To whom it may concern:
At request of owner at 743 Main Street, we come back to re-examine the
D-Box. We now find the D-Box at normal levels, no ponding. They had the
pipes cleaned with water jetting by Drain King, which has unplogged the
pipes. We monitored the D-Box for several months and it has maintained
level. We are submitting a new Title V passing all criteria's

CERTIFICATION STATEMENT
I certify that I have personally inspected the sewage disposal system at this address and that the information reported below is true, accurate
and complete as of the time of inspection. The inspection was performed based on my training and experience in the proper function and
maintenance of on-site sewage disposal systems. The system:
Passes
Conditionally Passes
Needs Further Evaluation By the Local Approving Authority
Fails
Inspector's Signature: Date:
The System Inspector shall submit a copy of this inspection report to the Approving Authority within thirty (30) days of completing this
inspection. If the system is a shared system or has a design flow of 10,000 gpd or greater, the inspector and the system owner shall submit
the report to the appropriate regional office of the Department of Environmental Protection,
The original should be sent to the system owner and copies sent to the buyer, if applicable and the approving authority.
INSPECTION SUMMARY:
Check A, B, C, or D:
A) SYSTEM PASSES:
I have not found any information which indicates that the system violates any of the failure criteria as defined in 310 CMR 15,303.
Any failure criteria not evaluated are indicated below,
B] SYSTEM CONDITIONALLY PASSES: ti
One or more system components need to be replaced or repaired, The system, upon completion of the replacement or repak,
passes inspection.
Indicate yes, no, or not determined (Y, N, or ND). Describe basis of determination in all instances. If"not determined", explain why not)
The septic tank is metal, cracked, structurally unsound, shows substantial infiltration or exfiltration, or tank failure is
imminent. The system will pass inspection if the existing septic tank is replaced with a conforming septic tank as
approved by the Board of Health.

0] SYSTEM CONDITIONALLY PASSES (continued)
Sewage backup or breakout orhi0etgicwater level observed in the distribution box is due tobroken or obstructed
pipe(s) or due to a broken, settled or uneven distribution box. The system will pass inspection if(with approval of the
Board of Health): |
broken pipe(s are replaced
obstruction isremoved
distribution box is levelled or replaced
The system required pumping more than four 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
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 the
public health, safety and the environment. �
�
1) SYSTEM WILL PASS UNLESS BOARD OF HEALTH D8ERN|W85 THAT THE SYSTEM B NOT FUNCTIONING IN A MANNER
WHICH WILL PROTECT THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT:
Cesspool or privy is within 50 feet of surface water �
Cesspool or privy is within 50 fee, of bordering vegetated wetland or salt marsh.
_ %) SYSTEM WILL R\|L UNLESS THE BOARD OF HEALTH (ANO PUBLIC WATER SUPPLIER, IF APPROPRIATE) DETERMINES THAT
THE SYSTEM 15 FUNCTIONING IN A MANNER THAT PROTECT THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY AND THE
ENVIRONMENT:
__ The mrrm ha, a septic tank and awi| absorption system and is within 100 feet toasurface water supply or tributary to
surface water supply,
__ The system he a septic tank and soil absorption system and is within a Zone | of public water supply well,
__ The system has a septic tank and soil absorption system and is within 50 feet of a private water supply well.
__ The system ka�, a septic tank and soil absorption system and is less than 108 feet but 50 feet or more from a private water
supply well, unless a well water analysis 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.
D] SYSTEM FAILS:
/11"/ �| h �6�mennined� the system violates one or more of the following failure criteria amdefined |n310CMR 15.303. The basis
for this determination is i6enhGu6 below. The Board of Health should be contacted to determine what will be necessary to correct
the failure.
__ Backup of sewage into facility or system component due Vman overloaded or clogged SAS or cesspool,
__ Discharge orpwndingof effluent \m the surface of the ground or surface waters due Vman overloaded or clogged SAS or
cesspool. ^'

D)SYSTEM FAILS (continued):
® Static liqui lev in the distribution box above outlet invert due to an overloaded or clogged SAS or cesspool.
® Liquid depth in cesspool is less than 6" below invert or available volume is less than 112 day flow.
® Required pumping more than 4 times in the last year NOT due to clogged or obstructed pipe(s).
Number of times pumped
® Any portion of the Soil Absorption System, cesspool or privy is below the high groundwater elevation.
® Any portion of a cesspool or privy is within 100 feet of a surface water supply or tributary to a surface water supply.
Any portion of a cesspool or privy is within a Zone I of a public well.
— Any portion of a cesspool or privy is within 50 feet of a private water supply well.
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. If the well has been analyzed to be acceptable, attach copy of well water analysis for
coliform bacteria, volatile organic compounds, ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen.
EJ LARGE SYSTEM FAILS: /4'
The following criteria apply to large systems in addition to the criteria above:
The design flow of system is 10,000 gpd or greater (Large System) and the system is a significant threat to public health and safety
and the environment because one or more of the following conditions exist:
— 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 11 of a
public water supply welh
The owner or operator of any such system shall bring the system and facility into full compliance with the groundwater treatment program
requirements of 314 CMR 5.00 and 6.00. Please consult the local regional office of the Department for further information.

Date of Inspection:
Check if the following have been done:
s° Pumping information was requested of the owner, occupant, and Board of Health.
None of the system components have been pumped for at least two weeks and the system has been receiving normal flow rates
/during that period. Large volumes of water have not been introduced into the system recently or as part of this inspection.
7 As built plans have been obtained and examined. Note if they are not available with N/A.
The facility or dwelling was inspected for signs of sewage back-up,
I
The system does not receive non-sanitary or industrial waste flow
_The site was inspected for signs of breakout.
All system components, excluding the Soil Absorption System, have been located on the site.
7 The septic tank manholes were uncovered, opened, and the interior of the septic tank was inspected for condition of baffles or
7 tees, material of construction, dimensions, depth of liquid, depth of sludge, depth of scum.
The size and location of the Soil Absorption System on the site has been determined based on existing information or
approximated by non-intrusive methods.
_The facility o,%rer (and occupants, if different from ova,ner) were provided with information on the proper maintenance of Sub-
Surface Disposal System.
