RE: ENFORCEMENT ORDER—Hazardous Materials Release @ #1430 Great Pond
Road.
Dear Mr. Simmons:
Per your request, enclosed please find an Enforcement Order authorizing remediation
activities at the above referenced locus in accordance with the attached report dated
January 12, 1998. In addition, and as a means of satisfying the concerns of this
Department and the Conservation Commission, I am mandating that a qualified Wetland
Biologist be on-site while the excavation activities are proceeding. Thereafter, the Biologist
will be required to inspect the site weekly verifying that the erosion control is in tact and
functioning as intended.
As referenced on page #2 of your report, it is proposed to divert the sump "discharge into
a stream" when "approved by the Conservation Commission". I would suggest that
Simmons Environmental Services, Inc. and Wetlands Preservation, Inc. look at other
alternatives. If feasible, this Department would prefer to eliminate or otherwise mitigate the
existing point source discharge. It is my understanding that the floor of the basement is
going to be excavated and subsequently replaced in order to remove the contaminated soil
currently beneath the floor. At that time, please re-locate the sump to a more suitable
location which would provide for some buffer zone mitigation prior to reaching the wetland.
Chemicals and other cleaning products utilized by the property owner may enter the sump
from time to time and it becomes increasingly important that these situations be avoided all
together.
The "Site Restoration" section (page 4 & 5) is not authorized under this Enforcement
Order. Please file a Notice of Intent no later than noon on April 24, 1998 complete with the
CONSERVATION-(978)688 9530 • HEALTH-(978)688-9540 • PLANNING-(978)688-9535
*BUILDINGOFFICE-(978)688-9545 • *ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS-(978)688-9541 • *146 MAIN STREET
minimum submittal requirements as outlined in the North Andover Wetland
Bylaw/Regulations (C.178 of the Code of North Andover) and the Massachusetts Wetland
Protection Act (310 CMR 10.00).
Please schedule a pre-construction meeting with this Department and a representative from
Wetlands Preservation, Inc. prior to implementing this plan.
Thanking you in advance.
Sincerely,
