Handbook BMP specifications and that the BMP has been properly cleaned or prepared for post construction operation,
including removal of all construction period sediment trapped in inlet and outlet control structures; ii.. as -built final construction
BMP plans are included, signed and stamped by a Registered Professional Engineer, certifying the site is fully stabilized; iii.
any illicit discharges to the stormwater management system have been removed, as per the requirements of Stormwater
Standard 10; iv. all post -construction stormwater BMPs are installed in accordance with the plans (including all planting
plans) approved by the issuing authority, and have been inspected to ensure that they are not damaged and that they are in
proper working condition; v. any vegetation associated with post -construction BMPs is suitably established to withstand
erosion.
c) The landowner is responsible for BMP maintenance until the issuing authority is notified that another party has legally assumed
responsibility for BMP maintenance. Prior to requesting a Certificate of Compliance, or Partial Certificate of Compliance, the
responsible party (defined in General Condition 19(e)) shall execute and submit to the issuing authority an Operation and
Maintenance Compliance Statement ("O&M Statement") for the Stormwater BMPs identifying the party responsible for
implementing the stormwater BMP Operation and Maintenance Plan ("O&M Plan") and certifying the following: i.) the O&M

responsibility for maintaining each BMP. To overcome this presumption, the landowner of the property must submit to the
issuing authority a legally binding agreement of record, acceptable to the issuing authority, evidencing that another entity has
accepted responsibility for maintaining the BMP, and that the proposed responsible party shall be treated as a permittee for
purposes of implementing the requirements of Conditions 19(f) through 19(k) with respect to that BMP. Any failure of the
proposed responsible party to implement the requirements of Conditions 19(f) through 19(k) with respect to that BMP shall
be a violation of the Order of Conditions or Certificate of Compliance. In the case of stormwater BMPs that are serving more
than one lot, the legally binding agreement shall also identify the lots that will be serviced by the stormwater BMPs. A plan and
easement deed that grants the responsible party access to perform the required operation and maintenance must be submitted
along with the legally binding agreement.
f) The responsible party shall operate and maintain all stormwater BMPs in accordance with the design plans, the O&M Plan,
and the requirements of the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook.
g) The responsible party shall:

maintenance and/or replacement of the stormwater management system or any part thereof, and disposal (for disposal the
log shall indicate the type of material and the disposal location);
2. Make the maintenance log available to MassDEP and the Conservation Commission ("Commission") upon request; and
3. Allow members and agents of the MassDEP and the Commission to enter and inspect the site to evaluate and ensure
that the responsible party is in compliance with the requirements for each BMP established in the O&M Plan approved by
the issuing authority.
h) All sediment or other contaminants removed from stormwater BMPs shall be disposed of in accordance with all applicable
federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
i) Illicit discharges to the stormwater management system as defined in 310 CMR 10.04 are prohibited.
j) The stormwater management system approved in the Order of Conditions shall not be changed without the prior written
approval of the issuing authority.
k) Areas designated as qualifying pervious areas for the purpose of the Low Impact Site Design Credit (as defined in the
MassDEP Stormwater Handbook, Volume 3, Chapter 1, Low Impact Development Site Design Credits) shall not be altered
without the prior written approval of the issuing authority.

significance of these resource areas to the identified interests.
33. The NACC agrees with the applicant's delineation of the wetland resource areas on
the site as shown on the plans dated referenced herein.
34. The NACC finds that the intensive use of the upland areas and buffer zone proposed
on this site will cause further alteration of the wetland resource areas. In order to
prevent any alteration of wetland resource areas a twenty five foot 25', No -
Disturbance Zone and a fifty foot (50) No -Construction Zone shall be established from
the edge of the adjacent wetland resource area as shown on the herein referenced
plans. In addition, in cooperation with the North Andover Planning Board, the
applicant has agreed that the proposed post and rail fence and existing loose stone
wall shall serve as the limit of clearing for this property. The Conservation
Administrator and/or other agents of the NACC do not have the authority to waive
these setbacks as established under the local bylaw. No disturbance of existing grade,
soils or vegetation is permitted in the No -Disturbance zone. (See Section 3.4 &
Appendix F of the local Regulations).
35. This document shall be included in all construction contracts, subcontracts, and
specifications dealing with the work proposed and shall supersede any conflicting
contract requirements. The applicant shall assure that all contractors, subcontractors,

DEP FILE # 242 -1590
and other personnel performing the permitting work are fully aware of the permits
terms and conditions. Thereafter, the contractor will be held jointly liable for any
violation of this Order resulting from failure to comply with its conditions.
36. The owners of the project and their successors in title agree that the Order does not in
itself impose upon the Town any responsibility to maintain the proposed drainage
system and that said Town shall not be liable for any damage in the event of failure.
By acceptance of this Order, the owners agree to indemnify and hold harmless to the
Town and its residents for any damage attributable to alterations undertaken on this
property pursuant to the Order. Issuance of these Conditions does not in any way
imply or certify that the site or downstream areas will not be subject to flooding, storm
damage or any other form of water damage. Maintenance of the drainage system, if
accepted by the Town as part of a public way, becomes the responsibility of the Town.
