Housing Land Acquisition, Project #4490913 363 Marshville Road Harrington, Maine

Dear Kerry, We are pleased to present this Report of our Protected Natural Resources services in support of Housing Land Acquisition for the U.S. Coast Guard Station in Jonesport, Maine (Project #4490913). The purpose of our work was to conduct the services listed in the November 15, 2016 U.S. Coast Guard Statement of Work, Sections 3a: Wetlands

Delineation, 3b: Critical Habitat Assessment, and 3c: Coastal Zone Applicability on the approximately 34-acre property located at 363 Marshville Road in Harrington, Maine

(Tax Map 5, Lot 57) (i.e. the “site”).

This report is subject to the Limitations in Appendix A. Appendix B contains a Site

Location Map and Protected Natural Resources Plan. Appendix C contains color photographs. Appendix D contains Corps Wetland Data Forms. Appendix E contains copies of resource agency contact letters and database searches, as well as published mapping for the site.

Burman Land & Tree Company, LLC also conducted preliminary Protected Natural

Resources identification services on the site, reported on March 03, 2017.

1.0 Summary of Findings

Burman Land & Tree Company, LLC identified eight areas of freshwater wetland, three freshwater streams, and a coastal wetland on the site.

The Maine Natural Areas Program (MNAP) maps a salt-hay saltmarsh community, which is ranked as “rare” in Maine, within the coastal wetland along the northwestern and western site boundaries. The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife

(IF&W) maps a Tidal Waterfowl and Wading Bird Habitat within the coastal wetland along the northwestern and western site boundaries. IF&W also maps the site as within potential habitat of one or more of the three species of bats that are protected under the

Maine Endangered Species Act, and five species of bats that are listed as Species of

Special Concern. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (US FWS) maps the site as being within the habitat of the Northern Long-eared Bat, which is a federally-listed threatened species, and the Atlantic Salmon, which is a federally-listed Endangered Species.

The site is within the Maine Coastal Zone. Coastal features on the site are the coastal wetland.

2.0 Site Location and Description

The approximately 34 acre site is located at 363 Marshville Road in Harrington, Maine.

A Site Location Map is attached in Appendix B. The site contains a residence and outbuildings in the eastern portion of the property, near to Marshville Road. The remainder of the property is mostly forested with a small lawn area near the buildings. A tidal river (Harrington River) is outside of the northwestern and western site boundaries, but it’s associated coastal (intertidal estuarine) wetlands are along the northwestern and western portions of the site. The site generally slopes down to the west and northwest towards the river. Several erosional gullies flow from the central and western portions of the property to the river. Site slopes range from about 5 to 20 percent with locally steeper slopes in the gully sideslopes. Two of the erosional gullies contain freshwater streams. The Harrington River flows south into the Pleasant Bay in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 6 miles south of the site.

3.0 Section 3a: Wetlands Delineation

3.1 Field Visit

Burman Land & Tree Company, LLC visited the site on April 29, and May 13, and 18, 2017 to identify and delineate field-observable Protected Natural Resources on the site.

Protected Natural Resources were identified as defined by the Maine Department of

Environmental Protection1'2 (MDEP) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers3 (Corps). Our wetland delineation services were conducted using the 1987 Corps Wetland Delineation

Manual4 and Northeast Regional Supplement5. Our stream identification was conducted using the MDEP Natural Resources Protection Act Statute and the Corps General

Permit. Our vernal pool identification was conducted using MDEP Chapter 3356, the

2014 Maine Association of Wetlands Scientist (MAWS) Vernal Pool Survey Protocol, and the Corps General Permit.

We identified eight areas of freshwater wetlands, three freshwater streams, and a coastal wetland on the site. A Protected Natural Resources Plan depicting these features is attached in Appendix B.

Most of the site’s freshwater wetlands originate in the more topographically level areas on the central and western portions of the site, flowing west and northwest into erosional gullies and into the tidal river. These wetlands, labeled Wetlands A through G, have similar characteristics and will be described together in this report. Wetland H is a scrub-shrub wetland surrounding a stream on the southeastern portion of the property.

Wetlands A through G were forested wetlands with greater than 50% hydrophytic vegetation. Wetlands A through G were dominated by balsam fir (Abies balsamea) with other species such as red maple (Acer rubrum), eastern larch (Larix laricina), and red spruce (Picea rubens). Observed soils in a test pit and auger borings in Wetlands A

through G generally consisted of 3 inches of muck underlain by 5 inches of friable, dark, silt loam textured soil, underlain by greater than 6 inches of friable, depleted and mottled silt loam textured soil. Soils in the wetland are closest to classification as Soil

Indicator F3: Depleted Matrix. The Primary Hydrology Indicators observed were A1:

Surface Water, A2: High Water Table, and A3: Saturation.

Wetland H was a scrub-shrub wetland with greater than 50% hydrophytic vegetation.

Wetland H was dominated by speckled alder (Alnus incana). Observed soils in a test pit and auger borings in Wetland H generally consisted of 2 inches of muck underlain by 4 inches of friable, dark, cobbley silt loam textured soil, underlain by greater than 6 inches of firm, depleted and mottled cobbley silt loam textured soil. Soils in the wetland are closest to classification as Soil Indicator F3: Depleted Matrix. The Primary Hydrology

Indicators observed were A1: Surface Water, A2: High Water Table, and A3: Saturation.

We identified three freshwater streams on the site, labeled as Streams B, C and H.

Stream B was located in Wetland B in the western portion of the site, in a gully that flowed westerly to the Harrington River. Stream B appeared intermittent and ranged from about 2 to 5 feet wide and up to about 5 inches deep. Stream B had a cobble and mud bottom.

Stream C was located within Wetland C in the northern portion of the site, in a gully that flowed northerly to a cove in the Harrington River. Stream C appeared intermittent and ranged from about 2 to 3 feet wide and up to about 3 inches deep. Stream C had a cobble and mud bottom.

Stream H was located in Wetland H in the southeastern portion of the site, starting at a culvert under Marshville Road and flowing southwesterly to and beyond the site property boundary. Stream H appeared intermittent and ranged from about 4 to 6 feet wide and up to about 1 foot deep. Stream H had a bedrock, cobble and sand bottom.

We also identified a coastal (intertidal estuarine) wetland along the northwestern and western portions of the property. The coastal wetland was relatively wide, ranging from about 50 - 200 feet wide along the Harrington River. The wetland was vegetated with what appeared to be classic salt marsh vegetation including saltmeadow cordgrass

(Spartina patens), smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora), and/or black-grass (Juncus gerardii). Observed soils in the coastal wetland were gleyed and mottled silty clay loam textured. Soils in the wetland appear closest to classification as Soil Indicator F2:

Loamy Gleyed Matrix. A Primary Hydrology Indicator observed was A3: Saturation.

We did not identify other field-observable Protected Natural Resources on the site.

Wetland boundaries and streams were located using a mapping grade Trimble GPS.

The GPS data was overlaid onto the base map provided by Oak Point Associates, which was used to make the Protected Natural Resources Plan attached in Appendix B.

The base map included the Highest Annual Tide (HAT) line as determined by the project surveyors.

3.2 Review of Published Mapping

Burman Land & Tree Company, LLC contacted and/or accessed the databases of natural resource agencies to identify if there are Threatened, Endangered, Significant or

Essential species and/or habitats mapped on the site. Agencies we contacted included the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (US FWS), Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and

Wildlife (IF&W), and Maine Natural Areas Program (MNAP). Response letters and/or database searches are included in Appendix E.

The MNAP response letter dated January 24, 2017 states that “363 Marsh(ville) Road, Map 5 Lot 57, intersects with a rare natural community, salt-hay saltmarsh.” According to the MNAP, the salt-hay saltmarsh community is ranked as S3 or “Rare” in Maine, and

G5 or “demonstrably secure globally”. The MNAP response letter recommends

“avoiding development of the Shoreland Zone (250’ from the tidal marsh edge) and maintaining natural vegetative cover in that area.”

According to the IF&W response letter and map, dated January 24, 2017, IF&W maps a

Tidal Waterfowl and Wading Bird Habitat (TWWH), which is a Significant Wildlife

Habitat, in and adjacent to the tidal river along the northwestern and western site boundary. IF&W recommends that their Region C wildlife staff be contacted “to discuss methods to avoid or limit impacts to these wildlife resources should any work be planned in or adjacent to this habitat.” IF&W also maps eight bat species as potentially on the site. Of these, three are protected under the Maine Endangered Species Act, and five are listed as being of Special Concern in Maine. IF&W recommends that the US

FWS be contacted regarding the bat habitat as one of the state listed bats is also listed as Threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act. IF&W does “not anticipate significant impacts to any of the bat species as a result of this project.” IF&W did not map any Essential Habitats or fisheries habitats “that would be directly affected by (the) project.”

The US FWS database, accessed on February 14, 2017, indicates that two federally-listed species “should be considered as part of an effect analysis for this project”; the

Endangered Atlantic Salmon and the Threatened Northern Long-eared Bat. If the project will require a federal permit or will use federal funding, the federal action agency will determine if there are concerns regarding the project affecting this mapped habitat.

Generally, Atlantic salmon are a concern if streams or near-stream areas are to be disturbed. Generally, bats are a concern if the site is near a known hibernacula or brooding tree, or if trees will be cut between about April 1 to October 15.

Burman Land & Tree Company, LLC also reviewed available published mapping for the site including USGS topographic mapping, U.S. Fish and Wildlife National Wetland

Inventory (NWI), U.S. Emergency Management Agency flood hazard mapping (FEMA), and U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) soil mapping, as available, to provide an indication of potential areas of protected natural resources on the property. Copies of these maps are included in Appendix D.

The NWI maps the Harrington River as an estuarine, subtidal, unconsolidated bottom wetland with a subtidal water regime (E1UBL); a portion of the intertidal wetland along the southern and northwestern site boundaries as an estuarine, intertidal, unconsolidated shore, mud bottom wetland with a regularly flooded water regime

(E2US3N); and a portion of the intertidal wetland along the northwestern site boundary as an estuarine, intertidal, emergent, persistent wetland with an irregularly flooded water regime (E2EM1P). NWI maps forested and estuarine wetlands on the adjacent property to the south of the site.

The NRCS Soil Survey maps the eastern portion of the site, near the buildings, as

Skerry fine sandy loam, 3 to 12 percent slopes, and the remainder of the site as

Lamoine-Buxton-Scantic complex, 0 to 15 percent slopes. NRCS maps the intertidal wetlands as Gouldsboro silt loam. Scantic and Gouldsboro soils are classified as hydric soils, which are a component of wetlands.

The USGS topographic map shows the Harrington River along the western and northwestern site boundary. According to the FEMA map, most of the site is in an area of Low to Moderate Risk for flooding (Zone C), with the area along the river mapped as a High Risk Area for flooding (Zone A).

3.3 Classification

Based on the Cowardin Classification system7, we classified Wetlands A through G as

PFO1&4E or palustrine, forested, broad-leaved deciduous and needle-leaved evergreen wetlands with a seasonally saturated water regime. We classified Wetland H as PSS1E or palustrine, scrub-shrub wetland with a seasonally saturated water regime. We classified the coastal wetland where it is along the site as E2EM1P or estuarine, intertidal, emergent, persistent wetland with an irregularly flooded water regime. We classified Streams B and C as R4SB3 or riverine, intermittent, streambed streams with a cobble-gravel bottom. We classified Stream H as R4SB1/3/5 or riverine, intermittent, streambed stream with a bedrock, cobble-gravel and sand bottom.

Based on MDEP Natural Resources Protection Act definitions, coastal wetland (as measured to the Highest Annual Tide line as defined by the MDEP), freshwater streams and freshwater wetlands are Protected Natural Resources. The coastal wetlands are classified as MDEP “Wetlands of Special Significance”. The freshwater wetlands, where located within 250 feet of the highest annual tide line of the coastal wetland, where within the FEMA mapped 100-year flood boundary, where within 25 feet of a stream, where they contain ≥20,000 ft² of emergent marsh vegetation (including the coastal wetland), and/or where they contain the Significant Wildlife Habitat, meet

Cowardin, et al. 1979. United States, Fish and Wildlife Service, “Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater

Habitats of the United States”. Biological services program ; FWS/OBS-79/31) FWS/OBS-79/31 . QH76.U54a 79/31

[QH104] 574.5'0973s [574.5'2632] 79-607795 classification as MDEP “Wetlands of Special Significance”. The remainder of wetlands on the site meet classification as MDEP “Wetlands Not of Special Significance”.

3.4 Stormwater

Potential future implications of natural resources for stormwater that apply to the property are related to limits of disturbance and increased erosion control measures.

The various permitting zones and setbacks that apply to this property are shown in

Table 1. Should the limits of disturbance required for stormwater encroach into the permitting zones and setbacks identified, permit applications and increased erosion and sediment control measures will be required. The type of permit required will depend on the nature and location of the disturbance.

4.0 Critical Habitat Assessment (Section 3b)

Burman Land & Tree Company, LLC accessed the database of the U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service (US FWS) to determine if there are mapped birds protected under the

Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and plants or animals listed under the Endangered Species

Act, or the Migratory Bird Treaty Act on the site. A copy of the US FWS Trust Resources

Report, which is for information purposes only (as opposed to the Official Species list consulted for our services in Section 3.2), is included in Appendix D.

The US FWS Trust Resources Report, generated on November 25, 2016, indicates that the Endangered Atlantic Salmon and the Threatened Northern Long-Eared Bat “may occur or could potentially be affected by activities in this location.” As stated previously, generally, Atlantic salmon are a concern if streams or near-stream areas are to be disturbed. Generally, bats are a concern if the site is near a known hibernacula or brooding tree, or if trees will be cut between about April 1 to October 15.

The US FWS Trust Services Report also lists several species of migratory birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act that “could potentially be affected by activities in this location”, including the American Bittern, Bald Eagle, Bay-breasted

Warbler, Black-billed Cuckoo, Canada Warbler, Great Cormorant, Hudsonian Godwit, Least Bittern, Least Tern, Nelson’s Sparrow, Olive-sided Flycatcher, Peregrine Falcon, Pied-billed Grebe, Purple Sandpiper, Short-eared Owl, Upland Sandpiper, Willow

Flycatcher, Wood Thrush and Yellow Rail. A bird species and habitat study would need to be performed on this site to determine if these species are using (or have the potential to use) this site, and if they would be affected by the proposed development.

5.0 Coastal Zone Applicability (Section 3c)

Burman Land & Tree Company, LLC consulted the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, Maine Coastal Program, to determine if the site is located within the Maine Coastal Zone or in an area that could affect the state’s coastal uses and resources, and to determine if and where any specific coastal features as defined by the Maine Coastal Program are located on site.

According to the Maine Coastal Program’s Coastal Zone map, all of Harrington, Maine is located within the Maine Coastal Zone. Specific coastal features identified on this site include the tidal river and its adjacent estuarine areas to the highest annual tide line (as defined by the MDEP), which are located along the western and northwestern site boundaries. These features, and their adjacent uplands and wetlands, are protected under MDEP (state) regulations. These features are also protected under U.S. Army

Corps of Engineers (federal) regulations.

A Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood plain map of the site, prepared by Oak Point Associates, that clearly identifies flood plains and velocity zone boundaries is located in Appendix E. A portion of the property near Harrington River is located in Flood Hazard Zone A which is described as being “Areas of the 100-year flood; base flood elevations and flood hazard factors undetermined.” The flood zone associated with this property is not identified as being in any velocity (wave action) zones.

6.0 General Permitting Information

Freshwater streams, freshwater wetlands, significant wildlife habitats (tidal waterfowl/wading bird, Atlantic salmon and some bat habitats), and coastal wetlands are protected by the MDEP and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Alterations to these features, or within certain setback distances from some of these features, generally require a permit from these agencies, the type of permit dependent on the amount and type of alteration. Table 1, below, presents general permitting information and setbacks based on our understanding of the project and general residential development scenarios.

If the project will trigger MDEP Site Location of Development permitting, other setbacks may apply to the on-site resource features, especially due to the existence of the Tidal

Waterfowl and Wading Bird Habitat and the coastal wetland.

We recommend that the Town of Harrington be contacted during the planning process for the project if natural resources are proposed to be altered. We anticipate that Oak

Point Associates will conduct this review. We assume that the coastal wetland is within

Town of Harrington Shoreland Zoning, which generally limits activities within 250 feet of the resource boundary.

In general, Coastal Zone review is part of MDEP NRPA permitting.

7.0 Findings and Recommendations

Burman Land & Tree Company, LLC conducted the services listed in the November 15, 2016 U.S. Coast Guard Statement of Work, Sections 3a: Wetlands Delineation, 3b:

Critical Habitat Assessment, and 3c: Coastal Zone Applicability on the approximately

34-acre property located at 363 Marshville Road in Harrington, Maine (Tax Map 5, Lot

57).

Wetland Delineation (Section 3a): We identified eight freshwater wetlands on the site, located mostly in and above erosional gullies that flow towards the Harrington River to the west and northwest, but including one in the southeastern portion of the property.

We identified three freshwater streams on the site, located in the western, northern and eastern portions of the site. We identified a coastal wetland along the western and northwestern site boundary. The river, streams, freshwater and coastal wetlands are

Protected Natural Resources. The coastal wetlands; and the freshwater wetlands, where located within 250 feet of the highest annual tide line of the coastal wetland, where within the FEMA mapped 100-year flood boundary, where within 25 feet of a stream, where they contain ≥20,000 ft² of emergent marsh vegetation, and/or where they contain the Significant Wildlife Habitat; meet classification as MDEP “Wetlands of

Special Significance”. The remainder of wetlands on the site meet classification as

MDEP “Wetlands Not of Special Significance”.

The Maine Natural Areas Program (MNAP) maps a salt-hay saltmarsh vegetative community, ranked as S3 or “rare” in Maine, and G5 or “demonstrably secure globally”, on the western and northwestern sides of the site, associated with the tidal river and estuarine wetland. The MNAP recommends “avoiding development of the Shoreland

Zone (250’ from the tidal marsh edge) and maintaining natural vegetative cover in that area.”

The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (IF&W) maps a Tidal Waterfowl and Wading Bird Habitat (TWWH), which is a Significant Wildlife Habitat, in the coastal wetland along the northwestern and western portions of the site. IF&W recommends that their Region C wildlife staff be contacted “to discuss methods to avoid or limit impacts to these wildlife resources should any work be planned in or adjacent to this habitat.” IF&W also maps the site as within potential habitat of one or more of the eight species of bats that are currently Endangered, Threatened or species of Special

Concern in Maine. IF&W recommends that the USFWS be consulted regarding the bat habitat.

The US FWS maps the site as being within the habitat of the Northern Long Eared Bat, which is a federally listed Threatened species, and the Atlantic Salmon, a federally listed Endangered species. If the project will require a federal permit or will use federal funding, the federal action agency will determine if there are concerns regarding the project affecting these mapped habitats. Generally, Atlantic salmon are a concern if in-stream or near stream work will occur. Generally, bats are a concern if the site is near a known hibernacula or brooding tree, or if trees will be cut between about April 1 to

October 15.

If development is planned on the site that will alter greater than 15,000 square feet of

“Wetlands Not of Special Significance” or any amount of “Wetlands of Special

Significance”; will include in-stream or soil/vegetation disturbance within 75 feet of the streams; will include coastal wetland alterations or alterations within 250 feet of the coastal wetland; will include alterations to the Significant Wildlife Habitat; or involves tree cutting between about April 1 to October 15, we recommend that a pre-application meeting be held with the MDEP and Corps to discuss the project and potential permitting requirements.

Critical Habitat Assessment (Section 3b): The US FWS indicates that the Endangered

Atlantic Salmon and the Threatened Northern Long-Eared Bat “may occur or could potentially be affected by activities in this location.” As stated previously, generally, Atlantic salmon are a concern if streams or near-stream areas are to be disturbed.

Generally, bats are a concern if the site is near a known hibernacula or brooding tree, or if trees will be cut between about April 1 to October 15.

The US FWS also indicates that several species of migratory birds protected under the

Migratory Bird Treaty Act “could potentially be affected by activities in this location”, including the American Bittern, Bald Eagle, Bay-breasted Warbler, Black-billed Cuckoo, Canada Warbler, Great Cormorant, Hudsonian Godwit, Least Bittern, Least Tern, Nelson’s Sparrow, Olive-sided Flycatcher, Peregrine Falcon, Pied-billed Grebe, Purple

Sandpiper, Short-eared Owl, Upland Sandpiper, Willow Flycatcher, Wood Thrush and

Yellow Rail. A bird species and habitat study would need to be performed on this site to determine if these species are using (or have the potential to use) this site, and if they would be affected by the proposed development.

Coastal Zone Applicability (Section 3c): The site is within Maine’s Coastal Zone. The coastal wetland is a coastal feature which is located along the northwestern and western portions of the property. A portion of the property near Harrington River is located in Flood Hazard Zone A which is described as “Areas of the 100-year flood;

base flood elevations and flood hazard factors undetermined.” The flood zone associated with this property is not identified as being in any velocity (wave action) zones.
