The soil evaluator must be a member or agent of the local approving authority. High groundwater evaluation determined by: Thorsen Akerley 11/2/2021 Evaluator's Name(type or print) Signature Date of evaluation C. Explanation Explain why full compliance, as defined in 310 CMR 15.404(1), is not feasible. (Each section must be completed) 1. An upgraded system in full compliance with 310 CMR 15.000 is not feasible: Designing the system with a 5'offset to seasonally high groundwater is very challenging due to the proximity of the proposed leaching field to the existing septic tank and dwelling. The previous design interpreted.groundwater over 1'deeper than our design, thus the existing conditions make it difficult to fit a system designed in strict conformance with 310 CM 15.000. 2. An alternative system approved pursuant to 310 CMR 15.283 to 15.288 is not feasible: This would be feasible, however only a 1' reduction to the seasonally high groundwater is being requested under 310 CMR 15.405(1)(h).
