INSPECTION SUMMARY: Check A, A C, or D:
A. SYSTEM PASSES:
1 have not found any information which indicates that any of the failure conditions described in 3101 CMR 15,303 exist. Any failure
criteria not evaluated are indicated below.
COMMENTS:
B. SYSTEM CONDITIONALLY PASSES:
e � One or more system components as described in the "Conditional Pass" section need to be replaced or repaired. The systern, upon
completion of the replacement or repair, as approved by the Board of Health,will pass.
Indicate yes, no, or not determined (Y, N, or NO). Describe basis of determination in all instances. If "not determined", explain why not.
The septic tank is metal, unless the owner or operator has provided the system inspector with a copy of a Certificate of
Compliance(attached) indicating that the tank was Installed within twenty(201)years prior to the date of the inspection; or
the septic tank, whether or not metal, Is cracked, structurally unsound, shows substantial infiltration or exfiltration, or tank
failure is Imminent. The system will pass inspection if the existing septic tank is replaced with a complying septic tank as
approved by the Board of Health.
Sewage backup or breakout or high static water level observed in the distribution box is due to broken or obstructed pipe(s)
or due to a broken, settled or uneven distribution box. The system will pass inspection if(with approval of the Board of
Health),
broken pipes) are replaced
obstruction is removed
distribution box is levelled or replaced
The system required pumping more then four times a year due to broken or obstructed pipe(s). The systern will pass
inspection if(with approval of the Board of Health):
broken pipe(s) are replaced
obstruction is removed

C. 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 the
public health, safety and the environment.
1) SYSTEM WILL PASS UNLESS BOARD OF HEALTH DETERMINES IN ACCORDANCE WITH 310 CMR 15.303 111(b)THAT THE SYSTEM
IS NOT FUNCTIONING IN A MANNER WHICH WILL PROTECT THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT:
Cesspool or privy is within 50 feet of 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 LAND PUBLIC WATER SUPPLIER,IF ANY)DETERMINES THAT THE SYSTEM IS
FUNCTIONING IN A MANNER THAT PROTECTS THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY AND THE 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 soil absorption system and the SAS is within a Zone I of a public water supply well,
The system has a septic tank and soil absorption system and the SAS is within 50 feet of a private water supply well,
The system has a septic tank and soil absorption system and the SAS is less than 100 feet but 50 feet or more from a
private water supply well, unless a well water analysis 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, Method used to determine distance (approximation not valid).

D. SYSTEM FAILS:
You must indicate eltilYr Yes" or "No" to each of the following:
I have determined that one or more of the following failure conditions exist as described in 310 CMR 15.303. The basis for this
determination is identified below. The Board of Health should be contacted to determine what will be necessary to correct the failure.
Yes No
Backup of sewage into facility,or system component due to an overloaded orclogged SAS or cesspool.
Discharge or ponding of effluent to the surface of the ground or surface waters due to an overloaded or clogged SAS or
cesspool.
Static liquid level in the distribution box above outlet invert due to an overloaded or clogged SAS or cesspool.
Liquid depth in cesspool is les"s than 6" below invert or available volum8 is lens than 1t2 day flow.
_ Required pumping more than 4 times in the last year NOT due to clogged or obstructed pipels).
Number of times pumped
Any portion of the Soil Absorption System, cesspool or privy is below the high groundwater elevation.
_ Any portion of a cesspool or privy is within 100 feet of a surface water supply or tributary to a surface water supply.
Any portion of a cesspool or privy is within a Zone I of a public well.
Any portion of a cesspool or privy is within 50 feet of a private water supply well.
_ Any portion of a cesspool or privy is less-than 100 feet but greater than 50 feet from a private water supply well with no
acceptable water quality analysis, if the well has been analyzed to be acceptable, attach copy of well water analysis for
coliform bacteria, volatile organic compounds, ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen.
E. LARGE SYSTEM FAILS:
You must indicate either "Yes or No" to each of the following:
The following criteria apply to large systems in addition to the criteria above:
The system serves a facility with a design flow of 10,000 gpd or greater(Large System) and the system is a significant threat to public
health and safety and the environment because one or more of the following conditions exist:
Yes No, .
_ the system is within 400 feetof a surface drinking water'supply
the system Is within 200 feet of a tributary to a surface drinking water supply
the system is located in a nitrogen sensitive area (Interim Wellhead Protection Area-IWPA) or a mapped Zone It of a public
water supply well)
The owner or operator of any such system shall upgrade the system in accordance with 310 CMR 15.304(2). Please consult the local regional
office of the Department for further information.

Check if the following have been done: You must indicate either "Yes" or "No" as to each of the following:
Yes No
I,,," � Pumping information was provided by the owner, occupant, or Board of Health.
_ None of the system components have been pumped for at least two weeks and the system has been receiving normal flow
rates during that period. Large volumes of water have not been introduced into the system recently or as part of this
inspection,
As built plans have been obtained and examined. Note if they are not available with N/A.
The facility or dwelling was Inspected for signs of seWage,back-up, x
— 1, �
The system does not receive non-sanitary or industrial waste flow.
rT The she was inspected for signs of breakout.
_ All system components, excluding the Soil Absorption System, have been located on the site.
r~' _ The septic tank manholes were uncovered, opened, and the Interior of the septic tank was inspected for condition of baffles
or tees, material of construction, dimensions,depth of liquid,depth of sludge, depth of scum,
The size and location of the Soil Absorption System on the site has been determined based on:
�= Existing information. For example, Plan at B.O.H.
_ Determined in the field (if any of the failure criteria related to Part C is at issue, approximation of distance is unacceptable)
(15.302(3)(b))
_ The facility owner (and occupants,if different from owner) were provided with information on the proper maintenance-of'
SubSurface Disposal Systems.
