Re: Lot 3 - 1975 Salem Street(Map 106B,Lot 16)
Dear Mr. Christiansen,
The proposed wastewater system design plan for the above site dated December 22, 2017 and
received on December 28, 2017 has been reviewed. 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 where applicable.
1. On sheet 1 of 2,the benchmark is shown greater than 75 feet to the proposed septic
system(310 CMR 15.220(4)(q)). A note on the design plan indicating a benchmark shall
be set prior to construction is sufficient.
2. On sheet 1 of 2,the test pits should be graphically depicted to accurately reflect the
orientation they were dug during the soil evaluation.
3. 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 II(6):
c) The record drawings, approved by the LAA, must clearly indicate an area for a
full-sized conventional primary SAS and a full-sized conventional reserve area
that are for the sole purpose of on-site sewage disposal;

of the Approval to any new Owner, as required by 310 CMR

understands the requirement to repair, replace, modify or take any
other action as required by the Department or the LAA, if the
