Checklist for Review of Activities in the Riverfront Area
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) neconmiends that conservation commissioners consider the following
checklist of questions when reviewing lnfornmtion provided b applicants in the Notice of Intent Supplemental Form for
Riverboat Area. For more information, refer to the "Guidance for Implementation ofthe River's Protection Act Amend-
ments to the Wetlands Protection Act" issued by DEP in November 1996.

[Notes The filing of the Notice of Intent and the Supplemental Form for Riverfront Area assumes the project is
subject to the Wetlands Protection Act- If the proposed work is exempt or grandfathered from the Rivers Protection
Act, follow standard NOI review procedures for other wetland resource areas.]
� Application of performance standards
No practicable alternatives:
7'he goal ofevaluoung project alternatives is to identify any options for locating a project so that impacts to the Rivermant
Area are avoided or minimized. In planning a project, the applicant must consider different options that would meet ibis
goal. Alternatives that would result in greater or equal adverse impacts should not be evaluated. When reviewing project
alternatives, consider: "

DEP has determined that the scope of altenufives considered should reflect the size and type ofpabect, and has estab-
lished guidelines which .spell out the required range ofaltenmaves for consideration based on project ripe. For example:
for er single family hone on a lot that rusted ens ofAugust 1, 1996, the alternatives would be different locafions on the lot,
for a small commercial project such as a coffee shop, the alternatives ,should consider currently so-formerly owned adja-
cent lots as well as different locations and designs on the lot. Use the guidelines attached to the checklist to verify that the
correct project categoq was selected surd the appropriate scope ofaltenmtive.s was considered
Has the applicant done an appropriate alternatives analysis based on the project purpose? — Not in L )ri }roq .

❑ Are any alternatives practicable?
• Are any alternatives technically feasible (i.c, arc they possible given the physical site conditions
or local zoning requirements)? -
• Do any alternatives increase the cost of the project? Is the increase in cost reasonable for that
type of applicant in general, not the applicant in particular? For example, is the added cost of an
alternative reasonable to expect for a builder of a single I ily home, not for Mrs. Hanson or Mr.

4 Practicable alternatives with less adverse impacts must be selected. If a practicable alternative
would have no identifiable difference in impact, the proposed project rather than the alternative
should be allowed, but the no significant adverse impact standard (see below) must still be met.

4 If the project meets these criteria and there are no practicable alternatives, the project
should be approved with any necessary conditions.
Certain types of activities evacuated on a case -by -case basis may not be able to meet the criteria above and yet still ons)'
have no significant adverse impacts on the Riverfront Area These projects may include footpaths, minor landscaping or
redevelopment of a previously developed site. As with other aspects of the Wetlands Protection Act, the issuing authority
has the discretion to make decisions on a case -bv -case basis. This step involves an assessment of the applicant's demon
stmtion that the project will have no .significant adverse impact even though one or more of the criteria were not met

5. Amount of alteration in Riverfront Area:
a. If Riverfront Area is 200 feet wide, identlfv amount of alteration
0 square feet of Inner Riparian Zone (1 -100 feet from river)
+21,000 square feet of Outer Riparian Zone (100 -200 feet from river) (septic system & house
ronstntction)
b. If Riverfront Area is 25 feet wide, identify amount of alteration:
square feet of Inner Riparian Zone (0-15 feet from river)
6. Describe why the proposed project needs to be located in the Riverfront Area.
Address the fallowing questions in your answer.
• Can the project be moved out of the Riverfront Area? Can the project be located further away from the
river or stream? If not, why?
• How do costs and logistical constraints (e.g., physical site conditions, local zoning requirements) limit
the alternatives?
♦ What alternatives were considered?
The house and septic system have been located to maximize the distance away from the brook area (100
and 200 foot riverfront setbacks) and the Bordering Vegetated Wetlands. There is no other feasible
location on the parcel to locate the house and septic system and meet zoning, topographic, grading, and
permitting requirements.
(Else additional pages if necessanj.)
7. Does the proposed project meet the criteria for no significant adverse impacts?
a. Check criteria that apply.
M meets performance standards for all other wetland resource areas
M undisturbed vegetation in the 100-foot Inner Riparian Zone (15 feet in 25 -foot Riverfront Area)
❑ alteration in the 100.foot Omer Riparian Zone limited to 5,000 square feet or 20% of zone, whichever
is greater'
❑ meets performance standards for stormwater management**
*This performance standard is waived for the 10-foot Outer Riparian Zone when the Riverfront Area
is 25 feet.
** Stormwater management is not required for single family houses and small subdivision projects as
described in the Department's Stormwater Management Policy.
b. Is the project site located in estimated rare species habitat or in a certified vernal pool as noted on the
Massachusetts Natural Heritage Atlas? yes X no (See Section 7)
If yes, has a copy of the Notice of Intent and this form been sent to the Natural Heritage and
Endangered Species Program according to Notice instructions? yes no
If any of the criteria listed in (a) above are not met, describe why the project will have no significant adverse
impacts on the Riverfront Area. (Note: for single family house projects on lots recorded as of August 1, 1996,
which cannot meet the performance standards, describe how the project minimizes all impacts)
