MOTION BY ALDERMAN DEANE FOR FINAL PASSAGE OF R-16-048
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Deane

| have a few things that I’d like to explain to the general public. If | have offended anyone in the audience
| apologize. | didn’t mean anything by it. | am a little perplexed about the claims of transparency issues.
| am of the belief that that couldn’t be further from the truth. There was a request by a citizen for all
information pertaining to the activity that had gone on with the skate board park committee. You are
correct: we haven’t met in three years so there are no minutes. Ms. Lovering would be posting the
meetings if they were scheduled. This is the e-mail that was sent to Mrs. Johnson from Dory Clark,
Deputy Corporation Counsel and it contained eight attachments. One of the attachments had all of the
locations mentioned that was stated earlier that no one knew about. These are all public documents.
This is from Attorney Clarke:

“Hello Paula,

As you have requested | have collected the available information on the Nashua Skateboard Park
relocation Board which is attached. First, just to make sure there is no confusion, these documents
relate to the Nashua Skateboard Park relocation Board created in 2013 by then Mayor Lozeau. It was
chaired by Alderman Deane and members included some city staff and some citizens. | have attached
minutes from three of the meetings; 4/11/13, 6/16/13 and 8/1/13. Also attached is an informational
packet given to members of this Board and a presentation of the 44 Broad Street site and R-14-018 as
introduced, which started without any action at the end of 2012/2013 legislative term. More recently

° Project Permitting Plan Set (i.e. complete 60% design plans set, including grading
plans, cross-sections and details)

° Wetlands Impact Plans

e Mitigation Proposal

e Supplementary Information required for Prime Wetlands applications in Env-Wt
704.03

We assume that each application will be classified as a major impact under Env-Wt 407 and that
a public hearing will be required pursuant to Env-Wt 704.04. An initial client draft of the permit
application will be submitted to the Client for review and comment prior to finalization and
submittal to NHDES. Because the permit application fee cannot be calculated at this time, our

proposed fee does not include this cost.

VHB assumes that the City will be responsible for determining ownership of the bed of the river
and for coordinating with affected property owners to obtain easements, written permission, or

signatures on the application form as appropriate.
Task 6. US Army Corps of Engineers, Clean Water Act, Section 404 Permitting

Based on our experience with similar projects in NH, VHB expects that the Corps will authorize
the project via the Statewide Programmatic General Permit {i.e., the project will not require an
individual permit). We will prepare wetland project plans in the standard US Army Corps of
Engineers format (no larger than 11 X 17 in with bar scale) for the Corps’ records and will
complete the Corps’ "Appendix B” document relative to indirect and cumulative impacts for

submittal to the Corps.
Task 7. Alteration of Terrain Coordination

At this time, it appears that the area of significant ground disturbance associated with the
project will exceed the 50,000 square foot Alteration of Terrain (AoT) permit trigger for projects

located within Protected Shoreland.

Assuming the permit is required, VHB will develop sediment and erosion control plans which will
be submitted with the AoT permit application. [Note: VHB assumes the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and Construction General Permit (CGP) Notice of Intent will be
prepared and submitted by the selected contractor(s).] The plans will rely on site-specific

information. Under this task, VHB will:

e Prepare temporary and permanent stormwater management and erosion control plans in
accordance with NHDES and United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)

regulations,
