Unfortunately,the plans cannot be approved as submitted. The following items are in need of attention prior to approval: 1, Please provide the hall legal boundaries and abutters of the property being served. This may be accomplished on a separate sheet if necessary due to the parcel size. (3 10 CMR 15.220 and NA 8,02j) 2. Please provide the Assessor's Map and Lot#for the parcel, (3 10 CMR 15.220) 3. Please indicate the location and materials found in the two additional test holes performed on the parcel. (NA 8.02n) 4. Please provide the mechanism for the contractor to maintain compliance with regulations where the water line crosses the building sewer and pressure line. On a related rnatter, the System Profile indicates the water line depth at 2' which is possible,though unlikely, due to conventional construction practices maintaining a 4' depth when possible, (3 10 CMR 15.211) 5, The existing septic tank is proposed to be re-used though it is only 1,000 gallons in size, A Local Upgrade Approval is required to be granted for this action. Should you choose to seek such approval,please demonstrate why full compliance with the code standard of a 1,500 gallon tank is not feasible(3 10 CMR 15.404 &405) G. Since the original building sewer and septic tank are proposed to be re-used,please provide a note to indicate the designer and health inspector are to confirm compliance with regulatory standards prior to or at the time of construction and that lack of compliance will require a replacement building sewer and/or septic tank. Please specify standards to be met,including pipe diameter,pipe material, watertight joints, continuous grade,proper base, and proper pitch of the building sewer(3 10 CMR 15,222)along with watertightness, size,access ports, risers,tees,etc. for the septic tank(3 10 CMR 15,223,220,227,&228) 7. The inlet tee at the distribution box is specified on the system profile but not on the detail of the distribution box, Please clarify this matter, 8. Piping inside the pump chamber is specified with different schedules at different parts of the design plan, Please clarify this matter.

(3 10 CMR 15.226(3)) 10. Trenches are to be used as the soil absorption system.mechanism whenever possible. Please use trenches in this instance or explain why they cannot be utilized. (3 10 C.MR 15.210) 11. The system profile contains unclear notation regarding cover material over the tanks(9" minimum)and the depth of risers(6"ni xirnrnn). This should be made clearer. 12. DEP Form 12 containing the percolation test results was not provided. Though not a reason for disapproval,you are encouraged to consider the following items: I. The design is based on 900 sq. foot minimum when regulations do not require a minimum square foot allocation for an upgrade situation. You may wish to modify this design component. 2. Pump Note#7 and the system profile indicate risers are to be within 6"of final grade as provided in the regulations. You are encouraged to consider requiring manholes to grade so that ease of maintenance can be achieved. 1 The system profile appears to indicate a trough will exist in the pressure pipe feeding the distribution box. If this is the case,you are encouraged to re-design or insulate the pipe to assure freezing does not become a problem. 4. You may be able to reduce drainage and fill issues with use of an impervious barrier in compliance with in compliance with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Policy BRP/DWM/WPeP/G02-1. 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 envirornnent of North Andover.

Re: 32 Hollow Tree Lane,North Andover, Septic system design Dear Sir or Madam.: o II ^ This letter and the enclosed plans are being submitted to address the comments in a letter dated September 22, 2003. Each item is addressed as follows. 1. Full legal boundaries of the lot with abutters have been added to the plan. 2. The assessor's map and parcel are on the plan. The lot label located in the plan view centered on the lot at the top contains this information. 3. The two additional test holes have been added to the plans. 4. The tank has been moved making this item moot. 5. A 1500 gallon new septic tank has been specified making this item moot. 6. A new septic tank, building sewer, etc have been specified to address this item. 7. The inlet tee has been shown on the d-box detail instead of the profile. 8. The note for pipe schedule specification has been changed to match the schedule in the detail. 9. The pump chamber loading has been specified as being H-10 10. Trenches have been designed. 11. The notes regarding cover over the tanks address two issues. The tank itself requires 9” min cover. The 9"min dimension is shown from the ground surface to the top of the tank. The tank is required to have at least one riser to within 6" of finish grade. This office specifies risers on all openings to within 6" of grade. 12. DEP form 12 is enclosed. Items that we were encouraged to consider included revisiting using the 900 square foot minimum design criteria. The design has been changed to trenches so the 900 square foot leach bed criteria no longer applies. It has been the policy of the town in the past to require the 900 square foot leach field even on repairs. 60 B[::E(:BMtC 01) DRIVE.W NORTH ANDOVER, MA 01845..(978)686-1768-(888)359-7645-FAX(976)685-1099 Regarding the cast iron covers at grade. This office agrees with your assertion that the covers are a better design, however they are not required and cast iron covers are expensive. 'The installers don't like to install them and therefor always tell the customer that they can be eliminated to save money. When confronted by the customer regarding the extra cost the town would inform the customer that they were not required and that they should speak to the engineer about eliminating them and that the town didn't have the power to force their use. It became a hassle to argue about this issue so we stopped specifying them. Sincerely, Benjamin C. OsgoodW , Jr., , .

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: 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 (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. Page 1 of 2 Your effort to provide a properly functioning septic system for your dwelling is greatly appreciated.
