Re: Fuller Farms, North Andover, Mass .
. Gentlemen:
In compliance with your request, I have summarized the results of
soil test and test pit observations on a parcel of land in North
Andover, known as Fuller Farms.
The results of percolation tests indicate that the drainage
properties of the majority of areas tested would -be; in accordance
with. Title 5, suitable for the subsurface disposal of sewerage. The
majority of soil observed is gravel, This soil type possess excellent
drainage properties .
The high ground water levels observed would be a factor in the
design of subsurface disposal systems . Puny lots would require
alterations to comply with Title 5.
A major brook, which is a tributary to a drinking water supply,
passes through the parcel. Other small seasonal ?crooks and wetlands
were observed on the property. These brooks and wetlands must be a
major consideration in the design of disposal systems .
This is a preliminary study and a more detail study of each lot,
including percolation tests and test pits , must be done prior to the
designing of any subsurface disposal systems . ,
