This letter and t survey is intended to be sent to the residents of Baker's and Tinker's Island. This is a summary of that conversation: 1. Dave liked the letter and survey form. 2. There are composting toilets available that do not need electricity. 3. The composting toilet/gray water system is approved for remedial use with existing properties. 4. With this system there may be a 40%reduction in the size of the leaching field. 5. The minimum size of the tank, according to TideV, is 1500 gallons. However, Dave thinks that a 500 gallon tank with this system would be appropriate. In order to use that size tank, the DEP must grant a variance. 6. Each system still needs to have deep hole analysis and perc tests in accordance with Title V. 7. Dave reccommends the use of a fiberglass tank. 8. A Clivus Mulchim system requiring no tank is under investigation by the DEP. 9. The property owner should submit plans prepared by a registered PE or RS. It is a conflict for our department to design a plan since we are the approving authority. from the desk oL..

Martha has power of attorney for her mother's affairs, and I am helping her in these matters. Martha's mother is Anna Nicholson of 22 Buffum Street in Salem. Martha can be reached at 3 Susan Road in Marblehead (617-631-2236) if you wish to contact her. You asked me to put into writing our situation regarding selling the Nicholson cottage at Baker's Island. Mrs. Nicholson needs to sell the cottage in order to pay for her"caregiving" expenses. She is 90 and is suffering from dementia. If we have to install a septic system before the house is sold, it will be a heavy expense, because the expense of transporting equipment and materials will have to be bome by just Mrs. Nicholson. If the installation can be postponed until there is an agreed upon plan for installing or upgrading ISDS's at Baker's, then, I believe that many people will want to share these expenses. This will significantly reduce the expense to each person. The "amendment" to the recent Title 5 changes that allows new owners two years to bring a system up to code would allow the new owner of the Nicholson cottage to do this work along with others at Baker's Island. Therefore, I propose that Mrs. Nicholson be allowed to sell her house without having an approved ISDS. As a condition of the sale, the new owners will sign an "enforceable agreement"with the City of Salem to install within two years, an ISDS (or combination composting toilet and "gray"water system) that conforms to the "agreed upon" Bakers' Island plan. Yours very truly, k 1# Richard Allphin cc Martha Allphin kk Communication Report A'.WW . �� ti SALEM HEALTH SEP 11 195 . 08: 13 AM t,�'.i,:o�#AYkA A:A AA k*ii:1i#.k kAt M:i:A YW V.IV::NA:K.NAttA:A:AY:ktY.tt:l:Y'.WiAl:*A:k*W:AR.W.W*#*A:**AA#:%A:N:Y.N:N�:N YA:Y i.N��X:N W:},N:N MODE REMOTE TERMINAL ID.

Because of its unique design - the leaching surface has an S-curve configuration - The Eljen In-Drain System requires approximately 40% less trench than the aggregate leach field or a chamber leach field. In those states where a primary and reserve area must be provided, the use of the Eljen In-Drain System will reduce the amount of space needed for the primary and reserve area by 50%. For heavily-wooded building lots, fewer trees must be cut down for the leach field. The Eljen In-Drain System is only 6 inches in height. This characteristic can provide great savings where mound installations are required. Over 50% less fill is needed than would be necessary in any other type of mound leach fields. Solution to "Problem" Sites • Lack of space for leach field • Low percolation soils •Difficult terrain •Failed leach field • High watertable Superiority of Operation • The biotechnical fabric of the Eljen In-Drain has 6 times the surface area for the clogging layer to form than the surface area of the soil under a chamber leach field, and 5 times the surface area of the soil under a stone leach field. This provides a greater safety factor against failure. • A thinner clogging layer forms on the biotechnical fabric of the Eljen In-Drain than on the soil under either the stone leach filed or a chamber leach field. • Pre-treatment of the effluent occurs with the Eljen In-Drain, as the biomat clogging layer forms inside the biotechnical fabric, and not on the soil under the stone leach field or chamber leach field. This is environmentally more sound. • With the Eljen In-Drain, the soil is completely protected against clogging failure which is not the case with the stone leach field or the chamber leach field. • The effluent from the Eljen In-Drain System is accepted by soil 3-10 times faster than with the stone leach field or a chamber leach field. • The Eljen In-Drain System is designed for the long-term acceptance rate, which is to operate indefinitely; while other leach fields are designed for a 15 to 30 year average life expectancy. A Technical Report which provides the explanation for these statements is available from Eljen Corporation.

Cost Cost competitive with conventional drainage systems a. Needs no aggregate; what is excavated is returned as backfill b. No trucks and equipment needed to bring aggregate to installation site and haul away excavated material. c. No labor needed to place aggregate in trench, reducing labor needed. d. Rapid installation permits more footage of installation with less equipment and workers. e. Costs known in advance, no need to estimate costs of aggregate, trucks, labor costs, or time which tend to escalate during installation as in other systems. 2. Effectiveness i No clogging occurs; retains its effectiveness indefinitely. a. Measurement of drainage outflow for ten years shows no reduction. b. If proper placement of aggregate in conventional drainage not obtained, clogging will eventually occur. 3. Superiority in Use ` Advantages of the Eljen Drainage System which cannot be claimed by any other system. a. Sloughing slopes - least difficult and least expensive installation compared to other procedures. b. Waterlogged soil. - rapid installation before trench collapses. c. Deep trenches - easier and faster to install by lowering connected units into trench. d. Stratified soil - can be effectively drained because of vertical fin. e. Non-homogeneous soil - will not clog Eijen System. f. Narrow trenches - can be easily installed. 4. Government Testing Federal Highway Administration tested drainage systems as reported in 75-4 Implementation.Package: a. States "The Eljen Curtain Drain performed well in fine soils." (The most difficult to drain.) No other tested drainage system was evaluated in this manner.
