Street No. Andover, Ma. 01845 Owner: Howard M. Thomson Date of Inspection: July 5, 1996 INSPECTION SUMMARY: Check A, B, C, or D: A) SYSTEM PASSES: XX I have not found any information which indicates that the system violates any of the failure criteria as defined in 3 10 CMR 15.303. Any failure criteria not evaluated are indicated below. B) SYSTEM CONDITIONALLY PASSES: One or more system components need to be replaced or repaired. The system, upon completion of the replacement or repair, passes inspection. Indicate yes, no, or not determined (Y,N, or ND). Describe basis of determination in all instances. If "not determined", explain why. The septic tank is metal, 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 conforming 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 pipe(s) are replaced obstruction is removed distribution box is leveled or replaced The system required pumping more than four times a year due to broken or obstructed pipe(s). The system will pass inspection if (with approval of the Board of Health): Broken pipe(s) are replaced obstruction is removed 2 SUBSURFACE SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM INSPECTION FORM PART A CERTIFICATION (continued) Property Address: 277 Famurn Street No. Andover, Ma.01845 Owner: Howard M. Thomson Date of Inspection: July 5, 1996 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 THE BOARD OF HEALTH DETERMINES THAT THE SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONING IN A MANNER THAT PROTECTS THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT. Cesspool or privy is within 50 feet of a 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 (AND PUBLIC WATER SUPPLIER, IF APPROPRIATE) 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 and is within 100 feet to a surface supply or tributary to a surface water supply. The system has a septic tank and soil absorption system and is within a Zone I of a public water supply well. The system has a septic tank and soil absorption system and is within 50 feet of a private water supply well. The system has a septic tank and soil absorption system and 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. SUBSURFACE SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM INSPECTION FORM PART A CERTIFICATION (continued) Property Address: 277 Farnum Street No. Andover, Ma. 01845 Owner: Howard M. Thomson Date of Inspection: July 5, 1996 D) SYSTEM FAILS: I have determined that the system violates one or more of the following failure criteria as defined in 3 10 CMR 15.303. The basis for this determination is identified below. The Board of Health should be contact to determine what will be necessary to correct the failure. Backup of sewage into facility or system component due to an overloaded or clogged SAS or cesspool. Discharge or ponding of effluent to the surface of the ground or surface water 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 less than 6" below invert or available volume is less than 1/2 day flow. Required pumping more than 4 times in the last year NOT due to clogged or obstructed pipe(s) 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. 4 SUBSURFACE SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM INSPECTION FORM PART A CERTIFICATION (continued) Property Address: 277 Farnum. Street No. Andover, Ma. 01845 Owner: Howard M. Thomson Date of Inspection: July 5, 1996 D) SYSTEM FAILS (continued) 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: The following criteria apply to large systems in addition to the criteria above: The design flow of system is 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 exists: The system is within 400 feet of 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 11 of a public water supply well). The owner or operator of any such system sliall bring the system and facility into full compliance with the groundwater treatment program requirements of 314 CMR 5.00 and 6.00.
