15303 or in 310 CMR 15304 exist.Any failure criteria not eva3 ated are indicated below.
cnbed in 310 CMR
Comments:
13. System Conditionally Passes:
_ One or more system components as described in the"Conditional Pass"section need to be replaced or
repaired. The system,upon completion of the replacement or repair, as approved by the Board of Health, will pass.
Answer yes, no or not determined(Y,N,ND)in the for the following statements.If"not determined"please
explain.
_ The septic tank is metal and over 20 years old* or the septic tank(whether metal or not)is structurally
unsound, exhibits substantial infiltration or exfiltration or tank failure is imminent. System will pass inspection if the
existm,;tank is replaced with a complying septic tank as approved by the Board of Health.
*A metal septic tank will pass inspection if it is structurally sound,not leaking and if a Certificate of Compliance
indicating that the tank is less than 20 years old is available.
1�1) explain:
_____ Observation of sewage backup or break out or high static water level in the distribution box due to broken or
obstructed pipe(s)or due to a broken,settled or uneven distribution box. System will pass inspection if(with
approval of Board of Health):
broken pipe(s)are replaced
obstruction is removed
distribution box is leveled or replaced

Date of Inspection:_6/13/05
C. Further Evaluation is Required by the Board of Health:
Conditions exist which require further evaluation by the Board of Health in order to determine if the system
is failing to protect public health, safety or the environment.
1. System will pass unless Board of Health detoimines in accordance with 310 CMR 15.303(1)(b) that the
system is not functioning in a manner-Mich will protect public health,safety and the environment:
— Cesspool or privy is within Sp feet of a surface water
Cesspool or privy4vrthm 50 feet of a bordering vegetated wetland or a salt marsh
i
r
2. System will fail unless the Board of Health (and Public Water Supplier, if any) determines that the
system is functioning in a manner that protects the public health,safety and environment:
_ The system has a septic tank and soil absorption system(SAS)and the SAS is within 100 feet of a
surface water supply or tributary to a surface water supply.
The system has a septic tank and SAS and the SAS-is within a Zone 1 of a public water supply.
The system has a septic tank and SAS`and the SAS is within 50 feet of a private water supply well.
_ The system has a septic tdii and SAS and the SAS is less than 100 feet but 50 feet or more from a
private water supply well'*.Method used to determine distance
"This system passes if the well water analysis,performed at a DEP certified laboratory, for coliform
bacteria and volatile organic compounds indicates that the well is free from pollution from that facility and
the presence of ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen is equal to or less than 5 ppm, provided that no other
failure criteria are triggered.A copy of the analysis must be attached to this form.

Date of inspection: 611 -3/()5
D. System Failure Criteria applicable to all systems:
You must indicate"yes" or"no"to each of the following for all inspections:
Yes No
ackup of sewage into facility or system component due to overloaded or clogged SAS or cesspool
Discharge or
pond' of effluent to the surface of the ground or surface waters due to an overloade
��clogged SAS or cesspool d or
Static liquid level in the distribution box above outlet invert due to an overloaded or clogged SAS or
cesspool
_ r squid depth in cesspool is less than 6"below invert or available volume is less than V;!day flow
Required pumping more than 4 times in the last year NOT due to clogged or obstructed pipe(s).Number
Hof times pumped
.Any portion of the SAS, cesspool or priory is below high ground water elevation.
Any portion of cesspool or privy is within 100 feet of a surface water supply or tributary to a surface
water supply.
-,-Arty portion of a cesspool or privy is within a Zone 1 of a public well.
� ny portion of a cesspool or privy is within 50 feet of a private water supply well_
�! Any portion of a cesspool or privy is less than 100 feet but greater than 50 feet from a private water
supply well with no acceptable water quality analysis. (This system passes if the well water analysis,
performed at a DEP certified laboratory,for coliform bacteria and volatile organic compounds
indicates that the well is free from pollution from that facility and the presence of ammonia
nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen is equal to or less than 5 ppm, provided that no other failure criteria
are triggered.A copy of the analysis must be attached to this form.)
/a(Yes/No)The system fails. I have determined.that one or more of the above failure criteria exist as
described in 310 CMR 15.303,therefore the system fails. The system owner should contact the Board of
Health to determine what will be necessary to correct the failure.
B. Large Systems:
To be considered a large system the system must serve a facility with a design flow of 10,000 gpd to 15,000
gpd.
You must indicate either"yes"or"no"to each of the following:
(The following criteria apply to large systems in addition to the criteria above)
ves uo
the system is wit • 400 feet of a surface drinking water supply
the systg rs within?00 feet of a tributary to a surface drinking water supply
_ the system is located in a nitrogen sensitive area(Interim Wellhead Protection Area—IWPA) or a mapped
Zone II of a public water supply well
if you have answered"yes"to any question in Section E the system is considered a significant threat, or answered
I Yes" in Section D above the large system has failed. The owner or operator of any large system considered a
Significant threat under Section E or failed under Section D shall upgradee the system in accordance with 310 CMR
15.304. The system owner should contact the appropriate regional off-ice of the Department.

Check if the following have been done. You must indicate`yes"or"no" as to each of the following:
Pumping information was provided by the owner, occupant, or Board of Health
/_ Were any of the system components pumped out in the previous two weeks ?
Has the system received normal flows in the previous two week period?
Have large volumes of water been introduced to the system recently or as part of this inspection '?
Were as built plans of the system obtained and examined? (If they were not available note as N/A)
Was the facility or dwelling inspected for signs of sewage back up
_ _. Was the site inspected for signs of break out?
Were all system components, excluding the SAS,located on site
Were the septic tank manholes uncovered, opened, and the interior of the tank inspected for the condition
of the.baffles or tees,material of construction, dimensions, depth of liquid, depth of sludge and depth of scum ?
/ Was the facility owner(and occupants if different from owner)provided with information on the proper
maintenance of subsurface sewage disposal systems?
The size and location of the Soil Absorption System (SAS)on the site has been determined based on:
Yes
.Existing information.For example, a plan at the Board of Health.
Determined in the field(if any of the failure criteria related to Part C is at issue approximation of distance
is unacceptable) [310 CMR 15,302(3)(b)] pp
