shall be submitted to the Northampton Department of Public Works by October 1St of

issue date of this permit, then the permit will expire and a new permit will be required.
Construction is defined as clearing, grading, excavation, filling, and installation of
drainage structures on the lots specified in this permit.
Specific Permit Conditions:
Prior to issuance of a Building Permit, the applicant shall record an executed Stormwater
Operation, Maintenance, and Inspection Agreement that is binding on all subsequent
owners of land served by the private stormwater management facility by recording it in
the land records of the Registry of Deeds. This agreement shall be approved by the
Northampton DPW and signed by the owner and the Mayor of Northampton. Section 22-
85 of the Northampton Stormwater Management Ordinance provides additional guidance
for the requirements of this agreement. The agreement shall include an attachment
describing the schedule of maintenance tasks for the proposed stormwater management
system that includes the maintenance tasks specified on page 2 of Appendix F: Operation
and Maintenance Plan of the Stormwater Management Report submitted by Doucet &
Associates as well as a schedule for street sweeping of the proposed site.
2. This project will be required to submit one or more Notice of Intent (NOI) to the U.S.
EPA for coverage under the NPDES Stormwater Construction General Permit. A
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) must be completed and implemented.

3. The applicant shall be required to apply for separate permits from the DPW for all
proposed connections to the municipal storm drain system.
4. Prior to issuance of a Building Permit, the applicant shall submit revised plans specifying
the location of municipal drain manholes and drain lines located on the northeast portion
of the site and the location of drainage easements. The DPW shall require access to these
drainage structures as necessary for maintenance and it shall be the responsibility of the
owner to repave or reconstruct the site as necessary. The drainage easements shown on
the proposed plans maybe in the wrong location based on the actual location of
municipal drainage structures. The applicant must verify that the easements are in the
correct location and revise these easements if found to be incorrect.
5. The applicant has proposed to connect a 15-inch RCP drain line from the Vtech2
structure to the existing DMH 6 in King Street near Hooker Avenue as specified on Sheet
C-5 of the Permit Drawings. The DPW has investigated the municipal drain system
connecting DMH 6 to DMH 5 and found that DMH 6 is connected to DMH 5 by a 12-
inch drain line. The DPW finds the proposed connection of a 15-inch drain line to DMH
6 unacceptable and requests that the applicant connect the proposed 15-inch drain line
directly to the existing DMH 5 in King Street. The DPW requests that prior to issuance of
a Building Permit, the applicant shall submit revised plans for approval by the DPW
specifying this change.
