RE: Subsurface Sewage Disposal System Plan for 114 Marian Drive Map 107C Lot 54,North Andover,
Massachusetts
Dear Mr.Honeycutt,
The North Andover Board of Health has completed the r I eview of the septic system design plans,for the above
referenced property,submitted on your behalf by Engineering and Surveying Services dated October 25,2003 (Last
Rev. June 1,2004).
The design has been approved for use in the construction of a replacement onsite septic system.This approval is
valid for three years from the date of this letter and during this time a licensed septic system installer must obtain a
permit and complete this work,and a Certificate of Compliance must be endorsed by the installer,designer and the
Town of North Andover. The time period for which this plan is valid is reduced to two years from the date of a
septic system inspection which did not meet the acceptable criteria in the state regulations.in the event an
imminent health problem such as sewage backup into the dwelling is occurring,the time period for which this plan
is valid may be reduced by the North Andover Board of Health.
The application for a Local Upgrade was approved as requested,for a reduction in the separation between the soil
absorption system and the high groundwater fi-om the required four feet to three feet.With the granting of this
reduction,the maximum number of bedrooms of this dwelling has been limited to three bedrooms.This restriction
shall remain on the property until such time that the dwelling is connected to a municipal sanitary sewer system
and the soil absorption system is property abandoned.
This approval is subject to the following conditions: appropriate Regional office of the Department
The attached DEP Form 9b must be submitted to the app
of Environmental Protection at One Winter Street,Boston MA by the property owner.
2. 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(3 10 CMR
15.020(1)).
3. 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 and/or imply compliance with any of the
aforementioned requirements. submit proof of certification to the BOH
4. As this system uses an infiltrator system,the installer must
prior to the issuance of a disposal works permit,
Your effort to provide a properly functioning septic system for your dwelling is greatly appreciated. The Health
Department may be reached at 978-688-9540 with any questions you might have.

Greg,
Your plan for the property listed above has been reviewed and unfortunately, a
couple of items need addressing before it can be approved. If you disagree with
any of these comments please feel free to contact me.
1) Regarding the pump—please indicate on the plan that the pump and alarm
must be on separate circuits
2)There need to be buoyancy calculations for each of the tanks
3)Although you did submit the form 9A for the LUA, it is not signed by the owner
of the property. Please let the owner know that they must sign the form prior to
issuance of an installation permit is issued
4) Please note on the plan that the installer must be certified by the manufacturer
of the infiltrator system and show proof of the certification to the BOH.
5)The comment#17 in the Notes should be removed.,due to the revisions
6) Please identify who is responsible for making sur thatall other applicable
permits such as; plumbing and electrical are obtained.
Thanks,
Susan
