Form 9A - Application for Local Upgrade Approval
Required by 310 CMR 15.403(1)
Form 9A is to be submitted to the Local Board of Health for the upgrade of a failed or nonconforming
septic system with a design flow of less than 10,000 gpd, where full compliance, as defined in 310 CMR
5.404(1), is not feasible.
System upgrades that cannot be performed in accordance with 310 CMR 15.404 and 15.405, or in full
compliance with the requirements of 310 CMR 15.000, require a variance pursuant to 310 CMR 15.410
through 15.417.
NOTE. Local upgrade approval shall not be granted for an upgrade proposal that includes the addition of
a new design flow to a cesspool or privy, or the addition of a new design flow above the existing approved
capacity of a septic system constructed in accordance with either the 1978 Code or 310 CMR 15.000.

❑ Other requirements of 310 CMR 15.000 that cannot be met—describe and specify sections of the
Code:
If the proposed upgrade involves a reduction in the required separation between the bottom of the soil
absorption system and the high groundwater elevation, an Approved Soil Evaluator must determine the
high groundwater elevation pursuant to 310 CMR 15.405(1)(1)(1). The soil evaluator must be a member
or agent of the local approving authority.

C. Explanation
Explain why full compliance, as defined in 310 CMR 15.404(1), is not feasible (Each section must be
completed)
1. An upgraded system in full compliance with 310 CMR 15.000 is not feasible:
Fill soil absorption system required, if located in front yard with impervious baffler, even at 3 ft.
separation, system located at street line, if in back yard, located at set back, system fill eliminates
functional use of back yard if in back yard.
2. An alternative system approved pursuant to 310 CMR 15.283 to 15.288 is not feasible:
no alternate available
3. A shared system is not feasible:
all lots are small in vicinity of site, likely all have high groundwater
4. Connection to a public sewer is not feasible:
Public sewer does not serve Dunphy Road
