DOCUMENTATION IN SUPPORT OF REQUEST
FOR VARIANCE APPLICATION
94 GRANVILLE LANE, NORTH ANDOVER
The proposed septic system designed for 94 Granville Lane,North Andover has been
designed based upon the requirements for designing a Wisconsin Mound type system. In
a Wisconsin Mound the leach field is raised above the ground surface using septic sand.
The leach field is designed with a loading rate for the sand that has been placed
underneath the leach field. The presumption is the sand will absorb the effluent and
disperse the effluent in a horizontal direction as well as a vertical direction giving the
effluent a wide"basal" area(area where the sand meets the underlying soil) over which
absorption into the parent material will occur. Usually the top layers of soil remain below
a Wisconsin Mound system to promote treatment.
At 94 Granville Lane the available area for subsurface disposal is small and sloping. A
reinforced concrete retaining wall has been designed to hold the slopes around the
proposed septic system area. Furthermore,the A layer has been specified as being
removed. The B layer will remain in order to provide the required 4 feet of naturally
occurring pervious material. It should be noted that this plan was produced prior to the
DEP policy allowing the use of the B layer as naturally occurring pervious material so the
plan is noted as not having the required 4 feet although it does exist on site.
The disposal and treatment process will include three steps.
Step 1: The effluent will be treated using a Home Fast pretreatment system. This process
will insure that a cleaner effluent will be pumped to the leach field.
Step 2: Disposal of the effluent in to the sand fill using a leach field sized to meet the
loading rate of a sand fill material. Treatment will take place in the biomat that will form
at the interface between the stone and the sand.
Step 3: The effluent will be absorbed in to the parent material over the interface between
the sand and the parent material below. This area which is known as the basil area is
equal to the required area for effluent disposal under title 5 and will be sufficient for
proper absorption of the effluent.
Through this three step disposal process the equivalent environmental protection as
provided by a Title 5 compliant system will be achieved.
