A post-construction report, prepared by a Certified Wetland Scientist or Qualified Professional, as applicable,documenting status of the project area and restored jurisdictional area or buffer, including photographs, shall be submitted tothe NHDES Wetlands Program within 60 days of the completion of construction. NHDES Wetlands Program may requiresubsequent monitoring and corrective measures if NHDES deemed the area inadequately stabilized or restored.

With Findings:1. This is a minor impact project per Administrative Rule Env-Wt 303.03(o), for the replacement of a tier 2 stream crossingthat meets 903.01(fl(1)(c).2. The need for the proposed impacts has been demonstrated by the applicant per Env-Wt 302.01 as the existing culvertsare severely undersized and these crossings have a history of washing out.3. The applicant has provided evidence which demonstrates that this proposal is the alternative with the least adverse impactto areas and environments under the department’s jurisdiction per Env-Wt 302.03 as the proposed culvert will be embeddedwith stream simulation and will be appropriately sized to pass the stream crossing rules in Env-Wt 900.4. The applicant has demonstrated by plan and example that each factor listed in Env-Wt 302.04(a) Requirements forApplication Evaluation, has been considered in the design of the project.5. This application was submitted in response to NHDES Wetlands Compliance File #2016-00115 involving two streamcrossings along an unnamed tributary stream to Banfield Brook along Bergdorf Place and Grison Road. NHDES Staffconducted a field inspection of the project site on January 07, 2016. Field inspection determined that repairs to thewashed-out culverts were completed without NHDES approval or permits. The town has since filed applications (WetlandsFile #2017-02622 and #2017-02638) to bring these two crossings into compliance with all NH Administrative Rules Env-Wt100-900.6. In a regulatory review of the site dated November 07, 2016, the US Fish and Wildlife Service found that while Northernlong-eared bats (Myotis septentrionalis) and small whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides) were present in the vicinity of thesite, there are no critical habitats for these species at this location.7. In a review letter dated December 08, 2016, the NH Natural Heritage Bureau (NHB) found that there were no records of asensitive species in the vicinity of the project.8. As of January 25, 2018, no comments of concern have been received by NHDES from abutters or local governingorganizations.9. While this project takes place in the vicinity of the Madison Boulder National Natural Landmark, it is not likely to have aneffect on it.10. The culvert as proposed passes the stream crossing rules in Env-Wt 900 for a tier 2 stream crossing.

Retain 920 square feet (SF) of dredge and fill within the bed and banks of an unnamed intermittent tributary stream to theIndian River (tier 1, impacting 45 linear feet) to install a 36 inch diameter by 20 foot long culvert to allow access from aparking area to an athletic field.

APPROVE PERMITRetain 920 square feet (SF) of dredge and fill within the bed and banks of an unnamed intermittent tributary stream to theIndian River (tier 1 impacting 45 linear feet) to install a 36 inch diameter by 20 foot long culvert to allow access from aparking area to an athletic field.

With Conditions:1. AlT work shall be in accordance with plans by Beaver Tracks, LLC., dated July 24, 2017, and revised through November 14,2017, as received by the NH Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) on November 16, 2017.2. Revegetation of the stream banks shall be done in accordance with the narrative provided by Beaver Tracks, LLC., datedDecember 27, 2017.3. Appropriate siltation and erosion controls shall be in place prior to construction, shall be maintained during construction,and shall remain until the area is stabilized. Temporary controls shall be removed once the area has been stabilized.4. Erosion control products shall be installed per manufacturers recommended specifications.5. All dredged and excavated material and construction-related debris shall be placed outside of the areas subject to RSA482-A. Any spoil material deposited within 250 feet of any surface water shall comply with RSA-483-B.6. The contractor responsible for completion of the work shall use techniques described in the New Hampshire StormwaterManual, Volume 3, Erosion and Sediment Controls During Construction (December 2008).7. All work shall be done from the top of the bank only.8. Work shall be done during non-flow.9. No machinery shall enter the water.10. No excavation shall be done in flowing water. No construction equipment shall be operated in flowing water.11. Any fill used shall be clean sand, gravel, rock, or other suitable material.12. Bank stabilization shall not extend land into the stream/river channel.13. Only native plant species shall be used to revegetate the riverbank.14. Native live plantings shall be installed by September 15th on previously stabilized, riprap banks. Dormant willows shall beplanted in the spring by June 1st or in the fall after September 15th and before October 30th.15. The river banks and buffer plantings shall have at least 75% successful vegetation establishment after two (2) growingseasons, or they shall be replanted and re-established in a manner satisfactory to the NHDES Wetlands Program.16. A post-construction report, prepared by a Certified Wetland Scientist or Qualified Professional, as applicable,documenting status of the project area and restored jurisdictional area or buffer, including photographs, shall be submitted tothe NHDES Wetlands Program within 60 days of the completion of construction. NHDES Wetlands Program may requiresubsequent monitoring and corrective measures if NHDES deemed the area inadequately stabilized or restored.

With Findings:1. This is a Minimum Impact Project per NH Administrative Rule Env-Wt 303.04(ah), as it involves the construction of a newtier 1 stream crossing that meets all of the requirements in Env-Wt 900.2. The need for the proposed impacts has been demonstrated by the applicant per Env-Wt 302.01 as there is no otheravailable public access point for the ball fields that will not involve crossing the Canaan Elementary School Property.3. The applicant has provided evidence which demonstrates that this proposal is the alternative with the least adverse impactto areas and environments under the department’s jurisdiction per Env-Wt 302.03 as it will occur across a manmade channelthat used to convey sewage into the Indian River.


4. The applicant has demonstrated by plan and example that each factor listed in Env-Wt 302.04(b) Requirements forApplication Evaluation, has been considered in the design of the project.5. In a review letter dated July 09, 2017, the NH Natural Heritage Bureau (NHB) found that there were no records of asensitive species in the vicinity of the project.6. On December 15, 2017, an extension agreement until December 20, 2017, was signed and submitted by the agent,Jonathan Sisson to allow for additional time to complete a hydraulic analysis of the crossing, to formulate a revegetation plan,and to complete a stream downgrade request.7. On December 20, 2017, an extension agreement until December 27, 2017, was signed and submitted by the agent,Jonathan Sisson to allow for additional time to complete a hydraulic analysis of the crossing, to formulate a revegetation plan,and to complete a stream downgrade request.8. In a letter dated December 27, 2017, the applicant requested that the stream crossing tier be downgraded from a tier 3crossing within a 100-year floodplain, to a tier 1 crossing as the watershed size at the site of the stream crossing is 108.8acres per Env-Wt 904.04(b).9. In a HydroCAD report dated January 12, 2018, and received by NHDES on January 16, 2018, it was determined that theproposed crossing would not pass the 50-year storm event with peak flow elevations at 946.48 feet while the culvert invert isat 946.20 feet at its peak. However, this report did not account for the presence of attenuation due to upstream culverts thatexist within the watershed at the stream crossings along Blain Road or Canaan Street. For example, approximately 142 feetupstream of the proposed crossing (measured using Google Earth 7.1.8.3036), there is a 30 inch diameter culvert thatcrosses Canaan Street that was installed by the NH Department of Transportation in 2010 (See Wetlands File #2010-01798).The larger 36 inch culvert proposed in this application should therefore be sufficient to handle the flows through this areawithout negatively impacting flood stages on abutting properties.
