Re: Design Plan for 300 Foster Street (Map 1041) Lot 2
ear M°. Sullivan:
The proposed wastewater system design plan for the above site dated November 5, 2019 has
been reviewed. Unfortunately, the plan cannot be approved until the following items are
corrected. The specific section in Title 5: 3.1.0 CMR 15.000, or North Andover regulation that is
not met by this design follows each item where applicable.
1. Provide a complete scaled prof to of the system no less tharn 1"=2' vertical and 1"=20'
horizontal (NA. 3.2).
2. The setback distance from the septic tank to the dwelling must be a minimum of l0'.
Depict this distance on the plan (15.211) (NA 3.9).
3. The distribution box is noted to have a"6" crushed stone base". Provide a note that the
stone beneath the distribution box shall.be <= 1 �V2" (221(7)).
4. The leach :field is noted to have "2" of 1/8" to V2" washed stone" as top stone,provide a
note that the stone shall be "double washed" (242(2)).
5. Remove or clarify General Notes 15 & 16. It is unclear if you are requiring the building
sewer to be re-laid and the septic tame pipe penetrations made watertight or not. This
appears to be the case based on these notes but is not so indicated on the site plan
6. Clarify the intent of General Note 9 regarding the inspection which is to be performed of
tive existing septic tank:
