The original design was submitted to you last December and was followed by a review response letter fronj the Public Health Director dated; 1/24/2008. The revised plan has addressed the concerns stated in the review and we offer the following comments to each of the items; 1. Please provide a complete profile of the system to scale (NA 8.02c). A "to scale" systertt profile has been added to the plan. 2. Please provide a note on the plan listing all variance requests being sought (220(4)). North Andover routinely does not provide variances to new construction unless the erigineer proposes a systeryj that will guarantee equal protection to the environment. Please address issue. A list of the variances required from the North.Andover Septic Regulations have been added to the plan. They are listed in Note#16 of the General Notes. Two variances are being requested witli this plan. The closest distance between the edge of a wetland and the leaching area is proposed to be 71 feet. Section.5.02 requires the distance to be 100 feet. The leaching area.foot print proposed is S13 S.F. Section. 9.01 requires a ininirnunz of 900 S.F. It should be noted that we are not seeking any vari.an.ces from the Massachusetts "Title V" Environ.rnental Code, 310 CMR 15.000. The revised plan proposes the use of a Elien "In-Drain." system which utilizes Geotextile Sand Filters. T Iris technology has been approved for general use by Mass. D.E.P. The technology provides unproved treatment to septic tank �ffluertt front traditional soil absorption systems. Testing on the effectiveness of the systern was completed at the Massachusetts Alternative Septic System Test Center and has been enclosed for your review. The system as shown has been sized as reconanended by the approved systent design guidelines.

Mote#10 in the General Notes section indicates there are no wetlands within 100 feet of the proposed SAS however, the SAS is located 66 feet from the wetlands on the site plan. Please revise as necessary. Note#10 of the general motes has been revised asreconznaended. 4. Please provide a statement indicating the design will not accommodate the use of a garbage grinder. Note#9 of the general motes has been revised as recon mended. 5. Please provide all distances on the site plan from components and leaching facilities (NA 8.03a-c). Additional, distances have been added to the site plan.. 6. Please specify all connections are to be made watertight (222(3) & (4), NA 11.02). Construction Note#7 has been revised as r-econunended. 7. Please specify all pipe to be laid on a compact firm base on continuous grade in a straight of a line as possible (222(5) & (7)). Construction.Note#19 has been added as reconunended. 8. Please specify all tanks and distribution boxes to be watertight. Construction Note#20 has been added as recontnaended. 9. As depicted an insufficient number of test pits were conducted in the primary disposal area (102(2)). Additional soil observation test holes were viewed and logged on 5122108. The holes ivere ivi.tnessed by the town's consultant. The logs for these pits have been, added to the plains. Two observation test holes have now been located in both the primary disposal area and the reserve disposal areas. Marchionda & Associates, L.P. Engineering and Planning Consultants 10. As depicted an insufficient number of percolation tests were performed in the primary disposal area( 104(4)). The primary and reserve areas have been re-orientated in the area of the percolation. tests. 11. Please include a statement describing why trenchers were not used in the design. A Iajen "In-brain" system ivith Geotextile Sand Filters has been proposed to improve the effluent treatment. 12. Please include the inspection port in the appropriate details. A detail of the proposed inspection port has been added to the typical section. We hope the revised plan has satisfied the board and your staffs concerns.

As we discussed over the phone, the plan proposed does not have any provision as to why the Board of Health should grant the variance. Not to mention the actual variance request is one of 12 missing items. So, the reality is the plan that we have is deficient in many ways and 1 you know that a variance will likely not be approved without remediation of some kind. I would suggest that this plan is not ready to be discussed, however if you want to cone to the meeting tonight just to see if a certain variance would be considered, as in the previous situation, and than come Mack in Feb. for the actual variance that would be ok, Either,way, I will ask for,you to carne in February.

Enclosed for your use are three copies of the plan for the Proposed Disposal System along with the appropriate filing fee. The system as designed meets the State Environmental Code, 310 CMR 15.000. Due to the proximity of the proposed leaching area to a Bordering Vegetated Wetland a variance is required to the Town of North Andover's regulations for subsurface disposal of sanitary sewage. Section 5.02 requires that a Leaching Facility be located 100 feet from a wetland. At its closest point the leaching area is proposed to be located 66 feet to the wetland. We would also like permission to use Deep Hole Observations that were performed over two years ago. These holes were performed by a Certified Soil Evaluator and witnessed by Board of Health inspectors. The results of these observations are included on the submitted plans. It should be noted that the North Andover Conservation Commission has approved the location of the proposed leaching facility and the wetland line delineated on the plan and an Order of Conditions has been issued.

Per your request you have been placed on the Board of Health meeting agenda for March 24,2005. The meeting will be held at 7:OOPM at the recently renovated town hall, second floor,meeting room. At that meeting your requests for variances will be heard. In addition,this office has identified the following concerns that need to be addressed. 1) The leach field detail shows 3:1 slope away from the wall. As this wall is approximately three feet from the lot line,please indicate how this grading would be achieved or remove notation if it is not applicable. If the wall is higher than four feet the standard versa lock walls require anchoring. This plan shows a 40 ird barrier,however this cannot be placed when a geomembrane is needed for the versa-lok wall would penetrate the membrane.Please adjust the wall details for this specific site and submit the documentation indicating specifications. 2) There must be at lease one original stamped plan 15.220(2) 3) Pleases submit the soil evaluation forms for the soil test mentioned in your submission;T-3 dated July 17, 2005. Please submit revised plans or bring them to the Board of Health meeting.

Because this is new construction, and because the percolation rate of 20 minutes per inch does not agree with the stated soil class of 1, your request for a waiver to use outdated soil testing is denied. New testing must be performed in the spring of 2003 with staff from the Health Department. The price for new construction soil testing is $425 as of January 1, 2003. Soil testing will begin in March, depending on weather conditions. Should you have any questions concerning the content of this letter, please contact me. Sincerely, ...........
