Dear Ms. Gregoire and Board Members:
The Horsley Witten Group, Inc. (HW) is pleased to provide the North Andover Planning Board
with this letter report summarizing our third review of the Drainage Report and Permitting Plans
for the proposed North Andover Adult Center at 1 Surry Drive, North Andover, MA. The plans
were prepared for the Town of North Andover (Applicant) by DeVellis Zrein Inc. HW
understands that the Applicant is proposing to construct an Adult Center, a parking lot,
landscaping improvements, a stormwater management system, and new utility infrastructure.
The project proposes to redevelop a 1.5-acre area comprised of multiple lots that currently
contain two existing 2-family homes. There are no waterways or wetlands on-site. The area is
not associated with any Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program areas and is outside
of the FEMA 100-year flood zone.
The following additional documents and plans were received by HW:
• Response letter to the North Andover Planning Board, prepared by DeVellis Zrein Inc.,
dated August 27, 2019, including supplemental stormwater calculations (92 pages);
• Site Development Plans, North Andover Adult Center, 1 Surrey Drive, North Andover,
Massachusetts, prepared by DeVellis Zrein Inc., dated May 28, 2019, revised August 27,
2019, which includes;
o Cover Sheet
o Existing Conditions Plan (The Morin-Cameron Group, Inc.)
o Layout and Materials Plan C-1
o Grading and Utility Plan C-2
o Planting Plan C-3
o Site Details Sheet C-4
o Site Details Sheet C-5
o Photometric Plan SL-I.B

Stormwater Management Design Peer Review
The comments below correlate to our initial review dated July 10, 2019 and our second review
dated July 30, 2019. Follow up comments are provided in bold italic font.
1. Standard 1 states that no new stormwater conveyances (e.g. outfalls) may discharge
untreated stormwater directly to or cause erosion in wetlands or waters of the
Commonwealth.
a. The Applicant has analyzed the existing and proposed stormwater discharge rates
from the project site at the property boundaries. HW notes that there are some minor
discrepancies between the pre- and post-development watershed boundaries of the
1 Surrey Drive application and the 505 Sutton Street application (review recently
completed by HW on July 1, 2019). HW recommends that the watershed boundaries
under existing and proposed conditions be coordinated between the two projects to
the extent possible.
The Applicant has adequately responded to this comment and has revised the
watershed boundaries.
b. The Applicant will also be discharging a majority of the proposed flow towards the
municipal drainage system on Surrey Drive. To verify that the outlet of the municipal
system will not cause erosion in waters of the Commonwealth, HW recommends that
the Applicant show the locations of the municipal drainage system on the plans,
provide a narrative describing where the municipal system currently outlets and
document that no erosion is currently occurring at the final discharge point.
The Applicant has noted that the existing conditions plan will be updated, and
a narrative will be provided. HW has not received either of these documents for
review.
• August 28, 2019: The Applicant has noted that the drain line in Surrey
Drive connects into the drainage line on Sutton Street. The Applicant for
the development at 505 Sutton Street responded to a similar request
and stated that the municipal system outlets off the south side of
Osgood Street. A field visit conducted by The Morin-Cameron Group,
Inc. identified this area as densely vegetated. No outlet structure was
identified and there was no sign of erosion or scour at the record outlet
locations. The field crew followed the topography to the nearest wetland
and did not observe any erosion in or upstream of the wetlands.
• HW recommends that the drain line be provided on the plan set and
understands that this addition is being completed by the Town of North
Andover. We have no further comment.
2. Standard 2 requires that 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 calculations for the 2-year, 10-year and 100-year, 24-
hour events for pre-and post-development conditions. However, per the North
Andover Stormwater Regulations, the 0.5-inch storm and the 25-year, 24-hour event
calculations also need to be included.

The Applicant has adequately responded to this comment and revised the
Drainage Report to include the 0.5-inch and the 25-year storm events.
b. Also, the depths of rainfall used for each event shall be as described in the North
Andover Stormwater Regulations under Section 7.2 B.b. Specifically noting that the
100-year rainfall amount is 8.6 inches over 24 hours.
The Applicant has adequately responded to this comment and revised the
Drainage Report utilizing the depths of precipitation as required by North
Andover including the 100-year, 24-hour storm event.
c. Per North Andover Stormwater Regulations Section 7.2 B.i, pervious lands onsite
"shall be considered to be in good condition regardless of existing conditions existing
at the time of computation". HW recommends that the Applicant update pervious
cover to be in 'Good' condition in the HydroCAD modeling calculations for pre-
development conditions.
The Applicant has adequately responded to this comment and has revised the
pervious surface cover to be in "Good" condition in the Drainage Report.
d. The Existing Watershed Map provided by the Applicant does not show topography
extending to the south (e.g., into 19 Surrey Drive), HW is not able to confirm if there
is any off-site drainage from adjacent properties currently being managed onsite.
HW recommends that the Applicant confirm the drainage areas under existing
conditions.
The Applicant has adequately responded to this comment and has confirmed
the watershed boundaries by conducting a site walk and has updated the
Watershed Map to include off-site topography extending to the south of the
site.
e. The time of concentration (Tc) value utilized for the EX-1 drainage area was
assumed to be 6 minutes. HW recommends that the Tc flow path be shown on the
Existing Watershed Map and calculated, it appears that the lawn area may have a Tc
value longer than 6 minutes.
The Applicant has adequately responded to this comment by reevaluating and
revising the Tc value for EX-1 drainage area.
f. It is not clear from the Proposed Watershed Map how the Applicant delineated the
subwatersheds or which portions are pervious or impervious. HW recommends that
the Proposed Watershed Map include the proposed contours and shading or
hatching of areas of impervious cover. Based on the information provided on the
Layout and Materials Plan and Planting Plan, it appears that the amount of pervious
area is closer to 0.3 acres as compared to the 0.4 acres provided in the HydroCAD
modeling calculations.
The Applicant has partially addressed this comment, the watershed map has
been shaded to indicate pervious areas. HW is not in agreement with the
proposed area listed in the HydroCAD calculations by the Applicant. In the
proposed conditions HydroCAD model, the Applicant has noted 0.53 acres of

pervious cover, HW believes that this area is closer to 0.45 acres. HW
recommends that the Applicant revisit the area provided.
• August 28, 2019: The Applicant has revisited the area and confirmed the
original value presented. HW has no further comment.
g. Under proposed conditions, the Applicant has indicated that the stormwater runoff
from the proposed building roof will be collected via a pipe and directed to a rain
garden system. HW recommends that the Applicant provide a detail of the roof
leaders and means to overflow if the rain garden system backs up.
The Applicant has partially responded to this comment, a detail of the roof
leader overflow method will be provided by the architect.
• August 28, 2019: The Applicant has added spot grades and has
adequately addressed this concern.
h. The Applicant is showing the use of three rain gardens onsite: two to collect overland
flow from the parking lot and another to manage roof runoff. For those collecting
runoff overland, it is not clear how the water is being directed to the curb openings
and into the rain garden. Also, there does not appear to be any pretreatment
provided. HW recommends that the Applicant provide a plan-view detail for these
rain gardens showing pretreatment as required by Standard 3 and the MSH, Volume
2, Chapter 2. For the rain garden collecting roof runoff, there are no invert elevations
provided for the flared end sections.
The Applicant has adequately responded to this comment by providing
additional notations on the plans, a small forebay to the rain garden at the
front of the building and the FES inverts to the eastern rain garden.
i. The Applicant is proposing the use of a subsurface infiltration/detention system to
manage a portion of the site. HW recommends that the Applicant clarify the
following:
i. The Applicant is using an exfiltration rate of 0.27 in/hr, which is consistent
with a Hydrologic Soil Group (HSG) C soil. The test pit at the proposed
subsurface system indicates that soils are of a sandy loam and sandy loam
gravel, which are consistent with HSG B soils. As noted in the MSH, Volume
3, Chapter 1, Page 13, the Applicant should use the HSG group based on
test pit data at the actual site in place of the NRCS data provided.
The Applicant has adequately responded to this comment by updating
the exfiltration rate in the Drainage Report to be consistent with the test
pit data.
ii. The Applicant has not provided elevations of the 12-inch header pipe or the
connecting pipes on the plan or in the detail. The outlet elevations of the
subsurface system should be clearly labeled on the plans and details.
The Applicant has adequately responded to this comment by adding the
outlet elevations of the 12-inch header pipe and the connecting pipes to
Sheet C-2.

iii. The Applicant has indicated that the outlet invert of the 8-inch pipe
(presumably between DMH 6 and DMH 7) is 158 as noted in the HydroCAD
model. However, the outlet invert appears to be 157.6 on the site plan. The
HydroCAD model should be revised to reflect the elevations proposed in the
plans.
The Applicant has adequately responded to this comment by increasing
the 8-inch pipe (between DMH 6 and DMH 7) to a 12-inch pipe and
updating the elevation on Sheet C-2, to be consistent with the
HydroCAD model.
iv. The subsurface system detail provided on Sheet C-5 does not include
information on minimum depth between ground and top of the proposed
subsurface system or the proposed elevation at the bottom of the system,
both which are required to verify the elevations used in the HydroCAD
modeling.
The Applicant has adequately responded to this comment and provided
the elevations of the bottom and top of the proposed subsurface
system to the detail on Sheet C-5.
j. The Applicant is proposing the use of Stormceptor STC 450i for four catch basins.
However, there are no design calculations provided showing that this model has
adequate capacity for the contributing drainage areas, including the water quality
flow rate calculations. HW recommends that the Applicant provide these design
calculations in its drainage report for each of the four proposed proprietary catch
basins.
The Applicant has not addressed this comment. The Applicant suggested that
the proposed catch basin/water quality units proposed will be determined at a
later date after coordinating with the DPW. Sheet C-2 includes notes on catch
basin 2, 4, 5, and 6 that the structures will be 80% TSS removal units. HW is
not aware of a suitable inlet structure that meets this criteria. HW recommends
that the Applicant determine the type of units being proposed prior to approval
from the Planning Board.
• August 28, 2019: The Applicant has adequately addressed this issue
and has provided an additional structure to provide the required TSS
removal.
k. The Applicant has conducted soil evaluations within each of the subsurface systems
and has provided the soil logs in Appendix C of the drainage report. HW requests
that the surface elevations of the test pits within the infiltration systems be added to
the test logs.
The Applicant has adequately responded to this comment and has added the
surface elevations of the test pits to the test pit logs.
I. HW recommends that the Applicant verify that it is providing adequate separation to
groundwater from the bottom of the stone. Furthermore, it is not clear why the
Applicant has chosen a lower infiltration rate than the rate associated with the soil
type documented in the test pits.

The Applicant has adequately responded to this comment and has verified that
2 feet of separation has been provided for the system.
3. Standard 3 requires that the annual recharge from post-development shall approximate
annual recharge from pre-development conditions.
a. In Appendix B of the Drainage Report, the Applicant has provided calculations to
address recharge as required by the MSH and Section 7.2 C of the North Andover
Stormwater Regulations. HW recommends that the Applicant use the total
impervious area within the site under post-development conditions, not only the
increase in total impervious area.
The Applicant has revised the drainage calculations; however, the Applicant
has not provided documentation to verify the provided water quality and
recharge volume. HW recommends that the Applicant provide a stage storage
table illustrating the volume of water that can be stored within the
underground detention system up to elevation 161.65 feet.
• August 28, 2019: The Applicant is providing the required recharge
volume. No further comment is needed.
b. The Applicant has not provided the draw down calculations for the subsurface
system. If the subsurface practice is intended for infiltration, the proposed system
must be able to drain fully within 72 hours as required by Standard 3. HW
recommends that the Applicant provide the required calculations and verify whether
the system will be able to drain within 72 hours.
The Applicant has adequately responded to this comment and has included
the 72-hour drawdown calculations.
c. Under the MSH Volume 3, Chapter 1, page 27, the Applicant is required to direct no
less than 65% of the site's impervious cover to the practices intended to infiltrate the
required recharge volume. Based on the Applicant's HydroCAD modeling reports, it
appears that of the 1 acre of impervious area proposed onsite, 0.4 acres is directed
to the proposed subsurface infiltration/detention system while the remaining 0.6
acres will drain directly to Surrey Drive and the municipal system. HW recommends
that the Applicant adjust the required recharge volume as noted or direct more runoff
to infiltration systems.
The Applicant has indicated that the drainage design has been modified,
however, the Applicant does not direct at least 65% of the site's impervious
area toward a best management practice (BMP). HW recommends that the
Applicant further revise the drainage design to comply with Volume 3, Chapter
1, page 27 of the MSH.
• August 28, 2019: The Applicant has adequately addressed this
comment and provided additional documentation from the adjacent
project to support its design.
4. Standard 4 requires that the stormwater system be designed to remove 80% Total
Suspended Solids (TSS) and to treat 0.5-inch of volume from the impervious area for water
quality.

a. TSS removal calculations are provided in Appendix B of the Drainage Report include
the use of street sweeping for TSS removal credit. In the MSH, Volume 2, Chapter
1, guidance states that a removal rate of 5% requires quarterly cleaning using one of
three types of sweepers. However, in the Applicant's Operation and Maintenance
Plan on Page 28 of the Drainage Report, the Applicant suggests cleaning on a
semiannual basis.
The Applicant has revised the Operation and Maintenance Plan to require
quarterly sweeping, however, TSS removal spreadsheets are not included in
the Drainage Report. HW recommends that TSS removal spreadsheets be
added to the report and that the Applicant ensures that the Town agrees with
the proposed street sweeping schedule prior to taking credit for it.
• August 28, 2019: The Applicant has adequately addressed this
comment.
b. In addition, the Applicant states that hand sweeping and hand held leaf blowers can
be an alternative to street sweeping. HW recommends that the Applicant discuss
with the Town the recommended O&M procedures and confirm whether a street
sweeping credit is applicable for TSS reductions.
The Applicant has adequately responded to this comment by removing the
reference to hand sweeping and handheld leaf blowers.
c. The TSS calculations provide an assumed TSS reduction for the proposed
proprietary devices (Stormceptor STC 450i). HW recommends that the Applicant
provide supporting calculations from the manufacturer to ensure that the TSS
reduction is adequate to meet Standard 4. Furthermore, MassDEP has provided
guidance stating that when the STC4501 is utilized as an inlet catch basin only 25%
TSS removal is accepted practice. HW recommends that the Applicant revisit the
proposed stormwater treatment practices.
The Applicant has not addressed this comment. The Applicant suggested that
the proposed catch basin/water quality units proposed will be determined at a
later date after coordinating with the DPW. Sheet C-2 includes notes on catch
basin 2, 4, 5, and 6 that the structures will be 80% TSS removal units. HW is
not aware of a suitable inlet structure that meets this criteria. HW recommends
that the Applicant determine the type of units being proposed prior to approval
from the Planning Board.
• August 28, 2019: The Applicant has adequately addressed this issue
and has provided an additional structure to provide the required TSS
removal.
d. The Applicant has provided TSS reduction for one treatment train (for subwatershed
PR-1B) but has not provided a calculation for subwatershed PR-1A. HW
recommends that the Applicant provide the TSS calculations for the catchment areas
which include driveways and parking areas.
The Applicant has indicated that subcatchment area PR-1A has been analyzed
for TSS removal and added to the report, however, it does not appear that the
Applicant has included any additional TSS removal calculations for

subcatchment PRAA. HW recommends that the Applicant revisit the original
comment and revise the report as necessary.
• August 28, 2019: The Applicant has adequately responded to this
comment and provided the requested documentation.
e. As noted above in comment 2a, HW recommends that the Applicant provide the
analysis for the 0.5-inch storm as required under the North Andover Stormwater
Regulations under Section 7.2B.b.
The Applicant has adequately responded to this comment and has included
the 0.5-inch analysis in the revised Drainage Report.
5. Standard 5 is related to projects with a Land Use of Higher Potential Pollutant Loads
(LUHPPL).
a. The proposed development is not considered a LUHPPL therefore, Standard 5 is not
applicable to this project.
No further comment is necessary.
6. Standard 6 is related to projects with stormwater discharging into a critical area, a Zone 11 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 and
therefore Standard 6 is not applicable to this project.
No further comment is necessary.
7. Standard 7 is related to projects considered Redevelopment.
a. The proposed development is considered a new development with an increase of
impervious area, therefore Standard 7 is not applicable.
No further comment is necessary.
8. Standard 8 requires a plan to control construction related impacts including erosion,
sedimentation or other pollutant sources.
a. On Sheet C-1, the Applicant appears to be showing silt soxx placed at the limit of
work on the north west and a majority of the south side of the limit of work, with the
exception of the limit of work located within the 505 Sutton Street Development. A
detail is provided on Sheet C-4. HW recommends that the Applicant clarify in the
legend the different line types shown for limit of work and limit of work with silt soxx.
The Applicant has included the limit of disturbance and silt soxx line on Sheet
C-2. The construction sequencing has not been coordinated at this time but
will need to be completed prior to any land disturbance. HW recommends that
an orange snow I construction fence be placed at the southern property
boundary as a visual indicator to the construction operators.
• August 28, 2019: The Applicant has added the construction snow fence
along the southern property boundary as requested.

b. The Applicant mentions tree protection and silt fence in the O&M plan on page 30;
however, these sediment and erosion control measures are not shown on the plans.
HW recommends that the Applicant confirm the location of these items on the plans.
The Applicant has changed the silt fence to silt soxx on the plan. The
Applicant has not included a tree protection detail in the plan set, HW
recommends that a tree protection detail be added.
• August 28, 2019: The Applicant has added the tree protection detail as
requested,
c. In the Drainage Report, under Section 5, the Applicant states that in regard to
Standard 8, additional coordination is necessary to determine the sediment and
erosion control measures with the adjacent development, 505 Sutton Street. Also, in
the O&M plan on page 30 the Applicant states that during construction the contractor
shall present a plan for vehicle entrances and washout areas. HW recommends that
the Applicant provide an erosion and sediment control plan as outlined in the North
Andover Stormwater Regulations under Section 8.1. The plan should include, if
applicable, phasing of work with the 505 Sutton Street development, particularly at
the shared limit of work area. HW recommends that the plan address: materials and
methods for protecting the municipal drainage system on Surrey Drive, protecting
trees to remain in the right-of-way on Surrey Drive and Sutton Street, locations and
details for construction entrances and washout areas, locations and details for
sediment/material stockpiles, dust control and other items as required by this
standard.
The Applicant has not provided the erosion and sediment control plan as
outlined in the North Andover Regulations and coordinated with the
development at 505 Sutton Street. A condition that includes the coordination,
phasing, construction entrances, and responsibilities may be acceptable to the
Planning Board.
• August 28, 2019: The Applicant has provided an explanation regarding
the coordination of the erosion controls and the construction phasing.
The Planning Board may choose to add a condition regarding this
coordination.
9. Standard 9 requires a long-term operation and maintenance plan shall be developed and
implemented to ensure that stormwater management systems function as designed.
a. In the O&M Plan provided on page 28 of the Drainage Report, the Applicant refers to
the manufacturer's specifications for cleaning, but does not reference the
attachment.
The Applicant has indicated that when the TSS removal structure is
determined by the DPW, the manufacture's data sheets will be provided with
maintenance requirements. HW recommends that the Applicant provide the
requested information as soon as it is determined.
• August 28, 2019: The Applicant has provided the requested
documentation.

b. Further, the Applicant states that the `water quality units will be cleaned during the
same schedule as the catch basins'. HW recommends that the Applicant clearly
state the frequency of cleaning as required by the manufacturer's specifications or
recommendations. Also, the Applicant should specify what equipment is required for
cleaning these units. The manufacturer states that maintenance is performed with a
standard vacuum truck, whereas typical catch basin cleaning can be done with
clamshell buckets.
The Applicant has indicated that when the TSS removal structure is
determined by the DPW, the manufacture's data sheets will be provided with
maintenance requirements. HW recommends that the Applicant provide the
requested information as soon as it is determined.
• August 28, 2019: The Applicant has provided the requested
documentation.
c. The Applicant does not specify the frequency for inspection and/or maintenance for
the proposed rain gardens. Further, many of the maintenance activities outlined in
the MSH, Volume 2, Chapter 2 for rain gardens and bioretention areas are not
discussed here, such as vegetation management or the repair of eroded areas. HW
recommends that the Applicant clarify the O&M procedures for rain gardens.
The Applicant has noted that the O&M Plan will be coordinated with the Town
of North Andover. HW finds this acceptable however we believe that the
designer should provide guidance to the Town operating the site. Maintaining
rain gardens is not difficult however HW has witnessed many DPWs decide
that it is easier to mow grass then to weed a rain garden and the gardens are
eliminated. HW supports the installation of the rain gardens as a low impact
development green infrastructure practice. HW recommends that the Town
confirm that the rain gardens will be installed prior to approval of the project.
• August 28, 2019: The Applicant has added the operation and
maintenance of the rain garden to the O&M Plan as requested.
d. The Applicant has outlined the O&M for the pervious patio pavers. The pavers are
not shown on the plans. The O&M states that that a leaf blower be used at least
twice a year for cleaning of debris. HW recommends that the Applicant also address
the activities and equipment potentially required if there is ponding, weeding or a
covering of the paver joints.
Similar to the rain gardens, HW recommends that the Town confirm the
installation of the permeable pavers prior to approval of the project.
• August 28, 2019: The Applicant has added the operation and
maintenance of the pervious pavers to the O&M Plan as requested.
e. The Applicant states that the subsurface detention/infiltration system can be
accessed by the manholes at the corner of the system. However, these manholes
are not within or in-line with the system for proper jetting or vacuuming. HW
recommends that clean out ports for the proposed subsurface system should be
included, both in the plan and on the detail, with appropriate labels. Also, the

Applicant should also outline the timeframe for inspections and cleanouts in the O&M
Plan.
The Applicant has adequately responded to this comment and added
additional detail to the plans for the infiltration system.
f. The Applicant has provided a long-term O&M Plan in the Drainage Report. The O&M
Plan should be a standalone document and include a simple sketch to clearly
indicate the location of all stormwater practices to be inspected as well as locations
for snow storage. HW recommends that the Applicant include a simple sketch that
will be provided to the property owner.
HW recommends that the O&M Plan with a simple sketch and maintenance log
be provided to the operator of the property for acceptance and signature prior
to approval from the Planning Board.
• August 28, 2019: The Applicant has added the simple sketch to the O&M
Plan as requested.
g. The Applicant has not provided an inspection and maintenance schedule with routine
and non-routine tasks to be performed of the systems as required by Section 9.1A of
the North Andover Stormwater Regulations.
HW recommends that the inspection and maintenance schedule be provided to
the operator of the property for acceptance and signature prior to approval
from the Planning Board.
h. HW recommends that the property owner sign the O&M Plan in accordance with the
North Andover Stormwater Regulations.
HW recommends that the final ownership of the property be determined prior
to approval from the Planning Board.
• August 28, 2019: The Planning Board may choose to condition a signed
O&M Plan prior to land disturbance.
10. Standard 10 requires that an Illicit Discharge Compliance Statement be provided.
a. The Applicant provided an Illicit Discharge Compliance Statement to be signed by
the owner on page 19 of the Drainage Report. HW recommends that the illicit
discharge statement be signed by the property owner prior to land disturbance.
HW recommends that the final ownership of the property be determined prior
to approval from the Planning Board and that a signed illicit discharge
compliance be provided.
• August 28, 2019: The Planning Board may choose to condition a signed
illicit discharge statement prior to land disturbance.
11. Miscellaneous Comments:
a. HW has noted the following inconsistencies in the Checklist for Stormwater Report in
comparing it to the Applicant's Drainage Report:
i. The Applicant has not noted the method they are using to size the infiltration
