These are the last Saracusa Way plans!! The soil log should be included with both review letters. Lot 4 has a lot of errors. It seems like someone else was designing/drafting this plan. I also put in red a comment about the retaining wall depending on local requirements. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Isaac M. Rowe, R.S. Project Manager Mill River Consulting 6 Sargent Street 1 %/ ,,,•. ........ North Andover Health Department Community Development Division June 12, 2013 Philip Christiansen, P.E. Christiansen and Sergi, Inc. 160 Summer Street Haverhill, MA 01830 Re: Subsurface Sewage Disposal System Plan for Lot 16-4 Saracusa Way (Map 61, Lot 16-4) Dear Mr. Christiansen, The proposed wastewater system design plan for the above site dated May 10, 2013 and received on May 20, 2013 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. Please reference the Lake Cochichewick watershed in the notes on sheet 2 (NA 3.2). 2. Please demonstrate that a conventional system in compliance with 310 CMR 15.000 can be built on the site in order to use the Infiltrator Chamber system according to Section 1(3) of the DEP General. Use approval letter. An outline and brief description of a conventional system on the site plan is sufficient. 3. Please depict the percolation tests on the site plan (3 10 CMR 15.220(4)(1)). 4. The distribution box is proposed to be greater than 9 inches below grade. Please show a riser in the profile view and add a note to the plan to indicate that a riser to within 6 inches of finish grade is required above the distribution box if greater than 9 inches below grade. 5. The distribution box has greater than a 2"drop from inlet to outlet. Please modify accordingly. 6. Please indicate the model/brands of the septic tank and distribution box (NA 3.2). 7. TP-28 and TP-29 are missing the observed water elevation. A copy of the Board of Health representative's field notes are enclosed for reference. 8. The distribution box outlet is the same elevation as the inlet for Trench#1. It appears the distance from the distribution box outlet and inlet of Trench#1 is approximately 4'.

Please indicate if easements are proposed on the property and if so indicate the holder of the easements (3 10 CMR 15.220(4)(c)). 10. The full legal boundaries of the lot and the dimensions are not shown (3 10 CMR 15.220(4)(a) and NA 3.2) 1.1. The water service is not shown on the plan, only the shut off is depicted (3 10 CMR 15.220(4)(m)) 12. The foundation drain is not shown on the plan (NA 3.2). 13. The proposed leaching facility is within 20' to the cellar wall (3 10 CMR 15.21.1). 14. In the profile view, please show the location of the proposed driveway. 15. In the profile view, the limit of removal does not accurately depict the depth of the top and subsoil. 16. There appears to be a deek/porch between the house and septic tank. If so, it does not meet the 5' setback (NA 3.2). 17. The loading rate used in the design plan is 0.18 gpd/sf but the table in Title indicates the loading rate should be either 0,15 gpd/sf for gravity distribution or 0.20 gpd/sf for pressure distribution. Please modify the system design accordingly (3 10 CMR 15.242). 18. The inlet elevations for Trenches#24 were not provided. 19. Trench#2 should use the highest contour to determine the inverts. It appears the highest existing contour is 83.8'+/-• 20. Please indicate the maximum height of the proposed retaining wall. Based on the cross section view, the retaining wall will be greater than 4 feet in height and may require a structural engineer to stamp the design depending on local building codes. If the retaining wall is not proposed to be more than 4 feet in height then a note should be added to the plan to clearly indicate this for the installer. 21. The bottom of the impervious barrier elevation is not indicated. Please confirm the bottom elevation is above the ESHWT in all locations. 22. In the impervious barrier & retain wall detail, the top of chamber/breakout elevation (84.24) does not match the elevation calculated in the cross section view (84.16). Although not a reason for disapproval, it is recommended that the effluent line under the driveway be sleeved for additional protection against vehicular traffic. 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. 4 Sincerey, Susn Y.

To facilitate the review of this information we have reproduced your comments, and our responses follow each comment in blue italics. Please reference the Lake Cochichewick watershed in the notes on sheet 2 (NA 3.2). (� (Note 15 on Sheet 2 has been revised accordingly.) Please demonstrate that a conventional system in compliance with 310 CM 15.000 can be built on the site in order to use the Infiltrator Chamber system according to Section 1(3) of the DEP General Use approval letter. An outline and brief description of a conventional system on the site plan is sufficient. (The system has been redesigned as conventional leaching trench system, so the proof plan requirement is no longer applicable,) Please depict the percolation tests on the site plan (310 CMR 15.220(4)(i)). (The Perc Test locations have been added to the Site Plan on Sheet 1.) 4. The distribution box is proposed to be greater than 9 inches below grade. Please show a riser in the profile view and add a note to the plan to indicate that a riser to within 6 inches of finish grade is required above the distribution box if greater than 9 inches below grade. (The proposed grading and profile view have been revised to indicate 9"of cover over the distribution box. Note 5 has been added to the Distribution Box Detail on Sheet 2 to include the requirement for a riser if the cover is greater than 9".) 5. The distribution box has greater than a 2"drop from inlet to outlet. Please modify accordingly. (The revised plan indicates the required 2"drop.) 6, Please indicate the model/brands of the septic tank and distribution box(NA 3.2), (The manufacturer and model numbers of the septic tank and distribution box have been added to the details on Sheet 2.) / 7. TP-28 and TP-29 are missing the observed water elevation. A copy of the Board of �./ Health's representative's field notes are enclosed for reference, (The soil logs for TP's 28 and 29 have been revised to include the depths to observed water.) 8. The distribution box outlet is the same elevation as the inlet for Trench 1. It appears the distance from the distribution box and inlet of Trench#1 is approximately 4'. (The June 28,2013 revised plan indicates an appropriate drop of 0.07'between the distribution box and Trench#1.) 9 Please indicate if easements are proposed on the property and if so indicate the holder of the easements (310 CMR 15.220(4)(c)). (The drainage easement on the northern end of the lot has been labeled on the revised plan. General Note 16 has been added to Sheet 2 to indicate the holder of the easement.) /10. The full legal boundaries of the lot and the dimensions are not shown (310 CMR 15.211). (The revised plan indicates the boundaries of the entire lot, with dimensions.) 11. The water service is not shown on the plan, only the shut off is depicted (310 CMR 15.220(4)(m)). (The revised plan indicates the entire proposed water service.) 12. The foundation drain is not shown on the plan (NA 3.2). (The location of the proposed foundation drain (at the SE comer of the house)has been added to the revised plan.) 13. The proposed leaching facility is within 20'to the cellar wall (310 CMR 15.211). (The house has been reduced in size on the revised plan, and the minimum distance between the leaching facility and the cellar wall is now 22'.) 14. In the profile view, please show the location of the proposed driveway. (The revised ✓f system profile includes the location of the proposed driveway.) 15. In the profile view, the limit of removal does not accurately depict the depth of the top and subsoil. (The revised system profile includes the proper indication of the depth of soil removal.) 16. There appears to be a deck/porch between the house and septic tank. If so, it does �. not meet the 5' setback(NA 3.2). (The location of the septic tank has been adjusted so that it is now 6'from the proposed porch. The porch has been labeled.) 17. The loading rate used in the design is 0.18 gpd/sf but the table in Title 5 indicates the loading rate should be either 0.15 gpd/sf for gravity distribution of or 0.20 gpd/sf for pressure distribution. Please modify the design accordingly(310 CMR 15.245). (The 0.18 gpd/sf loading rate for the 54 minhin perc rate in the original design was based on a straight interpolation between the Title 5 loading rates for 50 and 60 minhn. The revised design is based on the 0.15 gpd/sf loading rate.) / 18. The inlet elevations for Trenches#2—4 were not provided. (The revised design •/ includes the inlet elevations for all of the leaching trenches in the "System Elevations" table on Sheet 1.) 19. Trench#2 should use the highest contour to determine the inverts. It appears that the highest existing contour is 83.8'+/-. (The revised design includes a "Trench Elevation Worksheet'on Sheet 1 that lists the high existing grade elevation for each trench that was used along with the depth to ESHWT to derive the bottom elevations of the trenches.) 20. Please indicate the maximum height of the proposed retaining wall. Based on the cross section view, the retaining wall will be greater than 4 feet in height and may require a structural engineer to stamp the design depending on local building codes. If the retaining wall is not proposed to be more than 4 feet in height then a note should be added to the plan to clearly indicate this for the installer. (The wall has been designed such that it will be no more than 4'high. The cross-section has been revised to include proposed grading on the downgradient side of the wall to indicate that the exposed portion of the wall be less than 4 feet high. A note has been added to the `Impervious Barrier&Retaining Wall Detail"on Sheet 1 stating that the maximum height of the wall will be 48". A "Wall Elevations"table has been added to Sheet 1 to list the elevations of the three sections of the stepped wall.) • Page 2 June 28,2013 21. The bottom of the impervious barrier is not indicated. Please confirm the bottom elevation is above the ESHWT in all locations. (The revised design includes a note on the Impervious Barrier and Retaining Wall Detail on Sheet 1 that states that the bottom of the impervious barrier is to be set 12"below the existing grade elevation, which will result in the barrier being 10"above the ESHWT. Likewise, a label has been added to the Cross-Section on Sheet 1 that states that the bottom of the impervious barrier is to be set 12"below existing grade.) �2. In the Impervious Barrier and Retaining Wall Detail,the top of chamber/breakout elevation (84.24) does not match the elevation calculated in the cross section view (84.16). (The plans have been revised such that the top of wall/barrierelevation indicated on the Impervious Barrier and Retaining Wall Detail matches the elevation included on the cross-section.) Although not a reason for disapproval, it is recommended that the effluent line under / the driveway be sleeved for additional protection against vehicular traffic. (As is t/ indicated on the system profile, the minimum depth of cover over the pipe as it crosses under the driveway is 30". This depth will provide ample protection for the 4" SCH 40 pipe.) I trust that this response and the revisions made to the plan fully address all of your comments. Please contact me if you have any questions. Very truly yours, Christiansen & Sergi, Inc. 1 Philip G.

Re: Subsurface Sewage Disposal System Plan for Lot 16-4 Saracusa Way (Map 61, Lj Lot 16-4) 1 Dear Property Owner, The North Andover Board of Health has completed the review of the septic system design plans, for the above referenced property, submitted on your behalf by the Christiansen & Sergi, Inc. dated May 10, 2013, received on May 20, 2013 and revised June 28, 2013. The design has been approved for use in the construction of a 4- bedroom, on-site septic system. This plan is good for 3-years from the date of approval. 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. In the event an imminent health problem such as sewage backup into the dwelling is occurring,the North Andover Board of Health may reduce the time period for which this plan is valid. 1. Prior to the issuance of the Disposal Works Installers Permit, the applicant must submit a foundation as-built at the same scale as the approved plan. 2. Prior to the issuance of the Disposal Works Installer's Permit,the applicant must submit the floor plans of the home showing no greater than four bedrooms or a total of nine rooms. 3. If site conditions are found in the field to be different from those indicated on the design plan and/or soil evaluation, the originally issued Disposal System Construction Permit is void, installation shall stop, and the applicant shall reapply for a new Disposal Systems Construction Permit(3 10 CMR 15.020(1)).

It is the responsibility of the applicant and/or the applicant's septic system designer, septic system installer or other representative to ensure that all other state and municipal requirements are met. These may include review by the Conservation Commission, Zoning Board, Planning Board, Building Inspector, Plumbing Inspector and/or Electrical Inspector. The issuance of a Disposal System Construction Permit shall not construe and/or imply compliance with any of the aforementioned requirements.

The design has been approved for use in the construction of a' - be -oom (maximum-room), on-site septic system. This plan is good for 3-years from the date of approval. 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, In the event an imminent health problem such as sewage backup into the dwelling is occurring, the North Andover Board of Health may reduce the time period for which this plan is v lid':" Prior to or during the Bottom of Bed inspection a test pit must be conducted to confirm the soils. If soils are not confirmed to satisfaction of the Health Department, the designer shall change the plan as needed. Prior to the issuance of the Disposal Works Installers Permit, the applicant must submit a foundation as-built at the same scale as the approved plan. 3. Prior to the issuance of the Disposal Works Installer's Permit, the applicant must submit the floor plans of the home showing no greater than four bedrooms or a total of nine rooms. 4. If site conditions are found in the field to be different from those indicated on the design plan and/or soil evaluation, the originally issued Disposal System Construction Page 1 of 2 North Andover Health Departinent, � Street, Suite 1 C>G)0 Osgood `�tr�.et, �rrrte 2035, North Andover, MA 01.845 Phone: 978.688.9540 Fax: 978.688.8476 Lot 16-4 Saracusa Way F'ebruary 21, 2014 Permit is void, installation shall stop, and the applicant shall reapply for a new Disposal Systems Construction Permit (3 10 CMR 15.020(1)). 5.

However, having reviewed the plan for the Harbor Rose I determined that I needed to place a caveat on that approval. It is a similar problem that we discussed last October.This is a 3- bedroom design; which the State allows an 8 room hone. I believe I am being fair in calling this a 9-room as it was presented to me. [lad the Dining room been a bit lamer, it could be possibly even be a 10-room. But that being said, I am r' -ttyat prior to getting the septic system disposal works permit, one of the following happen. T e wall is removed from the back section; making 2 rooms into 1 (family room and study) r 2) A deed restriction be proposed to be granted to the BON as we previously had spoken about(link below) Going forward, we do have quite a few more lots to build.You may want to submit the floor plans ahead of tirne; so that we can address the room number vs. the system capacity before a building permit is needed. I believe that will help things move so much smoother. Thank Susan This is a sample deed restriction. You are not obligated to use this form, but I before altering, I would seek legal counsel. htff.,//www.to sfield-rna.gov/documents health docurents Title`✓Bedroo Count Deed Restriction.pdf Let me know what you prefer. I will make a note for the file that either changed floor plans will be submitted or a deed restriction. We only need them before you want to install the system;so there is no rush.

We did the required additional test pit for the Lot 16-4 system this afternoon during the bottom of bed inspection. The test pit was dug along the edge of the excavated hole in the over-dig area above Enviro-Septic Line 1 . We established the elevations with the laser that was set up for the system. The ESHWT was determined to be at elevation 82.7 feet. On the approved design the ESHWT at this location was assumed to be at elevation 83.0 feet (see Cross Section A-A), so the test pit confirms that the required separation to groundwater is provided. The soil evaluator forms are attached. Let me know if you have any questions. Best regards„ Daniel J. O'Connell, P.E. H " I TI I, INC.

The North Andover Health Department has overseen the design approvals and installation of the septic system on your property and believes that it is important that you understand the details of the system that services your home. Enclosed is information on how to care for your septic system and notification of restrictions in case you intend on finishing additional spaces, which are currently designated as "unfinished space", in your home. The house plans that were submitted prior to construction of your home show multiple unfinished areas, but this system can only serve a 3-bedroom home (maximum 8-room). A home with this sized system,which as defined by the MA Department of Protection regulations 310 CMR 15.000, will have a maximum of a 8 rooms in total (not including bathrooms; laundry rooms etc). According to our file, your home is currently at seven (7)rooms; therefore only one (1) additional room could be finished for use. This assumes you did not finish more than the plans originally identified. If you have gone over the approved number, a violation to MA DEP code may already exist. The multiple unfinished areas in your home are allowed by state code and are not counted until finished. The inclusion of this amount of square footage, as unfinished space, was discussed with your builder. The Green Co. chose to inform homeowners upon purchase, that if you plan on finishing any of the areas for living space, above the 8-rooms,the expansion of the septic system and the compliance with the code will be done by the new homeowner. No building permits, to finish additional rooms,will be supported unless compliance is achieved.

As the homeowner, we want you to be fully informed on how disposal systems work. The document provided will help you care for your system. You can also access numerous guides to assist you on the MA DEP website, http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/massdep//that will help you maintain your system in good working order, so it will protect you and the environment for many years to come. Finally, it is important to note that this septic system is not designed for use with a garbage grinder. Installation of a garbage grinder will cause damage to your septic system and will void any guarantees for its proper service by the septic installer from the date you install the grinder. We hope you are enjoying your new home in North Andover. The Health Department staff members are here to answer your questions on septic systems or any other Public Health related subject.

DON'T use commercial septic tank additives.These products usually do not help and some may hurt your system in the long run. DON'T use your toilet as a trash can by dumping nondegradables down your toilet or drains.Also,don't poison your septic system and the groundwater by pouring harmful chemicals down the drain.They can kill the beneficial bacteria that treat your wastewater.Keep the following materials out of your system: NONDEGRADABLE& grease,disposable diapers,plastics,etc. POISONS: gasoline,oil,paint,paint thinner,pesticides,antifreeze,etc. Septic System Explained Septic systems are individual wastewater treatment systems(conventional septic systems,innovative/alternative(I/A) systems,or cesspools)that use the soil to treat small wastewater flows,usually from individual homes.They are typically used in rural or large lot settings where centralized wastewater treatment is impractical. There are many types of septic systems in use today.While all systems are individually designed for each site,most systems are based on the same principles. A Conventional Septic System A conventional septic system consists of a septic tank,a distribution box and a drainfield,all connected by pipes,called conveyance lines. Your septic system treats your household wastewater by temporarily holding it in the septic tank where heavy solids and lighter scum are allowed to separate from the wastewater.This separation process is known as primary treatment.The solids stored in the tank are decomposed by bacteria and later removed,along with the lighter scum,by a professional septic tank pumper. After partially treated wastewater leaves the tank,it flows into a distribution box,which separates this flow evenly into a network of drainfield trenches.Drainage holes at the bottom of each line allow the wastewater to drain into gravel trenches for temporary storage.This effluent then slowly seeps into the subsurface soil where it is further treated and purified (secondary treatment).A properly functioning septic system does not pollute the groundwater.
