RE: WOLA17ON of the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act (M.G.L. C. 131 S. 40)
And the North Andover Wetland Bylaw (C. 178 of the Code of North Andover).
Dear Mr. or Mrs. Pajela:
An visual inspection was conducted by this department at the above referenced
property at the request of the Board of Health. The subject inspection was to determine
if there were jurisdictional wetlands in close proximity to proposed testing areas and
was in response to a soil test application that was submitted to the Board of Health. It
was determined that soil testing on the property would not adversely impact the
Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVW), Bank, Land Under Water (LUW), or Boston
Brook (a perennial stream protected under the Riverfront Act) which are all located
directly across the street. However, should your home require a septic repair, it is
probable that a Notice of Intent (NOD application will need to be filed with the North
Andover Conservation Commission (NACC). The NACC has jurisdiction within 100' of
wetlands through the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act, and 200' of a perennial
stream through the Riverfront Act. Chances are any work that will occur on your lot
will trigger a filing with the NACC.
This department also observed an "alteration" that took place on the Bank of Boston
Brook across the street. The term "alteration" includes, but is not limited to, the
placement of fill, excavation, or regrading (Section II. (b) of the North Andover Wetland
Regulations). This "alteration" consists of grass clippings that were recently being
illegally deposited. This "fill" is being inappropriately deposited and needs to be
removed. Wetlands, Banks, etc. and their Buffer Zones are not a desirable location to
deposit material. Please adhere to a deadline of Monday, November 23, 1998 for
removal of this waste. Dumping is prohibited within 100' of a wetland and is subject to
a $300/ day fine (Section 178.10(A) of the North Andover's Wetland Protection Bylaw).
