Dear Brittany:

Job No.2023-0169-01
On behalf of our client, the Great Island Homeowners Association (GIHA), we are submitting an original Notice of
Intent (NOI), three original checks for municipal filing fees, and an original plus six copies of the plan for the above
referenced project.
Please note that since the causeway is located in the Great Island Common Areas, under the GIHOA Declaration
and Bylaws, the GIHOA, acting through its Board of Directors, has the authority to sign the NOI form, rather than
the Trustees of the Great Island Realty Trust (listed as the Owner).
Please schedule this for your February 20, 2025, public hearing. If you have any questions or require additional
information, please give me a call at 508-495-6270 or send an email to 'wriglev(@woodsholegroup.com.
Sincerely,
ESP

B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Introduction
Great Island is a roughly 550-acre peninsula situated between the eastern shoreline of Lewis Bay
and Nantucket Sound in West Yarmouth, Massachusetts. Great Island Homeowners' Association
(GIHA) includes 43 homes (and seven open lots) that are connected to the mainland by Great
Island Road located on Great Island Barrier Beach. Great Island Road provides the only means of
vehicle access for residents and has become increasingly vulnerable to coastal storm flooding
and damage due to climate change. Figure B-1 shows the roadway network on Great Island.
Figure B-1. Great Island roadway infrastructure (gray lines).
The coastal beach and dune resources along the Nantucket Sound side of the road have lost
width, elevation, and volume in recent years, creating a greater risk of erosion and coastal storm
damage to the road. The vulnerability of the roadway, which serves as the only means of vehicle
and emergency access to the Island, is a significant concern for GIHA. With a large enough storm,
damage along Great Island Road could render the roadway impassable, with potential permanent
damage to the road infrastructure, including the associated utilities (i.e., fiber-optic cable,
electricity) that serve the Island. Damage to any of this infrastructure could threaten public health
and safety for the Island's year-round residents.
The roadway's vulnerability was exposed most notably in December 2023, when a coastal storm
caused considerable damage to the beach, dune, and roadway, resulting in a severely degraded
dune and over washed sand and debris in the road. During that storm, which included strong
southeast winds and significant waves in Nantucket Sound, there was extensive damage to two

(2) portions of the primary frontal dune protecting the south side of Great Island Road. In
response to this damage, the GIHA filed for and received an Emergency Certification to install
bulk sand bag arrays along two (2) sections of exposed roadway covering 920 linear feet. An after
the fact Order of Conditions (DEP SE 83-2431) was issued by the Conservation Commission on
October 9, 2024. The Order required the southern bulk sand bag array to be replaced with a fiber
roll array. It also required the larger northern bulk sand bag array to be replaced with a fiber roll
array over time if the bulk bags are damaged or start to deteriorate. Work to replace the
southern sand bag array is scheduled for late winter 2025.
Recognizing the vulnerability of the roadway as the only means of access to the Island, the GIHA
hired Woods Hole Group and Fuss & O'Neill to conduct a Feasibility Study for Road and Bridge
Resiliency Improvements. The purpose of the study was to evaluate near -term and long-term
resiliency strategies aimed at reducing the vulnerability of infrastructure and ensuring that Great
Island remains accessible in the face of changing environmental conditions. Findings of the
Feasibility Study are being used by GIHA to move beyond reactive temporary responses to shore
protection needs towards a strategic approach for building near-, mid-, and long-term resilience.
The focus of this NOI filing is on permitting recommendations provided in the Feasibility Study
for near -term actions (next 1-5 years) intended to provide protection for the road while GIHA
proceeds with the design, permitting, and construction of the mid-term resiliency actions.
Project Description
The proposed project includes installation of a fiber roll array and dune nourishment along the
eastern side of Great Island Road, on an as needed basis only, to provide protection for the road
from storm damage, erosion, and undermining. The fiber rolls and sand nourishment will be
installed along the edge of the road in areas where future storm damage erodes the dune to
within 5 feet of the edge of the road. In this way, the natural features of the dune will be
maintained on site as long as feasibly possible, and the extent of fiber rolls will be minimized to
only what is necessary to protect the roadway. In total, the proposed fiber roll array and
nourishment could span up to 3,400 linear feet of shoreline as shown on Figure B-2. The
proposed project includes areas of the site where the current dune profile between Great Island
Road and Nantucket Sound is 75 ft wide or less. Dune profiles greater than 75 ft in width are
considered to be protective of the road over the next 1-5 years, while dune widths less than 75
ft are areas where erosion over the next 1-5 years may threaten the use of Great Island Road.
Coir fiber rolls are temporary "soft" structures that have proven effective to reduce erosion in
coastal flood zones and other sensitive resource areas. Constructed of natural, coconut jute
material, fiber rolls contribute to the resiliency of coastal dunes by helping to stabilize the
landform while allowing it to erode and shift naturally. Fiber roll arrays such as these succeed
well when they are nourished with dune compatible sand to remain covered and are planted
with native, dune compatible plant species.

Woods Hole Group, Inc. • ACLS Company
Figure B-2. Existing and proposed roadway protection along Great Island Road.
The fiber roll installation will consist of an array of 24-inch diameter fiber rolls set in a tiered
fashion as shown on Sheets 2-3 of the attached plans entitled "Proactive NOI for Great Island
Road Using Fiber Rolls and Dune Nourishment, Great Island Road, Yarmouth, MA", dated
1/27/25. The crest elevation of the fiber rolls will be set at the same elevation as the road and
the rolls will be anchored in place using steel cables and duckbill anchors. The duckbill anchors
will be attached to 10 ft lengths of 3/8" to Y2"cable at 5 ft intervals. The fiber roll arrays will be
placed in minimum lengths of 100 ft, depending on the extent of dune erosion and adjacent
features (i.e., groins, pre existing fiber rolls).
Because fiber rolls are constructed of natural coconut jute material, they need to be kept buried
to avoid premature deterioration from exposure to UV light. To ensure their usefulness and
longevity, the fiber roll array will be consistently covered to a depth of 1 ft or more and then
planted during the next immediate planting season. The dune will be graded at slopes of 1V:2H
on the landward side and 1V:4H on the seaward side to maintain stability as shown on the
engineering plans entitled "Proactive NO1 for Great Island Road Using Fiber Rolls and Dune

Nourishment, Great Island Road, Yarmouth, MA", dated 1/27/25. Per any requirements by the
MA Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program, the applicant will ensure that all work
occurs outside of the April 1 — August 31 Time of Year Restriction and that the fiber roll array
remains buried at an appropriate depth. Upon completion of the finished dune, areas of new
dune nourishment will be replanted using American Beach Grass (Ammophila breviligulato) at 3-
culms per hole, 12" on center.
The beach and dunes will be monitored in the early spring and fall, and after storms, for as long
as the fiber rolls are in place. The rolls will be examined for damage and/or displacement and for
sand cover. If necessary, additional sand cover over the fiber rolls will be installed up to 3 times
per year using approximately 0.9 cubic yards per linear foot of beach. Keeping the fiber rolls
covered with sand will help to maintain the longevity of the roadway protection and ensure
suitable slopes for protected shorebirds.
Construction Methodology
As per the proposed site plan, the fiber roll array extends along 3,400 linear feet of shoreline.
However, installation of the array within the approved project footprint will occur on a section -
by -section basis as needed in response to storm events. Project implementation will proceed
according to the following plan that prioritizes fiber roll installation and dune nourishment in
areas where the dune erodes to within 5 ft of Great Island Road.
Prior to the start of work, the applicant shall coordinate a pre -construction meeting with
Commission staff and the contractor no less than 24 hrs in advance of the start of work. Prior to
this meeting, the area designated for fiber roll installation will be clearly marked with stakes that
show the landward limit of the structure as well as the ends and seaward extent of the
renourished dune in each section.
In addition, the applicant will submit to the Conservation Commission a document that
identifies and includes the following:
1. Vehicle turnouts to be used for material staging (corresponding to numbers on the
approved site plan)
2. The amount of sand to be imported for the project as well as the source of the sand and
demonstration of compatibility with native beach and dune sediment
3. Linear footage of fiber rolls to be installed
4. Photographs of the work area showing existing conditions prior to renourishment
5. Contact information for the contractor
In areas where the fiber roll array will be placed, the contractor will use an excavator to dig to
elevation 1.5 to 2.0 ft NAVD88 and a Bobcat or skidsteer will be used to place the bottom fiber
roll in place and the duckbill anchor will be installed. Additional fiber rolls will be placed in a
tiered fashion and secured using the duckbill anchors at 5 ft intervals. The fiber rolls will form a
tightly secured array aligned to follow the edge of the road. In sections where the groins and rip
Great Island Homeowners Association — Notice of Intent Application Page B4 of 87
Fiber Roll Array and Nourishment for Sections of Great Island Road, Yarmouth, MA
Woods Hole Group, Inc. •ACLSCompany
rap exist on the seaward side of the dune, the fiber rolls will be placed between the structures
and the road itself. No work will be performed to alter either existing groins or the placement of
existing riprap. Once a section of fiber rolls is complete, the area will be nourished using clean
sediments of a compatible grain size.
During the work phase, the contractor will use the existing vehicle turn -outs for staging of
materials and equipment. Work to install the fiber rolls and nourishment material will take
place from the road and from the beach above the high tide line. Equipment access to the beach
will be gained via access points as shown on the engineering plan entitled "Proactive NO] for
Great Island Road Using Fiber Rolls and Dune Nourishment, Great Island Road, Yarmouth, MA",
dated 1/27/25. A total of 24 material storage areas may be used along the length of Great Island
Road. This is to ensure that use of existing access points reduces temporary impacts to the
resource area as much as possible so that the work does not compromise other less vulnerable
sections of the barrier beach.
Within 60 days of completion of the work, the applicant will submit to the conservation office an
as -built plan that shows the elevations of the recently completed work as well as photographs of
the finished area.
Wetland Resource Areas Impacted:
Work for the project will occur within Coastal Dune, Coastal Beach, Barrier Beach, Estimated
Habitats of Rare Wildlife, and Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage resource areas. Table B-1
describes the total possible area of disturbance to each resource, in the event that all 3,400 linear
ft of roadway are protected.
Table B-1
Total Area of Disturbance.
* Total areas include staging areas on the west side of Great Island Road.
Ongoing Maintenance:
The fiber roll array is meant to serve as a temporary erosion control measure that stabilizes
sections of the Primary Dune to prevent damage to the roadway and underlying electric utilities
until the applicant has implemented one of the longer -term solutions identified in the Woods
Hole Group and Fuss & O'Neill Feasibility Study for Road and Bridge Resiliency Improvements. It
is expected that one or more resiliency alternatives identified in the study will take between 3
and 5 years to design, permit and construct. Consequently, the fiber roll array will serve as a
temporary erosion control measure for the roadway until the longer -term solution can be
implemented. During this time, additional sand cover over the fiber rolls is being requested up
to 3 times per year to help maintain the longevity of the fiber roll arrays and ensure suitable
slopes for protected shorebirds. Maintenance may include repair of damaged fiber rolls as

Woods Hole Group, Inc. • A CLS
necessary and nourishment of up to 4,000 cubic yards of beach -compatible sand to maintain the
proposed dune profile.
Alternatives Considered:
Do Nothing
Since the December 2023 storms that caused significant erosion to the Coastal Dune, the status
of the resource area has not improved. The Do Nothing alternative would leave the dune and
road infrastructure in a position of increasing vulnerability.
The Do Nothing alternative would risk complete erosion of the Coastal Dune with future storm
activity and likely damage to the roadway and associated utilities that serve the 43 developed
properties on Great Island. This alternative has the potential to cause significant damage to the
roadway and possibly trap year-round residents on the island if they are not evacuated in
advance of an impending storm and renders emergency access by land impossible. Storm damage
to the roadway could also result in pieces of asphalt dislodging and spreading across the beach.
For these reasons, this alternative was eliminated from further consideration.
Dune Nourishment
Dune nourishment was also considered as an alternative for restoring the dunes and providing
protection for Great Island Road. Based on previous storm damage during the 2023-2024 winter
season, it was determined that any dune nourishment efforts would have only short-term effects,
and the likelihood of damage to the roadway and associated utilities would remain high with this
alternative. Repeated renourishment during the winter storm season would introduce significant
quantities of sediment to the littoral system at a high cost to the GIHA'. For these reasons, this
alternative was eliminated from further consideration.
Bulk Bags with Sand Cover
This alternative, which was the focus of a previous after -the -fact filing, includes the use of
geotextile bulk bags with sand cover along the most severely eroded sections of the dune to
protect vulnerable sections of Great Island Road. This alternative includes the placement of bulk
bags covered with nourishment, including backfill, to replicate the previous dune profile. The bulk
bags would provide a buffer along the edge of the roadway that would prevent wave action from
further damaging the road and associated utilities. By maintaining sand cover over the bags twice
per year (as needed), this alternative would provide a sediment source to adjacent beaches and
help to maintain the natural dune profile. During the previous after -the -fact filing for geotextile
bulk bags, the Commission expressed concern that the bags would be considered a structure and
therefore not permittable under the Wetland Protection Act and local Wetland Bylaws. As a
result, this alternative was removed from further consideration.

The preferred alternative proposed in this Notice of Intent consists of a fiber roll array that would
provide a near -term solution for dune stabilization and road protection. While it is not a
permanent solution, the fiber roll array will help to stabilize eroded dune areas and provide
protection for up to 3,400 linear feet of roadway. The fiber roll array will aid in reconstructing
the Primary Dune so that the landform is allowed to erode and migrate naturally while also
protecting the road itself. It is estimated that this temporary solution will need to be in place and
maintained for approximately 3-5 years, until a longer -term solution can be implemented.

History of Development
Great Island Road provides the sole means of access to 43 homes located on Great Island. The
road was first developed in the early 1800s. Subsequent changes to relocate a portion of the
road north and south of White Cedar Road further from the shoreline were made between 1969
and 1973 (Figure C-2). A series of shore perpendicular groins were also installed along the
shoreline east of the road between 1938 and 1969. A small section of the road located mid -way
between White Cedar Road and the bridge was armored with rip rap stone sometime in the late
1970s. The armoring extends along approximately 750 linear feet of the roadway. A large-scale

beach nourishment project was implemented in the winter of 1989-1990, placing approximately
330,000 cubic yards of material on the south and west -facing shorelines of Great Island (south of
Fox Point). More recently, the Great Island Homeowners Association (GIHA) implemented a small
dune restoration project along the east -facing shoreline to protect the road from storm damage.

Sea Level Rise
Woods Hole Group, Inc. • A CLS
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Center for Operational
Oceanographic Products and Services maintains a series of tide gauges along the coast of
Massachusetts. Records from NOAA's tide gauges closest to the site, at Woods Hole (Station ID
8447930) and Nantucket (Station ID 8449130), indicate that relative sea level has risen at a rate
between 3.07 and 4.01 mm annually over the past 58 to 91 years. This translates to a change of
1.01 to 1.32 ft (12.0 to 15.79 inches) in 100 years.
Storm Surge and Future Flooding
The Commonwealth's High Sea Level Rise (SLR) scenario, as integrated into the Massachusetts
Coast Flood Risk Model (MC-FRM), was used to evaluate the project area's vulnerability to
flooding in 2030 and 2070 (Figures C-3 and C-4). These figures show a probability of annual
flooding along Great Island Road in the area of the proposed fiber roll arrays of 100% by 2030.
By 2070 the probability of annual flooding is 100%for the entire stretch of road along the barrier
beach. The low-lying nature of the site also puts the road at risk of flooding during future periods
of high tide. Figure C-5 shows the extents of mean higher high water (MHHW) for present day,
2030, 2050, and 2070 at the project site, based on data from the MC-FRM dataset. The back side
(west side) of the barrier beach and the bridge areas are already experiencing flooding during
spring high tides. Daily tidal flooding is predicted to impact larger sections of Great Island Road
by the year 2070.

Beach, Coastal Dune, Barrier Beach, Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage, and Estimated
Habitats of Rare Wildlife. Wetland resource areas delineated on January 19, 2024, for the
Feasibility Study for Road and Bridge Resiliency Infrastructure Project at Great Island are shown
in Figure C-7. A description of each resource area is provided in the following sections.

Coastal Beach 310 CMR 10.27
The 310 CMR 10.27 regulations define Coastal Beach as extending "from the mean low water line
landward to the dune line, coastal bank line or the seaward edge of existing human -made
structures, when these structures replace one of the above lines, whichever is closest to the
ocean." Coastal Beach resources are present at the site along the east side of Great Island Road,
between the low water line in Nantucket Sound and the toe of Coastal Dune or existing rip rap.
The Coastal Beach ranges in width from 80 to 100 ft, with a mild slope of 1V:20H (Figures C-8 and
C-9). The beach does not exhibit a typical beach berm with a wide and nearly flat high tide beach.
Instead, the cross -shore slope from the low water line and the toe of dune or rip rap is relatively
uniform. The high tide line is between 25 and 30 ft from the toe of the Coastal Dune.
During coastal storms, the beach is typically inundated with surge and wave action. Significant
storm events, such as the ones that occurred during December 2023 and January 2024, can result
in significant erosion of the Coastal Beach and adjacent Coastal Dune. Seasonal changes in beach
width are also common, with the beach becoming wider during the summer months and
narrower during winter months.

Coastal Dune 310 CMR 10.28
The 310 CMR 10.28 regulations define Coastal Dune as "any natural hill, mound, or ridge of
sediment landward of a coastal beach deposited by wind action or storm overwash. Coastal dune
also means sediment deposited by artificial means and serving the purpose of storm damage
prevention or flood control." Primary Coastal Dune resource is present along much of the eastern
side of Great Island Road and Secondary Coastal Dune resource is present throughout the area
of Barrier Beach west of the road. The Primary Coastal Dune is relatively narrow, ranging from
15 to 47 ft wide (Figures C-10 thru C-12). The width is generally greatest at the northern end of
the site and narrowest at the southern end of the site. Dune crest elevations east and west of
Great Island Road range from 7.0 to 11.0 ft NAVD88. Vegetation on the Coastal Dunes includes
American beachgrass (A. breviligulata), seaside goldenrod (S. sempervirens), dusty miller (J.
maratima), Northern bayberry (M. pensylvanica) Eastern red cedar (J. virginiano) scrub oak (Q.
ilicifolia), and pitch pine (P. rigida) interspersed.

Barrier Beach 310 CMR 10.29
The entirety of the Project area is located within a Barrier Beach resource. The 310 CMR 10.29
regulations define Barrier Beach as a "narrow low-lying strip of land generally consisting of
coastal beaches and coastal dunes extending roughly parallel to the trend of the coast. It is
separated from the mainland by a narrow body of fresh, brackish or saline water or a marsh
system. A barrier beach may be joined to the mainland at one or both ends."
Estimated Habitats of Rare Wildlife 310 CMR 10.37
The proposed project area is located within Priority and Estimated Habitats of Rare Species (PH
945, EH 756) as published by the Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (Figure C-
13). As described in the 301 CMR 10.37 regulations, Estimated Habitat Maps are "based on the
estimated geographical extent of the habitats of all state -listed vertebrate and invertebrate
animal species for which a reported occurrence within the last 25 years has been accepted by
the Program and incorporated into its official data base". According to the Natural Heritage and
Endangered Species Program, the project site is located within Priority habitat of Piping Plover
(Charadrius melodus — threatened), Least Tern (Sternula antillarum — Special Concern) and New
England Blazing Star (Liatris novae-angliae-Special Concern). Since the proposed fiber rolls are
located on the Coastal Dune, the project will not have an impact on New England Blazing Star
habitat which is located on the western side of Great Island Road.

Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage 310 CMR 10.04
The proposed project area is located within Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage which is
defined in 310 CMR 10.04 as "land subject to any inundation caused by coastal storms up to and
including that caused by the 100-year storm, surge of record or storm of record, whichever is
greater." Land subject to coastal storm flowage in the Project area is delineated based on the
Special Flood Hazard Area boundary shown on the current effective FEMA Flood Insurance Rate
Maps (Effective 2014). The proposed fiber roll project area is mapped within flood Zones VE (El
14) and (El 13) on FEMA flood zone maps 25001CO588J and 25001CO782J (Figure C-14). The VE

beach -form and volume. In evaluating necessity, coastal engineering, physical
oceanographic and/or coastal geologic information shall be considered.
(b) Immediately after construction any groin shall be filled to entrapment capacity in
height and length with sediment of grain size compatible with that of the adjacent
beach.
(c) Jetties trapping littoral drift material shall contain a sand by-pass system to transfer
sediments to the downdrift side of the inlet or shall be periodically redredged to provide
beach nourishment to ensure that downdrift or adjacent beaches are not starved of
sediments.
The fiber rolls to be installed for this project constitute a "soft" erosion control solution. The
fiber roll arrays will not interfere with littoral drift as they do nct extend perpendicular to the
beach. As such, the fiber rolls will not trap or impound littoral drift. The sand nourishment
over the array will provide a source of sand for transport to adjacent beaches during storms
with elevated water levels and waves. The length of the fiber roll array was designed to
provide critical erosion control for the roadway in the future as erosion encroaches closer to
the road.
(5) Notwithstanding 310 CMR 10.27(3), beach nourishment with clean sediment of a grain
size compatible with that on the existing beach may be permitted.
While the project does not involve nourishment of the Coastal Beach, sand cover over the
fiber rolls on the Coastal Dune will be maintained and replenished up to three -times annually
as necessary. All material used for covering the fiber rolls will be clean sediment with a grain
size distribution that is compatible with the adjacent beach.
WHEN A TIDAL FLAT IS DETERMINED TO BE SIGNIFICANT TO MARINE FISHERIES OR THE
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE HABITAT, THE FOLLOWING REGULATION SHALL APPLY:
(6) In addition to complying with the requirements of 310 CMR 10.27(3) and 10.27(4), a
project on a tidal flat shall if water -dependent be designed and constructed, using best
available measures, so as to minimize adverse effects, and if non -water -dependent, have no
adverse effects, on marine fisheries and wildlife habitat caused by:
(a) alterations in water circulation,
(b) alterations in the distribution of sediment grain size and

• Woods Hole Group, Inc. • A CLS Company
(c) changes in water quality, including, but not limited to, other than natural
fluctuations in the levels of dissolved oxygen, temperature or turbidity, or the addition of
pollutants.
NA —The project did not take place on the tidal flats.
(7) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 10.27(3) through (6), no project may be
permitted which will have any adverse effect on specified habitat sites or rare vertebrate or
invertebrate species, as identified by procedures established under 310 CMR 10.37.
According to the Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (HNESP), the project site
is located within Priority Habitat of Piping Plover, Least Tern, and New England Blazing Star.
Since the fiber roll arrays are located on the Primary Coastal Dune, the project will not have
an impact on New England Blazing Star habitat which is located on the west side of the road.
Impacts to protected shorebirds will be avoided by following all required Time -of -Year
restrictions for construction. This means that all future work to maintain sand cover over the
fiber rolls will be performed between September 1 and March 31. Additionally, the slope of
the sand cover over the fiber rolls in the Coastal Dune will be no steeper than 1VAH.
Excerpts from 310 CMR 10.28 — Coastal Dune
Work proposed in the Coastal Dune includes installation and maintenance of fiber roll arrays
for erosion control and installation of sand cover over the fiber roll arrays up to three -times
annually.
(2) Definition. Coastal Dune means any natural hill, mound or ridge of sediment landward
of a coastal beach deposited by wind action or storm overwash. Coastal dune also means
sediment deposited by artificial means and serving the purpose of storm damage prevention
or flood control.
WHEN A COASTAL DUNE IS DETERMINED TO BE SIGNIFICANT TO STORM DAMAGE
PREVENTION, FLOOD CONTROL OR THE PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE HABITAT, 310 CMR
10.28(3) through (6) SHALL APPLY:
(3) Any alteration of, or structure on, a coastal dune or within 100 feet of a coastal dune
shall not have an adverse effect on the coastal dune by:
(a) affecting the ability of waves to remove sand from the dune;
(b) disturbing the vegetative cover so as to destabilize the dune;
(c) causing any modification of the dune form that would increase the potential for
storm or flood damage;
(d) interfering with the landward or lateral movement of the dune;
(e) causing removal of sand from the dune artificially; or
(f) interfering with mapped or otherwise identified bird nesting habitat.

Woods Hole Group, Inc. • A CLS Company
The proposed project includes the temporary alteration of a Coastal Dune by the placement
of a tiered fiber roll array and sand cover as needed, up to three times annually. (a)
Maintenance of sand cover over the fiber rolls will continue to provide a source of sediment
to adjacent beaches during periods of elevated water levels and waves and will not interfere
with the ability of waves to remove sand from the Coastal Dune. (b) Areas of the Coastal
Dune that receive nourishment and are reconstructed using the fiber roll array will be
replanted with American Beach Grass to cover the array. The fiber roll array functions best
when covered with sand so that the natural fibers are not prematurely degraded by UV
radiation. American Beach Grass root systems are very effective at holding sand and aiding
windblown accretion that can help a fiber roll array remain buried. (c) The fiber roll arrays in
the Coastal Dune will help to prevent storm damage of dune resources and Great Island Road
located west of the project. Additionally, maintenance of sand cover over the array will help
to minimize direct wave action on the erosion control system and therefore prevent wave -
induced scour of dune and beach resources around and behind the array. (d) The fiber roll
arrays will not interfere with the landward or lateral movement of the Coastal Dune since
they are designed specifically to not inhibit the movement of sand, allowing the landform to
respond naturally to coastal processes. (e) Installation of the fiber roll arrays and placement
of periodic sand cover will add sand to the dune. The project will not cause the removal of
sand from the dune artificially. (f) As noted above in the response to 310 CMR 10.27(7), the
proposed project will not interfere With mapped or otherwise identified bird nesting habitat.
(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of 310 CMR 10.28(3), when a building already exists
upon a coastal dune, a project accessory to the existing building may be permitted, provided
that such work, using the best commercially available measures, minimizes the adverse
effect on the coastal dune caused by the impacts listed in 310 CMR 10.28(3)(b) through
10.28(3)(e). Such an accessory project may include, but is not limited to, a small shed or a
small parking area for residences. I t shall not include coastal engineering structures.
NA — The project is not an accessory to a building that already exists in the Coastal Dune.
(5) The following projects may be permitted, provided that they adhere to the provisions of
310 CMR 10.28(3):
(a) pedestrian walkways, designed to minimize the disturbance to the vegetative
cover and traditional bird nesting habitat;
(b) fencing and other devices designed to increase dune development; and
(c) plantings compatible with the natural vegetative cover.
NA — The project does not include a pedestrian walkway or fencing designed to increase dune
development..
(6) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 10.28(3) through (5), no project may be
permitted which will have any adverse effect on specified habitat sites of rare vertebrate or
invertebrate species, as identified by procedures established under 310 CMR 10.37.

According to the Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program, the project site is
located within Priority habitat of Piping Plover, Least Tern, and New England Blazing Star.
Since the bulk bag arrays are located on the Primary Coastal Dune, the project will not have
an impact on New England Blazing Star habitat which is located on the western side of the
road. Impacts to protected shorebirds will be avoided by following all required Time of Year
windows for construction. This means that all future work to maintain sand cover over the
fiber rolls will be performed between September 1 and March 31. Additionally, the slope of
the sand cover over the bulk bags in the Coastal Dune will be no steeper than 1VAH.
Excerpts from 310 CMR 10.29 - Barrier Beach
Work proposed in the Barrier Beach includes installation and maintenance of fiber roll arrays
for erosion control and installation of sand cover over the fiber roll arrays up to three -times
annually.
(2) Definition. Barrier Beach means a narrow low-lying strip of land generally consisting
of coastal beaches and coastal dunes extending roughly parallel to the trend of the
coast. It is separated from the mainland by a narrow body of fresh, brackish or saline
water or a marsh system. A barrier beach may be joined to the mainland at one or both
ends.
(3) When a Barrier Beach is Determined to be Significant to Storm Damage Prevention
Flood Control, Marine Fisheries or Protection of Wildlife Habitat. 310 CMR 10.27(3)
through 10.27(6)(coostal beaches) and 10.28(3) through 10.28(5) (coastal dunes) shall
apply to the coastal beaches and to all coastal dunes which make up a barrier beach.
See discussions above (in Coastal Beach and Coastal Dune).
(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of 310 CMR 10.29(3), no project may be permitted
which will have any adverse effect on specified habitat sites of rare vertebrate or
invertebrate species, as identified by procedures established under 310 CMR 10.37.
According to the Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program, the project site is
located within Priority habitat of Piping Plover, Least Tern, and New England Blazing Star.

Excerpts from 4.02 Coastal Beaches and Tidal Flats
(3) Performance Standards: Any activity which is allowed on a coastal beach or tidal flat
or within 100 feet of a coastal beach or tidal flat shall not have an adverse effect on the
coastal beach or tidal flat by:
(a) Affecting the ability of the waves to remove sand from the beach or tidal flat;
(b) Disturbing the vegetative cover, if any, so as to destabilize the beach or tidal flat;
(c) Causing any modification of the beach or downdrift beach that would increase
the potential for storm or flood damage;
(d) Interfering with the natural movement of the beach or tidal flat;
(e) Causing artificial removal of sand from the beach or downdrift beach;
(f) Removing seaweed or substrate from the coastal beach in the intertidal zone
(between MLW and MHW) that provides valuable habitat and potential for sand
accretion, unless deemed a public health emergency by the Director of Health.
The proposed fiber roll arrays and periodic sand nourishment in the Coastal Dune are located
within 100 feet of the Coastal Beach. (a) The project is located at the landward edge of
Coastal Beach. Periodic renourishment of the bulk bag arrays will help to minimize direct
wave action on the fiber rolls and therefore prevent wave -induced scour of dune and beach
resources around the array. (b) The Coastal Beach does not currently support vegetative
cover. This project will not change that. (c) Periodic renourishment over the fiber roll arrays
will provide an additional source of material for the nearby beaches during storms with
elevated water levels and increased wave energy. The added source of sediment will improve
the ability of the Coastal Beach to provide storm damage prevention and flood control. (d)
The project will not interfere with longshore sediment transport along the beach as the
project does not represent a shore perpendicular barrier that will trap or impound sediment.
Landward migration of the Coastal Beach is already somewhat controlled by the presence of
Great Island Road. The proposed project will continue to limit the beach from migrating
further landward; however, it is expected that the longer -term solution for access to Great
Island will result in retreat of section(s) of roadway that will restore natural migration and
movement of the Coastal Beach. (e) Periodic renourishment over the fiber roll arrays will
provide an additional source of material for the nearby beaches during storms. (f) Removal
of seaweed from the Coastal Beach is not proposed.
Excerpts from 4.03 Coastal Dunes
(3) Performance Standards: Any activity which is allowed on a coastal dune or within 100
feet of a coastal dune shall not have an adverse effect on the coastal dune by:
(a) Affecting the ability of waves to remove sand from the dune;
(b) Disturbing the vegetative cover so as to destabilize the dune;
(c) Causing any modification of the dune form that would increase the potential for
storm or flood damage;
(d) Interfering with the landward or lateral movement of the dune;

See response above for 310 CMR 10.28(3) for Coastal Dune.
Subject to reasonable conditions, the following projects may be permitted, provided they
adhere to the provisions of the above performance standards:
(a) Elevated pedestrian walkways, designed to minimize disturbance to vegetative
cover, and traditional bird nesting habitat. Walkways shall have a minimum
clearance of two feet above any existing vegetation;
(b) Fencing and other devices designed to increase dune development; and
(c) Plantings compatible with the natural vegetative cover
See response above for 310 CMR 10.28(4) for Coastal Dune.
Excerpts from 4.04 Barrier Beaches
(3) Performance Standards: The performance standards of sections 4.02 and 4.03 shall
apply to the coastal beaches and to all coastal dunes which make up a barrier beach.
See discussions above (in Coastal Beach and Coastal Dune).
Excerpts from 4.10 Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage
The entire project is located within Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage.
(3) Performance Standards: When the Commission determines that Land subject to
coastal storm flowage overlays other Resource areas, the applicable performance
standards for each Resource area shall be independently and collectively applied and the
project shall be appropriately conditioned to protect all stated Resource area values.
(a) General Performance Standards
Any activity within land subject to coastal storm flowage which will result in the
building upon, removing, filling or altering of land shall not have an adverse
effect on the interests protected by the bylaw by:
I. reducing the ability of the land to absorb and contain flood waters;
Il. reducing the ability of the land to buffer more inland areas from flooding
and wave damage;
111. increasing the elevation or velocity of flood waters, or by redirecting or
increasing flows or causing channelization, in each case at the project
site, adjacent or nearby properties, or any public or private way.
IV. displacing or diverting flood waters to other properties or resource areas.
Fences and privacy walls, including walls separating one property from
another, may obstruct or divert flood flow and waves toward buildings
Great Island Homeowners Association — Notice of Intent Application Page D7 of D10
Sections of Great Island Road, Yarmouth, MA
Woods Hole Group, Inc. • A CLS
and protected areas. Solid fences (stockade and similar) must be
constructed with 6 inches of clearance below to allow the passage of
floodwaters and wildlife;
V. causing, or creating the likelihood of, damage to other structures on land
within the flood plain as debris (collateral damage);
Vl. causing ground, surface or soltate pollution triggered by coastal storm
flowage;
VII. reducing the ability of the resource to serve as a wildlife habitat and
migration corridor through activities such as, but not limited to the
removal of substantial vegetative cover and/or installation of fencing and
other structures which prevent wildlife migration across property.
Vlll. prevention of the migration of resource areas such as salt marshes due to
sea level rise.
IX. If flood control and storm damage protection functions have already been
impaired, redevelopment must improve existing conditions by reducing
impervious surfaces, restoring flood control and storm damage protection
functions, installing native plantings, or by restoring or creating other
wetland resource areas.
The proposed project will nct have an adverse effect on the interests protected by the Bylaw.
(1) The project site will still contain flood waters from Nantucket Sound and from outer
Hyannis Harbor, as the fiber roll arrays are primarily intended to minimize erosion and
damage of the roadway, rather than prevent flooding. (11) The purpose of the project is to
increase the ability of the Coastal Dune to buffer more inland areas, including Barrier Beach
and Great Island Road, from wave damage. (111) The crest elevation of the restored Coastal
Dune will be the same as what existed before the project was built. As such, the project will
not result in an increase in the velocity or elevation of flood waters, nor will it redirect or
increase flows, or cause channelization to adjacent areas. (IV) Fencing is not proposed with
this project. (V) By keeping the fiber rolls covered with sand, the potential for degradation by
UV light will be minimized. However, it is possible that wave action during future storms
could damage the array such that repairs will be needed. Storm damage to the fiber rolls is
not expected to result in damage to adjacent land areas within the flood plain, and all
possible steps will be taken following storms to remove and repair damaged sections of the
array. (VI) Given the porous nature of the fiber rolls and the overlying nourishment material,
pollution of the surrounding area is not expected. (VII) The project site will continue to serve
as wildlife habitat as the proposed project is essentially restoring the Coastal Dune to the
same elevation and dimensions as existed prior to the 2024/2025 winter season. (Vill) The
project is not located near a salt marsh. (IX) The proposed project is intended to restore the
storm damage protective functions of the Coastal Dune through the use of a nature -based
approach.
And shall meet the following requirements;
1. Existing septic system and cesspool repairs will be allowed provided they
meet all Title 5 and local Board of Health thresholds.

ll. All groundwater elevations shall incorporate seasonable adjustments if
test holes and or leaching components are 100 feet or closer from major
estuaries.
Ill. Any proposed deck, shed, or other similar structure must be securely
anchored to a footing or foundation.
IV. Any activity shall preserve existing soils, vegetation, and other natural
conditions that serve as buffers to coastal flooding and storm surges.
The proposed project does not involve changes to septic systems, groundwater elevations,
deck, or sheds. The project proposes to use dune compatible sediments as nourishment over
the fiber rolls, thus preserving natural conditions that serve as a buffer to coastal flooding
and storm surges.
(b) Additional Performance Standards within the V Zone
Within the V Zone, in addition to the general performance standards set forth in
Section 4.10, (3)(a), the following additional performance standards shall apply:
1. No new construction or footprint expansion of any building or other
structure, road, impervious surface, or septic system shall be permitted
Il. No new construction or expansion of any structure that redirects or
channelizes floods including retaining walls, fences, and sea walls shall be
permitted
Ill. With respect to any building or other structure, in the event of any
substantial repair of the foundation, any substantial improvement (as
defined in the state building code), the entire building or structure shall be
elevated at least two (2) feet above the BFE.
N/A — This project does not include new construction or expansion of any building or other
structure within the V Zone.
(c) Additional Performance Standards within the MoWA
Within the MOWA, in addition to the general performance standards set forth in
Section 4.10 (3)(a), the following additional performance standards shall apply:
1. The new construction and footprint expansion of any building or other
structure, road, impervious surface, or septic system shall be permitted,
subject to the other provisions of the Bylaw and Regulations, provided
that any building or occupied structure shall be elevated at least two (2)
feet above the BFE.
Il. No new construction or expansion of any structure that redirects or
channelizes floods including retaining walls, fences, and sea walls shall be
permitted.
