The septic tank/pump tank in the front yard was not watertight and had clean water infiltration, likely due to the very high water table in the yard and inadequate craftsmanship by the installer to prevent this 2. The force main in the rear yard septic tank was plumbed into the outlet end of the septic tank not the inlet end of the septic tank. There also was no Tee to divert the incoming water into the middle layer of the tank 3. The pump in the final pump chamber was not operational Report is attached. Let me know any questions.

A few small items are noted: • Pump and alarm not wired so could not be checked • D-box needs hydraulic cement and need to see flow to it once pump is live • Riser over effluent filter needs to be at finished grade Otherwise all looked good. They are going to start backfilling the leach field but keep the d-box open for further examination. Any questions, do let me know.

Unfortunately there is some unclear information and likely some other issues which are not in compliance with the requirements in Title 5 for pumping to a septic tank. I sent the email below along to the design engineer. Just a heads up that it might end up being that they wish to seek a variance from Title 5. 1 will keep you posted if that ends up being the case. Please do let me know if you have any questions about this matter.

A few items: • Unfortunately it does not seem as if the requirements for pumping to a septic tank in 310 CMR 15.229 are complied with. This is a poorly worded section of the code but basically part 1 needs to be complied with if<25% of the flow is being pumped as sewage, and parts 1 and 2 need to be complied with if more than 25% of the flow is being pumped as sewage. I am operating under the assumption that both part 1 and part 2 of that section apply since it seems the majority of the sewage from the house exist towards the front. If that is an incorrect assumption please do let me know. • There are three different pump models specified. Clarify which one is intended and then provide specifications for that pump (can be a separate cut sheet if desired). The pump selected will also determine if 229(1) (a)or(b)applies. • Comply with the tank standards at 15.229 (2) (b) [or seek a variance] • Provide power or emergency storage as indicated at 229 (2)(c) Any questions please do let me know.

This tank was not shown on any record plans but the owners told me they believed a tank was in the front yard (I noted this on the approved septic design plan previously submitted). So...Arco uncovered the front tank and since this house is on a slab the ability to re-route the internal plumbing to the rear is not an option. I have updated the approved septic plan to show a proposed 500 gallon conc. pump chamber, 2 inch pvc force main (to connect to the newly installed 1500 gallon conc. septic tank in the rear yard, provided a pump chamber detail with relevant elevations, provided a system profile on Sheet 1, added info. on the pump curve on Sheet 2, and added a note for the existing front tank to be pumped and decommissioned. I have attached the plans and I can upload to the permitting site...I wanted to see how many plan copies you will need and what the fee is (if any) for the review.. As you know the approved system to the rear has been installed by Arco...so this is the last step to complete this project. Liz...you can use this plan for pricing of the change...
