Re: North Andover Senior Center
Response to Review Comments
Dear Ms. Enright and Members of the Planning Board,
This letter has been prepared in response to all of the review comments received from the second
submission of the above referenced project with the Planning Board.
The following are our responses with the review comments shown in regular type and our
responses in bold type.
Accompanying these comments are revised Site Plans, supporting documents and Drainage
Report supplements all dated August 27, 2019.
COMMENTS RECEIVED FROM NORTH ANDOVER DPW JOHN J BORGESI, PE DATED
AUGUST 15,2019
1. The Engineering Department still does not recommend the proposed circulation pattern
and recommends allowing the ability to exit the site via either the shared driveway onto
Sutton Street or Surrey Drive onto Sutton Street. As previously stated, due to the curve of
Sutton Street there is increased site distance when exiting the site via the shared driveway
onto Sutton Street.
DZI Response: The circulation patterns and exit design continues to be discussed and presented to
the Planning Board in consult with the traffic engineer.
2. A call out shall be added to Sheet C-2 indicating that a saddle shall be used for the
proposed sewer service connection to the existing sewer main.
DZI Response: A note indicating this requirement has been added to Sheet C-2 at the connection
location.
3. The callout where the drainage system exits onto Surrey Drive shall be modified to
indicate in addition a new proposed drain manhole shall be installed at the final
connection point.
DZI Response: A new proposed drain manhole has been added to Sheet C-2 as requested.
COMMENTS RECEIVED FROM TEC PETER F.ELLISON,PE,DATED AUGUSST 6,2019
1
60. Site Signage - TEC recommends that a 2nd "Do Not Enter" sign be installed on the opposite
side of the site driveway.
DZI Response: A second "Do Not Enter" sign has been added to Sheet C-1 as suggested.
61. Sewer calculations - TEC recommends that the Board include the sewer calculations as a
condition of approval.
DZI Response: MA Title V 310 15.203 (System Sewage Flow Design Criteria) has no specific
category for a Senior Center. Based on experience on similar projects and reference to other
commercial/institutional listed within Title V, it is estimated and agreed to by the project architect
and plumbing engineer that the maximum number of users at the biggest event is 200 people X 5
GPD/person would yield 1,OOOGPD based on Title V criteria.
65. Parking calculations - TEC defers to the Town of North Andover Building Inspector to
determine if adequate parking is provided for this use.
DZI Response: Acknowledged
66. Photometric plan - TEC recommends that a revised Photometric Plan be required as a condition of
approval.
DZI Response: Two new lights have been added and a revised plan has been prepared.
COMMENTS RECEIVED FROM HORSLEY WITTEN GROUP INC. JANET CARTER
BERNARDO, PE DATED JULY 30,2019
Stormwater Management Design Peer Review
The comments shown below in shaded text have been acknowledged by HWG Inc. as being
addressed.
1. Standard 1 states that no new storrnwater conveyances (e.g. otgtf lls) Ino.),discharge
untreated stornnnrater directly to or cause erosion in iretla.nds or n,aters of the
Cornnonn)ealth.
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
2
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.
DZI Response: The existing conditions survey plan showing the drain lines is being provided by the
Town of North Andover and is in process of being updated with the drain line. The drainage
analysis shows that there is not an increase to the system. The drain line within Surrey Drive enters
the drainage system on Sutton Street at the intersection. It is understood that the residential
project's engineer is providing the analysis of this system within their application and it is
respectfully suggested that analysis will provide adequate response to the off-site drainage routes
2. Standard 2 requires that stormwatei-mmzageanerit systems shall he designed so thou post-
developn?ent peak discharge rates do aiot exceed pre-development peals 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 Te flow path be shown on the Existing
Watershed Map and calculated, it appears that the lawn area may have a Te value
longer than 6 minutes.
3
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.
DZI Response: The area in questions was recalculated and confirmed to be 0.53 acres
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.
DZI Response: A spot shot at the driveway curb (top 165.3 and bottom 164.8) located near the rain
garden has been added to Sheet C-2. This spot is the highest elevation that the rain garden can rise
without flowing out and into the curbed gutter of the drive. The FFE elevation of the building and
associated grades of the downspout collection system outside the building where the downspout
enters into the system.is 167.2 which is almost 2 feet higher than where the basin can rise to. The
roof drains cannot back up at the connection points at the roof down spout and underground
piping.
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 cletail 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 continent 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 subsru•face infiltration/detention system to
manage a portion of the site. HW recommends that the Applicant clarify the
4
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 fl-
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.
5
DZI Response: Attached are separate calculations for the STC450i Stormceptor inlets and the
CDS1515-3 in line structure showing the flow and water quality analyses. The CDS1513-3 structure
has been added to the design to address the 80%TSS water quality effectiveness and the
manufacturer's analysis has been included.
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 etevations 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 front post-development shall approximate
annual recharge front 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 NorthAndover
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.
DZI Response: The stage storage table is now attached. The water quality calculations are also now
attached per response above.
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
6
the Applicant adjust the required recharge volume as noted or direct morerunoff 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.
DZI Response: The Senior Center project within the drainage divide analyzed captures 63% of the
total impervious surfaces (or 850 sq ft less than 65%). The actual property lines for the Senior
Center extend past the drainage divide and into the residential development area as was decided at
the beginning of the project with the town during the masterplanning efforts.According to the
residential developments, engineer their drainage divide captures 65.85% of the impervious which
provides an additional 870 square feet of impervious area infiltrated.In summary, the residential
project slightly over infiltrated and the senior project slightly under infiltrated but collectively the
65% requirement has been met. See correspondence below for verification:

Hi Jim,
I've included our Stormwater Calculations as well, approximately 65.85% of the impervious area in our
watershed will be recharged to groundwater(approximately 870 SF more than the 65% requirement) .
Please let me know if you need anything else.
Thank you,

4. Standard 4 requires that the storrnwater 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 removals 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.
DZI Response: The spreadsheets have been added for the town to sweep 4 times per year.
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
7
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 STC450I is utilized as an inlet catch basin only25%
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
DZI Response: As per above, attached are separate calculations for the STC450i Stormceptor inlets
and the CDS1515-3 in line structure showing the flow and water quality analyses. The CDS1513-3
structure has been added to the design to address the 80%TSS water quality effectiveness. . The
TSS calculations include the 450i units with a 50% reduction as the contributing areas are small as
discussed so the revised calculations are between the 80% manufacturer's analysis and the
recognizing that the DEP does not fully accept the 80% so the 50% is in the middle for the analysis.
Also noted is that although the larger water quality unit addresses the 80% TSS removal without
the need for the 450i individual units, the 450i units have been left in the design for an added
measure of cleansing and consistency for the DPW.
d. The Applicant has provided TSS reduction for one treatment train (for subwatershed
PR-1B) but has not provided a calculation for subwatershed PR-IA. 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-lA 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 PR-IA. HW
recommends that the Applicant revisit the original comment and revise the report as
necessary.
DZI Response: Catchment areas 1A and 1B are now included in the TSS worksheets separately.
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. Stondord 5 is related to projects with a Land Use of Higher Potential Pollutant
Loads (LUHPPL).
8
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 stormwoter discharging into a critical area, a Zone H
or an Interim Wellhead Protection Area of a.public iva.tersuppl�),.
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 cori side red 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 siltsoxx.
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/
construction fence be placed at the southern property boundary as a visual indicator
to the construction operators.
DZI Response: The orange snow/construction fence has been added to Sheet C-lalong the southern
boundary as suggested.
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.
DZI Response: A tree protection detail has been added to Sheet C-4 as suggested.
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
9
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.
DZI Response: At this time, the construction schedule and responsibilities are in flux related to the
demolition of the houses, the filling of the foundations and the general earthwork of the project with
a masterplanning effort. It is respectfully recommended that rather than assume responsibilities,
schedules, entrances and contractors, this phase of the project associated with construction be
conditioned with a plan to be prepared after it has been decided and BEFORE construction which is
acceptable to the town to provide the best outcome for the town during the public bidding and
construction process. As discussed and requested, a note on Sheet Cl has been added expressing this
on plan.
9. Standard 9 requires a long-term operation and maintenance plan shall be developed and
implemented to ensure that stormwater inanagement 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. flW recommends that the Applicant provide the requested
information as soon as it is determined.
DZI Response: The water quality structure data is now provided within the O&M plan.
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.
DZI Response: The water quality structure data is now provided within the O&M plan.
10
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.
DZI Response: The maintenance recommendations are now provided within the O&M plan.
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.
DZI Response: The pervious paver detail is now included on Sheet C-4 and referenced within the
O&M Plan.
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 tinieframe for inspections and cleatiouts 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.
DZI Response: A drawing and form has been provided and are attached.
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.
11
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.
DZI Response: An inspection and maintenance log has been provided.
10. Standard IO requires that an Illicit Discharge Compliance Statenent 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
DZI Response: Ownership and signoff is in process of being worked out with the town.
11. Miscellaneous Continents:
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
BMPs (page 23).
DZI Response: Simple Dynamic has been used and is now checked on the checklist box.
ii. The Applicant has stated that runoff from all impervious areas at the site are
discharging to the infiltration BMP. However, only a portion of the site
(subwatershed PR-lA) is draining to the proposed subsurface
detention/infiltration system.
DZI Response: Correct. PR-113 is discharging through the water quality units only. This has
been clarified on the checklist.
iii. The Applicant has stated that a TMDL exists and that documentation has been
provided to address the TMDL(page 25). However, no such discussion or
documentation is provided in the Drainage Report.
HW has not received a revised Stormwater Checklist for review.
DZI Response: A revised checklist has been attached.
b. HW noted that some drainage pipe diameters and materials were not shown on the
plan. HW recommends that the Applicant provide a drainpipe schedule and
calculations showing that the pipes have adequate capacity to convey the proposed
flows.
The Applicant has adequately responded to this comment and has provided pipe
calculations in the revised Drainage Report.
c. The Applicant should clearly identify the locations of seeding and provide callouts

• Operation and Maintenance Plan required by Standard 9
In addition to all plans and supporting information, the Stormwater Report must include a brief narrative
describing stormwater management practices, including environmentally sensitive site design and LID
techniques, along with a diagram depicting runoff through the proposed BMP treatment train. Plans are
required to show existing and proposed conditions, identify all wetland resource areas, NRCS soil types,
critical areas, Land Uses with Higher Potential Pollutant Loads(LUHPPL), and any areas on the site
where infiltration rate is greater than 2.4 inches per hour. The Plans shall identify the drainage areas for
both existing and proposed conditions at a scale that enables verification of supporting calculations.
As noted in the Checklist, the Stormwater Management Report shall document compliance with each of
the Stormwater Management Standards as provided in the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook. The
soils evaluation and calculations shall be done using the methodologies set forth in Volume 3 of the
Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook.
To ensure that the Stormwater Report is complete, applicants are required to fill in the Stormwater Report
Checklist by checking the box to indicate that the specified information has been included in the
Stormwater Report. If any of the information specified in the checklist has not been submitted, the
