Issued under the provisions set forth in the State Environmental Code,Title 5 (310 CMR 15.000)
and the North Andover Board of Health Regulations-Minimum Requirements for the Design,
Construction and Maintenance of Onsite Wastewater Treatment Disposal Systems.

RE: Application for Disposal Works Installers License
Robert Daigle:
The North Andover Health Department has received your Application for Disposal Works
Installers License for the upcoming 201.8 season. The North Andover Health Department has
DENIED your application in accordance with 310 CMR 15.019 and Section 7.5.1 of the North
Andover Board. of Health - Minimum Requirements for the Design, Construction and
Maintenance of Onsite Wastewater Treatment Disposal Systems. During the 2017 septic
installation season,the Health Department encountered several issues on septic system disposal
works installation projects that you pulled permits for and were responsible for. The Health
Department had the following issues on the projects listed below:
1024 Turnpike Street: This project involved an emergency distribution box (d-box)
replacement, removing roots from the system lines and removal of several trees to eliminate the
invasive root source.
1. On Friday June 30,2017 at 11:30 am,you called the Health Department for an Emergency d-
box repair. Our office closes at 12:00 pm on Fridays and you were not able to make it down
prior to the close of business to pull the permit and pay the fee before the weekend. You
were granted a verbal approval to complete the repair over the weekend based on the
stipulation that you would submit the permit application and fee on the next business day.
The Health. Department had to request its submittal the following week and the permit
application and associated fee were not submitted until the week after that on Monday,
July 10,2017.

2. The inspection.at 1024 Turnpike Street also revealed the installation of a polyethylene d-box
which is in violation of the North Andover Board of Health Regulations which requires an
EI-20 Concrete d-box. The d-box needed to be removed., replaced and re-inspected by
department staff-.
325 Boston Street: This project involved the installation of an additional leaching trench to an
existing system to increase the gallons per day capacity of the dwelling.
1. The bottom of bed excavation for the trench was left open for an extended period of time
without being marked off. The excavation was open for approximately 10 days which is
not standard practice arid is an unsafe condition in a residential yard.
2. During construction of the leaching trench, a required sand inspection was not requested
and the sand was iristalled without inspection or approval. In accordance with the Septic
System Installer Project Management Obligations form that you signed and submitted with
the permit application,item 5a requires the inspection of the sand that is going to be used.
3. During construction, an effluent leak from the d-box was discovered by the homeowner
and brought to our attention. It was clearly evident upon inspection that effluent was
leaking out of the d-box and flowing down the pipe channel. As the installer, you should
have brought this to our attention immediately and you would have received the necessary
approvals to replace the component. 'I'he Health Department had to request a d-box
replacement.
4. The Health Depart-merit has not received an Installation Certification Form (Certificate of
Compliance) signed by you in accordance with. section 5.2 of the North Andover Board of
Health Regulations. This form is required to be submitted within 30 days of completion of
the final inspection. As discussed during our phone conversation, the Health Department
is responsible for regulatory compliance and construction inspections. The health
Department does not get involved with client/contractor Ltractor financial issues or disagreements.
The department had to go above and. beyond to obtain the As-built plans and an
Installation Certification signed by the engineer directly from the engineer because the first
set of As-builts and dually signed Iristallation Certification were never delivered. The
Health. Department as the inspecting authority and in conjunction with the engineer,
determined that the system was constructed in accordance with the design plans and a
Certificate of Compliance was issued.
In reviewhag the issues encountered in 2017,the Health Department has denied your 2018,
Application for Disposal Works Installers License. You have the right to request a hearing
before the Board of Health if you feel this denial should be modified or withdrawn. A request
for said hearing must be made in writing and received by the Health Department within seven
(7) days from receipt of this denial. At said hear you.will be given
in,,g an opportunity to be
heard and to present to the Board of Health as to why this denial should be modified or
withdrawn. If you have any questions,,comments or concerns,please feel free to call the Health
Department between the hours of 8:00-4:30 on Monday,Wednesday and Thursday, 8:00-6:00 on
Tuesday and 8:00-12:00 on Friday. Any questions regarding this matter can be answered
through the North Andover Health Department.

Andrew Maylor
Town Manager
Town of North Andover
120 Main Street
North Andover,MA 01845
Dear Mr. Maylor:
My husband and I recently completed finishing the third floor of our home in North Andover. As part of that effort,we
were required to expand our septic system. Our contractor contacted the engineer who designed our original system,
Chrristiansen&Sergi., and they designed the expansion. They irr turn recommended.Rol)Daigle to do the installation of the
system expansion, We had a number of difficulties with Rob Daigle's work acrd wanted to bring it to the attention of the
Town,as he is one of the companies certified to work in North Andover.
The first issue is one of timeliness. We received an estimate for the work on March 8, 2017. The contract was signed oil
March 20`h and we paid a deposit of$4000 to Rob Dangle on April 21, 2017. We received a Dig Safe authorization to begin
work on May 1, 2017. Rol)estimated that work would tape 3 days. He confirmed that to me and to my contractor,Mike
Koulheras. Rol)did not begin the work until July,despite calls frorn me in May and June. 1 contacted him on July 10"to
ask when he would begirt the work because all of the interior work.was complete,but we couldn't use it because the final
inspection couldn't be done until the septic line was complete. He began work on July 13/14. He excavated and left it open
for several days.By July 25', the sand and chambers had been installed. There was a sewage smell and what appeared to be
a leak along the older pipe leading to the original septic system. The excavation remained open until Aug-List.1",when the
surveyor carne to complete the as-built survey. At that time,it was determined by the Town of North Andover inspector,
Michelle Grant, that the distribution box needed to be replaced. Rob carne to replace it on August 5". The excavation was
covered up and work was essentially complete as of August 18". A project that was supposed to take 3 days and be complete
in May took over 30 days once it was begun 2 months late. The final inspection was signed on August 23"and we could
finally use the space that had been ready since July 10,
The next issue is one of the duality of his work. The contract he signed with us states that all of the work will be completed
in a workmarifike manner according to standard practices. Some things that concerned me were the following, When he
was ready to begin the excavation,the Dig Safe ticket had expired and they had riot marked the electrical and cable litres on
our property,which is standard practice,but:we,being from VA,were not aware of that. lie proposed performing the
excavation anyway without knowing definitively where the Innes were. We declined that offer,asked Dig Safe to reopen our
ticket and got:a private company to mark the line on our property. He didn't call for an inspection of the bottom of the
trench or of the sand once it had been delivered. When I called and asked him about the leak along the pipe,lie told me it
was normal and nothing to be concerned with. Michelle Grant informed nae that the leak.was not normal or acceptable grid
that the distribution box was crumbling and needed to be replaced.Also,the pipes coming out of the distribution box were:
not sealed. He disagreed with Michelle that the distribution box needed to be replaced and carne to replace it on a Saturday
when the Inspector wasn't available. All the inspections were completed clue to the exceptional effort made by Michelle
Grant and Brian LaGrasse who continually monitored the progress of our project and took the tirrre to respond to any
l
questions that I had throughout the project. Additionally,he kept a number of pieces of large construction equipment in
al ,`fir����h,m s x,t�„m x�rc�''N�;a*� f" � r� .'± r� r���e�v� ,✓�+� ��rY'Pw, t ,,,�"r�'1'�'
our front yard fronn the beginning of,July through mid-August. Aside from being unsightly,itis also unsafe.,because itis air
attractive nuisance.
Lastly,his estimate was not accurate and did riot disclose a number of costs. Itis original estimate was for$6000-$8000. 1
spoke to Phil Christiansen and my contractor,Mike Koulheraas,who both agreed that$6000 was reasonable and $8000
would be the high end for the work required. The$2000 variance was to cover the cost of sand.There was also a$600
allowance for loam. He stated that he would provide the quantity lie had to purchase to confirm the;actual cost of the
project. He did riot provide any documentation for the quantity and when asked for it,said, "I'm not giving you that." He
added$1000 to the project cost for removing fill. Again,he provided no documentation or warning that we would incur an
additional fec. He told the at the start of the job that he would riot require payment until die end of the job,but asked
several tames for checks. I paid him $2400 once the work was substantially complete and lie had replaced the distribution
box. He did not clarify that the costs of staking and surveying were separate and that he apparently had an agreement with j
Christiansen and Sergi to perform the work. We do not have a contract for work with drern, but have received two bills
from them - one for$350 and one for$667.50 -which were completely hidden costs that I didn't have the opportunity to
shop around for a better price. He offered to connect us with a person he knew who could mark the utility lines on our
property and quoted me a price of$700. 1 called.Dig Safe,got the,name of the company that they use and they were able to
come mark it that day for$50. When I asked him for a cost to replace the distribution box,which was completely excavate
and exposed,he quoted rrre$1000. Since distribution boxes cost$100 and the work was minimal,I told hirn I would get
someone else to do it.Their he dropped his price to $400. It took hire less than an hour to install it. When I got the final
bill,it was elated August 23, 2017, We had a Net 30 contract and I planned to pay the balance of$3000 on September 23,
2017. lie carne to my house to ask for a cheek on September 16"'.1 told him that I would pay him on the 23`°, due to all of
his delays mid our contract terms. Iie said he would split the difference with me if he could get a check that day for$1500,
so I did'pay him that amount, Prior to that adjustment, total actual cost for the project was $10,467.50. If I had accepted
Rob's costs at face value for the electrical marking and the distribution box,it would have cost$11,717 - almost double his
original estimate.
My last issue with him was one of his attitude. Ile is not a good communicator. He was angry and unfriendly on the phone
when I was pressing frim to start the work. Ile was very defensive when asked about any issues. Ile said disparaging things
about the Town of North Andover inspectors in general and Michelle Grant in particular. Ile was riot truthful when asked.
about the leak/sewage smell.
I appreciate your consideration of the above issues. Please let me know if you have any questions.

To Whom It May Concern;
Bob Daigle was hired by Beechwood Properties,40-60 Beechwood Drive,North

a water runoff swale at 1755 Osgood Street. As the property manager for these properties
I worked with Bob on both projects. From beginning to completion Bob provided me

Re: Owner AIMCO
Property: Royal.Crest Apartments,known and numbered as 1 Royal
Crest Drive and 28 Royal Crest Drive,No. Andover,MA
Dear Suzanne:
Thank you again for arranging last Thursday's meeting between my client's team and
yourself,Mr. Maylor and Mr. I-foury. I believe it was very productive and puts Aimco
and the Town on a path towards addressing their respective concerns cooperatively.
As we discussed at our meeting this letter will confirm that,
1.) the North Andover Board of Health hearing scheduled for March 22, 2018
pursuant to 105 CMR 410.850 will be postponed and rescheduled if necessary
to allow Aimco and the Town to further explore a cooperative resolution of
the issues under appear and
2.) the Town's weekly, scheduled inspections at Royal Crest will be suspended
to allow Aimco and the Town to further explore a cooperative resolution of
the concerns that prompted these inspections. Any inspections required of
the Board of Health under 105 CMR 410.820 or other applicable law are, of
course,not subject hereto.
As you know,the Town's Building Inspector,Mr. Belanger, also issued a violation letter
dated March 6,2018, subject to a 45-day appeal period. It is requested that the Town and
Mr. Belanger consider temporarily revoking that notice without prejudice, also to allow
Aimco and the Town to explore cooperative resolution of those issues.

Re: Royal Crest Apartments

Board of Health Appeal
Dear Don,
Thank you for your letter of today,March 19,2018. 1 would like to clarify the Town's
understanding of the agreement reached between your client,AIMCO, and the Town at last
Thursday's meeting. I agree that the meeting put the parties on a path toward addressing the
concerns surrounding the property. However,it was the Town's understanding that the Board of
Health matter will be stayed and the weekly inspections will be suspended on the following
conditions:
1; The Town will provide AIMCO with a list of the significant violations discovered during
the inspections;
i
2. The:Parties will meet to establish apriority list of the most significant violations and to t
f
establish a time table by which the violations will be remedied. AIMCO will make the necessary
repairs in all buildings within the complex,including those that have not yet been inspected.
The non-compliant conditions will be resolved in order of the health and safety risk posed by the j
violations;and,
1
3. AIMCO will obtain the proper permits for the work,to be performed. The parties agree
that the work will be inspected by the Town inspectional services officials.
With regard to the Building Inspector's violation letter of March 6,2018,the Town
cat-mot agree to revolve the letter without prejudice. However,the Town will agree to wrap the
building;code violations into the schedule of repairs to be done throughout the complex and in
consideration agree to stay the appeal period.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation and your client's attention to these important issues
is appreciated.
Very truly yours,
Suzanne P. Egan

because the marijuana must first pass through the stomach and reefer, grass,herb, ganja,and Mary Jane. Devices used to
then be absorbed into the bloodstream. Consequently, many people ingest it include bowls(glass pipes), bongs (water pipes),
accidentally ingest much more than they intend to when they eat bubblers (a bong/bowl combo), vaporizers, electronic
marijuana. Itis impossible to overdose on marijuana, but
consuming too much can cause people to have panic attacks or cigarettes,joints(hand-rolled marijuana cigarettes),and
become extremely paranoid, blunts (marijuana rolled in cigar wraps). It also can be
applied topically in lotions or oils, but usually for medical use.
