The soil evaluator must be a member or agent of the local approving authority.

Explanation Explain why full compliance, as defined in 310 CMR 15.404(1), is not feasible. (Each section must be completed) 1. An upgraded system in full compliance with 310 CMR 15.000 is not feasible: The existing building sewer pipe exits dwelling at elevation which puts the septic tank inverts at the ESHGW elevation, with a minimum slope between the dwelling and proposed septic tank. The reduction to ESHGW at the leach field is to minimize the mound required by the ESHGW. 2. An alternative system approved pursuant to 310 CMR 15.283 to 15.288 is not feasible: An alternative is not desired by client, and would not have an impact on the septic tank invert elevations The owner would choose other options over installing an alternative technology. t5form9a•rev.7/06 Application for Local Upgrade Approval* Page 3 of 4 Commonwealth of Massachusetts City/Town of North Andover Form 9A - Application for Local Upgrade Approval DEP has provided this form for use by local Boards of Health.
