Entitled Lot 3 — Plan to Accompany a Notice of Intent in
North Andover, Massachusetts
30. The following wetland resource areas are affected by the proposed work: Buffer,
Zone to Bordering Vegetated Wetland (BVW). These resource areas are significant
to the interests of the Act and Town ByLaw as noted above and therein. The
applicant has not attempted to overcome the presumption of significance of these
resource areas to the identified interests.
31. The NACC agrees with the applicant's delineation of the wetland resource areas on
the site as previously approved under an Order of Resource Area Delineation
(ORAD), DEP file # 242-1127. Note that the ORAD approval only approved the
limits of the buffer zones and not the resource area itself (see addendum to
ORAD).
32. The NACC finds that the intensive use of the upland areas and buffer zone
proposed on this site will cause further alteration of the wetland resource areas. In
order to prevent any alteration of wetland resource areas a twenty-five foot (25')
No -Disturbance Zone and a fifty -foot (509 No -Construction Zone shall be
established from the edge of the adjacent wetland resource area. The Conservation
Administrator and/or other agents of the NACC do not have the authority to waive
these setbacks as established under the local bylaw. No disturbance of existing
grade, soils or vegetation is permitted in the No -Disturbance zone. (See Section 3.4 &
Appendix F of the local Regulations).
33. There shall be no increase in the post development discharges from the storm
drainage system or any other changes in post development conditions that alter the
post development watershed boundaries as currently depicted in the Notice of
Intent and approved by this Order of Conditions, unless specifically approved in
writing by the Commission.
34. This document shall be included in all construction contracts, subcontracts, and
specifications dealing with the work proposed and shall supersede any conflicting
contract requirements. The applicant shall assure that all contractors,
subcontractors, and other personnel performing the permitting work are fully aware
of the permits terms and conditions. Thereafter, the contractor will be held jointly
liable for any violation of this Order resulting from failure to comply with its
conditions.
35. The owners of the project and their successors in title, in the event they proceed to
alter areas subject to the Commission's jurisdiction under the order, agree that the
Order does not in itself impose upon the Town any responsibility to maintain the
proposed drainage system and that said Town shall not be liable for any damage in
the event of failure. By acceptance of this Order, the owners agree to indemnify and
C:\Winword\OOC\GrayStLot3242-1253.doc 3 NACC 5/28/04
i
DEP FILE # 242 -1253
hold harmless to the Town and its residents for any damage attributable to
alterations undertaken on this property pursuant to the Order. Issuance of these
Conditions does not in any way imply or certify that the site or downstream areas
will not be subject to flooding, storm damage or any other form of water damage.
Maintenance of the drainage system, if accepted by the Town as part of a public
way, becomes the responsibility of the Town.
36. Issuance of these Conditions does not in any way imply or certify that the site or
downstream areas will not be subject to flooding, storm damage or any other form
of water damage.
PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION
37. No work shall be undertaken until all administrative appeal periods from this Order
have elapsed or, if such an appeal has been filed, until all proceedings before the
Department or Court have been completed.

proposed work is to be done. The recording information shall be submitted to the
North Andover Conservation Commission on the form at the end of this Order
prior to commencement of the work. Any Order not recorded by the applicant
before work commences may be recorded by the NACC at the applicant's expense.
39. A sign shall be displayed at the site not less than two square feet or more than three
square feet in size bearing the words "Massachusetts DEP, File Number 242-1253."
40. Any changes in the submitted plans caused by the applicant, another Board's
decision or resulting from this Order of Conditions must be submitted to the NACC
for approval prior to implementation. If the NACC finds said changes to be
significant, the NACC will call for another public hearing (at the expense of the
applicant). Within 21 days of the close of said public hearing the NACC will issue an
amended or new Order of Conditions. Any errors found in the plans or information
submitted by the applicant shall be considered as changes. The proposed project
may be still under review by other local or state boards or agencies. This may result
in changes to the project plans or wetland impacts. If any such changes occur a
