Re: Subsurface Sewage Disposal System Plan for 60 Deer Meadow Road, Map 104B,Lot

Dear Mr. Hochmuth:
The proposed wastewater system design plan for the above site dated September 11, 2017 and
received on September 13, 2017 has been reviewed. Unfortunately,the plan cannot be approved
until the following items are corrected. The specific section in Title 5: 310 CMR 15.000, or
North Andover regulation that is not met by this design follows each item,
1. The MassDEP approval for the brand and model tank being proposed(Sep-Tech by
Fralo, also known as a Roth Multi-Tank) indicates that>36" of cover is not allowed. You
may wish to seek a variance for this usage and if so it is suggested you provide
background reference material from the manufacturer
2. The Local Upgrade Approval request for>36" cover over the septic tank can only be
approved for tanks which have 11-20 loading. You may wish to modify the tank design to
provide such loading, change its cover material amount and retract the Local Upgrade
Approval request, or retract the LUA request and submit a Title 5 variance request
(15.405(1)(b))
3. Indicate that all piping must be Schedule 40 PVC (NA 3.2)
4. Show the full legal boundaries of the parcel (15.220(4)(a))
5. Show the distance from the SAS to wetlands (NA 3.2)
6. Building sewer piping needs to have watertight joints specified, to be laid on a compact
firm base and in a continuous grade (222(3)(4)(5)&(7))
7. Provide an estimated water table in the vicinity of the tank so items such as buoyancy and
the distance between pipe penetrations and water table can be examined

8. Tank details need to depict 3' air space above the tees, 9" above the flow line, tees
extending 6" above the flow line, inlet tee 10" below the flow line, outlet tee 14" below
the flow line and a gas baffle (or as may be altered in approval of poly tank being
proposed) (227(1)(4)&(6))
9. The design plan provides notes indicating an effluent filter is proposed inside the tank but
no brand and model is specified
10. Soil compaction and 6" of stone beneath the tank is required (or as may be altered in
approval of poly tank being proposed) (221(2))
11. The tank is to be noted as watertight(221(1))
12. The final distribution box needs to be notated to have all outlets at the same elevation
(232(3)(b))
13. Provide details and dimensions of distribution box inlet tees
14. All distribution boxes must have soil compaction and 6" of stone beneath them specified
and to be watertight (221(1)&(2))
15. Leaching pipes must have 3/8"-5/8" orifices specified(215(8))
16. The building sewer length is noted as three different dimensions on different sections of
the design plan
Please feel free to contact the office or Mill River Consulting at 978-282-0014 with any
questions you may have. We took forward to working with you to obtain a wastewater treatment
and dispersal system which will be in compliance with all regulations and assure protection of
public health and the environment of North Andover,
Sinceply,
