RE: Lot 13 Evergreen Estates
Dear Mr. Christiansen:
This letter comes to confirm that at their recent regularly scheduled meeting on February 26, 1998,
the North Andover Board of Health granted a waiver to the Town of North Andover Minimum
Requirement for the Subsurface Disposal of Sanitary Sewage Section 5.02,Distances,to permit a minimum
of 75 feet to wetlands for a septic system on Lot 13 Beaverbrook Road,Evergreen Estates. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to call the Health Department.

RE: Lot 3 Windkist Farm
Lot 13 Evergreen Estates
Dear Phil:
This letter is to inform you that the proposed septic plans for Lot 3
Windkist Farm Road have been denied because the line from the house to the
tank must be a straight line.
The proposed plans for lot 13 Evergreen Estates have been denied
because the flow calculations were based on twenty minutes per inch instead of
25 minutes per inch,
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Board of
Health office at the number below.

Re: Lot 13 Beaver Brook Road (Evergreen Estates)
Dear Ms. Starr:
On behalf of my client,D.E.C.M.Essex, Inc. I hereby request a variance from
Section 5.02 of the Town of North Andover Minimum Requirements for the Subsurface
Disposal of Sanitary Sewage. Specifically, a variance is requested to allow for the
construction of a leaching facility at a distance of 75 feet from a Bordering Vegetated
Wetland.
As you recall, during the excavation of the topsoil and subsoil from the leaching
area of the previously approved subsurface disposal system for this lot,broken rock or
ledge was encountered at the end of the excavation closest to Beaver Brook Road.
Bebause of this,we have prepared a revised set of design plans for the disposal system.
The revised design consists of an 839 square foot leaching gallery that is located further
back on the lot to avoid the area of unsuitable materials. As a result, the proposed
leaching facility is located within 76 feet of the Bordering Vegetated Wetland located in
the center portion of the lot.
Due to the fact that a Certified Vernal Pool is located within the boundaries of the
Bordering Vegetated Wetland from which the setback variance is sought,we have
provided a Cross Section of the lot and the downgradient area to illustrate that the
location of the soil absorption system is hydraulically downgradient of the vernal pool.
Simply put, the usual winter/spring standing water elevation within the wetland area is
significantly higher than the elevation of the seasonal high groundwater in the area of the
soil absorption system. The standing water elevation was recorded at elevation 128.9 feet
at the time when the aerial photographs were taken for topographic survey for the project.
The estimated seasonal high groundwater elevation determined for Test Pit 13-1 was at
elevation 126.7 feet. The bottom elevation of the topographical depression at the location
of the proposed soil absorption system was determined to be 128.1 feet(prior to any
ground disturbance).
Since there is no evidence of any standing water in the depression, even during
times when the ponded water elevation in the wetlands is at an elevation above the bottom
elevation of the depression,the depression(and therefore the area of the soil absorption
system)must be hydraulically downgradient from the Vernal Pool. To further illustrate
this point,the aforementioned excavation of the topsoil and subsoil in the area was dug
several feet below the level of the ponded water in the wetland, and the soil was clearly
not inundated with groundwater, as it would have to have been if it was located
hydraulically upgradient of the vernal pool. This being the case,the required setback
between the soil absorption system and the Certified Vernal Pool is 50 feet, according to
310 CMR 15.211[2]. The proposed design results in an offset of 76 feet.
Enclosed are three sets of the revised design plan for the lot. Please call me if you
have any questions regarding this matter.

RE: Lot #13 Beaver Brook Road (DEP #242-894).
Dear Phil:
As you may be aware,the North Andover Conservation Commission (NACC) issued an Order
of Conditions on 1/8/98 authorizing single family dwelling construction on Lot #13 Beaver
Brook Road. It is my understanding that recent field testing with the Board of Health may
result in a revised site design whereas the subsurface sewage disposal system would be re-
located within the 100' Buffer Zone. Construction of the system (versus design and
functionality) would in turn fall under the jurisdiction of the NACC. Condition #20 requires
the applicant to submit revised plans to the Commission if there are any deviations from the
original submittal. Once the appeal period has expired and after the Order of Conditions
has been recorded, please instruct your client to file a formal Modification request with the
NACC prior to the implementation of any work.
While you and I disagree somewhat on the definition of a vernal pool versus vernal pool
habitat I found your written correspondence to be articulate and sensible. However, I also
believe that there exists a fundamental philosophical difference regarding the sensitivity of
this wetland type,that I believe cannot be resolved. As such, and independent of any
disagreement over the extent of the vernal pool versus vernal pool habitat, by issuance of
this letter I have formally requested that the Board of Health uphold the performance
standards of their local bylaw and mandate a leaching field setback of 100' from the edge
of the Bordering Vegetated Wetland. I find no sensible argument to act otherwise and
under this particular scenario I do not believe a waiver of this performance standard is
appropriate. Simply put,waiving setbacks haphazardly so that a system can be squeezed
onto a lot with unique and valued site features is wrong.

Your client has repeatedly asked that I provide to him a copy of the certification application
which was forwarded to the state. I have informed him that for whatever reason my staff at
that.time did not make copies for the file and sent the original application package to the
state. I further told Mr. Couiilard that the Natural Heritage Program must Have a copy of
this document otherwise a certification number would not have been issued. I would advise
you to contact those folks directly; I apologize for the inconvenience.
Your consideration of this matter is appreciated and, as always, I look-{forward to working
with you on this matter and fuu e projects.

MEMO TO FILE,
On January 8, 1998,I observed the excavation of the proposed leaching area on Lot 13
Beaverbrook Road,Evergreen Estates. The area excavated by George Henderson was that defined on the
proposed septic plans dated Deccmbcr 16, 1997. The composition of the removed material was very
bouldery,at least,with muddy soil, At a point approximately 10 feet from the stake designating the
northeastern cornnr of the leaching area,a largo.rock nutcrnp was fnnnd that.rofivwd to he rrmoveA
Although large chunks of the rock were broken off by the excavator,only more rock was found
underneath. i determined this to be bedrock, There was an additional bedrock area about 5 feet to the west
of this rock. The length of the area was about 12 feet across the width of the proposed leach area. in
addition,the entire width of the area closest to the street was broken rock and bedrock. For these reasons,
the proposed leaching area is not appropriate for the installation of a septic leaching area.
