excavation and stone removal work. Digital photographs and sketch/measured
drawings will be taken as safety considerations allow.
F. The City, with the assistance of a 36 CFR 61 and 950 CMR 70 qualified
archaeologist, will conduct walkover of the upstream impoundment following the
dewatering and removal of the dam to establish an existing conditions baseline in
advance of the natural sediment mobilization in the naturally deep ravine that
characterizes this portion of the original brook drainage. The walkover will consist
of close ground surface inspection to locate and identify potentially significant
archaeological resources. The City, with the assistance of the 36 CFR 61 qualified
archeologist, will consult with the MOA signatories regarding the need for the
protection or mitigation of any resources that may be identified.

Archaeological Site Avoidance and Protection Plan
Upper Roberts Meadow Reservoir Dam Removal Project

Northampton, Massachusetts
In accordance with Stipulation I of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the Upper Roberts
Meadow Reservoir Dam Removal Project, this archaeological site avoidance and protection plan
(ASAPP) has been developed to protect the three archaeologically sensitive areas downstream of
the dam including portions of the Edwards-Moody-Hoxie Tannery Site that are not within direct
project construction impact areas. Specific avoidance and protection strategies are detailed below
that will be implemented to ensure that the integrity of the archaeological site and sensitive areas
are maintained throughout the dam removal project.
The Edwards-Moody-Hoxie Tannery Site is recommended eligible for listing on the National
Register of Historic under Criteria A and D, and possibly B and C, at the local and/or state levels
for its potential to yield important information relating to early water-powered tannery operations
and improvements to the tanning process that saved in manual labor and increased profitability.
The site was identified during an intensive (locational) archaeological survey conducted by PAL in
2016, which resulted in the identification of four building foundation remains, two wheel pits, and
a stone-lined raceway that are within and adjacent to the proposed temporary dow'nstream access
route for the dam removal construction work on the north side of Roberts Meadow Brook. There is
also the potential for belowground remains of documented tanning vats or leaches on a broad, flat
terrace to the south and east of the building foundations. A site avoidance fence line and associated
polygon has been established on the south and east sides of the proposed temporary downstream
access route, pursuant to the final design and construction plans (see MOA Exhibit 1, Sheet #3).
The portion of the Edwards-Moody-Hoxie Tannery Site that will be directly impacted by the
Project construction activities (see MOA Exhibit 1, Sheet #3) will be subjected to archaeological
data recovery and monitoring and recordation, in accordance with Stipulation III of the MOA. The
data recovery and monitoring areas have been established to the west of the site avoidance line and
associated polygon, pursuant to the final design and construction plans.
The 2016 archaeological investigations also identified archaeologically sensitive areas on the south
side of Roberts Meadow Brook, including an area containing visible cellar hole/stone foundations
likely associated with the eighteenth and nineteenth-century Edwards-Hoxie family dwelling. This
sensitive archaeological resource area is within 10 feet (ft) of the proposed Kennedy Road
construction staging area for the dam removal project. An impact avoidance fence line and
associated polygon has been established on the north and west sides of the construction staging
area, pursuant to the final design and construction plans (see MOA Exhibit 1, Sheet #6). An impact
avoidance polygon has been established for the other sensitive area on the south side of the brook
closer to the dam (see MOA Exhibit 1, Sheet #3).
11
The ASAPP will be implemented to avoid and protect the above- and below ground archaeological
features and sensitive areas on both sides of Roberts Meadow Brook downstream of the Upper
Roberts Meadow Reservoir Dam from inadvertent impacts during the dam removal work. The
following site protection measures shall be implemented prior to contractor construction work for
the removal of the dam and associated components.
1. The site and sensitive area avoidance lines and associated polygons on both sides of
Roberts Meadow Brook will be recorded on the final construction plans available to and for
use by the Contractor. Under the direction of a qualified archaeologist, the construction
areas of avoidance around the Edwards-Moody-Hoxie Tannery Site and other sensitive
areas will be flagged on the ground with wooden surveyor stakes having blaze orange
spray-paint tops. The boundaries will be flagged in accordance with the "site avoidance
fence line" and "sensitive no impact area" clearly labeled on the Final Construction Plans to
be released in the spring 2017 (refer to MOA Exhibit 1, Sheets #3 and #6). The field
delineation and flagging of the archaeological avoidance and protection areas will take
place prior to the start of construction.
2. Under the direction of the qualified archaeologist familiar with the project area, the
Contractor will erect high visibility construction fencing and "No Trespassing" signs
around the avoidance areas which will remain in place for the duration of the Project
construction activities. No construction work, staging, or vehicular access will take place
within the archaeological avoidance and protection areas.
3. The City, with the assistance of the project engineer and the qualified archaeologist, will
inspect and monitor the installed construction fencing during the Work so that it properly
delineates the flagged identified archaeological avoidance areas.
4. Suitable language will be included in contract and construction bid documents to minimize
chances for inadvertent impacts to the ground surface and visible stone features inside the
archaeological avoidance and protection areas.
a. Construction personnel and contractors will be informed verbally and in writing that
the fenced areas are "Sensitive No Impact Areas" where the ground surfaces and
visible stone features are to be protected as indicated above.
b. Construction personnel and contractors will neither perform nor permit any tree
cutting or tree stumping, construction, excavation, grading, filling, dumping, or the
storage or staging of equipment, vehicles, or supplies within the fenced "Sensitive •
No Impact Areas."
c. Any work within the fenced "Sensitive No Impact Areas" will require submission to
and written approval from the City after the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps)
and the Massachusetts Historical Commission (WIC) have the opportunity to
review and comment on the proposed activities within the fenced area.
12
5. No unauthorized artifact collecting or archaeological investigation will be permitted within
the fenced "Sensitive No Impact Areas" or in other areas of the property, other than that for
which the Massachusetts State Archaeologist has issued an archaeological field
investigation pelinit (950 CMR 70).
6. If the contractor or other project personnel observe unexpected cultural resources during
dam removal work, the City should be notified immediately, and work should be halted in
this area. The City will contact the qualified archaeological consultant for review and
evaluation. The qualified archaeological consultant will coordinate with the Corps and the
MHC under Stipulation VIII of the MOA, as necessary.
7. The high visibility construction fencing and signage around the "Sensitive No Impact
Areas" must be removed upon completion of the project.

1.0 Project Background and Overview
The City of Northampton (City) Department of Public Works (DPW) is proposing to remove the Upper Roberts
Meadow Reservoir (URMR) Dam to comply with a 2007 Certificate of Non-Compliance and Dam Safety Order
issued by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation - Office of Dam Safety (ODS). The project
is a Priority Project for river restoration by the MA Division of Ecological Restoration (DER), who is partnering
with the City on the project. In April 2015, the City submitted a Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) pursuant to
the regulatory revisions to the Massachusetts General Permit (MAGP) (eff. February 4, 2015) by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) under General Permit 22: Habitat Restoration, Establishment, and Enhancement
Activities (GP 22). As stated in the Section 404 PCN application materials (see permit application narrative), the
purpose of the proposed project is to remove the Upper Roberts Meadow Reservoir (URMR) Dam and thereby (1)
protect downstream water supply infrastructure, (2) eliminate future City costs and liabilities associated with an
obsolete structure, and (3) promote ecological restoration of the brook.
During a post-submittal conference call held on May 22, 2015 with members of the project team and the US Army
Corps of Engineers, a request by the USACE was made for the project team to develop a Stream Restoration and
Monitoring Plan (Plan) for the project. The Plan outlined herein includes the project and restoration goals, the
success criteria to determine if the goals have been met; and the adaptive management elements and monitoring
activities associated with the work.
2.0 Project Approach
The proposed methods and follow-up monitoring/documentation include the following:
 Staged removal of dam sections to control stream sediment mobilization. The primary concern about
the in-stream sediment management proposed (and permitted via MA DEP 401 Water Quality Certification)
approach is aggradation downstream and potential flooding of the roadway adjacent to the brook. The
staged dam removal is intended to provide a measure of control concerning the rate of sediment
mobilization so that downstream monitoring for infrastructure impacts can be performed by the City. The
ecological impacts of sediment release to the downstream reach are considered (by state restoration
ecologists and fisheries biologists) to be minimal and short-term in nature. Moreover, the short-term
ecological impacts will transition to long-term and permanent benefits via the infusion of habitat forming
sediment and organic matter. These benefits are well established in the scientific literature and within U.S
Army Corp Nationwide Permit 53 (Low Head Dam Removal).
 A targeted invasive species removal program will be included as part of the project. Invasive plant
species currently exist upstream, within, and downstream of the dam impoundment. In order to reasonably
limit the spread of new invasive plants, the project involves limited plant treatment and/or removal prior to
the dam removal. The work will focus on several targeted areas, including an island of potentially mobile
sediment within the impoundment, and a stand of existing plants downstream at the inlet to the Middle
Reservoir. Refer to the project’s Invasive Species removal plan included in Attachment A. Invasive plants
are also widespread in the surrounding City-owned forest. The City is currently in the planning stages of a
programmatic invasive species control plan for City-owned watershed land. The project site is within City
watershed land and will be incorporated into the invasive species control program as appropriate.
 Adaptive management of downstream sedimentation areas to remove blockages that increase the risk
of roadway flooding. These adaptive management steps are intended to address the potential risk to
1
NAE-2007-1851. GZA File No. 01.0019547.20
May 29, 2015
downstream infrastructure, described above. These actions are not related to ecological impacts, as the
accumulation of large wood, organic matter, and sediment would otherwise be considered beneficial.
 Conformance with a construction time-of-year restriction to limit short term impacts to native fish
populations. The project team has been coordinating with state fisheries biologists for years concerning an
appropriate window of construction and sediment release. Accordingly, work will commence after April
1, 2017.
 Restoration of temporary access areas and roads and removal of temporary erosion and
sedimentation controls. The project involves the construction of temporary access routes. Pursuant to the
Massachusetts General Permit, the project will remove these temporary fills and structures and restore the
ground surface to natural forest litter and cover (as exists now).
 Pre- and Post- photographic documentation from defined locations within the URMR basin and
downgradient stream to compare pre-dam removal and post-dam removal conditions. The data collection
will help qualitatively assess the changes to stream habitat post dam removal.
The phased dam removal will gradually dewater the impoundment and initiate sediment release and gradual stream
reformation within the URMR impoundment area. The slow drawdown of the impoundment will also allow
sediment to dewater and stabilize. Of the approximately 27,000 cubic yards of sediment within the URMR
impoundment, approximately 10,000 cubic yards of sediment is expected to be released during the staged dam
breaching. Some of the sediments will be retained within the brook with the remainder mobilized to Middle Roberts
Reservoir. This approach to sediment management was developed in concert MA DEP staff, lengthy consideration
of other options, and selection of this approach as most sensible, least damaging to surrounds lands, and most cost
effective. It is currently permitted via a 401 Water Quality Certification from MA DEP (WE 246-0689).
As the dam vertical sections are incrementally removed, the reservoir sediments will be gradually exposed and de-
watered in-place. During the reservoir dewatering, the sediments within the basin will be allowed to mobilize by
the downward “cutting” of the stream as it begins to re-establish within the reservoir basin bottom. Roberts Meadow
Brook will have the ability to respond naturally to the base flow and storm events, adopting its own equilibrium for
sediment retention and mobilization, eventually achieving a generally stable stream form. The residual URMR basin
sediments will become stabilized as vegetated soils within the former URMR basin. The flows will be elevated
during dam removal assisting with sediment mobilization, with additional temporary and permanent sediment
repositioning occurring during larger rainfall events during and several years after the dam removal. Sediment
mobilization is anticipated to be substantially complete within 1-3 years, consistent with other dam removal projects
completed in Massachusetts, and consistent with the scientific literature. Wetland and upland seed mixes of native
forbs and shrubs may be used at the recommendation of the project engineer and/or the City in coordination with
DER should impoundment sediment and soils not revegetate adequately. Refer to the referenced 404 application
for additional information about the dam and the restoration project.
3.0 Restoration Goals and Success Criteria
3.1 Ecological Restoration Goals
The ecological restoration goals for the dam removal and stream restoration are as follows:
(1) Restore longitudinal connectivity to allow migration of aquatic organisms between the Middle Reservoir
and the upper reaches of Roberts Meadow Brook;
2
NAE-2007-1851. GZA File No. 01.0019547.20
May 29, 2015
(2) Restore natural stream processes, including the free movement of water, sediment, and organic matter; and,
(3) Restore stream habitat (now submerged) and stabilize residual exposed sediments within the former URMR
impoundment area.
3.2 Success Criteria
Project success will be achieved by removing the full vertical extent of the Poor condition, High hazard dam, and
limiting short-term construction period impacts. The related ecological restoration benefit of stream connectivity
will be realized immediately upon dam removal, and can be easily confirmed via field observation and survey. In
the months and years following dam removal, other restoration benefits will also be realized, including
transformation of the now submerged channel within the impoundment back to a free-flowing reach. Moreover,
following erosion and natural redistribution of mobile impounded sediment, a natural sediment and organic matter
transport regime will be re-established in the sediment starved downstream brook. The assessment of the Success
Criteria relative to the ecological restoration goals will include active monitoring by the City of Northampton, as
described in Table 1.

4.0 Project Monitoring
The restoration success of Roberts Meadow Brook will be assessed by monitoring during and post dam removal
construction. The monitoring methods to be used will be as follows:
4.1 Construction Phase Monitoring
The construction phase monitoring will focus on safe implementation of the staged dam removal,
confirmation of removal of the full-vertical extent of the dam, and downstream monitoring of bed
aggradation to address potential roadway flooding risks. Adaptive sediment management
techniques will be implemented downstream as needed to address risks of flooding to adjacent
roadways downstream of the dam. Weekly reports will be generated during the active construction
and will be kept on file with the City.
4.2 Post-Construction Monitoring:
4.2.1 Photo-documentation will be performed before, during and for a period of 5-years
after the dam has been removed. For Roberts Meadow Brook and the residual sediment
areas within the former URMR Basin area, a minimum of five (5) general basin and
instream photo-documentation transverse cross-sections will be established to monitor the
conditions as they stabilize and mature over time. Along Roberts Meadow Brook below
the former dam, at least five (5) photo-documentation transverse cross-sections will be
established along the stream to document the change in conditions over time. The post
construction photo-documentation will occur at years 1, 3, and 5 after the dam has been
fully removed.
4.2.2 GPS-based, longitudinal surveys will be performed through the former
impoundment, through the dam removal location, and downstream to the Middle
Reservoir at years 1 and 5 post-construction. This data will be compared to the existing
conditions longitudinal survey. Lastly, Massachusetts Fish and Game will conduct fish
studies of the restored stream at Year 1, Year 5 and Year 10 post dam removal.
4.2.3 Water quality monitoring (temperature and dissolved oxygen) will be measured within
and downstream of the former impoundment pre- and post- dam removal. Refer to the
detailed description in Attachment B.
5.0 Contingency Plans
The dam removal will require the City to develop and implement a series of contingency responses on an as needed
basis. The contingencies include the following:
5.1 Re-Vegetation Contingency
The City will maintain a contingency provision for “as-needed” re-vegetation of highly
eroded areas that may develop within the newly established stream channel within the former
4
NAE-2007-1851. GZA File No. 01.0019547.20
May 29, 2015
impoundment. The project objective is to utilize natural processes to re-establish the stream
channel within the former impoundment. Consequently, sediment will be eroded during the dam
breach process. The intent is for the stream channel to erode its way into the sediment to establish
itself. Once established, the goal is that the sediments beyond the banks will be “stabilized” via the
growth of wetland vegetation. The intent of this contingency provision is to provide a means to
reseed areas that continue to erode post construction due to a lack of established vegetation. It is
anticipated that the re-vegetation contingency will utilize either City forces or a subcontractor to
mobilize to the former impoundment and re-seed eroded areas that lack established vegetation with
appropriate wetland vegetation seed. The identification of these areas will be made during the Post-
construction visual monitoring and photo-documentation to be conducted by the City after the
completion of the dam breaching. The contingency will be used for hand seeding only, no additional
earthwork operations will be performed for this item. The re-vegetation contingency will be
maintained for a period of five (5) years after the completion of the dam breaching.
5.2 Adaptive Sediment Management Contingency – Roadway Flooding Mitigation
The City will implement an adaptive sediment management program geared towards
mitigating flooding to adjacent roadways downstream of the dam. The contingency will
include requiring the contractor and/or the City to have equipment and man power available should
a snag or block develop within the stream channel that could potentially cause a temporary dam
within the stream channel and threaten to flood adjacent roadways. The contractor will be
responsible for this contingency during construction. The City or a subcontractor to the City will
be responsible to implement this contingency on an as needed basis post dam removal.
6.0 Schedule
The dam removal project is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2018 and be completed by the fall of 2018.
Construction phase monitoring will be performed during the work. Post dam removal monitoring will be performed
one year after the dam has been removed at or near the end of the growing season, as well as within years 3 and 5
post-dam removal. If the Success Criteria have been met, the monitoring under this Restoration Plan will cease.
Otherwise, additional bi-annual monitoring events will occur. We anticipate that the project will fully meet the
success criteria within three years of project completion.
7.0 Reporting
Monitoring reports for data collection in years 1, 3, and 5 post dam removal, will be assembled and submitted to
the USACE within 60 days of completion. Monitoring reports will address the success criteria and provide narrative
descriptions, figures, and labeled photographs, as appropriate.

BACKGROUND
The Upper Roberts Meadow Dam in Northampton, MA is the most upstream of three dams on Roberts
Meadow Brook. At a formidable 9 meters tall and with no form of fish passage, it is a complete barrier to migrating
aquatic species. The aging structure is listed as “high hazard” and in “poor condition” (Figure 1, 2) and could
eliminate 200 homes within the downstream community of Leeds, MA in the event of a failure. The dam is part of
the City of Northampton’s former emergency public water supply and sits in a relatively undeveloped and protected
tract of forest. Upstream of the impoundment, Roberts Meadow Brook is a cold-water, high gradient stream (Figure
3) that runs through steep gorges, over large riffles, and supports a strong cold-water fishery that includes native
brook trout. Downstream of the dam, the brook slowly transitions from a high gradient stream to a channelized, low
gradient one as it heads to the Middle Reservoir on the brook (Figure 4).
METHODS
Continuous data loggers will be used to assess the impacts of Upper Roberts Meadow Dam and associated
impoundment on temperature and dissolved oxygen profiles within Roberts Meadow Brook. The study area
stretches from downstream of the tributary inflow about 660 meters upstream of the dam to the Middle Reservoir
on Roberts Meadow Brook about 1800 meters downstream of the dam (Figure 5). Pools and deep runs will be
prioritized as installation locations to ensure all loggers remain submerged throughout the deployment period.
One upstream, one impoundment, and five loggers downstream of the dam will be used to assess the impact
of the Upper Roberts Meadow Dam on the river’s temperature regime (Tables 1, 3). Onset© HOBO Pro V2
Temperature Data Loggers recording every 15 minutes will collect year-round, continuous temperature throughout
the entirety of the project. Each logger will be visited bi-annually (See “Project Timeline” below) to check the
installation location and to download data off of the logger. The impoundment logger will float beneath a buoy
attached via cabling to a cinder block on the impoundment bottom. Depending on stream substrate, temperature
loggers will be attached to a piece of rebar in the streambed or anchored on the streambed with rocks. All loggers
will be cabled to a permanent structure on the stream bank. More detailed information can be found in the
Continuous Temperature Monitoring SOP.
To assess the impact of the dam on dissolved oxygen, Onset© U26 Dissolved Oxygen Data Loggers will
be deployed upstream of the impoundment, within the impoundment, and downstream of the dam (Tables 2, 4).
The loggers will be deployed for discrete weeklong periods between approximately 2015 and 2018 to capture pre-
and post-dam removal conditions (specific periods to be adjusted based upon dam removal timing). While in the
field, loggers will record dissolved oxygen and temperature readings every 15 minutes. The impoundment logger
will float beneath a buoy cabled to a cinder block on impoundment bottom, and upstream and downstream dissolved
oxygen loggers will be attached to a piece of rebar via zip ties and hose clamps. More information can be found in
the Continuous Dissolved Oxygen Monitoring SOP.

the City of Northampton to gain approval for the proposed monitoring associated with this project.
SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT
Upper Roberts Meadow Dam is located on Roberts Meadow Brook in Northampton. The dam is
approximately 9 meters tall and is built in a steep walled gorge. The stream extends downstream of the dam for about
1800 meters before reaching the Middle Reservoir on the brook. This downstream reach can be divided into three
separate reaches – the high gradient “upper reach” from the dam to Kennedy Road Bridge, the middle gradient
“middle reach” from Kennedy Road Bridge to the intersection of Chesterfield and Reservoir Roads, and the low
gradient “lower reach” from that intersection to the Middle Reservoir. The middle reach is moderately channelized,
and the lower reach has been heavily channelized into a straight segment running between Reservoir Road and a
large berm until it empties into the reservoir. The upstream reach of this study is very high gradient with large riffles
and additional steep walled gorges. The entire study area is located within protected, forested land and was formerly
used by the City of Northampton for emergency public water supply. Kennedy St. crosses the river about 300 meters
downstream of the dam.
ADDITIONAL RESEARCH BEING CONDUCTED ON SITE
Chris Cianfrani of Hampshire College is studying geomorphic changes to Roberts Meadow Brook following
removal of Upper Roberts Meadow Dam.
Allison Roy of UMass Amherst is studying the changes to benthic macroinvertebrate and fish communities
of Roberts Meadow Brook following removal of Upper Roberts Meadow Dam.
Alex Hackman of MA Division of Ecological Restoration is establishing photographic monitoring stations
(hopefully with local neighborhood volunteers).
Rich Hartley of MassWildlife is studying fish community structure and distribution before and after the dam
removal.

FIGURES
Figure 1. Under moderate flows (seen here) the number of seeps through the dam that has contributed
to its listing as a “poor condition”, “high hazard” structure can be easily seen. Photo taken downstream
of the dam, center channel, facing upstream.

Figure 2. Under very low flows, it is easier to see the “poor condition” of the dam, especially on the river right
abutment with the large number of protruding and slipping granite blocks. Photo taken downstream of the dam,
center channel, facing upstream.

Figure 3. Upstream of the dam, the brook is a high gradient (and coldwater, though that cannot be seen here) stream
that runs over large riffles and through steep-walled gorges. Photo taken 5 meters downstream of URM-T-US, center
channel, facing upstream.
Figure 4. Downstream of the dam, the brook slowly transitions into a low gradient stream that has been completely
straightened and channelized by boulders, dikes, and large riprap. Photo taken from URM-T-DS4, center channel,
facing downstream.
