Hi Lois,
The soil testing was conducted on May 8, 2008.
1 still don't have the title V inspection report, but I guess we can surmise it failed.
Now we wait for the engineer to submit septic plans for review. The Health Department has up to 45 days
to approve a plan, although 2 -3 weeks is usual. If any variances to the code are needed, the engineer
will request to go before the Board of Health to request a variance. (they meet 1 /month)
I see that there is a stream in the front yard; if the engineer finds the new system is within 100 feet then
he will apply to the conservation department. If not, you are all set there.
As you can see these things take time. I expect the engineer will get the plan in next week. Then we go
from there. Once there is an approved plan, an accurate estimate can be gotten from various septic
installers. Are they putting in escrow?
Since you are committed, you should probably come and look at the plans when they come in. Is there a
5/16/2008
Page 2 of 3
pool or are you looking to put one in?Are you thinking of adding rooms in the near or distant future? Now
is the time to ask the questions. Once it is built it usually not easy to move or add rooms onto the system.
I will let you know when the plan comes in.
Last question. It is an odd one. Do you know where the homeowners are moving? Will they be leaving the
state? And working elsewhere?This is a tax question only,
Susan

Here is the information we have on the septic. They stated in the marketing material that they were
installing a new septic. Does replacing the leaching field qualify at a new septic?

Regarding the title V inspection, here is what I have been cable to find out. The Seller has not yet
received the formal report from the inspector, Soucy. Based on the information provided by Soucy
to Seller the leeching field needs replacing; the rest (tank, etc) is fine.
The engineer working on the plan is Bill Dufresne with Merrimack Engineering. He has already done
the test holes (last Thursday)and is in process of doing the plan.
As you know, once the plan is drawn it is then subject to Town of Forth .Andover approval.
Call with questions

Re: Subsurface Sewage Disposal System Plan for 275 Hay Meadow Rd., Map 10413, Lot 84
Dear Mr. Eriksen:
The proposed wastewater system design plan for the above site dated May 16, 2008 and received
on May 21, 2008 has been reviewed. Unfortunately, the plan cannot be approved until the
following items are corrected. The specific section in Title 5: 310 CMR 15.000, or North
Andover regulation that is not met by this design follows each item.
Please submit LUA for the following items. The Health office is in support of this
approval.
a. There is only one test pit in the proposed soil absorption system area. It is
understood that additional test pits were attempted but were not successful due to
the presence of the existing wastewater system, however,the presence of only one
test pit would require a Local Upgrade Approval for only having one test pit in the
soil absorption system area-102(2)
b. The percolation test appears not to be in the soil absorption area, again we
understand much of the existing system will need to be removed and as stated
above the soils seem consistent. Please include this in your Local Upgrade
Approval request -104(4)
2. Please provide all distances to the tanks from the dwelling and the property lines—
NA8.03(a-c)
J. D-Box noted with marking tape. Please specify magnetic marking tape is to be over all
system components—221(12)
L__11,,'4'.1 Upon revised submission please provide at least one set of design plans with an original
stamp and signature—220(2)
' 5. Please include the drainback volume in the pump calculations - 231
1 Please provide a pump performance curve and calculations to describe if the pump
specified will be adequate—220(4)

On items 8 and 9 noted in the plan disapproval letter dated 5/27/08, would you please clarify where they

Pam,
With regard to item 48, the depth of excavation is noted in the Deep Test
Pesults.
With regard to item #g, the storage capacity has nothing to do with the
elevation of the farce main. The gravity inlet and the pump on and off levels
are what affect the storage capacity of the chamber and the calculations are on
the plan. Likewise the depth of the force main is not required to be above the
E.i.W.T. In most cases the pump chamber is within the water table, that is why
pumping is required to begin with. Title h requires the force main to be beneath
frost elevation which is most often within the E. .W.T. If the force main was to
be above the E. .W.T. then this would very often contradict the requirement to
be below frost depth. No specific elevation is specified because the depth of
the force main is variable based can the depth the tank is installed at, the site
grading, and whether the contractor installs the force main to drain back to the
chamber or to be below the frost line. These requirements are all specified on the plan.
Mope this information is helpful and will allow a permit to be issued,
am curious as to the confusion regarding these issues when this information
has been represented the same way can many plans previously reviewed and
approved by your office.
Thanks,
Bill

RE: Septic System Design, 275 Hay Meadow,North Andover, Map 104B, Lot 84
Dear Mr. Venator,
The North Andover Board of Health has completed the review of the septic system design plans,
for the above referenced property, submitted on your behalf by Merrimack Engineering Services,
dated May 16, 2008, last revised May 29, 2008. This plan has been approved. The approval
includes a Local Upgrade Approval for the request to have only one test pit within the area of the
proposed system. Please keep a copy of the attached document for your records. This plan is
valid for two years from the date of this approval.
The design has been approved for use in the construction of an onsite septic system for a 4-
bedroom house (maximum 9-room). During this time, a licensed septic system installer must
obtain a permit and complete this work, and a Certificate of Compliance be endorsed by the
installer, designer and the Town of North Andover. In the event an imminent health problem
such as sewage backup into the dwelling is occurring, the North Andover Board of Health may
reduce the time period for which this plan is valid.
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.
2. 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 or imply
compliance with any of the aforementioned requirement.
