Susan,
Please find attached the disapproval letter for the above referenced property. I have also attached Randy's field book
notes from the soil testing because the logs on the plan were inconsistent with our notes.
They are seeking an LUA for the reduction in the offset to the ESHWT and the reason on the LUA form is"there is no
other location on the lot". This is not a good reason but I am not sure how easily this LUA is granted by the BOH. I just
wanted to point this out to you.
Overall the design is good just a handle full of drafting errors. I guess Ben is back on his own???
Please let me know if you have any questions. I will be sending along the Rea Street review later today.
Thanks,
Isaac

Re: 114 Stonecleave Road (Map 104B, Lot 138)
Dear Mr. Osgood:
The proposed wastewater system design plan for the above site dated October 19, 2009 and
received on October 20, 2009 has been reviewed. Unfortunately, the plan 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. It appears that there is an easement(30' ROW) on the eastern portion of the lot. Please
indicate the holder of this easement(3 10 CMR 15.220(4)(b)).
2. The soil logs on the design plan do not match the Board of Health records on file. We
have included a copy of the field book notes for your reference. Also the soil colors are
missing for all the horizons in TP1 and TP2—C2 and C3.
3. The percolation test data indicated on the plan that only 15 gallons of water was used
during the presoak. Title 5, 310 CMR 15.105(6) requires 24 gallons of water have to be
added during the presoak in order to assume the percolation rate is <2 minutes/inch.
4. Please provide a benchmark within 50 to 75 feet of the system components (3 10 CMR
15.220(4)(q))
5. Please indicate the location and proper abandonment of the existing system (3 10 CMR
15.354).
6. The site plan indicates the septic tank is proposed 10' from the foundation but the profile
view notes it is 25' from the foundation. Please clarify this discrepancy.
7. The scale of the profile view is not indicated.
8. The design plan indicates the use of an effluent filter inside the existing septic tank.
Please indicate the DEP approved brand and model to be used and provide a statement
indicating the required annual maintenance in accordance with 310 CMR 15.227(7).
9. Please provide an inlet tee/baffle in the distribution box (3 10 CMR 15.232(3)(a).
10. The system curve and pump curve appear to be labeled incorrectly.
11. The detail of the pump chamber depicts the inlet pipe entering the tank at the outlet invert
(92.20') and the outlet force main leaving the tank at the inlet invert. However, in the
1600 Osgood Street HEALTH DEPARTMENT Page 1 of 1
Building 20;Suite 2-36 -Mail: healthdept@townofiiorthandover.com
North Andover,MA 01845 Phone:976.686.9540 Fax:978.688.8476
profile view the inverts indicate the inlet pipe to be at 92.45' and the outlet force main
pipe to be 92.20'. Please clarify this discrepancy.
12. In the profile view, the access manhole covers above the septic tank and pump chamber
should be depicted at the outlet end of the tanks.
Although technically not items for disapproval,you may want to consider the following aspects
of the design.
• Require the force main to completely drain back to the pump chamber when the
pump turns off instead of keeping some effluent in the belly of force main as
shown in the profile view.
• You may want consider providing a vent for the leaching facility.
Please feel free to contact the office with any questions you may have. We look forward to
working with you to obtain a wastewater treatment and dispersal system which will be in
compliance with all regulations and assure protection of public health and the environment of
North Andover.

the date of the approval in accordance with current local regulations and 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.
The approval includes a Local Upgrade Approval for the request a one foot reduction to the

feet. This approval comes with future restrictions which prohibit the increase in the size of the

Dear Mr. &Mrs. Adams:
Upon review of the properties owned by you and located on assessors map 104B parcels 137 &
138 1 have the following observation. The properties in question are located in the R-1 zoning
district, which requires 2 acres in area and 175 feet of street frontage. The parcels combined have
slightly over the required area to be considered one(1) buildable lot. I hope that this satisfies your
questions on this matter. Should you have further questions I may be reached between the hours
of 8:30 — 10:00 AM and 1:00—2:00 PM at 978-688-9545.
Respectfully,
Michael McGuire
