Dear Mr. Frank Serio, Jr., Chairman
Attached is an ammended application.8ackground:
1. Massachusetts REFUSETECH, INC. (MRI), submitted a variance request
under Section 7.4 on March 25, 1972.
2. A public hearing was scheduled and held on April 12, 1982.
3. The Notice of Decision was issued for a building variance dated
April 13, 1982.
4. The original application was submitted for the building only due to
various local and Des Plaines,Ill personnel interpretation of. Section 7.4
which excludes a free standing stack.
5. Subsequent to the issuance of the Notice of Decision, the Town Legal
Council has determined the stack is not excluded from the height
limitations shown on Table 2 for I-2 District.
Therefore, -MRI, respectfully requests an Emergency Hearing to include the
request for a variance for the installation of a 230 foot stack. The top of
the stack will exceed the Table 2 limit of 85 feet by 150 feet. The attached
marked -up print shows this elevation.
I apologize for any inconvenience this mis-interpretation may have caused
and request your expeditious processing.
Sincerely yours,

Attention: John W. Connors -
Dear John:
Per our telephone conversation, I would like to correct some mis-
information that is floating around the area.
The stack height proposed for the NESWC facility is 250 feet. The
FAA has limited us to a tip elevation of 290 feet above MSL and the
approximate base of stack elevation is 40 feet MSL. The site grading
plan has not been developed as yet and the base of stack elevation
could vary slightly, but the tip of stack elevation will be held at
elevation 290 feet.
Your staff's conclusion that 160 feet might not be sufficient to
protect your facility is valid. For your information, I am enclosing
a copy of the USEPA Preliminary Determination (draft permit) dated
April 12, 1982.
I hope this data is sufficient to allow your staff to determine that
we plan to be a good neighbor and control our emissions to an accept-
able level. If, in the review of this, your staff has any questions -
please call.
Sincerely yours,

Mr. Daniel Long, Town Clerk
Town Office Building
North Andover, Mass. 01845
Dear Mr. Long:
The Board of Appeals held a public hearing on Monday evening,
April 12, 1982 upon the application of Massachusetts Refusetech,
Inc. The hearing was advertised in the Lawrence Eagle Tribune
on March 29 and April 5,-1982 and all abutters were notified* by
regular mail. The following members were present and voting:
Frank Serio, Jr•., Chairman; Alfred E. Fri zelle, Esq., Vice -
Chairman; Augustine W. Nickerson; Maurice S. Foul ds and Walter
Soule.
The petitioner, Massachusetts Ref usetech, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of U.O.P., Inc., of Des Plains, Illinois, seeks a
variance of the provisions of Section 7, Par. 7 . 4 , and Table 2
of the Zoning By Law to enable
oofconstruct
ZoningsByuLawronwhich
prerr.ises
will exceed the height �requirments
located on the North side of Holt Road.
The land is owned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
tadjhe acent
to
the North Andover Sanitary Landfill and is located
2 zoning district. It is proposed to construct a resource recovery
system in cooperation with communities in Northeast Massachusetts
known as the Northeast Solid Waste
and Southeast New Hampshire,
Committee Project.

r Massachusetts Reafusetech, Inc. TOW EP.'K
Petition No. 16 - ' 82 NOR?•h `.:._ OYER
Pace 2
April 13, 1982 APR 13 1 33 PM PBZ
The petitioner will eventually obtain title or release to the
premises. The petitioner introduced evidence showing that the
project will consist of industrial type buildings consisting of a
` tipping floor, storage pit, overhead cranes for feeding refuse
into the system, utility type boilers, and a materials recovery
system. The project will incinerate solid waste and generate
electricity.
Drawing No. 5-7190-01.01-009D REV 0, dated March 25, 1982 was
submitted and made part of the petitioner's application.
The evidence presented shows that a major equipment component
of the facility is the utility type boiler which absorbs. heat
from hot gasses from the combustion of the refuse. The design
parameters for the. boiler require a relatively tall furnace which
will exceed the Table 2, Industrial -2 maximum height of 55 feet
by approximately 47 feet as shown on the aforementioned drawing.
Upon a motion made by Mr. Frizelle and seconded by Mr. Foulds,
the Board voted unanimously to grant the variance as requested
by the petitioner.
Pursuant to Paragraph 7.4 and 10.4 of the Zoning By Law, the
-= Board finds that said structure will not affect the zoning district',
in general and that a literal enforcement of the height restrictionl
would involve a substantial hardship to the petitioner and the
Northeast Solid Waste Committee Project and, further, that the
relief can be granted without substantially derogating from the
intent and purpose of the Zoning By Law.

Petition No. 16 - '82 NORT1-1 Otit ER
Pace 2
O
April 13, 1982 APR 13 ( 33 FM PBZ
The petitioner will eventually obtain title or release to the
premises. The petitioner introduced evidence showing .that the
project will consist of industrial type buildings consisting of a
tipping floor, storage pit, overhead cranes for feeding refuse
into the system, utility type boilers, and a materials recovery
system. The project will incinerate solid waste and generate
electricity.
Drawing No. 5-7190-01.01-009D REV 0, dated March 25, 1982 was
submitted and made part of the petitioner's application.
The evidence presented shows that a major equipment component
of the facility .is the utility type boiler which absorbs..heat
from hot gasses from the combustion of the refuse. The design
parameters for the boiler require a relatively tall furnace which
will exceed the Table 2, Industrial -2 maximum height of 55 feet
by approximately 47 feet as shown on the aforementioned drawing.
Upon a motion made by Mr. Frizelle and seconded by Mr. Foulds,
the Board voted unanimously to grant the variance as requested
by the petitioner.
Pursuant to Paragraph 7,4 and 10.4 of the Zoning By Law, the
Board finds that said structure will not affect the zoning district
ingeneral and that a literal enforcement of the height restriction
would involve a substantial hardship to the petitioner and the
Northeast Solid Waste. Committee Project and, further,, that the
relief can be granted without substantially derogating from the
intent and purpose of the Zoning By Law.

Attention: John W. Connors
Dear John:
Per our telephone conversation, I would like to correct some mis-
information that is floating around the area.
The stack height proposed for the NESWC facility is 250 feet. The
FAA has limited us to a tip elevation of 290 feet above MSL and the
approximate base of stack elevation is 40 feet MSL. The site grading
plan has not been developed as yet and the base of stack elevation
could vary slightly, but the tip of stack elevation will be held at
elevation 290 feet.
Your staff's conclusion that 160 feet might not be sufficient to
protect your facility is valid. For your information, I am enclosing
a copy of the USEPA Preliminary Determination (draft permit) dated
April 12, 1982.
I hope this data is sufficient to allow your staff to determine that
we plan to be a good neighbor and control our emissions to an accept-
able level. If, in the review of this, your staff has any questions -
please call.
Sincerely yours,
�a�A�N. Best

of heat from the combustion gases require a specific boiler configuration.
This -'.configuration causes the boiler building high- point to exceed the
55 foot Maximum Height for Industrial 2 classification.

In response to your notice of April 5, 1982 please be
advised that Western Electric's only concern with the
height of the proposed structure for Mass. Refusetech
is that it be of sufficient height to protect our facility
from harmful stack emission.
Without all the technical information available our engineers
cannot make an exact calculation, of the required height,
but do feel 160 feet is not sufficient.
Sincerely,

No application for a building permit has been re—
ceived from Mass. Refuse Tech.j Inc. It appears that in
planning for the proposed building, they find it necessary
to obtain a height variance and they are applying to your
Board for relief.
