RE: Project Location: 1 Parsonage Point, Yarmouth
Project Description: Elevated Stairway, Landing, Path
DEP Wetlands File No.: 083-2493
NHESP File No.: 25-19721
Heritage Hub Form ID: RC-95443
Dear Applicant:
The Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program of the MA Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (the “Division”)
has received and reviewed revised plans (dated 12/30/2025) for the subject project.
The Division finds that the revised plans do not change our previous determination that this project will not
adversely affect the actual Resource Area Habitat of state-protected rare wildlife species and will not result in a
prohibited Take of state-listed rare species (Division letter dated August 12, 2025) and that previous
determination stands. Issuance of an Order of Conditions approving the project as currently designed is
consistent with the Interests of the WPA strictly related to rare species. A copy of any final Order of Conditions
shall be mailed or hand delivered to the Division simultaneous with sending to the applicant as required
pursuant to 310 CMR 10.05(6)(e)).
We note that all work is subject to the anti-segmentation provisions (321 CMR 10.16) of the MESA. Any activity
not included in the current filing and located within Priority Habitat may require an additional filing with the
Division for review if not otherwise exempt. If no physical work is commenced on the above proposed project
within five years from the date of issuance of our original letter or there is a material change in the plans that
were submitted to the Division, updated information and/or plans must be sent to the Division for review prior
to any work.
Please contact Emily Holt, Endangered Species Review Assistant, at emily.holt@mass.gov with any questions or
comments.
Sincerely,
Jesse Leddick
Assistant Director
