[1] The wetland data sheets incorrectly show Tsuga canadensis as FACU. Paragraph 9 of 131/40 states that it
needs to be recognized as a wetland plant. Plot T1-UP needs to show that there is a predominance of wetland
plants.
[2] The regulations at 310 CMR 10.53(1) in part states....For work in the Buffer Zone subject to review under 310
CMR 10.02(2)(b)3., the Issuing Authority shall impose conditions to protect the
interests of the Act identified for the adjacent Resource Area. The potential for adverse impacts
to Resource Areas from work in the Buffer Zone may increase with the extent of the work and
the proximity to the Resource Area. The Issuing Authority may consider the characteristics of
the Buffer Zone, such as the presence of steep slopes, that may increase the potential for adverse
impacts on Resource Areas. Conditions may include limitations on the scope and location of
work in the Buffer Zone as necessary to avoid alteration of Resource Areas. The Issuing
Authority may require erosion and sedimentation controls during construction, a clear limit of
work, and the preservation of natural vegetation adjacent to the Resource Area and/or other
measures commensurate with the scope and location of the work within the Buffer Zone to
protect the interests of M.G.L. c. 131, § 40.
