The following items have been added. 1. The water line serving the facility 2. The soil texture on one of the test pit logs. A separate sheet which is enclosed has the buoyancy calculations and they show that the tank will not float. Since all of your concerns regarding this design have been addressed I would expect the requested local upgrade approvals be acted on by the Board of Health at its next regular meeting, If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact this office.

MA DESIGN PARAMETERS: I, Water table elevation is 20" below the surface of the ground 2. Concrete weight= 150 lbs./cu. Ft. 3. Soil weight= 110 lbs./cu.Ft, Determine weight of tank and soil above tank. Weight of tank=weight of top+weight of bottom+weight of sides. = 10,5'x 5.66' x 0.33' x 150 lbs,/cu.

If the weight of water is greater than the weight of the tank and covering soil,then the tank will float, CONCLUSION: Weight of water=20,989 lbs. Which is less than the weight of the tank and covering soil(31,5541bs.).

SCOTT ACHU5 Director April 22, 1998 Ben Osgood, Jr. New England Engineering 33 Walker Road North Andover, MA 01845 RE: 1116 Salem Street Dear Ben: As you should remember, I spoke to you about this site and the proposed septic system design prior to its discussion at the Board of Health meeting on March 261h. I told you that I could not recommend the requested variance to allow less than 900 square feet of leach field as required in the local regulations. At the Board meeting, the owner, Mr. Farah, appeared and stated that he had asked you to design a leach area of 1000 square feet. The Board granted the request for a reduction to groundwater and the 84 feet to wetlands. They did not, however, grant the request for a reduction in the size of the leach area, but directed me to solve the difficulty with you. I have left messages and mentioned this to you on at least two occasions, however, to date the issue has not been resolved. If necessary, I would be happy to meet with you on either April 271" or 28th at 9:30 A.M. to discuss the matters. Please let me know if either of these times are convenient for you.
