Further Evaluation is Required by the Board of Health: Conditions exist which require further evaluation by the Board of Health in order to determine if the system is failing to protect public health,safety or the environment. 1. System will pass unless Board of Health determines in accordance with 310 CMR 15.303(1)(b)that the system is not functioning in a manner which will protect public health,safety and the environment: Cesspool or privy is within 50 feet of a surface water Cesspool or privy is within 50 feet of a bordering'vegetated wetland or a salt marsh 2. System will fail unless the Board of Health(and Public Water Supplier,if any)determines that the system is functioning in a manner that protects the public health,safety and environment: The system has a septic tank and soil absorption system(SAS)and the SAS is within 100 feet of a surface water supply or tributary to a surface water supply. The system has a septic tank and SAS and the SAS is within a Zone 1 of a public water supply. The system has a septic tank and SAS and the SAS is within 50 feet of a private water supply well. _ The system has a septic tank and SAS and the SAS is less than 100 feet but 50 feet or more from a private water supply well**.Method used to determine distance____ **This system passes if the well water analysis,performed at a DEP certified laboratory,for coliform bacteria and volatile organic compounds indicates that the well is free from pollution from that facility and the presence of ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen is equal to or less than 5 ppm,provided that no other failure criteria are triggered.A copy of the analysis must be attached to this form. 3.
