Re: Wastewater Treatment and Dispersal System Plan for 31 Gray Street
Dear Mr. Borselli:
The proposed wastewater system design plans for the above site dated May 31, 2006 and
received on June 5, 2006 have been reviewed. Unfortunately, they cannot be approved until the
following items are corrected. The specific section in Title 5: 310 CMR 15.000, or North
Andover regulation that is not met by this design follows each item.
1. Please indicate the tax map and lot number for the parcel —220
2. Please indicate the abutters to the parcel from the most recent tax map—NA 8.02
3. Please indicate the presence or absence of water supplies and tributaries thereto within
the setbacks distances indicated in the regulations -220
4. Please indicate the presence or absence of wetland resource areas within the setback
distances indicated in the regulations—NA 8.02
5. Please indicate the basement floor elevation with respect to the ground water elevation
—NA 5.04
6. Please indicate the location of the current or proposed areas for driving and their
relationship to tank,piping or soil absorption system design—220
7. Please provide distances from the septic tank and soil absorption system to the
dwelling and property line-NA 8.03
8. Please indicate the location of water lines, foundation drains and subsurface utilities.
It also appears that the water line and sewer line are crossing (though they are not
labeled), please provide appropriate construction details—220
9. Please provide a benchmark which is within 75' of the proposed construction area-
220
10. Please describe the method to be used to abandon the existing on-site wastewater
system—354

North Andover,MA 01846 phone:978.688.9640 pax:978.688.8476
11. Please clarify the distance between the dwelling and the proposed primary(septic)tank
on the site plan
12. Please indicate that the building sewer is to have watertight joints, to be laid on a
compact and firm base, and is to be laid on continuous grade in a straight line— 222
13. Please provide buoyancy calculations for the tank—221
14. Please indicate the minimum and maximum cover allowed over the primary (septic)
tank and the distribution box—228
15. Please specify the loading of the distribution box to be used—226
16. Please indicate that the distribution box is to have all outlets at the same elevation—
232
17. Please provide the elevation of the percolation test—NA 8.02
18. Please provide a swale where the grading is close to the property boundary—251
19. It does not appear breakout requirements are maintained. Please adjust the design or
provide for a barrier or some other mechanism to meet this standard—255
20. Please clarify Construction Note 13 as it is unclear what the reference to gravel fill is,
and if that applies to this project
21. Trenches are to be used as the soil absorption system mechanism whenever possible.
Please use trenches in this instance or explain why they cannot be utilized -240
22. This design is proposed for new construction (current house is 4 bedrooms and
design is for 5 bedrooms). Accordingly, the design must meet all standards for new
construction including the design of a primary and reserve soil absorption system.
This has not been provided on this design
23. Use of gravel-Less chambers for new construction requires a demonstration that the
site can accommodate a conventional soil absorption system, and only then can
gravel-less chambers be utilized. Please demonstrate compliance with this standard.
You may choose to use a separate drawing or detail if that would assist with
depicting items more clearly- (see approval letter for Infiltrator-brand gravel-less
chambers)
Additionally, you might wish to consider specifying an effluent filter in the primary(septic) tank.
Please feel free to contact the office with any questions you may have. We look forward to
working with you to obtain a wastewater treatment and dispersal system which will be in
compliance with all regulations and assure protection of public health and the environment of
North Andover.

Dear Ms. Sawyer:
Please find attached three (3) copies of a revised Wastewater Treatment and Dispersal System
Plans as well as buoyancy calculations for the subject project as requested. In addition, the
following are responses (by line item) to your letter dated 20 June 2006:
�/"1. The assessors map and parcel has been denoted on the site plan.
, ,2. The abutter's names have been denoted on the site plan.
" 3. Note #10 has been added to the general notes section of the site plan to address this
requirement.
4. Note #11 has been added to the general notes section of the site plan to address this u
requirement.
--/5. The proposed TOC, Slab, and ESHW elevations have been added to the site plan for the
proposed addition.
6. The existing driveway has been added to the site plan.
7. The dimensional offsets for the system components to the property lines have been added to the
site plan.
8. The existing water line location has been added to the plan. The plan shows a proposed re- ?
located water line. It is not known at this point, which measure (re-locating the water line, or
constructing both sewer and water pipes as class 150 pressure and testing) is more cost
effective. It should be noted here, that although it is called out on the plan for re-location, the
latter is an acceptable means, and should not require additional plan revisions.
9. A benchmark has been added to the site plan.
10. A note has been added to the site plan describing the method to abandoning the existing system.
11. The dimensional offset from the proposed septic tank to the existing foundation ahs been added
to the plan.
of
12. Note #17 has been added to the construction notes section of the site plan to address this
requirement.
13. Attached find buoyancy calculations for the proposed septic tank.
14. The minimum and maximum cover requirements for the septic tank and D-Box have been added
to the system profile.
- 1 -
5. The D-box loading requirement has been added to the system profile.
16. The distribution box has outlet elevation requirements as listed in the schedule of elevations. No
revisions necessary.
17. The elevation of the percolation test has been added to the percolation test log.
18. A swale has been added to the site plan.
19. Although breakout measures were obtained previously, the system was re-configured to eliminate
grading along the adjacent property line.
",20. The area requiring gravel fill is often referred to"the over dig"as the requirements of gravel fill
meeting 310 CMR 15.255 is commonly known as "septic sand."
21. Trench configuration on this lot is not possible due to the limited site available to construct such a
G= system. Trench systems require a separation distance of 2 times the height or width of the
trench, whichever is greater. A trench system requires a larger footprint, which cannot be
accommodated on this lot.
22. It was the understanding of this office that the nature of this project was to repair a failed septic
system. A reserve area has been added to the plan, additional soil testing (if required) can be
administered at the time of construction of the leaching facility.
23. The area required for a conventional system has been shown at the end of the proposed leaching
system demonstrating that one can be built.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this submission, please do not hesitate to
contact this office.

RE: Subsurface,Sewage Disposal System Plan for 31 Gray Street
Dear Mr,Boreselli:
The proposed septic system design plans and your letter of response to the previous denial letter,for the above site,,
dated September 6,2006 and received on September 19,2006 have been reviewed, All items except one have been
corrected satisfactorily, As the application stated this soil testing was for an addition.The addition exceeds the
current size of the existing subsurface disposal system.'"this increase is not a repair,rather the increase requires it
to meet all aspects of"new construction". Unfortunately,without.the proper testing within the area of the reserve
the plan cannot be approved.
Please feel free to contact the office with any questions you may have. This has been an ongoing project. The
homeowner was given the permission to proceed with their addition without the prior approval of this plan. This
was a gesture in good faith. In kind,it is expected that the plan for this"new construction"will meet all standards
of Tide V.
We will be as flexible as possible and will not charge an additional fee as your original fee covered the testing.
Please contact this office as soon as possible. We look forward to working with you to obtain a septic system that
will be in compliance with all regulations and assure,protection of public health and the environment of North
Andover.

On June 20, 2006 Susan Jenkins called wondering if Mill River had
approved their Septic Plan.
The plan was submitted to the Health Dept on June 12. The package was not
Complete.
We had been waiting for additional missing information from the Engineer
so as we could send the design to Mill River.
The homeowners have had a very difficult time with the Contractor–William
Penny from Andover Renovations out of Andover, MA.
