❑ ®
My portion of a cesspool or privy is within a Zone 1 of a public well.
❑ ® Any portion of a cesspool or privy is within 50 feet of a private water supply well.
❑ Z My portion of a cesspool or privy is less than 100 feet but greater than 50 feet
from a private water supply well with no acceptable water quality analysis. [This
system passes if the well water analysis, performed at a DEP certified
laboratory,for fecal conform bacteria indicates absent and the presence
of ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen is equal to or less than 5 ppm,
provided that no other failure criteria are triggered.A copy of the analysis
and chain of custody must be attached to this form.]
❑ ® The system is a cesspool serving a facility with a design flow of 2000gpd-
10,000gpd.
❑ ® The system fails. I have determined that one or more of the above failure
criteria exist as described in 310 CMR 15.303,therefore the system fails. The
system owner should contact the Board of Health to determine what will be
necessary to correct the failure.
E) Large Systems: To be considered a large system the system must serve a facility with a
design flow of 10,000 gpd to 15,000 gpd.
For large systems, you must indicate either"yes" or"no"to each of the following, in addition to the
questions in Section D.
Yes No
❑ ❑ the system is within 400 feet of a surface drinking water supply
❑ ❑ the system is within 200 feet of a tributary to a surface drinking water supply
❑ ❑ the system is located in a nitrogen sensitive area(Interim Wellhead Protection
Area—IWPA)or a mapped Zone II of a public water supply well
If you have answered"yes"to any question in Section E the system is considered a significant threat,
or answered"yes"in Section D above the large system has failed.The owner or operator of any large
system considered a significant threat under Section E or failed under Section D shall upgrade the
system in accordance with 310 CMR 15.304. The system owner should contact the appropriate
regional office of the Department.

Re: Sewage Disposal System Inspection @ 40 Hatfield St.
Gentleman:
The Northampton Board of Health is in receipt of a report on a sewage disposal system inspection conducted at
40 Hatfield St. Northampton by Matthew Bracci, on June 4,2008. That report indicates the following:
• Construction of a roadway on your property cut into the adjacent embankment and exposed the
leachfield portion of your septic system.
Based on Mr. Bracci's report your sewage disposal system has been classified as"passed-conditionally." In
order for the sewage disposal system to be classified as"passed," the following must occur:
• A qualified septic system designer must(within 30 days of the receipt of this notice) contact me at the
Board of Health office to set up an inspection of the damaged leach field, and then prepare a plan for
the repair of the damaged leachfield.
• That completed plan must then be submitted to the Board of Health in order to obtain a permit to
conduct the repair work.
• All septic repair work must be conducted by a licensed septic system installer.
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
notice.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.

Gentleman:
The Northampton Board of Health is in receipt of a report on a sewage disposal system inspection conducted at
40 Hatfield St. Northampton by Matthew Bracci, on June 4, 2008. That report indicates the following:
• Construction of a roadway on your property cut into the adjacent embankment and exposed a
portion of your septic system's leachfield.
Based on Mr. Bracci's report your sewage disposal system has been classified as "passed-conditionally." In
order for the sewage disposal system to be classified as"passed," the following must occur:
• A qualified septic system designer must(within 30 days of the receipt of this notice) contact me at the
Board of Health office to set up an inspection of the damaged leach field, and then prepare a plan for
the repair of the damaged leachfield.
• That completed plan must then be submitted to the Board of Health in order to obtain a permit to
conduct the repair work.
• All septic repair work must be conducted by a licensed septic system installer.
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
notice.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
Very truly yours,
Peter J. cErlain
