The Applicant has submitted the following information for VHB's 2nd review: • Response to comments letter,with Appendixes A through H dated August 22,2007, • Site Plans(10 Sheets+Cover)dated July 5,2007 with revisions through August 22,2007. The following comments note non-conformance with specific sections of the Zoning Bylaw or questions/comments on the proposed design and VHB's recommendations/suggestions. Original comments are in regular font,with follow-up comments in bold. Town of North Andover Zoning Bylaw 1. Section 6—It is not clear where the Facility Entrance Sign(See Sheet 4,note 3)is to be located. The Applicant should clarify on the plans. Addressed. 2. Section 8.1—The Applicant should justify the location of the accessible parking space near the proposed scales. VHB suggests moving this accessible space closer to one of the building entrances. Addressed. 3. Section 8.3.5.e.i—VHB suggests including a north arrow on the cover sheet Site Locus. Addressed. 4. Section 8.3.5.e.iii—The address and telephone number of the Applicant(TBI,Inc.)should be included on the plans,as required by this section. Addressed. 5. Section 8.3.5.e.ix—The Applicant has provided a perspective rendering of the proposed facility, however this section requires a front view elevation plan. The elevation plan should identify the building elevations. Partially addressed. The intent of the comment was to get a building elevation plan,front view, showing the height of the proposed building,as required by this section. Although the renderings are informative,VHB suggests also providing a preliminary elevation plan,or request a waiver from this section. At a minimum,the proposed building height should be included in the dimensional chart on sheet 1. 1 C:\Documents and Settings\mippolit\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK2\0928036-210HoltRd-2nd.doc 6. Section 8.3.5.e.xv—Tree and Shrub Planting details should be provided. Partially addressed. A Shrub Planting detail has been added,however a Tree Planting detail has not been added to the plans. 7. Section 8.3.5.e.xvii—Is it the intent to only illuminate the immediate vicinity of the proposed facility? Will any other activities require lighting near the scales or bins,such as early morning or night work? Partially addressed. The Applicant states in his response that additional lighting will be provided at the scale house. The Proposed Photometric Plan should reflect all proposed lighting. General Comments 8. The Applicant should clarify why there is such a large paved area east of the proposed facility. The proposed use of this area is not clear. Addressed. Drainage Comments 9. A catchment area plan should be provided for the pipe capacity calculations. Addressed. 10. VHB suggests providing a double catch basin where more than 20,000 square feet(sqft)of drainage area contribute to a drainage structure. Therefore,CB-3,CB-4,CB-7, CB-8,CB-11,CB-12,CB-18 should be double catch basin structures. Also,wherever there is more than 20,000 sgft of contributing area into a catch basin structure,VHB suggests increasing the pipe size to a minimum of 15"diameter. Addressed. 11. The Applicant should verify the constructability of the proposed manholes. It appears some manholes have several pipes connecting into them at tight angles(i.e.DMHs 2 and 3). Addressed. 12. The Applicant should provide groundwater elevations at the location of the proposed underground detention system. A clearance of 2 feet has to be maintained between the groundwater elevation and the bottom of the infiltration system. Test pit logs should be provided for the proposed location of the underground detention system. Partially addressed. The Applicant states that test pits information will be provided when they become available. Test pits are scheduled to be conducted on September 4,2007. 13. The Applicant should provide specifications of the Brentwood Stormtank System. A plan view should be provided in the detail sheets,along with the cross-section view. Also the outfall pipes(12"and 36") modeled in the Pond Pack routing should be indicated on the plans. It is not clear where their locations are in the plan and details provided. Addressed. The applicant should verify the height of the headwall on Section BB. 14. The Applicant should provide a cross-section detail of the proposed swale on the southern side of the site. Is vegetation proposed in the Swale? Does the swale provide added treatment to the runoff? VHB recommends placing a trash grate at the the end of the trench drain and at the entrances of the 12" culvert under the truck parking spaces. Addressed. 2 C:\Documents and Settings\mippolit\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK2\0928036-210HoltRd-2nd.doc 15. VHB suggests calculating the runoff for the 2, 10 and 100 year storms flowing into the proposed swale at the southern side of the site(trench drain and open ditch). This would verify that the swale will not overflow into the parking lot. Addressed. 16. Water quality volume calculations should be provided in the report. The first inch of runoff shall be treated. Addressed. 17. Erosion and sediment controls shall be in effect prior to commencement of each increment/phase of the construction of the underground detention system. Erosion and sedimentation control elements should be included in the stormwater management system plan and their details should be included in the detail sheets. Addressed. 18. A FEMA map should be included in the report to verify that the site is out of the 100-year flood plain. Addressed. Massachusetts DEP Stormwater Management Standards The Applicant has not provided the Massachusetts Stormwater Management Form for the original design showing whether the proposed drainage system is compliant with all 9 Stormwater Management Standards of the Massachusetts DEP Stormwater Policy Handbook of 1997. The standards are listed below. However,VHB has provided comments on whether each of the standards is addressed by the current design: e) Stormwater discharges from areas with higherpotential pollutant loads require the use of specific stormwater management BMP's. The ttse of infiltration practices without pretreatment is prohibited. The applicant should verify that the proposed used is not an area of higher potential pollutant loads to verify this standard.

Stanley; Sawyer, Susan SmLject: TBI Holt Rd Prop Hi Michel, | Let me know if you think this will fit all the towns needs OK? ! Regarding our conversation about TBI and installing transponders here is what I have designed � for the Of course having design does not mean that it can be done easily and there are cost factors involved for this version that will reduce you administration time and costs as well as traffic enforcement by NAPD. In the diagram you will see 7 Transponder Receiver Locations.The combination from transponders 1,2,3 and 4 will monitor normal truck traffic in and out of holt road and which location they went to along with the time entering and leaving.Transponders 5,6 and 7 will monitor North Andover's permitted truck routes for authorized vehicles and monitor any vehicle traveling from Rt 125 North and passing Rt 133.This will clearly show if a vehicle traveled through the town with out a'All Road" permit and it will also track if they went to any of the Holt Rd facilities. It will also monitor if a truck entered from Rt 133 and if they had the right permit. This plan requires the following: ALL Trash trucks must purchase a transponder which will be their permit,they will also have the annual sticker currently used on the front bumper. Transponders will be color coded to the current scheme used today with white added for general commercial traffic that will only use the designated 1495 t R1125 Route.All other permitted trucks will have corresponding color coded transponders tha(wiUdotheaame as the white generic ones but will also track if they are permitted to use the town roads when they exit Holt Rd or if they pass the intersection of Rt 133 and Rt 125 on the way to Holt rd.Any White Transponder that turns right when leaving or passes Rt 133 and Rt 125 is in violation and should be notified and or warned. Police can have a portable scanner in their police cars that will immediately determine if the truck is properly permitted to travel on North Andover Roads and the transponders will be mounted in such a way that police can visibly see the color of the transponders. On a yearly basis the transponders will be renewed otherwise they will be picked up if used as � | . | expired. To reduce the cost and time of administration, reconciling the truck counts recorded from Wheelabrator and T.B.I. should match exactly to all trash trucks that entered and exited Holt Rd. Obviously this will not always be perfect but you will now have documented proof that trucks are being allowed to use the facility with out proper permitting or using the facility without being properly recorded into the logs. Now all I have to do is find a company that can install this and give us a quote for the job. Due to possible cost problems we may have to � drop receivers G&7 because of the distance but lets see first. | � Please check if Susan got this, |was not sure of her e-mail address. � Regards J.

Site Plan Review Special Permit to construct a 30,000 s.f.recycling facility and solid waste transfer station within I-2 Zoning District. DATE: 2"d Review—August 31,2007 V Review—August 3,2007 Proposal: The applicant,Thompson Brothers Industries,Inc.,is seeking a Site Plan Special Permit to construct a 30,000 s.£ recycling facility and solid waste transfer station,extensive grading and landscaping,and lighting plan. The project area is comprised of Map 34,Lots 27, 28,40 and Map 77, Lot 14 totaling approximately 7.8 acres (339,332 s.£) and is in the Industrial 2 Zoning District with frontage on Holt Road. Background: ➢ This is the 2°d Public Hearing for the Application. Planning Staff and VIIB completed their first review dated August 3 and August 7, 2007 respectfully. The applicant submitted responses to both reviews dated August 22,2007. VHB is currently reviewing said responses. ➢ The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the following: 1. Brief overview of application to date&General discussion of revisions to plan set. 2. Site Plan Special Permit Application compliance with the Site Assignment Decision. 3. Discussion of Conditions within the Site Assignment Decision. 4. Filing of an ANR(Form A)Plan to combine Lots 1-3. ➢ The proposed facility is located at 210 Hold Road, which consists of the site assigned area of three parcels totaling 5.8 acres of industrially zoned land. The western portion of the site (approx. 2 acres) serves as a maintenance and office facility for the existing solid waste transportation business. The remaining two parcels of site assigned area has been in use since 1984 as a yard for solid waste transfer trucks and trailers. In September 2006,TIB purchased the lots to the east to construct the recycling and transfer facility, stormwater management, and yard for transfer trucks and trailers. ➢ On May 9, 2005, the Massachusetts Dept. of Environmental Protection issued a Determination of Site has been signed by the abutter, Joseph Cristaldi, Holt Road Excavators, LLC. and provided in Attachment G of the Site Plan Review Application. The applicant will need to submit the legal document describing the easement. Said document will be then be reviewed by the Planning Department.

STORMWATER DRAINAGE: A stormwater analysis for the pre- and post-development conditions for the site have been performed by the appllicant. Below please find VHB's comments: 1. A catchment area plan should be provided for the pipe capacity calculations. The applicant provided a Catchbasin Area Plan in their revised responses (Attachment B) and is currently being reviewed by VHB. 2. VHB suggests providing a double catch basin where more than 20,000 square feet (sqft) of drainage area contribute to a drainage structure. Therefore, CB-3, CB-4, CB-7, CB-8, CB- 11, CB-12, CB-18 should be double catch basin structures. Also, wherever there is more than 20,000 sgft of contributing area into a catch basin structure, VHB suggests increasing the pipe size to a minimum of 15"diameter. The applicant provided a Catchbasin Area Plan in their revised responses and is currently being reviewed by VHB. 3. The Applicant should verify the constructability of the proposed manholes. It appears some manholes have several pipes connecting into them at tight angles (i.e.DMHs 2 and 3). The applicant included the requested information and is currently being reviewed by VHB. 4. The Applicant should provide groundwater elevations at the location of the proposed underground detention system. A clearance of 2 feet has to be maintained between the groundwater elevation and the bottom of the infiltration system. Test pit logs should be provided for the proposed location of the underground detention system. Test pits are scheduled to be conducted within the area of the underground detention system for September 4, 2007, and the results will be forwarded upon completion. The clearance of ix.

The project area is comprised of Map 34, Lots 27, 28,40 and Map 77,Lot 14 totaling approximately 7.8 acres (339,332 s.f)and is in the Industrial 2 Zoning District with frontage on Holt Road. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the following: 1. Brief overview of application to date&General discussion of revisions to plan set. 2. Site Plan Special Permit Application compliance with the Site Assignment Decision. 3. Filing of an ANR(Form A)Plan to combine Lots 1-3. Background: ➢ The proposed facility is located at 210 Hold Road, which consists of the site assigned area of three parcels totaling 5.8 acres of industrially zoned land. The western portion of the site (approx. 2 acres) serves as a maintenance and office facility for the existing solid waste transportation business. The remaining two parcels of site assigned area has been in use since 1984 as a yard for solid waste transfer trucks and trailers. In September 2006, TIB purchased the lots to the east to construct the recycling and transfer facility,stormwater management,and yard for transfer trucks and trailers. ➢ On May 9, 2005, the Massachusetts Dept. of Environmental Protection issued a Determination of Site Suitability approving 210 Holt Road for use as a Solid Waste Handling and Processing Facility for Construction and Demolition and Commercial Wastes. ➢ On June 22, 2006, the North Andover Board of Health issued their Site Assignment Decision allowing the facility to be located on the 5.8 acres of land located at 210 Holt Road. General Comments: ➢ This is the 3d Public Hearing for the Application. Planning Staff and VHB completed second reviews dated August 31 and August 27, 2007 respectfully. The applicant is currently responding to said reviews. In addition,the Planning Board requested that the applicant provided an amended traffic study taking into consideration approved and anticipated growth along the Rte. 125 corridor. The applicant is currently responding to this request. ➢ Planning Staff spoke with Attorney John Clavens who represented the Board of Health during the TBI hearings regarding the filing of ANR plan and the Planning Boards ability to modify the approved conceptual design under the Site Assignment decision. Attorney Clavens stated that combination of lots under an ANR plan would not impact the conditions of the site assignment decision so long as the area(5.8 acres)to be utilized for the construction of the waste facility remained the same. Further,the Planning Board has the ability to modify the approved conceptual design without requiring the applicant to reopen the public hearing process with the Board of Health. Recommendations: Planning Staff recommends continuing the application to the October 2, 2007 meeting to allow the applicant to respond to Staff,VHB, and Planning Board Comments.
