1.0 INTRODUCTION AND VISION The City of New Bedford is developing planning and design recommendations for the New Bedford River Walk, a multiuse path adjacent to the west bank of the upper Acushnet River (Figure 1: Overall Concept Plan). This report serves as an update to the 2015 New Bedford Riverwalk Planning and Design feasibility study prepared for the City of New Bedford, Massachusetts Environmental Stewardship, by BSC Group and Shadley Associates. This Feasibility Study Update was also informed by the Acushnet River Upland Riparian Restoration Project (Appendix C).

construction sequence may change in the future. Conceptual cost estimates of each trail segment, and permitting requirements are also provided.

River Walk Development Proponents The New Bedford River Walk is being advanced through the efforts of the City of New Bedford, the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs and several state agencies. Federal agencies are involved in the remediation of the Superfund site.

Anticipated future completion of the remediation of the Acushnet River and the adjacent intertidal area has led the City of New Bedford to plan for public enhancements to the shoreline area of the upper Acushnet, including the River Walk. The River Walk will serve as the culmination of the City’s efforts to restore the Acushnet River and its adjacent shoreline into a safe and positive community amenity, encouraging passive recreational opportunities along the banks of the Acushnet River for city residents and visitors. The River Walk project is an opportunity to construct a linear park that will offer more access to the City’s waterfront and may offer a short-term benefit in the form of a modest buffer to rising sea levels.

City of New Bedford: Leading the overall River Walk coordination efforts, public engagement, and the acquisition of needed property easements. New Bedford Harbor Trustees Council (NBHTC): Agreed to provide up to $2.9 million of New Bedford Harbor Natural Resource Damage funds, subject to certain conditions being met. The NRD funds must be used for ecological restoration. Resource Damage (NRD) monies designated for the Acushnet River Upland Riparian Restoration Project. The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), acting through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), acting through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, acting through the EOEEA and represented by MassDEP, collectively serve as the NBHTC, and are responsible for addressing the natural resource injuries that resulted from the contamination of the sediments, water column and biota in the New Bedford Harbor from PCBs as a result of industrial discharges to the Harbor.

The intent of this report is to assist the City of New Bedford by providing a more focused River Walk development plan. Included is an updated trail alignment based on observations of existing topographic and structural site constraints and known hazardous materials sites. The proposed trail alignment is also informed by future flooding conditions and coastal storm risk level data gathered for this study. The trail alignment also takes advantage of opportunities to incorporate intertidal and upland restoration areas and passive recreation areas.

U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Managing the remediation of the New Bedford Harbor Superfund site, responsible for remediation of New Bedford Harbor and the Acushnet River and intertidal area.

As displayed on Figure 1, the River Walk has been previously divided into 12 segments. To maintain continuity with previous studies, this report continues to evaluate the River Walk according to these segments. This report also recommends River Walk phases, i.e., adjacent segments built concurrently, and phased construction sequencing. Based on evolving conditions, the make-up of the River Walk phases and the

Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA): Funding and participating in the review of this study and, as funds are available, may contribute some funding to the design and construction of the River Walk and associated features.

Land Uses

85-acre city-owned Brooklawn Park features playing fields, walking trails, grassed and wooded lawn areas. Riverside Park, at the southern end of the River Walk corridor, is an approximately 20 acre city-owned park featuring playing fields, walking trails, raised gardens, children’s play area, and grassed areas. Immediately south of Riverside Park is EPA’s fenced Sawyer Street facility which serves as a staging area for the New Bedford Harbor Superfund Site remediation program (See Figure 2: Regional Context and Study Area and Figure 4: Existing Environmental Resources). The Sawyer Street Facility is owned by the City and leased to EPA.

The study area is adjacent to numerous historic mill buildings, with some recently converted to residential apartments and others remaining in industrial or commercial uses or awaiting redevelopment. Existing buildings may be removed in the future. Figure 3: River Walk Parcels and Year Built presents parcel boundaries and year built for selected properties in the study area. Property ownership for these parcels can be found in Table 1. The Table also indicates those properties upon which an easement will be needed for River Walk construction. At the edge of New Bedford’s urban North End sits The Acushnet Sawmill, a 19-acre former industrial lumber yard on the Acushnet River. The Sawmill is part of the growing Acushnet River Reserve, which also includes LaPalme Farm, Hamlin Crossing, and P.J. Keating Woods. Moving southerly from this northern mouth of the river is Rivers End Park, the northern terminus proposed for River Walk. West of the River Walk corridor are large areas of densely developed residential neighborhoods, consisting predominantly of multifamily homes. Approximately 1/3-mile west of the River Walk, the

The study area is rich in Historic Resources and is the home of numerous large textile mills and associated structures constructed in the late 19th and early 20th century. Many of these structures have been individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places and are included in National Register-listed Historic Districts. Further, within the study area, the Manomet Mills and Whitman Mills complexes are designated as National Register-listed Historic Districts (See Figure 6: Historic Resources).

After project boundaries have been negotiated and construction plans are underway, the City of New Bedford will be responsible for obtaining landholder agreements for construction access and permanent easements as necessary to implement the River Walk. The Right-of-Way for the River Walk will vary in width as the path meanders along the shoreline. Some of the required easements will probably end up being wider than the 25-foot wide easement described in the prior Feasibility Study.

Protection Act (310 CMR 10.00), the New Bedford Wetlands Protection Ordinance, and the federal Clean Water Act. The Acushnet River is tidally influenced and relatively saline despite freshwater inputs from upstream and the tidal restriction at the mouth of New Bedford Harbor (Hurricane Barrier). In the River Walk study area, the River is often bordered by narrow bands (25- to 75-feet wide) of vegetated wetlands including salt marsh and Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVW) (Figure 4: Existing Environmental Resources). The River Walk study area is also within the FEMA 100-year floodplain of the Acushnet River (Figure 5: FEMA Floodplain), known as Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act. Additional Coastal Wetland Resource Areas are located along and beneath the river including Coastal Bank, Land Under the Ocean, and Land Containing Shellfish. The river provides habitat for anadromous fish including river herring. There are no eelgrass beds mapped in the vicinity of the project.

Further development and discussion of construction access easements and conservation easement restriction agreements between the City of New Bedford, the Trustees, and private landholders will be required during the design process for the River Walk. Access, inspection and enforcement rights will be described in these documents and will be reviewed by all parties participating in the project. In order to reach agreement with the landowners, they should be fully informed about the impact to their property as well as their rights of use while the construction project is underway and after the land is encumbered by a conservation easement. The acquisition of conservation restrictions will be beneficial for the long-term protection of the ecological restoration areas.

The segment Acushnet River (MA95-33) adjacent to the River Walk has been designated in the Massachusetts 2016 Integrated List of Waters report as a Category 5 Impaired Waterway. Category 5 designation identifies waters requiring the preparation of a TMDL study. This designation has been assigned due to the presence in the river of various pollutants, including debris, trash, color, dissolved oxygen, enterococcus, fecal coliform, metals total oxygen, nutrients, odor, oil and gasses, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) .

At this time, the precise number and extent of the ROW easements that will be required for construction of the River Walk segments are not known. New topographical mapping and final design will be needed in order to advance the plans that must accompany these documents.

It is worth noting that the extent of flooding during a 1% storm event (100-year storm), forecast by FEMA as depicted on Figure 5: FEMA Floodplain, differs from the extent of flooding based on analysis using the Massachusetts Coast Flood Risk Model (MC-FRM) for the upper Acushnet River as depicted on Figure 9: MA-FRM Probability of Inundation (2030,2050,2070) because of the different methods used to develop this data.

Environmental Resources The following sections describe the existing natural and social environmental resources in the study area. Environmental Resources in the study area include the Acushnet River and associated Wetland Resource Areas subject to protection under the Massachusetts Wetlands

View of the Acushnet River from the proposed River Walk.

The EPA is managing remediation efforts in the area.

Open Space parcels in the study area include Riverside Park. At the southern end of the River Walk corridor, Riverside Park is an approximately 20-acre city owned park featuring playing fields, walking trails, raised gardens, children’s play area, and lawns.

The following environmental resource designations are not present in the study area:

• Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC), • Outstanding Resource Waters, and • Priority / Estimated Habitats of Rare Species.

• •

New Bedford Harbor Superfund Site The upper Acushnet River is within the New Bedford Harbor Superfund site, which was historically contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and heavy metals. New Bedford Harbor, extending to the Upper Acushnet River, has been the subject of an ongoing remediation effort led by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Construction of the River Walk cannot proceed until remediation of the Acushnet River and adjacent intertidal areas are complete.

funding. It could be completed in 2023. Segment 10 of the River Walk is in West Zone 2 and passes the Titleist building. The northern part of Segment 9 is also in West Zone 2. West Zone 3 remediation is subject to the availability of EPA funding. It could be completed in 2023. The southern part of Segment 9 and all of Segment 8 are in West Zone 3. West Zone 4 remediation is subject to the availability of EPA funding. It could be completed in 2024. Segment 6 and Segment 7 are in West Zone 4. West Zone 5 remediation is subject to the availability of EPA funding. It could be completed in 2024. Segment 4 and Segment 5 are in West Zone 4. The Sawyer Street Facility is leased to the EPA by the City of New Bedford until 2026. Segment 2 is within the limits of the Sawyer Street Facility property limits.

Hazardous Materials Sites Contaminant Approach Currently the shoreline is undergoing active cleanup in New Bedford’s Upper Harbor. Once the EPA finishes their cleanup efforts, the exposed soil along the shoreline in the footprint of the clean-up effort will be verified to be safe. This approach does not, however, address the possibility of contamination upland of the clean-up effort. Industrial waterfronts commonly present a challenge when being converted to public use. Many of the upland areas on either side of the trail that may not have been remediated and that are intended to be open to public access may need to be capped or remediated.

Remediation of the upper Acushnet River has been on-going for several years and significant progress has been made. Most of the river channel remediation is complete within the study area from the Wood Street Bridge south to Coggeshall Street. However, remediation of much of the intertidal area within the River Walk study area has not yet been completed. Remediation of the intertidal area is scheduled to be completed by 2026. However, that schedule is contingent upon the availability of funding.

In this section of the report, Stantec’s LSP suggests that areas outside of the footprint of the EPA cleanup zone will need to undergo rigorous examination. The typical approach to capping contaminants on industrial sites is outlined below, and in some places may require 2- 3-feet of fill with geotextile fabric and a barrier marker before public use is advisable.

The 12 Riverfront Segments and the five EPA remediation zones (West Zones) are delineated on the Figure 7: EPA Remediation Zones, Schedule and Proposed Phasing. The conceptual schedule for the completion of river and intertidal area remediation is based on the currently proposed potential schedule.

Furthermore, the approach to shoreline stabilization, as will be discussed in Section 1.3, will need to be incorporated into the site-by-site plan for addressing contaminants on site, as the newly capped, clean shoreline is currently at risk of eroding in this dynamic coastal environment.

• West Zone 1 remediation is scheduled for completion in

2020. Segment 12 of the River Walk is in EPA West Zone 1.

• West Zone 2 remediation is subject to the availability of EPA 11

Environmental Conditions Associated with Releases of Oil and Hazardous Materials

Portions of the River Walk and ecological restoration construction is planned for areas that are outside of EPA work zones. A focused examination of information related to the presence and type of hazardous materials in those locations would need to be done to determine construction and soil management needs. Given the historic industrial nature of the area and MassDEP and EPA disposal sites, the potential exists for all soil along the River Walk to potentially be impacted by Oil and Hazardous Materials (OHM). As noted above, the known locations of PCB and heavy metals contamination in the Acushnet River and adjacent shoreline are under ongoing remediation (or future remediation is planned).

The following section presents information related to the existing known hazardous materials release sites and information related to management of soils during construction of the River Walk and associated features. The potential exists for contaminants to be present along the entire length of the River Walk due to the area’s history of urbanization and industrial/commercial activities. Contaminants associated with urban fill include petroleum hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals. PAHs are formed during the incomplete burning of organic material historically associated with human activities such as cooking and heating. Coal and wood ash are also historically present which also contain naturally occurring heavy metals.

Soil analytical testing to characterize soils in areas of unknown soil quality should be conducted in anticipation of Health and Safety protocol and potential disposal requirements prior to any significant earth moving activities. It is anticipated that project design will seek to balance cut and fill volumes to minimize the potential for off-site disposal of soil. The implementation of a Health and Safety Plan and a Soil Management Plan is recommended for construction activities.

There are 17 known Release Tracking Numbers (RTN’s) associated with Disposal Sites identified by Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) as locations where releases of oil and/or hazardous materials (OHM) have occurred which are proximal to the River Walk. Contaminants include petroleum hydrocarbons, PAHs, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and heavy metals (Figure 8: Hazardous Materials Sites and Table 2: Hazardous Materials Sites, Release Tracking Numbers).

The elevation of the trail is anticipated to be generally 1.0to 2.0-feet higher than the existing ground elevation. To achieve this elevation, it may be possible to utilize a haul road tentatively proposed by EPA to provide a means to remove remediation material from the study area. If a haul road is not implemented, material suitable for a trail subbase would be brought onto the site to create the desired elevation. In either scenario, off-site soil disposal is minimized.

Of the 17 OHM disposal sites listed on Table 2, 13 are closed with 10 of these having closure through a Response Action Outcome (RAO) or Permanent Solution with Conditions (PSC). Two of the remaining sites are continuing under Tier I or Tier 2 compliance, one site had the RAO statement retracted and the compliance status of the final site is unclassified.

Procedures should be implemented to minimize dust generation during construction and stockpiling of soils. Any soils generated for off-Site disposal during construction activities should be properly characterized and disposed of by the contractor.

The River Walk borders the Acushnet River which is included in the New Bedford EPA Superfund Site where sediment has been impacted by PCBs and heavy metals. The U.S. EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have been conducting remediation actions in the harbor and along the Acushnet River and its shoreline. Further cleanup along the shoreline is anticipated which would include soil/sediment excavation and backfilling with clean material. The timing of future cleanup activities will depend on EPA project funding each year. Groundwater dewatering or exposures are not considered likely during construction.

Future Risk Management Considerations Future use of the River Walk for recreational activities requires consideration of potential exposures to Oil and Hazardous Materials (OHM) by its users. Pursuant to MassDEP regulations, soils that are present within the top three feet must meet MassDEP risk characterization as ‘posing no significant risk for recreational use’. Soil below pavement is also factored into risk characterization standards.

Project Construction and Soil Management

Although there is no formal MassDEP policy, guidance has been provided regarding construction practices and potential risk mitigation measures to avoid exposure through recreational use where walkways have been constructed on MassDEP disposal sites in other regions. Soil characterization is warranted where soils will remain open and accessible to users of the River Walk. Investigation efforts will determine if soils meet appropriate risk characterization standards.

The River Walk construction schedule is contingent upon the performance and completion of EPA remediation activities at the Acushnet River. It is anticipated that following construction of a haul road and shoreline remediation by EPA, that construction of the River Walk can proceed. At that time, the nature and extent of soil quality will need to be quantified.

MassDEP should be consulted during the planning process about the combined use of clean fill and geotextile fabric. In locations where the River Walk will be constructed of pavement, placement of one (1.0) foot of clean fill overlying a geotextile fabric is recommended. If the River Walk is placed on the EPA haul road, walkway construction may include

Although there are DEP exemptions for background concentrations of urban fill materials associated with coal and wood ash, their presence presents a need for soil management and future exposure concerns.

20


measures consistent with this approach. Ideally, where soils will be exposed for passive recreational activities, three (3.0) feet of clean fill overlying a geotextile fabric is appropriate. If a more sophisticated geotextile fabric with a marker barrier is used, then it may be possible to overlay that barrier with two (2.0) feet of clean fill instead of three (3.0) feet. This process would be most appropriate where OHM is identified and there is a need to manage potential user exposures following completion. This process would not need to be implemented where soil impacts have not been identified. Status A review of MassDEP disposal sites has been performed for the project corridor. Any proposed construction areas should be reviewed in detail relative to existing disposal sites and site history in order to determine an appropriate soil sampling strategy to address soil management and future risk considerations.

Remediation and restoration efforts are in progress.

1.2 Climate Risk and Resiliency Planning

for many building professionals and government agencies, there are many resources available as references with helpful information on how cities and government agencies are adapting their practices for a changing climate. The resources that have been published by New York City Parks Department post-Hurricane Sandy are of particular relevance in examining regionally appropriate lessons learned from real events for addressing municipal climate preparedness.

Urban coastal construction occurs at a crossroads where many of the most complicated effects of climate change meet: inland flooding converges at the low point of the waterfront, daily tides rise to affect shorelines in new ways, and the coastal edge is subject to storm-related flooding. These forces can interact differently, depending on the nature of each storm event, to create different patterns of effect across the built environment. New Bedford Harbor is currently protected from storm surge because of the Army Corps of Engineer’s Hurricane Barrier which sits about three miles south of the River Walk site at the mouth of the harbor. Modeling from the Woods Hole Group indicates that both sea level rise and coastal storms will begin to affect the Upper Harbor in new and challenging ways in the coming decades, despite the presence of the Hurricane Barrier.

Climate Resilience and Risk Resources NYC Mayor’s Office of Recovery and Resiliency Climate Resiliency Design Guidelines Updated in March 2019, this is the most recent and relevant document for municipal capital planning with consideration for increased heat, precipitation, and sea level rise. Contrary to what the title suggests, this guide is less about design, and more about helping the city decide how to determine when and how to approach construction in climate risk zones.

As many of the following documents attest, the act of creating new construction in the coastal floodplain is now understood to require a specialized planning approach that starts with a close consideration of the risks, continues with a careful consideration of existing resources and shoreline conditions, and ends in a cost-benefit analysis for the funding entities (for example, see the planning process checklist on page 55 of NYC Parks and Recreation’s Design and Planning for Flood Resiliency). When construction is deemed appropriate and feasible, a flood-resistant set of design construction guidelines become crucial for achieving a long-lasting public resource.

https://www1.nyc.gov/site/orr/index.page NYC Parks + Recreation Design and Planning for Flood Resiliency This document is a useful Post Hurricane Sandy reference for planning and building public amenities in high risk, flood prone areas. This resource offers guidelines for first understanding risks, and then designing resources where appropriate and feasible, with these risks in mind.

Though Climate Adaptation is a relatively new consideration

https://www.nycgovparks.org/planning-and-building/planning/ resiliency-plans/flood-resiliency NYC Parks + Recreation High Performance Landscape Guidelines – 21st Century Parks for NYC

PLANNING PROCESS CHECKLIST

New York City’s pre-Sandy approach to addressing Climate Change, focuses mainly on urban heat island effect and stormwater infrastructure overburdened by greater storm intensity and frequency. Although dated in its pre-Sandy climate considerations that do not include storm surge challenges, there are some helpful best practices on inland stormwater management (an often underestimated part of the storm preparation equation) in Part IV, and Restoration Landscape Case Studies in Part V with very valuable lessons learned from built projects.

1.3 Future Flooding and Storm Surge Conditions

Determine if communities can benefit from park-based coastal protection measures

Future flooding conditions and coastal storm risk level data were gathered for this study based on analysis using the Massachusetts Coast Flood Risk Model (MC-FRM) for the upper Acushnet River area for the years 2030, 2050, and 2070.

Consider conducting a costbenefit analysis

The tidal benchmarks (MLW, MTL, MHW, MHHW) assume the New Bedford Hurricane Barrier is open under present day and future typical weather conditions. *“Storm (10-yr, 50-yr, 100-yr) return periods values assume the New Bedford Hurricane Barrier would be closed to limit storm surge-based flooding in the Acushnet River estuary. The model also assumes the Hurricane Barrier does not fail and functions as intended. However, some storms will overtop the Hurricane Barrier in 2050, and even more storms will overtop the Hurricane Barrier in 2070. This overtopping is included in the modeling and assessment of the estuary upstream of the Hurricane Barrier. The Hurricane Barrier, while overtopped, does still reduce the peak flood levels in the estuary.” (Woods Hole Group).

In December 2019, the Woods Hole Group provided data (tidal benchmarks and storm return periods) generated by the MC-FRM. This data was developed to enable the City of New Bedford to develop conceptual adaptation strategies and design climate change adaptation plans for the River Walk. These flood risk models are used as the state standard and align with state regulatory requirements consistent with the state-based climate projections.

Based on these future flooding conditions, coastal storm risk level data, desired project life and reliability of projection data, a focus on the 2050 year projections was selected. The uncertainties of flooding conditions beyond 2050 precluded assigning a design life beyond 2050. This data also informed the selection of a trail elevation no lower than 5.0 – 5.5 NAVD881 which may provide the longest feasible design life for the trail considering sea-level rise projections up to 2050 and offer a short-term benefit in the form of a modest buffer to rising sea levels. It is anticipated that at this elevation, the trail may be inundated during certain flood events.

Tidal benchmarks for the Present Day, 2030, 2050 and 2070 sea level rise and coastal storm simulations are shown on Table 3 below and include Mean Low Water (MLW), Mean Tide Level (MTL), Mean High Water (MHW), Mean High High Water (MHHW), 10-year flood, 50-year flood and 100-year flood and are based on the assumption that the New Bedford Hurricane Barrier is open under present day and future non-storm conditions.

After 2050, a re-evaluation of the alignment of the River Walk will likely be required, as a better understanding of harbor conditions, the continued proper functioning of the hurricane barrier, and sea level rise projections for 2070 and 2100 come into sharper relief. While the hurricane barrier is currently functioning properly as a protection against the largest storms and associated wave action, the gates may need to be repaired or replaced by the Army Corps at a future date, as it is currently being closed more often than originally intended due to higher and more frequent high tide conditions. The coastal storm projection numbers depend on the barrier’s presence and proper function, and thus must be considered in future planning exercises.

Figures 9 presents the probability of flood inundation for 2030, 2050, and 2070 and Figure 10 presents flood depths for the 1% annual flood (or 100 year flood event) for 2030, 2050, and 2070. The individual figures included in Figures 9 and 10 are also provided in full-size (11” x 17”) in Appendix A as Figures 9A through 9C and Figures 10A through 10C. This data and mapping demonstrate that in the coming decades, coastal flooding in the study area will become more frequent and more severe.

planning process checklist on page 55). In requesting the creation of the flood maps by Woods Hole Group, the New Bedford River Walk planning process engaged in a detailed topographic review of the site against future sea level rise projections. This guide suggests that the next step is shoreline inspection. This step, in concert with a full site survey after the EPA has completed their cleanup efforts, will help determine the site-by-site approach and likely cost for each of the segments. As is explained in the report, this stage of the process is commonly one of the steps that will illuminate the unseen, or “hidden” costs of construction.

The maps and table provided by Woods Hole Group make clear that the New Bedford Estuary will be experiencing an intensifying amount of coastal flooding over the coming years due to more severe and frequent coastal storms and higher daily tides. Although the planning process for the River Walk has not yet included the investigation for shoreline stabilization needs, a key recommendation of this updated feasibility report is to hire a coastal engineer to conduct a shoreline inventory and recommend a design strategy that is based on future flooding conditions (see planning process checklist below on page 55 of NYC Parks and Recreation’s Design and Planning for Flood Resiliency and shown on page 26 of this report).

2.0 PLANNING GOAL The goal for the New Bedford River Walk project is to construct an ADA-compliant multiuse path along the west bank of the upper Acushnet River in New Bedford, between Coggeshall Street north to Wood Street, that will serve as a safe and positive community amenity, encouraging passive recreational opportunities along the banks of the Acushnet River for city residents and visitors.

3.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS Numerous factors were taken into consideration during the development of these draft recommendations for the alignment and elevation of the River Walk. These factors were balanced in a manner which best met the overall planning goal of the project. Ecological restoration areas and passive recreation areas will be located adjacent to the River Walk.

required easement will be larger than 25-foot wide easement described in the prior Feasibility Study. • The River Walk and all connections will comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). • The River Walk will be a 10-foot wide asphalt surface with 2-foot wide vegetated shoulders and a 6:1 vegetated slope on each side (26-foot wide total cross section). (It is likely that the slope conditions will vary after a new topographic survey is completed and grading plans are developed. The current slope assumptions in this feasibility study update represent a typical slope used for multi-use trails and make it possible to develop costs that will be helpful in future planning and funding efforts.)

Factors The draft recommendations represent a balance of the following factors: • Maximizing restoration of riparian habitat in areas where the • • • • • •

most restoration can be accomplished and in areas that offer the best opportunities for restoration, Minimizing impacts to natural and environmental resources including wetland resources and historic structures/ archaeological sites, Minimizing excavation and transport of soils containing hazardous materials, Avoiding negative impact to existing businesses and residences, Selecting a target trail elevation that will provide the longest feasible design life for the trail considering sea-level rise projections up to 2050 based on MC-FRM data, Understanding costs, and Providing a good quality recreational and transportation amenity.

» 10-feet is the minimum recommended width for a

multi-use trail by the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA’s) Shared Use Path Guidance Document. An 8.0-foot width may be used where trail volumes are expected to be low and with consideration of the potential impact to environmental resource.

• The design elevation will be no lower than 5.0-5.5 NAVD88. • The depth of the River Walk subbase and asphalt surface

will be 12-inches.

» The subbase will consist of clean gravel borrow overlying

a geotextile fabric.

» Outside of the paved surface, where OHM soils will be

exposed for recreational activities, three (3.0) feet of clean fill overlying a geotextile fabric is appropriate. Two (2.0) feet of clean fill may be used in combination with a more sophisticated geotextile fabric with a marker barrier.

Based on the consideration of these design factors, the study team also established a series of assumptions to guide the conceptual design of the River Walk.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITS AND APPROVALS The following sections describe the local, state, and federal environmental permits or approvals that would be required prior to the construction of the River Walk. Conceptual time periods for permit preparation and approval are also provided.

4.1

Mills complexes are designated as National Register-listed Historic Districts. Each River Walk phase will require review by the Massachusetts Historic Commission through a Project Notification Form (PNF). If federal funding is used or approvals are needed, review of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act will be required.

State/Local Environmental Permits

Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (310 CMR 10.00) Notice of Intent

Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act – Environmental Notification Form (MEPA ENF)

All segments will require the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI). The NOI will be required because segments are within the 25-foot Riverfront Area of the Acushnet River and/or within the 100-foot Buffer Zone to Wetland Resource Areas. The Riverfront Area boundary extends 25-feet from the Mean High Water line associated with River. Segments can be combined for permitting or permitted separately.

In compliance with MEPA’s anti-segmentation regulations, all segments of the River Walk must be reviewed as a single project. As a state-funded project and requiring state permits, the project is within MEPA jurisdiction. The project would exceed the MEPA wetlands threshold for the preparation of an ENF (301 CMR 11.01(3)(b) as it would require a Chapter 91 License for a new unlicensed non-water dependent use of waterways or tidelands. ENF preparation and MEPA Certificate issuance period is approximately 3-6 months.

NOI preparation and permit issuance period is approximately 4-5 months.

A Special Review Procedure for MEPA review may be an option and could offer a way to start the process earlier and enable the design team to change/add aspects of the project as it progresses.

New Bedford Wetlands Ordinance Reviewed as part of the Notice of Intent (NOI, the wetlands ordinance has a goal of no work within 25 feet of resource areas. As the Riverfront Area is a wetland resource, the goal would be no work within 50 feet of the riverbank, or within 25 feet of other vegetated wetlands bordering to the River. As this is likely not achievable for some or all segments, the City will need to coordinate early with the Conservation Commission.

Massachusetts Chapter 91 License All River Walk segments would require a Chapter 91 License from the MA Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) because they are within Chapter 91 jurisdictional areas. Based on early coordination with MassDEP, review of existing licenses must occur prior to permitting and segments can be combined for licensing. The license application and issuance period is approximately 9-12 months.

4.2

Federal Environmental Permits

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)– Section 404 permit Required for direct impact to wetland resources under federal jurisdiction or any work below ordinary high water (OHW). The planning-level goal would be to avoid direct impact to wetland resources. An exception may be needed for Segment 11 at the former Aerovox site where a larger Intertidal zone

Massachusetts Historic Commission (MHC)– Chapter 254 Review The River Walk will occur within the boundaries of properties individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Further, within the study area, the Manomet Mills and Whitman

37


could be beneficial. This Segment would require construction period work within federal wetlands. A segment (or groups of segments advanced together as a single project) would qualify for a USACE General Permit #8 – Residential, Commercial, and Institutional Developments, and Recreational Facilities. The permit type required would be either a Self Verification (SV) or Pre-Construction Notification (PCN). The preparation and permit issuance period for a PCN is 3-5 months.

Assuming that there is a ‘federal action (i.e., federal funding or permit), the project will require a ‘federal consistency review’ to ensure the project’s reasonably foreseeable effects on any land or water use or natural resources of the Massachusetts coastal zone is consistent with the MCZM program. MCZM Federal Consistency Review is generally completed as part of the MEPA review process.

Coastal Zone Management Federal Consistency Review The River Walk is located within the jurisdictional area of the Massachusetts Coastal Zone Management (MCZM) Program.

38


5.0 CONCEPTUAL COST ESTIMATES The conceptual cost estimates for the New Bedford River Walk were developed for the purpose of comparing the order-ofmagnitude costs of various segments under consideration. These conceptual cost estimates were developed based on MassDOT’s weighted average bid price application on the MassDOT website; prices for January 2020 were used. An additional 15% of the construction cost was added to account for planning, permitting, and engineering design. All costs were escalated 4.0% annually to the anticipated potential construction year.

relocation, and traffic management. See exclusions for a list of items expressly unaccounted for in these conceptual costs.

Costs Related Hazardous Materials Handling / Disposal As noted Section 1.2, given the historic industrial nature of the area and MassDEP and EPA disposal sites, the potential exists for soil along the River Walk to potentially be impacted by Oil and Hazardous Materials (OHM). Note that the known locations along the River Walk Corridor containing PCB and heavy metal contamination are under ongoing remediation (or future remediation is planned). However, there is the potential to encounter other areas of OHM contamination within the areas planned for the River Walk corridor and ecological restoration.

Gateway Construction Assumptions Costs of the ‘River Walk Gateway’ features were developed for the 2015 New Bedford Riverwalk Planning and Design Feasibility Study. The costs of these gateway feature provided in that study were inflated 4% annually to the 2020 base year.

Prior to completion of a soil characterization program, it is not possible to estimate the volume (and related costs) of OHM material to be removed from the project site. Stantec’s LSP was consulted to gain an understanding of OHM disposal costs. Disposal of OHM contaminated soil (non-PCB) would cost approximately $45 to $85 per Ton. To put this cost in the context of the River Walk, disposal of OHM-contaminated soil for 100 linear feet of trail could cost approximately $13,000 to $24,500. This assumes the removal of OHM soil to a three-foot depth under the entire 26-foot width of the trail and 6:1 embankment. Additionally, until design is completed, the volumes of soil warranting off-site disposal versus on site reuse is unknown. Every effort will be made to minimize any off-site disposal of soil and to reuse soils within the project as appropriate given engineering and environmental requirements.

Trail Construction Assumptions The base cost is for the construction of the trail and side slopes, with 1.0’ increase over the existing grade. Alternate 1 will increase the profile by an additional 0.5 feet and add Alternate 2 will add 1.0’ of height to the profile. It is possible that if the proposed haul road were constructed with the trail in mind, on the intended trail alignment and at the appropriate grade, then a cost savings in clearing, ordinary borrow, and gravel borrow could be realized. Future financial planning would require a more detailed cost estimate based on a higher level of design. For more detail on the information used to generate the costs, please see Appendix B: Conceptual Cost Estimates.

35% Contingency

Exclusions

The 35% contingency added to these conceptual costs is to account for unknown, but not unexpected costs. These could include, but are not limited to: environmental mitigation, utility

These conceptual cost estimates do not include the cost of ancillary features such as a canoe launch, overlook/pier, etc.

39


Before a canoe launch or pier can be designed, permitted or constructed, the City of New Bedford will need to determine whether the Acushnet River can be used safely by the public. Below is a list of other items that are not accounted for at this time:

• Disposal costs of contaminated soil • Fill in capped contamination areas • Shoreline stabilization (Shoreline stabilization needs will

need to be determined on a site by site basis in the site investigation stage with the help of a coastal engineer. In some cases, no stabilization may be required.)

40


6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS AND PHASING Based on consideration of the assumptions, anticipated future flooding conditions, potential environmental permitting requirements, and cost the following draft recommendations were developed to meet the planning goals of the project.

In some cases, the study team suggests moving the River Walk inland, while retaining the locations of the previously proposed ecological restoration zones. By making the ecological restoration zones accessible to maintenance workers and protecting them from the public, maintenance of the plants will be facilitated.

The River Walk has been previously divided into 12 segments. These recommendations are presented as River Walk phases, i.e., adjacent River Walk segments built concurrently. The recommended sequence of the River Walk phases was established based on the EPA intertidal remediation schedule and the perceived ease of permitting and construction. For example, the remediation of the intertidal area encompassing Phase 1 (Segments 6, 7, 8, and 9) is scheduled to complete by 2023/2024 and the area is relatively free of obstructions and may be constructed without direct wetland impacts.

The eight River Walk gateways and seating areas proposed in the previous Feasibility Study have been included in these recommendations. The areas would include enhanced landscaped entrances connecting the River Walk to area roadways and additional landscaped seating areas along the trail to provide users an opportunity to rest and enjoy views of the Acushnet River. The following describes the limits, length, features, permitting requirements, and cost of the recommended River Walk phases. Table 4: Summary of Trail Segments – Opportunities and Challenges provides this data for each River Walk segment. Figures 11 through 15 present Phases 1 through 5, respectively.

The original Acushnet River Restoration Project included a total area of 5.3 acres. The ecological restoration zones proposed in the following pages include the originally conceived 5.3 acres restoration zones by the NBHTC as well as additional land proposed through this Feasibility Study Update . These areas will have multiple functions – to restore the Acushnet River shoreline habitat and to adapt to present and future flooding levels and sea level rise. Water levels are changing and areas currently defined as either high or low marsh will change and migrate with rising water levels. The topography of the sites where the River Walk will be built will also be altered by contaminant removal and filling. For example, the area where contaminants are buried at the Sawyer Street facility will become an upland.

The recommended order of the phases may change depending on several factors including the actual timing of the cleanup, the interests of the adjacent property owners and the availability of public and private funding. The information provided by the Woods Hole Group regarding flood inundation and storm and tidal water levels has implications for public expenditures. Any investment of public money should be a long-lasting one. The River Walk project should be as durable as possible and provide benefits to the City.

7.0 RECOMMENDED NEXT STEPS Recommended tasks to advance the development of the River Walk are presented below. These steps would allow the City to obtain information needed to advance the River Walk into the design and permitting phase.

consultants, including a coastal engineer to design an appropriate approach for the river’s edge. • Develop conceptual level (10%) design of all River Walk segments to support environmental impact analysis required for MEPA planning documents by Consultant team. Update planting list to reflect planting that occurs on the shoreline, as well as in upland areas. • Consultant team LSP conducts hazardous materials review:

• Complete topographic and property line surveys and • • • • •

• • • •

delineate wetland resources after the EPA finishes the shoreline cleanup. Update sea level rise and storm surge projections and flood maps from Woods Hole Group if the above step takes 5 years or more from the date of the publishing of this report. Perform a shoreline inventory with the help of a coastal engineer. Choose a coastal stabilization strategy that accounts for the resiliency goals of the entire length of the Riverfront neighborhood. Choose a stormwater infiltration strategy that accounts for the resiliency goals of the entire length of the Riverfront neighborhood. Reach consensus on River Walk alignment, elevation, and width (through coordination with pertinent City Departments, the New Bedford Harbor Trustees Council, MassDEP, and the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs). Select a target trail elevation that will increase the likelihood of a 30-year design life of trail (or to relevant projection year, as updated projections indicate) and provide additional flood protection for adjacent properties up to 2050 based on MC-FRM data. Increase square footage of ecological restoration areas, as feasible. Engage the Woods Hole Group to evaluate the impact of raising the elevation of the River Walk on future flood inundation. Acquire the right-of-way (temporary and permanent easements). Enlist the help of engineering, design, and permitting

potential hazardous material site conditions. Use EDR report acquired for this study and acquire additional EDR information as needed. Examine information related to the presence and type of hazardous materials in portions of the River Walk outside of EPA work zones to determine construction and soil management needs. Conduct soil analytical testing to characterize soils in areas of unknown soil quality in anticipation of Health and Safety protocol and potential disposal requirements prior to any significant earth moving activities. Establish design requirements that consider future use of the River Walk for recreational activities regarding potential exposures of OHM by its users. Where soils will be exposed for passive recreational activities, place three (3.0) feet’ of clean fill over geotextile fabric. If a more sophisticated geotextile fabric with a marker barrier is used, then it may be possible to overly that with two (2.0) feet of clean fill instead of three (3.0) feet. Review proposed construction areas in detail relative to existing disposal sites and site history in order to determine an appropriate soil sampling strategy to address soil management and future risk considerations.

• Prepare and file MEPA Environmental Notification Form

(ENF) for entire River Walk corridor.

• Identify funding sources for trail design, permitting and

construction.

by funds managed by the New Bedford Harbor Trustees Council. Ecological restoration was calculated at an average of $8/square foot. 4 Costs of the ‘River Walk Gateway’ features were developed for the 2015 New Bedford Riverwalk Planning and Design Feasibility Study. The costs of the gateway features provided in that study were inflated 4% annually to the 2020 base year. An additional 15% of the construction cost was added to account for planning, permitting, and engineering design. 5 Area of ecological restoration as described in the “Acushnet River Upland

1 River Walk costs assume 10-foot trail width, 2-foot of shoulder on each side, 12-inch depth of subbase and asphalt surface (no haul road in place). Costs escalated 4% annually to phase construction year. 2 Phase year indicates one year after the EPA hazardous material remediation of the Acushnet River and intertidal area is scheduled to be complete. This allows one year for the design, permitting, and contractor procurement of the River Walk and associated features. 3 Cost of ecological restoration areas (or portions thereof) may be provided

Other items that are not accounted for at

this time: disposal costs of contaminated soils, fill in capped contamination areas, and shoreline stabilization (shoreline stabilization needs will need to be determined on a site by site basis in the site investigation stage with the help of a coastal engineer. In some cases, no stabilization may be required.)

by funds managed by the New Bedford Harbor Trustees Council. Ecological restoration was calculated at an average of $8/square foot. 4 Costs of the ‘River Walk Gateway’ features were developed for the 2015 New Bedford Riverwalk Planning and Design Feasibility Study. The costs of the gateway features provided in that study were inflated 4% annually to the 2020 base year. An additional 15% of the construction cost was added to account for planning, permitting, and engineering design. 5 Area of ecological restoration as described in the “Acushnet River Upland

1 River Walk costs assume 10-foot trail width, 2-foot of shoulder on each side, 12-inch depth of subbase and asphalt surface (no haul road in place). Costs escalated 4% annually to phase construction year. 2 Phase year indicates one year after the EPA hazardous material remediation of the Acushnet River and intertidal area is scheduled to be complete. This allows one year for the design, permitting, and contractor procurement of the River Walk and associated features. 3 Cost of ecological restoration areas (or portions thereof) may be provided

8.0 CONCLUSION As described in this Feasibility Study Update, the anticipated future completion of the remediation of the Acushnet River and the adjacent intertidal area has led the City of New Bedford to plan for public enhancements to the shoreline area of the upper Acushnet, including the River Walk. The River Walk will serve as the culmination of the City’s efforts to restore the Acushnet River and its adjacent shoreline into a safe and positive community amenity, encouraging passive recreational opportunities along the banks of the Acushnet River for city residents and visitors. The River Walk project is

an opportunity to construct a linear park that will offer more access to the City’s waterfront and may offer a short-term benefit in the form of a modest buffer to rising sea levels. While substantial work remains to turn this vision into reality, the dedication and long-term vision of the City of New Bedford and their partners, including the New Bedford Harbor Trustees Council, the U.S. EPA, MA EEA, and MassDEP, provides confidence that someday soon, the New Bedford River Walk will be completed and available for everyone to enjoy.

CONCEPTUAL COST ESTIMATES

102


New Bedford Riverwalk Coceptual Cost Estimates Draft February 2020

METHODOLOGY The conceptual cost estimates for the New Bedford Riverwalk were developed for the purpose of comparing the order-of-magnitude costs of various segments under consideration. These conceptual cost estimates were developed based on MassDOT's weighted average bid price application on the MassDOT website. For developing the conceptual estimate, Stantec used the MassDOT weighted average bid price application and used prices for January 2020. Costs fpr planning, permitting, and engineering design were added at 15% of construction. All costs were escalated 4.0% annually to the anticipated construction year. Gateway Construction Assumptions: Costs of the 'Riverwalk Gateway' features were developed for the 2014 New Bedford Riverwalk Planning and Design Feasibility Study. The costs of these gateway feature provided in that study were inflated 4% annually to the 2020 base year. Trail Construction Assumptions: The base cost is for the construction of the trail and side slopes, with 1' increase over the existing grade. Add Alternate 1 will increase the profile by an additional 0.5 feet and add alternate 2 will add 1' of height to the profile. It is possible that if the proposed haul road were constructed with the trail in mind, on the intended trail alignment and at the appropriate grade, then a cost savings in clearing, ordinary borrow, gravel borrow could be realized. Future financial planning would require a more detailed cost estimate based on a higher level of design. 35% Contingency: The 35% contingency added to these conceptual costs is to account for unknown, but not unexpected costs. These could include, but are not limited to: environmental mitigation, hazardous soil management/disposal, utility relocation, and traffic management. See exclusions for a list of items expressly unaccounted for in these conceptual costs. Exclusions: These conceptual cost estimates do not include the cost of ancillary features such as a canoe launch, overlook/pier, etc. Below is a list of other items that are not accounted for at this time. • Disposal costs of contaminated soil • Fill in capped contamination areas • Shoreline Stabilization

ASSUMPTIONS:

UNIT PRICES

- Trail cost per foot is based on the design below and MassDOT District 5 unit prices as listed on the MassDOT Website on 14 January 2020. - Trail is assumed to be 10 feet wide HMA with 12:1 grass shoulders for 2 feet either side and 6:1 grass slopes to existing. Existing terrain apears relitively level throughout. Trail is to be raise 1' above existing ground. - In the base design the trail is placed on existing ground with the only raise in the profile from the pavement box. As alternative, 6 inches and 1 foot of fill will be added to raise the trail by 18" above existing or 24" above existing. - On road protions of the trail will be striped, 8 feet wide with sharrows witin the striped area.

APPENDIX C

ACUSHNET RIVER UPLAND RIPARIAN RESTORATION PROJECT

Acushnet River Upland Riparian Restoration Project

Background

New Bedford Harbor Trustee Council Round IV Environmental Assessment The New Bedford Harbor Trustees selected the Acushnet River Upland Riparian Restoration Project as a preferred habitat restoration alternative in the Council’s Round IV Environmental Assessment (EA). In that EA, $2.9 million was specified to complete design, permitting, and restoration of native vegetation within the upland riparian zone, defined as 25 feet landward of the top of the Coastal Bank of the Acushnet River, including construction of a pedestrian walkway and post-construction monitoring of vegetation. As documented in the EA, the project area extends approximately 11,600 feet along the shoreline for a total of just over 6.6 acres of land. Of this, restoration of the vegetation will total approximately 5.3 acres. In July 2011, through Trustee Council Resolution 136 and Court Order 66, funds to implement all projects approved in the Final Round IV EA were transferred to the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) Restoration Fund. In November 2011, $2,908,339.61 was transferred, per Resolution 144, from the DOI Fund to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for the purpose of entering into a Cooperative Agreement with the City of New Bedford to implement the project.

First Cooperative Agreement with NOAA In March 2012, NOAA and the City entered into a three-year Cooperative Agreement to implement the Acushnet River Upland Riparian Restoration Project. As described in the ’11 Scope of Work (SOW), the goals of the Acushnet River Riparian Restoration are: • to restore the 25 foot upland riparian zone of the Acushnet River/ New Bedford Harbor from Coggeshall Street to Tarkiln Hill Road utilizing native plant species; • to improve water quality in Acushnet River/ New Bedford Harbor by providing filtration of overland stormwater from adjacent developed lands; and • to provide opportunities for enhanced public access to the riparian zone. One of the most significant impacts to the project, and in particular to the schedule since the approval of the ’11 SOW has been the historic $256M settlement agreement reached by the EPA, MassDEP, and AVX finalized in 2013. Before this settlement, EPA and the City planned on a 40-year long cleanup of the harbor and intertidal areas. The City deemed 40-years too long for its residents to be separated from one of their most valuable resources and decided to construct Acushnet River Upland Riparian Restoration Project prior to the cleanup, after which EPA would be obligated to restore the restored habitat and associated pathways to original conditions. Once the settlement was reached however, EPA estimated the duration of the cleanup to be five to ten years. The City therefore concluded that it was

New Bedford Harbor Riparian Restoration Project Status and Scope of Work

Page 1 147


fiscally responsible to systematically coordinate the Acushnet River Upland Riparian Restoration Project with the Superfund cleanup in order to maximize outcomes through a complimentary process. The City and EPA have met regularly to discuss schedule and scope of the cleanup and identify means and methods that would serve both projects.

NOAA Cooperative Agreement Extension The City documented its revised approach to the project in September 2014 and submitted a cooperative agreement extension request based upon the accelerated EPA cleanup schedule. At that time, the City also provided an updated schedule, budget, and a narrative outlining proposed modifications to the ’11 SOW (’14 SOW-Mod), based on the best available information. The Trustee Council approved the revised approach in Resolution 150 and the Cooperative Agreement was extended an additional year and expired on September 20, 2016.

Leveraged Concept Plan From 2014 to 2015, the City completed a Concept Plan for the Acushnet River Upland Riparian Restoration Project through an EPA grant, that identified physical constraints and provided more detail based on existing conditions. This Plan included a 6-foot wide path. In March 2015, the City and its consultant presented the draft Concept Plan to the Trustee Council and solicited feedback. In May 2015, the City held a public meeting to present a draft of the plan and seek public comment. MassDEP attended this meeting. The Concept Plan, the link to which is provided to the right, has been used to continue conversations with private property owners, provide visualization, and to demonstrate project progress.

Figure 1 – Acushnet River Upland Riparian Restoration Project Path The Concept Plan provided the opportunity to identify areas where the typical 25’-wide project path may not be feasible, as well as areas that might support additional restoration areas. The ’11 SOW described the project area as that area 25’ landward of the top of the coastal bank of the Acushnet River and extending 11,600 linear feet from Coggeshall Street north to Tarkiln Hill Road, providing about 5.3

New Bedford Harbor Riparian Restoration Project Status and Scope of Work

acres of habitat restoration. Some areas do not lend themselves to provide more than a pedestrian way based on physical configuration and/or existing industrial use. The Concept Plan allows the flexibility to establish additional restoration in other areas to meet overall goals. Also, elevation constraints and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements will likely necessitate Acushnet River Upland Riparian Restoration Project’s tying in to River Road south of Wood Street. The Concept Plan provided for an evaluation of the entire project area to ensure that the overall area requirements for habitat restoration (232,000 square feet) will be met.

Project Progress to Date In addition to the Concept Plan described above, the City’s Team made effective use of the time available during the original Cooperative Agreement as well as the Extension, and has expended $219,632 to for the engineering, permitting, and legal efforts described in this section. The City Team completed an existing conditions survey in the field, as described as Task 1 in the ’14 SOW-Mod. The City’s Conservation Agent identified and marked the inland edge of the Coastal Resources areas: which were either Local, State and/or Federal protected Coastal Wetlands or Local and State protected Top of Coastal Bank within 100’ of the Project Area. Physical access was limited in a few areas, including the EPA de-sanding and staging facility (the Sawyer Street Facility), where the project engineer obtained LIDAR elevation data to augment field information. The project engineer also collected data including property monuments and markers, site culture, water’s edge, top of bank, and land-side topographic data to create the existing conditions plan using one-foot contours. The City Team completed the title research and documentation process for each of the properties along the Riparian Restoration Project path. The City’s Solicitor’s office worked with the Trustees to finalize easement language. With the exception of the four properties at the northernmost project terminus, the City met with all private property owners to apprise them of the project status and estimated schedule, and to identify any questions or concerns so that we could address them in the planning stage. Without exception, private property owners were supportive of the project. The owner of Star Plating, located on either side of the eastern portion of Coffin Avenue expressed concern regarding the proposed path around the southern the southern property boundary. The City Team suggested a shortterm alternative extending the path east down Coffin Avenue at the boundary between the City-owned parcel east of Riverside Park and Star Plating. This alternative will provide for the improvement of the pedestrian amenities on Coffin Avenue (not to be funded through this Riparian Restoration Project) and provide a benefit to Star Plating. The owner of Star Plating agreed to ongoing consideration of the originally-planned extension along the waterway upon evaluation of the safety and security of the initial short-term alternative. City anticipates that the increased visibility and traffic in the area will demonstrably enhance area security. The City’s engineer has completed draft easement plans, which will be executed following EPA’s intertidal cleanup in each area and documentation of final conditions. Since 2013, the City has been actively pursuing demolition of the derelict building located at 1R Coffin Avenue. This former textile mill has a failing saw-tooth roof structure and has been deemed unfit for workers’ use by OSHA. The current owner, a non-profit organization for at-risk youth, acquired the property as a “gift” in about 2015 and had hoped to rehabilitate the building and use the proceeds of New Bedford Harbor Riparian Restoration Project Status and Scope of Work

subsequent sale to continue programming. After several conference calls with the City and potential investors, the new owner has found the prospect of redevelopment and resale infeasible. The owner is very supportive of the Riparian Restoration Project and wants the property to provide a benefit to the community. The City sought a determination of eligibility for funding through EPA’s brownfields program. EPA determined that the City can spend a portion of its brownfield assessment funding on evaluating hazardous material impact at 1R Coffin Avenue, however the property boundary mirrors the building footprint, requiring the demolition of the building prior to assessment. The City continues to seek funding to safely demolish the building and holds monthly calls with the property owner. During Concept Planning, the City hosted two public meetings at Victoria Riverside, a residential mill redevelopment along the project path adjacent to the northern face of the 1R Coffin Ave building. Many of the attendees were residents of Victoria Riverside and are anxious to see the project get underway. Parking for Victoria Riverside currently exists within some of the proposed habitat restoration area. The City owns a large paved open area west of the building and anticipates providing parking in this area to facilitate the final easement along the river bank. The City sought a brownfields determination of eligibility for this property and received approval. The City has entered into a contract with one of its environmental professionals to complete an ASTM Phase I/Phase II site assessment during the summer of 2017. Just north of Victoria Riverside is another residential mill redevelopment – Manomet Place. Prior to conversion of Cliftex Mills to Manoment Place, the developer transferred a portion of the property to the City. This property, located in the habitat restoration area between the former mill and the Acushnet River, contained two partially-full 75,000-gallon #6 oil fuel tanks. The City agreed to the property transfer because the developer’s retaining ownership of the tanks would have made the project infeasible. The City applied twice to the EPA for Brownfields cleanup funding to close out the tanks and achieve a permanent remedial solution. In 2015, EPA granted the City $400,000 in cleanup funding, which the City has nearly expended and is in the process of documenting site closure (pending EPA’s providing detail regarding their approach to the intertidal area at the embankment). The city incorporated River Walk outreach into community engagement activity, both of which were widely supported. During the above-described tank cleanup process, the City coordinated with the owner of property adjacent to and north and east of the City-owned tank lots. This property, which extends along the waterfront along the length of Manoment Place, has historically been used for industrial purposes. To facilitate harbor cleanup, EPA has leased the vacant shoreline area for pump station use. The property owner intends to rehabilitate the lot for mixed commercial and residential use after the EPA lease expires (currently 2019 but it could be extended pending EPA cleanup status). Using the existing conditions survey and concept plans, the City Team met with the property owner to discuss complimentary area redevelopment. We are working on easement alternatives that include providing the former tank lots for future access, making the shoreline area available for riparian restoration.

Nashawena Mill, a former Cotton mill at 689 Belleville Avenue has been used as office space, but has recently drawn interest for commercial redevelopment. The City team will continue to follow these developments as the property provides a key opportunity for Upper Harbor habitat restoration following EPA’s intertidal cleanup. The City met with the owners of Darn It! and the Acushnet Company to ensure their continued support of the project and to identify elements that will maximize project benefits such as fencing, security, and lighting so that we can include these in the design and target supplemental funding sources. The AVX disposal site, originating at 740 Belleville Avenue was the major source of PCBs that resulted in the Superfund designation for New Bedford Harbor. Although planning and implementing cleanup of the site has been underway for about 20 years, response actions have reached a significant milestone with AVX proposing final cleanup alternatives to MassDEP for approval. The response action schedule continues to drive the critical path for EPA’s Superfund cleanup, and by transference, of this Acushnet River Riparian Restoration project. AVX has established four operable units (OUs) on the site – each of which will impact the design and construction of the habitat restoration and walkway. The City, as the owner of the former AVX property, has been an active partner in response action planning. The riparian area of the Acushnet Company property, immediately south of the former AVX facility, is part of the AVX disposal site, designated as OU1. AVX has proposed replacing all soil in OU1 with clean fill, resulting in no substantial engineering or construction issues relative to public exposure. AVX has not finalized its proposed remedial alternative on the former facility property itself, but it will likely require an engineered barrier over the River Walk area. This will prevent exposure to residual contaminants on the site, but will present challenges to project design and engineering. The City continues to have regular conversations (weekly in most cases) with AVX’s consultant regarding planning and coordination. EPA completed its cleanup of the Upper Harbor intertidal area adjacent to the southernmost portion of the project in 2016. EPA’s work included clearing, grubbing, construction of a temporary access road, and area restoration upon completion. The City provided EPA with draft project plans in order for EPA to collocate work areas to the extent practical. For example, EPA located its access road along the project path, which necessitated EPA’s cutting invasive phragmites that the City would have had to eradicate using project funding. Upon completion of cleanup, EPA removed the gravel access road, removed phragmites roots, restored the marsh area with grasses, and planted native seed mix along the edge of the coastal bank. In addition to the benefits that EPA’s efforts will provide to the riparian restoration project, the initial intertidal cleanup along the project path has also underscored the complexity of project coordination and the need to thoroughly plan prior to expending resources. EPA’s 2016 cleanup changed the previously existing conditions that had been surveyed and documented. To minimize duplicative costs, EPA transmitted as-built drawings to the City and its engineer to provide existing conditions for permitting and construction. The city’s initial intention was to complete a single comprehensive project permit set for each requisite permit. The recognition that “existing conditions” for the project area on the whole cannot be fully documented until EPA’s Superfund cleanup completion leads to the realization that even the permitting task of the riparian restoration project schedule depends on the ultimate New Bedford Harbor Riparian Restoration Project Status and Scope of Work

cleanup schedule. The City team has prepared a draft Notice of Intent for this initial project phase, submitted to the Trustees concurrent with this revised SOW. The City has also assembled a Chapter 91 Permit application, a final draft of which will be transmitted to the Trustees upon receipt of the Order of Conditions.

Proposed Scope Approach The vast majority of the PCB contamination driving the Superfund cleanup originated from the former Aerovox manufacturing site located at 740 Belleville Avenue, along the riparian restoration project path. AVX, successor to the responsible party Aerovox, is currently developing a site cleanup strategy for the significant source area that remains at the former facility property. EPA has consistently taken the position that they will not extend the Superfund cleanup of the intertidal area north of Riverside Park /Pierce Mill Cove until AVX has controlled the source of ongoing contamination. Also, EPA recently renewed their lease with the City of New Bedford to extend use of the Sawyer Street facility, located along the riparian restoration project path between Sawyer Street and Pierce Mill Cove, until May, 2026. In order to complete other portions of the riparian restoration project prior to this May 2026 date, the City has determined it to be necessary to break the project up into segments and phase final design, permitting, and construction of these segments based on cleanup schedules and other logistics. Phase 1 includes Segments 1, 3, 5, 7, and 8 and can be completed either following cleanup that has been or will be completed in 2017. Segment 1/Phase 1A will be completed first and a SOW and Budget are included in Table 1. Phase II includes Segments 4 and 6 and are not subject to cleanup, however, they have other site constraints that put them on a longer trajectory for implementation. Phase III includes segments 2, 9, 10, 11, and 12 which will need to be designed, permitted, and constructed as cleanup on those segments is completed. Although EPA will complete a substantial amount of riparian restoration following their intertidal cleanup, the City is committed to complete at least 232,000 square feet of habitat beyond EPA’s work. The estimated restoration area, beyond EPA’s anticipated work, is included in each area description below. Phase I Phase IA – Segment 1: This segment includes Map 93/265 and runs from Coggeshall Street northward to Sawyer Street. Segment 1 will include about 652 feet of walkway. EPA has completed their intertidal cleanup and 53,079 square feet of restoration along this parcel and has provided asbuilt plans for use in documenting existing conditions. The City intends to restore an additional 3,945 square feet of habitat area in this segment. EPA currently owns the property and is working to convey the parcel to the City of New Bedford. The project engineer has prepared a draft NOI for Segment 1/Phase IA and will submit to the Conservation Commission following Trustee review. Upon receipt of an Order of Conditions, the engineer will submit the Chapter 91 permit application. Phase IB – Segment 5: This segment includes Map 100/118 (Victoria Riverside) northward to Manomet Street along about 667 feet of the Acushnet River. The EPA cleanup is not anticipated to disturb the top of bank on this parcel. Segment 5, to include about 8,696 square feet of riparian restoration, can therefore be permitted and constructed prior to cleanup. We anticipate

New Bedford Harbor Riparian Restoration Project Status and Scope of Work

Page 6 152


submitting an NOI during the summer of 2017. Upon receipt of an Order of Conditions, the engineer will submit the Chapter 91 permit application. Phase IC – Segment 7: This segment includes about 181 feet along the Acushnet River at Riverbank Lofts on Map 105/170 with about 5,273 square feet of restored habitat. EPA’s cleanup is not anticipated to disturb the top of bank. We anticipate filing an NOI and executing the property easement with the owner during the summer of 2017. Upon receipt of an Order of Conditions, the engineer will submit the Chapter 91 permit application. Phase ID – Segment 8: This segment includes about 270 feet of walkway and 2,800 square feet of restoration along the Acushnet River on Map 111/& 111/155 behind parking for Riverbank Lofts and the former Nashowena Mill. This area’s top of bank is not anticipated to be disturbed by EPA’s cleanup and can therefore be permitted and constructed prior to EPA activities. We anticipate submitting an NOI for Segment 8 and executing the property easement with the owners during the summer of 2017. A Chapter 91 license application will be filed upon receipt of the Order of Conditions. Phase IE – Segment 3: This segment includes Pierce Mill Cove/Riverside Park and a portion of Coffin Avenue. The pathway will begin on the north side of the Sawyer Street facility and continue west to join 820 feet of existing pathway in Riverside Park, which will be improved to match the new pathway. The path will then extend to the east along the southern shoreline of Pierce Mill Cove and terminate at the intersection of Coffin and Riverside Avenues. This segment will provide about 1,111 feet of new walkway. EPA has completed the clearing and grubbing for the intertidal cleanup in this Segment 3 area, and has located the temporary access road along the project pathway. Cleanup will be completed through the winter and early spring of 2017 and as-built plans are anticipated to be provided to the city by the summer of 2017 to document existing conditions for the Segment 3 NOI. Using the existing pathway area provides for about 30,060 square feet of additional habitat restoration area, creating a greater buffer between the walking path and habitat area. Upon receipt of the as-builts, the project engineer will submit the draft Segment 3 NOI, anticipated in early fall 2017. Concurrently with Segment 3, the City will plan and design streetscape upgrades for a 580- foot length of Coffin Avenue extending from the Segment 3 pathway’s northern terminus eastward to the Acushnet River. This will be an interim path connection as the city anticipates the eventual continuation of the pathway from the northern terminus along the shoreline connecting at the end of Coffin Avenue. Site constraints make the short-term completion of the long-term configuration in this area cost prohibitive at this time. The 580-foot roadway connection is not included in the overall project length. The eventual configuration however, will add 980 feet to the project path. Phase II Phase IIA – Segment 4: This segment begins at the southern terminus of Segment 3 and extends 400 feet northward along the Acushnet River on Map 100/117, referred to as 1R Coffin Avenue. There is presently a derelict mill structure on the property that extends to 10-20 feet from the top of coastal bank. The city is currently working with the property owner to demolish the building, which will be necessary to construct the project without an elevated walkway and to provide sufficient area for riparian habitat restoration. We anticipate demolition of the building New Bedford Harbor Riparian Restoration Project Status and Scope of Work

Page 7 153


in 2018, at which time existing conditions will be reevaluated and engineering and permitting completed. The property owner has agreed to execute an easement with the City which will be pursued following demolition. About 1,060 square feet of habitat restoration is planned for the length of this segment. Phase IIB – Segment 6: This segment includes about 830 feet of shoreline on Map 105/183: currently industrial property, planned for mixed reuse. As with Segment 5, EPA cleanup is not anticipated to disturb the top of bank on this parcel, and Segment 6 can be permitted prior to cleanup. EPA currently has a lease with the property owner to stage and operate a temporary pump station on a portion of this parcel, and is looking to extend the lease for two additional years. We anticipate submitting an NOI for Segment 6, including riparian restoration during the summer of 2017. A Chapter 91 license application will be filed upon receipt of the Order of Conditions. The execution of the easement can occur following EPA’s use of the property and termination of the lease. Segment 6 is anticipated to provide an 18,857 square foot habitat restoration area. Phase III Phase IIIA – Segment 2: This segment includes City-owned property on Map 93/120 referred to as the Sawyer Street Facility. This parcel is currently under lease agreement with EPA for use in their Superfund cleanup operations until May 2026. EPA has agreed to vacate the facility following Superfund cleanup and to leave the parcel ready for River Walk construction. We intend to include about 1,117 feet of walkway and 42,443 square feet of riparian habitat restoration. We will utilize EPA-provided as-built plans to document existing conditions for work on this parcel. Permitting Segment 2 (NOI and Chapter 91) will occur following EPA’s close-out. Phase IIIB – Segment 9: This segment includes about 925 feet of shoreline behind Darn It! on Map 111/146. The area does not have an elevated coastal bank as with Segments 5 through 8. Progress on Segment 9 will be dependent on EPA’s Superfund cleanup based on the lower profile of the project area and the proximity to the contamination source area. We anticipate that this segment will provide for about 55,963 square feet of restoration area. EPA will provide as-built plans following cleanup at which time the city will prepare and submit the NOI and subsequent Chapter 91 application, and execute the property easement with the owner Phase IIIC – Segment 10: This segment includes about 757 feet of shoreline behind Acushnet Rubber Co. on Map 112/133. This property is adjacent to and partially within the contamination source area and as such, will undergo substantial remediation in both intertidal and upland areas by EPA and AVX respectively. Once both remedial actions are complete and as-built conditions documented, the city will prepare and submit the NOI and subsequent Chapter 91 application, and execute the property easement with the owner. We anticipate that this segment will provide for about 25,500 square feet of restoration area. Phase IIID – Segment 11: This segment includes about 511 feet along the eastern property boundary of the former AVX facility and 2,285 square feet of riparian restoration area. This property, now owned by the city, is the source area of the Superfund site, and remediation is currently being planned for the riparian restoration project area. Once remedial actions are complete and asbuilt conditions documented, the city will prepare and submit the NOI and subsequent Chapter 91 application. New Bedford Harbor Riparian Restoration Project Status and Scope of Work

Page 8 154


Phase IIIE – Segment 12: The final 1,252 length of the riparian restoration to Wood Street will be referred to as Segment 12, but may later be further parsed into smaller areas, as five properties are included in this segment. A total of 35,119 square feet of habitat restoration is planned from the Precix property on Map 116/67 northward to Wood Street following EPA’s completion of intertidal Superfund cleanup. Physical constraints will prevent the extension of the walkway to Wood Street however, and the city proposes to connect the walkway to the intersection of River Road and Howard Avenue. This will require agreements with three property owners: o o o

The city had obtained verbal agreement for the project from Precix’s Chief Operating Officer in 2013. Since then, there has been a change in management requiring that we approach the new management team about the project. Coyne Laundry, formerly operating north of Precix at Map 116/94 entered into bankruptcy. Coyne transferred the property to new ownership in October 2016. The city must initiate discussion with the new property owner about the project. Map 116/91 is currently used for landscaping material storage. The city will work with the property owner to connect the walkway to River Road on the northern property boundary.

1.4 Existing Conditions Plan Finalization The project engineer developed an existing Conditions Plan using “AutoCAD” during the conceptual planning stage. Following EPA’s intertidal cleanup at the southern end of the riparian restoration area on Map 93/265, the project team determined that much of the existing conditions documented will, by necessity, require refinement in concert with EPA’s cleanup activity. As described in Section 1.3 above, we do not expect the project areas in Segments 5, 6, 7, and 8 to be substantially impacted by the Superfund activities. As remedial work is completed outside of these Segments, the project team will take as-built information and work to identify discrepancies between field data and available property, deed, previous plans and imagery data. We have already completed this exercise for the Segment 1/Phase 1A work which is included in the revised Draft NOI and detailed in Table 1.

2. Easement Acquisition and Conservation Restriction 2.1 Private Property Approach The City will acquire easements for public access along privately-owned parcels. We have had numerous discussions with most of these property owners who are supportive of the project. As described in Section 1.3 above, there have been changes in ownership/management north of the former AVX facility in the area identified herein as Segment 12. We are currently seeking to identify the new contacts to reinitiate project discussions in these areas. The ’11 SOW described the City’s intentions to conduct environmental site assessments on privatelyowned properties. Realizing property owners’ anticipated reluctance to participate in this process, the City has refined its strategy. The City proposes to work with MassDEP to develop an appropriate design approach that would limit direct contact with site media. The City already has substantial environmental

information for properties along the project path on which to base realistic assumptions of typical existing conditions and mitigation measures. 2.2 Easement Development The Concept Plan identified the preferred configuration to enable discussion with private stakeholders and to reach general agreement regarding granting easements. The New Bedford solicitor’s office has drafted easement language, and has worked with the Trustees on changes. The City has run the title to each of the properties along the Acushnet River Upland Riparian Restoration Project from Coggeshall Street to River Road and obtained copies of all outstanding encumbrances and existing mortgages and liens as of mid-2016. The City has developed draft easement language and is in the process of obtaining a third party to hold the Conservation Restriction(s) that will be applied to each easement. We will work with private property owners to reach easement agreements concurrently with permitting on each property, so that the easements can be executed immediately upon respective permit approvals.

3. Design and Permitting 3.1 Proposed Riparian Restoration Approach The project will restore the Upland Riparian Zone to native coastal riparian shrub and meadow habitat intended to increase avian, mammalian, reptilian, and insect diversity. The proposal includes planting native coastal grasses along the top of the coastal bank to provide bank stability as well as food for birds and small mammals Vegetation planted within the Upland Riparian Zone will also provide filtration of overland stormwater from adjacent developed lands thereby improving the water quality in the Acushnet River. Improved water quality will benefit the living resources within the Acushnet River damaged as a result of the release of hazardous substances, including PCBs, in the New Bedford Harbor Environment. The Conceptual Plan identified vegetative species that would provide the most sustainable sources of food, cover, nesting, and resting habitat for a variety of native birds, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and beneficial insects such as monarch butterflies and praying mantis. The plant schedule, presented in Table 1 on the following page, includes proposed plant species and benefit of each species to different groups of native fauna. Figures 2 and 3 provide cross sections of the proposed project planting plan. These plans were designed to mimic natural coastal upland plant communities typical of the Buzzards Bay watershed. Coastal grasses along the entire length of the top of bank will provide natural stability to the edge of the river bank. Landward of this, a mixture of native forbs (broad-leaved plants) composed of wildflowers and other hardy low-growing coastal vegetation are proposed. West of the pedestrian pathway, the City proposes to establish a diverse mixture of native coastal shrubs. This riparian restoration of 232,000 square feet of native shrubs, wildflowers, and grasses along the riverfront which will provide filtration of overland flow from adjacent developed lands and improve the water quality of the Acushnet River. The vegetation will also mitigate storm damage to adjacent uplands.

The City met with the Commonwealth’s MEPA office regarding the necessity to file an ENF. After discussion of proposed Acushnet River Upland Riparian Restoration Project impacts, alterations, and disturbance, it was concluded that the project would not exceed any of the thresholds requiring an ENF. The City will obtain requisite signatures from all private property owners as necessary for each permit and/or authorization to sign on the owners’ behalf. These signatures may be obtained prior to the execution and recording of easements. In an effort to fast track the implementation of the section of Acushnet River Upland Riparian Restoration Project where EPA has completed their cleanup of the intertidal zone of the Acushnet Harbor Superfund Site, the City proposes to file permits for Acushnet River Upland Riparian Restoration Project, from the entrance at Veterans’ Memorial Way northward to Sawyer Street prior to the remainder of the project. The City will then complete the permits for the remainder of the project. 3.3 Final Design The City and its engineer will make any necessary changes to engineering drawings upon receipt of permits, in consultation with the New Bedford Harbor Trustees. The City will develop specifications for internal use and to facilitate procurement where appropriate.

4. CONSTRUCTION The City’s Department of Public Infrastructure (DPI) will serve in the role as “general contractor” during construction phase. Where DPI possesses the in-house expertise to complete construction, these activities will be self-performed with in-kind labor to maximize the impact of Trustees’ funding. The City will augment construction with procurement of outside contractors as appropriate. EPA has utilized concept planning outputs in the development of their approach to intertidal cleanup. EPA’s actual schedule depends largely on the upstream source area cleanup by AVX. EPA has only committed to initiating cleanup of the intertidal area adjacent to and north of Coffin Avenue after migration of PCBs from the source area has been controlled. Although cleanup planning continues at the AVX site and the Harbor, there is no established schedule. To begin construction of a portion of the Acushnet River Upland Riparian Restoration Project, the city intends to complete Segment 1/Phase IA immediately upon Chapter 91 approval, weather permitting.

5. MONITORING/MAINTENANCE 5.1 Monitoring The City’s Environmental Stewardship Department will be responsible for riparian habitat monitoring to ensure success of the restored area. The Department will establish an Upland Riparian Zone Restoration monitoring protocol. Monitoring will begin for each segment upon completion of that segment. In the first 5 years, this protocol will include establishing a minimum of 20 west-to-east transects through the Upland Riparian Zone and randomly establishing vegetation monitoring plots in each restoration habitat (shrub, forbs & grasses). The presence of soil or bank erosion will be documented and photographed with restoration methods recommended. We expect that some invasive plants will colonize the Upland Riparian Zone immediately following the completion of the project. Invasive plants will be managed according to accepted protocol such as digging up the plants, cutting them down at critical times during their life cycle, or if required utilize herbicide treatment. The City will submit semi-annual reports during the first 5 years to document findings and recommending any maintenance required to ensure successful achievement of restoration outcomes. Following the first 5 years, the City will compile an annual report of collected data and analyze the results. The following will demonstrate successful implementation: • a minimum of 75% coverage of native species in the Upland Riparian Zone demonstrated by vegetation plot data; • long term stabilization of the top of the Coastal Bank demonstrated by native vegetation coverage • lack of soil erosion, which is a measure of how well the vegetation is stabilizing the soil. If the area is well vegetated, and constructed as described above, it can be reasonably assumed that any overland flow from adjacent developed lands is being intercepted and infiltrated into the soil underlying the Upland Riparian Zone. This is a means by which to measure improvement to the water quality of the Acushnet River which currently receives pollution from non point sources from development or disturbance within and beyond the Upland Riparian Zone • establishment of densely vegetated Upland Riparian Zone to provide storm damage prevention by buffering adjacent developed lands from coastal river winds and wave action. Storm damage prevention can be measured using the vegetation plot data on height and vegetation coverage and the soil and bank erosion data described above. • recording wildlife species seen during each monitoring event to provide a general idea of the increase in the diversity of wildlife utilizing the habitat. The vegetation data collected at each transect will determine if we have successfully provided the habitat that supports the diversity of wildlife Table 2 describes. Well-established vegetation will also indicate that any overland flow from adjacent developed lands is being intercepted and infiltrated into the soil underlying the Upland Riparian Zone. This demonstrates improvement to the water quality of the Acushnet River, which currently receives pollution from nonpoint sources from development or disturbance within and beyond the Upland Riparian Zone. Successful

establishment of densely vegetated Upland Riparian Zone will mitigate storm damage by buffering adjacent developed lands from coastal river winds and wave action. These annual reports, submitted to MassDEP and the Harbor Trustees Council, will provide recommendations for routine and non-routine maintenance issues.

5.2 Maintenance The City and its consultants developed the concept plan to create low-maintenance sustainable coastal habitats once firmly established. The City’s Department of Public Facilities, in close coordination with the Department of Environmental Stewardship, will oversee and largely self-perform Acushnet River Upland Riparian Restoration Project maintenance. This will include: • Annual (October) mowing of coastal herbaceous community; • Keep pathway clear of vegetation; and • Implement recommendations made in annual monitoring reports.
