31. The NACC agrees with the applicant's delineation of the wetland resource areas on the
site as shown on the plans dated referenced herein.
32. 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. 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 Section 3.4 &Appendix F of the local
Regulations).
33. There shall be no increase in the post development discharges from the storm drainage

areas subject to the Commissions 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.
36. Issuance of these Conditions does not in any way imply or certify that the site or

any time. All flags used for the above purposes shall be of a color different from other
flagging used on the site.
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 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

project for the NACC's review and approval. This condition is issued under the
I
authority of the local ByLaw.
47. The applicant shall designate a Wetland Scientist as an"Erosion Control Monitor"to
oversee any emergency placement of controls and regular inspection or replacement of
sedimentation control devices. The name and phone number of the erosion control
monitor must be provided to the NACC in writing by the hired professional in the
event that this person has to be contacted, due town emergency at the site, during any
24-hour period, including weekends. 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

50. Once these above mentioned pre-construction requirements are complete,the
applicant shall contact the Conservation Office prior to site preparation or
construction and shall arrange an on-site conference with an NACC representative,
the contractor,the engineer,wetland scientist and the applicant to ensure that all of
the Conditions of this Order are understood. This Order 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
permitted work are fully aware of the permit's terms and conditions. Thereafter, the
contractor will be held jointly liable for any violation of this Order of Conditions
resulting from failure to comply with its conditions. The applicant or contractor shall
notify the NACC in writing of the identity of the on-site construction supervisor hired
to coordinate construction and to ensure compliance with this Order. A reasonable
period of time shall be provided as notice of the pre-construction meeting (e.g. 72
hours).
DURING CONSTRUCTION
51. IMPORTANT: Immediately upon completion of the dwelling foundation, and prior to
further construction activities associated with the site, the applicant shall complete a
plan prepared by a Registered Professional Land Surveyor of the Commonwealth
(R.P.L.S.)which accurately depicts the foundation location and it's proximity to
wetland resource areas as approved under this Order of Conditions. Said plan shall be
submitted to the Conservation Administrator for approval.
52. Upon beginning work, the applicant shall submit written progress reports every
month detailing what work has been done in or near resource areas, and what work is
anticipated to be done over the next period. This will update the construction
sequence.
53. 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 shall be free of all accumulated silt
and debris before Compliance is issued and the owner or his/her agent shall so specify
in the request for Compliance.
54. The sewer lines on the site, where they cross wetland resource areas,shall be tested for
water tightness in accordance with North Andover DPW standards.
55. Approved de-watering activities anticipated shall be supervised and witnessed by the
designated erosion control monitor. 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
CAWinword\00C\612Sa1emSt.doc 7 NACC 9/13/04
s
DEP FILE #242 - 1267
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 Andover
Wetland ByLaw. If emergency de-watering requirements arise, the applicant shall
submit a contingency plan to the Commission for approval, which provides for the
pumped water to be contained in a settling basin,to reduce turbidity prior to discharge
