driveway which serves the existing house and two new homes. Only the first section of the common driveway
is jurisdictional.NHESP required a conservation easement with boundaries marked in the field. This area
contains vernal pools which are encompassed within the easement and are protected under the Town's local
Bylaw. The project was designed to respect vernal pool setbacks. The stormwater consisted of a 4-foot wide
infiltration trench on the downhill side of the common driveway. Outstanding issues include missing
reporting from a professional engineer for maintenance of the infiltration trench as well as an incomplete
(shed&play structure at 2001 Salem Street) as-built plan. The shed and play structure are outside of the
NACC's jurisdiction. Vernal pool investigation was performed by Norse Environmental, and they found
enough evidence to protect the pools under the Bylaw but not enough to certify them with the State.
• Mr. Lynch states that maintenance of the trench is a perpetual condition of the OOC.
• Mr.Hale requests that moving forward data sheets and photos be provided when inspecting vernal pools.
• The Commission discusses the request and agrees the project is not in compliance.At least one report from a
PE is required prior to a COC being issued. They request the Applicant be placed on notice that reporting is
required annually.

found to be accurate. The project was reviewed by the Planning Board and a waiver with conditions was
issued.
• Ryan Collamore,the Applicant is present for questions.
• Mr. Lynch states that it is important to ensure the stone infiltration trench is built correctly to minimize future
impacts.

proposal to include a second story addition over the existing garage as well as an expansion of the footprint.
Stone infiltration for new roof runoff, stockpile area and construction access was added.

deadwood and pruning. They are proposing the removal of a triple tree trunk, if possible,they will only
remove one trunk,no stumping is proposed. Due to site conditions a frost wall will be installed vs a full
foundation,therefore dewatering will not be required.
• Bill McCarthy,the Applicant states the tree cleanup has been requested due to safety concerns.

stairs. They propose reconstructing the porch in the same footprint,rotating the stairs 90-deg to add a landing
to meet code requirements.A stone infiltration trench is proposed to capture roof runoff and continue around
the perimeter of the porch and under the stairs. Concrete will be installed under the footprint of the porch.
Work for the rear porch and stairs is within the 50-foot NBZ. The front concrete landing and first section of
walkway will be demolished and replaced with wider landing, steps and walkway;this work is outside the 50-
foot NBZ. There is an area of wetland between Flags 4 and 5 that has been historically mowed. They propose
to restore this area with native shrubs and install wetland markers.No work is proposed in the Riverfront
Area. The property is within the floodplain, a base elevation was not provided by FEMA.
• Mr. Lynch states the fact that the property is in Riverfront is not relevant; no fill is proposed in the
potential floodplain area.

242-1851,26 Long Pasture Road (Bhatnaga)
• The Administrator states the project consists of installation of an inground pool with associated pool
equipment,decking,fence and retaining wall. Some grading is proposed to provide a level area for the pool.
The property contains BVW and a potential vernal pool;the proposal respects the 75-foot NBZ. A saltwater
filtration system is proposed. The property contains a CR; all proposed work is outside of the CR area. The
property is within NHESP habitat; they have filed with NHESP and are waiting for a response. The wetland
line was reviewed by staff and found to be accurate. During the site inspection a pump and hoses were
observed near the vernal pool. Staff spoke with the homeowner who claimed this was an experiment that was
done by their daughter,it is no longer being used.A DEP#has not been issued at this time. Additional plan
details have been requested.

instructed by the Field Inspector to remove the pump from the site.
• Mr. Lynch expresses concerns that the temporary construction access will be in the 50-foot NDZ. If allowed,
restoration of this area will need to be discussed.
• The Administrator believes that the construction access through the front yard would make more sense
however the location of the septic system must be confirmed.
• Mr. Manzi expresses concerns with the pump,no activity is allowed within 50-ft and no build within 75-ft of
the vernal pool.
• Mr.Mahon suggests demarcating the boundary of the CR.

Enforcement Order/Violation
49 Court Street(Petrosino/Fiorante)
• The Administrator states that a tree removal letter was issued on May 27, 2022.At this time Conservation
Staff alerted the homeowner that any other work on the property would require review,approval and
permitting with the NACC. On June 21,2022 staff was alerted to violations consisting of unauthorized
importation of fill, stone and use of equipment resulting in ground disturbance,tree removals and pruning
beyond what was approved. Most of the violations appear to have occurred within the 50-foot NBZ,up to the
25-foot NDZ and perhaps within the 25-foot NDZ to BVW associated with an intermittent stream. All work
has ceased, and erosion controls have been installed and the site is stable. If any impact occurred within the
25-foot NDZ a restoration plan should be submitted.
• Leah Petrosino,the homeowner, states after receiving approval to remove the trees, fill was brought in to
allow the tree company to access the backyard. She states that they had eventually planned to add fill to level
the backyard. She agrees they are at fault and states they will remedy the situation.
• James Fiorante,the homeowner's partner, states that 3-4 thousand dollars of stone was brought in vs. fill to
prevent erosion due to the proximity of the work to the slope.
