Public Health The Variances granted: Nurse 1. Distance from the leach area to the foundation to 11 feet. (978) 688-9543 2. Depth to groundwater from 4 feet to 3 feet. 3. Distance to wetlands to 50 feet. Planning Department (978) 688-9535 Please make sure your client understands that with variance number 2 there can be no additional rooms in the dwelling while the site is served by a septic 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 SS/smc Cc: Du4sq) File Page 1 of 1 nabohmass I From: nabohmass<nabohmass @email.msn.com> To: Gayton Osgood <gayton @mediaone.net> Sent: Tuesday, April 11, 2000 9:31 AM Subject: Variances for 146 Olympic Lane Hi, I have a plan for a septic repair that has asked for the following variances: 1. Reduction in the distance from the leach area to the foundation 2. Reduction in the separation to groundwater from 4'toy�� 3. �--Redu&fomin--t e-size oftheleach-area-- �� 4. Reduction in the distance to wetlands to 50' 1 have no problem with number 1, but the combination of the next three make me very uncomfortable and I am not going to allow all three without some sort of alternative system. My rationale goes like this: With the reduction to the groundwater,the effluent is being treated less than it normally would. The leach area is a field and our regulations require a minimum of 900 square feet for a field. This is because every technical document I have read states that this should be the minimum size for a field, which tends to work like a bathtub. The field offers less effluent treatment than trenches. To add to these two variances only 50'feet to the wetlands is proposed which again limits the amount of treatment available for the effluent before it reaches water. I intend to frjito work something out with the engineer, but this may come to the Board. My recommendation if it does will be to require aome pre-treatment of the effluent. Just wanted to let you know. Don't forget the rnbeting tomorrow at the Senior Center at 4:30 about the Comprehensive permit for the condos on Route 114. I'll see you there.

April 7, 2000 Sandra Starr, Administrator North Andover Health Department Town Hall Annex 27 Charles Street North Andover, MA 01845 Re: 146 Olympic Lane, North Andover, Septic system design Dear Sandra: Enclosed are five copies of a revised septic system design for the above referenced property. These plans are being submitted for approval. The revisions made are as follows: 1. The grade on the system end invert has been changed from 101.92 to 100.92. 2. The soil class has been changed from class I to class II 3. The labels for test pits 3 and 4 have been corrected. 4. The leach bed end section dimension leaders have been corrected. These drafting changes correct the minor deficiencies pointed out in the letter from Port Engineering. I would appreciate you reviewing these changes as soon as possible and granting approval of this plan so the installation of the system can begin. If you have any questions or need additional information please do not hesitate to contact this office. Sincerely, BenjA n C.

Title V review for 146 Olympic Lane Dear Sandra, I find that the design plans adequately address the regulations for an upgrade of a failed system. I do note the following minor drafting errors, o In the system profile, the invert of the end of the distribution lines is given as 101,92', but should be 100.92', u In the design data in the Lipper left of the plan, the soil class is listed as Class I and should be Class If. u In the plan view, Test Pits#3 and #4 are labeled in reverse (i.e. Test Pit shown on the plan view as#3 should in fact be#4 and visa versa), o In the Leach Bed End Section the 15' leader should extend to the ends of the leaching bed. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact me.

I understand that the March 23, 2000 meeting is approaching quickly, however I would appreciate any effort made to have the plans reviewed prior to that meeting so a decision could be made. The local variances needed are as follows: 1. Reduction in the offset distance between the leach field and the wetlands from 100 feet required by the North Andover Bylaw section 5.02 to 50 feet. 2. Reduction in the minimum leach field size from 900 square feet required by the North Andover Bylaw section 9.01(1) to 840 square feet. The local upgrades needed are as follows: 1. Reduction in the separation distance between the bottom of the stone in the leach field and the water table from 4 feet required by Title 5 section 1.5.212(a)to 3 feet. 2. Reduction in the offset distance between a foundation and the leach field from 20 feet required by Title 5 section 15.211(1)to 13 feet. 3.
