- 19 -
Michelle Tyler Randolph Town Planner Town Hall 41 S Main St, Randolph, MA 02368 INTRODUCTION On September 1, 2019, Ken Thomson, Botanist conducted a wetland delineation on the property located at 16 Fencourt Avenue. It is a 7 acre parcel with a small commercial building (Veteran Center), a large area of lawn dominates the central portion of the property. Woodlands are located along the western and southern portion of the property. Two areas of wetlands were identified. The largest area of wetlands is located along the southern property line and characterized as a red maple swamp. An intermittent stream drains this wetland to the east which flows under Castleton Avenue. The second wetland is located in the northwest portion of the property. It is a wooded swamp but no outlet was found during the delineation and maybe regulated as an Isolated Land Subject to Flooding (ILSF). Massachusetts wetland resources identified during the delineation include:
Bank Bordering Vegetated Wetlands Potential Isolated Land Subject to Flooding
WETLAND DELINEATION Kenneth Thomson (Botanist/Wetland Scientist) identified and delineated wetlands subject to regulatory jurisdiction under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344) or the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, M.G.L., Chapter 131, Section 40. Field work was conducted on September 1, 2019. The predominance of hydrophytic vegetation, evidence of hydric soils, and wetland hydrology were used to define the boundary of vegetated wetlands following the Interim Regional Supplement to the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Northcentral and Northeast Region, January 2012, and the 1995 MA DEP Delineation Manual Guidelines. Pink flags were tied to woody vegetation marking the extent of vegetated wetlands, kt-1a to kt-1i which connects to kt-40 and, kt-100 to kt-113. Wetland Determination Data Forms were completed for plots located up-gradient and down-gradient of wetland flag #kt-6.

EXISTING CONDITIONS The red maple swamp located to the south receives runoff from the west and from several discharge pipes located along Restarick Avenue. These different points of surface water inputs eventually form an intermittent stream which flows under Castleton Avenue. The swamp is dominated by red maple, American elm, swamp dogwood, spicebush, sweet pepperbush, highbush blueberry, winterberry, royal fern and cinnamon fern. Located in the northwest corner of the property is a second area of wooded swamp but this area appears not to have an outlet. It is dominated by red maple and American elm, highbush blueberry, sweet pepperbush, glossy false buckthorn and cinnamon fern. MassGIS OLIVER REVIEW 9/6/2019 MassGIS data maps were reviewed for wetlands, soils, floodplain, outstanding resource waters (ORWs), surface water protection, groundwater protection and Area of Environmental Concern (ACEC) and MA Natural Heritage data. The following data layers are associated with the site under review. Yes No Natural Heritage (Within 500 Feet, ACOE)

WETLAND REGULATORY REVIEW Federal Wetlands The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers regulates the delineated vegetated wetlands and the Canoe River as “Waters of the United States” under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and the Corp’s Massachusetts General Permit Regulations 33 CFR 320-330. Massachusetts Wetland Resource Areas Wetland resource areas on the site are regulated under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (MGL Chapter 131, Section 40) and its Regulations (310 CMR 10.00) as:
Bank Bordering Vegetated Wetlands Potential Isolated Land Subject to Flooding
The performance standards for the onsite regulated resources are; Banks are likely to be significant to public or private water supply, to ground water supply, to flood control, to storm damage prevention, to the prevention of pollution and to the protection of fisheries and wildlife habitat. Bank is defined as the first break in slope. Bordering Vegetated Wetlands on the site are presumed significant to public and private water supply, to groundwater supply, to flood control, to storm damage prevention, to the prevention of pollution, and to the protection of fisheries and wildlife habitat. Isolated Land Subject to Flooding (ILSF) Isolated Land Subject to Flooding is an isolated depression or a closed basin which serves as a ponding area for run-off or high ground water which has risen above the ground surface. Such areas are likely to be locally significant to flood control and storm damage prevention. In addition, where such areas are underlain by pervious material they are likely to be significant to public or private water supply and to ground water supply. Where such areas are underlain by pervious material covered by a mat of organic peat and muck, they are also likely to be significant to the prevention of pollution. Finally, where such areas are vernal pool habitat, they are significant to the protection of wildlife habitat.
