RE: Apparent Sewage Disposal System Inspection
Dear Mr.DeLisle:
The Northampton Board of Health was notified by Title 5 Inspector Richard Scott that a Wednesday May
21,2014 percolation test in anticipation of needed repairs to the septic system at 357 Coles Meadow
Road had been cancelled. We were notified because a local Public Health Agent is required to witness all
percolation tests and Soil Evaluations in the Commonwealth,and our appointment was now cancelled at
your request. Because there is no existing inspection report indicating that you have a Passed Title 5
inspection within the last 3 years,our department must assume that your subsurface sewage disposal
system fails to protect the public health and the environment as defined in Section 15.303 of CMR
15.000,State Environmental Code,Title 5.
Therefore,in accordance with the provisions of 310 CMR 15.000 of the State Environmental Code,Title 5,
and under authority of Massachusetts General Laws,Chapter 21A,Section 13,you(or the subsequent
owner of the property)are hereby ordered to repair the subsurface sewage disposal system at 357 Coles
Meadow Road,within two years of the date of the cancelled evaluation, (May 21, 2016). if further
degradation of the sewage disposal system occurs (e.g.sewage flowing to the surface of the ground),you
may be required to complete the repairs sooner.
All work to repair/upgrade your subsurface sewage disposal system must be performed by a licensed
sewage disposal system installer,in accordance with the requirements of 310 CMR 15.000,and with plans
approved by the Northampton Board of Health.
Please be advised that you are entitled to a hearing on this order to upgrade your subsurface sewage
disposal system,provided that you file a written petition requesting such a hearing in the Board of
health office within seven(7) days of the receipt of this notice.
Please feel free to contact the Board of Health office,at 587-1214,if you have any questions concerning
this matter.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Edmund Smit7, ealth Inspector,City of Northampton

Ed,
Thanks for your help on this one. I completed the In-Process inspection with you on 11-20-14, then I completed all the
As-Built measurements and checks on 11-25-14. As Built information is documented in the 11-25-14 revisions to the two
plan sheets. pdf scans are attached. Please let me know if you also will need me to mail you hard copies of these sheets.
With this documentation, I think you have all you need to issue the Certificate of Compliance and allow use of the upgraded
new system. If there is anything else you need from me, or if you have any questions, please email back or call me.
Rick Scott,
12-1-14.

OK.yes I specifically gave norm metallic tape and told him where to put it. Things are done. I expect that pipe got jiggled
when header was installed and 3/4 stone fell under it. Yes barrier installed and pits will b sent for your file. OK happy th
giving.

Hey Dave,
I have what I need to finish the as built documentation back to Northampton Health Dept.
Trees are 10 feet from field. Did you put the 40 mil root barriers in?
The ends and middles of the leach lines are right on. At the inlet ends,the North inlet is .05 feet high (5/8"). It'll function
as-is. Or fix it if you have a chance.
Need risers on all three septic tank covers.
1 didn't find metallic marker tape. WI!you put it on the field pipes and the pressure pipe?
In addition to the risers I asked you man to add 10"to the bottom of the inlet tee.
I left at 12:45 and I had not seen Dan from BofH. I left a message on Ed Smith's phone but he didn't call me back. I left
the signed copy of the Cert of Compliance in your truck. If Dan or Ed needs it,you will need to sign and get it to him.
Anything else?
Rick.

Everything OK I gather. Will b getting that system finished as far as covered and mulched. No finish polish unless weather
breaks before winter sets in. Dave
