Pennoni Associates, Inc. 100 Burtt Road, Suite 120 Andover, MA 01810 Re: 1020 Salem Street (Map104D, Lot 32) Dear Mr. Osgood: The proposed wastewater system design plan for the above site dated October 28, 2013 and received on November 6, 2013 has been reviewed. Unfortunately, the plan 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. Please provide the soil testing date,name of the soil evaluator, Board of Health representative and the percolation test log on the design plan (3 10 CMR 15.220(4)). /2. Please provide a statement identifying whether the property is within or not within the (..,/' Lake Cochichwick watershed (NA 3.2). Please sign and date the elevation/location statement provided on the design plan (NA 3.2). ' . It is unclear whether the topographic information was completed by Pennoni Associates Inc. or New England Engineering. Please clarify this on the design plan. 5. An inspection port is required in the soil absorption system (3 10 CMR 15.240(13)). l 6. Under"System Elevations", there appears to be a typo as no Trench 2 End is depicted. If Trench t End 148.75 (Ex) is supposed to be Trench 2 End then there is not a 0.5% slope for Trench 2 from existing end (148.75) to proposed end (148.70). 7. The breakout elevation of 149.2 is not met on the southern and eastern side of the proposed leach trenches. Please revise the proposed finish grades accordingly to meet the breakout requirement. . Please clearly indicate on the design plan the date of the as-built plan for the existing system.

Upon receipt of the approval letter, we kindly request that your department expedite approval for issuance of the buildiugponuit. The following are the reasons for our request: • Doc to the |otu date in the year vvewould likely not be able to start construction on the septic system without going past the town's cutoff for completion of the system. • YVu are however able to start on the addition and would like toget the foundation io this fall before frost enters the ground so as to avoid spring site work and to he able to start framing directly their after. • We are committed to starting the septic system in the spring and completing it as soon umfeasible and before the addition iofiuiahed. The main purpose of adding the addition to our house ia\o provide a sun room for our fbrui|v and not an added bedroom, as such the impact while technically adds u bedroom will not adversely 'ctthe existing compliant system during construction. In order to keep to a strict schedule and complete construction expeditiously, we would like to move forward with construction aa soon umpossible. Currently, we are receiving bids onthe septic aymtoou upgrade including excavation work for the addition and will be securing a contractor soon, but have not done aotodate.

The design has been approved for use in the construction of the expansion of an existing onsite 4-bedroom septic system to a 5-bedroom (max 11-room)home. This plan is generally good for 3 years from the date of approval, however as a condition of this approval this system is agreed to be installed by no later than July 2014. The Health Director has accepted this agreement, as a condition of approval of the building permit application for an addition with a garage and a bedroom as depicted on plans provided by Russell Bousquet; signed and dated October 23, 2013. These plans are accepted as an 11-room home. Prior to July 2014, a licensed septic system installer must obtain a permit and complete this work, and a Certificate of Compliance be endorsed by the installer, designer and the Town of North Andover. Failure to do so will result in a request to be present at a Board of Health meeting to address the members directly, as to why this agreement has not been adhered to. This approval is also subject to the following conditions: 1. If site conditions are found in the field to be different from those indicated on the design plan and/or soil evaluation, the originally issued Disposal System Construction Page 1 of 2 North Andover Health Department, 1600 Osgood Street, Smite 2035, North Andover, MA 01.845 Phone: 978.688.9540 Fax: 978.688.8476 1020 Saleni Street November 19, 2013 Permit is void, installation shall stop, and the applicant shall reapply for a new Disposal Systems Construction Permit(3 10 CMR 15.020(1)). 2.
