Dear Commissioners&Applicant:
The Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program (NHESP) of the Massachusetts Division of
Fisheries & Wildlife received a Notice of Intent with site plans (dated 2/16/2012, revised 3/27/2012) in
compliance with the rare wildlife species section of the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act
Regulations (310 CMR 10.59). The NHESP also received the MESA Review Checklist and supporting
documentation for review pursuant to the MA Endangered Species Act Regulations(321 CMR 10.18).
WETLANDS PROTECTION ACT(WPA)
Based on a review of the information that was provided and the information that is currently contained in
our database, the NHESP has determined that this project, as currently proposed, will not adversely
affect the actual Resource Area Habitat of state-protected rare wildlife species. Therefore, it is our
opinion that this project meets the state-listed species performance standard for the issuance of an Order
of Conditions.
Please note that this determination addresses only the matter of rare wildlife habitat and does not pertain
to other wildlife habitat issues that may be pertinent to the proposed project.
MASSACHUSETTS ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT(MESA)
Based on a review of the information that was provided and the information that is currently contained in
our database, the NHESP has determined that this project, as currently proposed, will not result in a
prohibited "take" of state-listed rare species. This determination is a final decision of the Division of
Fisheries and Wildlife pursuant to 321 CMR 10.18. Any changes to the proposed project or any additional
work beyond that shown on the site plans may require an additional filing with the NHESP pursuant to
the MESA. This project may be subject to further review if no physical work is commenced within five
years from the date of issuance of this determination,or if there is a change to the project.
