Dear Mr. Oberlander,
This correspondence is in response to the letter you sent to the North Andover Health
Department regarding the address listed above. Along with the submission of the soil
evaluation forms,you requested a written concurrence with recorded data in regards to the soil at
this site. As indicated by my previous note, we have been reviewing your submission.
A careful review of all of the information has lead Health Department personnel to a
determination of the soils observed at 544 Foster Street as compacted. Therefore,this office
cannot issue a written concurrence of your determination of not compacted soils. Although
many of the items listed in the letter are not in dispute,there are disagreements. The specific
items are as follows.
1) Your#5 indicated, "Very little pressure was required to crush the samples". The
definition of pressure can be disputed. The Health Director and myself felt that the
soil was very firm and ruptured after significant pressure. The soil was not loose.
2) Your#4 indicated, "Water entered test pits quite quickly". Again, speed is relative.
There appeared to be water from hill runoff as well as slower weeping from ground
water.
In addition,historical observations of standing water on this .7-acre property,which is primarily
in the flood plain and bounded by a stream and wetlands, give cause for great concern in the
placement of a conventional septic system. Our concerns for the environment and for future
owners of the property require this office to take a conservative line in this determination. You
have,however,the right to disagree and appear before the Board of Health. If you would like to
perform any additional site testing,the Health Department will be available to witness these
BOARD OF APPEALS 688-9541 BUILDING 688-9545 CONSERVATION 688-9530 BEALT-1 688-9540 PLANNING 688-9535
tests. We would suggest that an impartial third party agreeable to both groups be also present if
additional tests are to be performed.
Sincerely,l
Susan Ford,R.S.

RE: SOIL EVALUATION FOR SEPTIC SYSTEM REPAIR AT 544 FOSTER STREET,NORTH ANDOVER,MA
Dear Ms. Ford:
Thank you for your letter dated January 26, 2001 regarding our soil evaluation for the referenced
site. We understand your opinion that the on site soils should be considered compacted. As you
know, your evaluation reduces the design Long Term Acceptance Rate (LTAR) to 0.15 gpd/sf. In
addition, this classification will require a pressure distribution system rather than a conventional
leaching area.
Please note the following variances that we are requesting for this septic system upgrade:
1. Title 5: 310 CMR 15.140--Percolation Test: Use sieve analysis and soil evaluation to determine
the LTAR. As you know, the high groundwater at the time of the percolation test prevented
percolating in the C layer.
2. Title 5: 310 CMR 15.211--Minimum Setback Distances: Reduce property line setback from Soil
Absorption System from 10-feet to 6-feet along the street right of way. The available area for the
septic system is quite small due to wetland setback requirements.
We understand that you concur with the rest of the soil evaluation data contained in our submittal—
specifically the estimated seasonal high groundwater table. We will continue with our design based
on the submitted data and the revised classification of compacted.
We would appreciate written confirmation of our variance requests so that we can add it to our DEP
submittal package. Please call me if you have any questions or require further information. Thank
you for your attention.

Dear Ms. Ford:
The purpose of this letter is to submit our soil evaluation forms and request written concurrence with
our ccuondmd du<u' As you know, n u<oodurd percolation test was not possible due to the saturated
conditions caused by a relatively high groundwater table coupled with several days of rain prior to
the field testing. We have estimated the mcaaonu\ high groundwater tub}o using the no11|tm noted in
test pit 3 (nox/ shallow mottles no/u/ 38' below grade or o/uvu//on }23.0,). This elevation
compares favorably with the water surface o\cvn ti on in the wetland area /,/ovu//on /22. 0

Lnmn category per the Title 5 soil textural triangle. A representative munp|c o f this material was
submitted for laboratory analysis which revealed ucomposition of656 sand, about 347silt, and
less than I% clay. See attached laboratory analysis.
l]uiug Appendix l of the DlIP`a /\|tcrno1ivo to Percolation Testing for System Upgrades, we
determined that the soils are not compacted per the following criteria:
l' The backhoe (rubber tire backhoe/loader) did not have any difficulty excavating the C layer. The
bucket did not chatter across the surface nor was it restricted to mba\\ov cuts.
2. The side of the excavation was friable 1ofi/rn. lt could be penetrated with the point ofoshovel.
3. Few rock fragments were noted in the ouu1uda\.
4. Water entered the test pits quite quickly. The water level in u nearby abandoned well was
observed to drop quite quickly ua the water from the well uumiug poruo|o1od into the teat pd.
5' When squeezed between thumb and ho,uin��r' some samples o f soil did rupture suddenly
while others were more gradual. In all cases, very little pressure was required 10 crush tile
samples.
