areas subject to the Commission's 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.

43. Prior to any work commencing on site, a Registered Professional Land Surveyor
(R.P.L.S) shall locate the Woodbury/rhistle Lane easement boundaries. Upon proper
survey,the applicant shall mark each tree/shrub within said easement,which will be
cut/disturbed as a result of the proposed work. Although all of the trees located within
this easement area are located beyond the resource area and beyond the 25' No-
Disturbance Zone,the existing vegetation is located within the buffer zone and
provides a visual buffer to several P e eral abutters and may provide important habitat
function/value. Therefore,the Conservation Department may require supplemental
shrub plantings as a result of the vegetative disturbance. The Environmental Monitor
shall propose any required supplemental plantings upon and final determination made
by the Conservation Department.
44. Wetland flagging shall be checked prior to start of construction and shall be re-
established where missing. All wetland flagging shall remain visible and enumerated per

i
Compliance is issued so that erosion control measures can be properly placed and
wetland impacts can be monitored. The proposed limit of work shall be shall be clearly
marked with stakes or flags and shall be confirmed by the NACC. Such markers 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. All flags used for the above purposes shall be of a color different from other
flagging used on the site.
45. 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 approved plans 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 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 on the plan(s) referenced in this Order of Conditions. Should
such installation be required by the NACC, they shall be installed within 48 hours of the
Commission's request.
46. The applicant shall have on hand at the start of any soil disturbance, removal or
stockpiling, a minimum of 20 hay bales and sufficient stakes for staking these bales (or an
equivalent amount of silt fence). Said bales shall be used only for the control of
emergency erosion problems and shall not be used for the normal control of erosion.
47. A checkpaY able to the Town of North Andover shall be provided in the amount of
$1,000,which shall be in all respects satisfactory to Town Counsel,Town Treasurer, and
the NACC, and shall be posted with the North Andover Town Treasurer through the

completion of all conditions hereof, shall be signed by a party or parties satisfactory to the
NACC, and Town Counsel, and shall be released after completion of the project, provided
that provisions, satisfactory to the NACC, have been made for performance of any
conditions which are of continuing nature. The applicant may propose a monetary
release schedule keyed to completionletion of specific ortions of the project for the NACC'
s
review and approval. This condition is issued under the authority of the local ByLaw.
48. The applicant shall designate a Professional Wetland Scientist as the project's "Erosion
Control Monitor" (ECM) 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 the event that
this person has to be contacted, due to an emergency at the site, during any 24-hour
period, including weekends. This professional must submit a letter to the Conservation
Department, on company letterhead stating they have been retained as the project's
Erosion Control Monitor. The designated Erosion Control Monitor is subject to
approval by the NACC. This person shall also be given the authority to stop
construction for erosion control purposes. The ECM 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.
49. On every MONDAY of 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 ECM 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 adhered to. The EMC must
visually inspect all sedimentation/erosion control measures and assume responsibility for
their maintenance on a weekly basis and that they are functioning as intended. In addition,
all wetland resource areas must be visually inspected for siltation, turbidity, and/or other
water quality impacts.
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).
