I had also had a good conversation with the son of the deceased 2 weeks ago and told him they should focus on selling with an approved plan, as the end of the season is near. So as not to push everyone. We will not Push for a review just to get an installation permit pulled by the Nov. 1.5"' deadline. if they have to come to the Nov, 17t" meeting for out of season installation, so be it. Or even December. `T'hx S From: DelleChiaie, Pamela Sent: Monday, October 24, 2011 11:29 AM To: 'Marianne Peters' Cc: Sawyer, Susan Subject: RE: Soil Testing for 940 Johnson scheduled for Mon/Nov 7th @ 9:30 Thank you!!!

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 where applicable. 1, A Local Upgrade Approval for only having one test pit in the soil absorption system area must be requested. Please submit the Form 9A Local Upgrade Approval request or revise the design plan(3 10 CMR 15,405(1)(k)). 2. A local variance will be required to be requested to have the tank(s) less than 75' to the wetland resource area NA Table 1. Please submit request to be on the next BOH meeting. List all variance and LUA's requested. 3. Please note all LUA and local variance requests on plan NA 3.2 4. The notation in the "Deep Test Results" calls for the C material in T-1 to be GR. SL. The soil logs call for a GR. LS. Please clarify 5. Please illustrate the distance from the pool to the tank (10'min. or LUA) 6. Please provide a pump curve 15.220(4)(r) Page 1 of 2 North Andover health Department, 1600 ()sgood Street, Building 20, Suite 2-36, North Andover, MA 01845 phone: 978.688,9540 'ax: 978.688.8476 7. The soil log and "Deep Test Results" call for the ground elevation of T-1 to be 98.8, but there appears to be a spot grade of 99x9 right next to the test pit on the site plan. Also, scaling between the contours it appears the 99.9 is more accurate of a grade than 98.8. Please re-evaluate design parameters. 8. In the "Design Calculations"the perc rate is referenced to be, "3 M.P.I. *SEE SIEVE ANALYSIS BY TERRA FILTER". The sieve analysis reference appears to be have been inadvertently copied from another plan, Please clarify. Please note the reviewer has observed a repeated problem in the field, and has the following recommendation, though not required by the code. Depict a gas baffle 15,227(4); while Title 5 says for an effluent filter or gas baffle, the preference is for both, for the reason that if the effluent filter is removed and not reinstalled, the gas baffle feature is also lost. This is not a deficiency only an observation. 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.

We revised the plan with regards to item 41 through 6 and #8. With regard to item#7, the reviewer is incorrect. T-1 was performed on the side of the lot which had steep slopes and undulating topography with several small knolls and hills. The test pit was performed in a saddle at the base of a knoll. Please note that equally as close to T-1 is a spot elevation of 98.4. Why would the reviewer not assume that the test pit was closer in elevation to that spot grade? The fact is that the slope is not consistent between the two contour lines and so it is incorrect to interpolate grades between the two contours. The grade in reality drops quickly then flattens before T-1 so the elevation of T-1 is closer in value to spot elevation 98.4 than it is to elevation 99.9 as suggested by the reviewer. Additionally we checked our survey notes and confirmed the elevation. Please note that we revised the plan such that a local variance is no longer required for the setback distance to a wetland for the pump tank or the septic tank. We did however request an additional LUA for the distance from the septic tank to the foundation from 10 ft. to 7 ft. All LUA requests are noted on the revised plan. We feel we have adequately addressed your concerns and respectfully request that the plans be approved as re-submitted. Yours truly, .v William Dufresne Merrimack Engineering services.
