(EAI) is pleased to submit the following for your review regarding the above referenced project: • Three (3)copies of Form 8A Request for Certificate of Compliance • Three (3)copies of Aerial Photos of the Subject Property circa 2008 obtained by MassGIS and prepared by Engineering Alliance, Inc. • Three (3) copies of plans entitled "Revised Subdivision Plan" prepared by Parsons and Faia, Inc. and dated December 27, 1985. The Order of Conditions for this project was issued by the Salem Conservation Commission under DEP File No. 64-32 in 1978. Subsequent to that time, the Pickman Park Condominium was constructed over three phases. Construction was completed and the project was turned over from the developer to the board of trustees in June of 1985. Since 1985, the areas that were under the jurisdiction of the Order of Conditions, have been stabilized with vegetation and are thriving. Engineering Alliance, Inc. has performed a walking survey of the development and a review of available subdivision plans (attached). Based on our review, Engineering Alliance, Inc. hereby certifies that the development was constructed in substantial compliance with the Order of Conditions. The subdivision plans were utilized as a basis for our review as the file at the Conservation Commission did not include any design drawings from the 1980's. We are hopeful that the Commission will consider issuing a Certificate of Compliance for this project in order to properly close this project and complete the chain of title. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact me. Very Truly Yours, �jNOF c_ ENGINEERING ALLIANCE, INC.

Comments: This project was originally approved in 1978 and has been extended each year since that time. Construction has begun .in the last 6 months. Since this project is so large and since it falls under the old regulations, I recommend that the proponent be given extensions at 6 months intervals until completion. The Planning Department by using the Clerk of the Works and the Conservation Aide can closely monitor the construction and provide the Commission with biannual report. If the proponent does not follow the restrictions imposed on the development, then the Commission could refuse to extend his Order 6 months from now, forcing him to comply with the new regulations under a new Order of Conditions.

'The -Salem Conservation Commission has determined that the Wetlands Pro- tection Act is applicable to the work proposed by Salem Acres; Inc. for the proposed development kno.✓n as Pickman Park in Salem, Massachusetts. The following orders are issued to protect the public interest by con- trolling the direct effects of construction and alteration by sedimenta- tion from land erosion on wetlands important to the South River Flood Control Area and on other wetland areas on and contiguous to the devel- opment. General Orders 3-1-1. All work shall be done in accordance with the plans and documents accompanying the Notice of intent prepared by Carter and Towers Engineering Corporation of 6 Fairview.Avenue, Swampscott, Massachusetts, except as modified by these Order of Conditions. 11-2. All erosion control and sedimentation control plans shall be developed in accordance with Guidelines for Soil and [dater Conservation in Urbanizing Areas of Massachusetts, USDA Soil Conservation, Amherst, Massachusetts, April 1975. 1-3 A detailed plan and specification shall be prepared for erosion control and sedimentation control for each phase of the development in accordance _ with this Order of Conditions shall contain detailed procedures for im- plementation of the plan. A copy of the plan, specification and all necessary calculations shall be submitted to the Salem Conservation Com- mission for approval at least six weeks prior to the start of work in each phase. A copy of the approved plan and specification shall be kept on site at all times and shall be used in the implementation of erosion control and sedimentation control plan for each phase of the development. The imple- mentation of the plans during construction shall be subject to inspection by the Salem Conservation Commission. 11-4. As work progresses in any area erosion and sedimentation shall be controlled by only disturbing areas required for grading and construction, by the use of straw bale check dams and bench terraces on the slopes of disturbed areas by filter strips and by stabilizing disturbed areas as the work progresses. Areas shall be permently stabilized as follows: (i) if the season is suitable for growing at least 6 inches of topsoil shall be placed and treated after the surface has been scarified and the topsoil shall be seeded without undue delay. The seeded surface shall have mulch applied, and netting as required. (ii) If the season is unsuitable for growing, the surface shall have mulch applied and netting as required. In the next growing season the surface shall be scarified and shall be treated as in (i) above. -2 S (b) Every effort shall be made to phase the work in order to have developed vegetation on disturbed areas at the onset of the winter season. �. i, (c) Runoff flow shall be diverted from unvegetated areas, and diverted to installed storm drains or grade stabilizing structures as required. I (d) 1vo soil slopes shall be greater than 2 horizontal to 1 vertical. is is (e) All storm drain inlets shall be protected with gravel filters or straw bale check dams. i (f) All stockpiles of sand and soil, other than stone and rock, shall be stored within bulkheads which are drained so as to minimize the removal of particles by runoff, or shall be stored and covered in a location where the topography and the use of straw bale check dams mininize the removal of particles. (g) The binder course shall be installed on all roads or sections of road within a reasonable time and without undue delay upon completion of grading and initial compaction. (h) No wetland areas shall be used as sedimentation ponds. All dredging shall be done behind straw bale check dams. (i) All straw bale check dams shall have the bales butted together and laid in a trench at least 6 inches deep with soil compacted at the base on each face of the bales. Each bale shall be anchored by two stakes. (j) The erosion control measures shall be inspected by the Applicant at least three times each week and each day during periods of precipita- tion or snow melt. (k) Sediment removed from check dams or sedimentation ponds shall be removed and stockpiled as in (f) or used in suitable areas for grading. (1) Displaced storage in the wetland between proposed Fillmore Road and Jefferson Avenue shall be compensated for by dredging in areas approved by the Salem Conservation Commission prior to any work in the wetland. (m) Upon completion of work in wetland areas, the areas shall be cleaned and restored without undue delay. Specific Orders 11-5. The sewer pipe cradles shall be constructed in concrete. 11-6. Detailed construction drawings for the sanitary sewer crossing over the South River and the sewer and embankment in the wetland, the tem- porary diversion system, the river channel and the Fillmore embankment shall be submitted to the Salem Conservation Commission for approval at least sip: (6) weeks prior to the start of work in the wetland between proposed Fillmore Road and Jefferson Avenue. 11-7. The order of construction shall be as follows: (a) Sanitary sewer crossing and river channel. 'Y -3- Dredging for compensation storage shall be done prior to construction of the sewer embankment and Fillmore Road embankment or it may be done to compensate for storage as filling progresses. All work in the wetland shall be completed before any upland grading or construction is started. 11-5. Construction of Sanitary Sewer Crossing and South River Diversion The South River shall be temporarily diverted through a pipe for the construction of the sewer crossing and a permanent concrete river channel. The diversion pipe shall contain the river from the exit of the existing culverts under the railroad embankment, across the location of the pro- posed Fillmore Road embankment and shall discharge into the marsh dcwnstrea« of the end of the concrete river channel. The pipe shall be of a size sufficient to pass the 10 year flood without increasing the water elevation on the west side of the railroad embankment. A straw bale check dam shall be suitably installed prior to the installation of the diversion pipe. Upon diversion of the river the check dam shall be altered to prevent siltation in the marsh due to construction of the sewer crossing and the river channel. All water pumped from excavations shall be discharged into a suitable sedimentation pond formed by rock filled timber or concrete cribs or gabions. The soft organic soil shall be removed from the site of the structures after installation of the check dam. When work begins on the sewer crossing culverts and the river diversion it shall continue without interruption until complete. Upon completion, the wetland shall be cleaned and the river shall be diverted to the concrete channel and the temporary diversion pipe shall be removed. Design of the sanitary sewer crossing and South River diversion may be revised and detailed plans and specifications shall be submitted to the Salem Conservation Commission for approval at least six (6) weeks prior to construction. (a) Sanitary Sewer Crossing The sewer culverts shall be constructed around the temporary diversion pipe, or that section of the diversion pipe shall be designed to be incorporated into the permanent culverts. (b) Permanent River Channel A reinforced concrete river bed and retaining wall on the side of the river adjacent to the proposed Fillmore Road embankment shall be constructed on the line of the river diversion from the exits of the existing culverts, for a distance required for the river to clear the toe of the embankment. The retaining wall shall be vertical to an elevation of at least 15 feet mean low water and shall be designed to withstand the loads imposed by construction and use of the road. The headwall for the 24 inch storm drain shall be formed in the retaining wall. S -4- ( 11-9. Construction of Proposed Fillmore Road Embankment Construction of the embankment shall commence only upon completion of the sewer crossing and the concrete river channel. Prior to the start of construction of the embankment a straw bale check dam shall be installed at least six (6) feet from the toe of the slope to prevent siltation in the marsh. The soft organic soil shall be -removed from the site of the embankment and placing and compacting the embankment shall continue with- out interruption until at least the binder course is installed on the road. As work progresses on the embankment all completed sections shall have riprap placed on the slope. 11-10. Construction of the Sewer and Sewer Embankment Prior to the start of construction of the sewer and embankment in the area between the proposed Fillmore Road and Parallel Street, a straw bale check dam shall be installed at least six (6) feet from the toe of the embankment slope after which the soft organic soil shall be removed from the site of the embankment. [pater pumped from excavations shall be discharged into a suitable sedimentation pond formed by rock filled timber or concrete cribs or by gabions. [then work starts it shall continue v ith- out interruption until completed. As work progresses completed sections shall have erosion controlled in accordance with the General Orders Sec- tion 11-4(a) . 11-11. Construction of the Storm Drain Under Railroad Embankment (opposite rear of Lot 70) The storm drain shall be constructed through the railroad embankment with a sedimentation pond constructed between the embankment and the road. The pond shall be constructed prior to installation of upstream storm drains and shall intercept water which will drain to the wetland on the west of the embankment and it shall be kept in operation until all land which drains to it is permanently stabilized against erosion, at which time the storm drain system shall be connected to the pipe under the embankment and the sedimentation pond shall be removed and the area prepared and seeded. The storm drain outlet in the wetland on the west of the railroad embankment shall have a stone apron installed to spread the discharge to prevent scouring. 11-12. Construction of Proposed Drainage Ditch (rear of Lots 76 through 121 to Forest River) This ditch and headwalls shall be constructed 2 years in advance of disturbance of the land which will drain to it to allow time for seeding and plant growth prior to its use. When construction of the ditch starts it shall continue without interruption until seeding is complete and shall be timed to permit seeding in the growing season. It shall be seeded with suitable vegetation. A concrete or rock channel section shall be installed in the ditch from the headwall to a point 15 feet from it at the rear of lots 76 and 77. A concrete or rock channel section shall be installed in the ditch for a length of six (6) feet on each side of the headwall at the rear of lot 123. A straw bale check dam shall be installed at the exit of the ditch prior to the start of the ditch construction and shall remain in place until vegetation is established. when the storm drains connecting { n 5 �ti i -5- Construction of Pickman Road and Adjoining Drives and Avenues ( (a) When construction of Pickman Road begins all work shall continue with- out interruption until at least the binder course is installed and the cuts and fills have been stabilized in accordance with General Order 11-4(a) . The road shall be laid out and its alignment shall be reviewed by the Salem Conservation Commission prior to the -start of construction. Construction plans of the portion of the road traversing the conservation area shall be sub.^..itted to the Salem Conservation Commission for approval at least six (6) weeks prior to the start of construction. (b) The line of Pickman Road shall be altered such that the north edge of the right of stay is at least 20 feet from the. large maple tree on the south side of the pond. This tree shall be undisturbed during construction. During construction of the road and storm drains and the growth of planted vegetation the pond and land on the south side of the road shall be protected by straw bale check dams. The headwall shall not be constructed in the pond but shall be built adjacent to the edge of the right of way at the end of a short open channel. The invert elevation of the channel and pipe shall be 42 feet, mean low water. Yo water shall be discharged into the t; pond during construction and the drainage system shall be constructed such that the surface runoff does not enter the pond through the storm drains from Pickman Road. The outlet of the storm drain on the _ south side of the road shall have a stone apron installed to spread the discharge to prevent scouring. (c) During construction of the storm drain from Pickman Road between the pond and Arnold Drive and growth of stabilizing vegetation the surrounding land shall be protected by straw bale check dams. A stone apron shall be installed at the outlet to spread the discharge to prevent scouring. { 9' q 4 < Litg ofIQm, s �riiurtt Dpparlmenf of Pubkc Narks @nr Salem (Srr?n ANTHONY V. FLETCHER. R.P.E.

FLETCHER DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SERVICES SUBJECT: SALEM ACRES, INC. - I am advised that there has been criticism of my terse approval of the recent Salem .Acres request. Please be advised that this department, and me personally, spent many, many hours in consultation with the Conservation Commission, the Planning Board, the developers, the developer's Engineers, and the Courts of Massachusetts in estab- lishing all the conditions the developers are required to meet in order to satisfy the requests and demands of City Boards and most citizens. All this took place in 1977. I stated then, and I repeat now; complete drainage has been provided (something the adjoining neighborhood does not have) , a well designed water system (which, unlike the adjacent neighborhood, is properly looped) , has been furnished, and an excellent sewerage system has been designed. All of these were approved in 1977 . In the area of sewers, a significant improvement has occurred in the City system in that Phase I provided new trunk lines to service the possibility of growth in this area. NO City services are required for this project, in that all water, sewer, drain and street systems are private, not public. In accordance with 1976-77 hearings and my statements at that time, this project still meets all the requirements of the department in respect to design of water, sewer, streets and drains.
