RE: 1046 Great Pond Road (617)350-7906
North Andover, MA
Dear Mr. Watson:
This letter is in reference to our site inspection conducted on July 27, 1999 at 1046 Great Pond
Road,North Andover, MA to determine the presence of wetland resource areas on the site. A
bordering vegetated wetland resource area associated with Lake Cochichewick was measured in
the field,with a tape, at approximately 450 feet westerly of the existing subject house to be
renovated. An additional bordering vegetated wetland resource area was identified approximately
400+feet southerly from the subject house. No resource areas were identified northerly of the
project area. The identified resource areas were not flagged in the field, and measurements were
conducted from the approximate visual delineation of the resource areas.
The North Andover Watershed Protection Bylaw enforces various zones from Lake
Cochichewick and wetland resource areas within the Watershed District. For lots created prior to
October 24, 1994,a Non Disturbance Zone of 250 feet and a Non-Discharge Zone of 325' is
enforced from the Annual High Water Mark of Lake Cochichewick. A Non-Disturbance Zone of
100 feet and a Non-Discharge Zone of 325 feet is enforced from the edge of wetland resource
areas within the Watershed District.
According to field measurements, it appears that renovations to the existing house will not occur
within the Non-Disturbance Zone and the Non-Discharge Zone to Lake Cochichewick and
wetland resource areas. Work will be conducted approximately 580 feet from the Annual High
Water Mark of the lake and approximately 400+feet from the edge of identified bordering
vegetated wetlands. The proposed project will occur within the General Zone identified under the
Watershed Protection District and should not require permitting from the Planning Board or the
Zoning Board of Appeals.
Attached is an exhibit plan which displays the applicable Watershed Protection Zones on the
subject property.
If you have any questions,please feel free to contact me. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Hancock Environmental Consultants
