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 537 Boxford Street
Dear Mr. Baptiste and Ms. Cramer,
On November 23,2015 I received an anonymous voicemail message (call placed Saturday November 21)
stating that trees were being cut at the above address near a wetland resource area. On November 24, 2015, I
visited the site and Mr. Baptiste met me in the driveway. We observed that two large trees had been cut along
p Y g
the existing drive. Mr. Baptiste further explained that the trees were causing damage to the house and were a
danger and that he was unaware that the jurisdiction of the conservation Commission extended 100 feet from
the edge of Wetland.
According to C. 178.2 of the North Andover Wetland Protection 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 10.55). No further cutting or disturbance of any area within 100 feet of the wetland
resource areas should occur without a filing with the North Andover Conservation Commission. Please be sure
all cut material is removed from the site or if to be used as firewood that it is cut and stacked within the
maintained yard. Stumps may be cut flush but should not be removed.
The NACC has the authority to undertake additional enforcement action including formal enforcement through
the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the levying of fines. The NACC does not feel such
action is necessary at this time. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further questions or
concerns in this regard.
Sincerely,
ORTH AN OV R CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT

Information and instructions
Massachusetts General Laws chapter 152 requires all employers to provide workers'compensation for their employees.
Pursuant to this statute,an employee is defined as"...everyperson in the service of another under any contract ofhire,.
express or implied,oral or written"
An employer is defined as an individual,partnership,association,corporation or other legal entity,or any two or more
Of the foregoing engaged in a j oint enterprise,and including the legal representatives of a deceased employer,or the
receiver or trustee of an individual,partnership,association or other legal entity,employing employees. However the
owner of a dwelling house having not more than three apartments and who resides therein,or the occupant of the
dwelling house of another who employs persons to do maintenance,construction or repair work on such dwelling house
or on the grounds or building appurtenant thereto shall not because of such employment be deemed to be an employer."
MGL chapter 152,§25C(6)also states that"every state or local licensing agency shall withhold the issuance or
renewal of a license or permit to operate a business or to construct buildings in the commonwealth for any
applicant who has not produced-acceptable evidence of compliance with the insurance coverage required"
Additionally,MGL chapter 152,§25C(7)states"Neither the commonwealth nor any of its political subdivisions shall
enter into any contract for the performance ofpublic work until acceptable evidence of compliance with the insurance
requirements of this chapter have been presented to the contracting authority."
Applicants
Please fill out the workers'compensation affidavit completely,by checking the boxes that apply to your situation and,if
necessary,supply sub-contractor(s)name(s),address(es)and phone number(s)along with their certificate(s)of
insurance. Limited Liability Companies(LLC)or Limited Liability Partnerships(LLP)with no employees other than the
members or partners,are not required to carry workers'compensation insurance. Iran LLC or LLP does have
