I think Jim caused some confusion and I will speak with him. He can not call MR before we hear from the Engineer, and we let you all know to go ahead... it just confuses things. I told Lisa to keep the 8AM appointment for 350 Holt Road, Also, Lisa can schedule Lot 1 Gray. Andy, please note that the sieve analysis for the sand in the lot 1 has not come back. We hear it is coming in the AM. So„ you can check for elevations, but if is comes out bad, Waelty may be pulling it out. Thanks for clearing this all up.

On July 19,2005 you received a letter regarding the Title V septic sand that was being used for the lot listed above.The letter stated that a test conducted by the N. Andover health department failed to meet Title V specifications,On July 20 Miller Engineering of Manchester,NH obtained three samples of sand for testing. Rather than the samples being tested as a single composite test,multiple tests were performed.The results of the three separate tests were: one failing and two passing. When the three tests are averaged,as a composite sample would have been,the average lies just within the acceptable range.For this reason,the Health Department has the ability to determine that this sand may remain in place. Please be advised that Title V sand specifications are set in the best interest for the site. The North Andover Health Department is dedicated to the health of the community. Site evaluations are often subjective in nature as they rely on observation and experience. Clearly,this sand that had been sent from Pitcherville sand pit was of less quality than is usually viewed in this town.Though the Health Department has concluded that this sand will not be removed,we have provided you with valuable information. As was stated in our meeting with your representatives last week,if after reviewing the information,if you choose to remove this sand,please let this office know so that we may inspect the quality of the replacement sand. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.Your effort to provide a properly functioning septic system for your dwelling is greatly appreciated. The Health Department may he reached at 97R.M_94;4A.with an-,n,pfions you might have. Sincerely, asan Y. Sawyer,REHS/RS r > . Public Health Director ✓f ✓'� p cc: Craig Waelty,Waelty Construction - .

The plan has been modified slightly to include 5 bedrooms, rather than the previously approved 4 bedroom designs. This was done to account for the possibility that the homeowner may finish the basement in the future. We have used the high capacity Infiltrators, given that clean stone is difficult to obtain these days. No other significant changes were made to the plans. We trust that these minor changes will constitute insignificant changes that can be reviewed and approved in-house. Please let me know if a review fee will be required, and it will be provided. Should you ave any question concerning this letter, please contact me. Sin ly Jos J. Se tka, P.E.

As stated in the previous approval,the design has been approved for use in the construction of a new 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.Please note the condition#2 below. 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(3 10 CMR 15.020(1)). 2. The plan shows a basement elevation of 184.5,however an elevation of 186 is the final proposed contour line adjacent to the driveway.The final grade to ensure breakout at this point must maintain a 15 feet distance from the leaching system break out point and a 3:1 slope after the 15 feet.A wall may need to be installed at this point.Due to this concern,the health department is requesting that final grade elevations be shown on the As-Built plan to ensure compliance to the state code. 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.

PO Box 1016 North Andover, MA 01845 RE: Subsurface Sewage Disposal System Plan for Lot 1 Gray Street,Map 107D, subdivision of Parcel 10, North Andover, Massachusetts Dear Mr, Serwatka, The North Andover Board of Health has completed the review of the septic system design plans, for the above referenced property, submitted by you on behalf of your clients, the property owner Stella Realty Trust and the Litchfield Company, Inc. as the applicant. This plan was last revised 9/10/04 and received at this office on 9/22/04. The design has been approved for use in the construction of a new 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. This approval is subject to the following conditions: 1. Title V regulation section 102C—requires 2 deep hole observation tests in the primary and secondary disposal areas. Lot 2 primary and secondary areas only have 2 deep hole tests, both on the north side. According to agreements between the BOH representative and the engineer,the onsite decision was made to reduce the required number of tests for each system. In this case, due to the lack of soil information on the south side of the system, this plan approval conditions that upon construction, if the BOH inspector finds that soil conditions vary within the boundary of the system, he/she may require a confirming test hole prior to allowing the installer to move forward with the system construction. 2. The issuance of the disposal works construction permit is contingent upon the receipt of a foundation as-built of the dwelling. The as-built must be in a scale of 1" = 20`. 3. 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)). 4. 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. 5. According to the North Andover Assessor's Department records this parcel's subdivision has not been finalized. The assessor records still show the parcel, Map 107D, subdivision of Parcel 10 as a single unit. Your plan references the registration of the subdivision with the registry of deeds but does not list the book and page. Prior to being allowed to build on this property the final map and parcel information must be complete. Please contact the town assessor's office if you have any questions on how to proceed towards this end. Once parcel designations have been made, please provide the health office with the new parcel number in relation to he lots. 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.

The following items are in need of attention on a variety of the plans prior to a full review: 1. No site plan is provided as required by state and local code. 2. The provided leaching area is insufficient. 3. The location of the Soil Absorption System (SAS)must incorporate the locations of the test pits. Additionally, it is required(3 10 CMR 15.102(2))that a minimum of 2 deep observation holes and one percolation test be performed at every proposed disposal area. 4. Percolation test locations are not shown. 5. Distances from Septic Tank and SAS to dwelling and property lines must be shown. 6. It appears that these designs have not incorporated a number of North ApOover Board of Health standards. 7.

All have major design shortcomings which are typical of the other plans submitted too. It does not seem prudent to give them a breakdown of all items in need of attention when they need to undertake some major issues such as performing additional deep hole and percolation testing, and designing the sas to the correct size. You may, therefore, wish to send the letter describing major shortcomings instead of the separate letters for each parcel. Please let me know what is decided. The Town will need to respond regarding each parcel within 45 days to avoid default approval. If we are going to send out individual letters per parcel, we'll need to write ones for the other lots too.
