Main Rd. &Youngs Ave.) CATelephone: 631765-1938 Southold, NY 11971 �l �Q P - Fax: 631 765-3136 y04UIdT`I,� LOCAL WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION PROGRAM TOWN OF SOUTHOLD MEMORANDUM To: Michael Domino, President Town of Southold Board of Trustees From: Mark Terry, LWRP Coordinator Date: May 15, 2018 Re: Local Waterfront Coastal Consistency Review for DOMELUCA II, LLC SCTM# 1000-23-1-2.10 The applicant proposes to clear and replant a significant area of existing vegetation located adjacent to Dam Pond, a high value wetland with recreational and commercial (shellfishing) use. Donald Wilson on behalf of DOMELUCA Il, LLC requests a Wetland Permit for bluff restoration along the irregularly shaped sections of the 36'x94' (2,837sq.ft.) northern area, and 326'x95' (48,770sq.ft.) shoreline area consisting of removing Privet (Ligustrum vulgare); and within the areas where vegetation is removed various plant species will be planted including Swamp Red Maple, Scarlet Oak, Eastern Red Cedar, Northern Arrowwood, Northern Bayberry, Beach Plum, Inkberry, Groundsel Bush, Switchgrass, Little Bluestem Grass, Sweetfern and Shadbush; and the existing intact Eastern Red Cedars will be retained. Located: 14895 Route 25, East Marion. SCTM# 1000- 23-1-2.10 The proposed action has been reviewed to Chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency Review of the Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy Standards. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department, as well as the records available to me, it is my recommendation that the proposed actions are INCONSISTENT with the below listed Policy Standards and therefore are INCONSISTENT with the LWRP. It is recommended that the Board clarify the total acreage where vegetation would be removed, if work would be staged and during what season removal of vegetation would begin Significant impacts to Dam Pond wildlife, water quality and shellfishing could result due to the removal of large areas of vegetation; resulting in the increase of erosion and turbidity during storm events. 6.3. Protect and restore tidal and freshwater wetlands. E. Maintain buffers to ensure that adverse effects of adjacent or nearby development are avoided. 1. Maintain buffers to achieve a high filtration efficiency of surface runoff. The existing vegetative buffers provide: 1. Denitrification and nutrient uptake. 2. Slow water runoff and enhance infiltration. 3. Trap pollutants in surface runoff. 4. Trap pollutants in subsurface flow. 5. Stabilize soils. The high quality of the Dam Pond wetland system should be considered in the method of removal of existing vegetation and long term maintenance. 2. Avoid permanent or unnecessary disturbance within buffer areas. The proposed action does not minimize unnecessary disturbance of a functioning, vegetated wetland buffer area. 3. Maintain existing indigenous vegetation within buffer areas. The proposal to remove Privet in the area should be selective and manual to avoid existing, beneficial vegetation. Existing trees and shrubs should not be disturbed. To facilitate views of the water, limbing up of trees could be allowed. F. Restore tidal wetlands and freshwater wetlands, wherever practical, to foster their continued existence as natural systems by. 3. manipulating biological-characteristics to emulate natural conditions through re- introduction of indigenous flora and fauna. The re-introduction of indigenous vegetation in the areas is supported. 4. protecting lands adjacent to wetlands from alterations so as to maximize natural buffers to wetlands. ZONES 1, 2, 3 and 4. The method to remove the Privet on a large scale is not selective enough to avoid beneficial vegetation in the areas. There is a concern that non-target vegetation (other than Privet) will be damaged or removed. The density and composition of the existing vegetation is much more effective as a buffer capable of nutrient uptake, storm water runoff control, erosion control, wildlife habitat and other functions and values. It is expected that the proposed landscaped buffer would not provide the functions and values that the current area provides. Additionally, fertilizers may- be needed to support the planted vegetation potentially providing additional nutrient loading to Dam Pond. It is recommended that existing trees and shrubs are not removed unless they threaten life or property. ZONE 4. The shadbush, quaking aspen, and black cherry proposed to be removed should be retained. The benefits of the vegetation outweigh their removal. The method (machine?) of removing the Privet on a large scale is not identified. The Common Reed proposed to be removed by salinity change and manually, although significant in area, is recommended as CONSISTENT with the LWRP provided the areas are re-vegetated with native species. In the event the action is approved, it is recommended that the restored areas are established as vegetated, non-turf buffers memorialized in a filed covenant and restriction. Vegetation within the buffers should remain undisturbed. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.

The property includes Suffolk County Tax Map Numbers 1000-23-1-2.7, 2.8, 2.9 and 1000-22-3-38. In total, approximately 9.3 acres are involved in the overall project site based solely on the Suffolk County Tax Map records. A copy of the Suffolk County Tax maps for the subject properties is found immediately following this page of the design narrative for the convenience of the reviewer. This project is being completed using the Invasive Plant Remediation plans prepared by Michael Boucher Landscape Architecture. For the purposes of this design narrative, the various sections of shoreline to be addressed are assigned priorities, as follows: Zone 1. This section of the overall 9.3 acre parcel is found in the northwest corner of the property. It is presently the location of an intact Intertidal Marsh, an intact High Marsh and an impacted bluff environment. This zone will be fully explored in the remainder of this document. Zone 2. This section of the overall 9.3 acre parcel is found in the northeast corner of the property. This section of the shoreline includes an intact Intertidal Marsh found along the immediate shoreline of Dam Pond. Landward of this area, High Marsh vegetation is present. The bluff community is again heavily impacted and is bordered on the uplands aspect by cedars with little understory. These cedars are of considerable age and appear to be near the end of their natural life cycle. Zone 3. This section of the property is located on the northern shoreline facing into Dam Pond and is the location of a spit of land which extends out into the water. This is the location of the historic waterfront access for Dam Pond. For this zone, there is a seaward aspect of Intertidal Marsh, a more expansive area of High Marsh and a rocky intertidal zone extending out onto the spit of land which extends into Dam Pond. The bluff vegetation contained in Zone 3 is heavily impacted and does not contain significant amounts of native vegetation. Zone 4. This section of the overall parcel includes the barn area and a lower bluff shoreline which transitions to a Common Reed wetlands swale and extensive areas of tidal wetlands. The area which includes bluff features is heavily impacted. The immediate shoreline is colonized by Intertidal Marsh which is then bordered by High Marsh vegetation. Along the bluff in this area, the vegetation has been heavily impacted by activities at the barn and at the bluff. There is also a swale dominated by Common Reed which is not typical of the shoreline on Dam Pond. The Common Reed is stunted by saltwater and is mainly located where the salinity is lowest in the swale between the driveway and the intact salt marshes found along Dam Pond. The Invasive Plant Remediation Plans have been reproduced in a reduced scale format immediately following this page of the Design Narrative. This section of the text also contains an 2 0 Domeluca,LLC-Invasive Plant Remediation INTEI-CIENCE aerial photograph which illustrates the entire parcel and the immediately surrounding natural environment of Dam Pond. The rocky intertidal shoreline of Dam Pond in general is in a pristine condition and is a very valuable example of intact Intertidal Marsh(IM) and High Marsh(HM)vegetation, as defined by New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. These wetlands habitats contribute significantly to the overall wetlands values in Dam Pond and East Marion, in general. The bluff habitat has been heavily impacted by cultural activities of the prior property owner(s). For reasons which are uncertain, the bulk of the bluff areas appear to have been planted to or allowed to grow up to privet. Privet is present in wide swaths in pure stands with little other vegetation native or non-native, invasive species able to survive. In addition to very modest amounts of native vegetation, other non-native, invasive vegetation is present. This includes areas colonized by Oriental Bittersweet,Tartarian Honeysuckle,Morrow's Honeysuckle,Japanese Honeysuckle, Russian and Autumn Olives. The following sections of the Design Narrative will present species list for the vegetation which has been observed on the subject property and a plant palette for species which may be utilized for planting the bluff areas where privet hedge is dominating the landscape. ****************************************************************************** The format of this section of the Design Narrative which will delineate the vegetation presently found on each section of the property. Per the introductory narrative,the sections of the property will be broken down into four zones which correspond with the mapping found on the Invasive Plant Remediation drawings prepared by Michael Boucher Landscape Architecture. The observed species were listed from on-site field inspections completed by Inter-Science Research Associates, Inc. staff on various dates over the past year. Zone 1. The following species were observed for Zone 1 as mapped on the Invasive Wetlands Remediation plans prepared by the landscape architect: Low Salt Marsh COMMON NAME SCIENTIFIC NAME Saltmarsh Cordgrass Spartina alterniflora Knotted Wrack Ascophyllum nodosum Rockweed Fucus vesiculosus Sea Lettuce Ulva spp. Hollow Green Weeds Enteromorpha spp. Glassworts Salicornia depressa S. bigelovii Salt Marsh Sand-spurry Spergularia marina Sea Blites Suaeda spp. The intertidal marsh in Zone 1 is in good shape. This area should be left undisturbed as no invasive vegetation is present in this location 3 • Domeluca,LLC•Invasive Plant Remediation INTEI�-5QENCE High Salt Marsh Salt-meadow Grass Spartina patens Spikegrass Distichlis spicata Black-grass Juncus gerardii Glassworts Salicornia spp. Switchgrass Panicum virgatum Sea-lavender Limonium carolinianum Seaside Gerardia Agalinus maritima Slender Perennial Saltmarsh Aster Symphyotrichum tenuifolium Marsh Elder Iva frutescens Groundsel Bush Baccharis halimifolia The high marsh in Zone 1 is also in good shape. This estuarine community should be protected through the use of the following silt trap: Silt Trap 1. Project limiting fence. Snow fence on 8 foot metal stakes located at upland edge of high marsh. 2. 36"wide landscape fabric stapled to snow fence 18"up with the remainder lain out onto the ground. 3. Straw bales lain end to end along landscape fabric above snow fence. This will prevent the loss of silt into the wetlands features along Dam Creek. In the short term, the soils above this area will be disturbed when the privet is removed. Maritime Shrubland Serviceberry Amelanchier canadensis Northern Bayberry Myrica pensylvanica Black Cherry Prunus serotina Southern Arrowwood Viburnum dentatum Shining Sumac Rhus copallinium Eastern Red Cedar Juniperus virginiana Poison Ivy Toxicodendron radicans Virginia Creeper Parthenocissus quinquefolia Common Greenbrier Smilax rotundifolia Grass-leaved Goldenrod Euthamia graminifolia Little Bluestem Schizachyrium scoparium 4 • Domeluca,LLC•Invasive Plant Remediation INTER,-5QENCE 4 r - .7 Figure l:This photograph depicts the open grassed area above Zone 1,as shown on MBLA,Inc.plans. It is noted that the typical species representative of maritime shrubland communities are found on the dry seaside bluffs in areas exposed to onshore winds and salt spray. In Zone 1, this community has been significantly disturbed and is dominated by privet(Ligustrum spp.). It appears that cultural activities on this property in the recent past included massive planting of Privet to the extent that it is present in nearly a pure stand. Although well established,this species offers little habitat value and wildlife benefit. It is recommended that the privet be removed on a wide scale basis and replaced with native trees,masses of native shrubs, clumps of native grasses and drifts of native wildflowers. Furthermore, it is noted that Zone 1 is also the location of other invasive,non-native vegetation. These species should also be removed. The vegetation listed below is present in much lower concentrations and should be selectively removed. Replacement vegetation will be recommended in later sections of this report. The following additional invasive plants are present in Zone 1: Norway Maple Acer platanoides Garlic Mustard Alliaria petiolata Porcelainberry Ampelopsis brevipedunculata Japanese Barberry Berberis thunbergii Oriental Bittersweet Celastrus orbiculatus Spotted or Bushy Knapweed Centaurea maculosa Russian Olive Elaeagnus angustifolia Autumn Olive E. umbellate Morrow's Honeysuckle Lonicera morrowii Tartarian Honeysuckle L. tatarica 5 • Domeluca,LLC•Invasive Plant Remediation INTEI,-50ENCE Japanese Honeysuckle L.japonica Purple Loosestrife Lythrum salicaria Japanese Stilt Grass Microstegium vimeneum Japanese Knotweed Polygonum cuspidatum Smooth Buckthorn Rhamnus frangula Black Locust Robinia pseudoacacia The above species are included on the List of Top Invasive Plants in New York. Selective removal of each would represent an environmental benefit of the maritime shrubland in this location. The view to Dam Pond illustrates the large swath of privet present from the top of the bluff to the tidal wetlands along the shoreline of Dam Pond. In this area,the privet should be removed and replaced by native trees,masses of native shrubs, clumps of native grasses and drifts of native wildflowers. Healthy trees should be examined by a certified arborist and lopped to remove dead and diseased branches. Health native shrubs should be retained. Where native plant material has grown leggy trying to compete with privet, the Northern Bayberry and other similar native vegetation can be managed by cutting back and maintaining a height of 4-6 feet by trimming. This will encourage the plant to come back fuller and in a more natural manner. General recommendations on planting open areas, where privet has been removed on a wholesale basis, will be offered in the later sections of this design narrative. y i. �. Figure 2:This Photograph illustrates dead and diseased Black Cherry trees. Figure#2: These trees should be removed and replaced with native vegetation. A detailed drawing which illustrates the existing vegetation present in Zone 1 is found immediately following this page for the convenience of the reviewer.

The top of the bluff for Zone 2 is the location of a modest number of tall Eastern Red Cedars. These trees have been lopped over the years and lack branches until the tops of the trees. It appears that these trees have reached the end of their useful life and should be removed. Although native,these cedars are not growing in a natural condition and should be replaced with a more representative mixture of native trees,masses of native shrubs, clumps of native grasses and drifts of native wildflowers. � ; A Figure 3:This photograph taken at Zone 2 from the lawn across overgrown trees to the privet-dominated shoreline.

When the property owner designs waterfront access for this parcel,the dock assembly should include a fixed pier catwalk elevated 4'-6"over the grade of vegetated wetlands as measured to the bottom of the stringers in conformance with Army Corps of Engineers standards. The dock assembly should also include a ramp up which provides full elevation at the landward limit of the tidal wetlands line. These mitigation measures will protect the wetlands associated with Dam Pond. The dock should be decked with plastic Thruflow decking, fiberglass open grid decking or equivalent so that sunlight will penetrate through the deck to the vegetated wetlands thereby insuring that the wetlands will persist. The existing pathway should be used for future waterfront access as it currently exists and clearing will not be needed if the path follows a similar access way to the pond.

A wider swath of bluff vegetation is present in Zone 4 as compared to 1, 2 and 3. Similar to the other zones, however, the saltmarsh is in good shape. Additionally, privet is widespread in the bluff for Zone 4. A final consideration is the presence of a stunted stand of Common Reed where the swale is present off of the immediate shoreline of Dam Pond Low Salt Marsh COMMON NAME SCIENTIFIC NAME Saltmarsh Cordgrass Spartina alterniflora Knotted Wrack Ascophyllum nodosum Rockweed Fucus vesiculosus Sea Lettuce Ulva spp. Hollow Green Weeds Enteromorpha spp. Glassworts Salicornia depressa S. bigelovii Salt Marsh Sand-spurry Spergularia marina Sea Blites Suaeda spp. The intertidal Marsh in Zone 4 is in good shape.

However,as the entry of the parcel is reached, there is a swale which is located in a low area parallel to the entry drive. This is an area which received tidal inundation from Dam Pond but is more influenced by freshwater, is generally less saline and does not receive sufficient tidal flushing to promote a healthy estuarine community. As a result, this section of the property is dominated by Common Reed. Common Reed(Phragmites communis) is present in a shortened, stunted version in the swale. This is likely due to the moderate tidal flushing. Where salinities reach 20 parts per thousand to 35 parts per thousand, Common Reed typically loses vigor and is out competed by healthy Intertidal and High Marsh species. In areas where the salinity is 5 parts per thousand to 20 parts per thousand, Common Reed may dominate. In this type of salinity regime, Common Reed reproduces by rhizome and builds elevation by thatch. As the elevation of the Common 13 0 Domeluca,LLC-Invasive Plant Remediation INTEL-QENCE Reed thatch increases,other native vegetation loses vigor and eventually gives way to a pure stand of Common Reed. This area could be addressed by various techniques. Typically, Common Reed invasion in a swale connected to an intact estuarine community may be managed by the following technique: Open Water Marsh Management In this alternative, the swale would be opened by through the installation of a ditch installed from high water to low water in elevation and for a width sufficient to bring salt water into the swale. A pond would be created at the end of the swale to ensure that the salinity dominating in this location was increased to 20 PPT to 35 PPT. In this manner, the Common Reed would be stunted and native vegetation would begin to flourish again. Selective Cutting This method is used throughout the South Fork of Long Island in an effort to reduce the vigor of the Common Reed which is growing in a pure stand for a shoreline adjacent to intact ' r VOPM ,: x ik- Figure 7.Specifically,this color photograph documents the area immediately surrounding the barn for the convenience of the reviewer. It shows bittersweet vines,black cherry trees in poor shape and larger trees including Quaking Aspen(Populus tremuloides)trees which are typically found in disturbed environments. 14 0 Domeluca,LLC•Invasive Plant Remediation INTER-'qQENCE wetlands. By selective cutting several times a year,removing the thatch and raking the ground to remove all Common Reed build-up,native plants can be encouraged. This is a successful method to handle Common Reed utilized on a regular basis by environmental consultants, contractors and regulatory agencies on the eastern end of Long Island. Hand Removal Hand removal is also a method in widespread use on the eastern end of Long Island. In this method,the Common Reed is cut off and removed. The rhizome left is dug by hand and shovel removed to a wheel barrow, transported to a truck for disposal off site. This manner is particularly successful where the salinities are low. All of the above methods will work on Common Reed management for this property. The Common Reed infestation is limited to the swale which parallels the entry drive. It is recommended that the Common Reed be removed so that it does not spread to other sections of the low and high marsh along the shoreline of Dam Pond. Figure 8:This photograph shows overgrown Quaking Aspen trees,large areas of Privet and isolated Black Cherry trees which are overgrown,in poor shape and in need of management. i Maritime Shrubland The maritime shrubland in Zone 4 is moderately different than that present in the other sections of the property. Some larger trees, invasive and non-native are present especially in the immediate vicinity of the barn. In addition, the privet in this area should be removed as recommended for Zone 1, 2 and 3. Furthermore, all other invasive species present in the dry seaside bluffs located to the north and to the southeast of the existing barn should be selectively removed. 15 0 Domeluca,LLC•Invasive Plant Remediation INTER- This vegetation should be removed and replaced with native trees,masses of native shrubs, clumps of native grasses and drifts of native wildflowers. A detailed drawing which illustrates the existing vegetation present in Zone 4 is found immediately following this page for the convenience of the reviewer. It shows the native wetlands vegetation present in the High Marsh and Intertidal Marsh. Please note that the open water areas are designated shoals, bars and mudflats consistent with New York State Department of Environmental Conservation definitions. It also approximates the location of Shadbush and other native vegetation which will be retained. The Black Cherry, Norway Maples and Quaking Aspen trees in poor shaped should be removed and replaced with native vegetation. Native vegetation which is in good shape should be retained and managed per recommendations found in later sections of this design narrative. Recommendations for the Management of the Maritime Shrubland in All Zones The following section of this Design Narrative will contain precise recommendations for management of the dry seaside bluffs for the shoreline zones shown on the Invasive Plan Remediation Plans prepared by MBLA, Inc. Michael Boucher Landscape Architect has designated 4 zones which are discussed above. For each of the 4 zones, the following recommendations are made for the large scale removal of Privet. 1. Privet(Ligustrum spp.) is present in nearly pure stand from the eastern property line to the entry of the property. This is an unusual situation. Although it is relative common to observe privet growing in open areas,particularly those areas which are disturbed by human activity, it is unusual to see privet dominate a landscape in any situation. 2. Privet is especially not expected to dominate an entire bluff community from an intact low marsh and high marsh shoreline to the top of bluff and residentially developed parcel. Notwithstanding this statement,the entire bluff is dominated by privet growing in a nearly pure stand. 3. The privet should be cut low and removed from the property along with root ball for all areas to be reclaimed. For the reasons discussed earlier, the intact saltmarsh communities should be protected using a project limiting fence and a silt trap. 4. After the privet is removed, the debris should be stockpiled and managed, to the degree possible, on the project site. Specifically, the bulk of the material should be chipped and recycled as mulch for the bluffs to be restored. 5. All exposed sections of the bluff should be mulched and planted as quickly as possible. Utilizing the Priority assignments for each of the zones, the planting should be done in sections so that the entire bluff is not exposed and made vulnerable to large scale erosion. For the plant back,the following is a plant palette for the materials to be used on the bluffs for each of the 4 zones shown on the Michael Boucher Landscape Architecture plans.

It is noted that American Beech, American Holly and Flowering Dogwood are difficult to establish and therefore their use should be limited to carefully selected locations where they can be expected to flourish. The oak trees specified can be used more generally. Cedar trees are present on site and will likely be the most useful larger plant material for invasive species remediation. Gray Birch succeeds in old field and first growth wood situations and should be useful for the bluff planting. Pitch Pine is used for restoring natural habitats on Long Island. Shadbush is a native understory planting used for naturalization and is present on this site. In terms of native shrubs, the use of Groundsel Bush immediately landward of wetlands features is recommended. Maritime shrubs including Northern Bayberry, Beach Plum and Virginia Rose is recommended slightly higher on the bluffs. Arrowwood, Inkberry and Winterberry are attractive native plants which may also do well on the bluff. Shining or Winged Sumac is present on the bluff and is a useful shrub planted in a massed setting on bluffs. Lowbush Blueberry may be used as under-planting for oak trees. In open sandy areas, Beach Grass, Beach Pea, Beach Wormwood and Seaside Goldenrod may be used. In many bluff restorations, Beach Grass is the primary species planted although the bluffs on this site may have limited open sandy areas for this type of planting. Rose Mallow may be valuable landward of the tidal wetlands found on this property. Prickly Pear is often used with Eastern Red Cedar and Little Bluestem to restore areas adjacent to tidal wetlands on Long Island. 18 0 Domm eluca,LLC•Invasive Plant Reediation INTEI�CZENCE Native clump grasses are present on the project site and can be used for open, sunny areas. The native wildflowers listed are used in habitat restoration across Long Island. Blue Vervain is an ideal companion for areas planted to Switchgrass.
