Re: Lot 5 Sterling Lane
Dear Ms. Starr:
On behalf of our client, Coolidge Construction Co. Inc., we have prepared a
revised septic system design for the above referenced lot. Enclosed are three copies of
the plans. The septic system design previously submitted for this lot was prepared by
Steven D'Urso. We have taken Mr. D'Urso's plan and revised it to incorporate the
comments that you made in your February 3, 1998 letter of disapproval. The following is
a list of our responses to each of your reasons for disapproval. In order to facilitate your
review of this information, we have reproduced each of your comments in Italics, and our
response to each of your comments immediately follows.
1. Septic system is located under gravel driveway to open space access (310 CMR
15.240(7)).
Coolidge Construction has reached an agreement with the Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Management whereby they will construct the gravel access drive within a
newly created easement along the Lot 4/Lot 5 property line. The proposed leaching
facility will lie outside of the new easement. The original easement will be eliminated.
The new easement plan has been recorded in the North Essex Registry of Deeds as Plan
#13516.
2. Soil tests out of date (N.A., 7.05).
According to Mr. D'Urso, you agreed at the time of the testing in 1995 that the only one
confirmatory test was required in this location. This requirement would be consistent
with the testing provided for the septic system designs for Lots 2 and 3, which you have
approved.
3. No benchmark within 75'of system (310 CMR 15.220(q)).
An appropriate benchmark has been added to the plan.
4. Missing map and Parcel(N.A. 8.02a).
The Assessors Map and Parcel numbers have been added to the title block.
S. All pipe to be Sch 40 (N.A. 14.04).
The system profile and construction details indicate the required Schedule 40 PVC pipe.
6 Alarm for pump shall be on separate circuit.Manual operating switch required.
i
The new plan includes a different house footprint that has been specified at a higher
elevation. This higher elevation enables the construction of the septic system without any
pumping.
7. If tanks in GW, buoyancy calculations must be done.
The new design includes the raising of the septic tank to an elevation above the
groundwater level.
8. Please provide calculations for emergency storage.
This comment is not applicable since the pump has been eliminated.
I trust that the new design plan, along with my responses to your reasons for
disapproval,'fully address all of the your comments. Please contact me if you have any
questions regarding this matter.
Very, ly yours,
If
