Northampton, MA 01060
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Johnson:
In response to your inquiry concerning the adequacy of the existing septic system at your
property at 11 Turkey Hill Rd. please be advised of the following:
Sewage disposal capacity is based on the number of bedrooms in a dwelling. Your current
dwelling has three bedrooms, and your septic system consists of a 1250 gallon septic tank and a
500 gallon leach pit. The proposed addition would not change the total number of bedrooms in
the dwelling as one bedroom is being eliminated in order to make space for a stairwell and a two
room, (one bedroom), addition.
Therefore based on the requirements of Title 5 of the State Environmental Code your existing
septic system would continue to provide adequate sewage disposal capacity after the addition is
completed.
Please feel free to contact me if you require additional information.
Since ly,
Peter J. McErlain
Health Agent
