2. System will fail unless the Board of Health (and Public Water Supplier, if any)
determines that the system is functioning in a manner that protects the public health,
safety and environment:
❑ The system has a septic tank and soil absorption system (SAS) and the SAS is within
100 feet of a surface water supply or tributary to a surface water supply.
❑ The system has a septic tank and SAS and the SAS is within a Zone 1 of a public water
supply.
❑ The system has a septic tank and SAS and the SAS is within 50 feet of a private water
supply well.
❑ The system has a septic tank and SAS and the SAS is less than 100 feet but 50 feet or
more from a private water supply well".
Method used to determine distance:
**This system passes if the well water analysis, performed at a DEP certified laboratory, for fecal
coliform bacteria indicates absent and the presence of ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen is equal
to or less than 5 ppm, provided that no other failure criteria are triggered. A copy of the analysis must
be attached to this form.
3. Other:
D) System Failure Criteria Applicable to All Systems:
You must indicate "Yes" or"No"to each of the following for all inspections:
Yes No
❑ ® Backup of sewage into facility or system component due to overloaded or
clogged SAS or cesspool
❑ ® Discharge or ponding of effluent to the surface of the ground or surface waters
due to an overloaded or clogged SAS or cesspool
❑ ® Static liquid level in the distribution box above outlet invert due to an overloaded
or clogged SAS or cesspool

B. Certification (cont.)
Yes No
❑ ® 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 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
system passes if the well water analysis, performed at a DEP certified
laboratory, for fecal coliform bacteria indicates absent and the presence
of ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen is 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 2000gpd-
10,000gpd.
❑ ® 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.
E) Large Systems: To be considered a large system the system must serve a facility with a
design flow of 10,000 gpd to 15,000 gpd.
For large systems, you must indicate either"yes" or"no"to each of the following, in addition to the
questions in Section D.
Yes No
❑ ❑ the system is within 400 feet of a surface drinking water supply
❑ ❑ the system is within 200 feet of a tributary to a surface drinking water supply
❑ ❑ the system is located in a nitrogen sensitive area (Interim Wellhead Protection
Area—IWPA) or a mapped Zone II of a public water supply well
If you have answered "yes"to any question in Section E the system is considered a significant threat,
or answered "yes" in Section D above the large system has failed. The owner or operator of any large
system considered a significant threat under Section E or failed under Section D shall upgrade the
system in accordance with 310 CMR 15.304. The system owner should contact the appropriate
regional office of the Department.
