P,tC 1R � k 4u Health Department Attn: Susan Sawyer North Andover, December 2, 2005 49 Equestrian Drive, North Andover, Septic System As-Builds Dear Mrs. Sawyer, This letter is to inform you that I have retained the services of Mr. Scott Giles to prepare the as-build drawings of the septic system located at 49 Equestrian Drive, North Andover. Sincerely W ried Welsch DelleChiaie, Pamela From: DelleChiaie, Pamela Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2005 10:43 AM To: Sawyer, Susan Subject: Lot 49 Equestrian Drive Hello Susan, Received a call from Scott Giles re: above. He wants to get a final COC from the Health Department. This project has been ongoing since 1999. In essence, the original engineer was Bill Dufresne, Merrimack Eng. He and h/o, Wilfried Welsch, had a falling out. Therefore, the plans did not get revised as they should have been. Scott Giles wants to fix what needs to be done: Bioclear Champer and Pump Chamber elevations need to be changed. Will you accept revised elevations from Scott Giles? Please call him at 978.683.2645. 1 advised Mr. Giles that the Health Department historically does not allow other engineers to pickup the original engineer's plan and revise it unless it is an extreme circumstance (engineer skips town; death, etc.) Giles thinks that is unreasonable, and would like to be able to do this. He also wants to work with Peter Murphy of 9 Laconia (Lot 14) to do his As Built, I believe he mentioned. However, Neve Morin was the design engineer. Unless I am somehow mistaken, I told him this would be an issue as well. Will you please review the file and let me know how I should tell him to proceed? I will bring it in shortly. If he absolutely cannot do the revisions, I will call him for you if you want.

Applicant: Wilfried Welsch Dear Board Members: Regarding the subject project and in behalf of the owner and applicant, we hereby request a Variance to the Town of North Andover Board of Health Minimum Requirements for the Subsurface Disposal of Sanitary Sewage. Specifically we request a Variance to Regulation 5.02 "Distances" so that a leaching facility may be constructed 57 feet distant from a wetland edge as opposed to 100 feet as required. The proposed construction is to be in accordance with the plan of subsurface disposal system prepared for the subject site by Merrimack Engineering Services dated July 5, 1999 and as revised pending Board of Health review.

The following is a list of all the 'Problem' areas and deficiencies Port Engineering has found. :310 CMR 247(2) states that a minimum of 2" Of 1/8 to '/2inch stone is to be placed on the top ofthe leaching bed. The plan design calls for a layer of filter fabric to be laid oil top this stone. There is no regulation that I could find that allows filter fabric to be laid over the peastone, and therefore I Would recommend that the filter fabric be removed from the design. u Buoyancy calculations are necessary for the purnp chamber, as it appears that the bottom of the chamber will be in groundwater, 310 CMR 221(8) As per note 9, this design requires a waiver of local regulation NA 5.02 that states that a leaching bed must be 100' from wetlands. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact Me. Sincerely Carlton A.
