Report is attached. Things that are of note are: • One corner of the overdig was not fully removed due to the tight space they have to work in. We measured it and he reports he will remove it. He seemed genuine and said he will make sure to show where it is dug out in the final inspection. I have no reason to doubt him for such a small amount of digging but did want to call that to your attention in case you wish to, or wish to have us,go check that out to confirm. • He made a useful observation that the inspection port is proposed to go all the way down to the water table and could pose a path for sewage to migrate directly from the soil absorption system to the water table. He is going to check with the designer to see if the bottom of it can be brought up higher to prevent this potential problem from occurring. • The tank was backfilled and I could not see if there was stone beneath it. He reports that he did put 6" of stone below, as it is standard practice to do so. When I asked about it further he pulled out the list of inspections that are required per the Health Department and he said it does not indicate the stone at the bottom of the tank needs to be seen. I felt in an awkward position and did not push anything further at this time. Even if I had made him dig it up to show me, he could not have done so at this time as there was basically no room to move any equipment or soil on this tight site until the soil absorption system is built. My gut says to let it go but did want to call that to your attention as well. Any questions, let me know.

He would like you to be the contact with the installer, so when you get a chance please call Chad. Note that we have received the paper application; the fee; and the management obligation form. Michele's email forwarded to you details what else we need before he can pick up the permit and a copy of the approved plan. He has not given us a copy of his Presby certification. We also do not have the owner notice stating that they understand what technology is going in, and what their responsibilities are.

He was supposed to come in on Friday morning to submit paperwork and pull a Permit for 730 Winter street. Chad has not submitted even the quote for 730 Winter to Amy Brennan as of today at 1:45pm. Chad is out of town tomorrow and probably won't be here until at least Wed. April 9th 2014. The closing date on this home is April 17th. I communicated,that a conversation should take place with Amy Brennan and the new owner regarding timing. Our Engineer (Mill River)will have several inspections throughout the construction and final paperwork will need to be submit to the Health Department prior the issuance of the COC. Weather also plays a role in completion. Heavy Rain can stop a job. He inquired as to whether or not the Health Department would issue COC early(Prior to the completion of the SAS) and allow the new horneowner to move in. I said "No". Our office has never done that. I'll let you know if there's anything else Michele F.

Andover, Ma. The applicant is seeking two waivers from the Town of North Andover Board of Health Bylaw. 1. Reduce the setback of the SAS from the Wetland resource area from 100' to 53'(NA 3.9). 2. Reduce the setback of the septic tank from the Wetland resource area from 75' to 50'(NA3.9). Thai�----� y-- J �a son,President A. 730 Winter Street—Request from George Zambouras,P.E. of Atlantic Engineering& Survey Consultants, Inc. of Georgetown, MA to: 1. Reduce the setback of the SAS from the Wetland resource area from 100' to 53' (NA 3.9) 2. Reduce the setback of the septic tank from the Wetland resource area from 75' to 50'NA 3.9) Bob Lynch was the representative from Atlantic Engineering. Mr.Lynch stated that 730 Winter Street is an existing 4-bedroom house. The septic system has failed due to the water level. Soil testing was done,and good soil was found where the existing system is. There was ledge and large glacial rocks that don't allow testing in the other areas. The property is also Parallel to wetlands on the left hand side and they opted not to go there because there are a lot of woods. Mr. Lynch stated that they could go up the hill with a pump system,or put in a gravity system. A typical system is pipes and stone. The effluent runs into the bottom of the system and creates a biomat which breaks down the bacteria in it. The Presby system is a 12 inch pipe, 10 inches on the inside. On the outside,there is a fiber mesh that harbors bacteria on it. There is a"lagoon"in the middle,which receives oxygen and breaks bacteria treated waste which then flows out to the fibrous area on the outside of the filter fabric that also keeps soil and sand from infiltrating back into the system. This system is vented with the candy cane pipe that one frequently sees embedded in the ground for properties who have this type of septic system. This vent allows air in so that the system can receive a lot of oxygen which allows the bacteria to break down the waste. The Presby system has an advantage of 40%less space. This allows a smaller footprint for the septic system and a more efficient bacterialized system. The sand around it is concrete sand which is cracked rock,a very sharp sand. The concrete sand has more surface on it, and locks together differently,and allows more surface area. The type of system installed is primarily the engineer's choice. In New Hampshire,it was noted that most septic systems are the Presby system. The cost is similar to standard system,perhaps slightly more. Motion: Dr. MacMillan made a motion to approve the requested waivers as follows: 3.Allow a reduction in septic tank wetlands separation from 75' to 50' (BOH Regulation 39- Tablel)as allowed by local upgrade approval; 4. Allow reduction in soi8l absorption area—wetlands separation from 100' to 53' (BOH Regulation 3.9-Table 1)as allowed by local upgrade approval. The motion was seconded by Mr.Fixler. B. 491 Salem Street—Local Variance Requests from Bill Dufresne of Merrimack Engineering 1. Distance from S.A.S.to wetland from 10' to 60' 2. Distance from septic tank to wetland from 75' to 58' 3. Distance from pump tank to wetland from 75' to 67' Local Upgrade Approval Vertical offset from S.A.S.to E.W.W.T, from 4' to 3' Ms. Sawyer explained that the system,as designed,proposes a setback of 60 ft from the S.A.S.to a wetland where 100 ft.is required and 58 ft. from the septic tank to a wetland where 75 ft. is required. They are not able to put the system in the front,as there is a ditch that holds water in front of the property. This area does not have access to sewer. This has a pump that puts out 40- 60 gallons of water per day to saturate the system.
