Miss Mary A. Sheridan,
Office of Board of Health,
North Andover, Massachusetts.
Dear Miss Sheridan:
I enclose herewith a tentative form of letter
for the Board of Health to write to Stanley Stefanowicz,
concerning the two septic tank installations on his prop-
erty, north of Great Pond Road.
As I suggested to you, when this letter goes
forward to Mr. Stefenowicz, you should be able to have
for your files some evidence that he actually received it,
even if it means your sending for him to come to your office,
so that you may hand it to him personally.
Ri c10 sure.
AHS/S
'k','r. , Stanley Stefanowic-z,
1159 Osgood Street,
North Andover, I-Fiassachusetts.
Dear Sir:
On November 3, 1.955, your attorney, Edward F. Cregg, Esq., communicated
with this Board, relative to your application for building permits for houses
which you planned to erect on two lots of land situated on the northerly side of
Great Pond Road.
From an examination of our records, it appears that certain permits
were issued to you for the installation of private sewage disposal systems upon
each of these lots sonle time ago; we understand that you have installed such
systems in conformity with those permits.
In view of this fact, this Bbard voted not to oppose your present appli—
cation for building permits at this location, and you may so inform the Building
Inspector.
However, this action of the B -Pard is based upon the facts above recited,
and is not to be taken by you as any indication that the Board will approve future
applications which you may make for permission to erect structures or install sewage
facilities at other locations on your land. The Board expressly reserves its right
to consider each such application by you or your successors in title upon its own
facts, and to refuse its permission for any such future structures or installations,
if in its opinion the public water supply of the town of North Andover might be
endangered thereby.
Moreover, you are not to interpret the action taken by the Board upon your
presently pending application as indicating the position which it may finally take,
upon whether or not any further subdivision by you of your land lying to the north
of Great Pond Road will fall within the provisions of the Subdivision Control Law
of the Commonwealth.
(#2. ) I
Your attention is specirically directed to those provisions, as well
as to the rules and regulations adopted by this Board, relative to building
permits and to sewage disposal permits.
Very truly yours,
SOPtc_mbor 30, 1953.

Dear Dr. Kay:
I feel that I should.report to you as to What I have
been doing with,reference to.the prpplem. of the Stanleyville Develop
ment.
I 'assume,trom what you and I have -talked aboutin the,
p t that your 13-aard feels that a definite publie health problem
as
would result from the continued development of the.Stanleyville area..
ue
and that-it-wOuld 1jile 'to have some:kind of'veto power over, s h further
corkstruction.
r3nk3T,. 1 1. do. not gather from the, letter to �ouof Weston &
E,;amppon.. that a dan - of contamination of the lake mould necessarily
result from any construction in the Stanleyville-area; but your Board
alified thaft I to pa ss upon the subject of that letter.
is better qu,
The n�w �ubdivision Control Law -which is now in force in
North Andover-provide's' tfiat no building permit5�. can, be issued until the
Planning Bo'ard-approve , s a'subdivision plan in the.area,ir, question.
It further.provides that no such planning board approv�l
will be- given,'unless the'local 'Board of Health has had an opportunity
to confer `vrlth thr, P.Lvu-dng Botald, and to raise objections to theproposed
development.
I have written to the Planning board and to the Board of
Selectmen, calling their attentiot to this law., a.nd to my contention
that the Stanleyville'area is a -"subdivision" within the meaning of'
the legisl . ation. I have not as yet heard from,either of these Boards
in reply-tO my letters, copies of which 1 enclose herewith, but,, as soon

as I do hear, I shall let you know their decision..
Lam in hopes that -both ofthe Boards will go along with.my, . I
the
reqi4est- that any future subdivision plan of/Ptanler�ill'e area be.cleared
with your Board in the first instance.
'I cannot emphasize too strongly, howeveri-that you and your
f�-Ilowmembers.of the Board of Health should be ver7 clear that the con.
Strdction%o'f.pr-jvate se,�age systems in the S anleyville- areawould be 'a
very definite -menace to the town s, maier supply.
Anything which you might do,to prevent cc�nstruction by
Stefansky- or bis purchasers, Which might be. considered,arbitrary or
unreasonable, ivpl2ld be md st in—advised.
Ithiln% your Board should at an early,date determine its
policy with. respect to futuie construction in this area, and formulate
rules as.-to'fts requirements in the,matter of Construction and maintenance
of sewage,systems. Onde those rules -,have been formulated, it might be,
possibleAo'sit down vrith I -It. Stefansky and come to so-ne agreement as to
his future�observance,of them..

your Board would instruct the Building

In connection with the new statute referred to in my letter to

and unless the town adopts a new by"law authorizing the creation of a'"planning"
board oll appeals, you must perfom the duties of such a board. G. L,, c. 410
§ 81Z (as added by StAt,,1953, c. 674, § 7). Since those duties might well,
in some instances become unduly.burdensome, I suggest that you sponsor an
Article for the consideration of the next town meeting, which would allow
you to establish an independent board to perform them. I enclose herewith i a
tentative draft of such an article, for your study, Said § 81Z provides that
the enabling by-law my provide that the existing "zoning" board of appeals
should also hear appeals from the Planning 36ard, I think you may agree that

Town Building
North Andover, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
The North Andover Board of Health has asked me to represent its
interests in'the matter of the so-called.Stanleyville real estate development
at the northerly end of Lake Cochichewick. Recent surveys made at its request
seem to indicate that the installation and maintenance of private sewage disposal
systems In thig area, mnless supervised with the greatest of care,,might result
in the c&ntamination of the lake, and the Board of Health is therefore most
interested in being advised promptly of any contemplated construction so that
it may take steps appropriate to the protection of the Townts water supply.
. In my opinion, notwithstanding the fact that the Stanleyville lots
have frontages along Great Pond Road, the development is a3lbiubdivision" within
the meaning of the new Subdivision Control Law; I have discussed this matter
with a member of your Board,, Ralph E. Finck, Esq., who is familiar with my .
position . If your Board agrees.with it,, the problem of the Board of Health
will be to a large extent solved, since (1) the Building Inspector should not
issue further building permits in the 8tanleyville area until your Board has
first examined and approved the Subdivision Plan,, (G. L. c. 41, § 812). and
(2) your Board will consult with the Board of Health as to any possible
injury to the public health before any such approval is given (G. L. c. 411, § 81U)4 -
I should therefore appreciate your -letting me know, as Soon as
possible, whether or not I may inform the Board of Health that YOU will notify
the Building Inspector that in your opinion the pr*posed Stanleyville development
is a subdivision within the new law,. so that he should grant no building permits
applicable thereto without further clearance from you.
I am sending a copy of this letter to tho Selectmen, and enclose
herewith a copy of my covering letter to them.

North Andover Board of Health
Julius Kay, M.D., Chairman
North Andover, Massachusetts
Dear Doctor Kay:
At your telephoned request Mr. Bogren visited North Andover
on May 28th to determine the adequacy of sewage disposal
facilities on lots #17 and #18 of the,Stanleyville develop-
ment on Great Pond Road.
The State Department of Public Healtho in.a,letter to the
Torin dated August 20, 1948, stated that it had examined the
area and fthe recent examination shows that the character of
the soil at this site is not well adapted for the disposal of
sewage in the ground.f It was of the opinion that 'the devel-
opment of land for real estate purposeb within 250 feet of the
pond in the area under consideration Is unadvisable, and con-
tinues to recommend that for all land developed for housing
purposes, suitable provision be made for the disposal of all
sewage in a manner which will prevent pollution of this viater
supply. The Department is of the opinion that before such ad-
equate provision can be made for the disposal of sewage in
this area, should any considerable number of houses be con-
structed thereino it will be necessary for the town to provide
a sewerage system to remove sewage from this area to a connect-
ion with the existing sewerage system of the town.'
In a letter to the Town dated August 20, 194ft the State
Department of Public Health approved, with certain modifications,
the plan of sewage disposal for a single house on the premises
of Mr. and Mrs. N. Artimovich in the Stanleyville area. The
modifications suggested by the Department were prefaced by the
statement fIn view of the character of the soil at this site
which is not well adapted to sewage disposal purposes........1
This office reported to your Public Works Department under
date of December 29, 1948 a suggested system of collecting
sewers for this area. It stated fAs a result of an examination
of the area on December 3, 1946 we are of the opinion that the
ground along Great Pond Road is not suitable for private sew-
age disposal..,...,
The lots in question have a frontage of 100 feet each on
Great Pond Road, with depths ranging from 301 to 332 feet.
* Copy of a letter to the property owner.
North Andover Board of Health June 4. 1954 20
The land slopes steeply toward the pond, and the site of the
houses on these two lots has been formed by cutting into the
hillside. On the date of our examination the cellar walls of
both houses had been constructed. The sewage disposal systems
of both houses had been installed, and a description of them
was given Mr, Bogren by the builder, Mr.Stefanski. Samples of
soil from each lot were collected from excavations for rear
porches, close to and at the same depth as the sewage disposal
systems.
The houses have 3 bedrooms, and are estimated to have five
occupants each. The sewage disposal systems are said to be
about 300 feet from the pond, and are located at the rear of
the houses, at the foot of the embankment out into the hillside.
The ground in which the sewage disposal systems are located is
about 10 feet below the original ground surface.
The soil samples did not look suitably permeable'for sub -surface
sewage disposal. The lot #17 sample contained stones larger than
lA" to the extent of 70% of its dry weight,, while the lot #18
sample was made up of , 80% of stones larger than 1/40. Sieve
analyses of the material passing 1/4 ti sieve gave the following
results. -
Effective Uniformity
Source Size - rm Coefficient
Lot #17 0.11 6 M_
Lot #18 0.07 5:lk
The lot #17 sample may be considered.fine in size -.the lot
#18 sample, very fine.
Each house is served by a 500 gallon septic tank, a size which
is adequate. The -septic tank effluent is discharged to a dis-
tributing manhole, from which 3 lines of leaching tile extend.
a distance of 30 feet each, or a total length of 90 feet for
each house. An area 10 feat x 30 feet was excavated to a depth
2 feet below the 4" bell and spigot tile pipe. Two feet of
gravel such as is, used for roadways was then placed In the
excavation, levelled, and the.tile pipe laid with open joints.
The pipes�are therefore about -4 feet apart, After laying the;
pipe, 2 feet of gravel was filled -above their bottom., and the '
levelled gravel covered with roofing paper. Ordinary excavated
material was used to fill the balance of the excavation.
The premises were viewed during'the wettest season pf the
wettest spring on record. There was a small percolation of
ground water into the cellar excavation on lot #17, but none in
lot #18 - concrete cellar floors had not been laid.
We believe both installations have one defect - failure to
surround the leaching -tile pipe with graded stone to prevent
clogging of the open joints by fine material in the surrounding
gravel. We have talked with the Sanitary Fmgineering Division
of the State Department of Public Health, and have been informed
North Andover Board.of Health June 4,, 1954
that their approval of the system of disposal assumed that the
leaching pipewould be surrounded with graded stone., as is
customarily done with open -jointed drains.
The length of leaching pipe is none too long, considering the
fineness of the soil; we would prefer 125'. However, there is
room to extend the pipes when required.
In short, the useful life of the disposal system has been
shortened by surrounding the tile pipe with gravel instead of
graded stone. Greater length of pipe would obviousy increase
the expected life of the system,
All things considered, the systems should function satisfact-
orily for some years. When the leaching pipe fails to dispose
of the sewage flow, its length should be extended, and the
present 90 feet relaid, in graded stone.
No system of private sewage disposal into the ground will
last indefinitely. Eventually any system will.become exhausted,
and the poorer the soil, the sooner the exhaustion. Only
periodic inspection by the municipality will insure that the
extension Is made when necessary. In these cases on lots #17
and #18, the location of the disposal systems in the rear of the
houses insures that any failure in operation will not go
unobserved, as sewage would come to the ground surface close to
the houses, beside the steep embankment, and would have to pass
the house to escape the premises.
Please call upon us if we can amplify the foregoing data.
OGBA
Yours very truly,,

The Department of Public Health, In rosponee to the request
of Mr. William B. Puffy. Suparintendont, datod t%y 12j, 19530 has
caused an examination to be made relative to the proposed
installation of seuikge disposal facilities at two dv*1111198 10eat0d
on the watershed of Lake Coohlohevick. �A
The examination shows that the pramiseaj d�algnated as
