The following variances were granted by a vote of the Board. Allow the reduction in the offset distance between the bottom of the soil absorption system and the water table from the 5 feet required by Title section 15.212 to 4 feet. With the granting of this variance, the plans dated August 1), 1999 are approved. Please feel free to call the Health Department at 978-688-9540 if you have any questions concerning this action.

The following is a Iist of all the `Problem' areas and deficiencies Port Engineering has found. u ESHW was determined to be 90" below ground. Based on the two-foot contours on the design plan, it is presumed that the high point of the existing grade over the proposed system is 101.3' and therefore the ESHW under this point would be 93.8'. The bottom of bed is proposed to be 96.83', which would only give a 3' separation (the applicant is requesting a local waiver from the required 5' separation, to be allowed to have only a 4' separation.). Thus it appears that the leaching bed must be raised by one foot. The presumption is that the high point of the existing grade over the proposed system is 101.3'. This is based on the presumption that a line connecting two adjacent contour lines will trace a uniform slope on the surface of the ground. Thus a point half way between contour 100' and contour 102' is presumed to have an elevation of 101'. In fact,the elevation of a point between these two contours could be any value between 100' and 102'. The presumption can be overturned if the spot elevation over the actual high point is determined on the ground, and this spot elevation results in the ESHW being three feet below the proposed bottom of field. Therefore, it is my opinion that the system must be raised by one foot unless it can be shown that the highest existing grade over the proposed leaching field is at elevation 100.3, and not the presumed 101.3' At r"RT If you have any questions or comments please feel Free to contact me.

As you are aware, our jurisdictions and requirements are quite different and our departments are independent of one another. In response to the letter, I offer the following: ➢ A Notice of Intent was filed with the North Andover Conservation Commission (NACC) on October 22, 1999 for the repair of a septic system within the Buffer Zone to a Bordering Vegetated Wetland (BVW)• ➢ An initial public hearing was opened on November 3, 1999 and was continued to the November 17, 1999 agenda due to revised plans being submitted the day of the meeting and the applicant is awaiting a determination from National Heritage and Endangered Species Program because the proposed work is being conducted within the estimated habitat of a rare species. National Heritage has 30 days to respond to the Notice of Intent and to make a determination if the proposed project will negatively impact the species and/or its habitat. ➢ We have not received a response from National Heritage as of today, but their 30 day time frame has not expired, so they still have time. ➢ When we close the public hearing, the NACC has 21 days to issue a decision (Order of Conditions). There is a 10 business day appeal period thereafter. To conclude, the applicant will not have a valid permit(Order of Conditions) by November 15, 1999 to perform the above referenced work. I am unaware of the repair constituting an emergency per the Board of Health. Should you require any additional information, please contact me at x530. Thank you. • Page 1 FROM SOUCY'S SEWER SERU I CE INC* PHONE NO. Nov. 10 1999 12:OOPM P1 C11 oil. 'rowcz of North Anclover.
