The building sewer pipe exiting the dwelling towards the septic tank was not backf lied to provide adequate support against settling. 2. The septic tank used is a Roth Multitank. The MassDEP approval section IV 4(attached) requires the installer be certified to put these tanks in the groanzd. Mr. Wadsworth indicated he believed he was certified and was going to check his paperwork. Relatedly, the tank was backfilled with sand, not pea gravel, and at the time out in the field I was not sure if that was acceptable or not. I have now reviewed the approval for these tanks and the associated installation manual and it does say clean sand is acceptable as long as the sand or pea gravel is placed inside the bumps (haunches, as they call them) of the tank(attached). I did not get to discuss this with Mr. Wadsworth but from the parts of the tank that I saw, this type of back filling was not completed. Mr. Wadsworth was instructed to investigate the tank installation in general as well as the MassDEP approval fitrther, and was instructed that as the licensed installer he is expected to maintain compliance with all relevant approvals at the construction project. 3. The distribution box was poorly constructed with one or several pipes protruding through the wall at a steep angle and thus even flow exiting the box could not be provided. The pipes were also not level for the first 2'exiting the box. Please make your check payable to the Town of North Andover and submit to the Health Department at 1600 Osgood St.,North Andover, Ma 01845. Thank you.

The email is requesting to review the I possibility of requesting a post-construction variance because the sail absorption system was constructed at a depth of approximately 7„ deeper than authorized by Title 5 and the approved design plan. We have concerns about issuance of a variance in this instance. As indicated in the approval letter issued to the property owner Mr. Fischer and copied to the j designer James Morin, if site conditions are found to be different all work shall cease and the Health Department notified. This language is also reflected in Title 5 at Section 020 (1). Moreover, General Note #10 on the approved design plan requires the installer to notify the designer of any alterations prior to proceeding with construction. It is our understanding from this email that the Health Department was not aware of any construction changes related to the elevation of the leach field. Furthermore,this email does I not say that compliance with Title 5 is not possible. Construction of a septic system to the approved elevation is a basic requirement of compliance j with Title 5 and the installer should have never proceeded to build this system once he was j aware that the elevation was not acceptable. This information had to been known by the installer prior to and during the construction of the system, not just when reported to your office at the conclusion of construction. Therefore, it is our strong recommendation to the Town of North Andover Health Department to require the on-site wastewater system to be installed at the proper elevation. r I Sargent Street, Gloucester, Massachusetts 01930-27,115. eleph rrie 978-282-0014 Fax 978 282316 Cri o"@niillriverrorrsraltirIg.corrI www.millriv rconsrrPtrrlg rc"1' NorthEast -#Engineering 5 October 11, 2015 North Andover Board of Health 1600 Osgood Street, Suite 2035 North Andover, MA 01845 Re: 700 Middleton Road Dear Members: Please accept this letter as a request for a variance/waiver of the Title 5 Regulations for the above referenced property.

Unfortunately, the plan cannot be approved until the following items are corrected. The specific section in Title 5: 310 CMR 15.000, or North Andover regulation that is not met by this design follows each item where applicable. 1. The profile view depicts the same finish grade of 99.5+/- above all the system components which does not provide adequate cover material above the septic tank. Additionally, the profile elevation 100 and the septic tank are depicted incorrectly. Depict the profile to scale, septic tank and proposed finish grades correctly to ensure all system components have the required minimum cover material. 2. On the site plan view and Plan& Profile view, the proposed finish grade of 100.00 above the septic tank does not provide adequate cover material. The top of the septic tank is at elevation 99.97 based on the Graves Concrete specification sheet. 9" of cover material is required in accordance with 310 CMR 15.228(1).

North Andover � Jim, � � � | understand you are attending to your child's drop off at college and | hope that went well. |just did the same last week � and it truly isa bittersweet moment. Jim Herrick represented your project at the North Andover Board of Health last night and | wanted to try summarize � matters for you: � The Board tabled discussion until the next meeting because they were of mixed mind regarding the proximity of the well to the soil absorption system and whether to grant the Local Upgrade Approval as requested or not. � As you see in Section 3.8 of the Town's Onsite Wastewater regulations,they are comfortable reducing setbacks � when the wastewater strength has been reduced using a DEP'approved pre-treatment system. This was � discussed as something for you toconsider. lt was also discussed that the well might not behydrologically connected with the location of the soil absorption system but no one was able to discern that with the information on the plan and what was verbalized by Jim Herrick. People felt a water sample nf the current well might help determine the relationship between the current septic system to the well, as would information about the depth and construction material of the well and the current septic system. Lastly,while it did not come up last night, | would suggest you provide better information on the design plan asto why the soil absorption system could not be placed elsewhere on the property which then does not necessitate a Local Upgrade Approval as | would imagine someone will ask that at some point intime. While | do not have answers tothe above questions for you, | wanted to share my thoughts about the meeting so that you and your client can discuss what transpired and develop some additional information to share with � the Board. 1 i Finally, I wanted to let you know there are still some lingering issues with the plan and associated documents and you will be receiving a technical review letter regarding those in the coming days. On behalf of the North Andover Board of Health and its Health Department,we look forward to working together with you on a successful outcome to this project design and construction. The next meeting of the Board,should you wish to be present, is slated for September 25th. We would want to make sure to have ample time before then to review any new information you might compile. I hope the above information will assist you and your client achieve a successful outcome. If Michele Grant, Isaac Rowe or I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to write.

The meeting minutes from June 25,2015 will be presented for signature at the next BOH meeting. V. OLD BUSINESS VI. NEW BUSINESS A. 29 Granville Lane-John Morin representing the owners of 29 Granville Lane,requested a LUA to reduce the separation distance fi•om the soil absorption system to the estimated seasonal high ground water table fi-om 5' to 4' (3 10 CMR 15.405(1)(h)(2).Mr,Morin gave a detailed presentation including the background history on the current failed septic system and the location of the proposed new system.Due to an existing in-ground pool,wetlands and other issues,there wasn't a possibility to put the new septic system in the backyard.Although the back of the new system is about 4.8' above the water table which almost meets the 5' set back,the fi-ont of the system would require the LUA.The system will require a small block wall or boulder retaining wall since the new system needs to be raised up.Dr.Trowbridge looked at the plan and asked for clarification on the lot lines.Dr. Trowbridge asked Mr.Ottenhei ner,Mill River Consultant, if there were any issues as far as the abutting property or street were concerned.Mr.Ottenheimer stated there were not.Mr.Ottenheimer also stated that he thought that the design plan was well thought out and didn't see a reason for the LUA to not be granted.Dr.Trowbridge asked Mr.Morin if they needed to go before Conservation.Mr. Morin stated that they had to file with Conservation and that they were issued a permit. MOTION made by Dr.Macmillan to approve the LUA as requested and stated on the plan dated.Motion was seconded by Mr.McCarthy.All in favor and the motion was approved.

A Local Upgrade Approval request to reduce the setback distance froth the private well to the proposed leach field of 77 feet where 1.00 feet is required.(3 10 CMR 15.405(1)(g) 2015 North Andover Board of Health Meeting Page 1 of 4 Board of Health Members: Thomas Trowbridge,DDS,MD,Chairman;Larry Fixler,Member/Clerk;Francis P.MacMillan,Jr., M.D.;Joseph McCarthy,Member; Edwin Pease,Member Health Department Staff:Susan Sawyer,Health Director; Debra Rillahan,Public Health Nurse;Michele Grant,Public Health Inspector;Lisa Blackburn,Health Department Assistant 2. A Local Upgrade Approval request is required to have only one test pit in the proposed leach field area where two are required.(3 10 CMR 15.405(1)(k) 3. A local Upgrade Approval request of setback distances of wetlands to a SAS of 51 feet where 100 feet is required. Mr.Herrick gave a detailed presentation regarding the failed septic system and the new proposed septic system.The new system will be generally in the same area of the existing failed system,which is the only place to put the system.Mr.Herrick stated that they filed a notice of intent with the Conservation Commission but has not met with them yet.They need the approval from Board of Health before they can go before Conservation.Mr.Herrick reviewed the proposed septic plan with the board members.Mr.McCarthy asked Mr.Herrick if the property has a well.Mr.Herrick stated that there is a well.The law requires a system to be 100 ft,fi•om a private well to a proposed leach field area.The LUA of 77 ft.is being requested.Dan Ottenheimer,Mill River Consultant,stated that the risk of contamination of the well water is unique to each site,not the specific distance from the septic system.The state regulations list 100 ft.as an appropriate separation.Dr.Macmillan asked Mr. Ottenheimer if the board had enough information to respond to the LUA's and what would Mr. Ottenheimer suggest.Mr.Ottenheimer stated that is pursuant to the state rules,the town Board has authority to allow the distance reduction.He stated that there could be three possible answers. 1. Approve what was proposed,2.Install a treatment system or 3.Approve what was proposed but have the well water monitored as in a sample drawn once a year. Mr.Herrick asked if there were samples drawn and the water was contaminated,how you would determine where the contamination came fi•om. He stated that the current well is up gradient from the system.It would be difficult to prove that the new septic system is causing an impact to the well water.Mr.McCarthy asked if the new system is in the same area as the failed system. Mr. Herrick stated yes and that the failed system is 30 years old. Mr.McCarthy asked if the well water had been tested and Mr.Herrick stated he was unsure.Mr.Fixler suggested getting a water test now to get a baseline.Dr.Trowbridge looked at the plan and discussed the abutters to the property.It is very unlikely that they would have an impact the well water.A discussion ensued regarding the impact the new septic system could have on the well.Dr.Trowbridge asked if the water tested clean now,but in 2 years came back contaminated,what would then be the Board's responsibility.A discussion ensued regarding a water treatment system.Mr.Herrick stated that the new system will be doing a better job than what is now there.Mr.Fixer asked what the approximate cost of a pre-treatment system would cost.Mr.Herrick replied that tanks cost around $8000 plus the electrical components and regular maintenance.Dr.Macmillan stated that he felt uncomfortable approving the LUA's without a pre-treatment system.Mr.McCarthy stated he isn't concerned and that he would feel comfortable approving the LUA's because the water flow path is away from the well.Dr.Macmillan stated that there are also wetlands on other sides of the property. Mr.McCarthy stated that it is an upgraded septic system and you can't prove that it will fail.The board then referred to Mr.Ottenheimer concerning the septic plans.Mr.Ottenheimer stated that they completed the initial review in June and didn't receive any revised plans until this week.There were two revisions that came in this week alone.There are still some technical questions that need to be considered.Dr.Trowbridge asked Mr.Herrick if there was any way of waiting until next month's BOH meeting to make a decision. Mr.Herrick was not aware of the schedule for the homeowner or others concerned.The Board will refer to Mr.Ottenheimer to work out the concerns with Mr.Herrick. A vote was made by Dr.Macmillan to table the request for the LUA's until the next BOH meeting on the fourth Thursday of September.The vote was seconded by Mr.Fixler.All were in favor. C. 186 Ingalls St.-Vladimir Nemchenok,representing the owners of 186 Ingalls Street,requested two LUA. 1. Setback fiom S.A.S.to FDTN from 20'to 15' 2. Vertical offset fi•om S.A.S.to E.S.W.T.from 4'to 3.5' Mr.Nemchenok gave a detailed presentation on the proposed new septic system and the existing well. A discussion ensued regarding the placement of the new system and the reasons for the requests.The new tank will be put in the same location but in a different angle.The septic is designed for a three bedroom house.Dr.Macmillan asked Mr.Ottenheimer what the best practices are in this situation.Mr. 2015 North Andover Board of Health Meeting Page 2 of 4 Board of Health Members: Thomas Trowbridge,DDS,MD,Chairman;Larry FLYIer,Member/Clerk;Francis P.MacMillan,Jr., M.D.;Joseph McCarthy,Member; Edwin Pease,Member Health Department Staff:Susan Sawyer,Health Director; Debra Rillahan,Public Health Nurse;Michele Grant,Public Health Inspector;Lisa Blackburn,Health Department Assistant � p�� m^� Board�,�^ wm /�nv~"�� ^m��uv" �� v^��^nux Meeting Minutes Tlmmmday — Augumt 27,2015 � 7:00 p.in. � 120 Main Street,2»« DTlo*r Selectmen's Meeting Room North Andover,MA 01845 0Knoheimmatotcd that he has dnoe a thorough review of the proposed p|uu and what is being asked is not unreasonable, MOTION made by Dr.Macmillan to approve the LUA as requested and stated on the plan.

NorthEast Classic Engineering 675 Concord Avenue Belmont, MA 02478 Re: 700 Middleton Street (Map 109,Lot 29) Dear Mr. Morin: The proposed wastewater system design plan for the above site dated May 25, 2015,revised and received on August 23, 2015 has been reviewed. Unfortunately,the plan cannot be approved until the following items are corrected. The specific section in Title 5: 310 CMR 15.000, or North Andover regulation that is not met by this design follows each item where applicable. 1. The incorrect Local Upgrade Approval request form (913) was submitted. The form 9A is required. 2. The profile view appears to propose a finish grade of 100.3 but the site plan view does not appear to indicate the same proposed finish grades. 3. Under the PLAN & PROFILE section, the proposed finish grade above the leach field does not match the profile view. 4. The profile view indicates the septic tank is approximately 57' from the distribution box but the site plan view indicates a distance of approximately 5'. 5. The model of the septic tank and distribution box are still not indicated on the design plan as requested (NA 3.2). 6. The location of the existing system is not shown in the site plan view. 7. A revision date is missing from the design plan. 8. The lot number is missing from the design plan. 9. General note #18 is incorrect. 10. Since the Cultec Chambers system is proposed as an alternative soil absorption system the "Standard Conditions for Alternative Soil Absorption Systems with General Use Certification and/or Approved for Remedial Use" will apply.

North-East Classic Engineering 129 Lexington Road Lowell, MA 01852 Re: 700 Middleton Street (Map 109,Lot 29) Dear Mr. Morin: The proposed wastewater system design plan for the above site dated May 25, 2015 and received on June 1, 2015 has been reviewed. Unfortunately, the plan cannot be approved until the following items are corrected. The specific section in Title 5: 310 CMR 15.000, or North Andover regulation that is not met by this design follows each item. 1. The names of abutters are not indicated on the site plan(NA 3.2). 2. A Local Upgrade Approval request is required to reduce the setback distance from the private well to the proposed leach field (3 10 CMR 15.405(1)(g)), 3. A Local Upgrade Approval request is required to have only one test in the proposed leach field area(3 10 CMR 15.405(1)(k)). 4. A form 9A for the Local Upgrade Approval requests is required. 5. The lot area is not indicated on the site plan (NA 3.2). 6. Setback distances from the proposed system to the existing dwelling,private well and wetland resource area are not indicated on the site plan (NA 3.2). 7. The 5' sand overdig is not indicated on the site plan. 8. The 100' contour line near the proposed system is not indicated on the site plan. 9. The waterline from the private well is not indicated on the site plan(3 10 CMR 15.220(4)(m)). 10.
