IX. SUMMARY
This project is for the construction of an addition to an existing manufacturing building in
Northampton Industrial Park. The existing lot is constrained by wetlands, however,the applicant
has worked diligently to reduce these impacts. Wetlands are protected from sedimentation and
erosion through the use of erosion control barriers. Wetlands that are proposed to be filled will
be replicated at a rate of 1.2 to 1,replication area to disturbed wetlands. Stormwater for all new
construction meets the stormwater policy by removing 80% of the Total Suspended Solids.
Stormwater runoff from the existing parking lot will be improved with the installation of 2 deep
sump hooded catch basin. Without the expansion of this building,the business will need to seek
a new location.

The entire upland area on the property will be utilized to the maximum extent allowed under
zoning to accommodate the proposed addition and required support facilities, such as parking
and the stormwater management system. Additional parking required by the addition will be
located between the proposed building and Industrial Drive, while maintaining the existing
parking area, which also will serve to allow tractor trailer trucks to access the building. A
detention basin is proposed in the northern corner of the lot, and will discharge water to the
wetland replication area. From there,the water will flow through the existing wetland system
around the back of the building before flowing off the property to the southeast.
E. Stormwater Management
This project is a combination redevelopment and new construction. A series of Best
Management Practices are proposed for this project. All roof runoff will be directly infiltrated
through two infiltration basins located on the southwest and northeast sides of the building. The
new parking lot area will be graded so that runoff will discharge into a deep sump hooded catch
basin with oil-water separators before discharging into the forebay of the detention basin located
in the north corner of the property. During construction,before the site is stabilized,this
detention basin will serve as a sedimentation basin to collect silt and sediment from the parking
area. The detention basin will be cleaned of sediments before going on line.
Stormwater from the existing parking area,the portion of the project that is considered to be
redevelopment, currently flows off the parking lot and into the adjacent wetlands. With this
Notice of Intent,the applicant proposes to regrade the parking lot to discharge into two deep
sump hooded catch basins. These catch basin will remove oil and 25% of the TSS before
discharging to the infiltration ditch to the southwest of the building. This infiltration ditch may
overflow into the adjacent wetlands during periods of high precipitation.
VIII. RESTORATION AND PLANTING PLAN
There are two areas of disturbance within the wetland resource area. An area of 225 square feet
will be impacted through the installation of the drain line from the parking lot catch basins (#2
and 3)to the infiltration trench behind the building. A second area of impact, 705 square feet,
will be caused by the construction of the western corner of the building. Both of these areas are
proposed to be replicated in the wetland replication area adjacent to the property line. The
proposed replication area is 1,150 square feet in size. In addition, approximately 190 square feet
of the disturbed area for the drain line further than five feet from the building foundation will be
revegetated as wetland.

Restoration Mix for Detention Basins, available from New England Wetland Plants, or
equivalent, and then covered with a biodegradable erosion control blanket(BonTerra ENCS2, or
equivalent) to stabilize the slopes and to hold the seed until germination(see Figure 5). The
proposed detention basin on site will be roughed out at the beginning of the site grading work
and will serve as sedimentation areas with runoff from the site being directed toward the basin
before the site is stabilized. This will further ensure that no sedimentation will occur in wetlands
during construction. These basins will be cleaned of silt and sediment that collect during the
construction phase, before being placed "on line".
D. Proposed Work
The current building of approximately 3,800 square feet is proposed to be enlarged to a total of
10,070 square feet(see Site Plan). Most of the building and construction will occur within the
upland area on the site with only the western corner of the building extending into the wetlands.
An area of approximately five feet in width of upland will need to be maintained adjacent to the
proposed building to maintain stability of the footings, and provide an acceptable slope into the
wetlands. All impacted wetlands are proposed to be replicated on site along the northwestern
property line.

IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A. Purpose
The purpose of the proposed work is to construct an addition to the existing manufacturing
building and expand its office space. Wetland impacts have been kept to a minimum by
reconfiguring the proposed addition and its associated parking. A small portion of the proposed
addition to the building will fall within Bordering Vegetated Wetland. These wetlands are
proposed to be replicated to between Bay State Machine Co., and the Self Storage units near the
northwest property line. They will receive outflow from the proposed detention basin. Finally,
a stormwater plan has been developed which meets the standards of 1996 DEP stormwater
policy.
B. Timing
It is anticipated that the applicant will begin construction immediately upon the receipt of all City
and State approvals and permits. Construction of the foundation and infrastructure is proposed to
begin during late fall in 1999.
An erosion and sedimentation control barrier consisting of double staked haybales will be
installed prior to any other work on the site. This will serve as a limit of work line;as well as
protecting the wetland against sedimentation. This will remain in place until construction is
completed and the site is stabilized with vegetation.
C. Sedimentation &Erosion Control
Sedimentation and erosion control barriers will be installed prior to any construction activities
on site at the limit of work line (see Site Plan, prepared by Killam Associates). The barrier will
consist of a line of double staked haybales in front of silt fence (AMOCO 2122 or equivalent),
both dug into the ground 4 to 6 inches to prevent underflow(see Figure 4). All sedimentation
and erosion control barriers will be left in place and maintained in good working condition until
all disturbed soil has been stabilized with vegetation. All disturbed buffer zone upland soils will
be seeded with a non-invasive upland seed mix,New England Erosion Control/Restoration Mix
for dry sites, available from New England Wetland Plants, or equivalent (see Table 1 below).
This seed mix contains several native grass species which may be mown, or allowed to naturalize
the disturbed areas. The slopes throughout the site are not excessively steep, with two
exceptions. The first is within the detention basin, which has slopes in excess of 3:1 slope. This
area is to be loamed to a depth of 10", seeded with the New England Erosion Control/

III DESCRIPTION OF WETLANDS
A. Overview of Wetlands
The following wetland resource areas were found on the property:
► Bordering Vegetated Wetlands; and
► Bank.
There was no Land Under Waterway or Water Body, Bordering Land Subject to Flooding,
Isolated Land Subject to Flooding,Riverfront Area, or Isolated Vegetated Wetlands.During
May, 1999,New England Environmental,Inc., (NEE) flagged the edge of BVW with orange and
black stripped flagging tape. The flags delineating the edge of BVW were numbered A-1
through A-9.
There are no known rare wetlands wildlife,vernal pools or high priority sites of rare species
habitat, for this site according to the Massachusetts Natural Heritage Atlas, 1997-98 Edition(see
Figure 2). In addition,NEE has reviewed the site location on the Flood Insurance Rate Map for
the City of Northampton, Community-Panel Number 250167 0002 A, 1978 (see Figure 3).
C. Bordering Vegetated Wetlands
The Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVW)on this property consist of a wooded swamp. The
over story is dominated by Red Maple,Acer rubrum (FAC), Smooth Alder,Alnus serrulata
(OBL), and Gray Birch,Betula populifolia (FAC)with some Aspen,Populus tremuloides
(FACU). A grape vine, Vitis riparia(FACW), is found throughout the site. The shrub layer was
dominated with Silky Dogwood, Cornus amomum (FACW), while the herbaceous layer included
Jewelweed,Impatiens capensis (FACW) and Sensitive Fern, Onoclea sensibilis (FACW). There
is a small intermittent stream that crosses the property near the back lot line. This stream was
running at the time of NEE's delineation. This wetland resource area has an one hundred foot
Buffer Zone associated with it.
C. Bank
This wetland resource area is associated with the small intermittent stream that crosses the lot
near the back line. There is no work proposed in the vicinity of this intermittent stream or its
bank.

I. INTRODUCTION
This Notice of Intent is for the construction of additional manufacturing and office space at Bay
State Machine Co. in Northampton. Most of the proposed expansion will lie within the Buffer
Zone to Bordering Vegetated Wetlands, with a small area of the proposed building expansion
within the Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVW). This Notice of Intent and the accompanying
site plans have been designed to minimize the potential wetland alterations. A stormwater
management plan has been designed which incorporates infiltration for the roof ninoff, and deep
sump catch basins and a wet detention basin to treat stormwater runoff. The stormwater
management plan designed for this project exceeds the.80%removal of Total Suspended Solids
required by the DEP stormwater policy.
Calculation of Filing Fees
This proposed project is for the construction of an addition to an existing manufacturing building
in the Northampton Industrial Park. The filing fees have been calculated to be$560.00. This
project includes one category 3(b)activity,for the construction of an addition to the existing
manufacturing building which falls within Buffer Zone and Bordering Vegetated Wetlands and
has a filing fee of$525.00, under the Wetlands Protection Act. This fee includes site
preparation, the detention basins,parking lots,utilities, and points source discharge. Of this fee,
$250.00 is allocated to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and$275.00 to the City of
Northampton. The City of Northampton has an additional filing fee under its wetlands ordinance
of$35.00, for a total of$310.00,which is enclosed.
II SITE DESCRIPTION
The site is located at 76 Industrial Drive,the present location of the Bay State Machine Co. The
current building is approximately 3,800 square feet with a parking area to the southeast of the
building. The area behind the building consists almost.entirely of wooded wetlands. Most of the
remaining lot around the building is maintained as lawn, with the exception of property line
between Bay State Machine and the self-storage units which is also forested.

Operation flMaintenance Plan
Bay State Machine Co.
Proposed Building Expansion
Project No. 51227.0002
The following Operation and Maintenance Plan is provided for proper maintenance and
inspection of the proposed drainage facilities by the property owner as the sites' responsible
party:
Dry Wells:
• Inspect the dry well after every major storm for the first few months to ensure proper
stabilization and function. Thereafter, inspect them at least once per year. Water
levels should be recorded over several days to check the dry well drainage.
Deep Sump Catch Basin:
• Inlets should be cleaned a minimum of four times per year and inspected monthly.
• All sediments and hydrocarbons should be properly handled and disposed, in
accordance with local, state and federal guidelines and regulations.
Sediment Forebay:
• Forebay should-be cleaned four times per year and inspected monthly.
• All sediments and hydrocarbons should be handled properly and disposed in accordance
with local, state and federal guidelines and regulations.
Detention Basin:
• Basin area should be inspected at least semi-annually, and maintenance: and repairs
made as necessary. Additional inspections should be scheduled during; the first few
months to make sure the vegetation becomes adequately established. Repairs and re-
seeding should be done as required.
• At least twice during the growing season the upper-stage, side slopes, embankment,
and emergency spillway should be mowed, and accumulated trash and debris removed.
• Grass clippings should be removed. The grass must not be cut too often or shorter
than four inches, in order to maintain the effectiveness of the swale.
• Sediment and debris should be removed manually, at least once per year, before the
vegetation is adversely impacted.
• Care should be taken to protect the basin from snow removal and disposal practices and
off street parking.

RE: Notice of Intent for Expansion of Existing Manufacturing Building
78 Industrial Drive
NEE file 99-1598
Dear Members of the Commission:
This Notice of Intent is filed on behalf of Bay State Machine Co. at 78 Industrial Drive in the
Northampton Industrial Park. The existing building at Bay State Machine is insufficient for the
needs of the company. Bay State Machine is proposing to constrict an addition to the existing
building that will consist of both manufacturing and office space. The total additional space will
be approximately 6,350 square feet.
Bordering Vegetated Wetlands lie behind the existing building, and some %work will take place
with the Nvetlands. All disturbed wetland areas are being replicated on site at a proposed ratio of
1.2 : 1, replication area to disturbed BVW. In addition, stormwater runoff from the site will meet
the stormwater standards set forth in the Stormwater Management Policy of 1996.
The project is determined to be Category 3 (b). The total filing fee for the project has been
calculated to be $525.00, under the Wetlands Protection Act, with an additional filing fee of
$35.00 under the City of Northampton Wetlands Ordinance. A check for 5310.00 for the City of
Northampton is enclosed; a check for$250.00 has been sent to the DEP Lock Box for the state's
share of the filing fee.
Thank you for reviewing this filing. If the Commission would like to schedule a site visit prior
the hearing, please contact our office.
Sincerely yours,
