RE: Soil testing on Lot 3 Long Pasture Road
Dear Sandra,
Section 7.05 of the"Town of North Andover Minimum Requirements for the
Subsurface Disposal of Sanitary Sewage"states"The results of the Deep Observation
Holes shall expire two years from the date conducted unless the Board of Health or its
agent determines that the existing soil logs are sufficiently comprehensive so as to not
require additional testing, and the site had not been altered. Retesting of expired results
shalt require a new testing pursuant to the current fee schedule."
The Town has design plans prepared by Christiansen and Sergi of a proposed septic
system for Lot 3 Long Pasture Road. These plans rely on a soil evaluation performed
using the standards of the current Title 5, but were performed more than two years ago.
I find that the soil logs are sufficiently comprehensive so as not to require additional
testing, however the site may have been altered. On June 22, 2000 I met at the site with
Gene Willis, soil evaluator for Christiansen and Sergi. He had prepared deep tests(and
I observed as agent of the Board of Health)in the area of the proposed leaching bed to
determine whether the site had been altered. As outlined below,I find that the receiving
layer for the proposed leaching bed(the C horizon shown on the design plans)has not
been altered, and therefore that the existing soil logs shown on the design plans are
adequate for the design even&ough they are more than two years old.
Christiansen and Sergi staked the proposed trench leaching bed on the ground with
beanpoles. As shown on the enclosed field notes,we found that half of the proposed
leaching field area has not been altered, and has 6 inch to 15 inch trees over and in the
immediate vicinity. We did dig Test Pit 3A to evaluate the area that had been disturbed.
We found that there was an existing A horizon, an undisturbed existing B horizon, and
an undisturbed existing C horizon. The A and B horizons still had undisturbed root
M
owth. y professional opinion is that the disturbance over half of the receiving layer
consisted only of grubbing and stumping the land. There was still a thin layer of A
IORT hori 8r zon left, which would be consistent with grubbing and stumping.

In conclusion,I find that the receiving layer for the proposed leaching bed(the C
horizon shown on the design plans)has not been altered,and therefore that the existing
soil logs shown on the design plans are adequate for the design even though they are
more than two years old.
