Rhizome fragments fre- quently are the source of new downstream colonies, since even a small piece ca generate a new plant. Its hollow bamboo -like stems form large patches that eliminate all other vegeta- tion. Also, the large, loose inflorescense of whitish - green flowers produce abundant, shiny black, triangular seeds that disperse easily.

Similar to the now - scarce native bittersweet, it differs by having flower clusters all along the stem. The vine interferes with forest regeneration, kills trees, cov ers fields and hedgerows, and displaces native plants. Once established, it is extremely difficult to eliminate, but mowing, cutting or hand- Due pulling of vines may p to extensive below- ground "runners" (rhizomes) that sprout prolifically, herbicide treatments applied to cut stems at the time of the first killing frost are often neces- sary to achieve control. courtesy rneview -- -- -den and Nancy Childs (lower illustration) I Japanese Barberry Berberis thunbergii Japanese Barberry has spread r , from plantings, taking over f pastures, woodlands, ledges, and floodplains.

This provides approximately 6 more weeks for you to file. If you require additional time please notify me in writing prior to April 18.

Because you did contact me upon receipt of the Order, the Commission will not issue fines at this time for violations of the Wetlands Protection Act. However, they would like to see a full Notice of Intent filed by March 28 2002 that outlines the work (tree cutting) that was performed, the location and distances of all the cutting relative to the brook, the number and size of the trees cut, and future plans that you have for work on the property. Please see the enclosed Notice of Intent application for specific instructions. You should also hire a wetlands specialist to propose a vegetation restoration plan along the Brook. In our conversation, you indicated that you cut the trees in order to manage the beaver on the property and that you had received a permit from the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife to perform such work, including a permit for breaching beaver dams. Though you may have received a permit in the past from Division of Fisheries and Wildlife to breach a dam, these permits are for 1 -time breaches and management and do not provide permission for ongoing activities. If you breach any dams in the future without permits from the Conservation Commission and/or Fisheries and Wildlife, this will constitute a violation enforceable by the Commission as well as other state agencies. The Commission would like to work with you to create an acceptable plan under the provisions of the Wetlands Protection Act to manage the country club property. If you have any problems meeting the filing deadline by March 28 please notify me as soon as possible. If the Commission does not hear from you or does not receive a Notice of Intent by this date, you may be subject to fines issued by the Commission. Please let me know if you have any questions.

The permeability of these Hinckley soils is rapid in the Subsoil and very rapid in the substratum. Available water ,,apacity is low. The root zone extends into the Substratum, but root growth is restricted by loose, s tratified sand and gravel in the substratum. Reaction in inlimed areas ranges from extremely acid to medium acid. Most areas of these soils are in woodland. Some &teas are farmed, and some have been developed for homesites. These soils are suited to cultivated crops (fig. 8) and to hay and pasture. Droughtiness is a limitation, and "ation is needed in most years. Erosion is a moderate hazard in unit HgB. Minimum tillage, using cover crops and grasses and legumes in the cropping system, and mixing crop residue into the surface layer help to improve tilth and increase organic matter content in cultivated areas. Proper stocking rates, deferred grazing, and pasture rotation help to maintain desirable pasture plant species. These soils are suited to the growth and harvesting of trees. Droughtiness causes a high rate of 'seedling mortality. Reducing plant competition and planting drought- resistant species will help to reduce seedling mortality. These soils have essentially no limitations as a site for dwellings. Slope is a limitation of the soils as a site for small commercial buildings in unit HgB. The rapid and very rapid permeability limits these soils as a site for septic tank absorption fields and causes a hazard of contamination to ground water and nearby wells.

The permeability of these Scituate soils is moderately rapid in the subsoil and slow in the substratum. Available water capacity is moderate. The root zone extends to the•firm substratum. These soils have a seasonal perched water table above the substratum in winter and spring and for short periods after prolonged rains. Reaction of the soils ranges from extremely acid to medium acid. Most areas of these soils are in woodland. Some have been developed for homesites. The stones on the surface make these soils poorly suited to cultivated crops or to hay and pasture. In areas used for pasture, proper stocking rates, deferred grazing, and pasture rotation help to maintain desirable pasture plant species. These soils are suited to trees, but the stones on 41e surface limit the use of harvesting equipment. ! The seasonal perched water table limits these soils as a building site.

Map unit SrA consists of a nearly level soil in broad areas. Map unit SrB consists of a gently sloping soil on hills. The areas are irregular in shape and range from 5 to 30 acres. Typically, the surface layer of these soils is very friable, dark brown fine sandy, loam about 10 inches thick. The subsoil is brown and is 18 inches thick. It is friable fine sandy loam in the upper 6 inches and loose, mottled gravelly loamy sand in the lower 12 inches. The substratum is loose, light brownish gray, mottled very gravelly loamy sand and gravelly sand to a depth of 60 Inches or more. Included with these soils In mapping are a few small areas of Hinckley, Merrimac, and Walpole soils. The Hinckley and Merrimac soils typically are in higher Soil survey 24 positions, and the Walpole soils are in lower positions. Included areas make up about 15 percent of the acreage of these units. The permeability of these Sudbury soils is moderately rapid in the subsoil and rapid in the substratum. Available water capacity is moderate. The root zone extends to the loose substratum. The soils have a seasonal high water table which is in the lower part of the subsoil in winter and spring. Reaction of the soils in unlimed areas ranges from extremely acid to medium acid. Many areas of these soils are farmed. A few areas are in woodland, and the soils are suited to trees. Some areas have been developed for homesites.

Wetnels is the Major mana ement oncern and sUhsurfagg draina jUl ee Minimum tillage and the use of cover crops and grasses and legumes - in the cropping system help to reduce runoff and improve tilth. The use of contour tillage in unit SrB helps to control the moderate hazard of erosion. Mixing crop residue and manure into the surface layer also improves tilth and increases the organic matter content. Proper stocking rates, deferred grazing, and pasture rotation help to maintain desirable pasture plant species. The seasonal high water table is the main limitation of these soils as a building site and as a site for septic tank absorption fields. The rapid permeability causes a hazard of contamination to ground water and nearby wells in areas used for septic tanks. Unit SrA is in capability subclass Ilw, and unit SrB is in capability subclass Ile. Su— Suncook loamy fine sand. This soil is deep, nearly level, and excessively drained. It is on flood plains adjacent to rivers. Most areas of this soil are on low natural levees. The areas are long and narrow and range from 5 to 20 acres. Typically, the surface layer is loose, dark gray loamy fine sand about 10 inches thick. The underlying layers extend to a depth of 60 inches or more. They consist of stratified loose and friable, dark grayish brown loamy fine sand. Included with this soil in mapping are a few small areas of Hadley, Winooski, and Pootatuck soils that make up alatrtlt 15 percent of the unit. The permeability of this Suncook soil is rapid or very rapid throughout. Available water capacity is low. The root zone extends into the underlying layers. Flooding for brief periods is common. Reaction of the soil in unlimed areas is strongly acid or medium acid. Most areas of this soil are in woodland. Some areas are farmed. This soil is suited to cultivated crops and to hay and pasture. The low available water capacity makes Irrigation a major management concern.
