LISS Lieutenant Governor Commissioner December 21, 1999 Amit Baned i 369 Salem Street North Andover, Massachusetts 01845 Re: Alternative On-Site Sewage Treatment Monitoring and Reporting Requirement 369 Salem Street, North Andover, Massachusetts 01845 DEP Facility ID: SHF13 Dear Mr. Amit Banedi: The Department has received a letter from J & R Sales & Service, Inc. dated October 27, 1999, requesting reduction or elimination of monitoring and reporting of pH, BOD and TSS on a quarterly basis on the effluent from the alternative on-site sewage disposal system at the above referenced facility. The Department's Approval for Remedial Use for the technology, in section III (4.) states that "After one year of monitoring and reporting, and at the requc.. of the owner/operator the Department may reduce or eliminate these monitoring and reporting requirements." The Department, having reviewed the monitoring data for this technology, in general, and your system, approves the request to reduce effluent monitoring of the system, from four times to one time per year. The data has demonstrated that the technology provides environmental protection at least equivalent to a conventional Title 5 system. The change in monitoring requirements in no way changes the requirement that, throughout its use, the system shall be under an operation and maintenance agreement with a person or firm qualified to provide services consistent with the system's specifications. As a condition of allowing you to reduce effluent monitoring, however, by January 31 of each year, you must submit to the Department an annual report for the calendar year that includes: 1) a description of the operation of the system; 2) system inspection and emergency service information; 3) any other pertinent information that describes the condition of the system; and 4) results of the annual effluent monitoring. The report shall be prepared by the operator contracted to inspect and maintain the system.. Additionally, as required by the Approval for the system, any time the operator changes, you shall notify the'Department and the local approving authority, in writing, within seven days of such change. This information is available in alternate format by calling our ADA Coordinator at(617)574-6872. DEP on the World Wide Web: http:llwww state.ma.usldep �«1 Printed on Recycled Paper Re: Monitoring and Reporting Requirement Page 2 DEP Facility No.: SHF13 Please be aware this change in monitoring does not apply to any local requirements. You should discuss any changes from the local monitoring requirements, if any apply to your system, with your local Board of Health officials. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Steven H. Corr, of my staff, at (617) 292-5920.
