Masterson Construction Corp. P.O.Box 165 Hathome,MA 01937 RE: Campbell Forest Subdivision Dear Mr.Masterson; It has been brought to my attention that your company did not request an inspection of the sub-grade prior to fill being placed in the roadway. This is a very serious problem. Since we have not observed the sub-grade we cannot approve the placement of fill or any utilities in the fill areas of the roadway. Since these portions,of the roadway,affect the total roadway we will not be able to approve any of the roadway and will require a 100%bond if a bond is requested.Inspections such as these were discussed at a meeting several months ago,a Mr. Bill Peach was in attendance. Also,I understand an extra Sewer Manhole was added without Town approval and in fact,after I informed the Staff Engineer that this was not acceptable.My understanding,is that you did not want to enter Campbell Road and this was a matter of convenience for you. The Town will ultimately assume the maintenance of this sewer system and we do not need unnecessary structures. This is a change from the approved plan,all changes MUST be approved by this Department and/or the Planning Board prior to the change being made. These two items are very serious and need to be addressed immediately.I would suggest a meeting of all concerned parties be established at once.Please,schedule regular and required inspections with Mr.Tim Willett, Staff Engineer, kcey,--Sirel , ce James Ran�d�,Jr., Director of Engineering.

William Hmurciak, PE, Director DP IV, in?Willett, Staff Engineer, Date: October 6, 1999 -�° Re: Campbell Forest Estates I am in receipt of a request for a bond figure for Campbell Forest Subdivision made to your office on October 1, 1999 by Mesiti Development Corp. We must inform you that we cannot supply you with a bond figure at this time,for the following reasons. 1. The offsite drainage for the Campbell Forest Subdivision on Campbell Road has not been designed, reviewed or approved at this time.Also,there are questions if the drainage system can be installed without relocating existing utilities. The developer has known of this situation for several months and has not taken any action on this matter. 2. Campbell Forest subdivision is dependent on two (2) large offsite sewer projects neither of which are complete and may not get completed this year. They both have serious issues that must be addressed prior to their being acceptable and are as follows: CAMPBELL FOREST OFFSITE SEWER EXTENSION A. The contractor has encountered a considerable amount of ledge, which has delayed his progress. As of this date, the contractor has 300 LF +/- of gravity sewer, 16 +/- sewer services, 2,300 LF +/- of force main and one pump station to install. Also, the gravity sewer system,the 2,300 LF of force main and the pump station need testing.This volume of work to be completed may prove impossible to finish prior to the stopping of all non-emergency roadwork for the winter. I believe that the developer may want to install a gas main on Campbell Road. FOREST VIEW OFFSITE SEWER EXTENSION A. The contractor is progressing slowly and it appears that he may complete the road construction prior to the ending of roadwork for the winter. Testing may not be completed and if deficiencies are found repairs cannot be made until spring. However, the two most critical outstanding issues follow. a. The developer is moving the Boston Ski Hill Pump Station. This Department has not received any plans to review. Therefore, if this pump station cannot be built in the approved location,the developer does not have an approved plan. 0 Page 1 H. Griffin October 6, 1999 Campbell Forest Estates b. Some of our staff traveled to the manufactures' construction site to review the Forest View Pump Station and found differences from what was approved and what was built. I informed Mr. Richard Pelletier of this and other than a phone call, which was inconclusive, no action has been taken.This is a very important matter. c. I could not even begin to predict when this line would be operational. Also, I feel that the following questions need to be addressed prior to bonding and the issuing of any building permits. A. Will this be a cash or paper bond? B. Will credit be given for work completed? C. Length(time)of bond? D. Should all offsite improvements be completed and operational prior to bonding and/or building permits being issued? E. If permits are issued, how do we insure that Certificate of occupancies are not issued, prior to all offsite work being completed. F. Have all sewer mitigation been paid? We are very concerned about allowing connections to our water distribution system, if there is no means to discharge the water. This department would welcome discussion and comments on these concerns from you and the Planning Board. MEMOHEIDIOB 0 Page 2 S.E.C.

Via Fax: 978-557-8160 Dear Ken, This letter acknowledges my opinion with respect to the proposed change regarding the Campbell Forest subdivision. The proposed change includes the change from vertical wood supports on guardrails to steel. The areas of change are limited to railing that is proximate to retaining walls. In all other areas the guardrails will remain entirely wood. Additionally, these areas were the change is proposed, the horizontal bars will also remain wood. It is reported that the installation will reduce long-term maintenance cost and meet or exceed safety factors in these areas. Based on the above, it is my opinion that the change is minor in nature and does not require a modification of the subdivision approval.

Comm. 97' drainage study URGENT ® FOR YOUR USE ❑ PLEASE COAINIENT N PLEASE REPLY PER YOUR REQUEST NOTES/C01b41,1ENTS: Mr.Jack Sullivan, In pursuing a Certificate of Compliance at Campbell Forest,the Conservation Commission requested an As-Built Drainage study to determine the impact of 4 addittional homes within the Campbell Forest subdivision may have on the original approved plans and drainage study. To my surprise,and I'm sure many others,we discovered 3 culvert detail discrepancies between those in the drainage report from those depicted on the approved plans.We built the drainage according to the approved plans. Dan Koravos P. E. of DK Engineering has proposed a remedy for these particular 3 culverts discrepancies to match the design for the approved project..At this time I am primarily concerned with your review of a particular medlod for remedy for this discrepancy.There is an attached 3 sheet detail for steel plates to reduce the size of the opening to 3 culverts attached. The Conservation Commission is going to send the new Drainage study out to there consulting engineer after your office approves only in the method of remedy. In other words, assuming everth ing in the drainage study is accurate and true and the method of remady actually does what it says it does,at the end of the day does the anchoring of the galvanized steel plates not offend the DPW acceptable methodology.At this time we are not asking for your acceptance of the new Dranage study findings or remedy accuracy.We are asking if you do not object to the galvanized steel method prior to our sending the new drain study and appurtenant documents to the Con Comm.'s consulting engineer. Despite the foregoing limited request,ultimately you may need to advise the Planning Board on this matter.Therefore Iam attaching the following: Please find attached the July 31,2003 Drainage Study by DK Engineering; 3 sheet detail of steel plate attachment tp 3 culverts; Some summary pages of the July 31,2003 and April 23, 1997 Drainage study for comparison; 13 sheets of Plans that you already possess but in separate groupings. In this package I have grouped together the following for relevance to the matter at hand: Campbell Forest Definitive Subdivision Cover Sheet,Conditions Sheet,Sheets 13 -21 of the Campbell Forest Definitive Subdivision Approved Plans. Of the aforesaid sheets,sheets 17 -21 are also called sheets 1 to 5 of 5. These 1 thruogh 5 sheets were give the name "Record Copy MDH 5/20/98 Mod." following the addition of sewer on the site. 1 W Andover Bypass,Suite 3W,North Andover,Mass.01845()78)687-53W Fax:()78)557-8160 k.ihern@mesifigroup.com Also in the grouping is the As-Built drainage at the Campbell Rd and Salem St intersection dated 9/21/01.This plan shows the additional 7'x 5' box covert under Salem St. and the control structure and an additional 18" drain line we installed that outlets to the east side of Salem St. after the outfall of the 7'x 5' culvert. The pre-existing drain lines are also shown.Lastly there is a Composite Site Plan by DK Engineering Assoc. dated 7/7/2003' showing the 5 distinct drainage collection areas and the control points that connect these interacting drain areas.
