The following is a list of all the `Problem' areas and deficiencies Port Engineering has found. ❑ Abutters must be shown. NA 8.02j o The ends of the distribution lines must be connected with solid pipe. NA 15.01 ® 310 CMR 247(2) states that a minimum of 2" of 1/8 to t/z inch stone is to be placed on the top of the leaching bed. The plan design calls for a layer of untreated building paper to be laid on top this stone. There is no regulation that i could find that allows untreated building paper to be laid over the peastone, and therefore I would recommend that the untreated building paper be removed from the design. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact me. Sincerely Carlton A.
