changes to the approved stormwater facilities shall be documented by a professional

Specific Permit Conditions:
1. 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. The maintenance schedule and responsibility
for maintenance of all components of the proposed stormwater management system must
be adequately specified in Attachment A to this Agreement. The draft Proposed
Stormwater Management System Operation & Maintenance Plan for Post-Construction
submitted as part of the Stormwater Drainage Report dated March 12, 201 2 must be
revised to the satisfaction of the Northampton DPW including but not limited to
inspection and maintenance schedules for: the level lip spreaders, the outlet control
structures, the driveway culvert, the infiltration basin, and control of erosion of the gravel

driveway. The DPW can provide additional guidance on required revisions to the
maintenance schedule. The final agreement shall be approved by the Northampton DPW
and signed by the owner and the Mayor of Northampton. The final agreement shall be
recorded at the Registry of Deeds at the owner's expense. Section 281-8 of the
Northampton Stormwater Management Ordinance provides additional guidance for the
requirements of this agreement.
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 copy of
the final NOI and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) shall be submitted to
the Northampton DPW for approval prior to the start of construction and prior to issuance
of a building permit. The SWPPP for the project must include sediment and erosion
control to keep sediment out of the infiltration systems during all phases of construction
including construction of individual houses.
3. The proposed stormwater management system is designed to mitigate peak stormwater
flows. If, after construction of the proposed system, the system is found to increase
stormwater flows to adjacent properties or to the municipal storm drain system, the owner
shall redesign and reconstruct the drainage system to prevent any increased stormwater
flows to adjacent properties or the municipal storm drain system.
4. All detention basins, outlets, vegetated swales, level-lip spreaders and other non-piped
components of the proposed storm water system shall be constructed as proposed and
stabilized as soon as possible during construction of the driveway and preferably prior to
receiving drainage flows from the proposed development. Additional erosion and
sediment control structures may be required during construction. No construction phase
stormwater flows shall be discharged to the infiltration basin.
5. The Site Plans specify the area that will be cleared and the area of proposed impervious
surface and gravel driveway. Any expansion of the cleared area beyond that specified on
the plan or increase in the area of the driveway, house, or any impervious surface as
specified on the approved plans shall require approval by the DPW and may require an
amendment to this Stormwater Management Permit or a new Stormwater Management
Permit.
6. The lower section of the driveway at Chesterfield Road shall be graded so that runoff
from the driveway will sheet flow off the roadway to the drainage ditch and not to
Chesterfield Road.
7. The driveway has been specified as I 0 foot wide with a 3 inch trap rock gravel surface
and a 12 inch compacted gravel base. Any change of the surface or grading of the
driveway from the approved plans shall require an amendment to this Stormwater
Management Permit.

the approved plans within resource areas and buffer zones.
