SCOTT Director Raggs Septic, Inc. P. O. Box 1027 Concord,MA 01472 RE: 815 Johnson Street Dear Stacy: On April 15, 1998 an application was submitted to the North Andover Health Department for soil tests at 815 Johnson Street. You were called for information about the engineer and were told that tests could be scheduled with Susan Ford for the week beginning April 27'}'or the week beginning May 4°i if there were severe time constraints for the homeowners. Alternatively, if there was some leeway, tests could possibly be scheduled for the week beginning May l la'with Sandra Starr. You were to discuss the issue with Wendy Diotalevi to determine whether she cared about whoever witnessed the tests and get back to us concerning the speed which was needed by the homeowners. Apparently it was decided that the testing time was not critical and Ms Diotalevi preferred to have Sandra Starr witness the tests because you left a message saying that May 12a'was fine. We had not discussed a particular day. Unfortunately, I have no available time on Tuesday,May 12a'and left a message stating this. You then, apparently, made a threatening call to the Health Department secretary, demanding a specific date and threatening repercussions if one is not set immediately. This method of doing business is not appreciated. Although extremely busy, this office makes every attempt to accommodate those residents with failed septic systems. We understand and sympathize with the strictures placed upon homeowners with respect to the Title 5 regulations and do everything in our power to ease the process and solve the problems. You were previously offered testing dates with Susan Ford. She has available time to do these tests on either Tuesday,May 5U'or Thursday, May 7°i at 9:00 A.M. I am not available for soil testing until at least May 14'h, if then. Please call the Health office at the number below if either May 5a'or 7U'will work for you or whether you again wish to wait for me to witness the soil tests. Sincerely, Sandra Starr,R.S. Health Administrator Cc: Wm. &Claire Moody File BOARD OF APPEALS 688-9541 BUILDING 688-9545 CONSERVATION 688-9530 HEALTH 688-9540 PLANNING 688-9535 You Since April 28, 1998Jy Ms. Sandra Starr Board of Health Town of North Andover 120 Main Street North Andover, MA 01845 VIA FAX: (978)688-9542 RE: Scheduling of soil testing 815 Johnson St. Dear Ms. Starr: I am writing to you on behalf of the homeowners of the referenced property, Mr. and Mrs. William Moody. Their property has a septic system which was recently inspected. After consultation with you, it was determined that the system would not pass Title 5. As the homeowners hope to correct the deficiencies of the septic system on this site and, eventually, transfer title to their property in the coming months, they wish to start the process to obtain the proper documentation which would allow them to have a Certificate of Compliance for the septic system on their property. After consultation with your office, we have submitted the Town of North Andover's form, "Application for Soil Tests." Included with the package was a check in the amount of seventy-five ($75.00) dollars for the soil testing fee, a copy of the plot plan with structures located and without structures located, the Assessor's Map, the deed description, and a copy of a section of our form which is signed by the client granting us permission to proceed with this project. This package was sent out on or about April 8th Subsequently, we had hoped to schedule a mutually convenient date for testing. To date, this has not been possible, as we have not been able to converse by telephone. After calls to your office, you had left a message at this office stating that the week of the eleventh of May, 1998 had availability. I returned the call and left a message asking if Tuesday, May 12, 1998 was still available and, if so, could testing be done that day. I also asked that if that date was not available to please let me know what date or dates were available and that I would try to coordinate the soil evaluator and the backhoe for the day you were to be available. I had also mentioned on the RAG GS GS /v9.9 P A IC SERVICE, INC. d.b,a. E.A. COMEAU SEPTIC P.O. Box 1027 Concord, Massachusetts 01742 (978)369-1100 (800)287-5541 FAX(978)897-3848 website: http://www.i-aggsinc.com e-mail: info@raggsinc.com N.Andover8l Uohnson-4/28/98-Pg.2/2 message that if the twelfth of May was acceptable that you did not need to call me back that I notify the necessary personnel. Today, this office received a call from you during which you explained that May 121h was not a good date for you and that you would have to let us know when you could witness testing. My office immediately contacted me and I immediately returned the call. However, I was informed by your new assistant that you were in a meeting. I explained the situation as I have summarized in this letter. She explained that she would relay the information and would ask you to return the call or if you gave her the date perhaps she could return the call. We realize that this is an extremely busy time of the year. The homeowners of this property and I hope to have contact with you soon. Please contact me, either by phone at (978) 369-1100 or fax at (978) 897-3848, and let me know two dates and times for testing which you have available. Please let me know if you would like the test holes dug before you arrive at the site and if you would like to pre-soak started. I will check with the soil evaluator the day you send this information to me and will confirm which of the two days we can meet you on-site. As I am very aware that this is a very busy time of the year, I am hoping that this approach may help us to proceed to the next step of this project even if we do not speak to each other directly. We look forward to working with you on this project. It is hoped that this scheduling hurdle can be overcome by the end of the day Friday, May 1, 1998 as the homeowners involved are directly affected by the scheduling of the testing of this site.
