RE: 61 Essex St.
North Andover, Mass.
Dear Mr. Bellavance:
This office has prepared a plot plan showing a proposed shed to be built on the
above referenced lot. That plan, dated July 28, 2014, shows the existing
dwelling and adjacent wetlands. The lot was created in 1974. (N.D.E.R.D. Plan
No. 7078).
The existing dwelling is serviced by a septic system but the shed will not have
plumbing facilities or be connected to the existing system.
The owner has confirmed that the shed will not have any gutters or downspouts
and the shed is over 200 feet from wetlands.
Based on the above facts, it is my opinion that no new surface or subsurface
discharges are proposed with the construction of the shed shown on our plan.
If you need any additional information, feel free to contact me at any time.
Sincerely,
ANDOVER CONSULTANTS I► . .
