'ER J.McERLAIN,Health Agent (413)587-1214 FAX(413)587-1264 July 29, 1998 Ms. Roxanna Glynn 686 Westhampton Road Florence, MA 01062 CITY OF NORTHAMPTON MASSACHUSETTS 01060 OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH Re: Status of the Septic System at 686 Westhampton Road Dear Ms. Glynn: 210 MAIN STREET NORTHAMPTON,MA 01080 You have requested a statement from the Board of Health on the status of your septic system at 686 Westhampton Road,Florence. While a formal Title 5 Septic System Inspection has not been conducted, I have observed the condition of your septic system and found that it is not in compliance with Title 5 of the State Environmental Code. On September 25, 1997 I witnessed a percolation test on your property, conducted by Dan Nitzsche of Howard Environmental Services. During that test the existing septic system was inspected and it was found that a pipe from the septic tank ran into the adjacent pond/wetland area on your property. Such a condition constitutes a violation of Title 5 and in effect causes your septic system to be listed as failed. To date, a new Septic System Plan has been prepared and the Board of Health has issued Septic Repair Permit. Once the new septic system has been installed the Board of Health will inspection the new system and issue a Certificate of Compliance. Please contact me at the Board of Health office with any questions concerning this matter. Sincerely, Peter J. McErlain,Health Agent HOWARD ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES TITLE 5 SPECIALISTS 750 NORTH PLEASANT STREET,REAR AMHERST,MA 01002 PHONE:(413)256-8008 FAX:(413)549-1850 Northampton Board of Health City Hall 210 Main Street Northampton, MA 01060 Dear Board: On September 30, 1998 as a representative of Howard Environmental Services I inspected the septic system at 686 Westhampton Road (Route 66), at the property of Roxanna Glynn The system was Stalled by John F.
