The following is a list of all the `Problem' areas and deficiencies Fort Engineering has found, • "There is a discrepancy in the logging of TES 2. The plan shows mottling at 42" while the'Town Health Agent field notes shows mottling at 36". If it is determined that the Town Health Agent's information is correct,then the entire leaching bed must be raised by 0.5 . • The elevation of the top and bottom of the proposed impervious barrier should be listed. (The DEP report entitled "Guidance of Maximum Feasible Compliance" suggests that the bottom of the impervious barrier be 4 feet below the bottom of leaching bed and at least 2 feet into the natural soils.) • A waiver request to reduce the separation between ES1-1W and the bottom of system from the required 4 feet to 3 feet must be added. • A local waiver request from NA 9.02 must be added in order to use a poly barrier rather than the Town of North Andover requirement that impervious barriers be made of poured concrete. • A note must be added that distribution lines must be connected with solid pipe. NA 15.01 • A swale is required along the south property line as it abuts the leaching bed because the toe of slope is closer than 5 feet from the property line. 310 CMR 255(2) Minor comments: o 'there is a discrepancy in the logging of TP 2. The plan shows the Ca and Q2 PORT horizons to have a texture of fine sand while the Town Health Agent field notes show these horizons to have a texture of sandy loam. Either texture will still be a I� I Class l soil and therefore will have no effect on the design. u The existing septic tank will continue to be used according to the design plans. I assume that the capacity of this existing tank is at least 1000 gallons and that the (:ivil Engincer-8+fir baffles are adequate.
