Mr. Fixler notes that he believes that if asked, most service men and women would not object to methods that are meant to keep tobacco out of the reach of the youth. Joe McCarthy voiced concernover your tobacco use and listed various bits of morbidity and mortality data on second hand smoke and smokers. He believes it will help limit the youth access to tobacco. He notes that many MA cities and towns have done this and is 2015 North Andover Board of Health Meeting Page 1 of 6 Board of Health Members: Thomas.

MacMillan, Jr., M.D.; Joseph McCarthy, Member; Edwin Pease, Member Health Department Staff: Susan Sawyer, Health Director; Debra Rillahan, Public Health Nurse; Michele Grant, Public Health Inspector; Lisa Blackburn, Health Department Assistant North Andover Board of Health Meeting Minutes Thursday — June 25, 2015 7:00 p.m. 120 Main Street, 2"d Floor Selectmen's Meeting Room North Andover, MA 01845 Mr. Nemchenok reviewed the requests for 110 Famum St, as discussion ensued regarding the septic plan and placement of the septic system. Dan Ottenheimer, Mill River Consultant, discussed the wetland issues on the plan and stated that the first plans did not show the wetlands. He stated that it should have been identified back in May when Conservation Commission told Merrimack Engineering to look into it. Mill River also asked that the wetlands be double checked. Revised plans were submitted and again Mill River asked Merrimack Engineering to review with Conservation. Mr. Ottenheimer stated that this is not good engineering practice. The wetlands were approximated and are now 100 ft., closer to where the septic system is proposed and where Merrimack Engineering identified it previously. Last minute revised plans were presented this afternoon. Procedure concerns. Engineering firm did not look into it. Met with Conservation at 2:15 and presented plans received at 2:30 in afternoon. The new plans have not been evaluated yet by Mill River. Dr. MacMillan stated that he is not comfortable in putting plans forward that hasn't been properly vetted reviewed by town consultants. The engineer stated that he received the job in March and the snow made it hard to find the wetlands. Mr. Fixler made similar statements, noting to the consultant has not had time to review it. In response to Joe McCarthy's inquiry about the issue, Mr. Ottenheimer detailed that there was plenty of time and he is not comfortable with it either, as it just arrived this afternoon and Mill River has not reviewed it. Mr. Ottenheimer noted his frustration that this could have been avoided if the town's advice had been heeded. Mr. McCarthy noted his concern regarding the position the homeowner's are put in now. The members expressed their concern and noted that next time this should not come in last minute. The homeowner chose to speak on his engineer's behalf regarding wetlands and changes to the plan. He stated that the Engineer walked the whole property and identified them in back of property. He said the other area wasn't obvious. It is "perfectly dry, but it has wetland plants". The only plan changed would be to move pipe closer to the house and move further from wetland. Motion was made by Dr. MacMillan to delegate authority to Dr. Trowbridge to approve the plans following review by Mr. Ottenheimer if there are no unexpected findings, and after consultation with our consultant. Motion was seconded by Mr. McCarthy; all were in favor. Motion was made by Dr. MacMillan to approve the LUA to allow the septic system to be 4 feet above ground water where 5 feet is required for full compliance and all other requests as listed on the plan, pending Mill River's review. • To reduce the setback from the septic tank to the wetland resource area from 75' to 50' 2015 North Andover Board of Health Meeting Page 3 of 6 Board of Health Members: Thomas Trowbridge, DDS, MD, Chairman; Larry Fixler, Member/Clerk; Francis P. MacMillan, Jr., M.D.; Joseph McCarthy, Member; Edwin Pease, Member Health Department Staff. Susan Sawyer, Health Director, Debra Rillahan, Public Health Nurse; Michele Grant, Public Health Inspector; Lisa Blackburn, Health Department Assistant • To reduce the setback from the pump chamber to the wetland resource area from 75' to 73' • To reduce the setback from the soil absorption system to the wetland resource area from • 100' to 63' • To reduce the separation distance from the soil absorption system to the estimated seasonal high ground water table from 5' to 4' • To reduce the requirement of soil test pits in the area of the proposed leaching facility from 2 test pits to 1 test pit The motion was seconded by Mr. McCarthy. All were in favor and motion was approved pending Mill River's review. Mr. Ottenheimer questioned Mr. Nemchenok about the size. Asking for 5ft instead of 4ft to reduce cost and ground disturbance, however made the system bigger which causes disturbance. Area is 795 sq. ft. instead of 595 sq. ft. Cost to the owner and the degree of variance would be less and rationalization for shorter height would be justifiable without extra 200 sqft. Mr. Ottenheimer does not believe that they have justified their reasoning for building larger than they need. Homeowner tried to explain the reason for this based on topography. Dr. Trowbridge questioned whether adding fill could be utilized rather than making the system bigger. The consultant felt the reasoning to make the field larger did not justify the board's approval of the variance, but acknowledged it was the board's decision C. 70 Raleigh Tavern Lane - Vladimir Nemchenok, Merrimack Engineering, requesting: WALK ON TO AGENDA REQUEST 1. Local upgrade approval to reduce the separation distance from the soil absorption system to the estimated seasonal high ground water table from 4' to 3'. 2. To reduce the setback from the soil absorption system to the wetland resource area from 100' to 84' Nb-. Nemchenok reviewed the requests for 70 Raleigh Tavern Lane. A discussion ensued regarding the septic plan and placement of the septic system. Dan Ottenheimer, Mill River Consultant, explained the request for the reduction to the water table 4' to 3'. Gave his explanation on why the requests are different on the two properties. He stated that rapidly flowing soil needs to be 5' of separation. Silt/Clay soil only needs 4' separation. This allows for adequate treatment of the effluent. Dr. Trowbridge — Why is there another increased size of the field from 622 to 795 sq ft? This will increase the cost to the homeowner an extra $1000 to $3000? Does the homeowner understand that they are paying extra for a larger system than required? Board members asked the homeowner, Walter Soule, if he understood about the additional money involved in the plan. A discussion ensued regarding the additional cost to the septic plan and if the homeowner was aware of the issue. The Board is making him aware and that this is something he can discuss with his engineer. Mr. Soule thanked the Board for all their help. Mr. Ottenheimer asks the question to Mr. Nemchenok of whether one could reduce the size and then reduce the variance? Mr. Nemchenok did not offer any additional information. As background on this property, Susan Sawyer explained the voluntary Title 5 that was done by the homeowner. A voluntary Title V requires that no Title 5 report paperwork is submitted to the Health Department. Hence this was done basically so an owner has additional time to replace the system. Motion was made by Dr. MacMillan to approve the local upgrade approval to reduce the separation distance from the soil absorption system to the estimated seasonal high ground water table from 4' to 3'. Motion seconded by Mr. McCarthy. All were in favor and the motion was approved. Motion made by Dr. MacMillan to approve the reduction to the setback from the soil absorption system to the wetland resource area from 100' to 84', Motion seconded by Larry. All were in favor and the motion was approved. 2015 North Andover Board of Health Meeting Page 4 of 6 Board of Health Members: Thomas Trowbridge, DDS, MD, Chairman; Larry Fixler, Member/Clerk; Francis P. MacMillan, Jr., M.D.; Joseph McCarthy, Member; Edwin Pease, Member Health Department Staff: Susan Sawyer, Health Director; Debra Rillahan, Public Health Nurse; Michele Grant, Public Health lnspector; Lisa Blackburn, Health Department Assistant North Andover Board of Health Meeting Minutes Thursday —June 25, 2015 7:00 p.m. 120 Main Street, 2°d Floor Selectmen's Meeting Room North Andover, MA 01845 Dr. Trowbridge asked about the process of approving variances and local upgrades. Mr. Ottenheimer gave brief overview of guidelines of Title 5. Discussion followed. The homeowner from 110 Famum St. gave her thoughts regarding the septic installation process. She stated she felt that there were miscommunications in the process. Stated she did not receive the disapproval letter, however it was noted that the disapproval letter was sent out to them. Ms. Grant said the disapproval letter and final approval letter goes to both the homeowner and engineer as a standard procedure. However, Ms. Grant stated that it is not common practice for the homeowner to deliver the septic paperwork as Merrimack Engineering has their clients do. The engineering company usually does that. It is the engineer who should be guiding the homeowner through the process. VI. COMMUNICATIONS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, AND DISCUSSION A.

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. Cleanouts are required at all bends in the building sewer line (310 CMR 15.222(8)). 2. Since the Infiltrator Chamber system is proposed as an alternative soil absorption system the "Standard Conditions for Alternative Soil Absorption Systems with General Use Certification and/or Approved for Remedial Use" will apply. Please provide the following as required by the approval conditions Section Il(7): e) The record drawings, approved by the LAA, must clearly indicate an area for the best feasible replacement system that could be installed in the event that the proposed Alternative Soil Absorption System fails or it is determined that it is not capable of providing equivalent environmental protection; Page 1 of 2 North Andover Health Department, 1600 Osgood Street, Suite 2035, North Andover, MA 01845 Phone: 978.688.9540 Fax: 978.688.8476 Please feel free to contact the office or Mill River Consulting at 978-282-0014 with any questions you may have.

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. Cleanouts are required at all bends in the building sewer line (3 10 CMR 15.222(8)). 2. Since the Infiltrator Chamber system is proposed as an alternative soil absorption system the "Standard Conditions for Alternative Soil Absorption Systems with General Use Certification and/or Approved for Remedial Use" will apply. Please provide the following as required by the approval conditions Section I1(7): e) The record drawings, approved by the LAA, must clearly indicate an area for the best feasible replacement system that could be installed in the event that the proposed Alternative Soil Absorption System fails or it is determined that it is not capable of providing equivalent environmental protection; Page 1 of 2 North Andover Health Department, 1600 Osgood Street, Suite 2035, North Andover, MA 01845 Phone: 978.688.9540 Fax: 978.688.8476 4 Please feel free to contact the office or Mill River Consulting at 978-282-0014 with any questions you may have.

Hoods are scheduled to be cleaned tonight. - Salad area transport cart has dirt build up - clean. - Two flies observed near conveyor area. No ants observed. Pest report indicates Waltham treated for ants since last week. Under advice of Waltham, manager is treating drains near conveyor nightly with boric acid. Conveyor track is washed after lunch and dinner. There is new grout in the tile around dish conveyor - that was done over shut down. Large basement storage room is under renovation. I hope they got your ok? The only renovation so far is the removal of one of the walls (to right as you look in double doors). This right side wall is now set back farther, making the storage room larger, and new blue wall board is installed. I talked to Bryan and Meagan about how the conveyor could be better designed should it be renovated. It would be better if it had it's own self cleaning mechanism, a better system for catching debris and water, and there shouldn't be such a long inaccessible space between the kitchen and dining room.
