Buffer Zone to Bordering Vegetated Wetland. These resource areas are
CAWinword\00C\242-1221. doc
NACC 11/3/03
DEP FILE # 242 -1221
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 these resource areas to the identified interests.
30. The NACC agrees with the applicant's delineation of the wetland resource
areas on the site as shown on the plans dated referenced herein.
31. 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 twenty
five foot (25') No -Disturbance Zone and a fifty foot (50') No -Construction
Zone shall be established from the edge of the adjacent wetland resource area
(except in those areas previously disturbed). The Conservation Administrator
and/or other agents of the NACC do not have the authority to waive these
setbacks as established under the local bylaw. No disturbance of existing
grade, soils or vegetation is. permitted in the No -Disturbance zone. (See
Section 3.4 & Appendix F of the local Regulations).
32. This document shall be included in all construction contracts, subcontracts,
and specifications dealing with the work proposed and shall supersede any
conflicting contract requirements. The applicant shall assure that all
contractors, subcontractors, and other personnel performing the permitting
work are fully aware of the permits terms, and conditions. Thereafter, the
contractor will be held jointly liable for any violation of this Order resulting
from failure to comply with its conditions.
33. The owners of the project and their successors in title, in the event they
proceed to alter areas subject to the Commission's jurisdiction under the
order, agree that the Order does not in itself impose upon the Town any
responsibility to maintain the proposed drainage system and that said Town
shall not be liable for any damage in the event of failure. By acceptance of
this Order, the owners agree to indemnify and hold harmless to the Town
and its residents for any damage attributable to alterations undertaken on
this property pursuant to the Order. Issuance of these Conditions does not in
any way imply or certify that the site or downstream areas will not be subject
to flooding, storm damage or any other form of water damage. Maintenance
of the drainage system, if accepted by the Town as part of a public way,
becomes the responsibility of the Town.
34. Issuance of these Conditions does not in any way imply or certify that the site
or downstream areas will not be subject to flooding, storm damage or any
other form of water damage.

immediately after the expiration of all appeal periods. No work shall be

Andover Conservation Commission on the form at the end of this Order

applicant before work commences may be recorded by the NACC at the

three square feet in size bearing the words Massachusetts DEP, File
Number 242-1221.
38. Any changes in the submitted plans caused by the applicant, another
Board's decision or resulting from this Order of Conditions must be
submitted to the NACC for approval prior to implementation. If the NACC
finds said changes to be significant, the NACC will call for another public
hearing (at the expense of the applicant). Within 21 days of the close of said
public hearing the NACC will issue an amended or new Order of Conditions.
Any errors found in the plans or information submitted by the applicant shall
be considered as changes. The proposed project may be still under review by
other local or state boards or agencies. This may result in changes to the
project plans or wetland impacts. If any such changes occur a revised plan

review and approval prior to the start of construction. No work shall begin
on a project until written approval has been granted by the NACC.

NACC for approval, a detailed sequence of construction, including the
construction of compensation and retention areas, installation of
sedimentation/ erosion control devices and re -vegetation to be completed

41. Wetland flagging shall be checked prior to start of construction and shall be
re-established where missing. All wetland flagging shall remain visible and

be properly installed and placed as shown on the plans approved and
referenced herein and shall be inspected and approved by the NACC prior to
the start of construction and shall remain intact until all disturbed areas have
been permanently stabilized to prevent erosion. All erosion prevention and
sedimentation protection measures found necessary during construction shall
