Re: Alternative On-Site Sewage Treatment
Monitoring and Reporting Requirement

DEP Facility ID: MCF156
Dear Mr. Thomas Shea:
The Department has received a letter from J & R Sales & Service, Inc. dated November 22,
1999, requesting reduction or elimination of monitoring and reporting of pH, BOD and TSS on a
quarterly basis on the effluent from the alternative on-site sewage disposal system at the above
referenced facility. The Department's Approval for Remedial Use for the technology, in section III
(4) states that"After one year of monitoring and reporting, and at the requc_,: of the owner/operator
the Department may reduce or eliminate these monitoring and reporting requirements."
The Department, having reviewed the monitoring data for this, technology, in general, and
your system, approves the request to reduce effluent monitoring of the system, from four times to
one time per year. The data has demonstrated that the technology provides environmental protection
at least equivalent to a conventional Title 5 system. The change in monitoring requirements in no
way changes the requirement that, throughout its use, the system shall be under an operation and
maintenance agreement with a person or firm qualified to provide services consistent with the
system's specifications. As a condition of allowing you to reduce effluent monitoring, however, by
January 31 of each year, you must submit to the Department an annual report for the calendar year
that includes: 1) a description of the operation of the system; 2) system inspection and emergency
service information; 3) any other pertinent information that describes the condition of the system;
and 4) results of the annual effluent monitoring. The report shall be prepared by the operator
contracted to inspect and maintain the system.. Additionally, as required by the Approval for the
system, any time the operator changes, you shall notify the Department and tlle local approving
authority, in writing, within seven days of such change.
This information is available in alternate format by calling our ADA Coordinator at(617)574-6872.

should discuss any changes from the local monitoring requirements, if any apply to your system,
with your local Board of Health officials.
