At that meeting the members of the Board of Health approved a variance to the North Andover Subsurface Disposal Regulations 1.07 "Cesspools are failed systems and shall be replaced with a system meeting these regulations and 310 CMR 15.000" a cesspool is a failed system". With this variance the board allows the property, known as 846 Chestnut Street, to maintain the drywell for the purpose of the laundry water only. This variance approval is granted for the home as was approved for a recent addition. It does not include any future additions to the total number of rooms such as the garage and pool house. Any further addition of flow to this system would require the installation of a fully compliant wastewater disposal system or the connection of the home to a municipal sewer and the proper abandonment of the existing system.

Sawyer, REHS/RS Public Health Director Town of North Andover 400 Osgood Street North Andover, MA 01845 Re: Variance to North Andover Septic Regulation 1.07 for laundry-only subsurface disposal system (grey water) Board of Health Members, We are currently undergoing renovations and an addition to our home that involves no change in the number of bedrooms(four). There are two subsurface sewage disposal systems in place. The primary (blackwater) system consists of a septic tank, distribution box, and leaching field, which are functioning properly, appropriately sized, and in compliance with Title V regulations (3 10 CMR 15.303) as demonstrated by a passed Title V inspection(Dean Luscomb II and sons, 10/24/2005) and review by a licensed professional engineer(Norse Engineering, 3/25/2006). A secondary (greywater) system is in use for laundry discharge only and consists of a subsurface dry well pit of stone that is functioning properly and has passed a Title V inspection (Dean Luscomb II and sons, 3/17/2006). Steven Eriksen, a registered sanitarian and certified soil scientist has reviewed the relevant documents and state and local regulations and has rendered the opinion that the current greywater system should be allowed to remain. in place (Norse Engineering, 3/25/2006). He notes that Mass DEP state regulations do not require tie in of a separate discharge as long as it passes a Title V inspection. However, as indicated in a 4/4/2006 letter from Susan Sawyer,North Andover Public Health Director,maintaining our current greywater system appears to be in conflict with North Andover Septic Regulation 1.07 which states that "Cesspools are failed systems and shall be replaced with a system meeting these regulations and 310 CMR 15.000". It is our desire to do the right thing to ensure public health and protect the environment. Greywater discharge is primarily an environmental concern and blackwater is primarily a public health concern. In our situation,there are no wetlands, rivers or streams, open water, or wells within a distance much greater than the required 100 feet from our greywater system. Therefore,there is no environmental risk in continuing to use this system. Furthermore,there is benefit in improving the efficiency and lifespan of our primary blackwater system by not tying in the laundry effluent(Norse Engineering, 3/25/2006). For these reasons, we are requesting that the Board of Health grant a variance to the North Andover Septic Regulation 1.07 and allow us to maintain our current laundry-only subsurface disposal system.

I inspected the property and reviewed the Title 5 inspection documents by Dean Luscomb for the leaching facility and the dry well. 1 also received a copy of your letter of March 22, 2006 to Ms. Skelton.No original documents of the design or as built plans were available. I also reviewed the proposed addition and note that it is a four bedroom dwelling and no additional bedrooms are proposed. It appears that the inspection was thorough and in compliance with Title 5 standards and policies. I have no reason to suspect that the inspection is inaccurate or flawed in any way, and assume that it is accurate. There is no evidence of system failure and the inspector noted none of the Title 5 failure criteria were observed. The inspection shows one 90' long trench,probably three feet in width and likely one foot in depth below the perforated pipe with a dry well for laundry wastewater. This was a fairly conventional design for the time period. It appears that both systems are above the water table. We have no percolation rate data and do not know the exact size of the trenches to calculate if it would meet current standards, but it appears that it was installed in compliance with all applicable regulations at the time of construction. Given the circumstances,the system is functioning adequately and I would see no reason to require any upgrades or repairs to the system. In my opinion, the system is adequately sized for the existing dwelling and the proposed addition. Furthermore,though I believe that the system would be capable of taking the greywater, I do not think that this would be beneficial. As you are aware, greywater has a far lower bacterial level than blackwater, Ili the past, many towns required separation of the laundry waste. This can substantially reduce the effluent loading rate of the trenches and could increase the life span of the system. I understand that DEP is currently considering regulations for greywater systems,but currently Title 5 does not regulate greywater systems. 01008 PI11 NORSE_ ENVIRONMENYAL 9786497582 P_ 03 The Mass DEP website does provide some guidance(attached) noting that "Title 5 does not require the tie in of a separate discharge as long as that discharge is inspected and r passes a Title 5 inspection. f r, Given the circumstances, it is my professional opinion that the system is adequate to service the dwelling as is,and no additional work is necessary to upgrade the facility.

Should conditions change and failure of the greywater system occur,tie in to the leaching facility would be appropriate.

The information submitted on March 27d'has been reviewed and the health department has the following comments in relation to the previous letter. 1) The Title V report for the second subsurface disposal system has been properly submitted, 2) A professional engineer, Steven Eriksen,of Norse Environmental Services,Inc. has submitted a written opinion as requested and a supplemental opinion on April 4,2006. Mr.Eriksen was contacted to confirm the size of the existing home.The drawing submitted by you on March 130', identified the current home as a 30bedroom,however Mr.Eriksen has personally confirmed that this home is currently a 4-bedroom home therefore the sketch drawing is not precisely accurate. The North Andover Subsurface Disposal Regulations state that by definition 1.07"Cesspools are failed systems and shall be replaced with a system meeting these regulations and 310 CMR 15.000"a cesspool is a failed system". This letter is to inform you that the cesspool/laundry drywell system must be abandoned and the internal plumbing be rerouted to the piping to the subsurface disposal system. In addition Part F 17.06 states that if the leaching area has not received usual effluent it shall require a second inspection conducted 6 months later by a MA and N. Andover licensed system inspector and a report must be submitted to the Health Department. In regard to tying the laundry into the subsurface disposal system,the report submitted by Norse Environmental states that he does"not think that this would be beneficial"in this case.Therefore,if you wish to request a variance to the Board of Health regulations,allowing you to continue the usage of your laundry system, you may do so by submitting a written request addressed to the Board of Health,to be heard at the next regularly scheduled Board of Health meeting.Please refer to the regulation section listed above in your request. At the meeting,the board members will review Mr.Eriksen's findings and,if you wish to do so,you may present any additional evidence to the three board members as to why this variance should be granted. If you choose this option,please submit your request in-writing at least seven(7)days prior to the board meeting. The next scheduled meeting is on April 27,2006 at 7:00 PM,in the Town Hall 2,d floor selectmen's meeting room. This letter will be forwarded to the Building Department. It is common practice that this office approves a building permit for an addition to a structure,while concurrently,the corrections to septic system is being done. Failure to comply with these stipulations could result in further action.Therefore, in good faith,this office has signed off on the building permit with the stipulation that the septic system issues will be corrected prior to issuing any Building Department final occupancy permit,for the completed addition.

Further research on the above site, including a site inspection of the building, shows that it is currently used as a four bedroom dwelling. However, it was assessed by the Town of North Andover as a five bedroom unit, and could be used for five bedrooms. In my opinion, the system does not meet any of the failure criteria of 310 CMR 15.303, Systems Failing to Protect Public Health and Safety and the Environment. Therefore, the application for a permit for tip to a five bedroom addition would be appropriate and reasonable. If you have any questions,please feel free to contact me. Thank you.

In short,the following items remain at issue. 1) The Title V Inspector must submit proper documentation to make his submission comply with the Title V state inspection requirements. 2) A licensed professional engineer must review and consider all of the documents,the property itself and all available information necessary to reach their conclusion. If you have any original documents,please provide them for this process,as the Health Dept. has no records available. A letter is to be submitted to this office by the engineer. It must indicate whether or not in their professional opinion,the existing septic system is properly sized for the home with the proposed addition.They should also indicate whether or not the introduction of the laundry and the abandonment of the gray water system are recommended. 3) Once submitted,all of the information will be reviewed by the Health Department personnel for its completeness and a written response will be given as to any further action needed. As you are likely aware,Title V has certain requirements that are to be met if there is an increase in flow. 310 CMR 15.352 "No person shall increase the actual or design flow to any system above the existing approved capacity,unless the system is upgraded". It is important that you provide the engineer with the pre and post plans to assist them in determining whether or not the existing size of the subsurface disposal system can handle any proposed increases in flow as is required by state regulation. If it is not sufficient and replacement is identified,we will assist you through that process. Also,please submit the pre and post floor plan design to be added to your submission packet. Lastly,the certified plot plan submitted with your permit application shows that there will be no work done to the rear of the home near the septic. If this is incorrect,the septic system components must be shown on the certified plot plan to ensure the integrity of the system and compliance to the setbacks set in the state regulation. It is encouraged that you provide a copy of this correspondence to the engineer so they may have a guide to assist them in providing you the service necessary to move this process forward. If they have any questions,the engineer may contact us at any time.Michele Grant or I will be happy to assist them or you if you have any questions regarding this correspondence.
