was performed based on my training and experience in the proper function and maintenance of on site
sewage disposal systems. I am a DER approved system inspector pursuant to Section 15.340 of
Title 5 (310 CMR 16.000). The system:

p6ctoor's-signae6re Date
The system inspector shall submit a copy of this inspection report to the Approving Authority (Board
of Health or DEP)within 30 days of completing this inspection. If the system is a shared system or
has a design flow of 10,000 gpd or greater,the inspector and the system owner shall submit the
report to the appropriate regional office of the DER The original should be sent to the system owner
and copies sent to the buyer, if applicable, and the approving authority.
""This report only describes conditions at the time of inspection and under the conditions of use
at that time. This inspection does not address how the system will perform in the future under

2. System will fail unless the Board of Health (and Public Water Supplier, if any)
determines that the system is functioning in a manner that protects the public health,
safety and environment:
❑ The system has septic tank and soil bsorption system (SAS) and the SAS is within
100 feet of a surface wate supply or tributary o a surface water supply.
❑ The system has a s tic tank and S and the SAS is within a Zone 1 of a public water
supply.
❑ The system has a sepi tank and S S and the SAS is within 50 feet of a private water
supply well.
❑ The system has a septic tank an SAS an the SAS is less than 100 feet but 50 feet or
more from a private water supply ell'*.
Method used to determine distance.
** This system passes if the well water ana sis, performed at a DEP certified laboratory, for coliform
bacteria indicates absent and the presenc f ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen is equal to or
less than 5 porn, provided that no other f lur criteria are triggered.A copy of the analysis must be
attached to this form.
3. Other:
D) System Failure Criteria Applicable to All Systems:
You must indicate "Yes" or"No"to each of the following for all inspections:
Yes No
❑ 5T Backup of sewage into facility or system component due to overloaded or
clogged SAS or cesspool
❑ Discharge or ponding of effluent to the surface of the ground or surface waters
due to an overloaded or clogged SAS or cesspool
❑ aa,,e Static liquid level in the distribution box above outlet invert due to an overloaded
or clogged SAS or cesspool

B. Certification
Yes No
❑ Required pumping more than 4 times in the last year NOT due to clogged or
obstructed pipe(s), Number of times pumped:
❑ Any portion of the SAS, cesspool or privy is below high ground water elevation.
❑ Any portion of cesspool or privy is within 100 feet of a surface water supply or
tributary to a surface water supply.
❑ E� Any portion of a cesspool or privy is within a Zone 1 of a public well.
❑ Any portion of a cesspool or privy is within 50 feet of a private water supply well.
❑ Any portion of a cesspool or privy is less than 100 feet but greater than 50 feet
from a private water supply well with no acceptable water quality analysis. [This
system passes if the well water analysis, performed at a DEP certified
laboratory,for fecal coliform bacteria indicates absent and the presence
of ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen is equal to or less than 5 ppm,
provided that no other failure criteria are triggered.A copy of the analysis
and chain of custody must be attached to this form.]
❑ The system is a cesspool serving a facility with a design flow of 2000gpd-
10,000gpd.
❑ The system fails. I have determined that one or more of the above failure
criteria exist as described in 310 CMR 15.303, therefore the system fails, The
system owner should contact the Board of Health to determine what will be
necessary to correct the failure.
E) Large Systems: To be considered a large system the system must serve a facility with a
design flow of 10,000 gpd to 15,000 gpd.
For large systems, you must indicate either" es" or"no"to each of the following, in addition to the
questions in Section D.
Yes No
❑ ❑ the system is with 400 feet of a surface drinking water supply
❑ ❑ the system is wit n 00 feet of a tributary to a surface drinking water supply
❑ ❑ the system is io ted in a nitrogen sensitive area (Interim Wellhead Protection
Area—IWPA) a ma ped Zone II of a public water supply well
If you have answered "yes"to any estion in Section E the system is considered a significant threat,
or answered "yes" in Section D ab a the larg system has failed. The owner or operator of any large
system considered a significant t eat under S ction E or failed under Section D shall upgrade the
system in accordance with 310 R 15.304. T e system owner should contact the appropriate
regional office of the Departme t.

❑ 2 Were any of the system components pumped out in the previous two weeks?
❑ Has the system received normal flows in the previous two week period?
❑ Have large volumes of water been introduced to the system recently or as part of
this inspection?
Eel ❑ Were as built plans of the system obtained and examined? (If they were not
available note as N/A)
❑ Was the facility or dwelling inspected for signs of sewage back up?
❑ Was the site inspected for signs of break out?
❑ Were all system components, excluding the SAS, located on site?
❑ Were the septic tank manholes uncovered, opened, and the interior of the tank
inspected for the condition of the baffles or tees, material of construction,
dimensions, depth of liquid, depth of sludge and depth of scum?
❑ Was the facility owner(and occupants if different from owner) provided with
information on the proper maintenance of subsurface sewage disposal systems?
The size and location of the Soil Absorption System (SAS) on the site has
been determined based on:
LI ❑ Existing information. For example, a plan at the Board of Health.
Ile ❑ Determined in the field (if any of the failure criteria related to Part C is at issue
approximation of distance is unacceptable)[310 CMR 15.302(5)]
