30. The following wetland resource areas are affected by the proposed work:
Buffer Zone to Bordering Vegetated Wetland (BVW). These resource areas
are significant to the interests of the Act and Town ByLaw as noted above
and therein. The applicant has not attempted to overcome the presumption
of significance of these resource areas to the identified interests.
31. The NACC agrees with the applicant's delineation of the wetland resource
areas on the site as shown on the plans dated referenced herein. The
drainage channel along Cotuit Street, where the driveway crossing is
proposed, was determined to be a non -jurisdictional resource area (hydric
soils were not present), as well as the isolated vegetated wetland off
property on Dartmouth Street (less than 1,000 sJ. in size).
32. The NACC finds that the intensive use of the upland areas and buffer zone
proposed on this site will cause further alteration of the wetland resource
areas. In order to prevent any alteration of wetland resource areas a twenty-
five foot (25') No -Disturbance Zone and a fifty -foot (50') No -Construction
Zone shall be established from the edge of the adjacent wetland resource
area. The Conservation Administrator and/or other agents of the NACC do
C:\Winword1000\Lots277&278CotuitSt.doc 3 NACC 6/24/04
DEP FILE # 242 -1237
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. Further, approved
construction activities shall result in a 0 net increase in stormwater
discharge flow or velocity.
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 berms 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 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.

38. This Order shall be recorded by the applicant at the Registry of Deeds
immediately after the expiration of all appeal periods. No work shall be
undertaken until the Final Order has been recorded in the Registry of Deeds
or the Land Court for the district in which the land is located, within the
chain of title of the affected property. In the case of recorded land, the Final
Order shall also be noted in the Registry's Grantor Index under the name of
the owner of the land upon which the proposed work is to be done. In the
case of registered land, the Final Order shall also be noted on the Land Court
Certificate of Title of the owner of the land upon which the proposed work is
to be done. The recording information shall be submitted to the North
Andover Conservation Commission on the form at the end of this Order
prior to commencement of the work. Any Order not recorded by the
applicant before work commences may be recorded by the NACC at the
applicant's expense.
39. A sign shall be displayed at the site not less than two square feet or more
than three square feet in size bearing the words "Massachusetts DEP, File
Number 242-1237."
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 revised plan
and an explanation of the revisions shall be submitted to the NACC for
review and approval prior to the start of construction. No work shall begin

43. Wetland flagging shall be checked prior to start of construction and shall be
re-established where missing. All wetland flagging shall remain visible and
enumerated per the approved plan(s) throughout the life of the project and
until a Certificate of Compliance is issued so that erosion control measures
can be properly placed and wetland impacts can be monitored. The
proposed limit of work shall be shall be clearly marked with stakes or flags
and shall be confirmed by the NACC. Such markers shall be checked and
replaced as necessary and shall be maintained until all construction is
complete. Workers should be informed that no use of machinery, storage of
machinery or materials, stockpiling of soil, or construction activity is to occur
beyond this line at any time. All flags used for the above purposes shall be of
a color different from other flagging used on the site.
44. A row of staked hay bales backed by trenched siltation fence shall be
placed between all construction areas and wetlands. The erosion control
barrier will be properly installed and placed as shown on the plans approved
and referenced herein and shall be inspected and approved by the NACC
prior to the start of construction and shall remain intact until all disturbed
areas have been permanently stabilized to prevent erosion. All erosion
prevention and sedimentation protection measures found necessary during
construction shall be implemented at the direction of the NACC. The NACC
reserves the right to impose additional conditions on portions of this project
to mitigate any impacts which could result from site erosion, or any
noticeable degradation of surface water quality discharging from the site.
For example, installation of erosion control measures may be required in
areas not shown on the plan(s) referenced in this Order of Conditions.
Should such installation be required by the NACC, they shall be installed
within 48 hours of the Commission's request
45. The applicant shall have on hand at the start of any soil disturbance, removal
or stockpiling, a minimum of 15 hay bales and sufficient stakes for staking
these bales (or an equivalent amount of silt fence). Said bales shall be used
only for the control of emergency erosion problems and shall not be used for
the normal control of erosion.
46. The foundation corners shall be staked by survey by a Professional Land
Surveyor.
47. A check payable to the Town of North Andover shall be provided in the
amount of $5,000, which shall be in all respects satisfactory to Town Counsel,
Town Treasurer, and the NACC, and shall be posted with the North Andover
Town Treasurer through the NACC before commencement of work. Said
deposit of money shall be conditioned on the completion of all conditions
hereof, shall be signed by a party or parties satisfactory to the NACC, and

DEP FILE # 242 -1237
Town Counsel, and shall be released after completion of the project,
provided that provisions, satisfactory to the NACC, have been made for
performance of any conditions which are of continuing nature. The applicant
may propose a monetary release schedule keyed to completion of specific
portions of the project for the NACC's review and approval. This condition
is issued under the authority of the local ByLaw.
48. The applicant shall designate a Wetland Scientist as an "Erosion Control
Monitor" to oversee any emergency placement of controls and regular
inspection or replacement of sedimentation control devices. The name and
phone number of the erosion control monitor must be provided to the
NACC in writing by the hired professional in the event that this person has
to be contacted, due to an emergency at the site, during any 24-hour period,
including weekends. This person shall be given the authority to stop
construction for erosion control purposes. The erosion control monitor will
be required to inspect all such devices and oversee cleaning and the proper
disposal of waste products. Cleaning shall include removal of any entrapped
silt. At least once during each week in which construction activities occurs
on-site and for as long thereafter as ground remains unstabilized, the
applicant shall submit a written report from the "Erosion Control Monitor"
to the NACC certifying that, to the best of his/her knowledge and belief
based on a careful site inspection, all work is being performed in compliance
with this Order of Conditions and that approved setbacks are being adhered
to. The erosion control monitor must visually inspect all
sedimentation/erosion control measures and assume responsibility for their
maintenance on a weekly basis and that they are functioning as intended. In
addition, all wetland resource areas must be visually inspected for siltation,
turbidity, and/or other water quality impacts.
49. Prior to construction, the applicant shall permanently mark the edge of the
"25' No -Disturbance Zone" with signs or markers spaced evenly every 25
feet along the Dartmouth Street property boundary incorporating the
following text: "Protected Wetland Resource Area". This will designate
their sensitivity and assure no further inadvertent encroachment into the
wetland. These permanent markers are available at the Conservation
Office for $2 apiece and are subject to review and approval by the NACC.
The applicant shall instruct all agents to explain these markers to
buyers/lessees/landscapers and all persons taking over the property from
the applicant.
50. The applicant and/or the legal owner of that portion of land upon which
these Orders of Conditions have been placed shall provide to the NACC
prior to transferring, or assigning any portion of said land to another party,

NORTH ANDOVER
CONSERVATION COMMISSION
West Environmental, Inc. inspected the above referenced site on April 5, 2004 with
Steven Dunn and yourself to review the wetland delineation. The site was inspected after
a major rain event of over five inches. The site is located on a moderate north facing
slope and includes an old road bed which is a historic extension of Dartmouth Sum
along the southern boundary. There arc old ditches along the old roadway bed mrd a
ditch along the road frontage of Cotuit Street. These ditches are old but appear to still
control and direct runoff flowing towards the site from the south. They also may have
altered the natural hydrology of the site. The wadand delineation included the ditches
identified above and a portion of a poorly defined ditch on the north side of the old
roadway bed. This isolated area was increased in size during oar inspection. There was
no souring in this area but soil auger borings found hydric soils and some wetland
vegetation was observed.. The remainder of the site was inspected and upland vegetation
and non -hydric soils were observed. No additional wetlands were found on the site.
