Re: Subsurface Sewage Disposal System Plan for Lot 16-8 Saracusa Way
(Map 61, Lot 16-8)
Dear Ms. Sawyer:
We have revised the plan to address your 6/10/2013 comments. To facilitate the review of
this information we have reproduced your comments, and our responses follow each
comment in blue italics.
1. Please reference the Lake Cochichewick watershed in the notes on sheet 2 (NA 3.2).
(Note 16 on Sheet 2 has been revised accordingly.)
2. Please demonstrate that a conventional system in compliance with 310 CMR 15.000
can be built on the site in order to use the Infiltrator Chamber system according to
Section 1(3) of the DEP General Use approval letter. An outline and brief description
of a conventional system on the site plan is sufficient. (The proof plan and
associated calculations have been added to Sheet 1.)
3. Please depict the percolation tests on the site plan (310 CMR 15.220(4)(i)). (The
Perc Test locations have been added to the Site Plan on Sheet 1.)
4. TP-40 was recorded with weeping water at 100"and the A layer extended to 9". A
copy of the Board of Health representative's field notes are enclosed for reference.
(The soil log for TP 40 has been revised to include the missing data.)
5. 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. (Note 5
has been added to the Distribution Box Detail on Sheet 2 to include this requirement.)
6. Please indicate the model/brands of the septic tank and distribution box(NA 3.2).
(The manufacturer and model numbers of the septic tank and distribution box have
been added to the details on Sheet 2.)
7. Please indicate the holder of the shared driveway easements located on the lot(310
CMR 15.220(4)(c)). (The owners of Lots 16-7 and 16-8 will be the holders of the
easement. General Note 18 has been added to Sheet 2 to include this information.)
8. The D-Box does not have a 2"drop between the inlet and outlets. It appears to be a
misprint but please modify accordingly. (The invert elevation of the outlet pipe has
been revised to provide the required 2"drop.)

Re: Subsurface Sewage Disposal System Plan for Lot 16-8 Saracusa Way
(Map 61,Lot 16-8)
Dear Mr. Christiansen,
The proposed wastewater system design plan for the above site dated April 29, 2013 and
received on May 3, 2013 has been reviewed. Unfortunately, the plan cannot be approved until
the following items are corrected. The specific section in Title 5: 310 CMR 15.000, or North
Andover regulation that is not met by this design follows each item.
1. Please reference the Lake Cochichewick watershed in the notes on sheet 2 (NA 3.2).
2. Please demonstrate that a conventional system in compliance with 310 CMR 15.000 can
be built on the site in order to use the Infiltrator Chamber system according to Section
1(3) of the DEP General Use approval letter. An outline and brief description of a
conventional system on the site plan is sufficient.
3. Please depict the percolation tests on the site plan(3 10 CMR 15.220(4)(i)).
4. TP-40 was recorded with weeping water at 100" and the A layer extended to 9". A copy
of the Board of Health representative's field notes are enclosed for reference.
5. 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. Please indicate the model/brands of the septic tank and distribution box (NA 3.2).
7. Please indicate the holder of the shared driveway easements located on the lot(3 10 CMR
15.220(4)(c))

Re: Your new home and your 4-bedroom septic system
Dear Resident,
Congratulations on your move to North Andover and on your new home. 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.

As the homeowner, we want you to be fully informed on how disposal systems work. 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. Feel free to contact us.

DO have your tank pumped out and system inspected every omnyears byalicensed septic contractor(listed mthe

DO keep a record of pumping,inspections,and other maintenance.Use the back page m this brochure to record
maintenance dates.

when full,avoid long showers,and use water-saving features in faucets,shower heads and toilets. �
DO learn the location of your septic system and drainfield.Keep a sketch of it handy for service visits.If your system has a
flow diversion valve,learn its location,and turn it once a year.Flow diverters can add many years to the life of your system.
DO divert roof drains and surface water from driveways and hillsides away from the septic system.Keep sump pumps and
house fooling drains away from the septic system oawell,
DO take leftover hazardous household chemicals to your approved hazardous waste collection center for disposal.Use
bleach,disinfectants,and drain and toilet bowl cleaners sparingly and In accordance with product labels.
DON'T allow anyone to drive or park over any part of the system,The area over the drainfield should be left undisturbed
with only a mowed grass cover.Roots from nearby trees or shrubs may clog and damage your drain lines.

Attachments: 201405270957.pdf
Good Morning Michael,
I returned today from a week off and became aware of a situation at Stanton Way. 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.
Thank you,
Susan
