This is a Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act Determination of Applicability document issued by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation Highway Division for Proposal No. 616282-135581. The document addresses three bridge projects in Ashfield: Bridge A-13-014, Bridge A-13-020, and Bridge A-13-026. Each bridge determination of applicability is presented separately within the document structure, spanning pages A00851-3 through A00851-26. The project relates to maintenance and preservation of municipal bridges across multiple municipalities including Ashfield, Charlemont, Conway, and Hawley. The document serves as supporting environmental documentation for the bridge preservation initiative.

The Determination of Applicability documents contain detailed environmental assessments required under Massachusetts wetlands protection regulations for each of the three bridge projects. These determinations establish whether proposed bridge work activities are subject to wetlands protection review and identify any environmental considerations or mitigation measures necessary for project execution. The documentation is essential for proceeding with the bridge maintenance and preservation work and has been prepared in compliance with state environmental regulations. Bidders are instructed not to use COMMBUYS to submit bids for this project, indicating a specific procurement process requirement for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation Highway Division.
