4) System Failure Criteria Applicable to All Systems: (coat.)
Yes No
❑ Static liquid level in the distribution box above outlet invert due to an overloaded
or clogged SAS or cesspool
❑ Liquid depth in cesspool is less than 6"below invert or available volume is less
than '/z day flow
❑ Required pumping more than 4 times in the last year NOT due to clogged or
obstructed pipe(s). Number of times pumped.
❑ Any portion of the SAS, cesspool or privy is below high ground water elevation.
❑ Any portion of cesspool or privy is within 100 feet of a surface water supply or
tributary to a surface water supply.
❑ Any portion of a cesspool or privy is within a Zone 1 of a public water supply
well.
❑ Any portion of a cesspool or privy is within 50 feet of a private water supply well.
❑ Any portion of a cesspool or privy is less than 100 feet but greater than 50 feet
from a private water supply well with no acceptable water quality analysis. [This

laboratory,for fecal coliform bacteria indicates absent and the presence
of ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen its equal to or less than 5 ppm,
provided that no other failure criteria are triggered.A copy of the analysis
and chain of custody must be attached to this form.]
❑ The system is a cesspool serving a facility with a design flow of 2000 gpd-
10,000 gpd.
❑ The system fails. I have determined that one or more of the above failure
criteria exist as described in 310 CMR 15.303, therefore the system fails.The
system owner should contact the Board of Health to determine what will be
necessary to correct the failure.
5) LargeSystems: To be considered a large system the system must serve a facility with a
design floirof,110,000 gpd to 16,000 gpd.
