C:\Winword\OOC\HaroldParkerCulvertReplacement.doc 1 NACC 7/3/2007 DEP FILE # 242 -1400 25. This Order of Conditions is issued under File No. 242-1400. 26. The conditions of this decision shall apply to, and be binding upon, the applicant, owner, its employees and all successors and assigns in interest or control. These obligations shall be expressed in covenants in all deeds to succeeding owners of portions of the property. 27. The term "Applicant" as used in this Order of Conditions shall refer to the owner, any successor in interest or successor in control of the property referenced in the Notice of Intent, supporting documents and this Order of Conditions. The NACC shall be notified in writing within 30 days of all transfers of title of any portion of property that takes place prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Compliance. 28. The proposed work includes: the replacement and repair of two existing failed culverts and associated roadway paving at Harold Parker and Middleton Roads (Harold Parker State Forest) within the buffer zone to a Bordering Vegetated Wetland (BVW). Work will also occur within BLSF at Harold Parker Road (FEMA FIRM Zone A - no base flood elevation determined) and within Estimated Habitat of the Blanding's Turtle (Emydoidea blandingii). The work is considered a limited project under 310 CMR 10.53 (3) (k) for the maintenance and repair of road drainage structures. The NACC finds that the work as proposed will not adversely impact the resource areas since only temporary impacts are proposed and appropriate mitigation efforts have been adequately proposed and conditioned herein. Therefore, the NACC shall allow said work under the limited project provision (310 CMR 10.53 (3) (k)) with the conditions set forth in this Order. 29. The work shall conform to the following (except as noted in the remainder of this document where revisions may be required): Notice of Intent filed by: Department of Conservation and Recreation (Applicant) C/o Joseph Halloran 817 Lowell Street Carlisle, MA 01741 Dated May 2007 Prepared by: Vine Associates, Inc.

Other Record Documents: Division of Fisheries & Wildlife Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Progam (NHESP) letter dated June 14, 2007. 30. The following wetland resource areas are affected by the proposed work: Bank (temporary), BVW (temporary), and BLSF. 31. 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. 32. The NACC agrees with the applicant's delineation of the wetland resource areas on the site as shown on the approved plans referenced herein. 33. 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 except in those previously disturbed areas and those areas approved under this filing shall be established from the edge of the adjacent wetland resource area. The applicant shall make every effort to minimize impacts to the resource areas. 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). 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 Commissions jurisdiction under the order, agree that the Order does not in itself impose upon the Town any responsibility to maintain the proposed drainage system and that said Town shall not be liable for any damage in the event of failure. By acceptance of this Order, the owners agree to indemnify and hold harmless to the Town and its residents for any damage attributable to alterations undertaken on this property pursuant to the Order. Maintenance of the drainage system, if accepted by the Town as part of a public way, becomes the responsibility of the Town. 36. Issuance of these Conditions does not in any way imply or certify that the site or downstream areas will not be subject to flooding, storm damage or any other form of water damage.

If the NACC finds said changes to be significant, the NACC will call for another public hearing (at the expense of the applicant). Within 21 days of the close of said public hearing the NACC will issue an amended or new Order of Conditions. Any errors found in the plans or information submitted by the applicant shall be considered as changes. The proposed project may be still under review by other local or state boards or agencies. This may result in changes to the project plans or wetland impacts. If any such changes occur a revised plan and an explanation of the revisions shall be submitted to the NACC for review and approval prior to the start of construction. No work shall begin on a project until written approval has been granted by the NACC. 41.

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. Additional erosion control measures (i.e. - sandbags, checkdams, filter fabric, jutematting, etc.) shall be placed and implemented as necessary as described in the Notice of Intent or as determined by the Project Manager, Site Contractor, Erosion Control Monitor, and/or the Conservation Department. If necessary, haybale check dams and/or other appropriate erosion control measures shall be implemented and installed immediately downstream from the proposed work. 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 immediately upon (within 24 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 24 hay bales (12 at each location) 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. All additional emergency erosion controls shall be on site prior to C:\Winword\OOC\HaroldParkerCulvertReplacement.doc 5 NACC 7/3/2007 DEP FILE # 242 -1400 the commencement of any work on site and will be verified by the Conservation Department during the pre -construction meeting. 46.
