With Findings:1. This is a Major Project per Administrative Rule Env-Wt 303 .02(i), projects that disturb 200 or more linear feet of a perennialnontidal stream.2. The need for the proposed impacts has been demonstrated by the applicant per Env-Wt 302.01.3. The applicant has provided evidence which demonstrates that this proposal is the alternative with the least adverse impact toareas and environments under the departments jurisdiction per Env-Wt 302.03.4. The applicant has demonstrated by plan and example that each factor listed in Env-Wt 302.04(a), Requirements for ApplicationEvaluation, has been considered in the design of the project.5. In accordance with RSA 482-A:8, DES finds that the requirements for a public hearing do not apply as the permitted project isnot of substantial public interest, and will not have a significant impact on or adversely affect the values of the riverine resource, asidentified under RSA 482-A: 1.6. Geomorphic assessment revealed a bankfull width in the reference reach of 14.3 feet. The applicant has incorporated bestpractices in the design to accommodate 1.2 times the bankfull width. The proposed bridge has a clear span of 18 feet.


7. In correspondence dated October 10, 2016 the applicant’s agent stated that the proposed crossing will result in reduced velocitiesrelative to existing conditions, thereby alleviating sediment discharge to downstream infrastructure.8. The applicant has identified a channel constriction for 125 tinear feet upstream of the existing crossing and has proposed towiden this reach from the 9-10 feet (existing conditions) to 14 feet wide, to further alleviate erosion concerns and to replicatechannel geometry in the reference reach.9. Assessment of the reference reach was also used to determine the appropriate size class and gradation of streambed simulationmaterials.10. Contrary to the watershed area delineated by USGS Stream Stats, the observed path of Hayward Brook crosses Whitney StageRoad approximately 0.4 miles north of the intersection of Banks Road, Pinacle Road and Whitney Stage Road. The actual watershedarea received by the subject crossing, delineated by the applicant’s agent, is 1,211 acres.11. In accordance with NH Administrative Rule Env-Wt 904.04(f) compensatory mitigation shall not be required for aself-mitigating design. The proposal will maintain watercourse continuity under low flow conditions, improve the capacity to conveyhigh flows and allow for uninterrupted aquatic organism passage.12. The Natural Heritage Bureau report submitted with the application (N}1316-0704) stated that there are “no recorded occurrencesfor sensitive species near this project area”.13. No comments of concern were received by abutters or local governing organizations. In correspondence dated June 24, 2016,the Ashuelot River Local Advisory Committee expressed support for the project as proposed.

APPROVE PERMIT:Impact 2,058 square feet within the previously-developed 100-foot upland tidal buffer zone and 100-foot Prime Wetland Buffer forthe construction of a single-family residential dwelling on 3,734 square feet.

With Conditions:1. All work shall be in accordance with the following plans received by DES on October 4, 2016:a.) ‘Stormwater Management Plan’ by Ross Engineering dated 9-27-2016; and,b.) ‘Plan of Land & New Foundation Layout’ by E.J. Cote & Associates, Inc. dated September 22, 2016.2. Not less than 5 state business days prior to starting work authorized by this permit, the permitted shall notify the DES WetlandsProgram and the Hampton Conservation Commission in writing of the date on which work under this permit is expected to start.3. Any further alteration of areas on this property that are subject to RSA 482-A jurisdiction will require a new application andfurther permitting.4. All development activities associated with this project shall be conducted in compliance with applicable requirements of RSA483-B and N.H. Code Admin. Rules Env-Wq 1400 during and after construction.5. No person undertaking any activity shall cause or contribute to, or allow the activity to cause or contribute to, any violations ofthe surface water quality standards in RSA 485-A and Env-Wq 1700.6. Work shall be carried out in a time and manner to avoid disturbances to migratory waterfowl breeding and nesting areas.7. Appropriate siltation and erosion controls shall be in place prior to construction, shall be maintained during construction, andshall remain until the area is stabilized. Temporary controls shall be removed once the area has been stabilized.8. The contractor responsible for completion of the work shall use techniques described in the New Hampshire Stormwater Manual,Volume 3, Erosion and Sediment Controls During Construction (December 2008).9. Any fill used shall be clean sand, gravel, rock, or other suitable material.10. The permittee’s contractor shall maintain appropriate oilldiesel fuel spill kits on site that are readily accessible at all times during


construction, and shall train each operator in the use of the kits.11. All refueling of equipment shall occur outside of surface waters or wetlands during construction. Machinery shall be staged andrefueled in upland areas only.12. Faulty equipment shall be repaired immediately prior to entering areas that are subject to RSA 482-A jurisdiction.13. No more than 56.6% of the area of the lot within the protected shoreland shall be covered by impervious surfaces unlessadditional approval is obtained from DES.

With Findings:1. This is a major impact project per Administrative Rule Env-Wt 303.02(f), projects located in or adjacent to designated primewetlands under RSA 482-A:15.2. The impacts are necessary to build a single-family dwelling; therefore, the need for the proposed impacts has been demonstratedby the applicant per Env-Wt 302.01.3. The impacts will occur within the previously-developed 100-foot upland tidal buffer zone and the lots adjacent to the propertyhave been developed; therefore, the applicant has provided evidence which demonstrates that his/her project, as approved andconditioned, is the alternative with the least adverse impact to areas and environments under the departments jurisdiction perEnv-Wt 302.03.4. The applicant has demonstrated by plan and example that each factor listed in Env-Wt 302.04(a)&(c), Requirements forApplication Evaluation, has been considered in the design of the project.5. The applicant received written concurrence from those abutters whose property is within 20-feet of the proposed impacts inaccordance with Env-Wt 304.04(a).6. The agent satisfactorily addressed Env-Wt 703(b).7. The project as approved and constructed in adherence to install erosion controls offsets impacts from any increased runoff createdby the development.8. Based on the inspection conducted on October 14, 2016 by DES personnel, the project involves negligible environmental impactsas the impacts occur within the previously-developed 100-foot upland tidal buffer zone, siltation fencing will be correctly installedprior to soil disturbance, and a stomiwater management system has been designed by a professional engineering in accordance withRSA 483-B:9, V(g)(l). Therefore, the salt marsh complex will not be adversely impacted as a result of this project.9. No comments were submitted from the NHFG Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program or the Natural Heritage Bureau..10. An email from the Hampton Conservation Commission states, “Since the [Hampton Conservation] Commission is in favor of theproject, there is no objection waiving the additional 20 day waiting period for prime wetland projects,” pursuant to Env-Wt 704.01.11. Based on the findings above, there is clear and convincing evidence this proposal will have no significant loss of values to theprime 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.12. In accordance with RSA 482-A:8, DES finds that the requirements for a public hearing do not apply as the permitted project isnot of substantial public interest, and will not have a significant impact on or adversely affect the values of the estuarine resource, asidentified under RSA 482-A: 1.

With findings:1. This is a minimum impact project per Administrative Rule Env-Wt 303.04(b), projects in previously developed upland areaswithin 100 feet of the highest observable tide tine.2. The impacts are necessary to alleviate flooding on the property; therefore, the need for the proposed impacts has beendemonstrated by the applicant per Env-Wt 302.01.3. The impacts occur within the previously developed 100-foot tidal buffer zone. Stormtech subsurface stormwater treatmentchambers will be installed on the property. Therefore, the applicant has provided evidence which demonstrates that this proposal isthe alternative with the least adverse impact to areas and environments under the department’s jurisdiction per Env-Wt 302.03.4. The applicant has demonstrated by plan and example that each factor listed in Env-Wt 302.04(b) and (c) Requirements forApplication Evaluation, has been considered in the design of the project.5. The reasonableness of constructing a storm water drainage outfall to the Atlantic Ocean to abate flooding conditions associatedwith 2575 Ocean Boulevard was discussed with staff from the DES Watershed Management Bureau who found that this residentialstorm water discharge from a relatively small collection area would result in no negative water quality issue at the proposed location.6. The alternative of an on-site detention pond as suggested by the Rye Conservation Commission to deal with site drainage issueswas investigated and found not to be feasible or practicable at this location.7. No comments were submitted from the NHFG Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program or the Natural Heritage Bureau.8. NH DHR found ‘No Historic Properties Affected.’9. This amended permit reflects the addition of a catch basin within the existing ROW at the request of NH DOT and does notchange the previously approved area of impact.

In accordance with Rule Env-Wt 302.04 (d)(2) the department shall not grant a permit if the project would cause or contribute tosignificant degradation of waters of the state or (3) The project will cause random or unnecessary destruction of wetlands.

Findings of Fact:1. On August 26, 2016, the Wetlands Bureau received a wetland permit application to fill 932 sq. ft. of poorly drained forestedwetland and restore 108 sq. ft. of filled wetlands on the lot identified as Belmont Tax Map 107 Lot 52.2. The proposed wetland fill does not meet Rule 302.01 as the demonstration of need for the impacts has not been met. Theapplicant indicated the project is intended to provide a safer backyard area for the house. A building permit was acquired in February2005, and the house was completed in 2007. The existence of the wetland was identified by 2004 and does not represent a safetyissue requiring filling of the wetland.3. The proposed wetland fill does not meet Rule Env-Wt 302.03 as impacts have not been minimized or avoided to the maximumextent practicable. The proposed slope grading can be performed in upland. Potential safety concerns can be addressed byinstallation of a fence located in uplands.4. The Belmont Conservation Commission has reviewed the proposed project application and voted to oppose the granting of thewetland permit. The Belmont Conservation Commission has noted the site wetland is part of a wetland complex that is the last andonly filtration for both sediment and nutrients carried from neighborhood stonnwater prior to outlet to Lake Winnesquam. TheCommission indicated there is currently a program in place at Sun Ray shores to eradicate milfoil in the vicinity and noted thatterrestrial runoff of sediment and nutrients may exacerbate the existing milfoil problem.5. The Town of Belmont Conservation Commission performed an on-site inspection of the 9 June Circle property. The Town ofBelmont Conservation Commission Meeting Minutes dated October 5, 2016 indicate that following the on-site inspection theCommission agreed to stand by their original letter (dated September 7, 2016) opposing the project.6. The wetland permit application plan and narrative indicate the wetland delineation was performed by Michael Seekamp in July2004. The Army Corps of Engineers indicates wetland delineations (jurisdictional determinations) are valid for a period of 5-years.7. In accordance with Env-Wt 304.04, the DES Wetlands Bureau shall limit the location of a project to at least 20 feet from anabutting property line or imaginary extension thereof over surface water unless it receives written agreement from the affectedabutter concurring with any impact that may result relative to the abutter’s interests. The applicant has not submitted writtenagreements from the Owners of the abutting properties located within 20 feet of the proposed project area.8. A site observations visit was performed by NHDES on November 3, 2016. Fill was observed in locations identified withinwetlands per submitted plan.9. The application plan indicates there are 210 sq. ft. of previously filled wetlands located on the site. There are no wetland permitsassociated with placement of fill at the subject property.

Rulings in Support of Denial:1. The applicant failed to present evidence which demonstrates the need for the alteration of nontidal wetlands per Rule 302.01.2. The applicant failed to provide evidence which demonstrates that his/her proposal is the alternative with the least adverse impactto areas and environments under the department’s jurisdiction per Rule Wt 302.03.3. Pursuant to Rule Env-Wt 302.04, Requirements for Application Evaluation, (b), (5), applicants for Minimum projects shalldemonstrate by plan and example that the alternative proposed by the applicant is the one with the least impact to wetlands or surfacewaters on site.4. Pursuant to Rule Env-Wt 302.04, Requirements for Application Evaluation, (d), (1), the department shall not grant a permit ifthere is a practicable alternative that would have a less adverse impact on the area and environments under the department’s


jurisdiction.5. Pursuant to Rule 304.04, Setback from Property Lines, (a), The department shall limit the location of a project to at least 20 feetfrom an abutting property line or imaginary extension thereof over the surface water unless it receives written agreement from theaffected abutter concurring with any impact that may result relative to the abutter’s interests.

CONFIRM EMERGENCY AUTHORIZATION:Concrete repairs to a deteriorating footing of an existing 127” by 106” corrugated metal pipe arch.

With Findings:1. This project is classified as a Minimum Impact Project per Administrative Rule Env-Wt 303.04(o), projects deemed minimum

impact by the department based on the degree of environmental impact. Typically, repair/rehabilitation work is not permitted on

existing Tier 3 crossings, per Chapter Env-Wt 900 rules on Stream Crossings. The nature of the proposed repairs was deemed

minimum and permitted under and Emergency Authorization while the stream was not flowing due to severe drought conditions.

2. As described in correspondence from the Walpole Road Agent, dated November 7, 2016, existing concrete and bedrock was

drilled for rebar installation then concrete forms were installed by hand. Concrete was mixed in upland areas and lowered by bucket

into the repair area. Concrete was also injected into a washed-out void behind the corrugated metal pipe arch then patched with a

welded plate.3. The project was necessary to repair the footings of an existing corrugated metal pipe arch, due to concrete deterioration. In

correspondence dated September 19, 2016, the Walpole Road Agent stated that “it is necessary for public safety to do the job now

and before high water damages the structural integrity even more.”4. Emergency authorization for this work was issued by DES Wetlands Bureau Staff on September 19, 2016.

5. Review of the application submitted pursuant the emergency authorization indicates that work has been completed in accordance

with the emergency authorization. A photo log and narrative describing the work was received by DES on October 27, 2016.
