6.5.23 Conservation Commission

uh welcome to the Fall River conservation meeting I held a Monday June 5th 2023 5 30 first floor hearing room one government center Fall River Mass consider the following uh notices um my uh who's doing to the open man walls do you have a copy no Just Wing It the best that you can most important thing is public comment yeah uh pursuant to the open-minded laws any person may uh film record any audio is

therefore I advise that will be uh permissible and do uh knowledge um that covers boost okay so all righty um let's see uh roll call sort of urine for this boil here Louis Farr John Brandt Jim Cusick and Vera James Hornsby okay roll call done we also have with us tonight uh Nina Pavo recording secretary and uh Dan aguiar uh conservation agent okay first on the agenda is uh request for certificate of compliance

se-24-765 owner applicants Highland Farms development 2 LLC project locations 245 Fieldstone Lane assessors map is u-04-0059 applicant requesting certificate of compliance stating that all work regulated by water conditions uh have been satisfactory completed table for May 1st meeting so Mr chairman if you recall at the last hearing we had a discussion about tabling this matter which had to do with

the construction of the single family home also on that last agenda was a new filing for the construction of a pool that permit was granted and other conditions was issued this open certificate of compliance will hang open until that Pool Install is done in the final Landscaping is done so I would assume they'd come in with both of those at the same time so I would recommend that this matter be table okay

until the pool is actually constructed we issued another permit under a separate order of conditions thank you yeah all right so can I have a motion to table this to the next meeting a second roll call I I yes okay uh next is a notice of intent is se-24-817 owner applicant is mellow Estates LLC project location 1262 Brighton Ave assessors map is J dash 24-002 followed by Zenith Consulting and

engineer LLC on behalf of applicant the applicant proposes the removal existing Rock outcrop to establish a contractor GI with material storage facility all restoration as proposed within previous Disturbed Riverfront area and buffer zone as well as cleaning of existing drainage wheels and right now subject to massdot approval this was tabled from May 1st 2023 meeting I know we just got this in last week and

we really didn't have much of a chance to look this over no I think I think it'd be great to get a presentation yeah that'll help everybody in their review well I made the motion no one second okay but I'm not pleased because now God having spent a good deal of time I've now got a whole bunch of other papers yeah we understand that we'll listen to the presentation and we'll probably

there's a motion on the table do I have a second on emotion fine that's all right I understand all right motion was rolled how about it all right good evening Jamie Bissonnet Xena Consulting Engineers for the record along with Joseph mellow States um about a month ago we met with the commission uh discussed um a number of items on this presentation I apologize it's a little bit better

um I think that some of the biggest uh points of emphasis that I was getting from the commission and uh city engineer conservation agent was um again um the the points of emphasis were concerned about uh any type of pre-treatment prior to getting into the infiltration basins because of the landscape material type yard materials washing into the infiltration Basin and potentially causing it up and

also there was concern uh regarding the salt storage on site um discussing it with my client we've removed the salt storage operation from this plant altogether so I think the commissioner will probably be pretty satisfied with that move I know that that was uncomfortable I think one of the people that was concerned about it on the other part was um was the treatment like we talked

about so what we did was we added in check dams on the Swale that wrapped around the backsides we also added in four of these as well that provides redundant checks prior to the infiltration based in itself um we also discussed uh doing test pits with the um city engineer present uh we did uh what we found mostly was Urban fill I think there was one out of the five or

six yeah that we found natural material um so again when you're working with Urban Phil uh you try to do the best you can we applied a very low infiltration rate again I know that Dan has to review it and so does the commission but we wanted to present it tonight get it in front of the commission so that they understand what we were trying to attempt to achieve here uh while while proceeding forward

um there was also some dimensional constraints that we were asked to show which we've added on the plan uh dimensioning the distance between the resource areas and the storage bins themselves we also addressed the issue of utilities which was a great Point by the city engineer we've looked into Municipal sewer we've met and talked with Dan along with other previous uh City engineers and and

people in the city regarding where the utilities are located they seem to be quite a bit up the street it's going to be quite the undertaking but that is something that we're proposing to move forward with so we're showing a sewer and water connection with a lifting pump on site um also added we were able to determine with the existing well and tight tank for the septic system are on site so

those have been added to the existing conditions of the plant in the front based on the new drainage test holes what we were able to do was come up with some kind of a configuration for storm water what we're looking to do is treat and detain slow down the rate of the discharge prior to it going out towards the street what we've done is and again we understand the city engineer will have to look it

over but the watershed area has been reduced in size so that and detaining the actual flow with underground detention will help us slow down the rate of flow prior to it getting to the the original discharge Point itself so that should help with any type of off-site flooding that anyone might be concerned with I believe as far as change oh we also added the billboard we sent the survey

crew out and they picked up the full constraints of the billboard overhead projection of it so that has been added I know that was a question that had been asked at one of the meetings so we wanted to make sure that was shown on the plan as well um can you think of any anything else that we needed to discuss off the top of my head I I think that

that was about it Dan I don't know if there's anything in particular that you uh wanted us to discuss you guys want me to go next or do you have more asking questions does anybody else no I do like that you moved back the uh the bins for what almost 43 feet and then 50 yards that was nice yeah we we tried to we tried to make things as as nice as we could we've listened to

the comments and tried to implement as much as we can okay uh okay then you wanna sure so uh again just getting the plans I didn't get them until Friday but that's just because I wasn't in the office on Thursday afternoon I did take a a look at them over the weekend and was able to give you a preliminary report of what what I found to be the outstanding items from what we had previously addressed

um item number one all materials stored within the license area shall be removed immediately the conditions of the license area shall be adhered to completely so that still has not been done that licensed area is still completely full of different types of materials again the drainage analysis is predicated upon substantial infiltration soil evaluations were performed indicating film material in five of the

six test Pips estimated seasonal High groundwater can only be determined in the singular test pit illustrating parent material this groundwater elevation shall be the basis for all storm water design infiltration bmps shall not be constructed in areas of fill so when we're designing infiltration basins it's very important to determine where seasonal High ground water is so in one test bit we were able to observe

that in the others we did encounter weeping which was water coming in from the sides of the hole but this is a relatively dry period almost drought so I would say relying upon any weeping that was encountered in the holes would not be sufficient and that because this is relatively a flat area where all the test pits were performed to the Westerly side the one test fit that did encounter

modeling soil modeling with redox of of the soil should be the governing groundwater elevation that all the designs are based upon that being the case the bottoms of all of these infiltration basins need to be two feet above that that elevation so that's something that I would ask the applicant to look at was there evidence of weed up redox and modeling in the one yes yeah one 48

inches yes okay yeah yeah so that's what that's what they show I mean the whole site was basically what I'm assuming to be the ledge that used to run through Brayton Avenue from legendcroft to the north to the other side and that that's what the site's basically filled in with a lot of you know a lot of big chunks of ledge and some you know some film material in between that being said when you're dealing with

fill material and proposing infiltration um the stormwater management handbook has a bunch of different ways of dealing with film material so if it is determined that we still move forward with that we're going to have to look at that and and determine what comes out what goes back in and what type of an infiltration rate can we adopt I did not look at the drainage calculations did

not have time to do that yet so as Jamie stated if a very conservative rate was assumed for overalls rate I'm assuming that's what the basis was done on that may be acceptable but the groundwater elevation might be the dictating Factor here I I thank you for adding the billboard location but I still have a question regarding the legal access rights for maintenance purposes which I thought and

I didn't have time to dig out that there is an actual easement document that shows the path to get there is that correct so no well there's there's no path there's no okay it's just we have to allow them um within reason time during the day to get there okay so whether between visible working hours we have to allow them to get there that's so that if that means moving one of your bins you have

to move it you understand that yeah yeah okay um the plan references and I'm sure this was just a typographical error the plan references that the site is serviced by Municipal Water and Sewer that's clearly not the case um it's it's serviced by a tight tank and a well yep so you might want to change that you know um illustrate the method of removal of the existing tight tank and is a weld

Runner remain for any reason whether it's for landscaping I mean it's free water are you assuming that you're still going to keep the well we might I mean yeah I'm not sure yet yes okay um uh having to deal with the licensed area I know you did write in what was allowed as being to pass into repass I would ask that you know complete notation of the license with prohibitions also be added

to the plan in a no form somewhere off to the side somewhere okay we know we asked in the past to illustrate all existing and proposed floor drains and where they discharge to and any so that there will be none Italian empty MD's league but the new building will have an MDC trap with a flow drain okay go into the pump out to the sewer system you're not going to show that we will

add that okay okay that's fine uh again proposed construction activity within the licensed area cannot impede access to others that maintain access rights so the addition of Curbing and some grading May impede other landowners from accessing through this licensed area next would be that you're I think you're now proposing a parking area within the licensed area out in front so parking

spaces cannot be within the license area yep that's clear the commission should still discuss the proposed intended site use in what distance from the resource area they deem adequate for meeting performance standards again that's just a general for you guys to have a discussion with what you feel distances should be the commission should discuss the types of material allowed to be stored on site

and how they are to be handled for example the loading and unloading of vehicles with salt should only take place within the proposed building but they've got rid of that so that'll be a benefit the commission should discuss specific buffer zone restoration requirements in addition of what is being proposed shrub plantings at seven foot intervals throughout the area is recommended they

have provided some tree installation areas that you'll see on the uh the Wetland restoration portion of it and maybe Jamie can give a quick presentation on that part of it because that is really the driving force of why this has even started trying to get this area restored please provide all dual locations and finish floor elevations on all sheets I do know that I think it showed up on the existing conditions plan

um but if we can add that to the grading plans sure that might help there were a number of 30 foot tall lamp poles that have been proposed around the material yard as these fall within an area of wildlife significance please provide a lighting detail and photometric plan just showing how the shielding is or when they can be on just some type of a detail of how that's going to happen

provide a method of refuse control such as a screen dumpster is it going to be internal completely will there be an exterior dumpster area okay where will it be and how it's going to be screened to keep trash out of the Wetland area provide a detailed use of each existing and proposed structure so how we label these just as being commercial buildings are they for repair of Machinery are

they for storage of equipment so whatever is going to be in that building it's going to be specific and conditioned as such so get your Christmas wish list out now so that we don't have an issue later okay so that we can deal with that and that was it um so there have definitely been made some substantial changes I think if I remember correctly what's the closest bin like 42 feet from the BBW in the

southwest corner I think it's on the state line site layout plan was it 43. I know I know it was less than than 50 bottom left I think because that's the closest yeah okay yeah and so the others all exceed 50. correct so just so that you understand and Jamie can discuss the restoration part of it so they're they're honoring the 25 foot no activity Zone that also happens to be

the 25 foot Riverfront area so they're killing two birds with one stone there then in between that line and the bins themselves it would basically be lined with different types of stall motor management components then you get into the the actual storage bins of of what would be stored in there and then outside of the 100 foot buffer zone entirely would be the area where Machinery could be

popped to the way you see it on the plan there okay that's all I have to add at this point the board have any questions

okay and I'm concerned with this it's a way on the lake so again it's it's very important so if we schedule a site visit and there are a certain number of members that are there it's considered a public hearing so what I would ask is is that if we want to go in groups of two or three we have seven members now so we can't have four but if we want to go in

groups of two I don't have a problem bringing any of you out there that that you want to go take a quick visit of what's out there so you can let me know and we can get in contact with you own and let them know when we're done something I would like to add as well um if you remember maybe two months ago we have reported that there was some import of film material from the asphalt

grindings from Route 79 those have been removed and I thank Joe for getting rid of those on so we had a sidewalk there on Friday and they were gone before the meeting on Friday so what's the typical size of uh the bins um we have two sizes one is 15 by 15 the other is 30 by 30. the majority of the bins are 15 by 15. and do you know what

you're going to be storing in them mulch Sandstone typical landscape materials no shells no shelves yeah the only concern I have when we started to discuss at the last meeting was the fuel storage aspect of that yeah I don't see it anywhere that's not there because we're not sure what size tank we're going to use so until I purchased the one that I need I can't put it on there well don't purchase it yet yeah

exactly proximity with fuel storage on that site you know I think containment systems things like that sure how's that we need some more details wasn't that noted in the new I think you said 110 I had a second container I haven't looked at them yeah I just went through it I just told you um I I don't think we referenced the fuel a fuel tank in the in the updated yes yeah okay

and then the only other thing we needed to discuss was the relocation of the bins and into the um remember from from our sidewalk on Friday oh from the storage area yeah you're supposed to send me a sketch about that and I didn't get it so so we're not going to discuss that tonight okay

motion to uh table this or we can review for the next meeting second all right all right all right yes and if you guys want to schedule a time just to come in and go over these outstanding comments just to try and rather than going back and forth with plans and comments just give me a call we'll schedule all the time yeah we'll set something up for maybe next week very good okay okay yeah okay

well it's definitely an improvement we thank you for for making that up yep I just don't really understand sure we'd be happy to show you yep I understand all right thank you I'll see you we'll see you in a month and I'll see you before yeah give me a call before as soon as soon enough sooner than later would be better yep all right thank you any comments from the audience before we

anybody in favor anybody opposed no interest of this one all right let it roll all right next is request for certificate of compliance se-24-788 owner applicants Highland Farms development 2 LLC project locations 164 Fieldstone Lane Justice map is u-04-0069 file by civil and environmental consultant Inc on behalf applicant the applicant is requesting the certificate of compliance with exception

a final long development on this Slide the work authorizes has been completed in substantial compliance with the order condition this was tabled from May 1st 2023. is there anybody here for that one Mr chairman I can add that as with the last hearing this was Apostle that had not received its final Lowman seating and during an inspection we saw that there were some stockpiles uh patio

pavers to have a patio installed so we did reach out to the owner they are putting together a modification or an amendment to the original water conditions so that those papers can be installed so I would recommend that we table this and allow them to file an amended order all right so on this matter could I have motion to table second okay all right all right yes see next is a notice of intent

se-24-821 owner applicant is Allison Bernard project location is 30 Brookfield Terrace assessors map is u-04-0063 filed by Zenith Consulting engineer LLC on behalf of applicant after the fact about filing for a pool that was installed with Associated deck patio grading and utilities the applicant also poses to install fencing on the side and rear of the property along with planting of a

few trees and closed under an existing Deck with a lattice is anybody here for if nobody's here for this I know Jamie's representing them so I'm thinking he's just talking so maybe we want to table this until he gets back okay but later in the evening or if nobody's here to speak on it promotionally table list for later on in the meeting a second okay okay next is a request for determination on accessibility

182 owner applicant is TC Associates project location is mass Coastal railroad right-of-ways accessories map n a filed by Tech Associates requesting to determine whether the boundaries of resource areas depicted on the plans and the maps referenced or actually delineated no work as proposed within the Wetland resource area vegetation control will conform to the guidelines set forth in a mass

right-of-way management regulations 333 camr 11.0 and approved by a vegetation management plan in VMP so commission members as you know um this comes before you every few years when they want to get out there the applicant called just a few hours ago asking to table if they had an emergency and could not make it so it was table this to the July meeting please so you can have motion table list till July hi hi Jim

um hi yes okay next is a notice of intent number don't have it yet don't have it yet owner applicant is 631 and 56 airport owner LLC project location 631 Airport Road assist with map is z-03-006 followed by Lucas environmental LLC on behalf of African proposed location project consists of construction of a warehouse building parking area assess driveways utilities storm water management structure within

100 foot buffer zone to bordering vegetative wetlands thank you Jamie just so that you know we bumped you off one because you were still out there so we'll take you up next thank you foreign

Associates I am the sites that one here on the project here with Tom Liddy of Lucas environmental who's the Wetland scientist that prepared and filed the notice of intent in front of you this evening uh just a brief overview of the project uh the address is 631 the Airport Road it piles the Fall River Industrial Park there's an existing Warehouse building that's about 280 000 square feet

and it's Associated loading docks on both the airport roadside and Sykes roadside uh those that existing Warehouse is going to be remaining uh there's no expansion to that no renovations to that that's just going to stay as is the proposed Warehouse building is located on the south side of the site North is This Way South is that way East and West the property is bound by existing

industrial developments and is a coin a lot from Sykes Road in the airport road the proposed Warehouse building we're proposing 120 000 square foot Warehouse building with about 3 000 square foot office appendage to the to the east side of these proposed Warehouse building we also propose some trailer storage areas in this location in this location and then employee and business parking both on

east side and the west side of the proposed 120 000 square foot building what you can see here is we also have some employee parking that's going to be shared between the proposed Warehouse building and the existing Warehouse building uh and all the existing curb cuts are going to remain as is we're not proposing any modifications to the existing curb Cuts we are proposing some directional changes from a traffic

perspective but the widths and the layout of the each curb cut is staying the same uh as is having as it exists today uh where from a overall perspective uh where it's there's a 100 foot buffers on and there's 25 foot no disturb uh area on site and I'll let Tom Liddy kind of get into the details of the Wetland systems and there's three of them on site currently uh being then help turn over

the floor back to me and I can go over some of the storm water management improvements that we're we're proposing as part of the project I don't even most of these guys can share yeah foreign

scientist from Lucas environmental we were retaining to delineate Wetland resource areas on the property um we did back in 2020 um and just to give you some orientation uh here's Airport Road along this side this is North is facing sobriety and sex Boulevard is uh down below here we have three Wetland systems three bordering vegetative Wetlands there's uh identified in the notice of intent Wetland a here

which drains down to the South Wetland B which is another ordering vegetative Wetland uh creating this way and Wetland sea which originates at a drainage of fall and heads this way and off property the site does not have any flood plain there's no rare species or estimated priority habitat there's no perennial streams the 100 foot buffer zone is depicted here in this black dash line line

we also put the 25 foot no Touchstone under existing conditions that the portion of the 25 foot uh no disturb zone is already paved however on a project-wide basis we're able to come away with approximately 200 square foot reduction of impervious within the 25 foot and then within the 100 foot bumper Zone as a whole across the entire site we were able to come away with a 500 square

foot reduction in impervious the bulk of that it takes place down by Wetland a um this is a large Wetland system and it's paved nearly up to the Wetland Edge in some spots there so we were able to pull that back and install and convert that to like some of the stormwater vnps if you go out there there are a couple of drainage squales along the roadway we didn't identify them as Warren

vegetative Wetland because they were constructed and as far part of integral to the existing stormwater system which primarily consists of over land flow or we'll get into that but there's some catch basins which dump out into a rip wraps well and um as far as Wetlands goes it's pretty straightforward where we turn it over for a description on the stormwater system which is a total overall

so just to describe in a little bit more detail the the existing Cape within the buffer zones um so this is a large existing pavement area within the Barber Zone approximately 18 000 square feet uh and as Tom was mentioning this existing pavement basically sheet flows it's unmitigated it's unretreated it doesn't meet the storm water management policies currently uh so basically this

Wetland system is receiving all this acreage and it's all the land flow sheet flow what they refer to as sheet flow right into which is obviously a low spawn over here the other area within with impervious service within the 100 foot buffer is a portion of the existing building cool enough uh and then there's a small broken up pavement area along the side of the existing building uh and then as

Tom was mentioning we also have a 25 foot no disturb area associated with all three Wetland systems we're actually removing if you kind of go to the second page I think the third page of the handout there uh as Tom was mentioning we're removing a total of 600 square feet of pavement within the 100 foot buffer zone I mean within the 2.5 foot buffer zone uh sorry about 200 square feet decrease within

the 25 foot no disturb so we're basically removing all the pavement within the 25 foot no disturb buffer uh that exists today uh from 100 foot buffer zone perspective there's about 33 000 square feet of existing pavement within the 100 foot buffer zone you see 32 2008 for a net decrease of 500 square feet uh for within the of pavement within the 100 foot buffer zone uh I don't know if there's any questions

regarding the kind of the hernia services and what we're doing within uh from a buffer zone perspective uh from a layoff perspective we are constructing a one-way egress Road along the side of the existing building just from a circulation perspective describe that so right now there's some broken up pavement within this area of the side side of the existing building we're planning on re-grading that there

is an existing catch Basin with a drainage outfall that goes to this Wetlands finger associated with I think it's c yeah we're removing that catch Basin inflated end section so that is work within the 25 foot node Disturbed buffer zone but it's restoration work it's removing the drainage because it's only going to catch Basin that directly discharges to the Wetland system uh so it's part of

our proposed drainage system in egress we felt these shared employee parking area between the existing building and the proposed Warehouse building we would allow them to egress off the airport road it's a one-way egress Road only uh the reason why it's one way is both the truck turning and safety sight line distances off to Airport Road really doesn't work out a truck couldn't turn

make that turn into the road uh and then we wanted to stay outside the 25 foot no disturbava with the pavement as well so that's kind of the reason why this turned into a one-way egress Road only uh like I said there's trail of storage uh and then I'll kind of quickly do an open view of the storm water management components so right now there is no treatment system there's no basins there's very

limited closed Drainage Systems uh on site existing uh what we propose is three open conventional storm water basins what we refer to as wet basins is a system on the east side the southeast side the southwest side will be development in the northwest side those all three of those conventional open basins are what we refer to as a wet Basin that has a permanent pool per se so it has standing water in the in there

and it promotes uh not only the treatment required by the storm water policy uh because as part of a web base and you need two times the water quality volume than a typical Basin would require so that's what the reason why these got turned into wet basins we were originally thinking of them as infiltration basins conventional infiltration basins we hit ledge out there and our estimated to see some high

ground water is very high as well so that we took advantage of that and kind of rethought the whole stormwater management process for the proposed development program it turned all three of these bases into what I refer to as wet basins and I've got some photos of typical weapons and the other component that meets a storm water management is a subsurface infiltration system just located east of the proposed uh office

in Warehouse building it's underneath the proposed and visitor employee parking field uh and it has an outlet and we've done the Watershed analysis we have five points of analysis on site uh existing that we did a comparison pre-conditions under the three four stolen events the 210 25 and 100 Year storm events and then post-development condition for all those five in summary these the Five Points of analysis is one

on the Southeast side the South the Southwest the West in the northwest side these are some typical photos of a job we just finished in Shrewsbury Mass of a wet Basin uh as you can see here it's it's it's from uh from a habitat perspective it's better than a dry infiltration Basin that drains down uh during the course of this has taken about a year and a half after it was

constructed and as you can see here it has the permanent pool within the Basin uh and it promotes the habitat and the vegetation growth along the water line as well uh being a wet Basin we do have to enclose it with a fence from a safety perspective so it has access gates and whatnot this is a typical photo of a corrugated metal pipe infiltration system that we're proposing on the east

side of the office and Warehouse building and as I was mentioning there is no treatment under the existing conditions currently under the proposed conditions we do have our treatment train what I refer to as a treatment train we have D puts and sumps on all about proposed catch basins then we go to what they refer to as a water quality unit it's a CBS unit or they're equal that gets us out of pre-treatment prior

to going into any of the basins uh we require 44 total suspended solids removal rate prior to going into an infiltration basin I.E the infiltration phase and the recharge that we're getting is all within the subsurface infiltration field none within the wet basins uh for the site uh we're decreasing Peak not only Peak flows but volumes as well under all four stone but that's the two 10 and 25 and 100 Year storms for

instance under the 100 Year storm event we're decreasing by 33 at that point and then 44 and 63 12 and 6.

and that's basically a summary of the overall storm water management we do have uh as part of our submittal package we do have an erosion control plan we have a storm water pollution prevention plan as part of that stormwater report uh we're going to need a Construction general permit from the EPA because we're disturbing more than 100 more than an acre of land uh that's why we included the storm water pollution

prevention plan uh that has to be filed 48 hours in advance of construction with the EPA that's an EPA jurisdictional Department other than that uh I think it's pretty straightforward I think the the benefits are is we're treating currently untreated storm water going to the Wetland systems particularly system a uh borderly vegetative system a uh in the proposed um if I could just make a few comments

uh the first one overview the wetlands line the documentation submitted was very very well done I agree with all of the wetlands line the only issue I had with the line itself is that the fee was not submitted for the approval of the line so we're going to hit you up for a check on it but the line itself fine absolutely fine the project itself I think it's good for you to all

understanding this is the lighterlead building right now part of this project is also the removal of the wind turbine so the wind turbine Falls just about in the location of where uh the new parking area is just to give you an idea of where you are in the world so the industrial park itself as you drive through you you see on all the sides of the roads is that massive swell

system so when the pot was designed it was intended for these properties to be developed and it was the charge of the developers to discharge their storm water into these swings didn't have to treat them just put it in the Swale the system itself was designed to accommodate development problem with this site is the site is downhill from the swell so we can't get water to run uphill into the swales so now because

we're discharging to a wetland that's the need for all of these different storm water management vmps and Design the project itself the proposed building falls just outside of the 100 foot buffer zone as you see how they've got it delineated there so there are really only a few locations of where the proposed asphalt parking areas and driveways Falls within the 100 foot buffer zone as they've stated they've

met and maintained the 25-foot no activity Zone which was great to see the to see that effort they've instituted the construction of retaining walls to also limit that expanse so on the exit out only uh we'll be lined with the retaining wall to maintain the 25 foot no activity Zone if they had not done the wall then the grading would have brought them down into the 25 foot so they're taking the the effort of

installing these walls to limit the footprint of the project itself um other than that I I have no issues with it I I would offer that a special condition and we do this often is that a condition of approval is pending uh site plan review approval so not only do I review this for drainage uh the Department of Community utilities also does as well as the stormwater management so no no issues at all with a

order conditions being granted with I would ask that one special condition that it be subject to approval from the second Review Committee and also no address comments from dep as we have no file numbers so with those very special conditions the Project's very well done it does it looks like a lot when you're standing on the ground of course on paper it doesn't do it justice but it's a it's a

good project there that they've cut no corners with any of the stormwater management design they're spending some some serious money out here to construct this so that would be my recommendation can I just have a quick question so with using the wet basins well the same amount of water event because this I believe this area in these Wetland areas feeds steep Rock which is a perennial stream um down gradient so

well the same amount of water be room by be moving through the wetlands the question is you're not drying up the well no no I know no I know that you're not drying at the Wells but just by the will the same amount of water be moving off the site but yes seems to be better quality yes it's it's the the wet basins is more from a water quality perspective because what it is the permanent pools

so you have an outlet structure and you have a low flow orifice or a rectangular wear or whatever you your low flow Outlet device is uh below that is what's considered the permanent pool and that has to be two times the water quality volume required by the storm water policy that's the permanent pool that that gets you you water quality then the rest functions like a regular Basin and allows discharge above that

for the four different storm events analyzed and something to think about just not necessarily on this project but when you have a wet Basin so we've got a lot of asphalt here the water that hits that heats up relatively quickly when it hits this Pond although the you know the temperature is increased and the pond because that's sitting in the sun but it definitely does decrease the

the temperature in the water as well and if you have concerns about steep brook or any Wildlife that happens in there this does provide some coolant for the water yeah any other questions from the board anyone in the audience have any questions okay so I can I have a motion issue an order of conditions with special conditions tied to with the stormwater management system calculation be approved by the

city of Fall River and a site plan review committee approved and the filing number from dep with no adverse comments with no address or comments and and the fee for the wild donation and fee so moved second roll call I all right all right all right thank you thank you and we don't care if you send dep to this yet thank you thank you thank you very much chairman if we want to take uh 30 Brookfield

oh

thank you as well

okay uh let's see okay notice of intent is se-24-821 owner applicant is Allison Bernard 30 Brookfield Terrace assessors map is u-04-0063 filed by Zenith consultant engineer LLC on behalf of the applicant after the fact filing for a pool that was installed with associate deck patio braiding and utilities that can also propose to install fencing on the rear side rear of the property along with

planning of a few trees and closing onto the existing Deck with lattice good evening Jamie listen at Zenith Consulting Engineers for the record um uh exactly what the chairman said we're here for uh and after the fact filing the pool if you've been by the site the pool has been constructed so is the deck uh the grading the site is actually um from the time I was out there about a month and a half ago semi-stabilized

it's probably grass has probably come to much better now um the applicant once they were informed that they needed to file I did reach out to us we we did file promptly after the survey was completed with meeting with the client out on site they did want to uh enclose the backyard with the fence and put in some improvements which have been added to this plan of the notice a couple of trees

um I believe one may be outside of the buffer zone tour within have been proposed one on the north side of the property just north side of the house and then two to the south of the house um overall she's looking to be able to enclose the yard for uh for her grandkids for safety she says that in the Backwoods behind there they've had some Wildlife people and coyotes Etc so

she's just she wants to enclose the yard and make sure that they can use the yard and her not have to worry that much um so I'd be happy to try to address and one thing was uh I think we labeled it on the plan uh she's looking for a chain link fence in the rear and then up in the front is going to be more like a vinyl style fence for aesthetic purposes from the street

Dan yep uh Mr chairman if I could add again this is and after the fact filing for which an enforcement order was issued I do recommend the issuance of an order of conditions upon receipt or a revised plan addressing the following all proposed fencing should be installed no closer than 10 feet from the bordering vegetated Wetland the existing Wetland sided shall be moved to the new fence

all pool and pool equipment discharge shall be directed to a three foot by three foot by three foot crushed stone backwash pit all pool equipment and backwash pit shall be located no closer than 25 feet from the bordering vegetated wetland I'm assuming that there is no grading being proposed there is none um and then I would just ask that the applicant provide lock coverage calculation

including all impervious surfaces as you know this was this was probably the first one out there um and again as I have stated over time Mrs Bernard was in constant contact with us she did have a very difficult time um acquiring the services of a consultant so I'm very thankful that she ultimately found Jamie and he was able to put this together and hopefully put this project to bed

as you'll see on the on the plan itself the location of the pool itself um is is in keeping with what we've permitted in the past actually it's it's actually better because the Wetland itself falls off of the property and and so that that's been pulled back the only concern I had was as we head north that as the Wetland comes closer that we should pull that chain link

fence to be a distance of 10 feet off that's all gives room to dump grass like as of right now you don't have anything into the wetlands but no other than that I have no issues with the and I'm I'm thankful that finally getting resolved yeah yeah the board have any questions anybody in the audience have any questions okay so can I have a motion to issue an order of conditions so with the following uh

items enclosed all-purpose fencing should be installed no closer than 10 feet from the bordering vegetative Wetland excess existing Wayland signage shall be moved to the new fence all pool and pool equipment discharge shall be directed to a three by three by three crushed stone backwash pit all pool equipment and backwash pit shall be located no closer than 25 feet from the bordering vegetated wetland

and assumed that no great oh that's that's that's that's the motion okay hi hi hi yes hi all right okay okay all right thank you thank you so you know the 25 foot thing is just the standard conditions for pools I don't know where it is here so hopefully it is 25 feet then that'll be great but I'm not sure okay but it doesn't have a discharge my understanding is okay great thank you thank you okay

the next uh notice of intent no file number the owner applicant is Antonio Almeda uh 38 judge Street Assessor's map is y-09-0010 uh filed by the owner for property proposing construction of an additional to a single family house uh but the applicant did not advertise so a motion to uh table till July is anybody here for this oh are you into butter yeah so part of all of this process is the applicants required to

put a notice in the newspaper alerting the general public they did not do that so because of that we can't open up the hearing what's that the notice that we received was regarding dredging of the water the Beach line had nothing to do with the house I don't know what letter they sent you but no they're they're proposing in addition to the house so maybe so maybe they can maybe they

can submit a new uh a bunch of notifications as well great to be here though I've learned a lot the check mark all the neighbors oh so that is so it's not specific so they have two boxes to check one they're either seeking approval of a delineate delineation while that box is just checking that they're subject to the wetlands protection act so that's just general language in the law that says

they're proposing to do one of these things okay um so when you get down to item C the address of the lot where the activity or boundary delineation is proposed 38 judge Street the construction of an addition to a single-family home house within the 100 foot buffer zone so they are not touching the beach this is only in addition to the house to the July meeting now that being said

right now the July meeting is scheduled for July 3rd that is most most likely going to be changed at the end of tonight to July 10th um but if you want to leave a number or you can hang on for a couple of minutes but no no okay awesome thank you so that you have it thanks

table that solo second hi hi hi yes hi okay next is a notice of intent uh no file number yet on our applicant's 52 Ferry LLC project location to 52 Ferry Street since this map is n-14-005 filed by applicant African proposals of construction of 96 slip marinas and a full service yard for vessels ranging 24 to 60 feet from transit dockage to public fishing pier and walkway the owner asked us to table this till July

um so commission members the applicant called earlier today and had a death in the family and he would like to be present to present the uh to petition so we would recommend that at the applicants request a table

I was uh um just gonna listen all right let's see next is uh notice of intent se-24-818 Weaver Cove Industrial Park LLC Shell Oil Products U.S aquiling enterprise LLC project location one new Street um01 filed by software Consulting income behalf applicant so if I'm Consulting unit and a subcontract for commence a removal action on behalf of Shell Oil Enterprise for the purpose of removal

removal action is to address high levels of lead and soil and a 10 000 square foot area near the Totten River how about okay uh good evening my name is Rachel Leary I'm the engineer at LSP for the project this is uh my colleague Phil Villeneuve he's the project manager for the project um just a quick summary and not to get to many acronyms in there but um so under the Massachusetts contingency plan

um we are been working on half a Shell Oil to remediate the site one of the impacts is this led in a former um oil water separator area and we cannot close the property when leaving the levels of lead in the ground that are there so um the best way to get rid of that for this property is to dig it up it there is a slice of it that is within the 25

foot riverfoot area which is why we're here if I could ask just a couple of questions do you have an anticipated depth of the excavation yes um and I think it might be hard to see it but maybe it was very hard to see yeah and that's the color so basically yeah well that I've had that problem today too the um it does vary so it's targeted between um mostly impacts between three and then

the deepest is 18 feet okay so that's why there's Shoring involved in the project but there is it's varied so some places we're gonna go to 10 12 you know this area was all pre-delineated by AECOM under different order conditions over like the last so um and since you mentioned it was one of one of my questions the narrative references sheet piling where will that be installed because I didn't see that

on a plan okay so on the entire perimeter or just the water side it's going to be actually isolating areas in three chunks based on where the excavations are but the priority for us there's not a lot of structural um Integrity to the soil out there because it's all filled so it's protecting the water side and then there are some um utility and facility structures that are still on site there's an old old

wire separator that is part of the uh to protect that on behalf of the property owner okay so so it's just to protect the sites a little bit Yeah and we and also just because from the geotechnical engineer we're going to do it on all four sides in each excavation area because there's just no structure to the soil so it's more of a safety concern so I'm assuming dewatering will be required

to be going to Adaptive 18 feet and I saw on um I know we've had emails that have gone back and forth with Paul did he finally say it's okay to discharge to the storm drain or no no so he was coming back I believe today today yeah so um I I think made a bunch of emails back and forth so um but we have not book on that process

yet so Rachel's been reaching out to my office as well as Paul ferlands because he governs this about discharging when they dewater it'll go through a containment tank and get treated and then the idea is to be able to put it into the storm water outfall Paul has to give that permission so just make that a condition of approval that we receive a letter from him stating such and only because I pick the uh I think

it was delineated a 200 foot Riverfront it's only 25 feet so it makes it easier for you I actually talked about yeah the 25 foot Riverfront area that might have a roach control plan was out of date sorry and then will there be someone on site full-time as far as environmental so there'll be a minimum of one to two people from Sovereign on the site at all times as well as the construction crew

okay that's all I have it'd be great to get this cleaned up yeah oh I know curious uh groundwater dewater treatment do you know what uh consists of uh yeah so um there's a treatment train that will be including basic filtration um there is we do expect to have oily water so there'll be some oil treatment and there will also be um flocking of the any heavy metals that are in suspended in the water to become

solid and drop out um what is that additive this is using a resin and I actually think that the treatment transfer but it's a resin flow through okay that is so so it's everything's portable that's coming in a groundwater treatment Technologies is the subcontractor in that so they're very reliable for us oh and then lastly um does the um does the whale or check them or whatever we call it does that remain in

place after or does that come out um our plan is that for us to all come out okay yeah so basically temporary impacts and restore to existing conditions question for Dan then is that Paul's um Arena to if he's gonna mandate any particular sampling yes yeah I mean he'll you know if there's something for him to have that level of comfort that would be up to him to allow that to happen if

not okay we would have to deal with dewatering in a different yeah and we've also the projects is also subject to a remediation General permit under the EPA and that has also been filed and that has the um based on our existing groundwater conditions has a parameter list of required standards to meet well it won't be the option if Paul said no if Paul said no curiosity um we would have to go to the property

owner and see if we could use his Alpha okay interesting okay he's a nifty's permit yes yes it's no longer rgp it's drgp now any questions from the board you have all you have everything yeah and green card all right so it's gonna have a motion order conditions with a uh subject to a letter from Paul Ferlin on this supposing of treated water ocean a second okay all right thanks yes all right

what's that great thank you sorry to make you wait so long that's okay but thank goodness a bunch of them good tables hoping to get home before the sun goes down thank you next is a notice of intent file number owner after this Carla Diego 14 Brookfield Terrace census map is 4-064 swabbed by Northeast engineer and consultant on behalf of applicant the applicant is proposing to install a shed

on the northwest corner of the property all the proposed work is located within 100 foot buffer zone of uh bordering vegetative wetland here so it appears that the applicant or their consultant are not here um the board can either take it upon themselves to Grant the northern conditions for the construction of the shed or table the matter that's that's up to you now the only thing we noticed on the back page

it's not there is no pull proposed on the plane so I think what happened was so this was Jeff Tallman from Northeast consultants if you remember he's the one that had just filed the pool for 245 Fieldstone so I'm assuming use the same document and just change things but did not change the drawing document and title so it's up to you how you want to handle it although sorry no we don't have green

cards all legal ads so you can't act on it so all right motion table till July potato motion table a second uh we'll call aye aye aye yes okay all right all right uh next is a next is a notice of intent se-24-822 Commonwealth of Mass Department of Fish and Game city of Fall River Project location is zero Sheridan Street such as map is e-25-0049 by by LEC environmental on behalf of the applicant proposed project

includes upgrading existing storm water drainage infrastructure to increase functionality and improve the water quality in south of Tampa but they did not advertise so great project with great intent but we would love to implement and have constructed right away but they did not advertise correctly and Nina and I discussed this and and this happens often it's clearly in the conservation commission's

checklist for filing a notice of intent what the procedures and policies are and we reach out continuously through the process to alert them to the fact I don't understand why this keeps happening um I know it's not we're not peculiar that we're the only commission that requires the applicant to place an ad because there are many that do and they exhibit the same I mean permitting things throughout the Commonwealth I

would often go to hearings and see oh they didn't know they needed to bring Green Cuts they didn't know they had to place their own ad and these things do happen so we're gonna we're gonna try again to uh to employ these applicants to follow through with what's on the checklist I think we may require that they submit the checklist maybe with an acknowledgment so that they understand

at the time of submittal that these are the criteria okay so can I have a motion to table it's not just a comment I think some of this is because no one reads and reads the paper anymore um you know I used to actually skim these ads sure but I don't do that now yeah um it's still online but yeah come on I'm on phone at eight o'clock in the morning

um your eyes are good enough to see that phone I think we need to read this for the 20 the 21st century well it's not for us that's the wellness protection act rule that's not the fall of a Conservation Commission they have to place a legal ad has to be placed whether we place it or the applicant places it it needs to be placed that that's the law well let's talk about it

when we do the bylaws but I think there's nothing we can do which are telling you stuff well the only thing that we could do is that like we do for other boards is that we could please place the ads and then chase the applicant for the fee or charge them a flat fee that comfortably covers what the advertisement would be and we could place the ads ourselves like a lot of

other commissions do but we can discuss that okay that's okay so motion the table secondly okay roll call aye all right hi well yes all right okay okay so second second okay thank you Paul and I haven't received a correspondence review and discussion of mcrr 2023 yearly operational plan and then uh 10 was receipt of correspondent review and discussion of National Grids five-year vegetation management plan uh
