We will forward to MADOT and bring it to their attention. The culverts are the responsibility of MADOT. When we met with them last month, they stated that they would look into possibly cleaning the existing culverts. In regards to the existing conditions at the Trustees properties and the abutters' properties, our Client is charged with reviewing existing and post development conditions and develop a stormwater management system such that we meet the MADEP: Standard 2. Stormwater management systems shall be designed so that the post-development peak discharge rates do not exceed pre-development peak discharge rates. We have exceeded this standard and based on the drainage calculations, the post-development discharges rates and volumes were actually reduced in the northern portion of the site.

Trustees staff has walked the Swale and we believe that adjustments can be made to the existing swale, running west parallel to the boundary line, in order to direct water away from abutters and towards the existing culvert.The Trustees will maintain the long-term functionality of this swale through clearing of leaves, debris and large woody plant material.

That said I do recommend a condition be included requiring that the applicant work with the MassDOT on having the existing culvert pipe, inlet, and outlet, that crosses Chickering Road/Rte.125, cleaned out and confirmed it is operational and written confirmation be provided to the Town indicating that the work has been completed. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. -John John J. Borgesi, P.E.

The design engineer indicated that any discharge would be directed towards an existing culvert that crosses under Route 125 towards the west. The design engineer also indicated via email that this culvert pipe has collapsed. Upon inspection the culvert pipe appears to be a clay pipe that a piece was broken off but does not appear to have collapsed and looks to just need to be cleaned out and likely would function. Upon walking this area the existing clay culvert appears to be located approximately 240 feet away from the proposed discharge area behind an existing stone wall and there is no defined swale to direct any discharge towards the clay culvert inlet. If this proposed design is approved, my recommendation is that a more defined swale I'deep be graded from the discharge pipe directly towards the inlet of the clay pipe. This will require the removal of a portion of the existing stone wall to direct any discharge directly to the culvert. Furthermore, this culvert inlet will also need to be cleaned out and the culvert itself inspected for functionality as part of the proposed work. Alternatively upon further review of the proposed roadway and southerly portion of the site, there is a second (approximately 4'x 4') box culvert located approximately 130 feet from the proposed infiltration basin. It appears that the infiltration basin outlet control structure could be relocated to the southerly side of the basin (opposite from the Old Village Lane properties) and the outlet pipes be installed under the proposed access drive and outlet towards the box culvert inlet. This option seems to be easier to construct and requires less clearing than the first option of discharging towards the north and having to install a swale up to the northerly culvert. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thank you. -John John J. Borgesi, P.E.

Note that I had an email exchange with Elizabeth Keary Soule regarding this project over the course of a couple weeks in early August. The questions/comments below are from myself[the wording may not coincide with the two does that are attached to your original email from yesterday] and are cut and pasted from those emails.While some of the issues seemed to be resolved through that exchange process, questions still remain which I'd like to see addressed formally by a registered designed profession and on letterhead or a stamped plan[s] before this project is approved. • I see the note about the'Minimum Turning Radius for Fire Truck Pumper' however I can't ascertain from the plan whether or not the template I attached to my earlier email was employed. One reason for me questioning is that the drawing shows a section of the fire access road as being '38' MIN (length of one fire truck)'.We use our Ladder truck for the template as it is our largest piece of apparatus and is 40'2.25" long,so the distance stated doesn't accurately reflect our largest vehicle. Can you confirm that our template was run on the paved section of the plan? • Will the surface be capable of supporting an imposed load from fire apparatus of up to 75,000 lbs? • Could you advise as to the dimensions of the proposed reinforced turf lane, in terms of length, width and overall square footage? While the drawing shows the width and square footage of the proposed lane, it doesn't provide the length.With regard to the width shown on the plan (12'), per 527 CMR 18.2.3.4.1.1 Fire department access roads shall have an unobstructed width of not less than 20 feet(6.1 m). Additionally, knowing the length of the proposed access road is critical as per 527 CMR 18.2.3.4.4 Dead Ends. Dead-end fire department access roads in excess of 150 ft(46 m)in length shall be provided with approved provisions for fire apparatus to turn around. Using simple math and not considering the larger area adjacent to the welcome center, 3415/12=284.58 ft. Please advise of the length so we can determine if a'turnaround'will need to be added. • Will you provide us with stamped drawings and documentation of the surface design by a registered design professional? • How will the fire lane be marked so it is evident to our members where apparatus can and cannot travel? Signage indicating where the fire access road begins would be required but I'd also like to see the lane defined for its entire length/width etc so it is obvious to our personnel where our apparatus can safely go. Bearing in mind the intended use of the location, I'd be open to considering some type of natural indicator, say planters or shrubs etc, that when maintained properly will define the lane and be visible to us while keeping it functional and accessible.Additionally, how will the road be maintained during the winter months, in particular after snow?Will plowing it damage the surface and eliminate it rating? • if approved, the surface will need to be maintained in proper working order while used as a required fire lane. Any questions, let me know.
