A-request is then sent to the Town's septic consultant to schedule sail and
percolation testing.The soil testing usually takes place within two weeks.
The consultant notifies the soil evaluator when the testing will take place.
Soil testing is completed and results are sent to the Health Department and engineer.
Design_flans
The homeowner hires an engeer or sanitarian to design a septic system and
produce a plan reflecting the placement of the system and all pertinent information. .
The septic plan is submitted,to the Health Department with an application and a fee
of$225.00.flans will be sent by mail for review,however if the engineer or
sanitall has provided the Health Department with.a PDF copy of the plan,the
accompanying paperwork and the PDF are emailed that day to our Septic
Consultant.
1he Health Department strives to complete reviews of design plans within three
weeks' time. Ma xmum time allowed is 45 claps though this is xarelp needed.
Once reviewed, an approval or disappxov .l letter is generated and sent to the
homeowner and engineer or sanitarian. If approved,the homeowner can hire an
installer to build the approved septic system as described below. If disapproved,the
engineer or sanitarian must address the missing or deficient criteria,and submit a
revised plan four xe-revie r.
If site constraints are such that the plan cannot comply with the standards in the
regulations and requires a variance request from those standards to be reviewed,the
engineer or sanitatan will Hate that on the plan and le a request in writing to be
present at an upcoming meeting of the North Andover Board of Health. Once the
plan is substantially approv ble it will be placed on the next available monthly B H
incetmg.
Some septic system projects will require review and a ptoval from other Town
departments or boards in addition to the Health Department and Board of Health.
If needed this is USUally from the Conservation ornr❑ission if the work is proposed

Final Inipeotian—The design engineer or sanitarian will.first complete an
inspection of the system to confirm compliance with the approved plans and the
various tegulations. The engineer or sanitarian will call or email the Health.
Department upon their satisfactory assessment of the construction,after which the

this inspection. with a pump system, a permit must be acquired through the
S Building Department.All electrical work must be ready and able to cause the pump

on site.Note that the Final Grade inspection cannot be completed when the system
is covered in snow. If the homeowner does-not want seeding to be placed on top of
the septic system at the time of final grade inspection, they may submit in writing
their wishes to waive this requitement.
