(BSC) is filing this Request for a Certificate of Compliance (RCOC) on behalf of Channel Point LLC (the applicant) for the project at 2 Channel Point Drive, Yarmouth, Massachusetts (the Site). The Order of Conditions (OOC SE 083-2270) was issued on March 5th, 2021 and referenced a plan titled “Plan to Accompany a Notice of Intent” dated 2/25/2021. An OOC extension was issued for the project on 5/6/2024 and the order is therefore valid until 5/6/2027. The approved project is for bank stabilization. This project was undertaken because the bank was experiencing erosion. As part of a previous filing with Yarmouth Conservation, the homeowner was required to perform invasive species management on the coastal bank and planted some native species. The invasive species on the bank were treated and removed. This destabilized some areas on the bank, allowing erosion to occur. This prompted the homeowner to file the NOI in 2021 to stabilize the bank. This work was done by bringing in 6 cy of compatible material over an area of ±854 sf on the bank. This area was then graded to a slope of ~3:1 and then planted with American beachgrass (Ammophila breviligulata) and Carolina rose (Rosa Carolina) to stabilize the bank. A RCOC was submitted back to Yarmouth Conservation back on 10/17/2023, but that request was denied on 11/20/2023 because bare areas on the bank remained. The homeowner complied with the instructions on the denial letter. The silt fence was removed where possible without impacting vegetation. The silt socks were pulled back and repaired. The homeowner has re-planted the bare areas on the bank a second time (see photo pages). BSC visited the Site in September 2025 to inspect the bank. A majority of the bank is vegetated and stable but a few small bare areas still remain. At this point, the homeowner has tried to plant the bank two times over the life of this OOC and would like to close out the permit. This application is being submitted in accordance with the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and the Town of Yarmouth Wetlands Protection By-law. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact our office at 508-778-8919 or by email at PMancuso@BSCGroup.com or MCreighton@BSCGroup.com. Sincerely, BSC Group, Inc.
