We were concerned with the grading that was being done on the site so at the time the foundation was being located a topography of the site was conducted. Due to the location and elevation of the stone retaining wall and the grades, the breakout criteria could not be met for the original design. The enclosed sketch shows the existing site conditions, the approved septic location and the new proposed septic location. The original septic design, revised to June 1, 1995, was for the installation of 2 trenches: 79' long, 4' wide, 12" deep. Total system area was 948 s.f. and system capacity was 663.6 gallons. In order to meet breakout, according to existing conditions, the septic system was redesigned to 2 trenches: 54' long, 4' wide, 24" deep. Total system area is 864 s.f. and system capacity is 669.6 gallons. All system design calculations and invert information are shown on the sketch. These trenches are designed in the same location as the original design, starting at the end of the original trench locations and then running 54' along the same line as the original design. The system does not require any fill requirement. We ask that you accept this sketch as the revised septic design for this lot and we will reflect these changes on the "as-built".

Neve Associates conducted deep observation hole testing which was witnessed by Ms. Sandy Starr, Health Agent. Due to scheduling time constraints, the percolation tests could not be performed. On May 12 , 1994 , we received a proposal for engineering services from Mr. Neve which advised that percolation tests could not be performed until July due to a scheduled vacation of the Health Agent. Due to a pending offer from a buyer to purchase this lot, we are unable to wait until July for percolation testing and subsequent redesign. This offer has been made subject to percolation test results. As you are probably aware, we are absorbing significant additional costs to secure a new septic system permit and, most likely, a new order of Conditions from -the Conservation Commission. We respectfully request an appointment as soon as possible with the Board of Health, the Health Agent, or other representative -to witness the required percolation testing in order for us to proceed with design and the sale of this lot. We have requested Mr. Thomas E. Neve, P.E. , to contact you to make the necessary arrangements. Sincere y yo rs, William E.E.

Neve Associates, Inc. 447 Old Boston Road Topsfield, MA Re: Lot 13A Equestrian Drive Dear Tom: It is possible, of course, to use old tests and still design a new system that this department will approve. However, were the new design to place the leaching area in the same location as that shown on the plan dated, August 7, 1985, it would not be approved. New soil tests would definitely be required. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at the number above. Sincerely, �-- Sandra Starr, R.S.

This plan was previously approved and has expired. Our client has asked that we update this plan so that it can be approved by your Board.
