Re: 194 Olympic Lane (Map 1068, Lot 128)
Dear Mr. Osgood:
The proposed wastewater system design plan for the above site dated July 22, 2009 and received
on August 6, 2009 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.
,('/I. There is only one test pit in the area of the proposed leaching facility. A Local Upgrade
Approval request is required (3 10 CMR 15.102).
v12. Please provide the elevation of the existing building sewer outlet and the existing septic
tank inlet.
Please confirm that the slope of the existing building sewer meets the minimum
requirements of 310 CMR 15.222(6).
V" 4. Please provide a statement indicating that the existing septic tank that is proposed to
remain meets the minimum requirements of 310 CMR 15.227.
5. On sheet I of 2, the design plan indicates the use of an effluent filter inside the existing
septic tank. Please indicate to the Zabel model to be used and provide a statement
indicating the required annual maintenance in accordance with 310 CMR 15.227(7).
If an effluent filter is proposed in the existing septic tank the access manhole cover is
required to be at finish grade 310 CMR 15.227(7).
7. Please provide buoyancy calculations for the existing septic tank or a statement indicating
why buoyancy calculations are not required (3 10 CMR 15.221(8)).
8. Please provide an inlet tee/baffle in the distribution box (3 10 CMR 15.232(3)(a).
9. On sheet 2 of 2, the design plan indicates a riser above the distribution box shall be
within 9" of finish grade. Please indicate that the riser shall be within 6" of finish grade
(3 10 CMR 15.221(13)).

'10. The design plan indicates the force main as a2" and 3"line. Please clarify what size is
proposed to be used. If a 3" force main is proposed then the backflow calculations should
be revised accordingly.
11. Please indicate that the removal of unsuitable soil shall extend 6" into natural soil (NA
9.02).
12. It is unclear the limit of the impervious barrier that is proposed. Please clarify if the
impervious barrier is proposed around all sides of the leach field.
13. On sheet 1 of 2, the design plan indicates the top of the chamber elevation as 96.59' and
the finish grade above the leach field as 96.59'. It appears that the finish grade elevation
should be 97.59'. Please modify the plan accordingly.
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.
