order to prevent any alteration of wetland resource areas a twenty five foot(25`)
No-Disturbance Zone and a fifty foot(501 No-Construction Zone shall be
established from the edge of the adjacent wetland resource area. The Conservation

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.
3 NACC 05/22/2003
