Re: 123 Marian Drive
Dear Ms. Sawyer:
We are in receipt of your review letter dated April 17, 2006 regarding the above
referenced site. The plan has been revised to address item 2— 5 of your letter.
With regards to item#3, the location of one additional test pit is shown on the plan, but
was abandoned due to the inability of the backhoe to remove a large boulder. The hole
was not formally logged in, but is designated on the plan.
With regards to item#6, a filing is forthcoming with the Conservation Commission at
which time all wetland issues will be addressed.
S Lastly,with regards to item#1, we formally request time at your next Board of Health
meeting to discuss the variance request as noted on the plan from North Andover 9.01. `
We appreciate your prompt attention to these matters.
Very truly yours,
MERRIMACK ENGINEERING SERVICES

RE: Septic System Design, 123 Marian Drive, North Andover, Map 107C, Lot 44
Dear Homeowner,
The North Andover Board of Health has completed the review of the septic system design plan
for the above referenced property, submitted on your behalf by Merrimack Engineering Services,
last revision dated May 9, 2006, and received May 15, 2006.
The Board of Health approved a variance to N. Andover's regulation 9.01 on May 25, 2006.
With this variance, the design has been approved for use in the construction of an onsite septic
system. The 4-bedroom(9-room maximum) design has been approved for use in the
construction of a fully compliant, Title V, subsurface disposal system. This approval is valid for
two years from the date of the approval in accordance with current local regulations and during
this time a licensed septic system installer must obtain a permit and complete this work, and a
Certificate of Compliance be endorsed by the installer, designer and the Town of North Andover.
This approval is subject to the following conditions:
1. If site conditions are found in the field to be different from those indicated on the design plan
and/or soil evaluation, the originally issued Disposal System Construction Permit is void,
installation shall stop, and the applicant shall reapply for a new Disposal Systems
Construction Permit.
2. It is the responsibility of the applicant and/or the applicant's septic system designer, septic
system installer or other representative to ensure that all other state and municipal
requirements are met. These may include review by the Conservation Commission, Zoning
Board, Planning Board, Building Inspector, Plumbing Inspector and/or Electrical Inspector.
The issuance of a Disposal System Construction Permit shall not construe or imply
compliance with any of the aforementioned requirement
