INTRODUCTION
NEW ENGIRND ENVIRONMENTRI, INC.
This Notice of Intent proposes to rebuild and restore a section of an eroding rip rap bank of the
Mill River. Winter ice scouring and undercutting by peak spring flows have degraded the
stability of the Bank, and further erosion is likely without restoration. The very narrow distance
between the existing barn and the river bank is the primary reason for initiating the bank
restoration work at this time. It is feared that the unstable bank conditions will erode into the
structural support of the barn if the bank is not repaired. The plan which is described in this
Notice of Intent proposes removal of invasive exotic vegetation along the top of the bank,
rebuilding of the armored stone surface of the Bank, and planting of native vegetation. No new
work is proposed, no new fill or expansion of the bank is proposed, and no alteration of
Bordering Vegetated Wetland is proposed. This project is a maintenance project to repair an
eroded section of stone rip -rap, with additional stone rip rap to prevent bank scouring and
erosion. We are providing a planting plan to install native wetland vegetation on and adjacent to
the bank area.
As part of this application, it is also proposed to install an area of native stone for a patio surface
of approximately 14' diameter, in the lawn area near the barn, within the Riverfront.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The eastern edge of the lot at #54 Water Street in Leeds borders on the Mill River. The back
yard of this property is a gently sloping mown lawn with garden spaces and a few trees. A small
barn stands in the northeast corner of the lot (see Site Plan). Trees, shrubs, and coarse
herbaceous growth grow in a narrow fringe area adjacent to the River. Soils are mapped as
Hinckley loamy sand, a coarse - textured and excessively drained soil, which is typically loose and
unstructured. Observations during a site visit confirmed that the soil is consistent with the
mapped characterization.
DESCRIPTION OF WETLANDS
New England Environmental, Inc., (NEE) completed the wetlands delineation at #50 Water
Street on July 12, 2000. The following resource areas are in the vicinity of the proposed work:
► Bank
► Land Under Water
► Bordering Land Subject to Flooding
► Riverfront
The Land Under Water is in the Mill River. There is no associated Bordering Vegetated Wetland
beyond the Bank, due to height of the Bank and the droughty nature of the soil. No other wetland
Notice of Intent for 54 Water Street Bank Restoration Page 1
L
NEW ENGIRND ENVIRONMENTRI, INC.
resource areas are present at this site. There are no areas of Estimated Habitat of Rare Wildlife
according to the Massachusetts Natural Heritage Atlas, 2000 -2001 Edition, Easthampton Quad
(see Figure 2).
Bank
The Bank of the Mill River at the back of this property is a steep slope armored with stone with
an average diameter of 18 " -24 ". The height of the top of slope above an early summer water
level varied from 2' to 4'. In the section which is degraded, undercutting at the toe of the slope
has caused some of the stones to tumble down to the river bottom, and surrounding soil and
stones are loosened and eroding downward.
There are trees and scattered shrubs in the Bank. The degraded section and the area above it has
a patch of Japanese Knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum). Another invasive alien found in this
area is Asiatic Bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatis). Native plants growing on the Bank include
American Elm (Ulmus americana), Gray Birch (Betula populifolia), Sensitive Fern (Onoclea
sensibilis), Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), various asters, Clearweed (Pilea
pumila), Deertongue (Panicum clandestinum), Tall Goldenrod (Solidago canadensis), and
spring- flowering violets (Viola spp.).
Bordering Land Subject to Flooding and Riverfront
The Flood Insurance Rate Map for the Town of Northampton shows that part of the Lot is within
the 100 year floodplain, and is therefore Bordering Land Subject to Flooding. (See Figure 3.) As
the depth of the lot is less than 200', the whole lot is within the Riverfront of the Mill River. A
local Watershed Protection area also covers the back portion of the property. All these resource
areas on this lot are developed residential land with buildings, mowed lawn, and gardens. The
proposed work will take place within the confines of the Bank, except to the extent that patches
of alien vegetation have spread to adjacent areas and will be removed, and subsequent replanting
will be required to stabilize these areas.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the proposed work is the repair of the rock face of a destabilized section of the
Bank of the Mill River behind #54 Water Street. The goal is to restore the integrity of the Bank
so that it will be better able to resist erosive action by the River, thereby preventing soil erosion
into the River and destabilization of neighboring stretches of Bank. A secondary goal is the
replacement of invasive alien plants on and adjacent to the Bank with appropriate native plants.
These plantings will also help stabilize the rebuilt Bank.
Notice of Intent for 54 Water Street Bank Restoration Page 2
NEW ENGIRND ENVIRONMENTRI, INC.
The total length of Bank repair on this project is 32 linear feet in front of the barn. This is less
than the 50 foot Bank performance standard for Bank wildlife habitat; however, since this bank is
presently stone rip -rap, it is presumed not to have "important" wildlife habitat attributes.
Proposed Sequence of Work
1) Clear and remove invasive exotic vegetation from the bank area
2) Cut unstable and leaning trees and remove these from the property. Those trees which are
in the bank restoration area and which are stable, have been flagged in the field to be left
uncut.
3) Replace and rebuild stone rip rap bank using 18 " -24" stone. Fill undercut bank with
smaller stone. Align stone to match the adjacent faces.
4) Replant with native trees and shrubs; seed and mulch exposed soil. (See Figure 4 for
planting plan). These will include 20 Silky Dogwood (Cornus amomum) and 38 Pussy
Willow (Salix discolor).
5) Seed any disturbed riverbank/yard area with a native seed mix as specified below:

Timing
Work will be performed as soon as the Order of Conditions is issued by the Northampton
Conservation Commission. Ideally, the work will take place during periods of low water flow in
late summer /early fall. It is the goal of this project to repair the bank prior to the winter when
` erosion and bank scouring is most severe.
Planting of native vegetation will then be timed to take advantage of cooler, wetter fall weather
to establish healthy root systems before winter.
FEES
The activity fee for Category 1(d) (resource improvement) is $55.00. To this is added another
50% for work within the Riverfront, for a total project fee of $82.50. $60.00 is the city share,
and $22.50 has been sent to the DEP lockbox. An additional municipal fee of $35.00 has been
added to the city check, for a sum of $95.00. Copies of the checks follow the Notice of Intent
form.
SUMMARY
The proposed project at #54 Water Street consists of the maintenance rebuilding an existing
rock - covered slope which is part of the Bank of the Mill River, and is also within the Riverfront
and Bordering Land Subject to Flooding. As part of the same operation, invasive alien
vegetation would be removed and replaced by native plants. In the near future, a small 14'
diameter patio surface of native rock will be set at grade in the Riverfront next to the barn. There
` will be no expansion of the existing bank rip rap, no alteration of flood storage, and no alteration
of Bordering Vegetated Wetland.
