Please add a note to the plan to indicate that a riser to within 6 inches of finish grade is required above the distribution box if greater than 9 inches below grade. 6.

The North Andover Health Department has overseen the design approvals and installation of the septic system on your property and believes that it is important that you understand the details of the system that services your home. Enclosed is information on how to care for your septic system and notification of restrictions in case you intend on finishing additional spaces, which are currently designated as "unfinished space", in your home. The house plans that were submitted prior to construction of your home show multiple unfinished areas, but this system can only serve a 4-bedroom home (maximum 9-room). A home with this sized system,which as defined by the MA Department of Protection regulations 310 CMR 15.000,will have a maximum of a 9 rooms in total (not including bathrooms; laundry rooms etc). Therefore, according to our file, your home is currently at its maximum capacity in room number. This assumes you did not finish more than the plans originally identified. If you have gone over the approved number, a violation to MA DEP code may already exist. The multiple unfinished areas in your home are allowed by state code and are not counted until finished. The inclusion of this amount of square footage, as unfinished space, was discussed with your builder. The Green Co. chose to inform homeowners upon purchase,that if you plan on finishing any of the areas for living space, above the 9-rooms, the expansion of the septic system and the compliance with the code will be done by the new homeowner. No building permits,to finish additional rooms, will be supported unless compliance is achieved. If at any time you do plan to inhabit any of these multiple unfinished areas,please contact our office and we will be happy to discuss the options with you.

The document provided will help you care for your system. You can also access numerous guides to assist you on the MA DEP website, http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/massdep/that will help you maintain your system in good working order, so it will protect you and the environment for many years to come. Finally, it is important to note that this septic system is not designed for use with a garbage grinder. Installation of a garbage grinder will cause damage to your septic system and will void any guarantees for its proper service by the septic installer from the date you install the grinder. We hope you are enjoying your new home in North Andover. The Health Department staff members are here to answer your questions on septic systems or any other Public Health related subject.

My staff received inquiry regarding the property known as lot 8 Stanton Way. Specifically,the total number of rooms in the home and the flow capacity of the septic system.We were told that a realtor is representing this home as having 10 rooms; with the ability to expand to 11.The attached building sign off, as well as septic approval, identify this as a 4-bedroom (max 9-room) home. Please advise your realtor that you chose not to have a deed restriction and that they may not advertise the home in this manner as it is false representation.The caller was given this information as well.
