Ms. Sarah LaValley:
Per the Department of Environmental Protection Order of Conditions issued on April 5, 2010 for the Three County Fairgrounds, 54 Fair Street, Northampton, MA 01060, the Northampton Conservation
Commission requires a sequencing plan for construction, and erosion and sedimentation control installation. We will attempt to follow the construction sequence below as much as possible,
however due to the existing winter conditions, some items of construction may have to be adjusted or moved within our sequencing plan.
The one aspect of this sequencing plan that will not be moved or adjusted is the erosion and sedimentation control measures. All erosion control methods required by the Order of Conditions
and detailed on the site drawings provided by Berkshire Design, Inc. will be fully adhered to. This includes site protection and the protection of existing and new catch basins. This
erosion control will be inspected daily and corrected immediately if necessary.
The following Sequencing of Operations is how we foresee the construction proceeding at this time.
