This property was given leeway due to special circumstances.They were allowed to have 2 building sewers due to complicated interior issues. Cutting another corner is not optional. I hand wrote it on their plans to emphasize it. We could have made them tie it in together in the building.That would have been worse.

The design plan proposed 1 bend with 1 cleanout. The engineer and installer felt there was enough pitch in the pipe to justify no cleanouts plus there is a cleanout in the basement. I told the installer not to backfill around bends until he gets the OK from you. I told the installer the plan required one and I would pass along my report to you. You may want to speak with Luke Roy the engineer to discuss? Other than the building sewer pipe the install was very well done. They did add a 2"x4" coupling with a 6' length of 4" SCH 40 pipe prior to the d-box to reduce the velocity of the effluent. This allows the effluent to enter d-box smoothly and allows even distribution to the laterals. I would recommend that we begin requiring this for all pump to d-box systems. As designers this is what we do for our projects and it works well. When there is just a 2"tee the effluent still tends to be very turbulent in the d-box and usually seeps out the cover of the d-box. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Isaac Isaac M. Rowe,R.S.

Couldn't do one big hole for both due to ledge. May have to swing pump chamber 90 degrees; engineer and I gave ok and to just show on the as-built. So,tank insp. choices are 1) See bottom of hole for septic tank before noon today 2) Wait and see bottom of pump chamber hole another day and he will try to leave one side of septic tank hole open if possible. I don't think it is necessary for us to go out two times,so which ever works. FYI,The engineer will likely be called for the field inspection on Monday. He should then call us like usual. The installer is Joe Caruso 781983-6598. 1 told him to keep going and we'll be there one time or another. S Michele, if you can't fit this in the schedule, let me know I will be happy to help out.

As you already know from Jennifer, there are wetlands behind the house. The test pits were all approximately 100' from the wetland boundary. The bottom of Perc 2 had damp soil so we attempted the perc test but it was influenced by the groundwater. Most likely Luke will not be using this area for the upgrade.

A handful of comments but mostly minor changes. Overall plan/design looked good. Maybe we will have more from this company in the future. A couple of things, I was not positive on: 1,- Does NA BOH require 900 SF leach bed minimum for upgrades? If not, then the designer should revise his SAS size. 2. Mercury float switches in the pump chamber are proposed. it is my understanding that mercury floats are no longer allowed for use in MA but I did not know what agency or department to cite this requirement from. Do you know? 0101 Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Isaac Isaac M.Rowe,R.S. Project Manager Mill River Consulting 2 Blackburn Center 0
