Report prepared by: dated April 22, 1998, REV 11/5/98
31.The following wetland resource areas are affected by the proposed work:
Buffer Zone to Bordering Vegetated Wetland (BVW) and Riverfront Area.
These resource areas are significant to the interests of the Act and Town
Bylaw as noted above and therein. The applicant has not attempted to
overcome the presumption of significance of these resource areas to the
identified interests.
32.The NACC agrees with the applicant's delineation of the wetland resource
areas on the site as shown on the plans dated referenced herein.
33.The NACC finds that the intensive use of the upland areas and buffer zone
proposed on this site will cause further alteration of the wetland resource
areas. In order to prevent any alteration of wetland resource areas a twenty
five foot (25`) No-Disturbance Zone and a fifty foot(50`) No-Construction
Zone shall be established from the edge of the adjacent wetland resource
area except at the roadway wetland crossing. The Conservation
Administrator and/or other agents of the NACC do not have the authority to
waive these setbacks as established under the local bylaw. No disturbance
of existing grade, soils or vegetation is permitted in the No-Disturbance zone.
34.There shall be no increase in the post development discharges from the
storm drainage system or any other changes in post development conditions
that alter the post development watershed boundaries as currently depicted
in the Notice of Intent and approved by this Order of Conditions, unless
specifically approved in writing by the Commission.
35.This document shall be included in all construction contracts, subcontracts,
and specifications dealing with the work proposed and shall supersede any
conflicting contract requirements. The applicant shall assure that all
contractors, subcontractors, and other personnel performing the permitting
work are fully aware of the permits terms and conditions. Thereafter, the
contractor will be held jointly liable for any violation of this Order resulting
from failure to comply with its conditions.
DEP FILE #242 - 945
36.The owners of the project and their successors in title, in the event they
proceed to alter areas subject to the Commission's jurisdiction under the
order, agree that the Order does not in itself impose upon the Town any
responsibility to maintain the proposed drainage system and that said Town
shall not be liable for any damage in the event of failure. By acceptance of
this Order, the owners agree to indemnify and hold harmless to the Town and
its residents for any damage attributable to alterations undertaken on this
property pursuant to the Order. Issuance of these Conditions does not in any
way imply or certify that the site or downstream areas will not be subject to
flooding, storm damage or any other form of water damage. Maintenance of
the drainage system, if accepted by the Town as part of a public way,
becomes the responsibility of the Town.
37.The NACC finds the applicant's proposal for 1,965 sq. ft. of wetland
replication and 261 s.f. of restoration to be adequate. The replication
areas shall be constructed prior to other construction activity on site and this
sequence shall be reflected in the construction sequence. (Refer to Section
lll(E)(4)(page 18) of the local Regulations for performance standards).
38.Issuance of these Conditions does not in any way imply or certify that the site
or downstream areas will not be subject to flooding, storm damage or any
other form of water damage.
PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION
39.No work shall be undertaken until all administrative appeal periods from this
Order have elapsed or, if such an appeal has been filed, until all proceedings
before the Department or Court have been completed.
40.This Order shall be recorded by the applicant at the Registry of Deeds
immediately after the expiration of all appeal periods. No work shall be
undertaken until the Final Order has been recorded in the Registry of Deeds
or the Land Court for the district in which the land is located, within the chain
of title of the affected property. In the case of recorded land, the Final Order
shall also be noted in the Registry's Grantor Index under the name of the
owner of the land upon which the proposed work is to be done. In the case of
registered land, the Final Order shall also be noted on the Land Court
Certificate of Title of the owner of the land upon which the proposed work is
to be done. The recording information shall be submitted to the North
Andover Conservation Commission on the form at the end of this Order
prior to commencement of the work. Any Order not recorded by the
applicant before work commences may be recorded by the NACC at the
applicant's expense.

decision or resulting from this Order of Conditions must be submitted to the
NACC for approval prior to implementation. If the NACC finds said changes
to be significant, the NACC will call for another public hearing (at the
expense of the applicant). Within 21 days of the close of said public hearing
the NACC will issue an amended or new Order of Conditions. Any errors
found in the plans or information submitted by the applicant shall be
considered as changes. The proposed project may be still under review by
other local or state boards or agencies. This may result in changes to the
project plans or wetland impacts. If any such changes occur a revised plan

be placed between all construction areas and wetlands. The erosion control
barrier will be properly installed and placed as shown on the plans approved
and referenced herein and shall be inspected and approved by the NACC
prior to the start of construction and shall remain intact until all disturbed
areas have been permanently stabilized to prevent erosion. All erosion
prevention and sedimentation protection measures found necessary during
construction shall be implemented at the direction of the NACC. The NACC
reserves the right to impose additional conditions on portions of this project
to mitigate any impacts which could result from site erosion, or any
noticeable degradation of surface water quality discharging from the site. For
example, installation of erosion control measures may be required in areas
not shown on the plan(s) referenced in this Order of Conditions. Should such
installation be required by the NACC, they shall be installed within 48 hours
of the Commission's request.
47.The applicant shall have on hand at the start of any soil disturbance, removal
or stockpiling, a minimum of 75 extra hay bales and sufficient stakes for

respects satisfactory to Town Counsel, Town Treasurer, and the NACC, and
shall be posted with the North Andover Town Treasurer through the NACC
before commencement of work. Said deposit of money shall be conditioned
on the completion of all conditions hereof, shall be signed by a party or
parties satisfactory to the NACC, and Town Counsel, and shall be released
after completion of the project, provided that provisions, satisfactory to the
NACC, have been made for performance of any conditions which are of
continuing nature. The applicant may propose a monetary release schedule
keyed to completion of specific portions of the project for the NACC's review
and approval. This condition is issued under the authority of the local
Bylaw.
49.Prior to construction and following the placement of erosion control devices,
the applicant(s) shall construct a fieldstone wall at least 2' in height on
individual lots with homes along the entire 25 No Disturbance Zone. A detail

the NACC in the event that this person has to be contacted, due to an
emergency at the site, during any 24-hour period, including weekends.
Credentials of said Erosion Control Monitor(prior to designation) shall
be submitted for review and subsequent approval by the NACC or an
Agent thereof. This person shall be given the authority to stop
construction for erosion control purposes. The erosion control monitor
will be required to inspect all such devices and oversee cleaning and the
proper disposal of waste products. Cleaning shall include removal of any
entrapped silt. At least once during each week in which construction
activities occurs on-site and for as long thereafter as ground remains
unstabilized, the applicant shall submit a written report from the "Erosion
Control Monitor' to the NACC certifying that, to the best of his/her knowledge
and belief based on a careful site inspection, all work is being performed in
compliance with this Order of Conditions and that approved setbacks are
being adhered to. The erosion control monitor must visually inspect all
sedimentation/erosion control measures and assume responsibility for
their maintenance on a weekly basis and that they are functioning as
intended. In addition, all wetland resource areas must be visually inspected
for siltation, turbidity, and/or other water quality impacts.
52.Prior to construction, the applicant shall permanently mark the edge of the
"25' No-Disturbance Zone" with signs or markers spaced evenly every
50 feet incorporating the following text: "Protected Wetland Resource
Area". This will designate their sensitivity and assure no further inadvertent
encroachment into the wetland. These permanent markers are subject to
review and approval by the NACC. The applicant shall instruct all agents
to explain these markers to buyers/lessees/landscapers and all persons
taking over the property from the applicant.

be tested for water tightness in accordance with North Andover DPW
standards.
62. Approved de-watering activities anticipated at the roadway entrance
location shall be supervised and witnessed by the designated erosion control
monitor. This designee must be on-site while work specific to the roadway
retaining wall installation is occurring and until this section is complete. De-
watering activities shall be conducted as shown on the approved plans and
shall be monitored daily by the erosion control monitor to ensure that
sediment laden water is appropriately settled prior to discharge toward the
wetland resource areas. No discharge of water is allowed directly into an
area subject to jurisdiction of the Wetlands Protection Act and/or the North
