C. General Conditions Under Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act(cont.)
b) No stormwater runoff may be discharged to the post-construction stormwater BMPs until written
approval is received from the issuing authority. To request written approval, the following must be
submitted: illicit discharge compliance statement required by Stormwater Standard 10 and as-built
plans signed and stamped by a registered professional engineer certifying the site is fully stabilized;
all construction period stormwater BMPs and any illicit discharges to the stormwater management
system have been removed; and all post-construction stormwater BMPs were installed in accordance
with the plans(including all planting plans)approved by the issuing authority, and have been
inspected to ensure they are not damaged and will function properly.
c) Prior to requesting a Certificate of Compliance, the responsible party(defined in General
Condition 18(e))shall submit to the issuing authority an Operation and Maintenance (O &M)
Compliance Statement for the Stormwater BMPs. This Statement shall identify the responsible party
for implementing the Operation and Maintenance Plan and also state that: 1. "Future responsible

has accepted responsibility for maintaining the BMP, and that the proposed responsible party shall be
treated as a permittee for purposes of implementing the requirements of Conditions 18(f) through
18(k)with respect to that BMP. Any failure of the proposed responsible party to implement the
requirements of Conditions 18(f)through 18(k)with respect to that BMP shall be a violation of the
Order of Conditions or Certificate of Compliance. In the case of stormwater BMPs that are serving
more than one lot, the legally binding agreement shall also identify the lots that will be serviced by the
stormwater BMPs. A plan and easement deed that grants the responsible party access to perform the
required operation and maintenance must be submitted along with the legally binding agreement.
f) The responsible party shall operate and maintain all stormwater BMPs in accordance with the
design plans, the Operation and Maintenance Plan section of the approved Stormwater Report, and
the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook.
g) The responsible party shall:
1. Maintain an operation and maintenance log for the last three years including inspections,
repairs, replacement and disposal (for disposal the log shall indicate the type of material and
the disposal location);

31. The following wetland resource areas are affected by the proposed work: Buffer Zone
to Bordering Vegetated Wetland (BVW). 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(5(Y) 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 with the exception of fill and
debris removal as required by this Order of Conditions and referenced on the plan of
record. (See Section 3.4 &Appendix F of the local Regulations).
34. 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.
35. The owners of the project and their successors in title 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.
36. 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

Order of Conditions. Any errors found in the plans or information submitted by the
applicant shall be considered as changes. No work shall begin on a project until

the NACC. Such barriers shall be checked and replaced as necessary and shall be
maintained until all construction is complete. Workers should be informed that no
use of machinery,storage of machinery or materials, stockpiling of soil, or
construction activity is to occur beyond this line at any time.
44. A row of staked hay bales backed by trenched siltation fence shall 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 inspectedd and approved by the NACC or its agent prior to the start of construction

prevent erosion. All erosion prevention and sedimentation protection measures
found necessary during construction shall be implemented at the direction of the
NACC or its agent: 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

required by the NACC, they shall be installed within 48 hours of the Commission's
request.
