The area described on the referenced plan(s) is an area subject to protection under the Act. Removing, filling, dredging, or altering of the area requires the filing of a Notice of Intent. ❑ 2a. The boundary delineations of the following resource areas described on the referenced plan(s) are confirmed as accurate. Therefore, the resource area boundaries confirmed in this Determination are binding as to all decisions rendered pursuant to the Wetlands Protection Act and its regulations regarding such boundaries for as long as this Determination is valid. ❑ 2b. The boundaries of resource areas listed below are not confirmed by this Determination, regardless of whether such boundaries are contained on the plans attached to this Determination or to the Request for Determination. ▪ 3.

Therefore, said work requires the filing of a Notice of Intent. • The Northampton Conservation Commission finds that the exemption cited in 310 CMR 10.58 (6)(a) does not apply to this project since spray zones occur simultaneously within Riverfront Area and Buffer Zones to Bank resources. • The Northampton Conservation Commission finds that the spraying of herbicides will have a greater impact on Riverfront Area and Buffer Zones to Bank resources than mechanical means of removing vegetation. • The Northampton Conservation Commission finds that the proposed project is within Estimated Habitat of Rare Wildlife, and therefore an NOI must be simultaneously submitted to NHESP. ❑ 4. The work described on referenced plan(s) and document(s) is within the Buffer Zone and will alter an Area subject to protection under the Act. Therefore, said work requires the filing of a Notice of Intent. ❑ 5.

Exhibit 3: Work Description Target Vegetation Target vegetation along roadways falls into one or more of the following categories: Hazard Vegetation, Detrimental Vegetation, Nuisance Vegetation, and Invasive Vegetation. From a roadside vegetation management standpoint, target vegetation will be one or more of the 'following types: grasses, low growth (Le., shrubs and vines), and tall growth (i.e., trees). Hazard Vegetation. This category represents the primary target material, including vegetation obscuring sightlines, growing over guardrails, creating obstacles to signs or movement, posing windfall hazard over vehicular or pedestrian, or creating winter shade leading to icing conditions. Detrimental Vegetation. This category comprises grasses and woody plants that are destructive to or compromise the function of highway structures, including grasses in pavement and bridge joints, medians barriers and traffic islands. Nuisance Vegetation. This category includes any vegetation growing along state roadways that could potentially cause problems to the general public and/or MassHighway employees or conimctors_maintaining_the ROW_.- The_over-whelming- majority- of -plant- material to be controlled in this instance is Poison Ivy (Radicans). Poison Ivy and other nuisance vegetation growing within 30 feet of the edge of pavement, bridge abutments, a drainage structure or swale, other structures and appurtenances requiring maintenance, within MassHighway ROW, is considered target vegetation. Invasive Vegetation. Some areas of MassHighway ROW have become heavily infested with invasive plant species_ Specific target invasive plants include but are not limited to Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima), Japanese Knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum), Multiflora Rose (Rosa multiflora), Oriental Bittersweet (Celastrus spp.), and Autumn Olive (E. umbellata) and Russian Olive (E. angustifolia). Methods There are two proposed methods of herbicide application: Foliar Treatment and Cut Stump Surface Treatment. Foliar Treatment is the application of herbicides to fully developed leaves, stems, or blades of a plant. The herbicide is mixed or diluted with water and applied as a uniform spray over the entire foliage of the plant. MassHighway will utilize post - emergent, low volume, low pressure foliar treatment herbicide applications only. All herbicides used by MassHighway have been researched, tested and approved by the. Department of Food & Agriculture (DFA) for use in "Sensitive Areas." Target vegetation will include grasses and low growth. Cut Stump Surface Treatment is the application of an herbicide to the cut surface of a stump immediately following or during a cutting operation. Application equipment includes hand held squirt bottles, paint brushes or sponge applicators. Target vegetation will include tall growth.
