Box 565 North Andover, MA 01845 RE: VIOLATION of the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act (M.G.L. C.131 § 40) and the North Andover Wetland Protection Bylaw (C. 178 of the Code of North Andover) at 357 Candlestick Road. Dear Ms. Connolly / Mr. Gill, During a site inspection on August 1, 2011 to review the wetland resource area related to the building permit submitted for an in -ground hot tub at the above referenced property, I observed unpermitted construction activities (patio, stone wall, hot tub installation and landscaping) as well as the dumping of a large amount of brush and yard waste within the 100 foot Buffer Zone to a jurisdictional wetland resource area and a potential vernal pool. Yard waste observed included dirt, bark mulch, grass clippings and tree debris. A large portion of the dumping is within the 25 foot No -Disturbance Zone. These areas are jurisdictional to the North Andover Conservation Commission (NACC) under the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act (WPA) and the North Andover Wetland Protection Bylaw (Bylaw). According to C. 178.2 of the Bylaw, "No person shall engage in the following activities: removal, filling, dredging, discharging into, building upon, or otherwise altering or degrading the wetland resource areas..." including any 100 -foot buffer zone (see also Wetland Protection Act Regulations 310 CMR 10.00). Work within 100 -feet of a wetland resource area requires a filing with the NACC under both the Massachusetts WPA and the Bylaw (more information is available at the Town of North Andover website under the Conservation Department link). As such, The North Andover Conservation Department is hereby issuing this Violation Notice requiring that you cease all activities within the jurisdictional resource area and the associated 100 foot Buffer Zone. The Conservation Department requires that you obtain a wetland delineation by August 12, 2011. Please contact the conservation department when the delineation has been completed. A list of wetland scientists that routinely work in North Andover is provided along with this letter. Upon the completion of the delineation a filing with the NACC will be required. The type of filing will be determined based upon the work that has occurred within the jurisdiction of the NACC. 1600 Osgood Street, North Andover, Massachusetts 01845 Phone 978.688.9530 fax 978.688.9542 Web www.townofnorthandover.com N The North Andover Conservation Commission has the authority to undertake enforcement action including the levying of fines. The NACC does not feel such action is necessary at this time and looks forward to your immediate cooperation in this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further questions or concerns in this regard.

The work associated with this Order(the "Project") is (1) f- is not (2) r subject to the Massachusetts Stormwater Standards. If the work is subject to Stormwater Standards, then the project is subject to the following conditions; a) All work, including site preparation, land disturbance, construction and redevelopment, shall be implemented in accordance with the construction period pollution prevention and erosion and sedimentation control plan and, if applicable, the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan required by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Construction General Permit as required by Stormwater Standard 8. Construction period erosion, sedimentation and pollution control measures and best management practices (BMPs) shall remain in place until the site is fully stabilized. b) No stormwater runoff may be discharged to the post-construction stormwater BMPs unless and until a Registered Professional Engineer provides a Certification that: i. all construction period BMPs have been removed or will be removed by a date certain specified in the Certification. For any construction period BMPs intended to be converted to post construction operation for stormwater attemTation, recharge, and/or treatment, the conversion is allowed by the MassDEP Stormwater Handbook BMP specifications and that the BMP has been properly cleaned or prepared for post construction operation, including removal of all construction period sediment trapped in inlet and outlet control structures; ii.. as-built final construction BMP plans are included, signed and stamped by a Registered Professional Engineer, certifying the site is fully stabilized; iia: any illicit discharges to the stormwater management system have been removed, as per the requirements of Stormwater Page 5 of 10 * ELECTRONIC COPY Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Provided by MassDEP: Bureau of Resource Protection - Wetlands MassDEP File #:242-1536 ., WPA Form 5 -Order of Conditions eDEP Transaction #:428120City/Town:NORTH ANDOVER Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act M.G.L. c. 131, §40 Standard 10; iv. all post -construction stormwater BMPs are installed in accordance with the plans (including all planting plans) approved by the issuing authority, and have been inspected to ensure that they are not damaged and that they are in proper working condition; v. any vegetation associated with post -construction BMPs is suitably established to withstand erosion. c) The landowner is responsible for BMP maintenance until the issuing authority is notified that another party has legally assumed responsibility for BMP maintenance. Prior to requesting a Certificate of Compliance, or Partial Certificate of Compliance, the responsible party (defined in General Condition 19(e)) shall execute and submit to the issuing authority an Operation and Maintenance Compliance Statement ("O&M Statement") for the Stormwater BMPs identifying the party responsible for implementing the stormwater BMP Operation and Maintenance Plan ("O&M Plan") and certifying the following: i.) the O&M Plan is complete and will be implemented upon receipt of the Certificate of Compliance, and ii.) the future responsible parties shall be notified in writing of their ongoing legal responsibility to operate and maintain the stormwater management BMPs and implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. d) Post -construction pollution prevention and source control shall be implemented in accordance with the long-term pollution prevention plan section of the approved Stormwater Report and, if applicable, the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan required by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Multi -Sector General Permit. e) Unless and until another party accepts responsibility, the landowner, or owner of any drainage easement, assumes responsibility for maintaining each BMP. To overcome this presumption, the landowner of the property must submit to the issuing authority a legally binding agreement of record, acceptable to the issuing authority, evidencing that another entity has accepted responsibility for maintaining the BMP, and that the proposed responsible party shall be treated as a permittee for purposes of implementing the requirements of Conditions 19(f) through 19(k) with respect to that BMP. Any failure of the proposed responsible party to implement the requirements of Conditions 19(f) through 19(k) with respect to that BMP shall be a violation of the Order of Conditions or Certificate of Compliance. In the case of stormwater BMPs that are serving more than one lot, the legally binding agreement shall also identify the lots that will be serviced by the stormwater BMPs. A plan and easement deed that grants the responsible party access to perform the required operation and maintenance must be submitted along with the legally binding agreement. fl The responsible party shall operate and maintain all stormwater BMPs in accordance with the design plans, the O&M Plan, and the requirements of the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook. g) The responsible party shall: 1.

Failure to comply with all conditions stated herein, and with all related statutes and other regulatory measures, shall be deemed cause to revoke or modify this Order. 25. This Order does not grant any property rights or any exclusive privileges; it does not authorize any injury to private property or invasion of property rights. However, the NACC, agent of the NACC or the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) reserves the right to enter and inspect the property at all reasonable times until a Certificate of Compliance is issued, to evaluate compliance with this Order of Conditions, the Act (310 CMR 10.00), the North Andover Wetland ByLaw and Regulations, and may require any information, measurements, photographs, observations, and/or materials, or may require the submittal of any data or information deemed necessary by the NACC for that evaluation. Further, work shall be halted on the site if the NACC, agent or DEP determines that any of the work is not in compliance with this Order of Conditions. Work shall not resume until the NACC is satisfied that the work will comply and has so notified the applicant in writing. 26. This Order does not relieve the permittee or any other person of the necessity of complying with all other applicable federal, state or local statutes, ordinances, by-laws or regulations. 27. The work authorized hereunder shall be completed within three years from the date of this order. 28. This Order may be extended by the issuing authority for one but not more than two periods of up to one year each upon application to the issuing authority at least thirty days(30) prior to the expiration date of the Order (Refer to Section 8.3 (p.37) of the North Andover Wetland Regulations). 29.

Any future project which proposes a wetland crossing in order to access certain portions of the property will not be qualified as a limited project roadway under 310 CMR 10.53(e). 32. The following wetland resource areas are affected by the proposed work: Buffer Zone to Bordering Vegetated Wetland and Ephemeral Pool/ Ephemeral Pool Habitat. These resource areas are significant to the interests of the Act and Town ByLaw as noted above and therein. The applicant has not attempted to overcome the presumption of significance of this resource area to the identified interests. 242-1536, 357 Candlestick Road.doc 2 NACC 10/27/2011 DEP FILE # 242 -1536 33. The NACC agrees with the applicant's delineation of the wetland resource area (Flags WF1-WF10) as shown on the plan dated and referenced herein. 34. 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 fiftyfoot oot (50') No -Disturbance Zone and a seventy five foot (751 No -Construction Zone shall be established from the edge of the adjacent wetland resource area as depicted on the record plan referenced herein except as follows: portion of the spa and patio in the No -Build Zone.
