This letter pertains to your written request to remove fifteen (15) trees which are in close proximity to your home and yard at 335 Chestnut Street and are within Bordering Vegetated Wetland (BVW) and the associated Buffer Zone. The trees were reviewed during a site visit by the Conservation Department with the homeowner on July 27, 2015. The trees which are permitted to be removed were marked with blue and yellow ribbon and also identified on a Mortgage Inspection plan dated August 22, 2012. Twelve (12) of the fifteen (15) identified trees are permitted for removal while three (3), which are in a wooded area and not within the maintained yard, were not approved and the marking ribbons should be removed (identified as trees 11, 12 & 13 on the submitted plan). All twelve trees approved for removal were observed to be dead, dying and/or a danger to the home. 'Determination of property ownership is the responsibility of the homeowner. Due to the potential danger imposed by the trees, the Conservation Department will permit their removal to prevent possible injury or property damage. These cutting activities shall be limited to the twelve trees identified and shown in the submitted plan. In addition, the Conservation Department requires that you plant a minimum of six (6) shrubs (minimum 4 -foot in size) along the edge of lawn in the area of tree removal from the following list: high -bush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), winterberry (Ilex verticillate) or red -osier dogwood (Cornus sericea/stolonifera). In addition, after discussion with the chairman of the North Andover Conservation Commission (NACC), you may install an outlet pipe to an interior sump pump system to relieve basement flooding. This pipe is to extend no more than 10 feet from basement at the rear of the home. 1600 Osgood Street, North Andover, Massachusetts 01845 Phone 918.688.9530 Fax 918.688.9542 Web www.townofnorthandover.com The approved cutting and pipe installation will be subject to the following conditions: ❖ Please notify the Conservation Department prior to the start of work and provide a detail of how trees within the BVW will be removed. •3 No machinery shall enter the BVW or 25' No Disturbance Zone. ❖ All tree limbs, brush, and other debris materials shall be taken off site and disposed of properly. ❖ Stumps of the trees shall not be removed and shall be left in place.

CONSERVATION COMMISS Contact: (978) 828-5623, cebethyRgmail.com Present Conditions: A certified wetlands ecologist, Richelle Angeli (Arrow Environmental, LLC), completed a wetlands delineation on the property, 335 Chestnut St. North Andover) and marked with pink ground flags and tree ribbons. The proposed project will be greater than 25 feet from any delineated line of wetlands (see plot plan with detailed picture). Scope of the Project: The installation of a sump pump tube will run approximately 10 feet from the basement at back of the home to the backyard. The discharge pipe will exit into daylight and discharge greater than 25 feet from the edge of the wetlands. This tube will also prevent storm and ground water from entering the home. Rationale: This small project will have minimal impact on the wetland resource areas as it will only prevent water from entering and mold spores from propagating inside the home. Currently, there are two residents in the home who suffer from asthma, one of whom is thirteen. Damp conditions and mold spores have the potential to cause life- threatening symptoms. Request: We request an emergency action to install a sump pump for the purpose of preventing water from entering our home and causing a health problem for the owner/resident and his thirteen year old daughter.
