Lot 117 Bakers Island Dear Sir or Madam, This notification has been sent to all abutters of the aforementioned property on Bakers Islands to announce that the owner is seeking a variance to the Title V (Septic System) regulations from the Salem Board of Health. Specifically, the owner desires to perform a remedial upgrade of the existing system to service the one bedroom seasonal cottage. There is no water or electricity on the site. The upgrade would consist of connecting the existing mulching toilet (Biolet) and the sink and shower drains to a grey water disposal,system with a septic tank and soil absorption system (leachfield). The need for a variance is triggered by the fact that the subsoils are only 24-28" deep on the property and according to 310 CMR 15240 (1), four feet of natural material is required. In requesting a variance in accordance to 310 CMR 15.415 (2) we are stating that there are no economically feasible alternatives, there are no areas on the property or adjacent properties that have four feet of soil, and that the groundwater elevation and soil profiles have been determined and incorporated into the design criteria. Therefore, in accordance with 15.410 (1) (b), the proposed composting toilet, which eliminates solids from the system and greywater treatment by a full sized (Area) Soil Absorption System enables a level of environmental protection at least equivalent to that provided under 310 CMR 15.000. The request for variance will be on the agenda of the Salem Board at Health meeting Tuesday, January 12, 1999 at 7:30 P.M. and will be open for discussion. Please call if you have any questions.

I have reviewed the letter dated January 7, 1999 concerning deficiencies in the submittal for the Remedial Upgrade and Variance requested for the Steve Willard property on Bakers Island. As described in the letter of September 10, 1998, and November 24, 1998 we are requesting a variance to the regulation 310 CMR 15.240 (1) which requires a 4' separation to groundwater. Since the site has only 28" of soil on ledge and groundwater was found at 26-28" down it is not possible or economically feasible to achieve a four foot separation to groundwater. The septic system design includes an existing Biolet mulching toilet and grey water treatment The design is non] -conforming because of site conditions and a Variance is requested in accordance with 310 CMR 15.415 (2). In response to the issues raised, the blueprint had been changed since the initial submittal in response to Mr. Fair's previous comments of October 6, 1998 and subsequent discussion, so some of the items noted (1-14) have been changed already. Specifically; 1. The modified Plan has been stamped by our sanitary engineer David L. Bramley P.E. 428098. 2. The Plan does not show topography and the site has not been surveyed. The thick scrub -cat claw, viburnum and poison ivy would make surveying very difficult. The only cleared area is the 63'x50' area around the house which is relatively level where the proposed leachfield is located and has a moderate slope -toward the ocean on each side. 3. There is no benchmark on the Plan because no survey was conducted. A benchmark will be set for construction of the system. 4. The Plan view was drawn to relative scale for the Title V inspection report. The site was only visited once before the docks were removed for fall. The pertinent dimensions and distances are shown on the plan. Ms. Joanne Scott Page 2 January 8, 1999 5. The site property covers two contiguous lots #117 and #118 which are now shown on the Plan. The septic system is located on Lot 9117 and is bordered by Lot 4118. 6. Because of limited access the septic tank is specified to be prefabricated plastic with a sealed top and bottom draw -off. 7. A certified soil evaluator did not visit the site, however soil samples were taken and analyzed for grain size to determine classification and derived LTAR (Long Term Application Rate). The percolation tests were also conducted to observe actual soil conditions. 8. The observed groundwater is shown in the soil logs at 26" down. 9. The soil logs are shown on the Plan. 10. The hydraulic profile is shown on the plan and relative distances and slopes shown. The inverts are not specified because it is not known how deep the septic tank will be placed since ledge is present. We could provide inverts but it will change in the field. 11. We will note the variances requested on the Plan. 12. The soil absorption system was designed as a leachfield (not trenchs) based upon contiguous Class II materials and PVC distribution lines bedded in stone. There is less than desirable cover over the leaching pipes, due to limiting soil cover on the site. The two inch layer of peastone was inadvertently not shown over the leachpipe stone. This will be added to the Plan. 13. The design flow calculations are based upon the minimum (330 gpd) which would be for a three bedroom dwelling. This seasonal residence has only one bedroom and no running water. All water is hand carried to the site (no road) so that actual water use is very limited and likely to be less than 50 gpd. If the design were based upon 110 gpd, the septic tank would have a four day retention time and the leach trench calculations you provided (276 sf @ 0.60 gpd/s1) would equal 165 gpd SAS loading or 50% extra capacity. 14. The request for a variance was made in writing on November 24, 1998, a copy of the letter is enclosed. Abutters have already been notified twice by certified mail. w Ms. Joanne Scott Page 3 January 8, 1999 I hope these comments have answered your questions. Overall, I feel that the requests for details and strict Title V compliance are excessive this process considering the following; 1. Because of the mulching toilet this is grey water system not a full scale septic system. 2. The site conditions, (shallow soil over ledge), dense thicket vegetation, etc., cause the system to be non -conforming. 1 It is a seasonal residence on an island without electricity, road access or running water. Please call if you have any questions on this material. We still would like to present this information at the Board of Health meeting scheduled for Tuesday 1/12/99, and discuss the alternatives.

The original site notes taken did have relative elevations and dimensions for the structure, cesspool and yard that have been incorporated into the plan as a benchmark and a hydraulic profile of the system. The surrounding thicket is impenetrable and was not measured. The variance request is noted on the plan as is the groundwater elevation. The design flows are derived further and the leachfield cross section amended. In regards to the soil evaluation we have retained Churck Johnson of David Clark Inc., to review the existing data and revisit the site when weather permits to confirm the key elements in design: 1. The distance to groundwater, 2. Soil Classification, and 3. Percolation rate, before any installation. We would however, respectfully request a tentative or conditioned decision by the Board of Health so that we may file with DEP for the variance to 15.240 (1) and receive any comments/changes before spring.

Is documentation in support of meeting these requirements attached? ® Yes ❑ No You must complete the following: a) I have established that enforcement of the provision from which a variance is sought would be manifestly unjust, considering all of the relevant facts and circumstance of this case, as follows: The site conditions do not permit 4' separation because there is only 26-28" of soil over ledge. The one bedroom seasonal cottage has no electrictty�or water road access and fill is not available on the island. ;Adjacent land has a steep slope and even less soil, the groundwater on the site may be transcient during (use and attach additional sheets, as necessary) dry periods. b) I have established that a level of environmental protection that is at least equivalent to that provided under 310 CMR 15.000 can be achieved without strict application of the provision(s) from which I am seeking a variance as follows: The dwelling has a Biolet mulching toilet and the prop sed remedial upgrade deals with the treatment of grey water by a septic tank and leachfield SAS. Because groundwater is at ledge and the separation distance limited the leachfield is full sized not60% of design flow as allowed in 15.289 ('t)_ The system has been placed high on Lot #117 and a reserve area is present downgradient of the leachfield.

The original site notes taken did have relative elevations and dimensions for the structure, cesspool and yard that have been incorporated into the plan as a benchmark and a hydraulic profile of the system. The surrounding thicket is impenetrable and was not measured. The variance request is noted on the plan as is the groundwater elevation. The design flows are derived further and the leachfield cross section amended. In regards to the soil evaluation we have retained Churck Johnson of David Clark Inc., to review the existing data and revisit the site when weather permits to confirm the key elements in design: 1. The distance to groundwater, 2. Soil Classification, and 3. Percolation rate, before any installation. We would however, respectfully request a tentative or conditioned decision by the Board of Health so that we may file with DEP for the variance to 15.240 (1) and receive any comments/changes before spring.

Box 848 • Salem, Massachusetts 01970 • Telephone: 978-745-4569 • Fax: 978-745-4881 October 19, 1998 Ms. Joanne Scott Board of Health 9 North Street Salem, MA 01970 Re: Steve Willard Title V Plan Dear Ms. Scott, I have prepared this correspondence to address the comments prepared by Mr. Fair and further delineate the site conditions at the Willard property. The Title V upgrade plan submitted was preliminary in that the site is non -conforming according to 310 CMR 15.415 (2) and (3) and at the same time is grandfathered because it was installed in 1960 for seasonal use and this upgrade is not the result of an expansion of facilities, change of use or refinancing. This application requests a Remedial Upgrade pursuant to 310 CMR 15.280 to 15.289 to install a proper septic system and leachfield for the greywater discharge. The purpose of the 1995 amendment was to expedite the upgrade of provisional systems on a voluntary basis by property owners. This is particularly necessary for older systems that may not have sufficient area or depth to groundwater available for conventional treatment. The regulation section 15_284 and 15.405 stipulates that remedial use of an alternative system can be permitted by the local Board of Health, so long as they are satisfied that full compliance is not feasible and the upgrade represents a cost effective solution that will have the least effect on public health, safety and the environment. Because of the above conditions the design should not require a variance or DEP approval. Section 15.405 was revised to include that the local Board of Health has the obligation to consider "not only physical possibility as dictated by the conditions of the site, but also the economic feasibility of the upgrade costs" in determining whether full compliance is feasible. The pertinant sections of the regulations have been attached to this letter for your review. Specifically in Section 15.289 (3) (a) "Humus/Composr_ne Toilets' are certified for remedial use subject to the following conditions, 1. There shall be no liquid discharge or the liquid by-product is discharged through a greywater system. 2. Grey water discharge systems shall consist of a septic tank and a leaching facility designed to ., accommodate 60% of t:hs facility design flow. (PJiilard two bedroom design flow = 220 gpd). Ms. Joanne Scott October 19, 1998 Page 2 In response to the comments by Mr. Fair, I agree that it would be desirable to have a 3-4 foot separation . to groundwater, but it is not economically feasible at this site to conform to these requirements. There is no road to the site, only a path, and there is no electricity for other technologies. The site and surrounding properties have shallow soil 1-3' and there is no fill on the island. Because of the shallow soils a second leachfield area is being held in reserve. (Test Pit A). The installation of 2-3 feet of fill would also require retaining walls and construction since the grade slopes rapidly behind and in front of the house and rain or runoff could cause substantial erosion to the protected inlets. If the system concept is being considered we will gladly submit additional plans if requested. The design and schematics have already been certified and stamped by a professional Sanitary Engineer, David L. Bramley #7639 and represent what we feel is the remedial action necessary for the specific site conditions. Please review this information and call if you have any questions. I would request that we be scheduled for a future Board of Health meeting and if necessary request a variance to 310 CMR 15.240 (1) under the provisions of 310 CMR 15.415 (2) (3). It is my interpretation that the regulations allow the Board of Health to grant this remedial upgrade on their own, without a public hearing or DEP approval. Very truly yours, SP Engineering, Inc. VA Bruce M. Poole President BMP/sm CC: Martin Fair 15 other system failures are discovered during upgrade of that component(s), such other system failures shall be upgraded in accordance with 310 CMR 15.405. 15.405: Contents of Local Upgrade Approval (1) In granting local upgrade approvals pursuant to 310 CMR 15.404(2) where full compliance as defined in 310 CMR 15.404(1) is not feasible, the local approving authority shall consider the impact of the propose& system and shall vary to the least degree necessary the requirements of 310 CMR 15.100- 15.293 so as to allow for both the best feasible upgrade within the borders of the lot, and have the least effect on public health, safety and the environment. The local approving authority is allowed to diverge from the goal of ,! full compliance only to the extent necessary to achieve a y� feasible upgrade. In determining whether full compliance is feasible, the approving authority should appropriately consider not only physical possibility as dictated by the conditions of the site, but also the economic feasibility of the upgrade costs. The approving authority should emphasize protection of water resources and treatment of the sanitary sewage. Absent conditions which would result in a different outcome based on best professional judgment, the options set forth below should be considered in the order in which they appear with (a) being the first option to be considered and rejected or adopted and (i) being the last option to be considered and rejected or adopted: (No change in balance of section] Guide to Revisions 2. govember, 1995 g.

Box 848 a Salem, Massachusetts 01970 • Telephone: 978-745-4569 • Fax: 978-745-4881 September 10, 1998 Ms. Joanne Scott Board of Health 9 North Street Salem, MA 01970 Re: Title 5 Inspection Steve Willard, Baker's Island Dear Ms. Scott, I have prepared this package on behalf of Steve Willard, to document existing conditions and the proposed remedial upgrade for property on the Northeast corner of Baker's Island. The Title 5 inspection consisted of a visual identification of all sewer and drainage appurtenances, test pits to ledge, percolation rate testing, soil analysis and site measurement. The conclusions are based upon these observations and generally accepted engineering practices. The septic system at the property consists of a dry cesspool, which has structurally failed. The facilities were upgraded last year with a composting toilet and the only discharge at this time is greywater from sink, showers and laundry which does not pass through the cess pool. There is no garbage disposal in the one bedroom, —600 sq. ft.; seasonal use dwelling constructed in 1962. This application requests a Remedial Upgrade pursuant to 310 CMR 15,280 to 15.289 to install a proper septic system and leachfield for the greywater discharge. The purpose of the 1995 amendment was to expedite the upgrade of provisional systems on a voluntary basis by property owners. This is particularly necessary for older systems that may not have sufficient area or depth to groundwater available for conventional treatment. The regulation section 15,284 and 15,405 stipulates that remedial use of an alternative system can be permitted by the local Board of Health, so long as they are satisfied that full compliance is not feasible and the upgrade represents a cost effective solution that will have the least effect on public health, safety and the environment. In this particular case the distance to groundwater on ledge is only 24-28" and limited land area is available. The design is based upon a standard sized septic tank (for 2 bedrooms) and subsurface absorption system (SAS, leachfield) for the greywater discharge. Ms. Joanne Scott September 10, 1998 Page 2 The Biolet composting toilet currently in place is an approved alternative technology which eliminates solids loading. The existing cess pool would be cleaned and filled in to decommission and the area of Test Pit A would remain open as reserve leachfield capacity. We feel this combination of alternative and conventional technology will adequately protect the public health and environment. Please review the inspection report and remedial upgrade plans and call if you have any questions. Very truly yours, SP Engineering, Inc. Bruce M.

There is no water or electricity on the site. The upgrade would consist of connecting the existing mulching toilet (Biolet) and the sink and shower drains to a grey water disposal system with a septic tank and soil absorption system (leach6eld). The need for a variance is triggered by the fact that the subsoils are only Z4-28" deep on the property and according to 310 CMR 15.240 (1), four feet of natural material is required. In requesting a variance in accordance to 310 CMR 15.415 (2) we are stating that there are no economically feasible alternatives. there are no areas on the property or adjacent properties that have four feet of soil, and that the groundwater elevation and soil profiles have been determined and incorporated into the design criteria. Therefore, in accordance with 15.410 (1) (b), the proposed composting toilet. which eliminates solids from the system and greywater treatment by a full sized (Area) Soil absorption System enables a level of environmental protection at least equivalent to that provided under 310 CMR 15-000. The request for variance will be on the agenda of the Salem Board at Health meeting Tuesday. December S. 1998 at 7-;0 P.\'1. and will be open for discussion. Please call if you have any questions.
