MUHS Com=poa" COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS EXECOT12'VE OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION DIVISION OF WATER POLLUTION CONTROL IN THE MATTER OF ) Administrative Consent Order The Town of North Andover } ACO -NE -98-1004 I. PARTIES 1. The Department of Environmental Protection (the "Department") is a duly constituted agency of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, established pursuant to G.L. c.21A, §7, having a principal office at One Winter Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 and a regional office at 205 Lowell Street, Wilmington, Massachusetts 01887. The Department has primary responsibility to implement the Massachusetts Clean Waters Act, G.L. c.21, §§.26-53, and the regulations promulgated thereunder at 314 CMR 3.00 and 12.00. 2. The Town of North Andover (the "Town") is a municipal corporation in the State of Massachusetts having a principal place of business and mailing address at North Andover Town Hall, 120 Main St., North Andover, MA 01845. The Town owns, operates and maintains a municipal sewer system that collects and transports sewage and other wastes from properties connected thereto to the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District Interceptor. II. STATEMENT OF FACTS AND LAW 3. In November of 1978, the Massachusetts Division of Water Pollution Control issued an"order to the Town requiring it to correct sewage overflow problems from a sewer manhole at the end of Glenwood Street near the Shawsheen River. Overflows from this area, a section of the West Side Trunk Sewer, still persist. As a result of these overflows, the Town discharges raw sewage to the Shawsheen River. To date, the Town has not applied for or obtained a permit authorizing the discharge of of pollutants to the Shawsheen River from the West Side Sewer. 10 Commerce Way 0 Wobura, Mamckusetts 01801 0 FAX (617) 932-7615 • Tekpbom (617) 932-7600 4 TDD 1 (617) 932-7679 sewage overzlows from the West Side vSewer yinto the Shawsheen River. 4. There have been numerous citizen complaints in the Glenwood Street area of sewer overflows from the West Side Sewer directly into the Shawsheen River during high groundwater/storm events. A river sampling station near this area indicated high coliform counts. 5. A report, drafted in May 1993, prepared by LEA Guertin and Associates., identified capacity problems in the West Side Sewer from Greene Street at Waverly Road along the Shawsheen River and Sutton Street to the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District Interceptor. These capacity problems are one cause of the sewer overflows into the Shawsheen River. 6_ Flow metering of the West Side Sewer indicates large qualities of infiltration and inflow ("I/I") are entering the West Side Sewer. This I/I contributes to the capacity problems and the sewage overflows from the West Side Sewer into the Shawsheen River. Because of growth in the area, the reduction of I/I alone will not eliminate the sewage overflows from the West Side Sewer into the Shawsheen River. 7_ The Shawsheen River, a water of the Commonwealth, is classified as a Class B river which is designated suitable for swimming and boating. 8. G.L. c. 21, §43 (2) , provides as follows: No person shall discharge pollutants into the waters of the commonwealth, nor construct, install, modify, operate or maintain an outlet for such discharge or any treatment works, without a currently valid permit issued by the director. No person shall engage in'any other activity that may reasonably be expected to result, directly or indirectly, in discharge of Pollutants into waters of the commonwealth, nor construct, effect, maintain, modify or use any sewer extension or connection, without a currently valid permit issued by the director, unless exempted by regulation -of the Director. 9 G.L. c.21, §42 provides, in part, as follows: Any person, who directly or indirectly, throws, drains, runs, discharges or allows the discharge of any pollutant into W=aters of the commonwealtb_, except .in conformity with a permit issued under section forty-three; or who violates any provision of this chapter, any valid regulation, order or permit prescribed or issued by the director thereunder; or who knowingly makes any false' representation in an application, record, report or plan, or falsifies, tampers with or readers inaccurate a monitoring device or method, required under this chapter, (a) shall be punished by a fine of not less than two thousand five hundred dollars nor more than twenty-five thousand dollars per day of such violation, which may be assessed in an action brought on behalf of the commonwealth in any court of competent jurisdiction. 10- 314 CMR 3.03 (1) states: No person shall discharge pollutants into surface waters of the Commonwealth without a currently valid permit from the Director pursuant to M. G. L. C. 21, §43 and 314 CMR 3. 00, unless exempted in 314 CMR 3.05. No person shall construct, install, modify, operate or maintain an outlet for such a discharge without having first obtained a discharge permit in accordance with 314 CMR 3.03 and written approval from the Director for such activity. Any person who discharges or proposes to discharge pollutants to surface waters of the Commonwealth may obtain a permit by filing the appropriate application forms in accordance with' 314 CMR 2.00 and 3.00. r., 11. 314 CMR 12.03(8) provides: No person responsible for the operation of a treatment works shall.permit wastes to bypass the facility or any portion, unit or part thereof, except as may be necessary under existing design limitations as approved by the Department, unless in accordance with the provisions of a discharge permit. If bypassing due to an emergency condition occurs, the Division shall be notified immediately. Such notification or its acknowledgement shall not be construed as permission by the Director to discharge wastes in contravention of the Massachusetts water quality standards. 12. By discharging pollutants into the Shawsheen River without a permit authorizing the discharge, .the Town has violated and is continuing to violate the G.L.c. 21, sec. 43(2), 314 CMR 3.03(2) and 314 CMR 12.03 (8) . III DISPOSITION 13- For the reasons set ' forth above and because the Department and the Town believe that it is in the. public interest and in their own interests to conserve the considerable resources that litigation of the issues that are the basis of this Consent Order may be expected to consume, and pursuant to the authority granted to the Department under G.L. c.21, §§26-53 and G .

PARTIES TRUDY CORE - S=tmrf DAVID B. STBUHS Commimv Administrative Consent 'Order ACO -NE -98-1004 1. The Department of Environmental Protection (the "Department") is a duly constituted agency of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, established pursuant to G.L. c.21A, §7, having a principal office at One Winter Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 and a regional office at 205 Lowell Street, Wilmington, Massachusetts 01887. The Department has primary responsibility to implement the Massachusetts Clean Waters Act, G.L. c.21, §§.26-53, and the regulations promulgated thereunder at 314 CMR 3.00 and 12.00. 2. The Town of North Andover (the "Town") is a municipal corporation in the State of Massachusetts having a principal place of business and mailing address at North Andover Town Hall, 120 Main St., North Andover, MA 01845. The Town owns, operates and maintains a municipal sewer system that collects and transports sewage and other wastes from properties connected thereto to the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District Interceptor. II. STATEMENT OF FACTS AND LAW 3. In November of 1978, the Massachusetts Division of Water Pollution Control issued an"order to the Town requiring it to correct sewage overflow problems from a sewer manhole at the end of Glenwood Street near the Shawsheen River. Overflows from this area, a section of the West Side Trunk Sewer, still persist. As a result of these overflows, the Town discharges raw sewage to the Shawsheen River. To date, the Town has not applied for or obtained a permit authorizing the discharge of of pollutants to the Shawsheen River from the West Side Sewer. 10 C-- Way • Women, Mamchusetts 01801 0 FAX (617) 932-7615 • Tekpb,o x (617) 932-7600 • TDD 1 (617) 932-7677 -- --' ' - _yam r --cry �rnenc oz sewage oveflows from the West Side vSewer yinto the Shawsheen River. 4. There have been numerous citizen complaints in the Glenwood Street area of sewer overflows from the West Side Sewer directly into the Shawsheen River during high groundwater/storm events_ A river sampling station near this area indicated high coliform counts. 5. A report, drafted in May 1993, prepared by LEA Guertin and Associates., identified capacity problems in the West Side Sewer from Greene Street at Waverly Road along the Shawsheen River and Sutton Street to the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District Interceptor. These capacity problems are one cause of the sewer -overflows into the Shawsheen River. 6. Flow metering of the West Side Sewer indicates large qualities of infiltration and inflow ("I/I") are entering the West Side Sewer. This I/I contributes to the capacity problems and the sewage overflows from the West Side Sewer into the Shawsheen River. Because of growth in the area, the reduction of I/I alone will not eliminate the sewage overflows from the West Side Sewer into the Shawsheen River. 7. The Shawsheen River, a water of the Commonwealth, is classified as a Class B river which is designated suitable for swimming and boating. 8. G.L. c. 21, §43(2), provides as follows: No person shall discharge pollutants into the waters of the commonwealth, nor construct, install, modify, operate or maintain an outlet for such discharge or any treatment works, without a currently valid permit issued by the director. No person shall engage in 'any other activity that may reasonably be expected to result, directly or indirectly, in discharge of pollutants into waters of the commonwealth, nor construct, effect, maintain, modify or use any sewer extension or connection, without a currently valid permit issued by the director, unless exempted by regulation of the Director. 9 G.L. c.21, §42 provides, in part, as follows: Any person, who directly or indirectly, throws, drains, runs, discharges or allows the discharge of any pollutant into :sate=s of the comumonwealtb, except .in conformity with a permit issued under section forty-three; or who violates any provision of this chapter, any valid regulation, order or permit prescribed or issued by the director thereunder; or who knowingly makes any false' representation in an application, record, report or plan, or falsifies, tampers with or readers inaccurate a monitoring device or method, required under this chapter, (a) shall be punished by a fine of not less than two thousand five hundred dollars nor more than twenty-five thousand dollars per day of such violation, which may be assessed in an action brought on behalf of the commonwealth in any court of competent jurisdiction. 10. 314 CMR 3.03 (1) states: No person shall discharge pollutants into surface waters of the Commonwealth without a currently valid permit from the Director pursuant to M.G.L. c.21, §43 and 314 CMR 3.00, unless exempted in 314 CMR 3.05. No person shall construct, install, modify, operate or maintain an outlet for such a discharge without having first obtained a discharge permit in accordance with 314 CMR 3.03 and written approval from the Director for such activity. Any person who discharges or proposes to discharge pollutants to surface waters of the Commonwealth may obtain a permit by filing the appropriate application forms in accordance with 314 CMR 2.00 and 3.00. i, 11. 314 CMR 12. 03 (8 ) provides t No person responsible for the operation of a treatment works shall -permit wastes to bypass the facility or any portion, unit or part thereof, except as may be necessary under existing design limitations as approved by the Department, unless in accordance with the provisions of a discharge permit. If bypassing due to an emergency condi tion oc yrs, the Division shall be notified immediately. Such notification or its acknowledgement shall, not be construed as permission by the Director to discharge wastes in contravention' of the Massachusetts water quality standards. 12. By discharging pollutants into the Shawsheen River without a permit authorizing the discharge, .the Town has violated and is continuing to violate the G.L.c. 21, sec. 43(2), 314 CMR 3.03 (2) and 314 CMR 12.03 (8) . III DISPOSITION 13.

Halpin A L INFILTRATION AND INFLOW REMOVAL PROGRAM • FINAL REPORT RECOMMENDATIONS • INFILTRATION REMOVED 1N 1997 • PHASE III SEWER REHABILITATION PROGRAM • CONTRACT #1 PROPOSED ADDITIONAL WORK NORTH ANDOVER I/L SSES _ SECTION I INTRODUCTION PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to present the findings of the Infiltradon/Inflow (I/I) Analysis and the Phase I and II Sewer System Evaluation Survey (SSES) conducted for the Town of North Andover, Massachusetts. Interim letter reports on the Infiltration Analysis (April 30, 1990); Inflow Analysis (September 13, 1990), and Cost-effectiveness Analysis for Cleaning and TV inspection (May 7, 1991) were prepared by LEA Group and reviewed by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection prior to the start of the Sewer System Evaluation Survey. This report presents the information in these letter reports, as well as the results of Phase I and II of the SSES. The objectives of this study were to determine whether any portions or the entirety of the Town's Sewage System tributary to the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District Wastewater Treatment Facility is subject to excessive infiltration and/or inflow, and to develop prioritized reduction of excessive I/I. The appropriateness of such recommendations is governed by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection "Guidelines for performing Infiltration/Inflow Analyses and Sewer System Evaluation Surveys", Revised July, 1989. The presence of extraneous 1/I flows increase wastewater transport and treatment costs, and reduces the capacity of the system to accept additional wastewater flows. System capacity is an important issue since the Town of North Andover has plans to expand the sewer system in the Lake Cochichewick watershed, as well as to expand sewer service to the Route 114 area. These expansion plans will not be feasible unless the downstream sewer has capacity to accept the additional flows. STUDY AREA The Town of North Andover is located in the Merrimack River Valley and encompasses an area of approximately 26.6 square miles (17,043 acres). The topography of the Town includes a relatively flat plain bordering the Merrimack River and extending roughly to Chickering Road. The remainder of the community is comprised of a series of hills with assorted valleys and wetland systems. Lake Cochichewick (the Town's water supply) is the dominant land feature in the north central section of North Andover. r)tl 111 ANIx)V R 1/I: SSFS The most densely developed area of North Andover is located in the northern sc,�tion of the town adjacent to the Merrimack River and the City of Lawrence. This area also contains the commercial center of North Andover and is served by public sewer. The southern section of 'north Andover is less densely developed and is more residential in nature, with on-site septic systems. Sewage flows are conveyed to the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District wastewater treatment plant. The Town plans to extend sewer service to the Great Pond Road area, as a means to protect the water quality of Lake Cochichewick. In addition, a feasibility study of extending sewer service along Route 114 to the Middleton town line has been prepared, but there are no definite plans for construction of this sewer at the present time. The total 1990 population of North Andover was 22,792 people. I Approximately 13,165 people were served by the community sewer system in 1987, while the remaining residents have on-site disposal systems. DEFINITIONS Infiltration - The water entering a sewer system and/or service laterals as a result of the presencc of groundwater, through such means as, but not limited to, defective pipe joints, failed pipe sections, connections, or manhole walls. Infiltration does not include,. and i; distinguished from, inflow. Inflow - The water discharged into a sewer system as a result of a rainfall event. Inflow does not include, and is distinguished from, infiltration. Direct Inflow - The portion of inflow attributed to those inflow sources or sewer system defects which immediately discharge runoff into the sewer system from definable drainage areas. Examples of direct inflow sources include roof drain leaders, catch basin connections, yard and area drain connections, and runoff entry through manhole covers. The effect of direct inflow usually begins immediately follow, S, the commencement of a rain event and recedes shortly after the conclusion of rainfall. Indirect Inflow - That portion of inflow which is attributable to those inflow sources or sewer system defects which contribute extraneous clear water as a result of precipitation - water and groundwater levels. Indirect inflow induced, short-term increases in soil mo normally is evident well after the cessation of rainfall and is usually (but not always) most evident during periods of high groundwater and precipitation. Examples of indirect inflow sources include sump pump or foundation drain connections to sewers and rain -induced infiltration sources. Peak Inflow - This component is the peak rate of stormwater that could be discharged to a sewer. It is calculated by taking the greatest hourly difference in flow between the wet day and the dry day and adjusting this value to a standard design storm. The adjustment is performed by multiplying the ratio of the peak hour rainfall of the standard storm (0.87 inches per hour) to the peak hour rainfall of the measured storm times the peak inflow due to the measured storm. Total Inflow - This component is the total value of stotmwater that could be discharged to a sewer. It is calculated by taking the wet day hydrogTaph, superimposing it on the dry day hydrograph, and calculating the area between where the two curves intersect following the rainstorm.. This value is then adjusted to the standard one-year. six hour stom) of 1.72 inches by multiplying the ratio of the standard storm to the total rainfall of the measured stor-m times the total inflow due to the measured storm. NORTH ANDOVER 1/1: SSES PROGRAM V111 I SECTION VIII RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REHABILITATION AND REPAIR GENERAL This section summarizes the recommendations for rehabilitation and repair to reduce I/I within the sewer system, based on the Infiltration/Inflow Analysis and the Phase I & II Sewer System Evaluation Surveys previously discussed. The recommendations of this report identify specific rehabilitation recommendations for the elimination of infiltration and inflow, and identify areas where additional study is required. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INFILTRATION REMOVAL The continuous metering program performed as part of this study resulted in the quantification of infiltration in metered areas. The amount of high groundwater infiltration entering individual sewer sections was quantified in the flow isolation program as presented in Table 4-5. A cost- effectiveness analysis for ±1,000 foot sewer segments was performed in Section V to determine those segments eligible for cleaning and television inspection. A final cost-effectiveness analysis was then performed in Section VII to determine which manholes and pipeline segments are cost- effective for rehabilitation based on the cost to transport and treat the infiltration, in comparison with the eventual cost of repairing or replacing the sewer. In accordance with DEP guidelines, the cost-effectiveness analysis was performed on individual manholes and sewer segments. This analysis was presented in Tables 7-9 through 7-12. Pipeline segments and manholes eligible for rehabilitation to remove approximately 411,000 gpd of infiltration are shown in Tables 8-1 and 8-2. Pipeline segments and manholes ineligible for rehabilitation in accordance with DEP guidelines, but recommended for repair contribute approximately 115,000 gpd of infiltration, and are also shown in Tables 8-1 and 8-2. Table 8-3 shows those manholes requiring preventive maintenance to prevent future infiltration problems. NORTH ANDOVER 1/1: SSES PR0GRAM V111 - 2 The following is a summary of the estimated project costs to remove infiltration: " "" t-nin Elii Pipeline Rehabilitation $819,000 Pipeline Rehabilitation Eligible Manhole Rehabilitation $10,000 Ineligible Manhole Preventative Maintenance $1990,000 Eligible $201,000 Ineligible The above estimated project costs include a 30% engineering and contingency fee.

These inflow sources are estimated to be contributing in the range of 3,336,310 to 5,126,330 gpd of inflow to the sewer system during the DEP design storm. Table 8-4 provides a Summary Table of Inflow Sources. Tables 8-5 through 8-10 provide more detailed information on confirmed and suspect inflow sources. Private Inflow Source Removal Based on the results of the Phase I and II SSES Investigations, it was determined that private inflow sources are the major (approximately 83%) contributor of inflow to North Andover's wastewater collection system. For this reason, we have identified recommendations to perform both private and public inflow source removal. By concentrating on private inflow source identification and removal, the Town should realize the greatest benefit in ter -ms of ultimate inflow reduction. The recommended private inflow source removal program consists of: NORTH ANDOVER I/I: SSES PROGRAM 1. Dyed water testing of all internal and external private inflow sources identified to date within meter areas 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, and 17 (approximately 147 sites); 2. A House to House Survey covering the homes not entered during the initial House to House investigations; and 3. Redirection of private inflow sources connected to the sewer system. There are 706 confirmed private inflow sources which includes driveway drains, roof leaders, sump pumps, open cleanout/pipe floor drains, perimeter drains and stairwell drains. These private inflow sources are estimated to be contributing in the range of 1, 145,570 to 2,118,070 gpd of inflow to the system. A list of these connections is provided in Appendix K and are summarized in Table 8-4. Approximately 147 sites within the above mentioned areas contain potential internal and external private inflow sources. The areas to be dyed tested during a low groundwater period are listed in Appendix K. These potential private inflow sources are estimated to contribute in the range of 1,581,280 to 2,254,800 gpd of inflow to the system. Projecting the number of confirmed sources identified during the first phase of the House to House survey, as many as 230 inflow sources could be confirmed to be connected to the sewer by performing the second phase House to House survey. If this estimate is correct, neglecting access to these buildings would leave a significant amount of inflow in the sewer system (approximately 990,000 gpd). Public Inflow Source Removal The recommended public inflow source removal program will consist of the repair of all manholes and other direct and indirect sources identified during the Phase I and II SSES investigations and found to be contributing excessive quantities of inflow to North Andover's sewer system. These sources include manhole repairs and catch basin redirection which are summarized in Table 8-4 and are estimated to contribute approximately 574,000 gpd of inflow to the system. Tables 8-5 through 8-7 along with Table 8-10 further identify the manholes contributing inflow. These manholes are shown in figures 7-12 through 7-34. NORTH ANDOVER 1/1: SSSS PROGRAM V111 - 6 Catch basins that are directly connected to the sewer system are listed in Table 6-3 and are shown in Appendix L. ESTIMATED INFLOW REMOVAL PROJECT COSTS Dyed Water Testing The estimated cost to perform dyed water testing is $25,000. This cost is based on testing a total of 147 sites. This work should be performed during the low groundwater period, approximately July 1 and November 15. House to House Survey (Second Phase) The cost of this project is estimated to be $25,000. This work is based on a survey of 574 homes. The cost assumes two attempts at entry. (An appointment card will be left at homes in which first entry was not successful). If the home is not entered after the second attempt, we recommend that the Town use its legal authority to enter and inspect the home. This survey should be performed before the sump pump redirection program begins. Sump Pump Redirection An accurate cost of the sump pump redirection program is difficult to estimate at this time since the cost of redirecting each source is site specific. An average cost per building is estimated to be $5,000. This cost does not include dye water testing and removal of other private sources at these locations. As a result, a preliminary estimate of the cost to remove 76 sump pumps is $380,000. Since this project is not eligible for state funding, the Town must either require the homeowner to perform the work, or the Town must develop and implement its own removal program along with options for funding the work. Manhole Rehabilitation The rehabilitation cost is estimated to be $301,000 based on $107,750 for those manholes found eligible under the C/E/A (Table 8-6) and $193,250 for manholes requiring preventive maintenance (Tables 8-6 and 8-10). NORTH ANDOVER I/t: SSES PROGRAM Vill - 7 Redirection of Catch Basins An accurate cost of redirection of catch basins is difficult to estimate at this time, since the cost of redirecting each source is site specific and would require a review of the towns drainage system.

Project Description 1. Project Objectives The objective of this project is to continue the town's ongoing study of its existing sewer system to eliminate and or reduce infiltration and inflows. 2. The general project area is in the northwesterly part of the town. The town had previously been divided into sub -areas during the 1990 sewer survey. The sub -areas can be seen on the attached plan. (See Appendix A.) Based on conversations with the DEP, it has been determined that the following sub -areas are eligible for additional study: Sub -areas: 8, 21, 5, 10, 7, 22, 4, 18. These sub -areas were chosen because of the infiltration rates determined in the 1990 study. All of the sub -areas have infiltration rates between 2,000 gallons per inch diameter per mile and 5,000 gallons per inch diameter per mile. The attached Master Plan for a sewer rehabilitation program dated November 1997 describes the various tasks that would be performed by the town in this current evaluation survey.(See Appendix B) Certain of the tasks are considered not eligible for the state loan program and due to this reason and the need to take advantage of the wet season, this work will be initiated in the early winter of 1998. These tasks include flow metering, flow isolation, manhole inspections, TV inspection phase 1 and TV analysis phase 1. The following tasks are to be included in the loan applications: house-to-house inspection, smoke testing, dye water testing, private inflow program, development, and -� SSES report phase 1. Also TV inspection phase 2, TV analysis phase 2, and SSES report phase 2. These tasks are shown graphically on the attached chart called Sewer Rehabilitation Cost Schedule.(See Appendix C) ri s',02431 13.iruiarr l W Project Evaluation.Criteria Environmental Criteria In the past there has been a water quality problem due to sewage overflow both in the Merrimack River watershed and in the Shawsheen Ri%er watershed. This project is, geared toward identifying sources of infiltration/inflow throughout the watershed, and to provide a vehicle for the town to adopt design and construction projects that will eliminate the overflows and mitigate this risk to the public health. 1. This project will be an important vehicle to eliminate existing risk to the public health. a. The project is vitally important to help restore the public's confidence in their watershed since the prime source of pollution presently existing is the overflows which occur periodically in various locations through the town. The proposed SSES is the prime vehicle for dealing with a sewer inflow/infiltration problem. b. The problems placed on the public by the overflows impact not only he town of North Andover, population of 24,500, but also the city of Lawrence (population 63,000) which abuts the Merrimack River, and all other communities down river. C. Sewer surcharging has been documented in the town in the past and this project will definitely help to alleviate that problem. 2. The following paragraphs deal with the severity of the environmental problem that the project will address. a. There is no known listing of parameters showing the severity of the water quality problem. b. To the best of our knowledge, the two rivers impacted by this project are not on the Commonwealth's 303 List. C, We feel that the two bodies of water cannot meet water quality standards at all times due to the sewage overflows. d. The Merrimack River is a significant public recreational source. The river not only serves as a source of recreation but empties into the prime fishing area around Newburyport. 02111 13 srinarr_' doc 7 4 I 4 E _s "[-he present system which allows for periodic se\\a e overflows does ha�(: an adverse impact on living resources since it affects fishing in the Merrimack River and at the mouth of the Merrimack at Newburyport. f The existing situation does affect other environmental resources and if the water quality in the Merrimack River could be Improved, then the river would be available for greater recreational use. 3. The project will have demonstrable water quality benefits which will effectively address the environmental problems. a. The LGU is the Town of North Andover, Department of Public Works. This department has been working for some years now to correct the overloaded situation in the sewer system. Their work to date includes two construction projects both funded thru the State Loan Program. They are committed to continue until the problem is completely taken care of. b. The project will reduce and should eliminate the overflows which presently occur periodically. C. By eliminating the overflows, the project will restore the two rivers impacted to their designated use. d. The project by eliminating overflows in the sewer system will protect the bodies of water for use as water supplies by other downstream communities. 4. This project is needed to comply with state directives concerning elimination of existing overflows. a. This situation dates backs to 1979 when the Mass Division of Water Pollution Control issued an order against the town requiring the town to eliminate the sewage overflows presently existing. Since that time, the town has been striving to comply with that Order, and this proposed project is a continuation of that effort. (See 1993 DEP correspondance relative to overflows in Sutton St. in Appendix D) b. The proposed project is an important element to the town's compliance with the state requirement that they eliminate the periodic sewage overflows. C. The facilities that will be constructed as a result of the studies conducted under this project %gill be an important element in eliminating the overflows that are presently plaguing the town. (See memo of 4/3/97 meeting w/DEP in Appendix.E) n_� � I 11'Sr�narr_' nuc d. Theroects i P ) n the past have proven to be effective in reducing or eliminating infiltration inflows. It is anticipated that this project will continue that effort. B. Program and Implementation Criteria 1. The project will effectively address a watershed priority. Please see the attached memorandum of a recent meeting of the Shawsheen River watershed Association which identified the overflow that occurs on Glenwood St. as a prime concern to that body. (Appendix F) 2. Theroject p � will lead to the development of future construction projects which will be consistent with the local and regional growth and infrastructure revitalization. 3. The project will not be a multi -community or regional project. 4. The project will utilize DEP approved innovative alternative technology insofar as they are available to rehabilitate the sewer. Some recent developments that may be used includes insertable sleeves to stop isolated leaks and in-situ lining in short sections of pipe which has made this technology more cost effective for use. 5. The town of North Andover has a sewer user P charee system in lace. .. Y C. Threshold Criteria 1. The capacity to be provided by this project will not duplicate other existing capacity available in the region. 2. The only impacts that this project would have would impact in the sewer itself. Since the majority of the sewage is treated at the GLSD, the negative impacts should be very minor. Any negative impacts might include traffic disruption during the construction process and/or noise impacts. s 02431 13'srInarr' Flu -1; 4 (A I-TACl1MENT -1.0 AMC:NI)Mf:\ I' NU. M) TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER SEWER REHABILITATION PROGRAM MASTER PLAN Sewer System Evaluation Survey 1. Flow Metering When sewage flow measurements were previously completed in 1989-90, there were some metering stations where surcharges occurred, thus preventing accurate measurements at times of peak flow. In a number of instances, the undersized pipes that led to those surcharges (Sutton St. and No. Main St.) have been replaced so that accurate metering can now be obtained. In addition, metering will be conducted in other areas that were metered before to obtain a gauge as to how effective the work that has been completed to date has been. This is always a difficult answer to come up with since the flow in the sewers from year to year will vary depending on the groundwater level, the amount of rainfall that particular year, whether construction has taken place in the area, and a number of other factors. However, a comparison of the new metering flows with the old should give some indication of a downward trend in extraneous flows in the sewer system. Flow metering must be conducted during periods of high ground water to produce meaningful results. Many of the activities which follow in the Sewer System Evaluation Survey will be based on the results of this metering. For the above stated reasons, the flow metering is scheduled to be conducted during March and April of calendar year 1998. Standard practice in the industry is to measure for 8 consecutive weeks. This not only ensures that the highest infiltration flows in the year will be captured but also ensures that a few heavy rainfall events will be included in the measurements taken. s:\02431.13 mstpin 10 doc Estimated Locations Estimated Cost per Location Estimated Total Cost 12 $4,800 $57.600 TOTAL 12 - $57,600 s:\02431.13 mstpin 10 doc 2. Flow Isolation During the 1990 sewer study the existing sewerage system %> as di\ ided in to 21 sub areas for purposes of detailed investigation and cost effectiveness analysis. The sub areas with the highest rates of infiltration were approved for further investigation. The criteria used at that time was established by the State DEP as 5,000 gal/inch-diaimile of sewer. The measured infiltration rates in 8 sub -areas exceeded that standard. The other 13 sub -areas were not studied any further. Since the previous study the state has revised their thinking and have lowered their recommendation for this important standard to 2,000 gal./inch-dia/inile of sewer. This may be due in part to the long term impact that infiltration has on the budget of the community. For this reason it will be possible in this study to undertake flow isolation field work simultaneously with the metering. This saves a year in the overall study process. The areas to be flow isolated in this study have been selected based on the infiltration rates documented in the prior study. Accordingly , 8 areas will be flow isolated to determine the actual rates in each manhole to manhole stretch. Flow isolation involves the actual measurement of the infiltration in a manhole to manhole stretch of sewer. The measurement is made between the hours of 12 midnight and 5 a.m. when almost all the flow should be unwanted groundwater. Flow isolation is done at night during high water periods, such as in March. April and May. The flow is accurately measured and recorded and compared with the length of the particular sewer with all other sources being subtracted. The results of the flow isolation provide the basis for follow-up calculations as to whether it is economically feasible to continue to investigate that particular section of the sewer. 2. x:\02431.13\nutpl n 10,doc Estimated Pipe Length (feet) Estimated Cost per Foot of Pipe Estimated Total Cost 120,000 $0.31 $37,200 TOTAL 120,000 - $37,200 2. x:\02431.13\nutpl n 10,doc 3. Manhole Inspection Manhole inspection is as it sounds, the inspection of each manhole during the flow isolation process. The inspection of manholes leads to a conclusion as to the soundness of each manhole. should it be rehabilitated, or should it be replaced. A surprisingly large quantity of water can get into the sewer system through the manholes. 4. TV Inspection Those sewers that have been identified through the flow isolation process as having high flows and being cost effective for further investigation, will be cleaned and TV'd in this phase of the study. Based on the results of prior studies of this type it has been estimated that approximately 50% of the sewers which are flow isolated in Phase 2 will be deemed eligible for cleaning and Tving based on a cost effectiveness analysis. The cleaning, which is considered light cleaning in the industry, is merely to be sure that the TV camera will not get stuck in the pipe. After cleaning, the camera is pulled from manhole to manhole and the exact source of the unwanted water is documented. The information gathered in the internal inspection process leads to identification of the methods that might best be used to reduce or eliminate the unwanted water. The determination made here provides the basis for the subsequent design and construction contracts. In order to obtain reliable and usable results the internal inspection must be accomplished during a period of high ground water flow similar to when the flow isolation results were made. This usually means that the TV inspection is conducted about a year after the flow isolation, so that both activities were conducted during periods of high groundwater. However in this case the internal inspection will be divided into 2 phases so that some of the work can proceed earlier and not have to wait for the other section to be readied. Phase 1 Phase one of the internal inspection program involves the reexamination of certain sewers which were previously examined at a time which was later determined to be outside of the high ground water season. 002431.13�mstpIn 10 doc Estimated Number of Manholes Estimated Cost per Manhole Estimated Total Cost 574 $50 $28,700 TOTAL 574 - $28,700 4.

Television Analysis Once the information from internal inspection is collected, a cost effective analysis is completed to determine if it is worthwhile to pursue the elimination of flow from each particular sewer line. The cost effective analysis compares the cost of eliminating the flow vs. the cost of continuing to maintain the flow in the system and to the treatment process. i.e. For small flows it may be more economical to continue to pay the treatment cost at GLSD rather than try to seal or replace the leaking pipes to eliminate the flow.

House -to -House Survey During a prior study in 1990. 1,475 houses on the sewer system were investigated. Of' these, 839 were found or suspected of having sources of unwanted inflow to the municipal sewer system. 700 of these were confirmed. 139 require additional investigation. While some of these sources may have been eliminated by the homeowner, a total of 2,574 houses remain to be investigated. This work is scheduled for the spring of 1998. See additional discussion further on in this document. 7. Smoke Testing Smoke Testing is conducted to uncover sources of unwanted water in the sewer system. The sources can be: Catch basins directly connected to the sewer; Drainage pipes discharging to the sewer due to their close proximity of the pipes: Roof leaders connected to the house plumbing; Cellar floor drains directly connected to the sewer, and many others. The sources of unwanted water determined from smoke testing can be significant in terms of the quantity of water which can be eliminated. This task must be completed when the ground water levels are at their lowest to get the best results.

The extraneous flows that come from private connections in the homes rob the town of critically needed capacity at the worst time of year. The removal of these flows will (1) eliminate public health hazards due to overflows in the town and (2) provide capacity in the system that may be utilized for new developments which will expand the community tax base. The program will include a three -prong approach: 1. Those corrections that will be made by the public spirited residents as a result of a public information program. 2.

Our West Side Trunk Sewer has a history of periodic overflows during heavy rain events caused by extraneous groundwater entering the system. Based on the recommendations of a Sewer System Evaluation Survey we have been focusing our efforts on eliminating the overflow problem by the appropriation of funds for construction of rehabilitation projects which remove groundwater infiltration and rainwater inflow. The removal program has been successful but it has not eliminated the problem. In addition to that ongoing program, we are requesting funds in this years capital budget to design and construct a West Side Truck Relief Sewer which will add the necessary capacity to eliminate our overflow problems. We anticipate that it will take over 2 years to design and build the project. In the interim, we expect that periodic overflows will continue. We have analyzed our system for internal solutions however because of the configuration of the West Side Trunk Sewer a by pass pump set up within North Andover would require pumping a distance of over a mile. Our search for other alternatives brings us to the solution which we are now proposing. We are requesting your approval to set up a pumping system which will remove flow from our Trunk Sewer on an as needed basis and discharge it into the Shawsheen River interceptor which carries flow from Andover and So. Lawrence to G.L.S.D. The basic system would include approximately 500 feet of 8 inch pipe, a pump with a capacity of approximately 3000 gallons per minute or 4 M.G.D. and a flow meter. The pump would be set up at our sewer manhole near the ramp from Rt. 495 and the discharge line would be buried in the sidewalk along Mass. Ave in North Andover across the Shawsheen river bridge and along the grass area to the sewer manhole in Lawrence located approximately 100 feet north of Loring Street. The bypass piping would remain in place until construction of the new West Side sewer is completed. The pump would be towed to the site, be continuously manned, and only remain in place for the duration of rain events which may cause overflows in our system. Based on our recent experience, a storm intensity of 1 1/2 inches will cause an overflow. The problem has historically occurred in March and April. The system will be equipped with an Ultrasonic flow meter for accurately gauging the flow. We expect that your personnel would participate in the calibration of the meter and verification of the discharge flow. I have discussed the proposed bypass and metering system with Richard Hogan at G.L.S.D. and subject to your written confirmation he is amenable to using our pumping records to make a monthly adjustment in G.L.S.D. records which reallocates the flow into Lawrence back to North Andover. I have also consulted with Bob McQuade in Andover regarding the By Pass Pumping and he has verbally approved of the proposal subject to submittal of final plans. I believe that I have outlined the generalities of our proposal. If you require more specific information or have any questions please advise. Thank you for the support you have already provided and your prompt response to my initial request. Very trul yours, J. William Hmu ciak P.E. Director of Public Works JWH:bkc cc: Robert J.

Project Description 1. Project Objectives The objective of this project is to provide a relief sewer for the existing Westside Interceptor that will eliminate the periodic overflows that presently occur in this area. 2. The general project area is in the northwesterly part of the town. The project will be located as indicated on the attached map, in close proximity to the Shawsheen River, the Merrimac River, and the Lawrence/North Andover boundary. r In November 1997, the Department of Public Works of the Town of North Andover prepared a 5 year Master Plan of capital projects to address the sewerage needs of the community. One of the items listed in that Plan was the design and construction of a new Westside Interceptor to supplement the existing interceptor. The original schedule for this particular item was to be brought to the 1999 Town Meeting and this action would be followed by design and construction in 1999, 2000, and completion in 2001. Since the preparation of the Master Plan in November, a number of sewage overflows have occurred at the intersection of Glenwood Street and Shawsheen Avenue. Shawsheen Avenue is located approximately 100 feet from the Shawsheen River. Each time there is an overflow, the sewage flows directly into the river. As a result of the overflows, the town of North Andover Conservation Commission has issued a Cease and Desist Order to the Department of Public Works under the Wetlands Protection Act.(Copy attached in Appendix D). Furthermore it is believed that the DEP will soon be issuing an order relative to this situation. The layout of the relief interceptor is indicated on the attached Figure (See Appendix A). The town is presently in the process of authorizing a small study to confirm that the proposed layout is the most cost-effective approach for the town. This study will examine such things as alternate routes, pumping alternative, and will refine the cost of the proposed selected alternative. s:\02431.13\pefwests\narrativ.doc 11. Project Evaluation Criteria A. Environmental Criteria For some time now there has been periodic overflows of se%�age to the Shawsheen River %�atershed and thence to the Merrimac Riper. During recent months. the overflows seem to have accelerated to the point where they have been identified as a critical problem for the community. This project is geared to eliminating the overflo x by constructing a parallel interceptor that will provide the additional capacity needed to handle these flows. 1. This project will be an important instrument to eliminate existing risk to the public health. a. The project is needed to restore the public watershed to its original condition. The town is convinced that because of the volume of the overflow, a parallel interceptor is the only logical answer to this situation b. The impacts to the public health extend not only throughout the town of North Andover, which has a population of 24,500, but also to the adjoining city of Lawrence, population 63,000. This situation is a direct pollution to the Shawsheen River and then the Merrimac River, which affects many other communities downriver. (See attached newspaper article dated Feb. 5. 1998 in Appendix E). C. The project will definitely eliminate the overtlo,,vs that are presently occurring, and will be a vast improvement to the public health. The manhole that overflows is located at the end of a dead end street approximately 20 feet from a house. (See above referenced newspaper article). 2. The following paragraphs deal with the severity of the environmental problem that the project will address. a. There is no known listing of parameters showing the severity of the water quality problem. b. To the best of our knowledge, the two rivers impacted by this project are not on the Common�vealth's 303 List. C. We feel that the two bodies of water cannot meet ,pater quality standards at all times due to the sewage overflows. d. The Merrimack River is a significant public recreational source. The river not only serves as a source of recreation but empties into the prime fishing area around Newburyport. 00243 1.13\pe fwestslnarra6v.doc e. The present system which allows for periodic sewage overflows does have an adverse impact on living resources since it affects fishing in the Merrimack River and at the mouth of the Merrimack at tiewburyport. f. The existing situation does affect other environmental resources and if the water quality in the Merrimack River could be improved, then the river would be available for greater recreational use. 3. The project will have demonstrable water quality benefits which will effectively address the environmental problems. a. The LGU is the Town of North Andover, Department of Public Works. This department has been working for some years now to correct the overloaded situation in the sewer system. Their work to date includes two construction projects both funded through the State Loan Program. They are committed to continue until the problem is completely taken care of. b. This project will eliminate the overflows which presently occur. C. By eliminating the overflows, the project will restore the two rivers impacted to their designated use. d. The project by eliminating overflows in the sewer system will protect the bodies of water for use as water supplies by other downstream communities. 4. This project is needed to comply with state directives concerning elimination of existing overflows. a. This situation dates backs to 1979 when the Mass Division of Water Pollution Control issued an order against the town requiring the town to eliminate the sewage overflows presently existing. Since that time, the town has been striving to comply with that Order. and this proposed project is a continuation of that effort. (See 1993 DEP correspondence relative to overflows in Sutton St. in Appendix F) b. The proposed project is an important element to the town's compliance with the state requirement that they eliminate the periodic sewage overflows. C. The sewers to be constructed under this project will eliminate the overflow that is presently plaguing the town. (See memo of 4/3%97 meeting w/DEP in Appendix G) s:\02431.13\pe fwests\narranv.doc d. The project will be 100°1,) effective in ehrnInating the sc"a1,'c OVertlow at the end of Glenwood St. B. Program and Implementation Criteria 1. The project will effectively address a watershed priorit%. Please see the attached memorandum of a recent meeting of the Shawsheen Rig er Watershed Association which identified the overflow that occurs on Glenwood St. as a prime concern to that body. (Appendix H) 2. The project will allow for the development of future projects which will be ' consistent with the local and regional growth and infrastructure revitalization. (See Cease and Desist Order issued by the Town Conservation Commission on Feb. 5, 1998)(Appendix D) 3. The project will not be a multi -community or regional project. 4. The project will utilize DEP approved innovative alternative technology insofar as they are applicable to the project. 5. The town of North Andover has a sewer user charge system in place. C. Threshold Criteria 1. The capacity to be provided by this project will not duplicate other existing capacity available in the region. 2. The only negative impacts that this project will have are related to the impacts resulting from construction operations in residential streets. Impacts such as noise ,dust, traffic detours etc. during construction can be anticipated. s:\02431.13\pefwests\narrativ.doc 4 APPENDIX A LOCUS PLAN 4 -1 e •-.?ice^ _.II^7 ' 13 1/ A I� 't N_Iz TdA�K•SI 47 ti • se cj.�, •a rP :.\.6 6V 75 :7 17 '/ "� l- •C d?1 ... .I3 V � III 4a /,V �� v'tIN17 uId 71 SI 3 da " ^ 11' .. 16 � r.� .J ]• ._ :S .—_-6 __ __.n_. _, .. .•>D II .' -3 .Y QCT .

SSES work is performed in areas of the sewer system identified in the 19 Analysis as having possibly excessive III rates. The areas of the sewer system where the various SSES tasks were performed include meter areas 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17. The following tasks were performed as part of the North Andover SSES: 1. Flow Isolation (See Section IV) 2. Extensive Manhole Inspections 3. House to House Survey 4. Smoke Testing 5. Dyed Water Testing 6. Preparatory Cleaning and Internal Television Inspection EXTENSIVE MANHOLE INSPECTIONS DEP guidelines state that meter areas found during the III investigations to be experiencing infiltration rates greater than 5,000 GPDIM or meter areas which accounted for 80 percent of the total inflow in the system be recommended for an "Extensive Manhole Inspection" program. LEA recommended meter areas 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 for manhole inspections. As part of the Sewer System Evaluation Survey, LEA performed a visual inspection of every accessible manhole in 14 of the 24 meter areas in North Andover's wastewater collection system. These visual inspections were performed in May and June of 1990. Approximately 1,045 manholes were inspected. The purpose of the inspections was to identify specific problems or defects in the manholes and adjacent pipelines. Specifically, the inspectors were interested in problems which would allow infiltration or inflow into the sanitary sewer, problems which would hinder proper operation of the sewer system, and problems of structural integrity. 0.

The inspectors approached the dwellings at the main entry and identified themselves and their purpose to the occupant. Each inspector carried a letter of authorization and a photo identification badge. If allowed entry, the inspector investigated both the internal plumbing and the external grounds immediately surrounding the dwelling and made a note of visible potential inflow sources on an inspection sheet. The following information was recorded where applicable. 1. Frequency of basement flooding; 2. Location of sewer service and cleanout cap; 3. Use of sump pump and discharge location; 4. Use of cleanout to drain basement; 5. Location of basement, area or foundation drains and discharge location; 6. Number of roof leaders and discharge location; 7. Any plumbing problems that may discharge clean water, 8. Cooling water discharge location and discharge rate; and 9. Knowledge of inflow sources in street or area. Inspections were conducted only if the owner of the dwelling or an adult tenant (older than 18 years) was present. Whenever access to the building was not achieved, the inspector left an appointment card and a second call to complete the inspection was made after 4:00 p.m. or on a Saturday. If entry was refused, no further attempt to inspect the building was made. The house to house survey identified 76 sump pumps, 304 open cleanouts, 261 open pipes, 42 floor basement drains, 4 perimeter drains, 4 driveway drains, 6 roof leaders, 3 stairwell drains discharging to the sanitary sewer. Table 6-1 provides a house to house survey summary by meter area. A listing of residences with positive or suspect sources located during the survey are included in Appendix K II� and are shown in Figures 6-2 through 6-12. All the information gathered from the survey was recorded on a standard Building Plumbing Survey inspector sheet. A blank inspection sheet is shown as Figure 6-1. Completed inspection sheets for each building are included under separate cover, entitled "Building Plumbing Survey 1990", (See Appendix J) by Titibe Environmental Consultants. The information collected in the inspection sheets was tabulated and summarized by meter area. Approximately 75% of the 2319 buildings investigated for inflow were entered and inspected by LEA's subcontractor, Titibe Environmental Consultants, a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE). A total of 574 residences were not inspected during the survey and are listed in Appendix I. 7= NORTH ANDOVER I/1: SSES PROGRAM VIII 7 TABLE 8-4 SUMMARY TABLE OF INFLOW SOURCES CONFIRMED SOURCES TYPE NUMBEROFSOURCES INFLOW (GPD) PUBLIC Manholes 512 296,140 Catchbasins 5 277,320 'otaTofuie� Pbrc.Sourcs 5736(I PRIVATE Driveway Drains 6 65,160 - 93,960 Roof Leaders 10 158,710 - 201,910 Sump Pumps 76 328,300 - 643,000 Open Cleanout/Pipe 565 406,800 - 813,600 Floor Drain 42 181,500 - 355,400 Perimeter Drain 4 2,900 - 5,800 Stairwell Drains 3 2,200 - 4,400 Tota]ifi�medPnaterce :..: 7£6 :>...

OF PRIVA I'[: INFLOW FROM THE MUNICIPAL SEWER SYSTEM IN THE TOWN Objective The objective of the program is to provide for the removal of all devices and fixtures which allow for inflow to be entered into the town sewer system. The extraneous flows that come from private connections in the homes rob the town of critically needed capacity at the worst time of year. The removal of these flows will (1) eliminate public health hazards due to overflows in the town and (2) provide capacity in the system that may be utilized for new developments which will expand the community tax base. The program will be a three -prong approach: 1. Those corrections that will be made by the public spirited residents as a result of a public information program. 2. Those improvements that will be made in conjunction with the town as a result of public information and town guidance. 3. Those improvements that will be made in the homes as a result of enforcement action taken by the town. Phase 1 - Public Information and Awareness Prepare a public information program to inform the residents of the town as to the reasons why they should take it upon themselves to correct illegal inflow situations by the following methods: • Sewer System Awareness Week - Have the Selectmen, at a much publicized meeting, adopt a resolution establishing a week whereby the citizens of the Town of North Andover will be made aware of the need to take corrective action on illegal connections to the sewer system. • Adopt a Slogan - One of the first tasks of the Study will be to establish a slogan that will be used throughout the Study that will become known to the residents and will allow them to link any literature containing the slogan to the public relations campaign so that all residents will become supersensitive to the need to correct inflow in their sewer system. • Student Awareness - Develop a circular to be handed out to pupils in the school system on this subject and offer to conduct presentations for selected student groups throughout the town. • Prepare Ad for Cable Television 002431,13\mstpIn I O.doc • Conduct contest for the pertion who undertakes the tuuahcst task to cliniinate an inflow situation. Phase 2 - Onsite Interviews 1. Examine and conduct an interior inspection of homes in those ne\� areas that have been identified for investigative study for illegal inflow connections. 2. Conduct an engineering inspection of homes previously identified as having illegal inflow sources to prepare a summary of alternative methods that can be utilized by the homeowner to eliminate their problem. Phase 3 - Development of Innovative Systems to Eliminate Inflow 1. A laundry list of alternative methods to assist the homeowner in eliminating inflow will be developed. Some of these methods may require construction by the town in the town right-of-way. 2. Develop a plan to provide a betterment or a financial incentive to homeowners to eliminate their inflow sources. a sA02431 13' mstpin I O.doc Town of North Andover f NORTN , OFFICE OF ��Oatt``o Ie,�OL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND SERVICES ° .Iwo 30 School Street North Andover, Massachusetts 01845 � "�•-,Qo WILLIAM J. SCOTT 9SSACHUS�� Director MEMORANDUM DATE: March 9, 1998 TO: Distribution FROM: Board of Health RE: West Side Sewer Issues - Clarification On February 26, 1998 the North Andover Board of Health declared a public health emergency because of the ongoing discharges of raw sewage to the surface of the ground and to the Shawsheen River. The discharges have been coming from the West Side Sewer in the Glenwood Street area. In addition the Board voted that there should be no additional flows to the West Side Sewer until a short-term remedy to the problem has been achieved. It was not the intent of the Board of Health to stop currently -permitted construction, but to allow construction to continue up to the point of actually adding flow to the sewer line. However, all connections to the West Side Sewer must be approved by the Board of Health until such time as a long-term solution has been achieved. For additional clarification: • Construction of permitted projects may continue up to the point of turning on the water for any particular building. • Certificates of Occupancy should not be given for any building which will be connected to the West Side Sewer without Board of Health approval. • No new permits for connection to the West Side Sewer can be issued until the short-term solution has been made AND the Board of Health has approved the connection: BOARD OF APPEALS 688-9541 BUILDING 688-9545 CONSERVATION 688-9530 ✓ HEALTH 688-9540 PLANNING 688-9535 I UMITOF UABIUTY Submitting any film, print, slide or negative to this firm for processing, printing or other handling constitutes an AGREEMENT by you that any damages or loss by our company, subsidiary, or agents, even though due to the negligence or other fault of our company, subsidiary or agents, will only entitle you to replacemerh with a like amount of unexposed film and processing.

Halpin, Town Manager CC: John Giorgio, Esq., Bill Hmurciak, Gayton Osgood RE: Administrative Conference with DEP re. West Side Sewer Interceptor Town Counsel John Giorgio, Bill Hmuricak, Gayton Osgood and I met with representatives of the Mass. D.E.P. this morning to review and offer our comments regarding the proposed Consent Order governing the correction of the overflow condition at the Glenwood St. At the meeting we presented DEP with: ■ our plans to construct an emergency short term measure to manage the overflow condition during the time it takes to construct the long term solution. ■ plans to remove approximately 60,000 gallons of additional Inflow and Infiltration (I and 1) within the next 60 to 90 days. ■ the status of the current I and I contract which will identify the next round of I and I removal ■ plans to appropriate additional funding for I and I removal at the May 1998 ATM once the suspected additional sources are identified ■ our plans to appropriate the $365,000 to begin the design of the relief sewer this summer. With this report as the background the following represents a summary of the meeting: Schedule Under Which Town Will Proceed to Desiqn and Construct the Relief Sewer ■ Appropriation of Design Funds ($365,000) no later than May 15, 1988 Voice: 978.688.9510 FAX: 978.688.9556 E-mail: rhalpin@shore.net ■ Design Engineering to Commence No Later than September 15, 1998 (Field Survey and Preliminary Engineering required to support the design will be taking place over the summer months in advance of the actual design. ■ Appropriation of Construction Funding no later than May 15, 1999 ■ Construction to begin August 1, 1999 ■ Relief Sewer on line by December31, 2000 Merrimack College Town Manager will obtain more specific documentation of the projected flows from Merrimack College's new dormitory. DEP will likely require that Merrimack College explore measures/methods to mitigate or remove its added flow to the system. They will certainly want a certification from the Merrimack College that the have investigate any inflow sources from the college to the sewer and removed them. Another likely requirement may be a storage tank which allows for the short term storage of waste water during peak events and letting it out into the system after flows decrease. Thomson School/Stop and Shop Town Manager will obtain more specific documentation on the projected decrease in flows from these two projects and forward them to John Zajec. Other Outstanding Permits DEP was not clear on the wording but there will some provision in the order regarding the residential connection permits relative to certifying that measures have been taken to reduce or eliminate the impact of the additional flows. Short Term Measure Prior to approving the connection of our Short Term Measure to the Andover Interceptor DEP will want an engineering certification that sufficient capacity exists. I and I Bank DEP would not absolutely commit to a so-called "I and I Bank " whereby the Town would receive credit for portions of the actual I and I removals over the next several years to manage development as an alternative to a complete moratorium. The DEP did agree to create a framework whereby the Town could report its I and I results, overall performance under the consent decree, and overall success in controlling the overflow and, assuming that we are making above average progress on all front, provide some portion of the reduced flows through I and I as a "capacity bank" for connections during the construction of the relief sewer. It is unlikely, however, that any such credits will be granted until next fall's rainy season, however, since that would be the first opportunity to measure the success of our program.

The Board is hereby urging the Board of Selectmen to also declare an emergency for the G enwood Street and West Side Sewer area. In addition, the Board unanimously voted the following: • The Board of Health is requiring that the DPW issue no new sewer entrance permits to the West Side Sewer without Board of Health permission ONo additional sewer tie-ins will be allowed until a short-term solution has been completed that stops the problem of sewer discharges on Glenwood Street • The Board of Health will act as liaison agency for residents of the Glenwood Street area • The residents of that area will appoint one contact person for the group • Within the next two weeks the Board of Health will compile a complete list of all proposed short term and long term solutions to the problem along with a schedule of when the various projects will be started and completed. This will be provided to residents. • The Board of Health will contact Health Boards in neighboring communities if the cooperation of those communities is needed to resolve this problem. • The Board of Health will continue to monitor this situation until such time as the problem has been completely resolved and will report its findings to residents. • All information will be provided to residents will also be provided to the Merrimack River Watershed Council. The Board of Health believes that these measures are necessary to begin the solution of the long-term problems connected with the West Side Sewer and calls upon the Board of Selectmen and other town departments to work together in a spirit of cooperation to end this problem. The Board of Health is very willing to meet with the Board of Selectmen as needed to discuss these issues. , Sincerely, _40;;G Gayton Osgood, Chairman BOARD OF APPEALS 688-9541 BUILDING 688-9545 CONSERVATION 688-9530 HEALTH 688-9540 PLANNING 688-9535 Cc: R.

LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL UNIT: (Typed Name) Robert J. Halpin (Title) Town Manager (Signature) (Date) 061 SECTION 11 PROJECT NARRATIVE TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER WESTSIDE INTERCEPTOR PROJECT NARRATIVE (Attachment to 1998 Project Evaluation Form) r - I. Project Description 1. Project Objectives The objective of this project is to provide a relief sewer for the existing Westside Interceptor that will eliminate the periodic overflows that presently occur in this area. 2. The general project area is in the northwesterly part of the town. The project will be located as indicated on the attached map, in close proximity to the Shawsheen River, the Merrimac River, and the Lawrence/North Andover boundary. In November 1997, the Department of. .Public Works of the Town of North Andover prepared a 5 year Master Plan of capital projects to address the sewerage needs of the community. One of the items listed in that Plan was the design and construction of a new Westside Interceptor to supplement the existing interceptor. The original schedule for this particular item was to be brought to the 1999 Town Meeting and this action would be followed by design and construction in 1999, 2000, and completion in 2001. Since the preparation of the Master Plan in November, a number of sewage overflows have occurred at the intersection of Glenwood Street and Shawsheen Avenue. Shawsheen Avenue is located approximately 100 feet from the Shawsheen River. Each time there is an overflow, the sewage flows directly into the river. As a result of the overflows, the town of North Andover Conservation Commission has issued a Cease and Desist Order to the Department of Public Works under the Wetlands Protection Act.(Copy attached in Appendix D). Furthermore it is believed that the DEP will soon be issuing an order relative to this situation. The layout of the relief interceptor is indicated on the attached Figure (See Appendix A). The town is presently in the process of authorizing a small study to confirm that the proposed layout is the most cost-effective approach for the town. This studywill examine such things as alternate routes, pumping alternative, and will refine the cost of the proposed selected alternative. S:\02431.13\pefwests\narrativ.doc W 1. II. Project Evaluation Criteria A. Environmental Criteria For some time now there has been periodic overflows of sewage to the Shawsheen River watershed and thence to the Merrimac River. During recent months, the overflows seem to have accelerated to the point where they have been identified as a critical problem for the community. This project is geared to eliminating the overflow by constructing a parallel interceptor that will provide the additional capacity needed to handle these flows. 1. This project will be an important instrument to eliminate existing risk to the public health. a. The project is needed to restore the public watershed to its original condition. The town is convinced that because of the volume of the overflow, a parallel interceptor is the only logical answer to this situation b. The impacts to the public health extend not only throughout the town of North Andover, which has a population of 24,500, but also to the adjoining city of Lawrence, population 63,000. This situation is a direct pollution to the Shawsheen River and then the Merrimac River, which affects many other communities downriver. (See attached newspaper article dated Feb. 5, 1998 in Appendix E). C. The project will definitely eliminate the overflows that are presently occurring, and will be a vast improvement to the public health. The manhole that overflows is located at the end of a dead end street approximately 20 feet from a house. (See above referenced newspaper article). 2. The following paragraphs deal with the severity of the environmental problem that the project will address. a. There is no known listing of parameters showing the severity of the water quality problem. b. To the best of our knowledge, the two rivers impacted by this project are not on the Commonwealth's 303 List. C. We feel that the two bodies of water cannot meet water quality standards at all times due to the sewage overflows. d. The Merrimack River is a significant public recreational source. The river not only serves as a source of recreation but empties into the prime fishing area around Newburyport. s:\02431.13\pe fwests\narrativ. doc 0 e. The present system which allows for periodic sewage overflows does have an adverse impact on living resources since it affects fishing in the Merrimack River and at the mouth of the Merrimack at Newburyport. f. The existing situation does affect other environmental resources and if the water quality in the Merrimack River could be improved, then the river would be available for greater recreational use. 3. The project will have demonstrable water quality benefits which will effectively address the environmental problems. a. The LGU is the Town of North Andover, Department of Public Works. This department has been working for some years now to correct the overloaded situation in the sewer system. Their work to date includes two construction projects both funded through the State Loan Program. They are committed to continue until the problem is completely taken care of. b. This project will eliminate the overflows which presently occur. C. By eliminating the overflows, the project will restore the two rivers impacted to their designated use. d. The project by eliminating overflows in the sewer system will protect the bodies of water for use as water supplies by other downstream communities. 4. This project is needed to comply with state directives concerning elimination of existing overflows. a. This situation dates backs to 1979 when the Mass Division of Water Pollution Control issued an order against the town requiring the town to eliminate the sewage overflows presently existing. Since that time, the town has been striving to comply with that Order, and this proposed project is a continuation of that effort. (See 1993 DEP correspondence relative to overflows in Sutton St. in Appendix F) b. The proposed project is an important element to the town's compliance C .._ with the state requirement that they eliminate the periodic sewage overflows. C. The sewers to be constructed under this project will eliminate the overflow that is presently plaguing the town. (See memo of 4/3/97 meeting w/DEP in Appendix G) S:\02431.13\pefwests\narrativ.doc ki d. The project will be 100% effective in eliminating the sewage overflow at the end of Glenwood St. B. Program and Implementation Criteria 1. The project will effectively address a watershed priority. Please see the attached memorandum of a recent meeting of the Shawsheen River Watershed Association which identified the overflow that occurs on Glenwood St. as a prime concern to that body. (Appendix H) 2. The project will allow for the development of future projects which will be consistent with the local and regional growth and infrastructure revitalization. (See Cease and Desist Order issued by the Town Conservation Commission on Feb. 5, 1998)(Appendix D) 3. The project will not be a multi -community or regional project. 4. The project will utilize DEP approved innovative alternative technology insofar as they are applicable to the project. 5. The town of North Andover has a sewer user charge system in place. C. Threshold Criteria 1. The capacity to be provided by this project will not duplicate other existing capacity available in the region. 2. The only negative impacts that this project will have are related to the impacts resulting from construction operations in residential streets. Impacts such as noise ,dust, traffic detours etc. during construction can be anticipated. s:\02431.13\pefwests\narrativ.doc 9 APPENDIX A LOCUS PLAN F C L r 3 7 •�� J I 'tS moi'^'\lam i9 ..A �" N(; !;° {R , l T 47 •�C •9 S 19: ♦ i�'0} .-� ' ( 1 L 4 4 ra j I ]7 l 'a 5' 7 'l A, A'cNt r }. - �\� jay' ' ' S , �a . tv :10 Z, 101 J i D ,� 94.

Durek 1 Gentlemen: In response to the April 9, 1993 notice of non-compliance issued to the Town of North Andover for violation of M.G.L. c.21, s43(2); 314 CMR 3.03 (1); 314 CMR 12.07.(3); and 314 CMR 3.19 (20) (e) regarding discharge of pollutants, we are submitting the information requested by the Department in item No. 1 of the. Description of Action to be Taken Now. Enclosed for your review are copies of the plans and profiles of the East side trunk sewer from the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District interceptor along North Main Street, Sutton Street and the right of way toward High Street, and the plan for the collector sewer on Charles Street. Also enclosed is a portion of a 500 scale plan with numbered manholes showing the locus of the area of the discharge. The sewer surcharging problem began late in the morning on Monday March 29, 1993. Calls Were received from businesses on Charles Street. regarding their sewer back up. A crew was dispatched to the area to assess the situation. At that time, the sewer on Charles Street had backed up above the crown of the pipe at the end manhole. Further investigation revealed that the trunk sewer from the intersection of Sutton Street and Charles Street (No.81) to manhole No. 84 on North Main Street was flowing at full capacity. A mechanical rodding machine was used to attempt to determine if there was a blockage, however none was found. Page 2. As the flow increased during the afternoon sewage began to discharge from the rims of manholes 80, 81, 82 and 83. At that time the number of services backing up had expanded to other businesses and residences on Sutton Street. A pump was delivered r to the site and began pumping from manhole No -81 toward the catch basin nearby on the southerly side of Sutton Street. The pumping reduced the elevation of the surcharge enough to eliminate the flow out of all the manholes and considerably reduce flow in the services that were backing up. Later in the afternoon after calls for assistance three more pumps were added to control the increased flow and were set up at manholes No.81 and No.83. The four pumps reduced the elevation of the surcharge enough to eliminate back ups to all the residences and businesses. In the afternoon on Friday April 2, 1993, a fifth pump was temporarily added to the system to insure that the businesses would not be flooded again while the largest pump was moved from manhole No. 81 to manhole No -80. With the new pumping set up the flow from all pumps was then controlled with discharge hose, piping, and sand bags thereby eliminating any overland flow. The fire department then cleaned the entire area along Sutton Street and Charles Street. When the flow began to subside on April 5th, a mechanical rodding machine was used in the 15 inch sewer on Sutton -Street to clear any potential blockage. Later in the day a jet rodding machine was hired for use in the 15 inch and 18 inch pipe on Sutton Street to also clear any potential blockage however, no apparent change in flow occurred and no blockage was found. As a further effort we have tentatively scheduled to send a T.V. camera through the 15 inch pipe when the flow returns to normal. At approximately 5 P.M. on April 5th all pumps were shut down, and since then the sewer has flowed without serious surcharging. During the surcharging problem measurements were taken at various metering stations established during our I/I:SSES project. E There was a fairly uniform high rate of flow at all measured locations. The volume of flow apparently exceeded the capacity of -he 15 inch o_ce on Sutton Street. It is the first time that a discharge has occurred since prior to the replacement of a flat s�^ton of 15 inch sewer on North Main Street in 1976. As stated, c.:nducted to determine if cracking or settlement of the crown has reduced the pipe capacity. We are also Page 3. gathering flow and pipe capacity data to determine what steps need to be taken to prevent the reoccurrence of the problem. More specific information will be forth coming in response to Action No.2 in the Notice of Non-compliance. If you have any questions or require further information, please call.

This letter will serve as a follow-up to that previous correspondence. LEA Group, Inc., acting on behalf of the town, is responding to the actions outlined in paragraph 2 of the DEP's letter dated April 9. 1993. Since the spring of 1990, LEA Group has been conducting an UI:SSES program for the Town of North Andover. The results of that study have been summarized in report form and will he submitted to DEP for formal approval within two weeks. (Gus Swanyuist of the Boston office of DEP has already reviewed the recommended rehabilitation program.) Certain of these recommendations will impact the East Side Interceptor. The town has already appropriated the funds for the design of the 1/1 correction found to be cost effective in the study. This work will begin as soon as DEP approval is received on the report. Furthermore, the town has included a line item of $2.000,000.00 for sewer improvements in its 5 year Capital Improvement Program. An amount of $500,000.00 was appropriated on May 4, 1993 at the annual Town Mcc6n2 for the first phase of sewer repairs. In addition to the above activity. LEA will he assisting the town in the review of the design capacity of the East Side Interceptor. Also, scheduled is a TV inspection of certain•of the sewer kreaches which were surcharged. Once the TV inspection and the design capacity analysis is t _ complete, a determination will be made as to the necessity for any structural modifications to the East Side Interceptor. Accordingly, we submit the following schedule: 1. A.nnrorr;.aion !play -1. 1993 annual Town Mectin�_. 2. SSES report submitted to DEP by May 14, 1993. 3.

William Hmurciak, Director of Public Work DATE: December 3, 1997 RE: West Side Trunk Sewage Overflow Telephone (508) 685-0950 Fax (508) 688-9573 The periodic overflow problem on the West Side Sewer has a history which dates back to 1978. At that time residents of Glenwood Street met with the Board of Public Works to determine what could be done to alleviate an overflow problem from a sewer manhole near the Shawsheen River at the end of Glenwood Street. In the same year the Archdiocese of Boston applied for a sewer extension permit to connect the proposed housing project which now exists on Waverly Road to the Towns Sewerage System. The Board of Public Works recommended denial of the permit. In November of 1978 the Massachusetts Division of Water Pollution Control issued an order requiring the Town to effect measures to eliminate the sewage overflow by June 30, 1979. The State also granted the Archdiocese housing a connection permit conditioned by the removal of the extraneous groundwater flows from the West Side Trunk Sewer. Under order from D.W.P.C. and under threat of litigation by the Planning Office for Urban Affairs of the Archdiocese of Boston the Town eliminated enough extraneous flow to allow the connection of the housing and eliminate the surcharging problem. z A In 1987 the Division of Public Works recognized the need to establish a sewer system facilities plan to analyze town.%vide sewer issues as well as the current and future problem of surcharging of the West Side Trunk Sewer. Using town appropriations from FY 89 and FY 90 and State grant funds approved in September 1990 the town engaged the engineering services of LEA Guertin and Associates to perform a sewer system evaluation survey and Infiltration/Inflow Analysis. The final report for the survey was drafted in May 1993. The report evaluated the cost effectiveness of sewer system repairs and recommended the rehabilitation of 67,400 feet of sewer and 753 manholes in an initial phase of construction. The report identified capacity problems of the West Side trunk Sewer in the area from Greene Street at Waverly Road along the Shawsheen River and Sutton Street to the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District Interceptor. The average capacity of sewer segments in the overall length of the trunk sewer is approximately 4 million gallons per day. The average daily flow from the West Side Sewer measured at GLSD Meter 93 was 0.7 million gallons per day for the month of August, which is well within the pipes capacity. The average daily flow for the month of April was 2.78 million gallons per day. The higher flow is caused by extraneous water infiltration and inflow. The combination of peak daily sewage flow, peak infiltration caused by high groundwater, and peak rainwater inflow during a heavy rain event is what causes the flow in the sewer to exceed it's carrying capacity. Based on the recommendations in the Sewer System Evaluation Survey the town has to date appropriated $2,035,000.00 and either completed or awarded contracts for 1.5 million dollars for rehabilitation of the sewerage system. In addition $840,000.00 in funding will be requested from the Capital Improvement Program in FY 2000 and 2001 to continue I/I removal. The continued program includes funds for a study and preliminary design for a West Side Trunk Relief Sewer. Funding for the potential construction of that Sewer are currently a C.I.P. request for FY 2001. The ultimate goal is to eliminate the West Side Sewer problem by reducing infiltration/inflow and sewage volumes to within the pipes capacity or to provide reinforcements to the system to carry the existing and projected flows. The need for or timing of reinforcements will be determined by the success of the UI removal program. For your information, I have attached pertinent documents regarding the history and plans for the sewerage system. JWH/cs a Town of North Andover OFFICE OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND SERVICES 30 School Street /AWII.LIAM J. SCOTT North Andover, Massachusetts 01845 Director February 6, 1998 Mr. Robert Halpin, Town Manager 120 Main Street North Andover, MA 01845 RE: Enforcement Order — West Side Sewer Interceptor @ Glenwood Street. Dear Mr. Halpin: o_. i r -ft The Enforcement Order issued by the Conservation Commission on the West End Sewer trunk line is the only avenue that the Conservation Commission has to address a long standing problem. In the absence of a definitive plan for an existing 25 year problem the Commission had no other option than to take the action we did. The Commission wants to thank you for bringing this issue to our attention and facilitating meetings with the State Department of Environmental Protection towards finding and implementing a solution. We trust that with your guidance and support the problem will be solved timely. However, we are currently faced with the following: 1. The Glenwood Street problem is a severe violation of the Wetlands Protection Act and the local Wetlands By -Law, 2. the problem is a threat to public health, 3. the problem has persisted without a definitive solution for over 25 years, 4. the Town has been aware of the problem for over 25 years, 5. for this time period the Town has provided varying scenarios for a solution with only minimal implementation, 6. the Commission, through their own investigation, found that the problem was far greater in severity than was disclosed by the Department of Public Works and their consultant Guertin & Associates. We cannot allow a continuation of sanitary sewer discharge to an open water of the Commonwealth. The Conservation Commission has a strong record in enforcing the Wetlands Protection Act and the local North Andover Wetlands By -Law. The Toll Brothers enforcement at North Andover Estates and BOARD OF APPEALS 688-9541 BUILDING 688-9545 CONSERVATION 688-9530 HEALTH 688-9540 PLANNING 688-9535 the moving of a house at Woodland Estates are indications that the Commission holds the development community to a high standard. As a result, many of those in the development community have come to expect, and therefore meet, the high standards consistently set by the Commission. The NACC will continue to consistently maintain the standards whether the party is a developer, private homeowner or the Town itself. We cannot expect that the Commission should allow the Town to meet a lower standard. The solution to this issue is a plan that will be implemented to permanently solve the Glenwood Street problem. As a result of our actions, the development community has expressed concern that their ongoing developments will be impacted. While the Commission strongly wants a solution we do not have the resources to establish or implement a plan to solve this problem.' The fact that our community has yet to identify the financial resource to solve this problem does nothing to diminish the sworn duty of the Commission members. The Conservation Commission does not have the resources to solve this problem but that does not mean that we are not obligated to assume our responsibility. Essentially the Glenwood Street problem is the "cause", and the "effect" of this problem is an Enforcement Order from the Conservation Commission. We would hope that the Town Officials, the public and the development community understand that the issue is not the Enforcement Order issued by the Commission. Rather, the issue is the "cause", resulting in the enforcement action, which is the failure to solve a long standing violation. We believe that the residents of Glenwood Street and the Shawsheen River neighborhoods have unfairly and historically been forced to bear the brunt of increased development on the West End Trunk Line. Therefore, we recommend that everyone focus on solving the problem and not on the fact that the Conservation Commission has carried out it's sworn duty. It is unfortunate that we are placed in this position, however, after 25 years of inactivity some form of final action must be taken. Sincerer, ,Jo eph W. Lynch Cirman — NACC Encl.

Howard, Conservation Administrator Kathleen Colwell, Town Planner Sandra Starr, BOH Administrator Mr. Robert Nicetta, Building Inspector Mr. William Hmurciak, DPW Director NACC file GLENWOOD STREET WEST SIDE SEWER INTERCEPTOR January 24, 1990 11:00 a.m. West Side Sewer Interceptor Glenwood Street, North Andover Prepared By: The North Andover Conservation Commission DATED 2/6/98 VIOLATION: Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act (MGL c.131 s.40) & the North Andover Wetland'ByLaw & Regulations (C.178 of the Code of North Andover). On or about, January 7th of this year the North Andover Conservation Department was made aware of an overflow condition from the "west side sewer interceptor" which results in a direct, point source discharge of raw waste into a Bordering Vegetated Wetland (BVW — 310 CMR 10.55) and Riverfront Area (310 CMR 10.58) tangent to the Shawsheen River at the terminus of Glenwood Street in North Andover. In response to these findings, and during a typical winter storm event the weekend of January 23rd and 24th, representatives from the North Andover Conservation Commission (NACC) performed a site inspection. At that time, the sewer manhole was overflowing with raw waste which was subsequently flowing directly into the Shawsheen River'. The current situation and any additional volumes contributed into the "west side sewer interceptor" will adversely impact the sensitive wetland resource areas tangent to the Shawsheen River at Glenwood Street. The ability of these resource areas to provide the following functions presumed significant under the Act and local ByLaw will be impaired: 1. Protection of public and private water supply 2. Protection of ground water supply 3. Flood control 4. Storm damage prevention 5. Prevention of pollution 6. Protection of fisheries 7. Protection of wildlife habitat 8. Recreation 9. Prevention of Erosion & Sedimentation 10. Wildlife. I Photographs of said event are attached. The North Andover Water Treatment Plant rain gauge collected 2.56" of precipitation over a 24 hour period from the morning of 1/23/98 to the morning of 1/24/98. Assuming additional volumes from snowmelt, seasonally high groundwater, and/or frozen ground, a storm event with a recurrence interval somewhere between 1 and 2 years occurred over this period. As such, it is the Commission's opinion that there exists at least a 50% probability that an overflow condition occurs in any given year at the terminus of Glenwood Street. This data strongly disagrees with prior statements from the Department of Public Works that there had not been an incident since October 1996 (a 100 year storm event with a 1% chance of recurring in any given year). On February 4th, 1998 the NACC held a public meeting to discuss the issuance of a Violation Notice and Enforcement Order to the Department of Public Works (DPW). After a lengthy discussion period, the NACC unanimously voted to issue an Enforcement Order to the DPW mandating the following: "The Town of North Andover by and through it's Department of Public Works is hereby ordered forthwith to cease and desist from causing and or allowing any discharge of sanitary sewerage into the Shawsheen River, an open waterway of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, by and through the Glenwood Street manhole. Furthermore, no new permits, sewer "tie-ins"or additional flow into the west side interceptor will be allowed until the o verflow problem at the Glenwood Street manhole is alleviated to the satisfaction of the North Andover Conservation Commission. " PUBLIC HEALTH In order to accurately determine the severity and frequency of the overflow condition, the Conservation Administrator actively sought out professional opinions from DPW, the Board of Health and North Andover Fire Department (NAFD)., While it is clear that the NACC could not assert jurisdiction under the guise of a public health threat, correspondence from the Board of Health Administrator was submitted to the NACC during their deliberation of a proposed three mile sewer line along Route 114. On behalf of the Board of Health, the Health Administrator strongly indicated that "overflows and releases of sewage into the Shawsheen River would likely occur more often if additional volumes were added to the system." The NACC concurred with these findings. Correspondence from the North Andover Fire Department indicated that Chief Dolan and a representative from the North Andover Emergency Management Team periodically inspect Glenwood Street when flooding is expected. Chief Dolan has "witnessed overflows from the sewer pipe long before the river starts to back up on Glenwood Street." In addition, "the National Weather Service had advised the NAFD that due to the effects of EI Ninio this region of the Merrimack Valley could expect an extremely wet spring in 1998. The recurrence of flooding in the Glenwood Street area and sewerage overflow can be expected." Again, the NACC concurred with these statements. SITE HISTORY Photographs, correspondence -and general statements from Glenwood Street residents indicate that the above described problem has been on-going for over 25 years. On numerous occasions, DPW has made the assertion that the last overflow occurred during the storm event of October 1996. Clearly, the NACC's level of concern increased dramatically when they themselves were able to prove that DPW's assumptions were erroneous. Having witnessed the discharge of raw sewage on the 24th of January (after a fairly typical winter storm event) the NACC was left with few options. Their mission statement and role in safe -guarding North Andover's valuable natural resources is clear. After compiling an impressive file of facts, photographs, statements and hydrologic data, the decision to issue the above referenced Enforcement Order was not a difficult one. 310 CXR 10.99 DFP Sk No. F242 - Form 9 (ro be provided by DEP) NORTH ANDOVER AVpii,,t Town of No. Andover DPW cc=onvealth c o Bill Hmurciak of Xassachusetts EMERGENCY Enforcement order & CEASE AND DESIST Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, G.L. c. 131, $40 AND UNDER THE TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER BYLAW, CHAPTER 3, SECTION 3.5 From NORTH ANDOVER CONSERVATION COMMTSSTON (NACC) Issuing Authority Town of North Andover DPW c/o Bill Hmurciak To Date of Issuance February 5, 1998 Property lot/parcel number, address Terminus of Glenwood Street Discharge of sanitary sewerage into the Shawsheen Extent and type of activity: River, an open waterway of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, by and through the Glenwood Street manhole.

Struhs Commissioner December 12, 1995 Mr. & Mrs. Joseph Walsh 56 Glenwood Street North Andover, MA 01845 RE: Surcharge of Sewer Manhole on Glenwood Street, North Andover Dear M/M Walsh: In response to your complaint, two engineers from this office inspected the sewer manhole and surrounding area at the end of Glenwood Street, N. Andover. They reported that some work had been done by noting that crushed stone was placed around the manhole. It appears the stone was placed there to keep the area from eroding during a sewer surcharge. Apparently, past surcharging had taken place after noting that a gully had formed from the manhole and emptying into the woods. The two engineers rang several door bells to speak with the neighbors, but apparently nobody was home at any of the residences. The Town was called to find out what has or had been done to correct the surcharging problem. The Town reports that it has received funding from this Department and is in the process of preparing to send the repair work for the West Side Sewer Trunk Service, of which the Glenwood Street sewer manhole is part, out for bidding. The repair of the Trunk should commence in the Spring, 1996 and be completed before the end of the Summer, 1996. The town believes that the problem lies with the severe disrepair of the sewer piping throughout the sewer system and that the Glendale Street manhole happens to be the lowest point in the system. The manhole obviously cannot handle the volume of water and water pressure, causing the manhole to surcharge during heavy rainfall and, specifically, in the Spring, when groundwater is at its highest. J This office has contacted the Department's Municipal Assistance office to insure that funding has been made available for the repair project and that monitoring of the repair of the sewer system will take place. 10 Commerce Way • Woburn, Massachusetts 01801 • FAX (617) 932-7615 • Telephone (617) 932-7600 You will also find enclosed the photographs and correspondence you submitted to William Dunn of the Department's Office of Watershed Management.

Halpin Town Manager Town Hall 120 Main Street North Andover, Massachusetts 01845 Dear Mr. Halpin: At the Master Plan Committee meeting of January 23`° the Committee discussed issues relating to the possible approximate three-mile extension of sewer along Route 114. The Committee is concerned about the associated impacts on the Town's infrastructure and land use. In this regard the Master Plan Committee is interested in learning of the policy and administrative direction that will be employed in reviewing such a large project. Specifically the Committee requests that the appropriate Town representatives and or their consulting engineers be made available at a subsequent Selectman's meeting to present the current status of the Town's sewer infrastructure. Further, we feel that the development of 98 lots proposed off Route 114_ should be measured against the Town's water supply and therefore we request a presentation on the supply issues and any relevant studies. Our concerns are formulated through the extensive neighborhood meetings that the Committee has held. Many in the community are concerned about the relationship between development and our infrastructure. Further they are concerned about the question of who pays? In this regard a detailed explanation of where we stand on these relevant infrastructure issues will provide our committee with guidance as to the direction and policies we should be setting to protect our residence from further costs. I thank you for your time and look forward to an informative presentation on this important subject.

The event last approximately late morning on October 21. During that time 7.8s rain were recorded at the National Weather Service rain gage at 7�.. Airport, Boston, MA; 9.69 inches of rain were recorded at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) rain gage at the headwaters of the Shawsheen River at Hanscom Air Force Base, Bedford, MA. The USGS rain gage in Bedford records both daily total precipitation and total precipitation for 5 -minute intervals. Records for the 5 -minute totals during the most intense portion of the storm (0455 - 1905 hrs, EDT, Oct. 21) yielded a maximum of 0.08 inches from 0805 to 0810 hrs and averaged 0.04 inches per 5 -minute interval. Graphs of 5 -minute precipitation totals at Bedford, MA and instantaneous discharge at the Shawsheen River near Wilmington, MA about 9 miles downstream, are shown on page 10. STREAMFLOW DATA. -- The heavy precipitation event of October 20-21, 1996, in conjunction with saturated ground from an unusually wet summer, caused flooding in many streams in northeastern Massachusetts and southeastern New Hampshire. Recurrence interval, a measure of the magnitude of peak discharge, is presented in terms of years. A 50 -year flood is one where the peak flow has a 1 in 50 chance of occurring in any given year. Recurrence intervals were determined for peak discharges at selected stations where flooding occurred.

With the possibility of two major new subdivisions connecting to an extension of this section of sewer, the probability that overflows and releases of sewage will occur more often is likely. Therefore, the Board of Health strongly recommends that no permits for new construction be Granted or issued until the West Side Sewer has been repaired and/or upgraded as needed to contain all existing and additional flows at all times. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.

DOLAN Chief of Department To: Michael Howard, Conservation Administrator From: Fire Chief Dolan RE: Fire Department response to Glenwood St. Date: 2/3/98 Chief (978) 688-9593 Business (978) 688-9590 Fax (978) 688-9594 The fire department has responded to Glenwood St. to assist the public by flushing debris from sewerage overflows at the end of the street. This is an area, which is subject to flooding by the Shawsheen River and provides an early indicator of a flooding situation. Both I and Jeff Coco of North Andover Emergency Management check this area periodically when flooding is expected. I have witnessed overflows from the sewer pipe long before the river starts to back up on the street. Once the river does approach the sewer manhole there is little movement as the water eddy's in the area and overflow sewerage mixes with the cresting waters and remains along the land/water boundary. The National Weather Service has advised us that due to the affects of El Ninio that we can expect an extremely wet spring this year. The reoccurrence of flooding in the Glenwood St. area and overflow of sewerage can be expected. Please contact me ,or Jeff Coco if we can be of further assistance in this matter. William V.

This condition is caused by the heavy flow of sewerage on this side of town. We have complained over the years to different departments who have assured us year after year that this problem will be addressed. To our knowledge absolutely nothing is in the immediate or future plans to correct this serious problem. We understand that a proposed 90 lot sub -division off of Route 114 is before the planning board. Also the Mercury System property (at the foot of Green St.) has recently been sold and plans are being formulated to build more housing there. It is not our intent to stop progress, however, before any additional building is done which will discharge into this already overworked trunk line, we feel the current problem should be corrected. We have been living with human waste and all things that go through a sewer Iline for much too long. We have recently informed the Shavvsheen Water Shed which is part of the fi".errimack River ^dater Shed of the existing condition. The state is now becoming involved having sent a representative out to view this condition and speak with us. problem. thank you Mr. Osgood for any assistance you and your board can give us to correct a major cc: Mr. H21pin-Town Manager Planning Board Katherine Ogden -The Eagle Tribune Q 310 CMR 10.99 Form 9 Commonvealth of Xassachusetts DFP Fite No. 242- (To be provided by DEP) cityllbn NORTH ANDOVER Applicant Town of No. Andover DPW c o Bill Hmurciak EMERGENCY Enforcement order & CEASE AND DESIST Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, G.L. c. 131, 540 AND UNDER THE TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER BYLAW, CHAPTER 3, SECTION 3.5 From NORTH ANDOVER CONSERVATION COMMISSION :(NACC) Issuing Authority Town of North Andover DPW c/o Bill Hmurciak To -- Date of Issuance February 5, 1998 Property lot/parcel number, address Terminus of Glenwood Street Discharge of sanitary sewerage into the Shawsheen Extent and type of activity: River, an open waterway of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, by and through the Glenwood Street manhole.

As required in the Order, Mr. Brian Lagrasse performed a pre -construction inspection. Mr. Lagrasse was satisfied with erosion control and authorized construction to proceed. I monitored all the construction for the Enforcement Order. This work included grading, seeding, installing erosion blankets, and repointing the headwall. The seed mixture used was Massachusetts State slope mix that contains 50% creeping red fescue, 30% tall fescue, 10% annual rye, 5% red top, and 5% ladino clover. All work was completed in accordance with the Enforcement Order. The construction was completed without any significant impact to the resource area. The site was stabilized and left in a condition, which will prevent future erosion and foster permanent plant regrowth. s:\58024.01\corresp\052200-I.Itr.doc T l Ms. Richelle Martin & Conservation Admistrator May 22, 2000 Page 2 of 2 Guertin & Associates, Inc.
