SCO'rr ��s�cwu5�� Director November 4, 1996 Mr. Thomas Neve Neve Associates, Inc. 447 Old Boston Road _'U.-S. Route 1 Topsfield, MA 01983 RE: Request For Determination of Applicability - Lot 7 Old Cart Way. Dear Mr. Neve: In response to the above referenced permit application, this Department conducted an inspection of Lot 7 Old Cart Way on October 8, 1996 and November 4, 1996 in order to verify the proposed delineation of on-site wetland resource areas; Steve D'Urso accompanied me on the 41h. I offer the following comments: 1. Wetland flags 101 to 109 are approved at this time; 2. Wetland flag 208 was eliminated, Please connect 207 directly to 209; 3. Wetland flag 204(1) was added in the field approximately 15' up slope of 204 directly towards the existing stone wall; 4. While there is a predominance of sweet pepperbush on-site (Clethra alnifolia) soil borings performed up slope of 206 and 209 strongly confirm the proposed delineation by Mr. D'Urso: EXAMPLE - • A HORIZON: 0 - 8" '1 OYR 3/3 • B HORIZON: 8 - 2.5Y 5/4 W/{5% redox features. To reiterate: a 1. Please reference the on-site Vernal Pool, which has been certified with the Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program (#988), on the plan of record. It is understood that in order to be protected under the Act, the Vernal Pool must be within Land Subject to Flooding; Vernal Pools within Bordering Vegetated,Wetlands (BVW) are not specifically protected as Vernal Pool habitat under the Act, but if future work is proposed that would affect a pool in a BVW, the Conservation Commission would incorporate this information in the decision making process, Regardless the pool receives protection under the North Andover Wetland ByLaw and Regulations.
