7. When the System is used with a secondary treatment unit approved in accordance
with 310 CMR 15.284 or 15.288, additional reductions in soil absorption system
may be allowed. In these situations the reduction in the SAS cannot exceed the
maximum allowed under the secondary treatment units approval. In no instance

exceed the maximum reduction allowed for alternative systems approved in
accordance with 310 CMR 15.284,
11. Special Conditions
1. The System is an approved Alternative Chamber for use as an Alternative Soil
Absorption System. In addition to the Special Conditions contained in this
Approval, the System shall comply with the "Standard Conclitions for Alternative
SAS with General Use Certification curd/or.,Ipproved.for Renwdial Use" (the
Infiltrator Chamber,Infiltrator Water Technologies. Page 5 of 6
