APPROVE AFTER THE FACT:Retain 8,375 sq. ft. of fill in wetland in two locations for the expansion of the 4th and 7th fairways for an existing 1$-hole golf courseon 28$ acres. This work is part of the overall development of the golf course covered under Wetlands Permit #1998-00539.Compensatory mitigation consists of preservation in a conservation easement, to be held by the City of Somersworth, of 19.04 acres(4.25 acres of wetlands, and 14.79 acres of uplands).

With Conditions:1. All work shall be in accordance with plans by Connecticut Valley Environmental Services, Inc. dated June 17, 2015 as receivedby the NH Department of Environmental Services (DES) on August 3, 2015.2. There shall be no further alteration of wetlands for lot development, driveways, culverts, or for septic setback.3. Any further alteration of areas on this property that are subject to RSA 482-A jurisdiction will require a new application andfurther permitting.

Wetland preservation:1. This approval is not valid until the app1icant/owier executes and records the conservation easement on 19.04 acres as depicted onplans titled Salmon Falls Conservation Parcel, Sheet 6 of 6, prepared by Connecticut Valley Environmental Services, Inc. andreceived by DES on December 14, 2015.2. The conservation easements to be placed on the preservation areas shall be written to run with the land, and both existing andfuture property owners shall be subject to this easement.3. The plan noting the conservation easement with a copy of the final easement language shall be recorded with the StraffordRegistry of Deeds Office for each appropriate lot that is subject to the easement. The pennittee shall submit a copy of the recordingfrom the Strafford County Registry of Deeds to the DES Wetlands Program.4.

Decision Report 3 02/16/2016For Actions Taken 02/08/20 16 to 02/14/20 16

With Findings:I. This is a major impact project per Administrative Rule Env-Wt 303.02(c) and (1), projects that involve alteration of non-tidal

wetlands in excess of 20,000 sq. ft. in the aggregate and projects which, when taken in the aggregate with previous work on the

property within the last 5 years, would be considered major. The applicant completed this unauthorized fill in wetlands in or around

February 2008 which was within 5 years of construction of the golf course and after expiration of DES Wetlands Permit

#1998-00539.2. The DES issued Letter of Deficiency, WET 08-005, on March 10, 2008 for the unauthorized fill in wetlands for the 4th and 7th

fairways and impact within conservation areas on the property. Impacts to the conservation areas are restored. 3. The need for the

proposed wetland impacts has been demonstrated by the applicant per Env-Wt 302.01. The applicant has demonstrated that 8,375

square feet of additional fill within forested wetlands is necessary to improve the playability of golf holes #4 and #7.

4. The applicant has provided evidence which demonstrates that this proposal is the alternative with the least adverse impact to areas

and environments under the department’s jurisdiction per Env-Wt 302.03. The applicant has demonstrated that the wetlands filled are

along the edge of the wetland systems.5. Pursuant to Env-Wt 302.03, the applicant has further mitigated for the impacts by placing 19.04 acres (4.25 acres of wetlands and

14.79 acres of uplands) in a conservation easement to beheld by the City of Sornersworth.

6. The applicant has demonstrated by plan and example that each factor listed in Env-Wt 302.04(a), Requirements for Application

Evaluation, has been considered in the design of the project.7. There were no species of concern reported for the project vicinity by the NH Natural Heritage Bureau.

8. The Somersworth Conservation Commission did not oppose the application.

9. In accordance with RSA 428-A:8, DES finds that the requirements for a public hearing do not apply as the permitted project is

not of substantial public interest, and will not have a significant impact on or adversely affect the values of the resource, as identified

under RSA 482-A: 1.

The applicant shall retain a qualified professional to conduct an inspection and prepare a report of the site by November 1, 2016to determine if any impact to the elevation of the marsh or introduction of invasive species have occurred since project completion.The report shall be submitted to DES and the City of Portsmouth Conservation Commission by December 1, 2016,4. Restoration of temporary impact areas shall not be considered successful if sites are invaded by nuisance species such as


phragrnites during the first full growing season following the completion of construction. The permittee shall submit a rernediation

plan to DES and the City of Portsmouth Conservation Commission that proposes measures to be taken to eradicate nuisance species

during this same period.5. Any further alteration of areas on this property that are subject to RSA 482-A jurisdiction will reqtlire a new application and

further pennitting.

With Findings:1. This is a major project pursuant to Env-Wt 303.02(0, projects in or adjacent to designated prime wetlands.

2. The need for the proposed impacts has been demonstrated by the applicant per Env-Wt 302.01. The utility pole was failing and

needed to be replaced.3. The applicant has provided evidence which demonstrates that this proposal is the alternative with the least adverse impact to areas

and enviromnents under the department’s jurisdiction per Env-Wt 302.03. The work is limited to temporary impact for access for

replacement of one pole within the same general footprint.4. The applicant has demonstrated by plan and example that each factor listed in Env-Wt 302.04(b) Requirements for Application

Evaluation, has been considered in the design of the project, as well at the criteria for approval for projects in or adjacent to prime

wetlands pursuant to Env-Wt 703.01.5. Portsmouth Prime Wetlands 61A was designated with primary functions of the largest saltmarsh wetland in Portsmouth at 120

acres, rare plant species habitat, and critical fisheries habitat.6. The applicant has demonstrated that the project represents temporary disturbance for necessary repair and replacement of a public

utility electricity transmission pole, and that the project it will not affect the size of Prime Wetland 61A or any of its primary

functions.7. Pursuant to Env-Wt 302.03, the applicant has further mitigated for the impacts by making a payment to the Aquatic Resource

Mitigation(”ARM”) fund of Si ,390.27.8. The NH Heritage Bureau (“NHB”) has record of several natural communities and state-endangered plant species present in the

project vicinity. The applicant coordinated with NHB and N}13 does not expect impacts to the natural communities and

state-endangered plant species by the project.9. The Portsmouth Conservation Commission has reviewed, and recommends approval of the project, per statement received by

DES on November 17, 2015. The recommendation came with the stipulation that by the end of November 2016, an inspection of the

site be completed to determine if any impact to the elevation of the marsh or introduction of invasive species have occurred since

project completion.10. Based on findings #1-9 above, there is clear and convincing evidence this proposal will have no significant loss of values to the

prime wetlands as set forth in RSA 482-A: 1. and the project meets the criteria set forth in Rule Env-Wt 703.01 Criteria for Approval.

With findings:1. This is a Minor Project per Administrative Rule Env-Wt 303.03 (h) Projects involving less than 20,000 square feet of alterationin the aggregate in nontidal wetlands, nontidal surface waters, or banks adjacent to nontidal surface waters which exceed the criteriaof Env-Wt 303.04(f).2. The need for the proposed impacts has been demonstrated by the applicant per Rule Env-Wt 302.01.3. The applicant has provided evidence which demonstrates that this proposal is the alternative with the least adverse impact to

areas and environments under the department’s jurisdiction per Rule Env-Wt 302.03.4. The applicant has demonstrated by plan and example that each factor listed in Rule Env-Wt 302.04 Requirements forApplication Evaluation, has been considered in the design of the project.5. The proposed intermittent stream crossing is sized to acconmodate the 50 year flood frequency. 6. The property is 815.6acres. The applicant proposes a 22 Lot subdivision (19 residential; 3 open space) with 141 acres in an existing conservation

easement and residential lots ranging from 26-68 acres.7. four vernal pools were identified on the site. None of the vernal pools will be directly impacted by the proposed development.

The area surrounding the vernal pools is to remain vegetated. A 50 foot no cut buffer around vernal pool 2 will be maintained and is

shown on the subdivision plans. 8.No comments were submitted from the N1-IFG Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program or


the Natural Heritage Bureau.9. Each lot is designed to acconmodate a 3,000 square foot impervious foot print that includes house and driveway, not impactingwetlands.10.

The applicant has certified that theexisting ioop roadway is considered grandfathered pursuant to Env-Wt 101.47.11. The applicant has provided a waiver request per Env-Wt 204.03, to waive the delineation of wetland boundaries on the entireproperty as required per Env-Wt 304.09 (a).12. The applicant has had a Certified Wetland Scientist field delineate the area of the proposed development. The applicant hasprovided approximate boundaries of other wetlands based on a 2003 map of wetlands and NRCS soil mapping.13. It would be an economic hardship for the owner to have the entire 815 acre lot delineated in the field.14. There will be no adverse effect to the environment or natural resources of the state, public health, or public safety; or on abuttingproperties that is more significant than that which would result from complying with the Env-Wt 304.09 (a).15. The waiver is granted in accordance with Env-Wt 204.04(b), as strict compliance with the rule will provide no benefit to thepublic and will cause an operational or economic hardship to the applicant.16. In a letter dated October 26, 2015 the Bethlehem Conservation Commission stated” We want to take this opportunity to expressour concerns about future wetland impacts on individual lots.” 17. In a letter dated December 04, 2015 the applicant provided aresponse to the Conservation Conijnission. Included in the response was a statement indicating that no further impacts are proposedfor development of the lots.18. In a letter dated January 19, 2016 a certified wetland scientist stated “I am confirming that each lot within the proposedLedgewood Subdivision is designed to accommodate a 3,000 square foot impervious footprint that includes houses and drivewayswith no additional wetland impact.19.

The proposed bridge is designed to pass the 50-year storm event with 1 foot of freeboard.8. The proposed replacement stream crossing meets the criteria of Env-Wt 904.07 for the replacement of a Tier One or Tier 2stream crossing.9. The proposed bridge will be an improvement over the existing structure because of the larger hydraulic capacity and naturalstream bottom.10. No comments were submitted from the NHFG Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program or the Natural Heritage Bureau.11. On January 19, 2016 DES received a proposed amendment request.12. The amendment is requested because the original application submission had accidentally included impacts outside of the Townsright-of-way. In order to keep all impacts inside the right-of-way, it was necessary to modify the limits of the stone fill. The updatedarea of stone fill increased the permanent impacts, and reduced the temporary impacts. but the total impacted area remained thesame. All impacts are now on the Town’s property.13. The permit is amended to increase the permanent impact area and decrease the area of temporary impacts with no change in thetotal impact area.
