Current Project
ject Site Conditions: The project site is located at the southeastern end of Duane
Stadium on the Merrimack College campus located at 315 Turnpike Street, The project area
consists of maintained lawn areas adjacent to the stadium and associated track surface.
Bordering vegetated wetland is located to the south of the work area.
The NACC agrees with the delineation of the following wetland resource areas as reflected
on the approved plan. The applicant has not attempted to overcome the presumption
of significance of these resource areas to the identified interests in the Act and
Bylaw.
a. Bordering Vegetated Wetland (BVW) - Wetland Series WF3450453 & WF3-
154A-154F
b. 100-Foot Buffer Zone to BVW
c. The project does not lie within NHESP Priority Habitat or within 100 feet of
vernal pools
d. The project does not occur within the 100-year floodplain
e. The project does not occur within 200-Foot Riverfront Area
Therefore, the North Andover Conservation Commission (hereafter the "NACC") hereby
finds that the following conditions are necessary, in accordance with the Performance
Standards set forth in the State Regulations, the local Bylaw and Regulations, to protect those
interests noted above. The NACC orders that all work shall be performed in accordance with
said conditions and with the Notice of Intent referenced below. To the extent that the
following conditions modify or differ from the plans, specifications or other proposals
submitted with the Notice of Intent, the conditions shall control.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
21. The proposed work includes: install a 36x 21' video display board for Duane Stadium.
The board will be mounted on a below-grade, reinforced and cast-in-place concrete
footing that spans 11' x 32' -footing will be just outside the 50' NBZ. From this footing,
three (3) X-C' x 3'-6" concrete pedestals will extend up approximately 6" above grade to
support the steel vertical beams to which the board will be mounted. Electrical conduits
will be provided via new conduit from the existing Athletics Center and a new 4'x7'
electrical pad will be installed outside the 50' NBZ. A shallow trench, approximately 18"
wide by 24" deep, will be dug using a mini-excavator in which the conduit will be
placed. The trenches shall be backfilled and restored to the existing conditions.
Waiver Request Details:
Proposed work is fully within previously disturbed grassy portions of the 50' NBZ.
Work within the 50' NBZ includes
oDisturbance to access the site

North Andover Conservation Commission Findings&Special Conditions
Page I of 14
DEP FILE # 242— 1874 315 Turnpike,Street—Merrimack College
oExcavation and trenching for board footings and electrical/telecommunications
. conduit utilities.
oFooting and electrical pad itself are outside the 50' NBZ
After review and consideration, the NACC determined that work of this nature is allowed
within the 50' NBZ since no permanent structure will be installed within that zone and
conditions within the 50' will be returned to pre-existing maintained lawn.
'Note:
At its August 23, 2023 meeting, the North Andover Conservation Commission (NACC)
reviewed and discussed the Small Project Permit Application submitted by VHB on
Merrimack College's behalf. The project proposed installation of a new video scoreboard at
Duane Stadium off Cullen Avenue on campus. The scoreboard will require an 11' x 32' x 3.6,
concrete footing below grade with rebar and concrete pedestals for support and associated
electrical. The work to take place within the 100-foot buffer zone to bordering vegetated
wetland. After review, the NACC voted to deny the application as it determined that the
project did not qualify for a Small Project Permit process since the conditions required to
properly protect the resource areas froze the work were too extensive. The NACC concluded
that a Notice of Intent would be necessary.
At its September 13, 2023 meeting during the initial public hearing relative to a Notice of
Intent, DEP File #2424874, for a proposed video board at Duane Stadium, the NACC
reviewed and discussed the project with you and your consulting engineer Jeff Koetteritz of
VHB. During discussion it came to light that the college had commenced work on this
project, consisting of excavation for the video board footing, without any permits having
been obtained from the Conservation Commission or the Building Department.
According to C. 190.2 of the North Andover Wetland Protection Bylaw, "No person shall
engage in the following activities: removal, filling, dredging, discharging into, building upon,
or otherwise altering or degrading the wet-land resource areas..." including any 100-foot
buffer zone (see also Wetland Protection Act(WPA) Regulations 31.0 CMR 10,55), without
written approval by the North Andover Conservation Commission (NACC). The NACC
determined that the excavation undertaken constituted a violation and voted to suspend its
review of the NOI and after further discussion and consideration, the NACC then
unanimously voted to issue this Enforcement Order and assess fines of$100 per day
beginning on the day of submittal of the Small Project Permit application (August 16, 2023)
and ending through the date of the first NOI hearing (September 13, 2023) as penalty for
unpermitted work, totaling$2,900. On September 26, 2023 the full fine was paid. The
Commission resumed its review of the NOI at its October 11.., 2023 meeting.
22. The work shall conform to the following (except as noted in the remainder of this
document where revisions may be required):
