' In response to your last e-mail,we visited the site again and confirmed that each of the 5 distribution lines has positive slope from the distribution box to the infiltrator leach field as indicated on the as-built plan. Ve did not find any lines to ' be flat as you suggest. i Additionally,we entered the basement of the main dwelling and measured the approximate height of the existing sewer pipe to the best of our ability given the existing conditions and found it to be at elevation 56.8.The invert-in elevation of the septic tank is approximately 51.3.The length of pipe is approx. 32 feet.As Such, the slope of the sewer is approx. | | 17%,far in excess of the minimum required slope and consistent with the intent of the approved plans. i We hope this additional information is adequate and provides You all the necessary details to a resolution of this matter. � Thanks, Vladimir ( | V06m/rL Nemchenok, F.E.

This acceptance of responsibility will be sufficient. However, there are a few outstanding items that need to be addressed prior to this office signing and issuing the Certificate of Compliance.They are as follows: 1. Final grading for the main house has not been completed.The distribution box and pipes are still exposed. 2. After two inspections(9/9/15 and 9/11/15) by our consultant from Mill River Consulting (MRC),the slope of the pipes from the distribution box outlet to the leach field inlet essentially have no slope (slopes vary from 0.000 to 0.002) and are different from what was specified on the approved design plan. Furthermore, the elevations on the as-built plan do not match the elevations obtained from our consultant from MRC. 3. A statement indicating if the designer,Vladimir Nemchenok, has examined the building sewer pipes to ensure they meet the minimum specifications required per Title 5 regulations and the approved design plan. The designer,Vladimir Nemchenok,will need provide a statement in writing to let the Town of North Andover know the current conditions of the septic system piping and components are acceptable to him. As of 12:30 today, we have not been able to reach the engineer for the property. If you are successful in reaching the designer please have him contact this office or Isaac Rowe from MRC directly(978.836.6412)so Mr. Giard can finish backfilling, and we can expedite the certificate of Compliance.

Unfortunately the licensed installer has made no progress towards rectifying the questions which were raised at the previous inspection and noted in our email to you of September 9, 2015. There continues to be essentially no slope between the distribution box outlet and the leach field invert elevations(slopes vary from 0.000 to 0.002). As indicated in our previous communication: 1. What has been constructed is different from what you had specified on your design plan. Please let the Town of North Andover know, in writing, If the current condition of the piping is acceptable to you or not 2. Please let the Town of North Andover know if you examined all the building sewer pipes and determined if they meet the minimum specifications required per regulation and your design plan Our understanding is the transaction of this property is dependent on resolving these issues and the general finalization of the construction of the septic system. Please note the Town of North Andover is working expeditiously to deal with the matters under its purview,even making visits to the site to see if progress has been made, but cannot advance this further without your involvement in these two matters. We await your assistance in resolving these matters. If I can be of any assistance please feel to call me 978.836.6412. Thanks, Isaac M. Rowe, R.S.

I do not entirely agree with the designer's answer for item#12 but he has gone on record to indicate the reasoning for modifying the elevation of the test pits and groudwater. There is no way to determine this without the survey data but either way the system will be well above the seasonal groundwater table. I just wanted this to be noted in our records.

A few comments in particular to review Comment#1 is in red because we should discuss how we want to present this comment. Basically the Assessor's information has the house as a (2) bedroom but the design plan shows a total of(8) bedrooms. Is there an old design plan on file indicating the number of bedrooms the current system is designed for? I believe it would be prudent for the Health Dept or MRC to conduct a walk through each dwelling unit because this is not a typical residential design. Let me know what you think. Comment#4-a wetland buffer zone is shown but not wetland flags.See Heidi's comments about the soil testing.This is seems to reinforce the need to show the location of wetland flags. Comment#12- 1 believe the proposed leach field is approximately 1'too low based on existing grades and the ESHWT. Thanks, Isaac M. Rowe, R.S.
