NRC Director www.bscgroup.com 525 Washington Street Wellesley, Massachusetts 02482 Re: Wellesley Country Club New Maintenance Facilities Project; DEP File No. 324-647 Wellesley, Massachusetts Response to Questions Raised at the September 12 th Hearing Dear Members of the Committee: On behalf of the Wellesley Country Club, this letter addresses the questions raised by the Wetlands Protection Committee (WPC) at the September 13 th hearing as well as questions raised in Mr. Patrick Gamer's (reviewer for an abutters group) letter of September 14 th• The Wetlands Protection Committee asked the Applicant to address four items: 1. Provide construction details on the drywell drain at the end of the proposed swale. An additional detail for the proposed drywell drain has been provided on Sheet C5.2 (detail 9) which is submitted to the WPC with this letter. 2. Can the end of the proposed infiltration swale and the drywell be moved out of the Inner Riparian Zone? At the WPC's request, we have shortened the infiltration swale so that the entire swale and its terminus (the drywell drain) is outside the Inner Riparian Zone. This system is sized to infiltrate 100% of the runoff from the 100-year event. Terminating the swale slightly upslope from where it was originally shown means that there is a small part of the watershed closest to the proposed GrassPave™ system that will not flow towards the swale. This area will be captured in the Engineers GrassPave™ system described below. EnVironmental To anticipate the abutters' question, this letter also addresses the siting of the Scientists drywell within the Outer Riparian Zone. 310 CMR 10.58(4)( d) 1 states: "The GIS Consultants calculation of square footage of alteration shall exclude areas of replication or compensatory flood storage required to meet performance standards for other Landscape resource areas, or any area of restoration within the riverfront area. The calculation Architects also shall exclude areas used for structural stormwater management measures, provided there is no practicable alternative to siting these structures within the Planners Surveyors
