RE: Nitsch Project #4914.1
Certificate of Compliance
DEP #246 -628
State Police Barracks
Northampton, MA
Dear Ms. LaValley:
On behalf of the Division of Capital Asset Management, Nitsch Engineering, Inc. is requesting a Certificate of
Compliance for the State Police Barracks, located at 555 North King Street, in Northampton, Massachusetts.
The project was approved and given an Order of Conditions that was signed by the Northampton
Conservation Commission on February 26, 2009. The Northampton Conservation Commission recorded the
Order of Conditions at the Hampshire Registry of Deeds.
One full sized stamped as -built plan along with the permitted plan is included for the Commission's records.
As requested by the Conservation Commission, seven (7) copies of the plan and letter are included.
Nitsch Engineering bubbled the areas on the permitted plan that deviate from the as -built plan.
Nitsch Engineering notes that the completed work is in general conformance with the Approved Documents
except for the following:
1. Bollards were only installed behind the curb closest to the building. No bollards were installed along
the curb at the entry landscaped island;
2. A six foot high chain link fence, with buried dead men at each end of the fence, was installed parallel
to North King Street within the 100 and 200 foot Riverfront area; and
3. The dry-well was moved from outside the 200 -foot Riverfront Area into the Riverfront Area based on
site conditions.
These plan changes were discussed with the Conservation Agent on March 30, 2010 prior to the start of
construction. Erosion control measures were in place and functioning prior to the start of work. At the time of
the March 30, 2012 meeting, the Conservation Agent requested that the proposed site changes be indicated
on the as -built plan.
Nitsch Engineering respectfully requests that the Northampton Conservation Commission issue a Certificate
of Compliance for the State Police Barracks on North King Street.
Please call with any questions.
Very truly yours,
