System will pass inspection if(with approval of Board of Health): broken pipe(s)are replaced obstruction is removed distribution box is leveled or replaced ND explain: The system required pumping more than 4 times a year due to broken or obstructed pipe(s).The system will pass inspection if (with approval of the Board of Health): broken pipe(s)are replaced obstruction is removed ND explain: Title 5 Inspection Form 6/15/2000 2 Page 3 of 11 OFFICIAL INSPECTION FORM®NOT FOR VOLUNTARY ASSESSMENTS SUBSURFACE SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM INSPECTION FORM PART A CERTIFICATION(continued) Property Address:_72 Patton Dane_ _ North Andover_ Owner:_Neill Date of Inspection:_8/7/2008_ C. Further Evaluation is Required by the Board of Health: Conditions exist which require further evaluation by the Board of Health in order to determine if the system is failing to protect public health,safety or the environment. 1. System will pass unless Board of Health determines in accordance with 310 CVIR 15.303(1)(b)that the system is not functioning in a manner which will protect public health,safety and the environment: _ Cesspool or privy is within 50 feet of a surface water Cesspool or privy is within 50 feet of a bordering vegetated wetland or a salt marsh 2. System will fail unless the Board of Health(and Public Water Supplier,if any)determines that the system is functioning in a manner that protects the public health,safety and environment: _ The system has a septic tank and soil absorption system(SAS)and the SAS is within 100 feet of a surface water supply or tributary to a surface water supply. The system has a septic tank and SAS and the SAS is within a Zone 1 of a public water supply. The system has a septic tank and SAS and the SAS is within 50 feet of a private water supply well. _ The system has a septic tank and SAS and the SAS is less than 100 feet but 50 feet or more from a private water supply well".Method used to determine distance, "This system passes if the well water analysis,performed at a DEP certified laboratory,for coliform bacteria and volatile organic compounds indicates that the well is free from pollution from that facility and the presence of ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen is equal to or less than 5 ppm,provided that no other failure criteria are triggered.A copy of the analysis must be attached to this form. 3.

System Failure Criteria applicable to all systems: You must indicate"yes"or"no"to each of the following for all inspections: _No_ Backup of sewage into facility or system component due to overloaded or clogged SAS or cesspool ____ _No— Discharge or ponding of effluent to the surface of the ground or surface waters due to an overloaded or clogged SAS or cesspool _No_ Static liquid level in the distribution box above outlet invert due to an overloaded or clogged SAS or cesspool _No_ Liquid depth in cesspool is less than 6"below invert or available volume is '/z day flow. _No_ Required pumping more than 4 times in the last year NOT due to clogged or obstructed pipe(s). Number of times pumped _No_ Any portion of the SAS,cesspool or privy is below high ground water elevation. _No— Any portion of cesspool or privy is within 100 feet of a surface water supply or tributary to a surface water supply. No— Any portion of a cesspool or privy is within a Zone 1 of a public well. _No_ Any portion of a cesspool or privy is within 50 feet of a private water supply well. _No— Any portion of a cesspool or privy is less than 100 feet but greater than 50 feet from a private water supply well with no acceptable water quality analysis. [This system passes if the well water analysis, performed at a DEP certified laboratory,for coliform bacteria and volatile organic compounds indicates that the well is free from pollution from that facility and the presence of ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen is equal to or less than 5 ppm,provided that no other failure criteria are triggered.A copy of the analysis must be attached to this form.] _No_(Yes/No)The system fails.I have determined that one or more of the above failure criteria exist as described in 310 CMR 15.303,therefore the system fails.The system owner should contact the Board of Health to determine what will be necessary to correct the failure E. Large Systems: To be considered a large system the system must serve a facility with a design flow of 10,000 gpd to 15,000 gpd• You must indicate either"yes"or"no"to each of the following: (The following criteria apply to large systems in addition to the criteria above) yes no the system is within 400 feet of a surface drinking water supply the system is within 200 feet of a tributary to a surface drinking water supply the system is located in a nitrogen sensitive area(Interim Wellhead Protection Area—IWPA)or a mapped Zone II of a public water supply well If you have answered"yes"to any question in Section E the system is considered a significant threat,or answered "yes"in Section D above the large system has failed.The owner or operator of any large system considered a significant threat under Section E or failed under Section D shall upgrade the system in accordance with 310 CMR 15.304. The system owner should contact the appropriate regional office of the Department.
