A variance to depth of ground water from four feet to three feet was granted March 1, 2001. Please note that because of ground water variance, there may be no additional rooms added on to the structure as long as lot served by on-site subsurface sewerage disposal system. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Board of Health Office at 978-688-9540. Sincerely, Sandra Starr, R.S., C.H.O.

Health Director Town of North Andover 27 Charles Street North Andover, MA 01845 RE: 360 Forest Street Dear Ms. Starr: We are in receipt of your review letter dated December 14, 2000 for the above referenced project. You noted 3 technical deficiencies. Our response to these deficiencies are as follows: 1. We adjusted our local upgrade request for groundwater-offset from 3.5 ft. to 3.0 ft. to meet the offset from the highest existing grade. The entire leach field cannot be raised as designed because grading would extend beyond the property limits (note the narrowness of the lot) also raising the system would cause drainage problems at the building foundation and the front stairs would become buried. 2. 310 CMR 15.232 (3)(2) requires an inlet tee or baffle extended 1 inch above the outlet invert. Note the plan profile specifies a tee to be installed inside the D. Box which will extend 1 inch above the outlet invert as such this requirement has been met. 3. Only one test pit was performed within the system location because the proposed system is halfway within the existing system location thus precluding us from conducting a second deep hole. We request this requirement be waived given the space limitation on site. We hope we have adequately addressed your concerns regarding this design. Please contact us if you have any further comments or concerns.
