General Proiect Description The North Andover School Building Committee proposes to construct a new 300,000 square foot, three-story high school at the existing high school site on Chickering Road. The new school is being designed for an enrollment of 1,500 students,based on enrollment forecasts. The existing high school of 204,000 square feet has a design capacity of 900 students and is currently over capacity with a 2000 enrollment of 1,047 students. The existing high school building is proposed to be demolished. Proposed site improvements include installation of a new driveway system providing 360 degree access around the school, 161 additional parking spaces for a total of 511 spaces, new stormwater management system, playfields and plantings, and other associated utilities and infrastructure. The proposed project is entirely within the area previously developed for the existing high school and infrastructure. Therefore, no previously undeveloped land will be disturbed. Alternatives Analysis The construction of a new high school at the existing high school site has been proposed as shown on the current plans only after an extensive study, which included the consideration of other potential sites. The proposed new high school site has already been developed for the existing high school. Significant site development and infrastructure would be necessary in locating the high school on an undeveloped site or site currently developed for another use. Because of this the existing high school site is advantageous compared to other sites both in terms of cost and environmental impact as significant site development for the proposed project is already in place. Beyond this advantage of the existing site, there are no other known sites of sufficient size either owned by the Town of North Andover or privately. One site that was raised as a possibility, the nearby Osgood Hill site, has been designated by the town as conservation land, and also has a severe topography that would make development impractical. The School Building Committee completed a feasibility study in 1997 evaluating seven planning options that included various renovation/addition options as well as construction of a new high school -3- in various locations on the existing high school site. In order to meet current educational standards and building codes the existing school building would require complete renovation, with little more than the shell remaining. A critical determinant in identifying the optimal scheme was the need to minimize the impact of a 36 month construction project on the health, safety and education of the students. The conclusion of this study was the recommendation to construct a new high school on the existing site. This option was the most cost effective and least disruptive to the educational program during construction. The proposed design for this site has gone through numerous revisions in response to environmental, technical and economic considerations. In response to the proximity of flagged wetlands, the building footprint has been condensed and moved totally out of the local 50' wetland"No-Build Zone" established by the North Andover Conservation Commission and wetlands intrusions have been minimized. Proposed parking has been reduced and fewer playfields are being provided as a result of the constraints imposed by the wetland areas. Based on the needs of the school and recreational sports programs, it is imperative that the high school site accommodate no less than six fields for soccer, field hockey and lacrosse use, and one full size baseball field. A traffic study has determined that 600 spaces would be optimal for the projected school enrollment of 1500 students. Parking restrictions, if necessary, will be used by the school department to limit parking to the proposed 511 parking spaces. Additional visitor parking for special events will be accommodated by parallel parking on one side of the main access drive. The current design layout represents the most environmentally sensitive design which minimizes alteration of existing wetlands and wetland buffer zones. The project size and scope have been reduced to the minimum amount feasible. With respect to its environmental impact, the proposed project has the added benefit of improving the Riverfront Area. The demolition of the existing school and parking will result in the net reduction of impervious area in the existing 200'Riverfront Area by 50,980 square feet. -4- LAND SECTION — all proponents must fill out this section I. Thresholds/Permits A. Does the project meet or exceed any review thresholds related to land (see 301 CMR 11.03(1) X Yes _No; if yes, specify each threshold: Direct alteration of 25 acres or more of land. II. Impacts and Permits A. Describe, in acres, the current and proposed character of the project site, as follows: Existing Change Total Footprint of buildings 3.4 +0.5_ 3.9 Roadways, parking, and other paved areas 5.8 +2.6 8.4 Other altered areas (describe) See 1 below. 24.6_ 0_ 21.5 Undeveloped areas 14.4 0 14.4 1. Athletic fields, landscaped areas, etc. B. Has any part of the project site been in active agricultural use in the last three years? _Yes X No; if yes, how many acres of land in agricultural use (with agricultural soils)will be converted to nonagricultural use? C. Is any part of the project site currently or proposed to be in active forestry use? _Yes X No; if yes, please describe current and proposed forestry activities and indicate whether any part of the site is the subject of a DEM-approved forest management plan: D. Does any part of the project involve conversion of land held for natural resources purposes in accordance with Article 97 of the Amendments to the Constitution of the Commonwealth to any purpose not in accordance with Article 97?_Yes X No; if yes, describe: E. Is any part of the project site currently subject to a conservation restriction, preservation restriction, agricultural preservation restriction or watershed preservation restriction? _Yes X No; if yes, does the project involve the release or modification of such restriction? —Yes No; if yes, describe: F. Does the project require approval of a new urban redevelopment project or a fundamental change in an existing urban redevelopment project under M.G.L.c.121 A? _Yes X No; if yes,describe: G. Does the project require approval of a new urban renewal plan or a major modification of an existing urban renewal plan under M.G.L.c.121 B? Yes _No X ; if yes, describe: H. Describe the project's stormwater impacts and, if applicable, measures that the project will take to comply with the standards found in DEP's Stormwater Management Policy: The existing stormwater management system will be replaced with a new system that will meet the Mass. DEP Stormwater Management Policy. To meet the requirements, the stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) will include an "Innovative Stormwater Treatment Technology". The units proposed are special "Oil & Sediment Separators" which have been approved by the Mass. DEP's STEP Program (Strategic Envirotechnology Partnership). Deep Sump Catch Basins and a Stormwater Detention Facility are also included. The design will provide that there will be no increase in the peak rate of runoff from the site to the wetland resource areas, water quality requirements of 80 percent TSS removal will be met, and groundwater recharge will be similar to existing conditions. Since the existing drainage system has no water quality treatment system except for standard catch basins, the proposed project will result in significant improvement in the quality of stormwater runoff. _�j I. Is the project site currently being regulated under M.G.L.c.21 E or the Massachusetts Contingency Plan? Yes _No X ; if yes, what is the Release Tracking Number (RTN)? J. If the project is site is within the Chicopee or Nashua watershed, is it within the Quabbin, Ware, or Wachusett subwatershed?_Yes _No; if yes, is the project site subject to regulation under the Watershed Protection Act?_Yes _No K. Describe the project's other impacts on land: The proposed project is located entirely within the presently developed portion of the site so that no new undeveloped area will be utilized. The proposed project will result in a more intensive use of the existing-developed site through a more efficient layout and impacts such as stormwater related impacts will be mitigated as described in Item H above. The project will result in an alteration of 4,605 sq. ft. of man-made Bordering Vegetated Wetland which will be mitigated by the construction of 9,900 sq, ft. of new wetland. The project includes the alteration of 2.8 acres of Riverfront Area but in this case, the area to be altered will be improved by changing from the current parking areas and driveways to open athletic fields. There will be a reduction of 50,980 sq. ft. of impervious surfaces within the Riverfront Area. The less intensive use within the Riverfront area will be a net beneficial impact. 111.. Consistency A.

Describe any wetland resource areas currently existing on the project site and indicate them on the site plan: The wetlands were delineated in July of 1999, by Richard F. Kaminiski and Associates, Incorporated, and a Determination of Applicability was filed on August 18, 1999. The Final Determination of Applicability was recorded at the.Essex Registry of Deeds on September 9, 1999, and is referenced as #33474. The wetland resource areas described in the Determination of Applicability are as shown on the existing conditions plan (included in this ENF filing). These areas include Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVW), Bordering Land Subject to Flooding (BLSF), Bank (of Cochichewick Brook), and Riverfront Area. Perennial Stream Cochichewick Brook runs through the southern portion of the site and exits the property at a large box culvert under Chickering Road (Rte. 125). This brook is shown as a perennial stream on the Lawerence U.S.G.S. Quad Sheet and has been formally determined by the North Andover Conservation Commission to be a River subject to the Rivers Protection Act. Bordering Vegetated Wetland There are two general areas of BVW related to this site. One is the wetland bordering on Cochichewick Brook in the southern portion of the site. The vegetation found in this area consists of New England aster (Aster novae-angliae), rough leaf goldenrod (Solidago patula), narrow-leaf cattail -land angustifolia), purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), buckthorn (Rhamnus frangula), and red maple (Acer rubrum). The second BVW is a wetland area running along the major portion of the eastern side of the site. This wetland area drains into Cochichewick Brook. This area contains many of the same types of vegetation listed above, as well as pale touch-me-not (Impatiens pallida), northern arrowwood (Vibunium recognituni), black willow (Salix nigra). Bordering Land Subject to Flooding The limit of BLSF on the site is shown as the 95-foot elevation contour. This elevation is the 100-year flood elevation associated with Cochichwick Brook. Riverfront The riverfront area is the area within 200 feet of the bank of Cochichewick Brook. The boundary of the Riverfront and the top of bank are shown on the existing conditions topographic plan. The total area of Riverfront on the property is approximately 5.2 acres. All of the riverfront area within the proposed limits of alteration for this project is land that is presently developed for the existing school parking areas and driveways. No natural Riverfront area is proposed to be altered. -s- B.
