RE: Request for permission for removal of 4 (four) trees within the Lake Cochichewick
Watershed Protection District and within Bordering Land Subject to Flooding.
Dear Mr. Saxe,
This is a follow up letter pertaining to your request to remove 4 (four) trees in close proximity to
the home, garage and child's playhouse at 400 Great Pond Road.
I have reviewed the trees and their proximity to the aforementioned resource areas. The trees
are between 10 feet and 50 feet from the Bordering Land Subject to Flooding. They appear to be
in poor health.
The North Andover Conservation Commission has determined that due to their proximity to
the structure and poor condition, the 2 (two) cedars located in close proximity to the rear wing
of the home; a river birch located in front of the home; and a dead fir tree located in a wooded
area near the playhouse; removal will be permitted in order to prevent possible injury or
property damage. These cutting activities shall be limited to the four trees identified. The area
shall be allowed to be maintained as before. Replacement trees may be planted.
The approved cutting will be subject to the following conditions:
120 Main Street, North Andover, Massachusetts 01845
Phone 978.688.9530 Fax 978.688.9542 Web www.northandoverma.gov
❖ It is anticipated that the work approved in this letter will be completed by March 1,2018.
❖ All tree limbs, brush, and other debris materials shall be taken off site and disposed of
properly.
❖ Stumps 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
trees.
❖ Upon completion of the tree removal, all disturbed areas shall be properly stabilized.
❖ The applicant shall notify this department immediately following completion of work for a
final site inspection.
❖ No further vegetation shall be removed without the prior approval of the Conservation
Department/Commission.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further questions or concerns in this
regard.
Sincerely,

RE: Response Action Outcome (RAO) Statement
Non-Polychlorinated Biphenyl(Non-PCB)Mineral Oil Dielectric Fluid(MODF)Release
Utility Pole No. 5421
400 Great Pond Road
North Andover,Massachusetts
Release Date: July 1, 2005
MA DEP Release Tracking No. 3-25192
Dear Ms. Sawyer:
In accordance with the Massachusetts Contingency Plan(MCP)and on behalf of the Massachusetts
Electric Company(MECo),Ransom Environmental Consultants,Inc. (Ransom)has prepared this letter
regarding the implementation of an Immediate Response Action(IRA)at the above-referenced site (the
Site). The MCP requires that the local chief municipal officer and board of health be notified of the
completion of-a Response Action Outcome (RAO) Statement for the Site.
1' J
IRA activities took place on July 1 and 2, 2005, following the release of approximately 10 gallons of non-
polychlorinated biphenyl(PCB)mineral oil dielectric fluid (MODF)that occurred when a traffic accident
caused a utility pole to fall to the ground, damaging a pole-mounted transformer. IRA activities included
the application of a granular oil-absorbent material to the affected portion of the asphalt-paved roadway,
washing of the affected asphalt with a detergent solution,removal of a resulting oily sheen observed on
standing water in a catch basin and the removal of a small quantity of MODF-impacted soil. Based on the
cleanup activities,Ransom's observations,and the results of confirmatory sampling,the areas impacted by
the MODF release have been satisfactorily remediated. Therefore, it is Ransom's opinion that no further
response actions are necessary and that a condition of"No Significant Risk"of harm to human health,
safety,public welfare, and the environment exists at this location regarding this release.
A copy of the RAO Statement is available for public view at the Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection(MA DEP)Northeast Region File Facility located at 35 Congress Street in
Salem, Massachusetts. MA DEP files are open for public view by appointment only, Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday 9:00 a.m. to noon. You may contact the MA DEP Northeast Region File

ATTACHMENT A
I am seeking a special permit to construct a sewer pump
station, gravity sewer and force main in order to connect my
single family residence to the municipal sewer line currently
being constructed in Great Pond Road. The house is currently
served by a septic system, which is within the "non-
disturbance" zone of the Watershed Protection Overlay
District. By connecting to the town sewer I can abandon the
septic system, thereby eliminating an allowed (as a legally
non-conforming use) but generally undesirable land use in
this District. The pump station will be equipped with
storage capacity equivalent to an average 24 hour flow.
I am also seeking a special permit to allow construction
of three parking spaces within the non-disturbance zone.
These parking spaces are accessory to the residence and are
intended to improve vehicular access to the house. As
presently configured it is very difficult to turn around in
front of the house if there are more than two cars parked
there. The parking spaces will provide off-driveway parking
and allow room for emergency vehicles to turn around.
Eight sets of plans are attached.

Dear Ms. Cormier:
I enclose herewith a questionnaire in response to your
letter of February 27 , 1979 , requesting information about
my septic system.
I regret the delay in getting the information to you,
but I had to dig out a lot of old records before I could
answer the questionnaire.
I now enclose the information which you requested and
if further information is required, please don't hesitate
to give me a ring at my office (227-5020) during the day
and at my home (612-6623) in the evening and during week-
ends.
You are, of course, welcome to inspect the system at
any time. My superintendent (Robert Mullett) is generally
on the place and will be glad to cooperate. If you do
plan an inspection, I suggest you call him at .682-4081 ,
and make an appointment.
Sincerely,
Brooks Potter

Dear Dr. Kay:
Enclosed please find the results of the percolation testing that was conducted
at the above-captioned site on September 7 and 8, 1982. These tests were
observed by Mr. Michael Rosatti of Merrimac Engineering Services, Inc. ,
representing the Town of North Andover Board of Health. A plan showing the
location and elevation of these percolation tests is enclosed. Also shown on
this plan is the location and elevation of the deep test pits that were
observed by Mr. Joseph Cushing of Gelinas Associates, representing the Town of
North Andover Board of Health on May 25, 1982. The results of these deep test
pits and a plan showing their location was previously submitted to the Board
of Health on June 1, 1982.
This information is being submitted to the Board of Health for record
purposes. It is our understanding that these soil tests are valid for a
period of one year, and that design plans for subsurface sewage disposal
systems can be submitted to the Board during that one-year period until
September 7, 1983.
We have shown on the enclosed plans, in sketch form, the proposed location of
the primary disposal area and the reserve area for two possible subsurface
sewage disposal systems. The design of the leaching facilities in all
probability would be stepped (or terraced) trenches, and the design would be
based on a percolation rate of between 25 and 30 minutes per inch. A
percolation test was conducted in the primarydisposal area and reserve area
for each system as shown on the enclosed plan.
. Depending on the family's wishes for the property, the property may or may not
be divided in the foreseeable future. It is our understanding that the family
has until this September 7, 1983 date in order to weigh their decision and
submit final design plans for the proposed subsurface sewage disposal systems.
