Hi ,Jean, Bonnie, and Horsley Witten Group members:
I reviewed the March 8, 2022 memo from the Horsley Witten Group and offer the following
changes/additions to address the review comments.
1) The area drain has been eliminated from the project. The owner is able to re-grade the area to
eliminate the need for an area drain. Much of the 3-8-2022 review memo involved comments on
the area drain.
2) A detail of the 4" NDS pop-up emitter has been added to the plan.
3) Additional erosion control, in the form of a 12" staked mulch soxx has been added around a
portion of the soil stockpile area to enhance protection measures.
4) Four (4) trees have been shown and identified for removal on the plan. A 4", 12" and 6"
hardwood tree and a 12" pine tree to be removed.
5) A full basement is proposed for the addition (previously a crawlspace)
6) No dewatering anticipated
7) Water and sewer services shown...no gas service to show
8) Limit of disturbance has been labeled on the Site Plan equal to erosion control barrier limit
9) O&M updated to include inspection of NDS pop-up emitter & inspection log (signed by owner)
10) An erosion and sediment narrative is provided.
11) All erosion barriers are set outside the 100 foot setback to the wetlands (on previous plan I
mistakenly had placed erosion barrier about 80 feet from the wetlands).
I think this covers everything. I have a site walk on 3/29 at 1:00 pm with Taylor Andrews of
Conservation to review the wetland line...on this site it is pretty clear being a bottom of slope
throughout...
If anyone needs paper copies of materials please let me know quantity to provide...the owner is
copied and will drop copies.
Thank you everybody.,.

Hi Jean, Bonnie, and Horsley Witten Group members:
I am attaching a revised Plan for the above property based on a 3/29/2022 Site walk with Amy
Maxner & Taylor Andrews of the Conservation Dept....Amy and Taylor adjusted one of the wetland
flags (more upgradient)...as such the following changes were made to the Plan,
1) Wetland line (BVW) revised to reflect new flag location
2) 100 foot BVW buffer and 100 foot Non-disturbance zone revised
3) 325 foot Non_Discharge Zone revised
4) A portion of limit of work line and silt fencing relocated to be outside 100 foot BVW buffer
5) The proposed infiltration field slightly relocated to allow room for transitional grading.
That's it...everything else is the same in the materials provided in the 3/25/2022 email.
Again...if new paper copies of the Plan are required to be submitted to Town Hall I have copied the
owner, Gena Hatch, who can deliver. (Gena...plan size is 18"x24").
Thank you everyone....

Re: Initial Stormwater Peer Review
229 Brentwood Circle
North Andover, Massachusetts
Dear Ms. Enright and Board Members:
The Horsley Witten Group, Inc. (HW) is pleased to provide the North Andover Planning Board
with this letter report summarizing our initial review of the Stormwater Management Report and
Site Plan for the proposed improvements to 229 Brentwood Circle in North Andover, MA. The
plans were prepared by Sullivan Engineering Group, LLC for Eugenia and Robert Hatch
(Applicant). The project proposes the construction of an addition to the current home, and the
installation of a subsurface infiltration system at the rear of the existing 1-acre site. The
stormwater management for the proposed improvements includes a proposed subsurface
infiltration system as well as a proposed area drain behind the existing home and proposed
impervious site improvements. A total of 660 square feet (sf) of additional impervious area is
proposed on site. The proposed development is located fully within the 325-foot Non-Discharge
Buffer Zone from the wetland area located at the adjacent#500 Great Pond Road and requires
a Special Watershed Permit.
The following documents and plans were received by HW:
• Special Permit - Watershed Permit Application, 229 Brentwood Circle, North Andover,
Massachusetts, prepared by Sullivan Engineering Group, LLC, dated February 25, 2022
(58 pages);
• Hatch Residence Construction Documents, 229 Brentwood Circle, North Andover,
Massachusetts, prepared by LYF architects, dated November 22, 2021 (10 pages); and
229 Brentwood Circle Plot Plan of Land, North Andover, Massachusetts, prepared by
Sullivan Engineering Group, LLC, dated February 24, 2022 (1 sheet).
Stormwater Management Design Peer Review
HW offers the following overall comments concerning the stormwater management design as
per the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook (MSH) dated February 2008, the North Andover
Stormwater Management and Erosion Control Regulations (Stormwater Regulations) adopted
February 15, 2011, and the North Andover Stormwater Management and Erosion Control Bylaw
(Bylaw).
Hors IeyWitten.com 91 nHorsleyWittenGroup IM Horsley Witten Group, Inc.
Town of North Andover
March 8, 2022
Page 2 of 4
In accordance with North Andover Code §250-27 Stormwater Management Plan Design and
Performance Criteria, this project is required to comply at a minimum with the performance
standards of the MSH. Therefore, we have used the MSH as the basis for organizing our
comments. However, in instances where the additional criteria established in §250-27 of the
North Andover Code requires further recommendations; we have referenced these as well.
1. Standard 1: No new stormwater conveyances (e.g., ouffalls) may discharge untreated
stormwater directly to or cause erosion in wetlands or waters of the Commonwealth.
a. The Applicant is proposing two stormwater management features to manage runoff
generated from the proposed improvements. It appears that no new stormwater
conveyances will discharge untreated stormwater directly to wetlands or waters of the
Commonwealth.
b. The proposed stormwater management consists of an area drain and a subsurface
system. These stormwater practices outlet through two 12-inch NDS emitters at the back
of the property. HW recommends including a drainage detail for the area drain as well as
the proposed outlet emitters. The emitters can become clogged, covered with leaves,
grass, or snow and will require regular inspections and maintenance by the homeowner.
2. Standard 2: Stormwater management systems shall be designed so that post-development
peak discharge rates do not exceed pre-development peak discharge rates.
a. The Applicant has provided the HydroCAD model illustrating the peak flow from the
proposed addition and a portion of the existing house discharging into the subsurface
infiltration system. The Applicant has not included a separate node showing the area
drain at the back of the site and the emitter outlet for the area drain. It appears that the
area captured is relatively small and the discharge from the infiltration system is minimal.
HW recommends that the Applicant include a table illustrating the anticipated flow out of
both emitters during the various storm events.
b. Per North Andover Code §250-26.17, a Stormwater Management Plan should include a
drainage area map showing pre- and post-construction watersheds, sub-watersheds,
and stormwater flow paths, including municipal drainage system flows, The Applicant
has included pre-development and post-development watershed maps. HW
recommends that the Applicant revise the drainage area maps to illustrate the proposed
catchment area flowing to the area drain.
3. Standard 3 requires that the annual recharge from post-development shall approximate
annual recharge from pre-development conditions.
a. The Applicant has submitted drawdown calculations for the proposed site improvements.
It appears that the stormwater management system proposed provides adequate
storage and drawdown time for the proposed site improvements. HW has no further
comment.
The Applicant complies with Standard 3,
4. Standard 4 requires that the stormwater system be designed to remove 80% Total
Suspended Solids (TSS) and to treat 1/2-inch of volume from the impervious area for water
quality.
a. No TSS calculations have been provided for this project. However, the land uses of

Brentwood.dom
Town of North Andover

Page 3 of 4
roofs, lawns, and patios do not generate suspended solids that require removal.
The Applicant complies with Standard 4.
5. Standard 5 is related to projects with a Land Use of Higher Potential Pollutant Loads
(LUHPPL).
a. The proposed residential development is not considered a LUHPPL. Therefore,
Standard 5 is not applicable to this project.
6. Standard 6 is related to projects with stormwater discharging into a critical area, a Zone ll, or
an Interim Wellhead Protection Area of a public water supply.
a. The proposed development is not within a critical area, Zone II or an IWPA area.
Therefore, Standard 6 is not applicable.
7. Standard 7 is related to projects considered Redevelopment.
a. The proposed project involves solely the construction of new impervious area and is not
considered redevelopment. Therefore, Standard 7 is not applicable.
8. Standard 8 requires a plan to control construction related impacts Including erosion,
sedimentation, or other pollutant sources.
a. In accordance with the MSH and North Andover Code §250-29, HW recommends that
the Applicant include dewatering facilities (if required based on the soils investigation), a
soil stockpile, and temporary and permanent site stabilization practices. The Applicant
has included a soil stockpile location but has not included the sediment and erosion
controls around the stockpile area.
b. HW recommends that the Applicant clearly delineate the project's limits of disturbance.
c. HW recommends that the Applicant include an erosion and sediment control narrative in
accordance with North Andover Code §250-29(3).
d. HW recommends that the Applicant note the number of trees to be removed that are
greater than 8" diameter.
9. Standard 9 requires a Long-Term Operation and Maintenance (O & M) Plan to be provided.
An O&M Plan has been provided for the proposed project. This O&M Plan submitted is a
stand-alone document and has been signed by the property owner(s). HW has the following
comments regarding the O&M plan:
a. HW recommends adding inspection of the area drain and cleaning four (4) times per
year.
b. HW recommends inspection and cleaning of the outlet emitters four (4) times per year.
c. HW recommends that the Applicant prepare a submittal log and inspection checklist for
the items to inspect onsite for the homeowner's use.
10. Standard 10 requires an illicit Discharge Compliance Statement be provided.
a. No Illicit Discharge Compliance Statement has been provided. HW recommends that the
Planning Board include a condition of approval requiring an Illicit Discharge Compliance
Statement signed by the property owner prior to land disturbance.

11. Additional Comments:
a. The proposed site plan includes the existing onsite sanitary sewer connection but
appears to be missing other utilities. HW recommends that the Applicant include the
approximate locations of all existing infrastructure on the site plan, including the water
service, electrical, and gas as applicable.
Conclusions
HW recommends that the North Andover Planning Board require the Applicant to provide a
written response and address the few outstanding comments as part of its review process. We
appreciate the opportunity to assist the Town of North Andover on this project review. Please

Erosion and Sediment control narrative:
The owner has shown erosion control to be established in the work area and construction access points. A
construction detail is shown on the plan to provide the contractor guidance for installation. A proposed soil
stockpile area is shown, but most likely will not be needed since excavated soil for the addition will be Mucked
directly from the site. All disturbed areas shall be stabilized as quickly as possible with grass seed. In the
event that the site is disturbed over winter months there straw mulch shall be spread over the disturbed areas
until the growing season returns.
Erosion control shall be inspected weekly by the contractor and homeowner to make sure it is functioning
properly. In the event silt buildup is high on the barrier it shall be removed. Erosion control shall be replaced
if any signs of failure are noted.
