The revised plan has been reviewed and is ready for issuance of an approval letter. A draft has been provided for your
usage.
Note that this site has some specific requirements related to who can build the system, sand fill sample requirements, and
deed notice requirements. Please review and let me know if there are any questions.

Re: Subsurface Sewage Disposal System Plan — 249 Rea Street (Map 38, Lot 143)
Dear Brian:
We are in receipt of your review of the septic design for the above referenced property dated
April 12, 2021 and uploaded onto ViewPoint Cloud on May 11, 2021. Please find enclosed the
following:
• 3 sets of the revised Sanitary Disposal System Repair Plans
• DRAFT Notice of Alternative Sewage Disposal System
On behalf of Geddie Busanovich, The Morin-Cameron Group, Inc. has prepared the following
responses to your comments. For your convenience the response comments are numbered in the
same order and correlate to the numbered comments in your letter:
1. The plan states "All pipe to be 4" P.V.C. (SCH. 40) unless noted otherwise" on the system
profile (see Sheet 2 of 2).
2. The existing building sewer is to be inspected and replaced if warranted as stated in
General Note #20 on Sheet 1 of 2. The proposed septic tank is further from the dwelling
than the existing tank and will require a new connection from the existing line to the new
tank. A note has been added to the profile to explicitly call out the new section with
specifications for construction.
3. The manhole cover over the effluent filter is shown graphically to finish grade on the septic
tank detail and profile. The profile states that a "Watertight access riser shall be installed
to finish grade". The same note has been added to the septic tank detail sheet for clarity
(see Sheet 2 of 2).
4. General note 9 has been revised to indicate installation of a sand bed (see Sheet 1 of 2).
5. The by-pass vent will be running along the side of the pump chamber. The profile depicts
the vent to scale, showing the vent invertjust below the top of pump chamber. The pump

chamber has been adjusted in the by-pass detail to help clarify (see Sheet 1 of 2). The by-
pass vent detail is not to scale.
6. A DRAFT Notice of Alternative Sewage Disposal System has been included with the revised
submission.
7. The plan has been revised to show an area for the best feasible replacement system
(leaching bed) in the event that the proposed system fails or it is determined that it is not
capable of providing equivalent environmental protection (see Sheet 1 of 2).
We trust these responses satisfy your questions and concerns. If you have any additional
questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
Sincerely,
THE MORIN-CAMERON GROUP, INC.
