Attachment A Project Narrative 7396/Camp Wingate*Kirkland Improvements 1 Project Narrative 79 White Rock Road, Yarmouth Port Epsilon Associates, Inc. ATTACHMENT A – PROJECT NARRATIVE 1.0 Introduction Camp Wingate*Kirkland is planning various improvements to their summer camp at 79 White Rock Road in Yarmouth Port (“Site”). Some of these improvements will require disturbance to land within the buffer zone of wetland resource areas that are protected under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and/or the Yarmouth Wetland Protection Bylaw. Accordingly, the improvements that are described in this Notice of Intent (“NOI”) must be reviewed and approved by the Yarmouth Conservation Commission. This narrative provides a description of the Site’s wetland resource areas that are near the proposed construction activities, a discussion of those activities and their associated impacts to the buffer zones of the adjacent resource areas. It also summarizes how the proposed work complies with the applicable performance standards applied under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (M.G.L. c 131, §40; the “Act”) and implementing Regulations (310 CMR 10.00; the “Regulations”), and the Town of Yarmouth Wetland Protection Bylaw (“Bylaw”). 2.0 Site Description Camp Wingate*Kirkland, which operates as a traditional summer camp catering to children aged 7-15, offers a diverse variety of activities including swimming, boating, arts and crafts, sports, and other outdoor adventures. The camp's primary objectives revolve around promoting personal development, fostering friendships, and facilitating memorable experiences within a nurturing and inclusive setting. Situated on a 37-acre parcel adjacent to Elisha’s Pond, the camp provides comprehensive programming tailored to both overnight and day campers. On-site amenities include numerous cabins or bunkhouses for accommodation, a dining hall, waterfront facilities for aquatic activities, sports fields and courts, arts and crafts studios, nature trails, administrative facilities, and a fully equipped infirmary (Refer to Attachment B – Figures and Attachment G – Plan of Existing Conditions). The camp property is managed with care to promote the diverse natural habitats that are present on the site. These natural areas provide a serene backdrop for young people that enjoy its many nature trails. Among the most cherished natural areas are the Elisha’s Pond waterfront and the large wetlands that are present in the southern portion of the site. 2.1 Wetland Resource Areas Wetland resource areas located in the vicinity of the proposed activities are limited to Inland Bank associated with Elisha’s Pond and a small isolated Vegetated Wetland. Those two resource areas are described below. 7396/Camp Wingate*Kirkland Improvements 2 Project Narrative 79 White Rock Road, Yarmouth Port Epsilon Associates, Inc. Inland Bank The camp has approximately 600 linear feet of frontage on idyllic Elisha’s Pond, which is in most areas bordered by a relatively steep and thickly vegetated slope except at the camp’s beach area, where the adjacent slope is much less severe. Bank scour was observed along the lowest part of the slope north of the beach area and was interpreted as the upper boundary of Inland Bank. By definition, the lower boundary of Inland Bank is the mean annual low water elevation of the pond. The upper part of the inland bank is vegetated with a mix of woody shrubs including willows (Salix sp.), highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), and sweet pepperbush (Cethra alnifolia). There was no observed predominance of hydrophytic vegetation or hydric soils observed above the Inland Bank. Vegetated Wetland A small Vegetated Wetland, which has an area of approximately 1,800 square feet, occurs in a depressional area in the central portion of the site. The area exhibits evidence of wetland hydrology (water-stained leaves and soils saturation at shallow depths) as well as hydric soils. Vegetation is relatively sparse but displays a predominance of hydrophytic vegetation including tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica), highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), and common greenbriar (Smilax rotundifolia). Delineation data sheets documenting the conditions within and adjacent to this wetland are provided in Attachment F. 2.2 Rare Species Habitats The Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife has mapped the Elisha’s Pond water sheet, bank, and some of the adjacent upland as both Estimated Habitat of Rare Wetlands Wildlife and Priority Habitat (refer to Attachment B, Figure 4). Based on review of map data published by MassGIS (https://maps.massgis.digital.mass.gov/MassMapper), it appears that the proposed renovations to Redwood will require construction that may encroach upon the mapped habitat area. Accordingly, a copy of this NOI has been forwarded to that agency for review and comment. 3.0 Proposed Construction Activities Camp Wingate*Kirkland is proposing facility improvements that will enable the camp to maintain and enhance its programming. Two of the camp’s older structures have outlived their usefulness and are slated for renovation and reconstruction as described below. Redwood Lodge, which is located on the slope adjacent to Elisha’s Pond and within the buffer zone of the inland bank associated with that water body, will be entirely renovated. The work will include razing the northern portion of this building and replacing that removed portion with another building to be constructed further back from the pond. Only the entrance stairs/ramp of the replacement building encroach within the 100-foot buffer zone. The area exposed by the removal of the northern portion of the building will be regraded, stabilized, and restored with native plantings. The southern portion of Redwood will be renovated in place. 7396/Camp Wingate*Kirkland Improvements 3 Project Narrative 79 White Rock Road, Yarmouth Port Epsilon Associates, Inc. The second improvement involves the removal and replacement of the camp’s Art Barn in the same footprint and within one hundred feet of an isolated vegetated wetland, which is approximately 1,800 square feet in area, is not jurisdictional under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, but is under the recently revised Yarmouth Wetland Regulations. 4.0 Anticipated Impacts and Mitigation Measures The partial razing and renovation of Redwood will result in a reduction of building footprint within the buffer zone of Elisha’s Pond. A small amount of earthwork will be required to remove a portion of the building, but the area of disturbance will be immediately stabilized and restored with native plantings as depicted on the attached site plan (Refer to Attachment G). Approximately 1,900 square feet of area will be altered by the demolition, of which is approximately 1000 sf represents the footprint of the structure being removed. The proposed egress for the replacement building will occupy approximately 200 square feet of the buffer zone. These impacts will be mitigated by the restoration of approximately 1000 square feet of the buffer zone with native plantings. Erosion and sediment controls will be installed at the work limits to minimize any potential impact to the Inland Bank. The renovation of the Art Barn involves the removal of the existing structure and replacement with a new structure in the same footprint. Installation of footings for the foundation of the new structure will require minimal soil disturbance around the structure’s perimeter but no impact to the Isolated Vegetated Wetland is anticipated. Nevertheless, a row of sediment and erosion controls will be installed between the work area and the Vegetated Wetland to prevent sediment transport and any unnecessary incursions into the buffer zone. 5.0 Compliance with Regulatory Standards The Project is subject to the jurisdiction of the Yarmouth Conservation Commission under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (“WPA”) and its associated regulations (310 CMR 10.00) as well as the local regulations promulgated under the Yarmouth Wetland Protection Bylaw, Ch. 143 (“Bylaw”). Both the state and local regulations specify performance standards for projects located within and adjacent to Inland Bank and Vegetated Wetland as discussed below. 5.1 Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act Regulations Although the Project does not include activities within wetland resource areas, work is proposed within the 100-foot buffer zone of Inland Bank associated with Elisha’s Pond. That inland bank and its related buffer zone are described in Section 2 of this narrative and are depicted on the attached engineering drawing prepared by Down Cape Engineering (refer to Attachment G – Site Plan). Inland Bank is defined in the WPA regulations at 310 CMR 10.54(2a) as “…the portion of the land surface which normally abuts and confines a water body. It occurs between a water body and a vegetated bordering wetland and adjacent floodplain, or, in the absence of these, it occurs 7396/Camp Wingate*Kirkland Improvements 4 Project Narrative 79 White Rock Road, Yarmouth Port Epsilon Associates, Inc. between a water body and an upland. A Bank may be partially or totally vegetated, or it may be comprised of exposed soil, gravel or stone.” When present, Inland Banks are likely to be significant to public or private water supply, ground water supply, flood control, storm damage prevention, the prevention of pollution and the protection of fisheries and wildlife habitat. WPA Inland Bank Performance Standards The performance standards applied under the WPA regulations to Inland Bank are found at 310 CMR 10.54(4) and apply only to activities that directly alter the resource area. The partial razing and renovation of the Redwood lodge will not directly alter Inland Bank. However they will be completed in close proximity to that resource area, such that there is some potential for indirect impact. The specific performance standards applying to Inland Bank are excerpted below. (a) Any proposed work on a Bank shall not impair the following: • the physical stability of the Bank; • the water carrying capacity of the existing channel within the Bank; • ground water and surface water quality; • the capacity of the Bank to provide breeding habitat, escape cover and food for fisheries; • the capacity of the Bank to provide important wildlife habitat functions. A projector projects on a single lot, for which Notice(s) of Intent is filed on or after November 1, 1987, that (cumulatively) alter(s) up to 10% or 50 feet (whichever is less) of the length of the bank found to be significant to the protection of wildlife habitat, shall not be deemed to impair its capacity to provide important wildlife habitat functions. In the case of a bank of a river or an intermittent stream, the impact shall be measured on each side of the stream or river. Additional alterations beyond the above threshold may be permitted if they will have no adverse effects on wildlife habitat, as determined by procedures contained in 310 CMR 10.60. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of 310 CMR 10.54(4)(a), structures may be permitted in or on a Bank when required to prevent flood damage to facilities, buildings and roads constructed prior to the effective date of 310 CMR 10.51 through 10.60 or constructed pursuant to a Notice of Intent filed prior to the effective date of 310 CMR 10.51 through 10.60 (April 1, 1983), including the renovation or reconstruction (but not substantial enlargement) of such facilities, buildings and roads, provided that the following requirements are met: • The proposed protective structure, renovation or reconstruction is designed and constructed using best practical measures so as to minimize adverse effects on the characteristics and functions of the resource area; • The applicant demonstrates that there is no reasonable method of protecting, renovating or rebuilding the facility in question other than the one proposed. 7396/Camp Wingate*Kirkland Improvements 5 Project Narrative 79 White Rock Road, Yarmouth Port Epsilon Associates, Inc. (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of 310 CMR 10.54(4)(a) or (b), no project may be permitted which will have any adverse effect on specified habitat sites of Rare Species, as identified by procedures established under 310 CMR 10.59. Compliance with WPA Inland Bank Performance Standards There will be no direct alteration to the Inland Bank and therefore there will be no impairment to the physical stability, water carrying capacity, or ability of the bank to provide breeding habitat, escape, cover and food for fisheries or important wildlife habitat functions. The work will be performed in a manner that prevents any indirect impairment as well. Demolition of the north portion of Redwood will be accomplished from the upland side and when completed the area will be regraded and restored with native plantings. Appropriate controls (staked straw bales or entrenched silt fence will be installed along the downgradient side of the work limits to prevent displaced sediments from migrating toward the Inland Bank. These measures will ensure that there is no impairment to surface or groundwater quality. 5.2 Yarmouth Wetland Protection Regulations The regulations promulgated under the Yarmouth Wetland Protection Bylaw expand the jurisdiction of the conservation commission and establish more restrictive performance standards than those that are applicable under the WPA. There following sections summarize the distinctions that are relevant to the two resource areas that are regulated under the local bylaw: Inland Bank and Vegetated Wetlands. Compliance with Yarmouth Wetland Inland Bank Performance Standards The definition and presumptions of significance for Inland Bank established under the WPA regulations are generally maintained in the language of the Yarmouth Wetland Protection Regulations. However, there is an important difference in the performance standards applied under the WPA and local wetland protection regulations. While the WPA regulatory performance standards apply to projects that would directly alter an Inland Bank, the Yarmouth Wetland Protection Regulations apply to all projects that would alter land within 100 feet of Inland Banks. Although the renovation of Redwood will not alter any portion of the Inland Bank that surrounds Elisha’s Pond, it will require some earth disturbance within 100 feet of the Inland Bank and therefore is subject to the performance standards of the Yarmouth Wetland Protection Regulations. The work within the buffer zone includes the removal of approximately 1000 sf of the existing Redwood Lodge and installation of approximately 1000 sf of native plantings within the area vacated. Thus, the Project satisfies the performance standards applied under the Yarmouth Wetland Protection Regulations. Another more subtle difference between the two regulations is noteworthy. Under the WPA regulations a project may alter up to 10% or 50 feet (whichever is less) of Inland Bank that provides such habitat while the Yarmouth Wetland Protection Regulation states that a project may alter 7396/Camp Wingate*Kirkland Improvements 6 Project Narrative 79 White Rock Road, Yarmouth Port Epsilon Associates, Inc. up to 50 feet of inland bank, without limiting the allowable alteration to a percentage of the bank present on the subject parcel. Notwithstanding, this distinction is not applicable here since no portion of the proposed work will alter any portion of the Inland Bank. Compliance with Yarmouth Vegetated Wetlands Performance Standards The recently revised Yarmouth Wetland Protection Regulation expands the jurisdiction of the Yarmouth Conservation Commission by including activities within 100 feet of isolated wetlands that are greater than 500 square feet in area. This is a significant departure from the WPA regulations, which do not establish a 100-foot buffer zone around isolated wetlands (i.e. wetlands that are not located directly adjacent to a waterbody). Vegetated Wetlands are defined in the Yarmouth Wetland Protection Regulations as brackish and freshwater wetland such as wet meadows, marshes, swamps and bogs that typically occur where the topography is low and flat, and where soils are annually saturated. The performance standard applied by the Yarmouth Wetland Protection Regulations state that any proposed work in a Vegetated Wetland or within 100 feet of a Vegetated Wetland shall not destroy any portions of said vegetated wetland (except when allowed under section 5.06), nor shall the proposed work impair in any way the vegetated wetland’s ability to perform any of the functions including wildlife habitat, public or private water supply, groundwater supply, flood control, storm damage prevention, prevention of pollution, protection of fisheries, and protection of shellfish. The proposed renovations to the Art Barn will alter lands within 100 feet of a Vegetated Wetland that is located approximately 70 feet to the northeast. Thus, the replacement of the Art Barn in its same footprint is within the jurisdiction of the Yarmouth Conservation Commission. That small, vegetated wetland is described in Section 2 of this narrative and is depicted on the attached plans prepared by Down Cape Engineering (refer to Attachment G). The replacement of the Art Barn within its existing footprint will require minimal ground disturbance and the mitigation provided elsewhere is more than adequate in terms of satisfying area requirements for all of the camp improvements described in this Notice of Intent. The Project thus satisfies the performance standards of the Yarmouth Wetland Protection Regulations. Compliance with Yarmouth Buffer Zone Performance Standards The Yarmouth Wetland Protection Regulations also establish specific performance standards for activities proposed within the 100-foot buffer zone of any resource areas as defined under the local bylaw. These performance standards prohibit most new structures within fifty feet of protected resource areas and establish buffer restoration goals for new projects located within the 100-foot buffer zone. 7396/Camp Wingate*Kirkland Improvements 7 Project Narrative 79 White Rock Road, Yarmouth Port Epsilon Associates, Inc. The proposed renovations to Redwood and replacement of the Art Barn in its existing footprint do not require new structures within fifty feet of the Inland Bank or Vegetated Wetland. In fact, the renovation of Redwood will result in a reduction of the footprint of that structure within the buffer zone of Inland Bank and will enable the restoration of approximately 1,000 square feet in accordance with the planting requirements specified in the Yarmouth Wetland Protection Regulations. 6.0 Conclusions The project satisfies the performance standards applied to projects within resource area buffer zones under both the WPA regulations and Yarmouth Wetland Protection Regulations. Most importantly, as renovations and replacements of existing structures, the proposed improvements do not involve the construction of any new structures within the restricted 50-foot buffer zone. In addition, the renovation of Redwood will result in a significant reduction of building footprint and restoration of wooded habitat within the 50-foot buffer zone of Inland Bank. There are no required alterations to either the Inland Bank or the Vegetated Wetland and appropriate measures are being implemented to prevent any inadvertent disturbances to these areas. Lastly, the restoration of buffer zone associated with the renovation of Redwood will be carried out in accordance with the planting requirements specified in the Yarmouth Wetland Protection Regulations. As described in this Notice of Intent, both the proposed renovations to the Redwood lodge and replacement of the Art Barn in its same footprint will be performed in a manner that protects the nearby wetland resource areas. The applicant therefore respectfully requests that the Yarmouth Conservation Commission approve the proposed activities and issue an Order of Conditions so that the work can proceed.
