RE: Proposed Addition at 150 Flagship Drive North Andover, MA
This letter has been prepared to document the site inspection I conducted on April 6,
2006 at the above referenced site. The purpose of the inspection was to determine if the
proposed addition to the existing manufacturing facility would be conducted within
the buffer zone to any jurisdictional wetland resource areas pursuant to the WPA and
the North Andover Wetlands Protection Bylaw.
Determinations were also based upon a previous filing (DEP File #242-817) which
allowed the construction of the existing manufacturing building and associated
driveways, parking, grading, stormwater management structures and appurtenances
since this work was found to be within the buffer zone to a Bordering Vegetated
Wetland (BVW) and a Freshwater Wetland subject to protection under the North
Andover Bylaw only. The proposed addition was also included on the previously
approved plans, but was located greater than 200 feet from the wetland resource area
and was never built with the building. A Certificate of Compliance was issued for this
work in January of 2000.
Present conditions on the site remain consistent with the As-Built plan dated January 1,
1998 in that no additional resource areas were observed within 100' of the proposed
addition. Although exhibiting characteristics of a resource area, the existing drainage
swale located around the perimeter of the site just beyond the existing pavement does
not qualify as a protectable resource area pursuant to the Massachusetts Wetlands
Protection Act and the North Andover Wetlands Protection Bylaw. Pursuant to these
findings, the addition as proposed would be allowable without a permit from the
North Andover Conservation Commission.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further questions or concerns
in this regard. Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation.
