Ref: Third Stormwater Peer Review
Merrimack MAC Storage Building
North Andover, Massachusetts
Dear Ms. Enright 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 Stormwater Management Report and
Site Plan for the proposed Merrimack College MAC Storage Building at 315 Turnpike Street,
North Andover, MA. The plans and stormwater report were prepared by VHB on behalf of
Merrimack College (Applicant). The project proposes the construction of a 3,200 square foot (sf)
storage building to house athletic equipment on 0.4 acres of land within the Merrimack College
campus. The stormwater management for the proposed storage building includes a shallow
infiltration basin. The project is considered a mix of new and redevelopment. The Applicant will
increase the impervious surface by 1,700 sf of roof top and reduce the vehicular pavement area
by approximately 1,500 sf. The proposed project is located within the 100-foot buffer zones from
two wetland resource areas and will require an Order of Conditions from the North Andover
Conservation Commission.
The following additional documents and plans were received by HW in response to our August
16, 2022 second peer review:

Stormwater Management Design Peer Review
HW offers the following comments concerning the stormwater management design as per the
Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook (MSH) dated February 2008, and the North Andover
Chapter 250 Stormwater Management and Erosion Control Regulations (Stormwater
Regulations), and Chapter 165 Stormwater Management and Erosion Control Bylaw (Bylaw).
In accordance with North Andover Stormwater Regulations, Article V, Applicability §250-09. B. if
a project will disturb less than 43,560 sf but is part of a larger common plan a land disturbance
permit is required. In accordance with North Andover Stormwater Regulations, Article VII,
Stormwater Management Plan §250-21. B. a project is required to comply at a minimum with
the most recent version of the MSH. Therefore, we have used the MSH as the basis for
organizing our comments. However, in instances where the additional criteria established in
§250-22 of the North Andover Code requires further recommendations; we have referenced
these as well.
The comments below correlate with our July 21, 2022 initial peer review. Comments in
bold font correlate with our August 16, 2022 second peer review. Follow up comments in
bold underlined font correlate with this third peer review.
1. Standard 1: 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 is proposing an overflow stone spillway located approximately 50 feet
from the resource area. The velocity from the overflow weir is less than 2 feet per
second (fps). It appears that no new stormwater conveyances will discharge untreated
stormwater directly to wetlands or waters of the Commonwealth.
HW has no further comment.
b. The Applicant has provided a stormwater narrative. However, it is not clear that the plan
set matches the narrative. For example, the narrative describes complying with Standard
1 by providing outlet pipes with flared end sections, however it appears that the
proposed pipes discharge into the infiltration basin, so the statement is not relevant to
the wetlands. The narrative also describes a filter strip associated with the infiltration
basin. However, the filter strip is not obvious on the plan set. HW recommends that the
Applicant clarify the proposed design and confirm that the narrative is consistent with the
site plans.
The Applicant has revised the narrative to be consistent with the site plans. HW
has no further comment.
c. The Applicant has described the proposed stormwater basin as an infiltration basin.
However, the Applicant has not included an exfiltration rate as part of the HydroCAD
model. The geotechnical report indicates that the soil should not be expected to drain
well. HW recommends that the Applicant clarify the type of stormwater practice
proposed.
The Applicant has not used an exfiltration rate for the infiltration basin to be
conservative. HW has no further comment.

2. Standard 2: 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 the Existing and Proposed Drainage Conditions figures. The
Applicant has indicated that there is one design point (DP-1) at wetland series WF1.
However, it appears that under existing conditions a portion of the site may flow towards
wetland series WF2. Under proposed conditions the same area may continue to flow
towards wetland series WF2 though it is difficult to confirm with the grading provided.
HW recommends that the Applicant confirm the existing and proposed drainage areas.
The Applicant has provided new Existing and Proposed Drainage Conditions
figures which show a portion of the site also flowing to WF2. HW has the following
additional comments about the Existing Drainage Conditions Figure:
i. The Time of Concentration (Tc) flow path for the roadway flows towards
WF1. However, it appears that existing curbing separates the roadway from
the grass area that drains to WF1. HW recommends that the Applicant
explain how the runoff will reach WF1 or add a drainage boundary at the
curb that separates the roadway from the grass area.
8/19/22: The Applicant has confirmed that water flows over the edge of
pavement to WF1 for a portion of the roadway. The Applicant has revised
the existing drainage figure and associated HydroCAD model to include a
third design point that reflects the portion of the area that flows towards
the catch basins in the adjacent parking lot. HW has no further comment.
ii. Unless there is a break in the existing curb, it appears that the runoff from
a large portion of the existing pavement area flows to the catch basins
located in the southwestern corners of the adjacent parking lot. HW
suggests that the Applicant consider adding a third design point for this
area which flows to the catch basins and clarify where the catch basins
discharge to or justify the catchment areas provided.
8/19/22: The Applicant has revised the existing drainage figure and
associated HydroCAD model to include a third design point that reflects
the portion of the area that flows towards the catch basins in the adjacent
parking lot. HW has no further comment.
iii. It appears that the impervious portion of Drainage Area 2 flows in the
easterly direction over the pavement. HW recommends that the Applicant
verify that this portion of the pavement does flow to WF2.
8/19/22: The Applicant has verified that the impervious portion of Drainage
Area 2 flows to WF2. HW has no further comment.
HW has the following comments about the Proposed Drainage Conditions Figure:
i. It appears that the roadway portion west of the trench drain flows to the
catch basins located in the southwestern corners of the adjacent parking
lot unless there is a break in the curbing as noted above. HW recommends
adding a third design point for this area which flows to the catch basins.
HW also recommends that the Applicant add a drainage boundary at the

existing curb that separates the roadway from the grass area.
8/19/22: The Applicant has revised the proposed drainage figure and
associated HydroCAD model to include a third design point and Drainage
Area 31, which reflects the portion of the area that flows towards the catch
basins in the adjacent parking lot. HW has no further comment.
ii. It appears that the impervious portion of Drainage Area 13 flows in the
easterly direction over the pavement similar to existing conditions. HW
recommends that the Applicant verify that this portion of the roadway does
flow to WF2. The existing and proposed conditions are very similar, so the
final design point is not critical to the design.
8/19/22: The Applicant has verified that the impervious portion of Drainage
Area 21 (formerly 13) flows to WF2. HW has no further comment.
b. In accordance with §250-22 B. (6) a summary of pre- and post-development peak rates
and volumes of stormwater demonstrating no adverse impacts should be provided as
part of the narrative. The Applicant has provided the peak flows but not the peak
volumes for the 2-year, 10-year, 25-year, and 100-year storm events. HW recommends
that the Applicant add the peak volumes to Table 4 in the narrative.
The Applicant has added peak volumes in Table 5 in the narrative. This table
indicates that peak volumes increase minimally to Design Point 2. The increase
can be considered insignificant. No further action needed.
c. HW recommends that the Applicant revise the HydroCAD model assuming all pervious
lands in the site are in good hydrologic condition in accordance with the North Andover
Stormwater Regulations §250-23 E. (17).
The Applicant has modified the HydroCAD model to assume all pervious lands in
the site are in good hydrologic condition. HW has no further comment.
d. HW recommends that the Applicant use precipitation values equal to or greater than the
values provided by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Atlas 14
for the 24-hour storm events, as outlined in §250-23 E. (19).
The Applicant has revised the HydroCAD model to use the NOAA Atlas 14
precipitation values. HW has no further comment.
e. As noted above the Applicant references a filter strip in the narrative but it is not obvious
on the plan set. HW recommends that the Applicant provide a detail of the stormwater
basin and clearly indicate the location and size of the filter strip or revise the narrative
accordingly.
The previously proposed filter strip has been removed from the design and
replaced with a sediment forebay for pretreatment of the infiltration basin. HW has
no further comment.
f. Per §250-23 E. (25) Stormwater basins shall be sized to accommodate the 100-year
storm event with a minimum of one foot of freeboard. The Applicant has documented
that the proposed stormwater basin provides 0.02 feet of freeboard during a 100-year
storm event. The proposed basin is approximately 1.0 foot deep. The Applicant may

want to reconsider the stormwater practice proposed and consider installing a
bioretention area instead of a detention basin.
The Applicant has revised the size of the proposed infiltration basin and provided
the freeboard calculations in Appendix D of the Stormwater Report. HW has no
further comment.
g. The Applicant has indicated a 4-inch perforated pipe that is approximately 90 feet long to
be installed approximately one foot below the surface, along the north side of the
proposed storage building. The Applicant has also provided an Underdrain detail on
Sheet C5.00. The Underdrain detail does not include a pipe diameter or a depth of
cover. It is not clear if the 4-inch perforated pipe is considered an underdrain, or a
perimeter drain that will capture the roof runoff that sheet flows off the back of the
building. HW recommends that the Applicant provide a detail for the 4-inch perforated
drainpipe and clarify where the underdrain will be installed. HW further recommends that
the Applicant add cleanouts to the 4-inch perforated pipe.
The 4-inch perforated pipe is an underdrain that will capture roof runoff that sheet
flows off the back of the building. The Applicant has revised the underdrain detail
to include the layout and dimensions. The Applicant has also added a cleanout to
the underdrain. HW has no further comment.
h. On the Proposed Drainage Conditions Figure 3 and the Layout and Materials Plan
(C2.00) the Applicant has included a Drip Strip around three sides of the proposed
building. HW recommends that the Applicant provide a detail for the Drip Strip and
include its function in the Stormwater Report.
The Applicant has provided a detail for the Drip Strip and explained its function in
the Regulatory Compliance section (page 11) of the Stormwater Report. HW has
no further comment.
i. HW recommends that the Applicant confirm that no runoff from the existing Merrimack
Athletic Center will flow towards the proposed infiltration basin.
The Applicant has confirmed that no runoff from the existing Merrimack Athletic
Center will flow towards the proposed infiltration basin. HW has no further
comment.
3. Standard 3 requires that the annual recharge from post-development shall approximate
annual recharge from pre-development conditions.
a. The Applicant has noted that the proposed project is providing recharge to the maximum
extent practicable due to poor soils and high groundwater. Per§250-23 E. (14) The
Planning Board may alter or eliminate the recharge volume requirements if the site is
situated in unsuitable material. The regulations state that nonstructural practices
including filter strips that treat roof top or parking lot runoff should be implemented to the
maximum extent practicable. It appears that the Applicant has proposed a filter (drip)
strip to capture the roof runoff however it has not been explained, detailed, or sized
adequately. HW recommends that the Applicant revisit the design and provide additional
information regarding the strip (drip) filter proposed.
The Applicant has proposed an underdrain to capture roof runoff from the

proposed storage building. It is equipped with a drip strip to help stabilize the
ground. The Applicant has provided a detail for the underdrain and drip strip on
Sheet C-5.01 of the Plan Set. HW has no further comment.
b. The Applicant has provided a geotechnical report detailing that the soil should not be
expected to drain well. HW defers to the Planning Board the elimination of the recharge
requirements.
HW has no further comment.
4. Standard 4 requires that the stormwater system be designed to remove 80% Total
Suspended Solids (TSS) and to treat 1-inch of volume from the impervious area for water
quality.
a. The Applicant has provided a TSS work sheet claiming 80% TSS removal for an
infiltration basin. HW notes that to receive 80% credit pretreatment is required. HW
recommends that the Applicant provide adequate pretreatment for the roadway runoff
discharging into the infiltration basin. HW further notes that a dry detention basin does
not receive any TSS removal credit. As noted previously the Applicant may choose to
revisit the stormwater practice proposed.
The Applicant has added a forebay as pre-treatment to the infiltration basin,
satisfying 80% TSS removal requirement. HW has no further comment.
b. The Applicant has provided a flared end section detail on Sheet C5.00. However, the
detail does not include any dimensions. HW recommends that the Applicant add the
applicable dimensions for the stone apron and pipe diameter.
The Applicant has added the dimension for the stone apron and pipe diameter to
the flared end section detail on Sheet C-5.01.
c. The Applicant has noted in its narrative that the proposed stormwater system has been
designed to treat one-half inch of water quality volume. Per§250-23 B. (1)(b) new
developments are required to retain the volume of runoff equivalent to one inch
multiplied by the total post-construction impervious surface. Per§250-23 C. (1)(b)
redevelopment projects are required to retain the volume of runoff equivalent to 0.8
inches multiplied by the total post-construction impervious surface. Per §250-23 C. (2)
when both new development and redevelopment are proposed for a project site, the
redevelopment and new development work shall be conducted per the applicable
regulations. HW recommends that the Applicant review the proposed design and confirm
compliance with §250-23 Design and Performance Criteria.
The Applicant has provided the requested calculations and has provided the
applicable water quality volume. HW has no further comment.
5. Standard 5 is related to projects with a Land Use of Higher Potential Pollutant Loads
(LUHPPL).
a. The proposed Athletic Storage Building is not considered a LUHPPL. HW recommends
that the Applicant confirm that the school campus in the vicinity of the Storage Building is
not considered a LUHHPL per the anticipated traffic volume in the area.
The Applicant has confirmed that the school campus in the vicinity of the

proposed Storage Building is not considered a LUHPPL. HW has no further
comment.
6. Standard 6 is related to projects with stormwater discharging into a critical area, a Zone ll, or
an Interim Wellhead Protection Area of a public water supply.
a. The proposed development is not discharging near or into a critical area, Zone II or an
IWPA area. Therefore, Standard 6 is not applicable.
HW has no further comment.
7. Standard 7 is related to projects considered Redevelopment.
a. The proposed project is considered a mix of new development and redevelopment. The
Applicant is required to comply with §250-23 C. (2) of the North Andover Stormwater
Regulations. HW recommends that the Applicant confirm compliance with the recently
amended stormwater regulations.
The Applicant has provided the requested calculations and documented
compliance. HW has no further comment.
8. Standard 8 requires a plan to control construction related impacts including erosion,
sedimentation, or other pollutant sources.
a. The Applicant has proposed a staked silt fence with a straw wattle around the limit of
work as shown on the Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan (Sheet C-3.00).
Other erosion control devices are noted in the Stormwater Report (Appendix D, Section
F) including hay bales barriers, catch basin protection, and construction entrance/exit.
HW recommends that the Applicant include locations for inlet protection and the
construction entrance on Sheet C3.00.
The Applicant has added catch basin inlet protection for two catch basins and a
stabilized construction entrance to Sheet C-3.00 and corresponding details to
Sheet C-5.02. HW has no further comment.
b. HW recommends that the Applicant provide a detail for the inlet protection, noting it
should be provided in any catch basin within 100 feet of the limit of work.
The Applicant has provided an inlet protection detail to Sheet C-5.02 of the Plan
Set. HW recommends that the Applicant include inlet protection for the trench
drain during construction once it is installed.
8119/22: The Applicant has added a note to Sheet C3.00 about inlet protection for
the proposed trench drain during construction. HW has no further comment.
c. HW recommends that the Applicant clearly delineate the project's limit of work on all
sheets.
The Applicant has delineated the project's limit of work on the plan set. HW
recommends that the Applicant include the construction entrance and laydown
area within the limit of work. Furthermore, HW recommends that the Applicant
clarify if the grading for contours 243 and 244 are being adjusted under proposed
conditions.

8119/22: The Applicant has revised the limit of work to include the construction
entrance and laydown area. The Applicant has also clarified in a note on Sheet
C3.00 that the proposed 243 and 244 contours should tie into existing grade with a
maximum of a 3:1 slope. HW has no further comment.
d. HW recommends that the Applicant extend the silt sock/silt fence barrier line along the
northern and western edge of the existing bituminous parking lot so that it contains any
runoff from construction activity between the proposed storage building area and the
proposed stockpile area. HW further recommends that the Applicant add an erosion
control barrier around the laydown and stockpile area.
The silt sock/silt fence barrier has been extended around the perimeter of the
parking lot, and a silt sock has been added around the perimeter of the stockpile
area on Sheet C-3.00 of the Plan Set. HW has no further comment.
e. It appears that the storage building is proposed within an existing tree line. HW
recommends that the Applicant locate any trees within the limit of disturbance with a
diameter greater than 10 inches per §250-23. A. (7). HW recommends that the Applicant
confirm whether the critical root zones (CRZs) of any large trees will be impacted by the
proposed development; construction activity over CRZs will potentially damage the root
systems of trees and cause long-term degradation of the tree's health. HW further
recommends that any trees in the area of the limit of work proposed to be protected are
clearly marked in the field and a tree protection detail is added to the plan set.
The Applicant has proposed a field verification walk after the stormwater
management design is approved. The Planning Board and/or Conservation
Commission may choose to include this site walk as a condition of approval.
f. HW recommends that the Applicant add a note stating, prior to any land disturbance
activities commencing on the site, the developer shall physically mark limits of no land
disturbance with tape, signs, or orange construction fence, so that workers can see the
areas to be protected. The physical markers shall be inspected daily.
The Applicant has added the suggested note to Sheet C-1.00 of the Plan Set. HW
has no further comment.
g. HW recommends that the Applicant add a note stating permanent vegetation and
erosion control structures, as necessary, shall be installed preferably immediately after
construction is completed but otherwise no later than the first full spring season
immediately thereafter.
The Applicant has added the suggested note to Sheet C-1.00 of the Plan Set and
to the report section of MassDEP Standard 8. HW has no further comment.
h. HW recommends that the Applicant add a note stating, all temporary erosion and
sediment control measures shall be removed after final site stabilization. Disturbed soil
areas resulting from the removal of temporary measures shall be permanently stabilized
within 30 days of removal.
The Applicant has added the suggested note to Sheet C-1.00 of the Plan Set and
to the report section of MassDEP Standard 8. HW has no further comment.

9. Standard 9 requires a Long-Term Operation and Maintenance (O & M) Plan to be provided.
a. In the Long-Term Maintenance/Evaluation Checklist, Section EA of Appendix D, HW
recommends adding a row for vegetative areas with an inspection frequency of semi-
annually.
The Applicant has added a row for vegetative areas. HW has no further comment.
b. In the Maintenance Checklists, Section E.5 of Appendix D, under Infiltration Basins, HW
recommends changing the text to read "Inspect twice per year" instead of"Inspect once
per year."
The Applicant has revised the text accordingly. HW has no further comment.
c. The Applicant has provided a standalone O&M Plan in Appendix D of the Stormwater
Report. HW recommends that the Planning Board reference this document and require a
signed O&M Plan as a condition of approval.
The Applicant is amenable to requiring a signed O&M Plan as a condition of
approval. The Planning Board and/or Conservation Commission may choose to
include receipt of the O&M Plan as a condition of approval.
10. Standard 10 requires an Illicit Discharge Compliance Statement be provided.
a. HW recommends that the Planning Board include a condition of approval requiring an
Illicit Discharge Compliance Statement signed by the property owner prior to land
disturbance.
The Applicant has provided a signed Illicit Discharge Statement. HW has no
further comment.
11.Additional Comments:
a. The North Andover Stormwater Regulations were amended in 2022. The Applicant has
noted it has demonstrated compliance with §250-27, A-F, which refers to the previous
regulations. HW recommends that the Applicant review the amended regulations and
confirm compliance.
The Applicant has adjusted the Stormwater Report and design as requested. HW
has no further comment.
b. The Applicant has included details for Heavy Duty Flexible Pavement as well as
Standard Duty Flexible Pavement. HW recommends that the Applicant indicate where
the two different pavement types will be used.
The Applicant has revised the pavement detail on Sheet C-5.01 of the Plan Set to
indicate that only Standard Duty Flexible Pavement will be used. HW has no
further comment.
c. The Utility Plan includes a proposed electric/telephone (E/T) service and a proposed
gas service. It does not include water or sewer. HW recommends that the Applicant
confirm all applicable utilities have been provided.
