NOTICE OF STORMWATER CONTROL AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
19. The work associated with this Order (the "Project") is (1) ❑ is not (2) ® subject to the
Massachusetts Stormwater Standards. If the work is subject to the Stormwater
Standards, then the project is subject to the following conditions:
a) All work, including site preparation, land disturbance, construction and redevelopment,
shall be implemented in accordance with the construction period pollution prevention and
erosion and sedimentation control plan and, if applicable, the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan required by the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System
Construction General Permit as required by Stormwater Condition 8. Construction period
erosion, sedimentation and pollution control measures and best management practices
(BMPs) shall remain in place until the site is fully stabilized.
b) No stormwater runoff may be discharged to the post- construction stormwater BMPs
unless and until a Registered Professional Engineer provides a Certification that:
L all construction period BMPs have been removed or will be removed by a date certain
specified in the Certification. For any construction period BMPs intended to be converted
to post construction operation for stormwater attenuation, recharge, and /or treatment, the
conversion is allowed by the MassDEP Stormwater 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

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 18(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
Plan is complete and will be implemented upon receipt of the Certificate of Compliance,
and it) the future responsible parties shall be notified in writing of their ongoing legal
responsibility to operate and maintain the stormwater management BMPs and implement
the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
d) Post - construction pollution prevention and source control shall be implemented in
accordance with the long -term pollution prevention plan section of the approved
Stormwater Report and, if applicable, the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan required by
the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Multi- Sector General Permit.
e) Unless and until another party accepts responsibility, the landowner, or owner of any
drainage easement, assumes 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 18(f) through 18(k) with respect to that BMP. Any failure of the
proposed responsible party to implement the requirements of Conditions 18(f) through
18(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.

Any appellants seeking to appeal the Department's Superseding Order associated with this appeal
will be required to demonstrate prior participation in the review of this project. Previous participation
in the permit proceeding means the submission of written information to the Conservation
Commission prior to the close of the public hearing, requesting a Superseding Order, or
