RE: Lot I I Boston Street (Map 107D, Lot 6)N. Andover, MA.
DATE: September 26, 2007
The pump chamber and distribution box for the referenced site were reinspected on
September 26, 2007 in accordance with the results of the inspection conducted on
September 12, 2007 with Michelle of the North Andover Health Department. The
following were observed:
I. The pump on float was lower to an elevation difference of 7"to the pump off
float, consistent with the approved plans;
2. Speed levelers have been installed in the distribution box.
This office was advised by the installer (Charles Todd) that the Town's consultant did
recommend against speed levelers for the pumped system on Lot 12 Gray Street. If the

Re: Lots 11
Boston Street
Dear Ms. Sawyer:
I am in receipt of your March 11, 2005 review letter for lot 11, Boston Street. In
response, I offer the following:
1. The supplemental soil test data had been revised to reflect an ESHGW of 32",
although I do not agree with it. I am not in agreement with the town
consultant's assessment of the soil in the test pits as being sandy loam. Since
�. 2002, I have personally conducted dozens of test pits and pert tests on the 14
proposed lots. The previous consultant, John Noonan, and I agreed that all 14
lots contained loamy sand as the C layer soils. Sandy Starr, the previous
Health Agent, even witnessed some of the test pits and called the material a
loamy sand. The 2002 soil tests on this, and abutting lots, calls the parent
material a loamy sand. I showed Andy the previous testing for this lot, and
stated that it was a loamy sand, and that the new testing confirmed that. He
gave me no indication in the filed that he was changing the soil texture.
Otherwise, I would have expressed my disagreement on the day of the testing.
Therefore, based on the opinions of three soil evaluators, John Noonan, Sandy
Starr and myself, I feel that the textural class is loamy sand. If the Town
wishes to pursue this matter further, perhaps a soil sample could be sent out
for a textural analysis.
1 As mentioned above, the soils on the entire parcel are consistently a loamy
sand. Some areas have more gravel and cobbles, but the parent material is the
same.
The name of the witness has been revised per your comment.
4. The plan revision date has been added to both sheets.
5. The names of abutters, based on assessor's records, have been completed. Any
lots that are part of the subdivision are simply listed by lot numbers.
6. The lot number has been added to sheet 2 of 2. As stated in previous letters,
lot addresses will not be issued until the assessor has received a copy of the
subdivision plan and revised his maps.
7. As stated above,the soil texture throughout all 14 lots is consistently a loamy
sand.
8. Although I do not agree with the ESHGW, the plans have been revised to
show a 32" water-elevation.
9. Elevations have been added to the proposed driveway.
10. The stockpile area.is now shown to the side of the system.
11. Distances have been added to the plan per your comment.
12. The height of the spike has been added to the plan.
13. Existing contours have been more fully labeled.
14. Additional grades have been shown at the soil absorption area.
15. An access manhole has been added to the pump chamber.
16. A pump curve has been added to the plans.
17. 24 hour emergency has been shown in the pump chamber.
18. Dimensions have been shown for the minimum and maximum-cover over the
distribution box and leaching area.
19. Additional spot grades have been shown to shed water away from the
dwelling.
20. The basement is at elevation 201 feet, which fits with the proposed
topography.
21. A copy of the wetlands approval has been attached to this letter.
22. An additional dimension has been added to demonstrate the separation
between trenches.
23. The detail has been revised to show a 14"tee.
24. The number of Infiltrators in each trench has been specified.
Should you have any.question concerning this letter, please contact me.

Subject: Plan reviews, Boston Street
Sue and Pam,
We have completed plan reviews for Lots 161 1)rr"grades 12 Boston Street. Some problems are minor, some major
(starting with the illegibility of the existing conte —sort of makes reading the plan a bit tricky wouldn't you
think?)
Also, we are not sure what to do with Lots 14 & 15. Should we do a full plan review or just consult with you
regarding the adequacy of the existing soil and percolation tests? Please call when you get a chance.

item is followed by the specific section in Title 5: 310 CMR 15.000, or North Andover
regulations which is not met by this design.
1. The soil test data for Supplemental Soil Data is not consistent with the BOH records.
The"C-Horizon"of test pit 10-05-03 should be a very gravelly Sandy Loam. Test pit
10-05-04 should show a very cobbly Sandy Loam and an ESHGW of 32".
2. The northern portion of the soil absorption system is not located near any test pits,
and will require an additional deep hole and, if soils are markedly different, an
additional percolation test.
Lk The name of the witness for the supplemental soil data should be corrected to Andrew
McBrearty, Mill River Consulting, Inc. —220(4)(h) & (i).
4! Please provide an appropriate plan revision date. The plan revision date is 11/8/04,

tests.
