C. General Conditions Under Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (cont.)
b) No stormwater runoff may be discharged to the post-construction stormwater BMPs unless and
until a Registered Professional Engineer provides a Certification that:
i. all construction period BMPs have been removed or will be removed by a date certain specified in
the Certification. For any construction period BMPs intended to be converted to post construction
operation for stormwater attenuation, recharge, and/or treatment, the conversion is allowed by the
MassDEP Stormwater Handbook BMP specifications and that the BMP has been properly cleaned or
prepared for post construction operation, including removal of all construction period sediment trapped
in inlet and outlet control structures;
ii. as-built final construction BMP plans are included, signed and stamped by a Registered
Professional Engineer, certifying the site is fully stabilized;
iii. any illicit discharges to the stormwater management system have been removed, as per the
requirements of Stormwater Standard 10;
iv. all post-construction stormwater BMPs are installed in accordance with the plans (including all
planting plans) approved by the issuing authority, and have been inspected to ensure that they are not
damaged and that they are in proper working condition;
v. any vegetation associated with post-construction BMPs is suitably established to withstand erosion.
c) The landowner is responsible for BMP maintenance until the issuing authority is notified that
another party has legally assumed responsibility for BMP maintenance. Prior to requesting a
Certificate of Compliance, or Partial Certificate of Compliance, the responsible party(defined in
General Condition 18(e)) shall execute and submit to the issuing authority an Operation and
Maintenance Compliance Statement("O&M Statement)for the Stormwater BMPs identifying the party
responsible for implementing the stormwater BMP Operation and Maintenance Plan ("O&M Plan") and

easement, assumes responsibility for maintaining each BMP. To overcome this presumption, the
landowner of the property must submit to the issuing authority a legally binding agreement of record,
acceptable to the issuing authority, evidencing that another entity 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. Appeals
The applicant, the owner, any person aggrieved by this Order, any owner of land abutting the land subject
to this Order, or any ten residents of the city or town in which such land is located, are hereby notified of
their right to request the appropriate MassDEP Regional Office to issue a Superseding Order of
Conditions. The request must be made by certified mail or hand delivery to the Department, with the
appropriate filing fee and a completed Request of Departmental Action Fee Transmittal Form, as provided
in 310 CMR 10.03(7)within ten business days from the date of issuance of this Order. A copy of the
request shall at the same time be sent by certified mail or hand delivery to the Conservation Commission
and to the applicant, if he/she is not the appellant.
Any appellants seeking to appeal the Department's Superseding Order associated with this appeal will be
required to demonstrate prior participation in the review of this project. Previous participation in the permit
proceeding means the submission of written information to the Conservation Commission prior to the
close of the public hearing, requesting a Superseding Order, or providing written information to the
