New England Engineering Services, Inc. 60 Beechwood Drive North Andover, MA 01845 Re: Subsurface Sewage Disposal System Plan for 61 Windsor Lane, Map 106D, Lot 66 Dear Mr. Osgood: The proposed septic system design plans for the above site dated December 23, 2004 and received on December 28, 2004 has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it 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. 1. The soils shown do not specify that the C-horizon was a gravelly Sandy Loam. Field notes show 50% aggregate, of which— 10% were boulders. -220(4)(h) 2. Please specify that the septic tank shall be tested for watertightness—both for infiltration and leaking. If tank cannot be made watertight, it must be replaced. Also, if the tank is not 1,500 gallon, it will have to be either replaced or a variance requested. Additionally, you might wish to consider using an effluent filter in the septic tank. Please feel free to contact the office with any questions you may have. We look forward to working with you to obtain a septic system which will be in compliance with all regulations and assure protection of public health and the environment of North Andover.

Sawyer, REDS/RS Public Health Director cc: Owner File Page 1 of 1 elle hi ie, Pamela From: Andrew McBrearty [amcbrearty @millriverconsulting.com] Bent: Friday, January 28, 2005 2:20 PM To: info@millriverconsulting.com; 'Susan Sawyer'; Pamela Dellechiaie Cc: 'Lisa LeVasseur(E-mail)'; mgrant @townofnorthandover.com Subject: 61 Windsor Lane Sue & Pam, Here is the plan review for 61 Windsor Lane. I am including both an approval and disapproval letter. The soil test data on the plan does not show the large amount of aggregate found during testing, and this would be an important piece of information for an installer to know when preparing bids. I'd rather have a home owner know ahead of time that excavation will (could) be more expensive because of the number of stones that will be encountered, and will have to be removed if found during preparation of the bed bottom. There is no specific note about verification of the watertightness of the existing septic tank. I have included this in both letters, as it is crucial to the system. We have had issues with re-used tanks being undersized, so I also have a note for this as well (replace or variance request required). thanks, -andy Andrew McBrearty, Project Manager Mill River Consulting Septic System Management Services 2 Blackburn Center Gloucester, MA 01930-2259 ph: 978-282-0014 or 1-800-377-3044 fax: 978-282-0012 www,mil lri\rercorisLiltir:tg.coM aiiiebi'earty(�z),rii it lrivei°corisrIltirtg.corrn 2/2/2005 ....,.................... �.._. .� NEW ENGLAND ENGINEERING SERVICES December 27, 2004 Susan Sawyer North Andover Board of Health 400 Osgood Street North Andover, MA 01845 Re: 61 Windsor Lane, North Andover Septic System Design Dear Susan, The following plans and enclosures for the above referenced property are being submitted for approval. 1, (3) Copies of the Septic System Design Plaids. 2.
