The property passed a Final Construction Inspection on July 13, 2004, and according to our consultant is ready to be covered. This letter does not guarantee approval of a Final Grade Inspection by the North Andover Public Health Director. In addition, a Certificate of Compliance from the Health Department will not be issued until we receive the following paperwork: Septic System As Built and Installation Certification forms (signed by installer and Engineer). I hope that this information is enough to release the escrow monies that you are requesting from the homeowner. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions.

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. 3. The impermeable barrier specified on the design plan is may cause interference with ground water during the periods of high water table. You are encouraged to discuss this with your septic system design and submit a revised plan for consideration should it be deemed desired. Your effort to provide a properly functioning septic system for your dwelling is greatly appreciated. The Health Department may be reached at 978-688-9540 with any questions you might have.

Unfortunately, the plans cannot be approved as submitted. The following items are in need of attention prior to approval: I. Please provide the location and elevation of the foundation drain. If there is no drain,please make a statement to that effect on the plan. (NA 8.02y) 2. The septic tank detail does not depict that the inlet and outlet tees are to be located underneath an access port. This is important for maintenance purposes and should be clearly shown. (3 10 CMR 15.227) 3. Please indicate that removal of soil horizons fill, A&B shall extend at least 611 into the suitable soil of the C horizon. (NA 9.02) 4. Soil evaluation reports on the design plan and on the Form 11 submitted do not coincide regarding the depth of the estimated seasonal high ground water. 5. Please list the specific section of the North Andover Board of Health Regulations for which the listed variance is being sought. 6. Setback standards from the septic tank, pump chamber and soil absorption system to the wetland resource area are not provided in compliance with the North Andover Board of Health Regulations. 7. The design includes a Local Upgrade Approval request to reduce the separation from the bottom of the soil absorption system to the estimated seasonal high ground water from the required 4' to 3'. Several sections of Title 5 do not allow this request to be granted including 310 CUR 15.401 and 404(1) which indicate that whenever feasible a design should maintain full compliance with the standards in the regulations. First, Title 5 requires an upgraded system to be utilized which is in full compliance with the code, including the possible use of an approved treatment unit allowed for remedial use situations. If specified in this instance, full compliance with the regulations could likely be maintained. Additionally, the Application for Local Upgrade Approval indicates the reason this is not specified is for cost purposes. However, with the savings associated with reduction in leach trench size or in the depth to ground water separation(and coupled with the existing need for utilizing a pump and pump chamber system),the cost difference is likely not significant. Second,Local Upgrade Approvals are to be implemented in a particular order of selection with criteria based upon risk to public health, safety and the environment. Using those standards,there exist other Local Upgrade Approvals which can and should be utilized prior to the one selected. (3 10 CMR 15.404 &405) While not a reason for disapproval,you may wish to consider the following items: 1. The pump specified will produce a flow of over 100 gallons per minute to the distribution box. You may be able to reduce construction and operation expenses and reduce flow volumes with a different pump. 2. The system profile indicates removal of soil and replacement with sand to what appears to be a depth greater than required. You may wish to review this and possibly amend the detail to provide greater clarity to the Disposal System Installer. 3. The soil absorption layout currently requires the removal of the walkway to the dwelling. It may be possible to reorient the leach trenches(and perhaps utilize a small retaining wall)to eliminate disturbance to the walkway. 4. Please review the bottom elevation of the impervious barrier indicated on the design plan. It appears to intercept the ground water table and may lead to entrapment of groundwater or wastewater. 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 environment of North Andover.
