Subject: 730 Winter Street inspection
Attachments: 730 Winter Street Const Inspection.docx
Bed bottom inspection completed today. 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.

I spoke to Curt. 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. We felt that Chad could explain to the owner what is
needed from them.
For information; below is the contact infor.for the engineer in case you need it.
Thanks

Hi Curt,
called Chad Jablonski today. 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

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.

RE: Re: Subsurface Sewage Disposal System Plan for 730 Winter Street (Map 104A, Lot
Dear Property Owner,
The North Andover Board of Health has completed the review of the septic system design plans,
for the above referenced property, submitted on your behalf by Atlantic Engineering & Survey
Consultants Inc., dated January 11, 2012, last revised March 6, 2012. The design has been
approved for use in the construction of a replacement, four bedroom (maximum 9 room home),
on-site septic system. Generally, this plan is good for 3-years from the date of approval, however
as this is a repair system Title V requires that the system be installed within 2 years.
During this time, a licensed septic system installer must obtain a permit and complete this work,
and a Certificate of Compliance be endorsed by the installer, designer and the Town of North
Andover. In the event an imminent health problem such as sewage backup into the dwelling is
occurring, the North Andover Board of Health may reduce the time period for which this plan is
valid.
The following variances to local regulations have been approved.
L A reduction of the required setback of a septic tank to a wetland from 75 feet to 50 feet
2. A reduction of the required setback of a soil absorption area to a wetland from 100 feet to
53 feet.
The following local upgrades have been approved.
1. The vertical offset from SAS to the estimated water table from 4 feet to 3 feet
2. A reduction of the required setback of 10 feet to 8 feet

This approval is also subject to the following conditions:
1. Please keep the attached DEP Form 9b for your records
2. If site conditions are found in the field to be different from those indicated on the
design plan and/or soil evaluation, the originally issued Disposal System Construction
Permit is void, installation shall stop, and the applicant shall reapply for a new
Disposal Systems Construction Permit (3 10 CMR 15.020(1)).
3. It is the responsibility of the applicant and/or the applicant's septic system designer,
septic system installer or other representative to ensure that all other state and
municipal requirements are met. These may include review by the Conservation
Commission, Zoning Board, Planning Board, Building Inspector, Plumbing Inspector
and/or Electrical Inspector. The issuance of a Disposal System Construction Permit
shall not construe and/or imply compliance with any of the aforementioned
requirements.
Your effort to provide a properly functioning septic system for your dwelling is greatly
appreciated. The Health Department may be reached at 978-688-9540 with any questions you
