RE: Lots 1,24,7,8 &9 Gray Street, North Andover, MA
Dear Mr. Serwatka,
The proposed septic system design plans for the above sites dated April, 2004 have been assessed
but not fully reviewed because of some major design issues. 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 Andover Board
of Health standards.
7. Given your proximity to several wetland areas, please provide the name of the person
who delineated the wetlands and the date the delineation was performed.
Additionally,please provide the North Andover Conservation Commission's
confirmation of this data.
Please feel free to contact the office with any questions you may have. We look forward to
working with you to obtain septic system designs which will be in compliance with all
regulations and assure protection of public health and the environment of North Andover.
Sincerely,

RE: Subsurface Sewage Disposal System Plan for Lot 4 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 6/14/04 and received at this office on 7/8/04.
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 die 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 4 primary and secondary areas only have 1 deep hole test. 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 there should be a total of 2 deep holes in the
vicinity of the proposed primary and secondary 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.
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.

Folks,
Plan review for Gray Street Lot 4 is attached. The technical information is fine, but they are using
Infiltrator-brand gravel-less chambers for new construction and did not provide information to document
that a conventional system can be installed on the site. This should not be a problem for this parcel, but I
believe it is prudent we require this in all instances as specified by MDEP.
Also, you may wish to confirm with Alison the wetlands notations and locations on the plan just to make
sure nothing got lost in the translation from one designer to the next.

Hi Pamela,
I thought we sent this, but ... Here is the Final for Lot 4/240 Gray Street. There were a
couple of issues here:
1. Sue noted that the fill around the tank-was unacceptable, and needed to be removed.
At inspection time, it was still there. My bet is that he did not remove it. Sue and I
talked about this a week or so ago.
2. He did not use stone under d-box. I let this pass, but requested that he install speed
levelers on D-box and hydraulic all pipe junctions to the tanks and d-box.
3. The original design did NOT require a barrier. Innis did not cut chambers, so his
field is longer than the design called for. I talked with Ben Osgood and Ben was
supposed to stake out the edge of the fill so that breakout is met. You might check
with Ben on this before final grade inspection.
