(3 10 CMR 15.247(2)) • The end of the perforated pipe of the galley is not specified as being capped. • There are no soil tests within the system boundaries. The statement that soils are typical across the entire site is not proven since only one acceptable test hole was excavated. Also, additional deep holes are required to determine the absence of construction debris. (3 10 CMR 15.102(2)). • Trenches are to be used whenever possible. Why are galleys proposed here? (3 10 CMR 15.240(6)) • Please explain why system is designed with groundwater at 203.33, since it was detennined to be around 201.34. Please feel free to call the Health office with any questions you may have. Sincerelf Sandra Starr, R.S. Health Achninistrator Cc.

Andover, MA. 01845 Re: ssds repair at 286 Summer St. Dear Ms.. Starr: We are in receipt of your letter dated March 10, 1999. In response to the issues raised in said letter, the system was designed as submitted for the following reasons: 1. Two (2" ) inches of stone was not specified above gallery. (310CMR 15.247 (2) ) states "to prevent intrusion of fine textured soils into the system" . It was our interpretation that the concrete top of the chamber prevents this intrusion and therefore stone is not required. 2. We will. change the plan to include a note that specifies "end of pipe to be capped" . 3. The system was moved up gradient from test pit 98-1 to meet break out requirements. The abandoned, as well as historical test pits done on 5/15/84 by Mike Rosati and Mike Graf, indicated uniformity of soil profile across the lot. Construction debris was observed in the pit @ approx. grade 206. The system was located below the existing tree line. The presence of these 40' tall pine trees indicated to us that this soil was deep and probably undisturbed. 4. Trenches were initially designed requiring retaining walls on both the driveway and Summer St. side of the system to meet break-out requirements. (310 CMR 15.102 (6) ) states " When trenches cannot be used because of area limitations, other soil absorption system configurations may be proposed for substitution. 5. Test pit 98-1 established E.S.H.W.T. @ 32" (see soil log) . Existing grade at the high point of the chamber is approximately 206 (see profile A-A and plan view) thus establishing the water table at the designed 203.33. Per our phone conversation we will await your further review and incorporate revisions that you require in light of this response. Should you have any further questions in the above matter, we are available at your convenience and can be reached by phone at, 978--373-0310. je Ph' G.` Christiansen, P.E. cc: Hoffman File 98051 Mar-09--99 09 : 138 Paul D. Turbide, PE/PLS 508 .465-0313 P .02 I March 9, 1999 Sandra Starr North Andover Board of Health Administrator Office of Community Development and Services 30 School St. North Andover, MA 01845 RE: Title V review for 236 Summer Street Dear Sandra, Enclosed find the"Checklist for North Andover Septic System Plans" for the above- mentioned site. The following is a list of all the `Problem' areas and deficiencies Port Engineering has found. 2" of 1/8"—'/V"double washed stone must be placed over the leaching galleys (247(2)), (This layer is shown by symbol on the"Profile" and"Profile A-A", but is not labeled). o The end of the perforated pipe of the galley should be capped. The following are items that must be checked during construction • The existing septic tank is to remain and be used. Either new pvc tees should be installed on the inlet and outlet side, or the existing baffles should be checked for structural integrity. Also a gas baffle is specified,which must be installed if it is not already part of the septic tank. • Construction debris was found within 1 S' of one end of the proposed leaching galley. The plan states that there probably is no debris under the proposed bed because of existing large pine trees. During construction, we should be taken that no construction debris exists under the leaching bed. The following are general observations about the proposed design: a The existing grade at the high end of the proposed leaching bed is at elevation 204'. If ESHW is assumed to be down 34" (as found in the test pit)then the elevation of ESHW at the high end of the system is 201.33'. The system design has ESHW at 203.33', Unless there are other circumstances not shown on the plan, I would suggest lowering the proposed elevation of the leaching bed by 2 feet. This will require less fill and be less expensive to build. Also, by lowering the system the PODTleaching bed can be moved closer to Summer Street, away from the buried construction debris and closer to the pert and deep tests. (Also, it is within the it I power of the Board of Health to grant a variance for groundwater separation from S' ENGINEERNG to 4',which would also lessen the amount of fill required.) s The design loading rate was based on Class H soils. The soils (loamy sand)are in fact Class I. Thus the loading rate is 0,74 gpd instead of 0.6 gpd. Thus the system Civil Engsnzere& could be made smaller_ Land Surveyors One Harris Street If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact me.
