Re: Subsurface Sewage Disposal System Plan for 303 Berry Street, Map 106D, Lot 49
Dear Mr. Perry:
The proposed wastewater system design plan for the above site dated July 22, 2013 with a final
revision dated August 13, 2013, received on August 14, 2013 has been approved.
The design has been approved for use in the construction of a new upgraded onsite septic system,
designed for a 4-bedroom(maximum 9- room) home. This plan is good for 3-years from the date
of approval.
During this time, a licensed septic system installer must obtain a permit and complete this work,
and a Certificate of Compliance be endorsed by the installer, designer and the Town of North
Andover or the plan approval will be voided.
This approval is also subject to the following conditions:
I. The owner will record the required Deed Notice prior to Construction. Additionally,
the owner will provide written certification to the Board of Health to comply with
Section II(18) for alternative systems.
2. Prior to the issuance of the Disposal Works Installers Permit, the applicant must
submit a foundation as-built at the same scale as the approved plan. The overlay will
ensure the new foundation and new system meet the minimum distance requirements.
3. If site conditions are found in the field to be different from those indicated on the
design plan and/or soil evaluation, the originally issued Disposal System Construction
Permit is void, installation shall stop, and the applicant shall reapply for a new
Disposal Systems Construction Permit (3 10 CMR 15.020(1)).

4. It is the responsibility of the applicant and/or the applicant's septic system designer,
septic system installer or other representative to ensure that all other state and
municipal requirements are met. These may include review by the Conservation
Commission, Zoning Board, Planning Board, Building Inspector, Plumbing Inspector
and/or Electrical Inspector. The issuance of a Disposal System Construction Permit
shall not construe and/or imply compliance with any of the aforementioned
requirements.
Please feel free to contact the office with any questions you may have, We look forward to
working with you to obtain a wastewater treatment and dispersal system which will be in
compliance with all regulations and assure protection of public health and the environment of
North Andover.

Re: Revised Septic Plans
303 Berry Street
Ms. Sawyer;
Enclosed are three (3) sets of the revised Septic Plans for the above referenced property
The following changes/revisions were made based on the review letter;
1) A scaled profile of the system has been added to Sheet 2
2) Percolation testing area has been added to Sheetl.
3) The location of the water line from the well to the house is shown on Sheet 1
4) Depths of the inlet/outlet tees are shown on Sheet 2.
5) There is no proposed septic effluent filter for the existing septic tank. The note has been removed from
the plan regarding the effluent filter.
6) The bottom of the Septic Tank elevation(92.58') is ABOVE the seasonal groundwater table
(90.93')....no buoyance calculation required.
7) The proposed septic tank has been noted to be `Watertight" on Sheet 2
8) On the system profile on Sheet 2 the first 2 feet out of Dbox noted to be level
9) A note has been added to the plan on Sheet 1 requiring the finished grade over the D-box to be at
Elevation 97.04' which is the required 9 inches.
10) A percolation rate of 15 MPI was used
11)A swale is shown along the property line since the proposed grading is within 5 feet
12) The 2:1 slope is only in areas with the HDPE barrier is being used. With a HDPE barrier you can
grade out at 2:1 beyond the barrier
13) The depth and layers of the Horizon A and Horizon B removal for the system installation has been
labeled on Sheet 2.
14)The area between the infiltrators has been changed to Title 5 sand instead of crushed stone
15) I contacted Infiltrator Systems, Inc and at this time there is no required training for DESIGN of
systems. Installers are still required to be certified.
16)The owner will record the required Deed Notice prior to Construction. Additionally,the owner will
provide written certification to the Board of Health to comply with Section 11(18) for alternative
systems.

calculations in sizing the conventional system are shown on Sheet 2.

Jack,
I was wrong, my reviewer has found a newer document from DEP dated June 6, 2013 that requires the items listed in
the review. | had not heard of these changes. Sn the related few items on the review stand aswritten.
As for the perc rate; I wouldn't generally round down, however I would do so in this specific case as it is such a slight
amount above, but Would require a large increase.
I appreciate your cooperation with these new rules that we have to comply with.
Let's talk on Monday. |wou|d like to move forward as soon as possible.

Hi Susan,
I received comments back OD303 Berry and the majority Ofth8CO0rOeOtG@[8fiO8...I@rD confused OO
|TerUG 15-17 stating that this 2O alternative system...I @Dl proposing infiltrators which is allowed for
1
general and remedial use...I dont believe this is an alternative system requiring the deed notice,
training notice, etc...am I missing something??
Otherwise I can easily address all the other issues...the only other thing was the 16 MPI
percolation...the 3 inch drop was in 46 minutes...which adjusts to 15.33 MPI...I rounded down to 15
MPI which is somewhat standard-it looks like the inspector rounded up to 16 MPI...I am not trying to
split hairs but typically it would be round down to 15 MPI..thoughts?

Susan/Lisa,
Attached is the disapproval letter for the above referenced property. A number edits required. Most notably the newer
standards for using Infiltrator Chambers. Ahavv major points are:
- Deed notice ie required (Remedial sites only)
- System owner acknowledgement
- Best feasible upgrade plan
We can discuss |n more detail ifneeded.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
