The plan g P P sets include two sets of full size (30x42) sheets and six sets of half-size sheets. The enclosed materials reflect the revisions to the site layout, planting plan, drainage, etc. as discussed with the Commission on January 17, 2001. The revised layout for the driveway entrance eliminated a substantial portion of the wetlands alteration such that there are now only two small areas of wetlands filling. These areas include 320 sq. ft. off the northeast wing of the proposed building, and 200 sq. ft. in the southwesterly portion of the site. We have, therefore, eliminated the proposed wetland replication areas in the vicinity of the tennis courts and provided a small replication area adjacent to the northeast wetland alteration. The replication area previously proposed in the southwest area has not been changed. The S Wetland Replication Narrative has been revised to incorporate the above changes. Also, the Buffer Zone planting presented at the last meeting has now been incorporated into the Planting Plans prepared by Carol R. Johnson, Associates. As discussed at the last meeting, the proposed revisions will not affect the stormwater runoff analyses or design calculations and the report previously submitted (dated 1/8/01) will not need to be revised. Attached is a complete list of the enclosed materials. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call Very truly yours, Schofield Brothers of New England, Inc. Fredric W. King. P.E.

The purpose of the meeting with Mr. Chessia was to make sure we understood all his comments and discuss how we plan to address each item. We also informed him of some proposed minor revisions to the project that have come up since his review. These revisions will be included in the next set of plans that will be submitted along with the revisions to address the points he raised. This letter is being submitted to you to summarize for you the results of our meeting with Mr. Chessia for your information. The following is a brief description of how we propose to address each of Mr. Chessia's comments and the proposed plan revisions. PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE SITE PLAN INCLUDE: 1. The proposed driveway access to Chickering Road is to be eliminated from the plan. 2. The existing overpass walkway from the site across Chickering Road will now remain. 3. Because the existing driveway from Osgood Street will be the only main access, the entrance near Osgood Street will be widened to provide a turning lane and the sidewalk will be moved to the south side of the driveway. Additional wetland delineation was performed in the area of the access drive because of the new work being proposed and that delineation and associated buffer zones will be added to the plan. 4. Some proposed minor grading changes, some of which are in response to John Chessia's comments and general coordination of the plans of the various design consultants. RESPONSES TO THE ITEMS IN JOHN CHESSIA'S REPORT ITEMS 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12 and 13 —These are general information being provided by Mr. Chessia to the Commission and do not require any response from the Applicant. 10/27/2000 10:14 FAX 781 982 : A0 COLER&COLANTONIO 0002/006 O COLANTONIOZ ENGINEERS ANO SCIENTISTS October 27,2000 Brian LeGrasse North Andover Conservation Commission Town lull Annex 27 Charles Street North Andover,MA 01845 RE: Engineering Review North Andover High School Notice of Intent Dear Mr.LeGrasse: In response to your request, Coler &Colantonio,Inc. has reviewed the submittal package for the above referenced site.

The purpose of this letter is to confirm our understanding of the issues discussed at the meeting. Attached are memos from Robert W. Sullivan (RWS) and Thompson Engineering (TE) describing in detail"the discussions of their respective plumbing, fire protection and fire alarm systems. The following is DDP's recap of miscellaneous ,project issues. 1. Project Phasing/Schedule—The new building will be constructed on the middle "plateau", the existing building demolished after the new school is completed, and the ball fields then constructed. The new building will be completed and occupied 01 September 2004,with the.fields completed no later than the spring of 2005. 1.1 Sitework-DDP explained that it is likely that a site preparation contract will start July/August 2001 to prepare the site for the.start of general construction (foundations) in the spring of 2002. This will include constructing a temporary retaining wall along the rear of the existing school to allow the rough grade changes necessary to construct the new building and parking. The retaining wall will be located to allow 14-foot minimum (at field house)passage around the rear of building. 1.2 Soil Storage— DDP explained that the northern most portion of the site will be needed to store topsoil and fill until the existing building is demolished and the playfields constructed the summer/fall of 2004. The area agreed to be reserved for the public safety complex (now the new fire headquarters) along Prescott Street is planned to be part of the area used for soil storage during construction, but would not be otherwise developed.. It is not known at this time whether the construction of the new fire headquarters will overlap that.of the high school project. Kenneth DiNisco Richard N.

An existing hydrant at the rear of the existing building will need to be removed (or relocated) to accommodate the temporary retaining wall. RWS shall confirm final disposition with NAFD. b. The existing propane tank will need to be temporarily relocated. RWS to coordinate location with NAFD. C. The new hydrants and water main should be specified to be activated as soon as practical, so that the new building can be protected while under construction. 2. Basement Cooler/Freezer— DDP to confirm if ammonia will be present in the refrigerator equipment, as it will pose a "special hazard",under the code. 3. Acid Waste—Science classroom waste will-drain to neutralization equipment in the basement. A dyke shall be constructed to contain 110% of the equipment's capacity, and ventilation provided. 4. Elevator— If hydraulic fluid is combustible, a sprinkler head is required in the pit by code. DDP shall confirm. 5. Instruction—Specifications shall include Fire Department training for sprinkler systems, fire alarm systems and"for gas shut off procedures and locations for HVAC equipment, etc. 6.. Site Access— DDP reviewed 3600 on-site roadway access around school, noting over flow parallel parking is proposed along the outside curb of the driveway (leaving the building side curb a no parking/fire lane zone). An ambulance drive,approximately 8 feet wide, is provided along the north ball fields, extending onto Prescott; the end of this drive can be.coordinated with the new fire headquarters as that design is'finalized. _A service drive extends into the west (gymnasium) courtyard; NAFD that a walkway be widened to 12 feet in the east(cafeteria) courtyard for fire vehicle access. NAFD stated that this path must be paved, as reinforced earth emergency drives have not been maintained at other sites in town. 7. Narrative-DDP will submit"Fire Protection Construction Documents"to NAFD for approval, per code. 8. Site Plan Approval— DDP noted that the high school project has been submitted to the Planning Board for an initial hearing on 20 March 2001.

The NAFD stated that the town did have a fire alarm municipal circuit and requested that a master box, strobe beacon light and knox box be installed near annunciator location. The master box will be,provided with a microswitch. The microswitch allows the master box to activate the building fire alarm system when the master box has been manually operated. The NAFD stated that TBC should call Jim Daw to receive NAFD municipal circuit requirements. 7. TEC stated that since the system is an addressable type system that provides exact room designations at the annunciator,therefore smoke detector remote alarm indicators will not be included in the fire alarm system design. S. TEC stated that the audible alarms(horns)and the visual alarms(strobe lights)will be wired on separate circuits, this will allow the audible alarms to be silenced independently of the visual alarms. 9. The NAFD requested that at the annunciator panel, the NAFD shall have complete control of the fire alarm system. (Ex. Reset alarm condition, silencing horns, drill switch, trouble alarm aclmowledge, etc). TEC stated that this requirement is standard design and will be in the specifications. The NAFD stated that the school should not have access to the drill switch feature. 10. TEC stated that protective bousing will be installed on all pull stations and born/strobe light units in the gymnasium- 11- DDP stated that TEC will provide the NAFD a set of drawings showing the final fire alarm system design for the department's review. 12.

Ken: The comment from VHB about water service valves was that we should consider locating the fire service shut-off before the"tee"to the domestic water service, This would mean that both the fire and the domestic water services would be shut off from one valve, and the fire service could not be shut off without shutting off the domestic as well. We would not normally recommend this. We would do as we have shown-a separate valve for each. If it is desired to shut otTboth services with one valve,we would add another valve on the combined line, between the"tee"and the fire hydrant near the roadway. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL.

Prentiss, P.E./A. Cloutier DATE: April 3, 2001 SUBJECT: North Andover High School - Response to Town Consultant's Comments INTRODUCTION This memo is intended to respond to the Vanasse Hangen Brustlin (VHB) memo dated 3/22/01, which is a summary of comments on the BC&A traffic study completed for the North Andover High School relocation/expansion project`. This memo will respond to the issues raised by VHB in a point-by-point fashion and provide supplemental information where necessary. In addition, a traffic study for a school project is not typical when compared to the standard traffic study. Typically commuter peak hours are analyzed,but for any school project the commuter PM peak hour is not an issue since school is not in session during this period. The AM hour peak covers both the school peak and the commuter peak period. BACKGROUND As noted in the BC&A traffic study, a number of comprehensive studies and work was completed on the High School relocation/renovation project dating back to 1997. This included l.) a preliminary impact assessment where the traffic impacts on Osgood Street were reviewed; 2.) a feasibility access study which reviewed alternate access schemes to/from the site and 3.) a traffic signal feasibility study which analyzed the feasibility on installing a new traffic signal on State Route 125 (Chickering Road) and interconnecting with two adjacent State-owned traffic signals. All these studies were footnoted in the recent traffic study. • 2000 Existing Conditions The study area was selected based on the previous studies. The greatest impacts of the school- related traffic are at the intersections closest to the site, not intersections that are one-half a mile away. While it is recognized that other intersections to the south will be affected, the Town's consultant is upgrading Osgood Street from Chickering Road to Main Street and improving area intersections to a 20-year horizon period. Therefore, additional traffic from the school should be Traffic Impact Study-Proposed North Andover High School;Bruce Campbell&Associates,Inc.(BC&A);February 2001 Bruce Campbell&Associates, Inc. Ref: 977memo06.dp.wpd MEMORANDUM Page 2 easily accommodated at the locations noted by the Town's consultant. • Seasonal Adjustments Review of the previous BC&A studies show that traffic counts were conducted in September and May when school was in session. The July data was only collected at the assisted living facility on the west side of Route 125 when an alternate access to the school site was being considered. Pedestrian data was also collected on the Rock Overpass during the off-school periods for comparison purposes. • Trip Generation/Distribution Both Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) and actual or empirical data was presented in all BC&A studies. Actual data is higher than ITE data. For the site trip distribution, a combination of School Geographic data and traffic patterns were used in the study. The earlier BC&A studies presented a detailed analysis of these patterns. • 2005 No Build Conditions Discussions were held with the Town of North Andover Planning Department to verify background developments in the area. No major projects are proposed in the area that would contribute traffic to immediate area intersections. As noted in previous BC&A studies,Massachusetts Highway Department permanent count station 9502 in North Andover was reviewed and data actually shows no growth in a four-year period. Therefore, a 1% annual growth rate is appropriate. • Conclusions/Recommendations At a future date,when the school is built-out,a signal warrant analysis can be provided with actual site-related traffic data rather than projected school traffic data. In many school-related situations, police officer control is often provided for school peak hours only. These measures can be revisited when the school is built-out and traffic monitored at the site drive. • General Comments on the Traffic Impact and Access Study The site drive on Osgood Street is an existing condition and there is only a single driveway serving the site. After reviewing the Town consultant's plans to upgrade Osgood Street,it appears that the site distance will be improved. As noted in earlier BC&A studies for the project, extensive analysis and review was conducted of Bruce Campbell&Associates, Inc. Ref: 977memo06.dp.wpd MEMORANDUM Page 3 pedestrian and bicycle traffic when demolition of the Rock Overpass was being considered along with considering direct access to Route 125 (Chickening Road). Traffic impact studies are not typically stamped by registered professional engineers as they are planning documents. Traffic impact studies submitted to MassHighway are not required to be stamped nor does the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs or Executive Office of Transportation&Construction -the reviewing agencies of Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) submissions. Town by-laws also do not require such an action. Bruce Campbell&Associates, Inc. 04/09/2001 13:49 FAX 01003/006 04/05/01 09:48 M BC&A Q002 C Bruce Campbell Associatest Inc.

(VBB) for the North Andover Planning Board dated 3122/01. The following is our response to those items: ITEM 4) a) — The proposed drainage system indicates that stormwater will discharge to Cochichewick Brook through existing pipes along the battik, The Applicant should verify that the proposed flow will not adversely impact the capacity of the existing pipes. The discharge vetociry at the existing pipe outlet should also be checked to ensure that erosion does not occur. Response: This was also ari important issue reviewed by the North Andover Conservation Commission and their consultant, John Chessia of Coley & Colantonio, Inc. and was closely reviewed. To address their concems during their review, we included the pipe outlets in the hydrologic model to show how these pipes work during the storm events. The flows through the existing 24 inch outfall and the 15 inch outfall are modcled as the outfall from"Pond 7", and the existing 30 inch outfall is shown as the outlet of"Pond 30" in the model_ The outfalls from all these pipes are submerged at Cochichewick Brook under normal conditions which restricts the capacity and the velocity of discharge_ As an example, the outflow for the 10 year storm from the l5 inch pipe is 3.14 CPS. This results in an outflow velocity of 2.6 FPS. The 10 year sto);Tn outflow for the 24 inch pipe outfall is _ computed to be 16.21 CIS which iesults in a velocity of 5-1 MS. These velocities are not excessive and were considered acceptable particularly since the velocity reduces immediately upon leaving the pipe and entering the ponded water at the brook_ The flows to the 30 inch pipe are significantly reduced from existing conditions and there is essentially no change at the existing arch pipe culvert, so there is no impact at these two locations. 04/06%2001 15,:43 FAX 0002 4-06-2001 S=14PM FROM SCHOFIELD BRAS OF NF 1 608 879 1797 P. 3 ENGINEERING• $tlSYING •PLANNIN(• DiNisoo resign P artnershlp 20217 April 5,2001. Page 2 TEEMS 4) b)—A large diameter drain manhole should-be considered for,DMH#36. Iris manhole has more that four drain pipes entering/exiting and therefore, the integrity of the manhole wall is in question. Response® We concur with 'VHB that a larger diameter manhole than the standard 4 foot diameter will be required for this structure. A. 5 foot inside diameter minimum will be required in this case_ This is covered on the standard drain umhole detail on Sheet 1.3.11 that requires "Use 5 ft. diameter when total depth exceeds 10 f et or where ip�e arrangemene will daaaa a the inte 't of thc_MqMhole sections". If deemcd necessary, we can modify the detail on the next plan revision set to call to call out the specific manhole structures where this is required, ITEM 4)c)— VHB recommends that a detail of the Swale located at north side of the soccer field be added to the stormwater drainage details plan. Response: The "swat&" at the north end of the soccer fields is not at Swale, in the classic sense of having an actual channel with a slope, etc_ In this case, it is a "stone interceptor/sub-drain" where the base of the northerly slope and the grade of the soccer field meet. The= is no real depression but this arrangement allows water shedding off the soccer field and slope'to enter the drain system along the entire length of the low point. The grade at the top of the stone interceptor is elevation 104.0. The deemI of the interceptor /sub-drain is contained on the detail sheet and refers to the plan for the grading,pipe sizes, etc. We can add more information to the detail on the next plan revision if additional clarification is necessary. .ITEM 4)d)—1't is not clear where the reinforced concrete,flared end sections are proposed on the site. The Applicant should identify the locarions of proposed flared end sections on the stor nwarer drainage plans. Response; The detail sheet contains a generic plan for pipe ends that also shows the rip- rap apron and includes other types of pipe ends such as HDPE and PVC pipe. The only location where this applies is for the outlet of the 6 inch subdrain located easterly of the lower parldng lot and main driveway. We noted that the labeling for this pipe end was cut off in the sheet layout so that wall be corrected and we can modify the detail to make it clear where it applies, ITEM 4) e) — There appears to he some discrepancies between the pipe capacity calculations and the stormwater drainage pkms regarding the pipe slope-v- VHB recommends that the pipe slopes be reviewed wid revised. (certain pipe sections are then listed). 04/06/2001 15:44 FAX 0 004 d--08-2001 2:14PM FROM SCHOPIELD BROs OF NE 1 608 879 1797 P. 4 eBSCMHELD BROTHE AIMM94kipir, TVEVEYING.PLANNING Dilr I=Dcaign Parmership 24217 April 5.2001 Pa—3 There are some minor discrepancies between the Stormwater Report calculations and the January 31, 2001 plans. The report was based on the January 8, 2401 plant that underwent some modifications to shift the driveway at the wetland crossing to comply with a request by the Conservation Commission and some cot'rections to the pipe layout. This resulted in some minor shifts in the location of a few of the drain pipes. The Commission detennined that these were insignificant and did not require the presentation of modified drain calculations, but we will provide updated capacity calculations for those pipe runs for review. These are relatively simple calculations and we will prepam these Within the next few days.

TOWN PLANNEB MEMO 3.1. Sidewalk Extension Along Prescott Street (x. Location Of Parking l Walkways) 3.1.1. State funding for the high school does not reimburse for off-site improvements. This improvement would be more appropriate for the Town rather than the School Department to address. In addition,the northern end of the site (approximately 1 acre) has been reserved for future use by the town for a Public Safety Complex, which could impact sidewalks in this location. 3.2. Retaining Walls (xii. Location Of WallslSigns) 3.2.1. The structural engineer will certify that the walls have been installed per contract documents as part of the`controlled construction' provisions of the Massachusetts Building Code. 3-3- Large Vehicle Movement(xii. Location Of Roadways/Drives) 3.3.1. Large Vehicle Movement was reviewed at the VHB meeting. See item 2.6.2. above. 3.4. Additional Planting Buffer At Rear Lot Line (xv. Landscaping Plan) 3.4.1. Additional planting cannot be added to that part of the rear lot line area that is in the wetland. However,the architect has met with the neighbors that would directly be affected by additional planting at the rear lot line and there will be additional planting outside the wetland as agreed to by those neighbors at the neighbors meeting on 22 February 2001. 3.5.

PLANNING BOARD NEARING 4.1. Secondary Emergency Site Access 4.1.1. There are two options for a secondary emergency access:the Prescott Street access shown on the original submission and access off Chickering Road opposite the senior housing entry drive. The access off Chickering Road,which is a state highway,would require a MassHighway Access Permit.The traffic consultant met with MassHighway on 05 April 2001 to discuss the requirements for an emergency access only off Chickering Road. MassHighway requires the same standards for a curb opening regardless of its use. See the attached letter dated 05 April 2001 from Bruce Campbell&Associates. Because of these requirements the emergency access off Prescott Street is the preferred option.

Prentiss, P.E./A. Cloutier DATE: April 3,2001 SUBJECT: North Andover High School-- Response to Town Consultant's Continents INTRODUCTION This memo is intended to respolad to the VaDasse Hangen Brustlin (VI48) memo dated 3/22/01, which is a summary of comments on the BC&A traffic study completed forthe North Andover High School relocation/expansion project'. This memo will respond to the issues raised by VHB in a point-by-point fashion and provide supplemental information where necessary. In addition,a traffic study for a school project is not typical when compared to the standard traffic study. Typically commuter peak hours are analyzed,but for any school project the commuter PM peak hour is not an issue since school is riot in session during this period. The AM hour peak covers both the school peak and the commuter peak period. BACKGROUND As noted in the BC&A traffic study,a number of comprehensive studies and work was completed on the High School relocation/renovation project dating back to 1997. This included, 1.) a preliminary impact assessment where the traffic impacts on Osgood Street were reviewed; 2_) a feasibility access study which reviewed alternate access schemes to/from the site and 3_)a traffic signal feasibility study which analyzed the feasibility on installing a new traffic signal on State Route 125 (Chiekering Road)and interconnecting with two adjacent State-owned traffic signals. All these studies were footnoted in the recent traffic study. ® 2000 Existing Conditions _ The study area was selected based on the previous studies. The greatest impacts of the school- related traffic are at the intersections closest to the site, not intersections that are one-half a mile away. While it is recognized that other intersections to the south will*be affected, the Town's consultant is upgrading Osgood Street from Chickering Road to Main Street and improving area_ intersections to a 20-year horizon.period_ Therefore,additional traffic from the school should be Traffic bapoct Study-Proposed North Andover Nigh School.Bruce Campbell&Associates,Inc_(BC&A):Fetmtary 200I Bruce Campbell&Associates,Inc. 041/09/2001 16.57 FAX _ U009 Itef. 977memo06,dp.wpd MEMORANDUM Page 2 easily acconu nodated at the locations noted by the Town's consultant_ Seasonal Adjustments Review of the previous BC&A studies show that traffic counts were conducted in September and May when school was in session. The July data was only collected at the assisted living facility on the west side of Route 125 when an alternate access to the school site was being considered. Pedestrian data was also collected on the Rock Overpass during the off school periods for comparison purposes. • Trip Generation/Distribution Both Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) and actual or empirical data was presented in all BC&A studies. Actual data is higher than ITE data. For the site trip distribution,a combination of School Geographic data and traffic patterns were used in the study. The earlier'BC&A studies presented a detailed analysis of these patterns. • 2005 No Build Conditions Discussions were held with the Town of North Andover Planning Department to verify background developments in the area_ 'No major projects are proposed in the area that would contribute traffic to immediate area intersections. As noted in previous BC&A studies,Massachusetts Highway Department permanent count station #502 in North Andover was reviewed and data actually shows no growth in a four-year period. Therefore,a I%annual growth rate is appropriate. Con clusions/Rccommendations At a future date,when the school is built-out,a signal warrant analysis can be provided with actual site-related traffic data rather than projected school traffic data. In many school-related situations, police officer control is often provided for school peak hours only. These measures can be revisited when the school is built-out and traffic monitored at the site drive. • General Comments on the Traffic Impact and Access Study The site drive on Osgood Street is an existing condition and there is only a single driveway serving the site. After reviewing the Town_consultant's plans to upgrade Osgood Street,it appears that the site distance will be improved_ As noted in earlier BC&A studies for the project,extensive analysis and review was conducted of 13ruce Campbell&Associates,Inc. 04/09/2001 16:58 FAX [a 010 MFMORANDUM Ref_ 977memo06.dp.wpd Page 3 pedestrian and bicycle traffic when demolition of the Rock Overpass was being considered along with considering direct access to Route 125 (Chiekering Road).

We have reviewed the comments relative to the Stormwater lvian4,pment System design plans and calculations contained in the review report prepared by Vanasse, Hangen, Brustlin, Inc. (VUB) for the North Andover]Planning Hoard dated 3122101. The following is our response to those items: ITEM 4) a) -- The proposed drainage system indicates that stormwater will discharge to Cochichewick Brook through existing pipes along the bank. The Applicant should verify that the proposed flow will not adversely impact the capacity of the existing pipes. The discharge velocity at the existing pipe outlet should also he checked to ensure that erosion does not occur. RMonse: This was also ad important issue reviewed by the North Andover Conservation Commission and their consultant, John Chessia of Coles & Colantonio, Inc_ and was closely reviewed: To address their concerns luting their review, we included the pipe outlets in the hydrologic model to show how these pipes work during the storm events. The flows through the existing 24 inch outfall and the 15 inch outfall are modeled as the outfall from "Pond 7', and the existing 30 inch outfall is shown as the outlet of"Pond 3V' in the model. The outfalls from all these pipes are submerged at Cochichewick Brook under normal conditions which restricts the capacity and the velocity of discharge. As an example,the outflow for the 10 year storm from the 15 inch pipe is 3.14 CFS. This results in ar►outflow velocity of 2.6 FPS. The 10 year storm outflow for the 24 inch pipe outfall is _ computed to be 16.21 CFS which results in a velocity of 5.2 FPS. These velocities are not excessive and were considered acceptable particularly since the velocity reduces immediately upon leaving the pipe and entering the ponded water at the brook- The flows to the 30 inch pipe are significantly reduced from existing conditions and there is essentially no change at the existing arch pipe culvert, so there is no impact at these two locations. _ 04/09/2001 16:58 FAX (a 012 d—OF,-2001 3: 14PM FROM SCHOF I ELD EROS OF NE 1 508 879 1797 E' s QBSCHOHUD BRUMERS ENGINE RING•SURVEY NG•PLANNING AiNisco bcsign Partnersbip 20217 April 5,2001 Page 2 ITEMS 4) b)-A large diameter drain manhole should-be considered f or DMH#36. This rnanhale has more that four drain pipes enteran,/exiting and therefore, the integrity of the manhole wall is in question. Response: We concur with VBB that a larger diameter manhole than the standard 4 foot diameter will be requixed for this structurc. A 5 foot inside diameter minimum will be required in this case_ This is covered on the standard drains manhole detail on Sheet 1.3.11 that requires "Use 5 ft. di ter when total depth ex2eeds 10 feet or where pipe arrangement will damage Ihe integdty of t le Manhole s dons"_ if deemed necessary, we can modify the detail on the next plan revision set to call to call out the specific manhole structures where this is required. ITEM 4)c)- VHB recommends that a detail of she ssvale located at north side of the soccer field be added to the stormwater drainage details plan. Response: The "swale" at the north end of the soccer fields is not a swale in the classic sense of having an actual channel with a slope, etc. In this case, it is a "stone interceptor/sub-drain" where the base of the northerly slope and the grade of the soccer field meet. There is no real depression but this arrangement allows water shedding off the soccer field and slope'to enter the drain system along the entire length of the low point. The grade at the top of the stone interceptor is elevation 104.0. The detail of the interceptor sub-drain is contained on the detail sheet and zefers to the plan for the grading,pipe sizes, etc. We can add more information to the detail on the next plan revision if additional clarification is necessary. ITEM 4)d)-1"t!s not clear where the reinforced concrete flared end sections are proposed on the site. The Applicant should identify the locations of proposed flared end sections on the stormwater drainage plans. Response: The detail sheet contains a generic plan for pipe ends that also shows the tip- rap apron and includes other types of pipe ends such as HOPE and PVC pipe. The only location where this applies is for the outlet of the 6 inch subdrain located easterly of the lower parking lot and nn in driveway. We noted that the labeling for this pipet end was cut off in the sheet layout so that will be corrected and we can modify the detail to make it clear where it applies. ITEM 4) e) - There appears to be some discrepancies between the pipe capacity calculations and the' srormwater drainage plans regarding the pipe slopes. VUB recommends that the pipe slopes be reviewed and revised: (certain pipe sections are then listed). 04/09/2001 16:59 FAX 0 013 4-05-2001 3.14PM FROM SCHOFIELO BROS Or NE 1 508 879 1797 p- d SBSW0HELQHWHEHS ENGINEER!_ VEYi • LANNING i DiNisco Design lPuMerAip 20217 April 5.2001 Page,3 There are some minor discrepancies between the Stormwater Report calculations and the January 31, 2001 plans. The report was based on the January 8,2001 plan that underwent some modifications to shift the driveway at the wetland crossing to comply with a request by the Conservation Commission and some corrections to the pipe layout, This resulted ill some minor shifts in the location of a few of tbo drain pipes, The Commission determined that these were insignificant and did not require the presentation of modified drain calculations, but we will provide updated capacity calculations for those pipe runs for review. These are relatively simple calculations and we will prepare these within the next few days. ITEM 4)e)—The invert in from.CB#40 for DMH#36 appears to be missing from the Drain Manhole Rim and Inverts schedule.

Ken: The comment from VHB about water service valves was that we should consider locating the fire service shut•offbefom the"tee"to the domestic water service. TIYis would mean that both the f1m and the domestic water services would be shut off from one valve,and the fire service could not be shut off without shutting offthe domestic as well.We would not normally recommend this.We would do as we have sbown-a separate valve for each.. If it is desired to shut off both services with one valve,we would add another valve on the combined line,between the"tee-and the fire hydrant near the roadway. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL.

This morning I met with the Permits Engineer of Mawoghway at the MassHighway District 4 office in Arlington. I submitted the supplemental information on drainage(see attached letter)as requested by MassHfghway and pursued the discussion on a secondary/emergency access onto State Route 125. It was indicated to me that regardless of the type of use of the curb opening, the intersection desigA would Owd to conform to Massfthway stimdards and at a minimum would likely require 30-50 foot curb radii and be a minimum of 24 feet wide. Until further details are available,traffic data,conceptual sketch,etc.,other departments(traffic, environmental,utilities,etc.)would need to comment on the proposed use as to what additional requirements would be necessary-sidewalks,lighting,turn labes on Route 125,etc. If you have any questions on this meeting,please contact us. y yo Douglas C.

RE: North Andover High School Project—Stotmwater. Dear Tim: To follow up oil our discussions at our meeting with you on April 6, 2001, we reviewed the plans and calculations for the proposed drain pipe sections pointed out in the VHB review report (3/22/01) as having some discrepancies. The following are our findings and corrections that are proposed to address these items; CB#11 to D #12 a CB#18 to DMiH#16 In both of theses pipe runs, there is a draftinb error on the plan. The pipe slopes indicated in,the drain calculations are correct and the slopes shown on the plan are will be corrected in the next revision. The pipe slopes for these two'pipe runs should be 0.0131tJ#t, and 0.068 ft./ft.respectively. • -3#36 to DMgi#32 In this case, the pipe slope shown on the plan as 0.050 ft./ft. is correct but the calculations in the Storruwater Report shows the pipe slope as 0.01 from a previous revision. Attached is the corrected calculation page A3-6 of the report. DMH#36 to PS#3 In this case, the pipe slope shown on the plan as 0,010 ftJft. is correct but the calculations in the Stormwater Report shows the pipe slope, as 0.017 from a previous revision. Attached is the corrected calculation page A3-18 of the report. CB#15 to DMH#4I In this case, the pipe slope shown on the plant as 0,040 ft./ft. is correct but the calculations in the Stortnwater Report shows the pipe slope as 0.011 from a previous revision. Attached is the corrected calculation page A.3-22 of the report. 04/10/2001 14:41 FAX 4--°10-2001 11 .4.1AM FROM 5CHOFIELI) BROS OF NE 1 508 879 1797 P. 2 PX wrea�r �BMW�!H!F- Vanasse Hangen Brustlln,Inc.
