Tom,
I reviewed your revised plan. Please see below.

Septic tank: depth of outlet tee: please put this onto the plarn.
• D-box: riser require, if more than 9" of cover: please put this onto the plan. I am not
understanding your math that you sent back. Please document the cover amount onto
the plan.
Your system is designed for 329.6 GPD. The minimum required flow is 330 GPD. I will not
sign off on a plan with less than the minimum required flow. As far as I know, there are no
`0
� r
�� variances allowed for going under the minimum flow required.

• Mike John's infiltrator certificate is required. If he does not have it, he can get it by
call ing:508-681-5261
Please re-submit the plan with all of the above requirements. I will not sign off-on the plan until
all noted above are on the plan. Please do not submit the plan without the above.requirements.
Thanks

Tom,
I sat down this morning going over your responses. Thanks for getting those back to me. Below
are my remaining questions/requirements:
i
/- Septic tank: air space (3" above tees, 9" below flow line)
These details could 'be spelled out. I was using the dimensions given in the detail to provide
the answer. The tank height is 67", the flow line is at 52", so 15" minus 6 of tee, minus 4
thick tank cover is over 3" of air above the tee. I can send you the manufacturer's engineering
diagrams.
• eptic tank: depth of outlet tee
You added the other details except I am not seeing these?
1 am specifying a manufactured outlet filter and tee combination. There are
several brands approved on the market. I am not sure which brand is going to be
chosen. But all approved brands meet this requirement. I specified against the
brand-with the check valve. Do I need to list all approved brands?
Oata for one perc: I am not in the office, so I will.ask Melissa to look up the previous peres. If
there is only one,you will need to schedule another perc to get the minimum required. If
there are two on file,you will need to add them to the plan.
I presented the information available to me. I will come down to your office to see if I can get
the original data from the approved perc tests.
(9 -Box: baffle or inlet tee- I.am not sure why this wouldn't apply? Please clarify.
■ (3)The distribution box shall conform to the following design specifications: (a)When the
soil absorption system is to be dosed or the slope of the inlet pipe exceeds 0.08 feet per
foot,an in tee, baffle or splash plate extending to one inch above the outlet invert
elevation shall be provided to dissipate the velocity of the influent.
Ah yes, dosed. I will add the tee requirement in a revision after we settle other issues.
• p-box: manhole required to grade if >9" cover. Can you clarify why this would not apply? If
there is not more than 9 of cover, please show me where to find that on the plan:
The d-box shown is 18" tall. There is 8" above the outlet invert, while there is 16" specified of
cover materials at that point. Therefore, the top of the d-box is 8" below grade.

OtLeaching requirements. I am not sure how we're both getting different numbers. If you need
o call me at some point to talk it over,that's fine. However, I'm multiplying 64 feet in length
-by 6.96 which was the effective leaching area that 1 found on the informational sheet for
Quick 4 Standard Infiltrators. If you're using different numbers, please let me know.
i
I found a persistent number in the spreadsheet that was locked. Now we are 4/10 of 1 gallon
below the code cutoff for this site. Is a variance a possibility, or do you require two extra
hambers, a 12.5% size increase to make up of the 1/100 of 1%shortfall?
Buoyancy Calculations for the pump tank. My original email said"the tank" so that probably
wasn't clear that I would need,the pump chamber too-that's my fault.
No problem. The pump tank float calculations is attached.

can certify him 1 believe over the phone.

Hi Tom,
I was able to find the info sheet on infiltrators so no need to send it to me. On the last
page,it,-answered,rri I y:question about-needing�an O&M contract,deed restriction,etc.
Infiltrators are exempt from that requirement.
Below are my notes 1from the review. Please make the corrections and bring the revised
plan to the office,and,I will pick it up. Please make sure the installer gets the revised
plan as well. As alw6ys,Imaybe:missing the below notes on the plan so please just
point me in the right direction if they're already on the plan.
• Schedule of pipe for building sewer(there is a note stating all pipes are SDR 35
unless otherwise noted-I didn't see another note for building sewer which is
I
required to be sched.40)
1 have added a note that all pipe from house to D-box shall be Schedule 40.
• Septic tank:tees extend 6" below flow line
I
Septic tank:inlet tee 10' below flow line
I
Septic tank:air space (3" above tees,9" below flow line)
Depth of outlet tee
The details have now been spelled out on the drawing.
• Buoyancy- because the tank will be within GW, please submit buoyancy
calculations
I am adding a separate calculation, attached.
• Perc test: approving authority and soil evaluator not listed on plan
Added
) niY see ee data for one perc?I'm a little confused.The original plan from
i
Maginnis new construction but your application says repair?Please clarify.
My plan calls for new construction. Sorry if it is incorrect elsewhere. I do not
have any additional information on the perc tests. A note elsewhere says there is
I
a file on this I at the Board of Health. Can I see that file?
• Dosing syst i im: number of dosing cycles/day
Attached is a calculation for the run time of this pump system. I prefer not to
confuse the(contractor with the calculations, but just require the control float
heights specified.
• Dosing system:required to be wired to separate circuit
i
• - I
i
The circuit wiring requirement is in small type in the Pump Detail.
i
• Dosing system:filter required prior to entering tank
The septic tank has an outlet filter.
I
• Location of wells within 200' or if none, a statement saying so
Added.
I
• Magnetic tape
In the Specifications, Part 3.
• D-box: minimum 6"sump
I have added a D-box detail.
• D-box: baffl f or inlet tee if slope is greater than .08
• D-box: manhole required to grade if>9" cover
These situations do not apply.
• Leaching requirements: please correct me if wrong but my math indicates 64
feet in length * 6.96(effective leaching area for quick 4 standard infiltrators) is
445.44 SF.You listed,445.94. Please clarify
I have tried do clarify the calculations, but my conclusions are not changed. Not
sure why the discrepancy.
Thank you. Please email me with any questions.Also,please note that 1 am only
available on Fridays therefore,when the plan is approved, please plan accordingly for
inspections.
