The site is 163,098 S.F. of which only approximately 20,000 S.F. is upland. The existing disposal system is located in the rear of the property in close proximity to the wetlands. This design has been submitted to the Conservation Commission and an Order of Conditions has been issued for the site (copy enclosed). Given the existing conditions we have completed a design which maximizes the horizontal offset from the system to the wetlands and conforms with the provisions of Title 5 and the North Andover Board of health Regulations to the maximum extent feasible with the following exceptions: • Local upgrade approval for distance from S,A.S. to front property line 10' to 5'. • Distance from S.A.S. to wetland N.A. 5.02 100 ft. to 37 ft. • Distance from septic tank and pump tank to wetland N.A. 5.02 75 ft. to 50 ft. and 55 ft respectively. • N.A. 7.05 deep test expiration 2 years. Tests were performed on April 16, 1998. • N.A. 9.01 (1) min leach field 900 sq. ft. where 851 sq, ft. is proposed. • N.A. 9.02 retaining wall required is poured concrete where interlocking concrete blocks with geomembrane is proposed. We respectfully request that the aforementioned variance and local upgrades be granted as strict enforcement of the North Andover Regulations would be manifestly unjust and an equal or greater degree of environmental protection will be achieved by this design given the existing conditions and the fact that the current system is in failure.
