RE: Salem Forest IV Subdivision (DEP #242-820).
Dear Phil:
have read your comments outlined in a letter to Kathleen Colwell, Town Planner, dated
April 17, 1998 and I offer the following comments:
1. The Order of Conditions issued by the North Andover Conservation Commission
(NACC) in 1996 specifically approves a "bottomless box culvert". I am in
agreement with your findings that the current footing design is insufficient and
lacking in detail to be constructed safely and in accordance with the permit.
Therefore, I would suggest that you coordinate with the Department of Public
Works and agree to a typical 4 x 8 culvert design with an appropriate amount of
fill to be placed as substrate which in effect will mimic the existing stream
bottom. The final design should not result in greater wetland alteration than
that amount previously approved (approximately 4,550 sf of BVW/20' of
intermittent stream bank/ and 1 ,975 sf of lower floodplain habitat) nor should
the post development runoff rates differ significantly from pre-development.
2. As agreed, the details) on page 5 of the approved plans are inconsistent with
the plan views specific to the retaining wall and roadway widths. Upon
completion of your final design please submit appropriate details which
accurately depict the proposed plan view.
