Re: Subsurface Sewage Disposal System Plan for Lot 16-5 Saracusa Way
(Map 61, Lot 16-5)
Dear Mr. Christiansen,
The proposed wastewater system design plan for the above site dated April 17, 2013 and
received on May 3, 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. The plans were not stamped by the designer (310 CMR 15.220(2)).
3. 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
I(3) of the DEP General Use approval letter. An outline and brief description of a
conventional system on the site plan is sufficient.
4. Please depict the percolation tests on the site plan (3 10 CMR 15.220(4)(i)).
5. Please 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.
6. Please indicate the model/brands of the septic tank and distribution box (NA 3.2).
7. Trench#1 is less than 10' to the proposed deck (NA 3.9).
8. The bottom of the septic tank appears to be within the groundwater table by using the
ESHWT from TP-31. Please provide buoyancy calculations (3 10 CMR 15.221(8)).

water at 20". Also in TP-31 the Bw layer extended to 28". A copy of the Board of Health
representative's field notes are enclosed for reference,

RE: Re: Subsurface Sewage Disposal System Plan for Lot 16-5 Saracusa Way Salem
(Map 61,Lot 16-5)
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 April 22, 2013,received on May 3, 2013 and revised June 13, 2013. The design has been
approved for use in the new 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.
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)).

4. 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.
Your effort to provide a properly functioning septic system for your dwelling is greatly
appreciated. The Health Department may be reached at 978-688-9540 with any questions you
might have.

Re: Your new home and your 4- bedroom septic system
Dear Resident,
Congratulations on your move to North Andover and on your new home. 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 4-bedroom home (maximum 8-roam). 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 9 rooms in total (not including bathrooms; laundry rooms
etc). According to our file, your home is currently at eight (8) 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.

If at any time you do plan to inhabit any of these multiple unfinished areas,please contact our
office and we will be happy to discuss the options with you.
As the homeowner, we want you to be fully informed on how disposal systems worm:. The
document provided will help you care for your system. You can also access numerous guides to
assist you on the MA DEP website, l tµcp:B/www. � ass g�avdeea/gag is 1 n ssde;p 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. Feel free to contact us.
