End demarcate a BVW associated with Chase Brook on the north side of Route 28. The overstory is dominated by ash (Fraxinus sp.) and red maple. The shrub layer is dominated by coastal sweetpepperbush (Clethra alnifolia), dogwoods (Cornus stolonifera), willows, and multiflora rose. The vine layer is dominated by greenbrier and poison ivy (Rhus radicans). Common reed (Phragmites australis) was observed in the ground cover. Wetland 10 (back of Wimbledon Drive) Wetland 10 (flags 10-1 through 10-20End) is located in the back of Wimbledon Drive. This wetland can be characterized as a red maple swamp dominated by red maple and black gum (Nyssa sylvatica) in the overstory. The shrub layer is dominated by sweet pepperbush. The vine layer is dominated by greenbriers and poison ivy. ' Cinnamon fern and skunk cabbage (Sympocarpus foetidus) was observed in the ground cover. This wetland is located within Bordering Land Subject to Flooding which extends up to elevation 10 feet (NGVD 29). Wetland 13 Parker River) At the upstream side of the Route 28 Parker River Bridge, wetland flags 13-1 through 13-3 demarcate a shelf of BVW above the top of bank elevation. The river bank along the road consists of riprap embedded in concrete. Vegetation within the BVW cm A-2 SM00036aa.docx I Attachment A Wetlands Description 1 1 H I El 1, 1 1 n Cm SM00036m.docx consisted of beach grass (Ammophila breviligulata) and multiflora rose. Soils showed hydric characteristics. Wetland flags were not placed along the riprap bank. Approximately 30 feet beyond the scenic area, the riprap ends and the bank consists of natural substrate. West Yarmouth Road and Buck Island Road Wetland flags 15-1 through 15-10End and wetland flags 17-1 through 17-29End demarcate portions of a BVW boundary along a wooded swamp on the southeast side of the intersection. This BVW is connected to the Town -owned Cranberry Bogs located further south. Pockets of standing water were observed throughout this wetland. There are three man-made drainage channels that flow through this wetland system. They appear to be part of the cranberry bog drainage system. The channels are culverted beneath Buck Island Road. The BVW is vegetated by pitch pine (Pinus rigida), red maple, red oak, highbush blueberry (Viburnum cassinoides), coastal sweet pepperbush, wintergreen, cinnamon fern, leatherleaf (Chamaedaphne calyculta), and greenbriers. Wetland flags 16-1 through 16-10End,18-1 through 18-6End and 19-1 through 19- 6End demarcate three wooded wetlands on the north side of the Buck Island Road. Wetland 16 is connected to wetlands 15/17 via two culverts. Soils within Wetland 16 consisted of loamy sand 10YR 4/3 with redoximorphic features. Vegetation in the overstory consisted of red maple and pitch pine. The shrub layer is dominated by sweet pepperbush and leatherleaf. The vine layer is dominated by greenbriers. Cinnamon fern was observed in the ground cover. Wetland 18 and 19 were very similar in species composition to wetland 16 except that highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) was observed in the shrub layer. Wetland 19 appears to be connected to a larger wetland set further north of Buck Island Road. Wetland 20 (Parker River) Wetland flags 20-1 through 20-144End demarcate the large BVW system along the Parker River to the east of the proposed treatment facility site. The BVW boundary closely follows the river valley in some areas and in other moves away from the river up the slope closer to the plant site. The overstory in Wetland 20 is dominated by pitch pine, red maple, Eastern white pine (Pinus strobes), and black gum. The shrub layer is dominated by sweet pepperbush, wintergreen, highbush blueberry, and winterberry. The vine layer consists of very densely growing greenbriars and poison ivy. The following species were observed in the ground cover: cinnamon fern, wintergreen, and bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum). Wetland 24 Wetland flags 24-1 through 24-20End demarcate a BVW. Wetland 24 is vegetated by red maple, highbush blueberry, pitch pine, sweet pepperbush, white cedar, cinnamon fern, winterberry and greenbriers.

The shrub layer consists of blackberry (Rubus sp.), green briers, multiflora rose, and southern arrowwood. The ground cover consists of cinnamon fern, sensitive fern, ' sedges (Carex sp.), poison ivy and cattails (Typha latifolia) along the bank. Cranberry Bogs ' Wetland flags were not placed at the cranberry bogs due to distinct brake in slope. The cranberry bogs are shown on project plans. ' 2.2 Bordering Land Subject to Flooding (BLSF) Bordering Land Subject to Flooding is defined as: an area with low, flat topography adjacent to and inundated by flood waters rising from creeks, rivers, streams, ponds or lakes. It extends from the banks of these cm A-4 ' SM00036aa.d= Attachment A Wetlands Description waterways and water bodies; where a bordering vegetated wetland occurs, it extends from said wetland." [310 CMR 10.57(2)(a)(1)] The boundary of BLSF is defined as: ' "the estimated maximum lateral extent of flood water which will theoretically result from the statistical 100-year frequency storm. Said boundary shall be that determined ' by reference to the most recently available flood profile data prepared for the community within which the work is proposed under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP, currently administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, successor to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development). Said Boundary, so determined, shall be presumed accurate. This presumption may be overcome only by credible evidence from a registered professional engineer or other ' professional competent in such matters." [310 CMR 10.57 (2)(1)(3)] The FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map identifies the 100-year floodplain in the project ' area, see Figure 3 for details. The 100-year floodplain elevation is 9 and 10 feet (NGVD 29) on north side of Route 28 until the Parker River Crossing. The limits of BLSF are shown on the project plans. NGVD 29 was converted to NAVD 88 to correspond to the vertical datum of the project plans. NGVD 29 has a difference of .88 feet; 9 feet NGVD 29 equals 8.12 feet NAVD 88 and 10 feet NGVD 29 equals 9.12 feet NAVD 88. 2.3 Riverfront Area (RFA) ' Riverfront Area is defined as: the area of land between a river's mean annual high water line and a parallel line measured horizontally outward from the river and a parallel line located 200 feet away, ... In tidal rivers, the mean annual high-water line is coincident with the mean high water line determined under 310 CMR'10.23." [310 CMR 10.58 (2)] There is a 200-foot wide Riverfront Area associated with Mill Creek River and it's tributaries, Chase Brook, Thornton Brook, and Parker River, per the Rivers Protection ' Act. The limits of 200-foot Riverfront Area are shown on the project plans. 2.4 Top of Inland Bank Top of Inland Bank is defined as: "the first observable break in the slope or the mean annual flood level, ' whichever is lower."

CM A-8 SM00038aa.d= ' Attachment A Wetlands Description 2.9 Federal Jurisdictional Isolated Wetland ' Wetland 21 Wetland flags 21-1 through 21-20End demarcate an Isolated Wetland with an area of approximately 2,750 ftz. This wetland is not regulated as Isolated Land Subject to Flooding (ILSF) as it doesn't hold 1/ acre-foot of water. This wetland is not regulated as a Local Vegetated Wetland as it doesn't have a minimum area of 3,000ft2. There is ' standing water within the Isolated Wetland. Wetland 21 is vegetated by red maple, highbush blueberry, pitch pine, sweet pepperbush, white cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides), sheep laurel (Kalmia angustifolia), and greenbriers. Wetland 23 Wetland flags 23-1 through 23-5End demarcate a depression with an area of ' approximately 560ft2. This wetland is not regulated as Isolated Land Subject to Flooding (ILSF) as it doesn't hold 1/ acre-foot of water. It is vegetated with sweet pepperbush, red maple, sphagnum moss, and northern arrowwood. 3.0 Summar y The existing wetland resource boundaries were evaluated for conformance with the ' Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act (MGL c. 131 s. 40) and Regulations (310 CMR 10.00) and the boundary was delineated in accordance U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 1987 Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory,1987, "Corps of ' Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual" Technical Report Y-87-1, US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, Mississippi), using vegetation, soils and t indicators of wetland hydrology. The wetland boundary was demarcated at the limit of wetland vegetation (limit of plant community dominated [50% or more cover] by species adapted to living in wetland conditions), visual inspections, as well as ' indicators of hydric soils and wetland hydrology. The Yarmouth Conservation Commission Agent visited CDM's Environmental Scientists on December 11, 2008 and confirmed the approach used for the wetland delineations. This Abbreviated Notice of Resource Area Delineation is submitted to gain concurrence on the flagged boundaries to establish future project limits. The planning goal for the proposed waste water treatment plant is to maintain a 100-foot wide protective buffer around the wetland resource areas to the maximum extent practicable. Establishing the limit of wetlands will allow the town to continue ' planning the project in an environmentally sensitive and conscientious manner. 1 cm A-9 ' SM00036aa.docx Attachment B ILSF Calculations 1 CLIENT , �W f[�Q PROJECT Qinc,$C, DETAIL TL-S> F T �Ga C 1�C3(� T i/6 JOB NO.
