following conditions modify or differ from the plans, specifications or other
proposals submitted with the Notice of Intent,the conditions shall control.

statutes and other regulatory measures, shall be deemed cause to revoke or
modify this Order.
2. This Order does not grant any property rights or any exclusive privileges; it
does not authorize any injury to private property or invasion of property
rights.
3. This Order does not relieve the permittee or any other person of the necessity
of complying with all other applicable federal, state or local statutes,
ordinances, by-laws or regulations.
4. The work authorized hereunder shall be completed within three years from
the date of this order.
5. This Order may be extended by the issuing authority for one or more periods
of up to one year each upon application to the issuing authority at least thirty
days (30) prior to the expiration date of the Order (Refer to Section VIII(p.15)

Plans prepared by: Christiansen&Sergi
entitled"Lot 19 Beaver Brook Road"
DATED REV 2/13/97
9. The following wetland resource areas are affected by the proposed work:
Riverfront Area and the Buffer Zone of a Bordering Vegetated Wetland
(BVW). These resource areas are significant to the interests of the Act and
Town ByLaw as noted above. These resource areas are also significant to the
recreational and wildlife interests of the ByLaw. The applicant has not
attempted to overcome the presumption of significance of these resource
areas to the identified interests.
10. The NACC agrees with the applicant's delineation of the wetland resource
areas on the site as shown on the plans dated REV 2,/1.3/97. Prior to the
issuance of a Certificate of Compliance, the applicant will submit a plan
showing the site's wetland delineation at a scale identical to the Town
wetland map for this location.

or downstream areas will not be subject to flooding or storm damage.
12. The conditions of this decision shall apply to,and be binding upon,the
applicant, owner,its employees and all successors and assigns in interest or
control.
13. 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 fifty
foot (50') No-Disturbance Zone and a ninety six foot (96') No-Construction
Zone shall be established from the edge of the adjacent wetland resource
area. 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. (See Appendix 5 of the local Regulations).
14. All catch basins shall contain oil/gasoline traps, and it shall be a continuing
condition of this order, even after a Certificate of Compliance is issued,that
the oil/gasoline traps in the catch basins be maintained. All catch basins'
