A. 
The Commission shall convey all site-specific pre-construction requirements within the order of conditions or the determination of applicability. The following general pre-construction requirements apply to all orders of conditions unless specifically waived by the Commission:
(1) 
Before any clearing, grading, filling, or any other construction activity, a continuous siltation barrier shall be built according to plans and as presented during the hearing, to control potential surface water flow and intercept sediment from the work area. The preferred siltation barrier is built according to the following diagram:
147 Siltation Barrier.tif
(2) 
Once the siltation barrier is in place, the Agent to the Harvard Conservation Commission shall be called (978-456-4100 Extension 321) for inspection and approval to proceed. Please allow five working days for scheduling an inspection; no other work may be undertaken until this approval is complete. The inspection will also include other pre-construction conditions as noted in the order of conditions, such as the posting of the DEP file number.
(3) 
Following siltation barrier approval, no storage of materials, tree or brush cuttings, or any construction activity may take place outside, on the wetlands side, of the diked area. The siltation barrier is considered the "limit of disturbance and activity" and absolutely no activity shall take place in that area without the express approval of the Commission.
(4) 
As soon as possible but in no event later than 24 hours after each rain storm, the siltation barrier shall be inspected and replaced or repaired as needed. Any material accumulated behind the barrier shall be removed promptly and placed appropriately in the work area, not in the wetland or buffer zone, or removed from the site and deposited in an approved upland file site. Any accidental damage to the siltation barrier must be repaired within one day and no work may proceed on the site until damage to the barrier is corrected. No work will take place during or immediately after rain storms.
As part of a permit issued pursuant to this Bylaw, the Commission shall impose such conditions as are necessary to protect the value of the wetlands, related water resources, and adjoining upland resource areas under its jurisdiction.
Permits issued pursuant to the Bylaw and these regulations may be combined and released within an order of conditions which may be issued pursuant to M.G.L. Chapter 131, § 40, as amended.
If the Commission deems that the interests stated in the Bylaw are not adequately protected under the terms of the petitioner's proposal, the Commission may refuse to issue a permit. When the Commission votes to deny a permit, it shall issue a written decision.
The applicant may be required to send copies of permits and decisions issued pursuant to the Bylaw to the Select Board, Planning Board, Driveway Inspector, Fire Department, Bare Hill Pond Watershed Management Committee, Board of Health, and/or Building Commissioner.
The Commission may issue an extension permit for a period of one to three years, provided that a written request for an extension is filed at least 30 days prior to the expiration date of the original permit.
The Commission may revoke or amend a permit issued under the Bylaw if any of the following occur(s):
A. 
Revocation.
(1) 
The petitioner and/or their successors fail to comply with the terms of the permit;
(2) 
The petitioner and/or their successors fail to comply with the terms of other Town permits which have been issued for the project and the issuing authority has requested in writing that the Commission revoke the wetlands permit.
B. 
Amendment.
(1) 
Relatively minor changes which result in the same or decreased impact on the interests protected by the Act and the Bylaw may be effectuated through an amendment to the order of conditions;
(2) 
If the Commission determines that the project purpose or scope has changed substantially or that the interests specified in the Wetlands Protection Act and/or the Bylaw are not protected, then no amendment shall be issued, and the applicant will be required to file a new notice of intent;
(3) 
A request to amend an order of conditions shall be submitted to the Commission in writing at least seven days prior to the meeting of the Commission at which it is to be initially considered. The request shall include a narrative description of the proposed change(s) along with a site plan showing the original design along with the proposed change(s). A copy of the written narrative and the modified plan should, at the same time, be submitted to the DEP regional office;
(4) 
If the Commission determines that a new notice of intent is not necessary, the Commission shall publish in a local newspaper, at the applicant's expense, notice in the same form as utilized for notices of intent, to inform the public that an amendment to the order of conditions will be considered at a public hearing. In addition, the applicant must follow the same requirements of abutter notification as if a notice of intent were filed;
(5) 
Under no circumstances will the issuance of an amended order of conditions extend the effective date of the original final order of conditions. The amended order shall run with the term of the original order of conditions or the effective date of an extended order of conditions.
