The Agency received a complete application from VT Gas Systems, Inc. for Vermont Wetland Permit on December 11, 2014. 2. The wetland and adjacent 50-foot buffer zone are located approximately 10 feet south of the intersection of Timber Lane and Haves Drive, in Burlington, VT. The subject wetland is essentially separated by Timber Lane and Twin Oaks Terrace. 3. Zapata Courage, District Wetlands Ecologist, conducted a site visit to the subject property with Patricia Greene -Swift of Gilman & Briggs Environmental and Diana Camaiani of VTGAS on September 30, 2014. 4. The subject wetland is identified as a palustrine wetland on the Vermont Significant Wetlands Inventory maps and therefore is designated as a Class II wetland under VWR § 4.6. 5. The wetland in question is described in detail in Sections 7 and 8 of the permit application. The wetland complex is approximately 5 acres of wetland that include areas of remnant natural forested and emergent wetland, ditched wetland areas, wetland swales carrying stormwater to and through culverts, and wet areas along a disturbed power line corridor. Overall the wetland complex is composed of 40% forested, 40% emergent, and 20% highly disturbed shrub/emergent wetland areas. The subject wetland is near the corner of Hayes and Timber Lane, where a portion of it has been looped through a system of swales and culverts for stormwater control. The wetland is naturally vegetated, dominated by Ulmus americana, Betula populifolia, Acer rubrum, Thuja occidentalis, Fraxinus pensylvanica, Ilex verticillata, Viburnum dentatum, Carpinus caroliniana, Betula populifolia, Betula alleghaniensis, Onoclea sensibilis, Rubus oubescens, Thelvpteris oalustris, Thalictrum oubescens with large areas converted to lawn. Soils were described as black histic, saturated to the surface with water ponded in low topographic areas and water stained leaves observed. A forested portion of the wetland did exhibit ponding. 6. The proposed project is described in detail in Sections 10 and 11 of the permit application. The project consists of the installation of residential gas lines for condominiums in the Twin Oaks development. 7. Proposed impacts to the wetland and buffer zone, summarized in Section 12 of the permit application, are as follows: r 5 of 6 VT Gas Systems, Inc. 2014-308 8. The protected functions of the wetland complex include the following: water storage for flood water and storm runoff (VWR § 5.1), surface and groundwater protection (VWR § 5.2), wildlife and migratory bird habitat (VWR § 5.4), and open space and aesthetics (VWR § 5.9). 9. The protected functions of the subject wetland include the following: water storage for flood water and storm runoff (VWR § 5.1), surface and groundwater protection (VWR § 5.2), wildlife and migratory bird habitat (VWR § 5.4), and open space and aesthetics (VWR § 5.9). 10. The following functions are either not present or are present at such a minimal level as to not be protected functions: fish habitat (VWR § 5.3), exemplary wetland natural community (VWR § 5.5), threatened and endangered species habitat (VWR § 5.6), education and research in natural sciences (VWR § 5.7), recreational value and economic benefits (VWR § 5.8), and erosion control through binding and stabilizing the soil (VWR § 5.10). 11. The subject wetland is significant for the water storage for flood water and storm runoff function as demonstrated in Section 16 of the permit application. Based on the factors described in Section 16.2 of the application, as confirmed through a site visit by Agency staff, the proposed project will not result in an undue adverse impact to this function. 12. The wetland is significant for the surface and ground water protection function as described in Section 17 of the permit application. Based on the factors described in Section 17.2 of the application, as confirmed through a site visit by Agency staff, the proposed project will not result in an undue adverse impact to this function. 13. The wetland is significant for the wildlife and migratory bird habitat function as described in Section 19 of the permit application. Based on the factors described in Section 19.2 of the application, as confirmed through a site visit by Agency staff, the proposed project will not result in an undue adverse impact to this function. 14. The wetland is significant for the open space and aesthetics as demonstrated in Section 24 of the permit application. Based on the factors described in Section 24.2 of the application, as confirmed through a site visit by Agency staff, the proposed project will not result in an undue adverse impact to this function. 15. Under 10 V.S.A. § 913 and VWR § 9.5, the Secretary may authorize activities in a Class I1 wetland or in its buffer zone if the Secretary determines that it complies with the VWR and will have no undue adverse effect on the protected functions and values. Based on the permit application, the site visit(s) by Agency staff, and the foregoing findings and 6 of 6 VT Gas Systems, Inc. 2014-308 analysis, the Secretary has determined that the proposed project will have no undue adverse effects on the protected functions and values of the subject Class I1 wetlands. 16. Pursuant to VWR § 9.5(b), the permittee has demonstrated that the proposed activity in the subject wetland cannot practicably be located outside the wetland or on another site owned, controlled, or available to satisfy the basic project purpose. All practicable measures have been taken in this proposal to avoid adverse impacts on protected functions, as described in the application. A portion of the gas line was moved to avoid buffer impacts; however, in order to connect to the existing infrastructure within the condominiums the gas lines are necessarily placed at the backs of buildings, and the gas main connection for this project already exists on Timber Lane. 17.

Date of visit with District List people present for site visits including Wetlands Ecologist Ecologist, landowner, and representatives. September 301h, 2014 Zapata Courage, VT Wetland Ecologist, Patricia Greene -Swift Gilman & Briggs Environmental, and Diana Camaiani of VTGAS. The wetland is a Class II wetland because (Choose one) The wetland is mapped on the VSWI map Answer the following questions regarding the entire wetland or wetland complex. A wetland complex is generally defined as two or more wetland types that are contiguous and interrelated. Specific questions about the wetland in the project area will follow. Can be obtained from the Environmental Interest Locator Map for mapped wetlands 5 +/- Acres of wetland that include areas of remnant natural forested and emergent wetland, ditched wetland areas, wetland swales carrying stormwater to and through culverts, and disturbed power line corridor. List all wetland types in the wetland or wetland complex and their abundance or relative abundance. For example: 50 acres of softwood forested swamp; or 30% scrub swamp, 70% emergent wetland 40% forested wetland, 40% emergent wetland, 20% highly disturbed shrub/emerqent wetland. Where is the wetland located on the landscape? Examples: bottom of a basin, edge of a stream, shore of a lake, etc. The wetland complex is in a topographic low point, on a step in slope above Potash Brook (located north of the Twin Oaks Development). Describe the main source of wetland hydrology for the wetland complex. List any river, streams, lakes and ponds. The main source of water for the wetland complex is precipitation, snowmelt in spring, runoff from the surrounding densely developed housing complex and its infrastructure, and small areas of groundwater discharge. Include answers to the following where appropriate: For example: stream flows from north to south through the wetland complex. There is no natural stream or river flow associated with the subject wetland. However, drainage swales carry water to and from the wetland, to lawns and into culverts that, during high precipitation events flow into a stormwater system. For example: The river provides flood water to the wetland in the spring. There was no stream or river found that is associated with the hydrology in the wetland complex. Distance between the project area and any nearby surface waters. 10' in the area of the houses to 1300' (feet) away to the large wetland associated with Potash Brook, near Kennedy Drive. Discuss frequency and duration of flooding, ponding, and/or soil saturation. Soil is saturated throughout the growing season --no flooding was evident during the wetland delineation & functional evaluation. However, it is believed that both ponding and flooding of the wetland is normal in the spring months due to OBL plants present in the wetland and its associated ditches, water stained leaves, and a vernal pool present in the wetland. A forested portion of the wetland did exhibit ponding--and it appears to have a vernal pool function. For example: rural residential and forested; agricultural and undeveloped, High density residential development, lawn, residential infrastructure, commercial development, roads, and isolated patches of wetland and forest. Provide any information on wetlands or wetland complexes that are close AA10 A--1i,.-+i. n711 Ql')01 d Paae 3 Nearby Wetlands enough to contribute to the overall function of the wetland in question.

Motion passed unanimously. 13. Miscellaneous Application #MS-09-07 of Twin Oaks Homeowners Association to alter the existing grade by removing more than 20 cubic yards of fill to reconstruct a storm water pond. Twin Oaks Terrace (Twin Oaks Condominiums): Mr. McClellan noted the Stormwater Superintendent supports this. Mr. Belair said staff has no issues. Ms. Quimby moved to approve Miscellaneous Application #MS-09-07 of Twin Oaks Homeowners Association subject to the stipulations in the draft motion. Mr. Birmingham seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 14. Site Plan Application #SP-09-63 of Burlington International Airport to construct two additional parking levels to an existing two -level parking garage to accommodate 1370 vehicles, 1200 Airport Drive: Mr. McEwing said this will be a phased project. Two levels will be added with a roof. On the roof they propose to add solar, a green area, and a viewing area. The finished structure will hold 1400 cars. The northern end will be built first. Mr. McEwing noted the existing structure is full almost all the time now. Mr. Dinklage raised the possibility of a pedestrian connection across Airport Drive. Mr. McEwing said they are not doing anything like that. There are existing crosswalks, and they don't see the need for anything additional. Ms. LaRose said there is a concern for pedestrians, even those not going to the Airport, since the addition will generate more traffic. Mr. Dinklage asked Airport people to work with staff on that issue as part of the traffic analysis. Mr. Dinklage raised the question of on -site traffic problems and asked if they are close to needing two ramp systems. Mr. DeBaie said that rental cars already have their own ramp system. He also noted that the garage never empties all at once. Ms. LaRose said she has been told the garage is very difficult to navigate. Mr. McEwing said they will improve lighting and provide lighted signs. Mr. Dinklage asked about landscaping and asked how much of the roof garden would count toward the requirement. Mr. Lawrence reviewed plantings and costs that would qualify. He gave members photos of the "green screen" on the roof perimeter. This would be composed of deciduous vines. Ms. LaRose noted the regulations require "trees and shrubs," so a waiver would be required for what the Airport is proposing. Mr. Belair said there is also the issue of whether this would create a precedent. Mr. Leinwohl said the building is already heavily landscaped. Ms. LaRose said there can be trees planted on other spots on the Airport site.
