Re: 1010 Johnson Street(Map 107,Lot 137)
Dear Mr. Kavanaugh:
The proposed wastewater system design plan for the above site dated October 20, 2020 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. Provide distances on site plan from all tanks and SAS to property lines, dwellings and
other structures(NA 3.2)
2. Notation on plan that magnetic marking tape will be placed above subsurface piping(310
CMR 15.221(12))
3. Provide a note that the top of the distribution box,pump chamber and soil absorption
system is to be<=36"below grade(310 CMR 15.221(7))
4. Provide sufficient information and instructions to allow the system installer to properly
determine if the existing septic tank meets current regulatory requirements
5. Note 12 appears to conflict with depicted site conditions
6. Distance from soil absorption system to wetlands will require a Local Upgrade Approval
or a variance pursuant to Title 5, and a treatment system or a variance pursuant to the
Town of North Andover Onsite Wastewater Regulations. Provide the requisite
application and forms,and notate the requested relief on the design plan
Although not cause for disapproval,please notate the soil class in the design calculations to show
the system has been designed in accordance with Title 5 regulations.
