Re: 226 Rea.Street,Map 38,Lot 131
Dear Mr.Tangard:
The proposed septic system design plans for the above site dated October 23,2003 have been reviewed.
Unfortunately,the plans cannot be approved as submitted. The following items are in need of attention prior to
approval:
1. Please specify the septic tank loading. (3 10 CMR 15.226(3))
2. Please indicate the requirement for the distribution box to be made watertight and for the material
beneath the 6" stone layer to be compacted. (3 10 CMR 15.221)
3. Please adjust the settings for the float calculation to provide for a minimum of one day pump
capacity plus drain back volume. (3 10 CMR 15,220)
4. Please specify the size and material of the manhole cover to grade over the pump chamber. (3 10
CMR 15.221)
5. Please indicate that removal of the A soil horizon shall extend at least 6"into the suitable soil of the
B horizon. (NA 9.02)
In addition,dosing greater than once per day increases the efficacy of wastewater treatment and reduces possible
ponding problems with the soil absorption system. You are encouraged to review the currently proposed once daily
dosing.
Please feel free to contact the office with any questions you may have. We look forward to working with you to
obtain a replacement septic system which will be in compliance with all regulations and assure protection of public
health and the environment of North Andover.

Re: 226 Rea Street, Septic system design
Dear Brian:
Enclosed are 5 copies of revised plans for the above referenced property. The changes in
the plan correspond to comments in your latter dated November 12, 2003 and include the
following.
1. The tank loading has been specified.
2. The notes in the detail have been revised to address this issue. Each of the new notes
refers to construction notes that were on the original plan.
3. The settings for the pump calculations have been adjusted. In order to accommodate
this comment the float elevation has been adjusted to provide a cycle of 20.5 inches.
It is the opinion of this office that providing a cycle to the nearest '/a inch may be
difficult if not impossible. In addition,the comment regarding the increased
efficiency of a 4 times per day dose and effluent treatment is noted, however the plan
is designed per title 5 requirements.
4. The size of the manhole cover has been listed as 20" minimum diameter. The material
is cast iron and was specified as such on the original plan.
5. The construction note 4 has been revised to include 6" of the "C" layer. It was
assumed that this comment was referring to the "C" layer and not the "B" layer since
this design does not utilize the"B" layer.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact this office.

RE: Subsurface Sewage Disposal System Plan for 226 Rea Street,Map 38,Lot 131,North Andover,
Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Starnes,
The North Andover Board of Health has completed review of the septic system design plans for the above
referenced property submitted on your behalf by New England Engineering Services dated November 12,
2003,
The design has been approved for use in the construction of a replacement 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 the installer, designer and the Town of North Andover. The time period for which this plan is valid is
reduced to two years from the date of a septic system inspection which did not meet the acceptable criteria
in the state regulations. The time period for which this plan is valid may be reduced by the North Andover
Board of Health in the event an imminent health problem such as sewage backup into the dwelling is
occurring.
This approval is subject to the following conditions:
I 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)).
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 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.
Sincerely,
eidi riffin,
Acting Health Director
