Preliminary Assessment of the Suitability of Soils for Septic System Use
Wind lst Farms, North Andover, Mass.
A review of the Soil Conservation Ser lce#s Soil Survey for Essex County
indicates that the project site lies mostly within an area of Paxton soils. A portion of the
site along the Andover town line lies within an area of Charltonsoils, Descriptions Of
these sail types, taken fiiorn the aforementioned Soil Survey, are attached. These soil
types .pie both suitable for residential development, with some Ifinitations for septic sy t l
use due to slow perm abilties in the Paxton soils and possible large stones and shallow to
bedrock areas in the Charlton Soils.
On `ebr r ' 15 and 16, 1996, Christiansen& Sergi. Inc. performed unofficial tests
t the project site to determine the general stfitability of the soils. The test pit results
eonfffm d the general assessment of the soil types on the site as Paxton and Charlton, as
per the Soil Survey. The portions of the site that lie within the Paxton soil boundaries
consisted of sods with a parent material of fi-fable to firni, fine sandy learn. Soiree of the
test pits contained pockets of silt loam or clay loam.wltl .the fine sandy loaf . Five
percolation tests were performed in the areas of Paxton soils . Four of the tests passed,
Frith.rates between 7 minutes per rich.and 20 minutes per inch.. One test, performed in are
area of soils that contained a moderate amount of silt loan or clay loam, failed.
Results froin the test pits perfomed in.the Charlton soil area also appeared
c nsista t with the Soil Survey descriptions. Ledge was encountered at a shallow depth
(approximately 5 feet) in one of the three test pits performed. Percolation tests resulted i
rates with the range of 15 to 25 nnhi tes per inch.
In general, the soils on site appear suitable for the use of septic systems. Although
some areas of the site may be unsuitable due to varying soil conditions, the lack of
wetlands and other restricting features allow nearly all of the site area to be available for
septic systems.testing. Official testings scheduled to be performed with Health Agent
Sandra Starr starting on the date of April 24, 1996.
