With Findings:1. This is a Major Impact Project per Administrative Rule Env-Wt 303.02(h), as this project impacts more than 200 linear feetalong the shoreline of Woodward Pond, and Env-Wt 303.02(i), as impacts to the stream that outlets through the spillwaychannel are more than 200 linear feet.2. The applicant has provided evidence which demonstrates that this proposal is the alternative with the least adverse impactto areas and environments under the department’s jurisdiction per Env-Wt 302.03. The proposed project aims to rehabilitateand improve Woodward Dam to address a March 8, 2016 Letter of Deficiency by the NH DES Dam Bureau. Woodward PondDam is classified as a Significant Hazard structure by the NHDES Dam Bureau, which means that failure may result in majoreconomic loss to structures or property. The proposed project completely avoids impacts to adjacent wetlands, and the leastenvironmentally damaging practicable alternative was selected.3. The applicant has demonstrated by plan and example that each factor listed in Env-Wt 302.04(a) Requirements forApplication Evaluation, has been considered in the design of the project.4. Compensatory mitigation shall not be required in accordance with Rule Env-Wt 302.03(c)(2)(c), as this project involveswork to protect existing dam infrastructure.5. This project proposes to increase dam conveyance capacity by increasing the height of the dam from 1,330 feet to 1,332feet to meet the NHDES Dam Bureau required flood event (2.5 x 100-year event).6. The project proposes to rehabilitate the spillway and modify the outlet channel to accommodate the design flood. Theproposed design includes replacement of existing dual 15-inch diameter culverts with an 8-foot wide by 5-toot high boxculvert to carry the existing access road across the spillway to the dam embankment.7. The project proposes to control embankment seepage, stabilize the dam, and replace the existing outlet works, amanually-operated gate valve that is leaking, with a self-priming siphon system.8. The New Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau (NHB) has reviewed the proposed project (NHB18-1 047) and determinedthat there are no recorded occurrences of sensitive species near the project area, per the letter dated April 2, 2018.9. The USFWS database check identified species including the Northern Long-eared Bat (NLB; status: federally-threatened)that may occur within the boundary of the proposed project and/or be affected by the proposed project. The USFWSdatabase check identified no critical habitats within the project area per letter dated September 25, 2018.10. In correspondence with NH Division of Historical Resources dated December 12, 2018, it was determined that there willbe an adverse effect to historical resources as a result of this project.11. No comments were received by NHDES from abutters.12. On March 7, 2019 a Request for More Information letter (RFMI) was issued for the Wetland Permit Application.13. On May 2, 2019 a Time Extension Agreement was granted to allow until June 1, 2019 to respond to the RFMI letter.14. On May 30, 2019 the complete RFMI response was emailed to NHDES, and on June 4, 2019 the hardcopy was receivedby NHDES.15. In accordance with RSA 482-A:8, NHDES finds that the requirements for a public hearing do not apply as the permittedproject is not of substantial public interest, and will not have a significant impact on or adversely affect the values of thelacustrine and riverine resource, as identified under RSA 482-A:1.

The permiftee or permiftee’s contractor shall properly construct, landscape, and monitor the restoration areas, and shalltake such remedial actions as may be necessary to create functioning wetland areas similar to those of the wetlandsdestroyed by the project. Remedial measures may include replanting, relocating plantings, removal of invasive species,changing soil composition and depth, changing the elevation of the wetland surface, and changing the hydrologic regime.

With Findings:1. This is a Major Project per Administrative Rule 303.02(i) for projects that alter the course of or disturb 200 or more linearfeet of an intermittent or perennial nontidal stream or river channel or its banks, and per Rule Env-Wt 303. 02(p) for anyproject that includes a new or replacement stream crossing which meets the criteria for a tier 3 stream crossing as specifiedin Env-Wt 904.04(a).2. The permanent impacts to wetlands, stream bed and bank total to approximately 3,785 square feet and temporary impactstotal to approximately 3,665 square feet. The wetlands involved are perennial and seasonal streams and their banks, andforested wetlands with a total of 301 linear feet of permanent stream bed and bank impacts. The existing perennial streamand associated stream banks flowing under Harvey Road through the 96 inch culvert is named Little Cohas Brook (Tier 3)with a classification R2UB1/2. Along the northeasterly portion of the project area is a forested wetland PFO1E with aseasonal stream R2UB1/2 located within the wetland area.3. The project is designed to extend and install culvert slip lining to allow for future construction of a four lane road and railtrail crossing. The existing 96-inch by 81-foot long culvert is showing signs of deterioration and needs repair along with thereplacement of the roadway guardrail. The proposed project results in a culvert length increase to 116-feet and permanentlyimpacts an additional 120- feet of upstream banks. The proposed culvert improvements at Harvey Road consist of realigningthe inlet stream channel, extending the pipe length from 81 feet to 116 feet, and lining the entire pipe barrel with cementconcrete, and construct associated headwalls. The design includes construction of 375 square feet of stream bed and 580square feet of stream bank within existing upland areas to accommodate the upstream culvert extension and to adjust thestream channel to the new culvert inlet. The adjustment upstream also includes widening the stream channel to provide anappropriate stream cross-section, similar to the existing stream, and providing a gradual taper to the extended culvert inletand headwall.4. The culvert rehabilitation results in an Alternative design in accordance with Env-Wt 904.09. The applicant’s engineer hasprovided a Field Geomorphic Investigation of Little Cohas Brook at Harvey Road, a Hydraulic Study Report, and a TechnicalReport in accordance with Env-M 904.09. The existing 96-inch culvert can currently pass the 1 00-year storm event. Theproposed culvert extensions under this project will not diminish the ability to pass the 100-year storm event. The velocities inthe downstream channel indicate an insignificant increase in velocities at 10 feet downstream of the culvert due to theexisting backwater situation. No additional erosion is anticipated at downstream locations due to increased velocities.5. The New Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau Datacheck Results letter dated March 12, 2019 (NHB19-0766) indicatesBlandings’ turtle, Eastern Hognose snake, New England Cottontail, and Smooth Green Snake within the proximity of theproject area. The NHFG has required that no fertilizers be used at the time of planting and any slope stabilizing materialsmust be free from plastic or other non-biodegradable materials that create a mesh that can impact wildlife per emailcorrespondence included with the application. The requirements have been included as conditions of the permit. Fishpassage within Little Cohas Brook downstream of the Harvey Road culvert was determined to be reduced due to existingdownstream culvert trash rack, modified stream channel condition, and extended culvert lengths per NHFG discussion onJune 12, 2019. Proposed outlet invert elevation will be increased however, the outlet remains artificially backwatered due tothe condition of the downstream culvert trash rack.


6. A Memorandum of Understanding has been provided between the Owners of Map 13 Lot 143, Map 14 Lot 11, Map 28 Lot22-29 and the Town of Londonderry for the proposed work.7. The project plans dated February 8, 2019 and Water Diversion Plan dated May 15, 2019 have been stamped by a NewHampshire Licensed Professional Engineer. Site plan has been stamped by a New Hampshire Certified Wetland Scientist.8. The applicant has reviewed on-site options for mitigation and the department has determined that this project is acceptablefor payment to the Aquatic Resource Mitigation (ARM) Fund.9. The payment calculated for the proposed wetland loss equals $74,551.68 dollars.10. The Department decision is issued in letter form and upon receipt of the ARM fund payment, the Department shall issue aposting permit in accordance with Env-Wt 803.08(f).11. The payment into the ARM fund shall be deposited in the NHDES fund for the Merrimack River watershed per RSA482-A:29.

infrastructure.3. The wetland is located in a narrow swale adjacent to a commercial development to the west and industrial site to the east.The swale conveys water from wetlands to the north into Mascoma River to the south, via a 500-foot-long culvert under US-4.The wetland was channelized in the 1970s and collects and conveys stormwater from the adjacent properties. The wetlandhas accumulated sediment and no longer conveys water effectively, resulting in flooding to the east. Although the projectconsists of permanent impacts, it will not result in a net wetland loss. The swale is anticipated to remain as a wetland sincethe hydrologic regime will not be significantly altered.4. The project’s Certified Wetland Scientist (CWS) reviewed the swale and found no evidence of a stream channel.5. The CWS conducted a 2019 vernal pool survey and identified the area northeast of the project area as a vernal pool. Theproject does not impact the vernal pool.6. The applicant has provided evidence which demonstrates that this proposal is the alternative with the least adverse impactto areas and environments under the department’s jurisdiction per Env-Wt 302.03.7. The applicant has demonstrated by plan and example that each factor listed in Env-M 302.04f a) Requirements forApplication Evaluation, has been considered in the design of the project Pursuant to the NHDES Request for MoreInformation dated March 1, 2019, the applicant evaluated alternative solutions to the flooding and minimized impacts. Effortsto minimize impacts include using wildlife-friendly erosion controls, planting the swale with shrubs and seeding with a wetlandmix. The total wetland impact area has been reduced from the original proposal of 8,600 to 4,168 square feet. Wetlandimpacts north of the access road have been reduced from 100 to 30 linear feet. The earthen berm along the swale andassociated filling have been replaced with a lesser impacting perimeter curb.8.

With Findings:1. This project is classified as a Minor Project per New Hampshire Administrative Rule Env-Wt 303.03(h), as wetlandimpacts are greater than 3,000 square feet (SF) and less than 20,000 SF.2. The applicant has provided evidence which demonstrates that this proposal is the alternative with the least adverse impactto areas and environments under the department’s jurisdiction per New Hampshire Administrative Rule Env-Wt 302.03.3. This site was historically used as a sand and gravel pit.4. NHDES Wetlands Pemit 1989-01744 was issued to retain 19,250 square feet of fill for roadway crossings and to restore16,325 square feet of wetland fill within a proposed 29-lot subdivision. The 16,325 square feet of restoration was notconducted and the original subdivision project was never constructed.5. Following a pre-application meeting, held on February 12, 2019, approval was issued by NH DES to now restoreapproximately 17,640 square feet of wetland (NHDES Restoration Approval dated May 16, 2019) prior to November 01,2019, to be monitored and managed in accordance with the Restoration Plan and all project descriptive details submitted toNHDES on April 19, 2019 and May 16, 2019 by B.H. Keith Associates and MJS Engineering, P.C.6. The site layout has been designed to retain existing pockets of open sandy areas for turtle nesting habitat. Through theNHDES Alteration of Terrain review process, stormwater management features have been designed to avoid and minimizeimpact to turtles and amphibians through the use of slanted curbing, narrow grate openings on catch basin inlets and thedetention pond outlet structure, no sumps in catch basins, positioning the detention basin outlet structure away from the bankof the basin.7. Further, wetland connectivity will be re-established using reinforced concrete culverts, which are recommended overplastic culverts, for their ability to retain moisture and provide a roughened surface which facilitates reptile and amphibianpassage.8. The applicant has demonstrated by plan and example that each factor listed in Env-Wt 302.04(b) Requirements forApplication Evaluation, has been considered in the design of the project.9. The Town of Epping Conservation Commission did not comment on the project.10. A portion of the parcel falls within the Designated River Corridor of the Lamprey River. However, the limit of disturbanceassociated with this project is outside of the corridor.11. The NH Natural Heritage Bureau (NHB) report(NHB18-3326) indicated the presence of an exemplary natural communityplus threatened/endangered plant and vertebrate species.

DENY PERMITImpact 3, 631 square feet of protected shoreland in order to raze the nonconforming primary structure and shed, construct amore nearly conforming primary structure, replace the existing impervious driveway with a pervious driveway and walkways,and construct a new septic system.

With Findings:Standards for Approval

1. Pursuant to RSA 483-8:3 Consistency Required, I, state and local permits for work within the protected shorelands shall beissued only when consistent with the policies of RSA 483-B.2. RSA 483-B: 1 Purpose, I-a, states “[t]he general court finds that... A natural woodland buffer, consisting of trees and othervegetation located in areas adjoining public waters, functions to intercept surface runoff, wastewater, subsurface flow, anddeeper groundwater flows from upland sources and to remove or minimize the effects of nutrients, sediment, organic mailer,pesticides, and other pollutants and to moderate the temperature of the near-shore waters.”3. Pursuant to RSA 483-B:9 Minimum Shoreland Protection Standards, II, (b), within the protected shoreland, primarystructures shall be set back behind the primary building line which is 50 feet from the reference line.4. Pursuant to RSA 483-B:9 V, (b) Maintenance of Vegetation within the Woodland Buffer (1) The woodland buffer shall bethose protected shorelands within 150 feet of the reference line. The purpose of the woodland buffer shall be to protect thequality of public waters by minimizing erosion, preventing siltation and turbidity, stabilizing soils, preventing excess nutrientand chemical pollution, maintaining natural water temperatures, maintaining a healthy tree canopy and understory, preservingfish and wildlife habitat, and respecting the overall natural condition of the protected shoreland.5. Pursuant to RSA 483-8:9 V, (b) Maintenance of Vegetation within the Woodland Buffer, f2)(A), on a given lot, at least 25percent of the woodland buffer area located between 50 feet and 150 feet from the reference line shall be maintained asnatural woodland. The percentage of the woodland buffer area maintained as natural woodland on lots which fail to conformto this standard shall not be decreased.6. Pursuant to RSA 483-8:4, Xl-d. “Nonconforming structure” means a structure that, either individually or when viewed incombination with other structures on the property, does not conform to the provisions of this chapter, including but not limitedto the impervious surface limits of RSA 483-B:9, V(g).7. Pursuant to RSA 483-B:11, Non-Conforming Structures, IV, “Under paragraph I, and except as otherwise prohibited bylaw or applicable municipal ordinance, primary nonconforming structures may be entirely demolished and reconstructed, withcontinued encroachment into the waterfront buffer, provided the replacement structure is located farther back from thereference line than the preexisting nonconforming structure.”

Findings of Fact

1. On May 28, 2019 the Department received an application for 3,631 square feet of impacts to protected shorelands alongGovernors Lake in Raymond in order to raze a nonconforming primary structure and construct a more nearly nonconformingprimary structure, replace the existing impervious driveway with a pervious driveway and walkway, and install a new septicsystem.2. The property on which the impacts are proposed is identified as Lot 39 on Raymond Tax Map 34 (the “Property”).3. The existing primary structure is partially within the 50 foot primary building setback and thus is considered anon-conforming structure and subject to RSA 483-B:11.4. The project as proposed relocates the existing nonconforming primary structure footprint within the waterfront buffetwithout expansion and set 4 feet farther back from the reference line than the existing structure and therefore meets thecriteria of RSA 483-B:i 1, IV.5. The Shoreland Application Worksheet submitted with the Application states that vegetation meeting the definition ofnatural woodlands remains within 100 square feet of the 2,639 square foot area of woodland buffer beyond the waterfrontbuffer.6. Photographs submitted with the application illustrate that there is vegetation that meets the definition of natural woodlandsremaining within that portion of the woodland buffer landward of the waterfront buffer.6. The project as proposed results in the removal of all natural woodlands from the woodland buffer and will not comply withRSA 483-B:9 V, (b), (2)(A).


1. The project as proposed fail to meet the minimum standards for the maintenance of natural woodlands within thewoodland buffer established in RSA 483-B:9, V, (b) (2) (A). Therefore, the granting of a permit is prohibited by RSA 483-8:3,
