Notably, no stormwater mitigation measures currently exist within the Project Site; Provides an important buffer to the Aberjona Riverfront Area by leaving the area at the west and south of the Project Site as undeveloped land; Provides improved, landscaped open space distributed throughout the Project Site; Includes a new connection between the site and the existing Tri-Community Greenway; The Project has offered to donate Walker Pond to the City of Woburn (if desired) for open space or other purposes; The Project has offered to donate approximately 18 acres of valuable land along Sunset Road and the Aberjona River to the Town of Winchester (if desired); Economic: Completes the extensive and costly environmental remediation work, including the removal of all existing structures and the remediation of existing environmental conditions associated with the Kraft Plant; Transforms an underutilized site into a new, dynamic mixed-use destination anchored by open space that responds to proposed and surrounding uses and fulfills PDA planning goals; Creates a significant number of new construction-period jobs as well as a variety of permanent job opportunities while spurring economic development through the phased construction of a mix of retail/office/lab/flex/R&D uses; Creates new retail areas anticipated to activate the public realm and encourage increased public use and enjoyment; Anticipates generating approximately $6.5 million annually in new real estate taxes for the City of Woburn upon stabilization of the full-build Project. (This estimate assumes stabilization of the full-build Project in 2024.); Restoration of Sweetwater Brook: Project goes well beyond the requirements of the Wetlands Protection Act regulations - not only avoiding and minimizing impacts to wetland resource areas and providing an improvement to the Riverfront Area, but also providing a full stream restoration to naturalize this highly altered stream. The proposed Project restores approximately 800-feet of Sweetwater Brook to a significantly improved naturalized state; As planned, the restoration will create approximately two (2) acres of new open space in the vicinity of the Brook; Restoration will create ecological value in the landscape; bringing back natural features that were removed by past industrial use and adding features such as meander sinuosity and riffle and pool complexes; Sweetwater Brook restoration work will result in the removal of 1.5 acres of impervious surfaces within the Riverfront Area and increased public access to the Riverfront Area; In the final condition, approximately 23,539 square feet of floodplain immediately adjacent to Sweetwater Brook will be revegetated, thereby further removing impervious surfaces; Proposed bridges fully meet Massachusetts Stream Crossing Standards which provide a significantly improved wildlife and fish crossing over existing crossings; Environmental Clean Up: Completes the extensive and costly environmental remediation work under Massachusetts clean up regulations known as the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP), including the removal of all existing structures and the remediation of existing environmental conditions associated with the Kraft Plant; The remediation work will excavate and remove the underlying gelatin fill source material within the wetland and upland areas where ammonia in groundwater exceeds applicable MCP standards; The Project will achieve an MCP Permanent Solution through the excavation and replacement of fill and gelatin fill soils from the townhouse area to meet MCP S-1 Unrestricted Residential Use Standards; The Project will achieve an MCP Permanent Solution through the removal of degraded gelatin fill materials within the wooded slope/former lagoon area to remove the source of ammonia in groundwater; The Project will achieve an MCP Permanent Solution through the removal of adjoining apron of surficial organic soils with elevated arsenic concentrations within the former lagoon/wetlands; The Project will achieve an MCP Permanent Solution through the removal of existing petroleum saturated soils at the power plant area to remediate the existing petroleum conditions; Transportation: The Proponent will rebuild and reconstruct Hill Street as the build-out of the Project is completed. The new and widened Hill St will not only serve as an improved entry to the site, it will aid in the flow of traffic at the McDonald's and will also include upgrades to traffic signals at three key intersections on Montvale Avenue; Future phases of work will incorporate more significant upgrades to Montvale Avenue and the adjacent I-93 on and off ramps as density on site increases; The Project will rebuild and reconstruct the existing State-owned parking lot on the western side of Hill Street into a new Park and Ride, with new striping, improved lighting, appropriate signage for commuter use, and new stormwater management improvements; The Project will design and construct a new connection between the site and the existing Tri-Community Greenway; If approved by the MBTA, relocate the 'Montvale / Route 93' stop of the MBTA 354 Woburn - Downtown bus to a new location accessible from the Project Site for an upgraded and safer location for riders to get on and off the bus; As the commercial buildings are constructed, introduce a robust Transportation Demand Management ("TDM") plan that aims to discourage single occupancy vehicle travel and encourage and incentivize use of alternative modes for all users: Climate Resiliency: Redevelopment of the Project Site affords the opportunity to enhance the natural resource of Sweetwater Brook, improve stormwater management, recover riverbank that is presently enclosed within culverted sections of Sweetwater Brook, and convert degraded impervious land into new green space; The Project will also remediate and restore approximately 14,615 SF of wetlands in the southwest portion of the Project Site where gelatin constituents were historically landfilled; The Project proposes to raise the elevation of the Project Site to reduce the risk of flooding to buildings on-site. Proposed Finished Floor Elevations ("FFE"), with the exception of the northern garage, will be located above the forecasted 2070 flood elevation of the Aberjona River and Sweetwater Brook. Although the northern garage FFE is below the forecasted flood elevations, it is designed to be floodable, and will be designed to provide flood storage during forecasted peak flood events; The Project will restore the existing wetland and create approximately 5,565 SF of wetland area around the perimeter of the existing wetland where source material is removed from uplands. This will result in one improved, continuous wetland area and a net gain of wetland area on the property. The Project proposes a four-year monitoring effort to remove invasive plant species from the wetland areas to allow newly planted native species to thrive; The wetland replication effort will increase the amount of wetland area on the Project Site as well as the diversity of wetland species present in this area. The Project proposes a four-year monitoring effort to remove invasive plant species from the wetland areas to allow newly planted native species to thrive; The Project Site grading and drainage plan raises key portions of the Project Site for flood protection, while optimizing flood storage capacity in the northern portion of the Project Site, which is located within the 100-year floodplain; The Project will minimize the off-site transport of soils and other excavated materials to reduce carbon footprint, save valuable landfill space, and limit environmental impacts through Massachusetts "Greener Cleaner" Best Management Practices; The Proponent will work closely with the City and explore opportunities during the local planning and review process to advance the design of the Project to be consistent with any identified goals or outcomes that arise from the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness ("MVP") Program planning process; The Project analyzed forecasted rainfall climate conditions using the Project's hydrologic and hydraulic modeling. A comparison was completed of a no-build vs. build condition which modeling results indicate that there were no increases in flood levels from a future 100-year rainfall event as a result of the Project; Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions: The Project aims to achieve a reduction in stationary source CO2 emissions below an ASHRAE 90.1-2013 baseline, currently estimated at 15.7 percent, by reducing overall energy consumption by approximately 20.1 percent over the ASHRAE 90.1-2013 baseline; The Proponent is committed to requiring developers and end users to construct solar-ready roof space for a potential photovoltaic ("PV") installation on building rooftops, as feasible. Given the changing incentive marketplace for solar PV and the length of time for the Master Plan Project to be completed, solar PV systems will continue to be assessed for their feasibility as future building uses and tenants are identified; On the commercial portion of the site, the Project will install preferred parking spaces for hybrid and electric vehicles as well as dual electric vehicle curb-side universal charging stations; Additionally, as the development of the Project proceeds, the Proponent will endeavor to provide up to approximately five percent (5%) of total commercial parking spaces with universal charging stations, and up to an additional approximately five percent (5%) of total commercial parking spaces as EV-Ready spaces; Water Quality/Stormwater Management and Conservation: Currently, no stormwater mitigation measures exist within the Project Site. The Project will improve these existing conditions by constructing a robust stormwater management system that includes measures to provide groundwater recharge, attenuate peak flows and provide water quality treatment that will meet or exceed the Mass DEP and City of Woburn Stormwater Management Standards; The Project has completed this "no-rise" analysis which shows that the project will not result in an increase in flood levels during the base flood (100-year) event; The Project will provide a "no-rise" certificate certified by a registered professional engineer to the communities of Stoneham, Woburn, and Winchester prior to construction; The Project will implement a treatment train of best management practices ("BMPs") to improve water quality, reduce runoff volumes, and reduce peak discharge rates of runoff in comparison to pre-development conditions; The Project includes new, larger stormwater infrastructure (culverts and/or bridges), to handle future increased stormwater flows in Sweetwater Brook, all in favor, 9-0..”
