30. The following wetland resource areas are affected by the proposed work: Buffer Zone to
Bordering Vegetated Wetland (BVW). These resource areas are 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.
31. The NACC agrees with the applicant's delineation of the wetland resource areas on the
site as shown on the plans dated referenced herein. The wetland resource area
delineation was found to be consistent with the previously issued ORAD (242-1299)
with exception to one minor change. Flag A4 was adjusted 12 feet upslope and a new
flag (4A) was located between the new A4 and A5. These changes to the wetland
delineation were minor and result in no impact to the project as proposed. Several off
property wetlands were also identified during the project review, but were determined
to be greater than 100 feet from the proposed work as to result in no impact to these off
site resource areas.
C:\Winword\OOC\242-1394\89Mi1kSt.doc 3 NACC 8/23/2007
DEP FILE # 242 -1394
32. 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. 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).
33. The applicant has agreed to place a permanent recorded Conservation/Deed Restriction
on a portion of lot #40-1A to safeguard against possible future development and/or
subdivision. Refer to condition #43.
34. 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, any and all the above stated parties and the applicant will be held
jointly liable for any violation of this Order resulting from failure to comply with its
conditions.
35. The owners of the project and their successors in title, in the event they proceed to alter
areas subject to the Commissions 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. Maintenance of the drainage system, if accepted by the Town as
part of a public way, becomes the responsibility of the Town.
36. 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.
PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION
37. No work shall be undertaken until all administrative appeal periods from this Order have
elapsed or, if such an appeal has been filed, until all proceedings before the Department
or Court have been completed.
38. This Order shall be recorded by the applicant at the Registry of Deeds immediately after
the expiration of all appeal periods. No work shall be undertaken until the Final Order
has been recorded in the Registry of Deeds or the Land Court for the district in which the
land is located, within the chain of title of the affected property. In the case of recorded
C:\Winword\OOC\242-1394\89MilkSt.doc 4 NACC 8/23/2007
a

land, the Final Order shall also be noted in the Registry's Grantor Index under the name
of the owner of the land upon which the proposed work is to be done. In the case of
registered land, the Final Order shall also be noted on the Land Court Certificate of Title
of the owner of the land upon which the proposed work is to be done. The recording
information shall be submitted to the North Andover Conservation Commission on the
form at the end of this Order prior to commencement of the work. Any Order not
recorded by the applicant before work commences may be recorded by the NACC at
the applicant's expense.
39. A sign shall be displayed at the site not less than two square feet or more than three
square feet in size bearing the words "Massachusetts DEP, File Number 242-1392."
40. Any changes in the submitted plans caused by the applicant, state or federal agency,
another Board's decision or resulting from this Order of Conditions must be submitted
to the NACC for approval prior to implementation. Said revisions shall be submitted as
part of the record filing. 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 and an explanation of the revisions shall
be submitted to the NACC for 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.
41. It is the responsibility of the applicant, owner, and/or successor(s) to ensure that all
conditions of this Order of Conditions are complied with. The project engineer and
contractors are to be provided with a copy of this Order of Conditions and referenced
documents before commencement of construction.
42. Prior to any work commencing on site, the applicant shall submit to the NACC for
approval, a detailed sequence of construction, including a dated timetable of
construction, the construction of compensation and retention areas, installation of
sedimentation/erosion control devices and re -vegetation to be completed before other
work begins on-site.
43. Prior to any work commencing on site, the applicant shall submit a ConservatiorVDeed
Restriction on lot #40-1A, limiting any future disturbances within this lot, to the
Conservation Department for review and approval. Upon review and approval, the
applicant shall record said restriction and submit proof of recording to the
Conservation Department.
44. Wetland flagging shall be checked prior to start of construction and shall be re-
established where missing. All wetland flagging shall remain visible and enumerated
per the approved plan(s) throughout the life of the project and until a Certificate of
Compliance is issued so that erosion control measures can be properly placed and
C:\Winword\OOC\242-1394\89MilkSt.doc 5 NACC 8/23/2007
DEP FILE # 242 -1394
wetland impacts can be monitored. The proposed limit of work shall be shall be clearly
marked with stakes or flags and shall be confirmed by the NACC. Such markers shall be
checked and replaced as necessary and shall be maintained until all construction is
complete. Workers should be informed that no use of machinery, storage of machinery or
materials, stockpiling of soil, or construction activity is to occur beyond this line at any
time. All flags used for the above purposes shall be of a color different from other
flagging used on the site.
45. A row of staked hay bales backed by trenched siltation fence shall be placed between all
construction areas and wetlands. The erosion control barrier will 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 be implemented at the direction of the NACC. The NACC reserves the right to
impose additional conditions on portions of this project to mitigate any impacts which
could result from site erosion, or any noticeable degradation of surface water quality
discharging from the site. For example, installation of erosion control measures may be
required in areas not shown on the plan(s) referenced in this Order of Conditions. Should
such installation be required by the NACC, they shall be installed within 48 hours of the
Commission's request.
46. The applicant shall have on hand at the start of any soil disturbance, removal or
stockpiling, a minimum of 30 hay bales and sufficient stakes for staking these bales (or an
equivalent amount of silt fence). Said bales shall be used only for the control of
emergency erosion problems and shall not be used for the normal control of erosion.
Additional emergency erosion controls shall be on site prior to the commencement of
any work and shall verified by the Conservation Department during the pre -
construction meeting.
47. A check payable to the Town of North Andover shall be provided in the amount of
$10,000 shall be provided to the Town of North Andover, which shall be in all respects
satisfactory to Town Counsel, Town Treasurer, and the NACC, and shall be posted with
the North Andover Town Treasurer through the NACC before commencement of work.
Said deposit of money shall be conditioned on the completion of all conditions hereof,
shall be signed by a party or parties satisfactory to the NACC, and Town Counsel, and
shall be released after completion of the project, provided that provisions, satisfactory to
the NACC, have been made for performance of any conditions which are of continuing
nature. The applicant may propose a monetary release schedule keyed to completion of
specific portions of the project for the NACC's review and approval. This condition is
issued under the authority of the local ByLaw.
48. The applicant shall be responsible for placing signs on each parcel designating the
applicable lot number as depicted on the plans approved and referenced herein.
C:\Winword\OOC\242-1394\89MilkSt.doc 6 NACC 8/23/2007
DEP FILE # 242 -1394
49. Prior to the construction of the single family homes on lot #40-3 and #40-1A and prior
to sign off on the building permit for this lot, the corners of the foundation shall be
staked in the field by a Registered Professional Land Surveyor (R.P.L.S.) for field
verification by the Conservation Department.
50. Prior to construction, the applicant shall permanently mark the edge of the No -
Disturbance Zone with sixteen (16) signs or markers spaced evenly every 40 feet
incorporating the following text: "Protected Wetland Resource Area". This will
designate their sensitivity and assure no further inadvertent encroachment into the
wetland. These permanent markers are subject to review and approval by the NACC.
The applicant shall instruct all agents to explain these markers to

DEP File Number:
242-1305
The applicant, the owner, any person aggrieved by this Order, any owner of land abutting the land subject
to this Order, or any ten residents of the city or town in which such land is located, are hereby notified of
their right to request the appropriate DEP Regional Office to issue a Superseding Order of Conditions.
The request must be made by certified mail or hand delivery to the Department, with the appropriate filing
fee and a completed Request of Departmental Action Fee Transmittal Form, as provided in 310 CMR
10.03(7) within ten business days from the date of issuance of this Order. A copy of the request shall at
the same time be sent by certified mail or hand delivery to the Conservation Commission and to the
applicant, if he/she is not the appellant. Any appellants seeking to appeal the Department's Superseding
Order associated with this appeal will be required to demonstrate prior participation in the review of this project.
Previous participation in the permit proceeding means the submission of written information to the
Conservation Commission prior to the close of the public hearing; requesting a Superseding Order or
Determination, or providing written information to the Department prior to issuance of a Superseding Order
or Determination.
The request shall state clearly and concisely the objections to the Order which is being appealed and how
the Order does not contribute to the protection of the interests identified in the Massachusetts Wetlands
Protection Act, (M.G.L. c. 131, § 40) and is inconsistent with the wetlands regulations (310 CMR 10.00).
To the extent that the Order is based on a municipal ordinance or bylaw, and not on the Massachusetts
Wetlands Protection Act or regulations, the Department has no appellate jurisdiction.
