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 796 Chickering
Road
Dear Ms. Gilbert,
During a site inspection to review the wetland resource area related to the building permit submitted for deck
reconstruction at the above referenced property, I observed unauthorized dumping of brush, yard waste and
debris within the 100' Buffer Zone to jurisdictional wetland resource area. Yard waste observed included
grass clippings, tree debris, a mailbox, bricks and other items (see photos attached). 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.
As such, The North Andover Conservation Department is hereby issuing this Violation Notice requiring that
you cease the aforementioned activities within the jurisdictional resource area, remove all stockpiled materials
by August 15, 2015 and relocate them to an area outside the 100 -foot buffer zone or properly dispose of them
off site in an appropriate location (transfer station, Cyr Recycling Center, etc). All yard waste and debris
should be removed by hand (no machinery). Please inform this department when clean up is complete.
The deck work is located within 100 feet of the wetland resource area but I understand your contractor is
revising the proposed work so that a permit should not be required. The Conservation Department will review
that when filed. The NACC has the authority to undertake additional 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.
Sincerely,
ORTH AN OVER ONS RVATION DEPARTMENT
