RE: Removal of tree damaged during Hurricane Irene within the buffer zone to wetland
resource areas.
Per your request to remove a large Catalpa tree which was damaged during Hurricane Irene, the
North Andover Conservation Department authorizes the removal of the tree shown in the
attached photographs. The tree is with the jurisdiction of the North Andover Conservation
Commission (NACC). The tree is located within the 25' No-Disturbance Zone pursuant to the
North Andover Wetlands Protection Bylaw (C. 178 of the Code of North Andover). Removal of
vegetation, including pruning and cutting, is prohibited within the No-Disturbance Zone except
in rare circumstances, such as safety.
The Conservation Department will permit the removal of the above referenced tree in order to
prevent possible injury or property damage. These cutting activities shall be limited to the tree
identified which shall be removed without machinery entering the area. Machine access shall be
limited to the street.
The approved cutting will be subject to the following conditions:
❖ The work approved in this letter shall be completed by December 1, 2011.
❖ No machinery shall enter the 25' No Disturbance Zone and machine access shall be from the
street.
❖ No work shall occur in resource areas.
❖ All tree limbs, brush, and other debris materials shall be taken off site and disposed of
properly (brush dump on Sharpners Pond Road or other approved facility).
❖ Stump of the tree shall not be removed and shall be left in place. Stumps may be ground
down or cut flush with the landscape.
❖ Care shall be taken to prevent damage to surrounding trees during removal of the approved
tree.
❖ Upon completion of the tree removal, all disturbed areas shall be properly stabilized.

riverfront area boundary. Restoration shall include:
1. removal of all debris,but retaining any trees or other mature vegetation;
2. grading to a topography which reduces runoff and increases infiltration;
3. coverage by topsoil at a depth consistent with natural conditions at the site;and
4. seeding and planting with an erosion control seed mixture,followed by plantings of herbaceous
and woody species appropriate to the site;
(g) When an applicant proposes mitigation either on-site or in the riverfront area within the same
general area of the river basin, alteration may be allowed notwithstanding the criteria of 310 CMR
10.58(5)(c),(d),or(e)at a ratio in square feet of at least 2:1 of mitigation area to area of alteration not
i conforming to the criteria or an equivalent level of environmental protection where square footage is
I not a relevant measure. Alteration not conforming to the criteria shall begin at the riverfront area
boundary. Mitigation may include off-site restoration of riverfront areas, conservation restrictions
under M.G.L. c. 184, §§ 31 to 33 to preserve undisturbed riverfront areas that could be otherwise

restoration of bordering vegetated wetland,projects to remedy an existing adverse impact on the interests
f identified in M.GL.c. 131,§40 for which the applicant is not legally responsible,or similar activities

no significant adverse impact.Preference shall be given to potential mitigation projects,if any,identified
in a River Basin Plan approved by the Secretary of the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs.
(h) The issuing authority shall include a continuing condition in the Certificate of Compliance for
projects under 310 CMR 10.58(5)(f) or (g) prohibiting further alteration within the restoration or
