McKay Telephone (978) 688-9530 Conservation Administrator Fax (978) 688-9542 October 4, 2004 Albert Manzi, III 1028 Salem Street North Andover, MA 01845 RE: ENFORCEMENT ORDER Sewer Connection for the Property at 1028 Salem Street Violation of the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act (MGL c.131 s.40) and North Andover Wetland Protection ByLaw (c.178 of the Code of North Andover). Dear Mr. Manzi: On September 9, 2004 I received a revised plan entitled "Sewer Tie In Plan" prepared by New England Engineering Services for a proposed sewer connection along Salem Street to your property at 1028 Salem Street Typically, these sewer tie-in projects have been allowed by the Commission without a Conservation filing and the Conservation Administrator is left with the discretion to impose any conditions necessary for protection of any resource area within 100 feet of the proposed work. However, in cases where sewer connections are proposed near or within the 25' No -Disturbance Zone (pursuant to the North Andover Wetlands Protection Bylaw) or the proposed project could potentially have a greater impact on the wetlands resource area, a conservation filing would be necessary. The submitted plan dated August 6, 2004 and revised September 8, 2004 indicates that proposed work will be just outside of the 25' No -disturbance Zone of a protected Wetland Resource area. This Enforcement Order is being issued to allow the proposed work without a filing with the North Andover Conservation Commission (NACC) in accordance with the approved plan and the special conditions outlined below. Specific wetland resource areas affected by the project include the following: • 100 -Foot Buffer Zone (North Andover Wetlands Protection Bylaw Section 1.3) ORDER: Acting as an Agent of the Commission under MGL C.40, S.21D and the Act (310 CMR 10.08(3)), enclosed please find an Enforcement Order mandating completion of the sewer tie- in at the above referenced property in accordance with the revised plan dated September 8, 2004 and the conditions as described below. BOARD OF APPEALS 688-9541 BUILDING 688-9545 CONSERVATION 688-9530 HEALTH 688-9540 PLANNING 688-9535 Installation of Erosion Controls Prior to commencement of work activities, erosion controls consisting of staked haybales backed by trenched silt fence shall be properly installed at the locations depicted on the approved plan. Additional erosion controls (i.e. haybales) shall surround all catch basins within 100 feet of the proposed work. Environmental Monitoring The applicant shall designate an "Erosion Control Monitor" to oversee any emergency placement of controls and regular inspection or replacement of sedimentation control devices. The name and phone number of the erosion control monitor must be provided to the Conservation Department in writing by the hired professional in the event that this person has to be contacted, due to an emergency at the site, during any 24-hour period, including weekends. This person shall be given the authority to stop construction for erosion control purposes. The erosion control monitor will be required to inspect all such devices and oversee cleaning and the proper disposal of waste products. Cleaning shall include removal of any entrapped silt For as long as construction activities occurs on-site and for as long thereafter as the ground remains unstabilized, the applicant shall submit a written report from the "Erosion Control Monitor" to the NACC every day in which work is occurring certifying that, to the best of his/her knowledge and belief based on a careful site inspection, all work is being performed in compliance with this Order of Conditions and that approved. setbacks are being adhered to. The erosion control monitor must visually inspect all sedimentation/erosion control measures and assume responsibility for their maintenance and that they are functioning as intended. In addition, all wetland resource areas must be visually inspected for siltation, turbidity, and/or other water quality impacts. • Pre -Construction Meeting Upon completion of the above, the applicant shall contact the Conservation Department for a pre -construction meeting. Post Construction • Upon completion of construction and grading, all disturbed areas located outside resource areas shall be stabilized permanently against erosion This shall be done either by loaming and seeding according to SCS standards. If the latter course is chosen, stabilization will be considered complete once vegetative cover has been achieved. The Conservation Department shall be notified for a post construction inspection once this has been completed. • Upon approved site stabilization by Conservation staff, the erosion controls shall be removed and properly disposed of and all exposed unvegetated areas shall be seeded. Final completion of all related sewer installation activities within jurisdictional resource areas (10(Y buffer zone) shall commence on October 12, 2004 and shall be completed by October 14, 2004 (weather permitting) and shall take no longer than 2 days to complete. 3 Failure to complete work within this time frame will result in administrative fines and/or penalties of up to $100 per day per violation retroactive from the date of failed compliance and will also result in a Cease and Desist Order and the filing a Notice of Intent. Any violations to this Enforcement Order as documented herein are subject to a $100 per day penalty' until such time as the Enforcement Order is fully complied with. Each day or portion thereof during which any violation continues shall constitute a separate offense. At this time this Department has not elected to levy a fine. However, we reserve the right to take additional action in the future should this Enforcement Order not be complied with retroactive from the date we were first made aware of the violations. Failure to comply with this Order and the deadlines referenced herein will result in the issuance of additional penalties. MGL C.131 S.40 and the North Andover Wetland Bylaw, C.178 authorizes the Conservation Commission to seek injunctive relief and civil penalties per day of violation. In addition, a violation of the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act and the North Andover Wetland Bylaw constitutes a criminal act, which is subject to prosecution and the imposition of criminal fines, also per day. This Enforcement Order shall become effective upon receipt. Your anticipated cooperation is appreciated. Sincerely, Alison E. McKay Conservation Administrator End.
