City of Northampton - Board of Health
D~TE NOTICED IN MONITOR December 21, 2005
As Secretary of Environmental Affairs, I hereby determine
that the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) submitted on
the above project adequately and properly complies with the
Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (G_ L. c. 30, ss. 61-62H)
and witK its implementing regulations (301 CMR 11.00).
Project Description
As described in the FEIR, the project cbns~sts,of the Phase
5/SB Expansion of the Northampton Regional SanitaryLandfill. The
expansion will create approximately 29.2 acres of lined landfill
with 19.7 acres requiring site assignment. Phase 5 is 15.6 acres
and Phase 5B is about 4.1 acres on the expansion parcel. The
remaining 9.5 acres are a vertical expansion on the existing
landfill site. The project includes the construction of a new
northern access road for trucks off Glendale Road, a new scale
and scale house, and stormwater control facilities. It also
includes the construction of a phased landfill capping and a
landfill gas management system.
The landfill would accept approximately 325 tons per day
(tpd). It would contain about 2.520 million cubic yards of
available gross volume, to be filled at a rate of about 50,000
tons per year (tpy) of solid waste. The landfill expansion
represents a total area of about 29.2 acr~s, up to a maximum
elevation of 365 feet, including the overlap onto the existing
capped landfill.

EOEJ # 12 351 FEIR Certificate January 27, 2006 I
The landfill expansion would provide capacity for about 21.3 I
years. It would be developed int8 approximately six cells, each
with about a five-year life. The first cell would be constructed ,..
in 2007 and the last cell about 2024. The existing landfill has
2n estimated operational life until about the end of 2007. -
The project is subject to a mandatory EIR. It will require a
Site Assignment by the Northampton Board of Health. The expansion
will require a Site Suitability Determin2tion, Authorizations to
Construct (phase approvals), Authorizations to Operate (phase
approvals), and waivers from the Zone II site suitability
criteria (310 CMR 16.40 (3) (a) (2)) from DE.P. In addition, a Sewer
Extension/Connection Permit may be required from DEP. The project
must comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General
•
Permit for stormwater discharges. An Order of Conditions will be
required from the Northampton Conservation Commission for work
within a buffer zone and a local resource area. The Natural
Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) have identified
tpe project site as potential Priority Habitat. Because the
p-roponent is not seeking financial assistance from the
Commonw~alth for the project, MEPA jurisdiction is limited to
those aspects of the project whose environmental impacts are
related to the subject matter of required state permits
(wetlands, stormwater, construction, operation, traffic, and
was~ewater) that may have significant environmental impacts.
Th~ existing landfill accepts 275 tpd. Construction and
-
demolit{on (C&D) material is allowed as long as the total for the
5~te is le~s than 50,000 tpy. However, the DEP permit limits the
amount of C&D material that can be delivered to the site for
processing at 20 tpd and 4,000 tpy. These C&P tonnage limits are
independent of the landfill operating· tonnage l:i;mi t:s. The
proponent is proposing to increase its daily tonnage from 275 to
325 tpd. It accepts solid waste from 39 communities. Most of the
member communities participate in DEP's Approved Recycling
Program. Most of the member communities have also implemented a
npay as you throw" pricing system. Leachate collected at the site
is discharged to public sewers for treatment at the Northampton
Wastewater Treatment Facility.
On February 25, 2005, a Notice of Project Change (NPC)
Certificate was issued for the lined Phase 5 landfill expansion.
The Certificate required the preparation of an EIR. The Phase 5
Expansion involved about 29.8 acres instead of the original 16.4
-
acres. Since the NPC, the expansion has been reduced in area from
30.9 to 29.2 acres to avoid impacts to identified habitat areas
for the Eastern Box Turtle.

11. EOEA #12351 FEIR Certificate January 27, 2006
The proponent has estimated that the proposed landfill
expansion would generate approximately between 180 and 200
vehicle trips per day. Vehicles enter and exit the landfill via
the entrance driveway on Glendale Road. The proponent has
indicated that the Monday through Saturday hours of operation are
between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM (until 8:00 PM for specific events).
The facility will be closed on Sundays. It will continue to serve
its 39 member communities.
Review of the FEIR:
The FEIR provided a detailed project description with a
summary/history of the project. It included existing and proposed
site plans in Appendix B. The FEIR included a site plan that
showed the proposed lined and unlined portions of the landfill,
the composting area, the physical components of the drainage and
leachate collection system, and the wetland resource areas. It
described the proponent's monitoring program for its proposed and
existing landfill liners.
The FEIR identified hazardous waste screening and collection
at
./·
the landfill. It also identified the extent of leaf and yard
composting operations.
, The FEIR outlined the proponent's maintenance program for
the drainage system. This maintenance program outlined the actual
maintenance operations, responsible parties, and back-up systems.
In Appendix E, the proponent included the Stormwater Pollution
Prevent~Dn Plan (SWPPP) for its NPDES General Permit for the
existing landfill.
The FEIR described how litter impacts on surrounding streets
are responded to by the proponent. A monitoring and inspection
program for litter was discussed in the FEIR:
The FEIR updated its habitat assessment, and the proponent
addressed the Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program
(NHESP) concerns as stated in their comment letter (MassWildlife)
on the DEIR. It summarized the proponent's efforts to work with
NHESP.
Mitigation:
The FEIR included a separate chapter on mitigation measures.
It included Section 61 Findings for both DEP and NHESP. In the
FEIR, the proponent has committed to implement the following
mitigation measues:
• Replicate the isolated wetland in an immediately adjacent
area to meet the requirements of the local wetlands bylaw.
3

12. I
EOEA #12351 FEIR Certificate January 27, 2006 I
Provide erosion control barriers, control of dewatering
discharges, use of seeding and mulch stabilization practices I
•
and short- and long-term stormwater controls to protect
wetland resource areas.
Avoid the defined habitat area of the Eastern Box Turtle.
...
• Complete a wildlife capture and relocation program within
the isolated wetland and the existing detention basin prior
to the disturbance of those areas.
• Purchase land to the north of the project site and
preserving it as conservation land. This land contains
important habitat features.
...
•
•
Use diversion fencing to prevent wildlife from entering the
work site.
Repair groundwater seeps along the north edge of the gravel
pit to preserve the hydrology of the vernal pools.
..
• Better control of the use of illegal all terrain vehicles on
the conservation land north of and adjacent to the project
site.
~ .
• Stabilize eroding slopes near an identified vernal pool.
Construct a double composite liner system with a leak
detection layer to monitor the upper liner for any leakage
'into the groundwater. Leachate that is generated will be
collected in the drainage sand and piping layer and will be
pumped to the Northampton Wastewater Treatment Facility for
treatment.
• Install a system of groundwater monitoring wells to
ro~~inely check for any changes over time.
• Expand the existing active gas collection system at the site
and provide interim gas management techniques such as
passive gas wells equipped with solar ignited flares if
warranted. ...
• In order to control dust emissions, the propon~nt will use
water and other dust suppression measures, pave on-site
roads to the extent practicable, sweep paved access roads,
require trucks accessing the site to be covered, limit
vehicle speeds, stabilize disturbed areas with vegetation~
vegetate or cover long-term soils stockpiles if necessary,
limit engine idling, use low sulfur fuel, maintain engines
on landfill equipment, and install particulate filters on
equipment.
• In order to control noise generated by the project, the
proponent will use properly designed engine enclosures and
intake silencers, provide regular equipment maintenance and
lubrication, maintain exhaust systems and replace as needed,
new equipment will be subject to new product noise emission
standards, avoid early morning use of pyrotechnic gull
deterrent operations, on-site roadways are established as
far from sensitive receptors as practical, employ natural
4
...

13. EOEA #12351 FEIR Certificate January 27, 2006
and/or manmade barriers where possible, limit the use of
back-up alarms by usi~g OSHA-approved alternatives, set up
tipping operations to allow greater access while decreasing
the need to reverse, require all facility users to properly
secure loads against rattling and banging, limit vehicle
speeds to 20 mph or less, and implement a method to
receive, log, and respond to community complaints.
• Provide a stormwater detention basin on the east and one on
the west sides of the site with groundwater recharge.
• Reconstruct the northerly site drive to better accommodate
tractor-trailers and include a stop sign and stop line.
• Initiate a publicity campaign to inform landfill users that
separate driveways are provided for trucks and other
vehicles.
• Upgrade pavement markings and provide directional siguage to
the landfill at the intersection of Glendale Road/West Farms
Road/Route 66.
• Design and install a containerized landfill gas fired engine
driven generating system for the beneficial use of the
landfill gas.
These mitigation measures are estimated to cost about $1•. 73
million. Because the proponent has reduced the Phase 5 landfill
f~otprint by 1.7 acres to preserve the turtle habitat, this lost
landfill volume is about 17,700 cubic yards, which has an
estimated value of about $682,500 at today's tipping fee. The
proponent has also paid $225,000 for the purchase of 20 acres of
propert~to the north of the site for turtle habitat with a
conservation restriction placed on it.

Dear Secretary Ptitchard,
The Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program (NBESP) of the MA Division of Fisheries &
Wildlife would like to offer the following comments regarding impacts to :>tate-listed rare species for the
proposed Phase 5/SB expansion of the Notihampton landfill.
The proposed project is located within Priority Habitat and Estimated Habitat for tvvo state-listed turtle
species. The Spotted Turtle (Clemmys guttata) and Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina) are state-
listed as "Special Concern" and protected pursuant to the implementing regulations ofthe MA
Endangered Species Act (MESA) (321 CMR 10.00).
Based upon the information that was submitted in the FEIR, the NHESP has determined that the proposed
will not result in a "take" of Eastern Box Turtle or Spotted Turtle provided that the proponent complies
with the rare species mitigation outlined in section 7.2 "Mitigation Measur,;-.s" of the FEIR, which provide
construction and post-construction measures for state-listed turtles and the additional items outlined in
this letter. In addition, the NHESP recommends that turtle nesting habitat management (i.e. vegetation
removal/pruning) be conducted, as needed, on a rotational cycle (-5 years) in the secondary and primary
tu1ile nesting habitats as shown in Appendix F (dated December 2005). Vegetation management sho_uld
occur in conjunction with the proposed fall mowing and both should occu< after October 15 of a given
year. TI1e nesting habitat management, mowing, and permanent wildlife fencing maintenance shoutd be
incorporated into the OQerations and Tyfaintenance Tv1anual, or similar doc-ument, for the property and we
request to review a copv of this document.
TI1e NHESP notes the Town's adjacent land acquisition of forested and wetland habitats suitable for the
Eastem Box and Spotted Turtles and we recommend that the town place this land under habitat protect
measures (e.g. Conservation Restriction (CR)) that pe;ma:t1ently protects these habitats for state-listed rare
and general wildlife. The NHESP has CR templates available upon request and we reauest to review a
copy of the CR document.

The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection ("MassDEP"), Western Regional
Office (WERO) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the Final Environmental Impact
Report (FEIR) submitted for the proposed Northampton Regional Sanitary Landfill, Proposed
Phase 5 Expansion (EOEA #12351) in Northampton. Department staff frofn the Bureau of
Waste Prevention Solid Waste Management Program) has participated in this review and
comment letter.
I. Project Description
The City of Northampton proposes to hori;z:ontally expand its existing regional sanitary
landfill onto a 51.5-acre parcel of property adjacent to the north of the existing site. The
City's existing regional landfill operation has an estimated operational life until the end of
2007.
The proposed Phase 5/58 landfill expansion inCludes a total landfilling area of 29.2-
acres, with 19.7-acres on the northern parcel requiring site assignment pursuant to the
Site Assignment Regulations for Solid Waste Facilities. The remaining 9.5-acres are a
vertical expansion on the existing landfill site.
The Phase 5 area is a horizontal expansion based on a 500-foot setback from the
existing homes on Glendale Road and abuts the slope of the existing landfill. For Phase

continue at the facility once landfill operations commence in the expansion footprint, and
if so, where that activity will take place. Provided that the composting operations comply
·with the requirements pursuant to 310 CMR 16.05(4), the activity would be·exempt'from
