NOTES MID COMMENTS The first inspection was done in March when the'ID—Box was located/inspected and the second in July- On the first date the septic tank was inspected and measurements taken of the sludge blanket and scum layer. In doing this inspection the following items were noted: 1. color/texture of the sludge was odd, 2. the lack of a scum layer and 3. Infiltration through seams of collars 4. odd installation of influent vT' not level runs up hill. The only recorded record of pumping for this system at the B of H occurred in June of 1999. Inspection of the effluent°T" could not be done because of the tank's depth of about 5 feet. With the aid of mechanical means of uncovering the influent T this inspection would be done at a later date(July). During this delay a reason for the odd appearance of the sludge was initiated. Discussions with the previous owner,who continued to reside in the house(divorce)until the end of May 2000. From these discussions it was ascertained that the house well water quality was such that it required treatment(filtering),which required frequent back washing of the filter media. The back wash residue was directed into the septic system. A second pumping of the septic tank occurred in December of 1999. Both pumpings'were prompted by blockage between house and the septic tank. The filter backwashing is the reason for the odd color of the sludge. The house has a garbage grinder in the kitchen. The house has 5 bedrooms while the design of the septic system is for only four bedrooms. This makes the soil absorption area inadequate according Northampton Title 5 regulations. Area available 660 sg st In discussing the above noted irregularities with Peter McErlain health agent for the Board of Health,the following actions are area required 825 sg st. required. 1. the removal of the filter back wash from the septic system 2. a deed restriction be put in the deed banning the installation of a garbage grinder in the house, and 3. removal of the one that exists. While the soil absorption system showed no signs of failure,the existence of a garbage grinder, 5 bedrooms on a system the Isoil absorption system discharge he extent of such imhpact on the life of the soil absorptionllsystem is pureespeculati non impact on the life Removal of the filter backwash residue and the removal of the garbage grinder will allow the soil absorption system to retain a somewhat more normal life. This abuse was for 2 h years out of a normal expectancy of 20 to 25 years. In addition the installation of an effluent°T'filter on the septic outlet may recover some of the We lost from the earlier abuses of the system. The sealing off of the joints on the collars above the septic tank removes the extraneous flow that was allowed to enter the system during wet weather events. The septic tank should be pumped out every 1 5 to 2 years depending on the occupancy of the house and activity of water using devises. Limiting washing of clothes to 2 per day, spacing out of other high water use activity showering,automatic dishwashers (not done concurrently)can prevent hydraulic overloading of a septic absorption system to avoid premature failure. revised 9/2/98 eage r of SUBSURFACE SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM INSPECTION FORM PART A CERTIFICATION(coothwed) Property Addms: 203 Made Ridge Road Owner: Florence Savings Bads Date of Inspection:: March 258 JUN 14 21300 INSPECTION SUMMARY:ChedtA R C or A.

Found wells of similar soil and topography on USGS site to compare water elevations to mean for month in question. Chose March since this according to NRCS this is the typical time for the high ground water table for soil this type"Paxton." From the as built plans found the bottom of trenches+/-2.8 feet,below surface of ground. Comparing all data none of which shoved abnormal gw elevations the height of+/-3 fed was arrived at. The soils around the D-box were dry on examination. This area has pockets of gravel.This is based on the perk rate obtained and the poor perk rate of other tests in the area of this development. Based on the local perk rates done and the results pass/f ail for this development,it was assumed that this soil absorption system must be located in one of those gravel pockets. The wells in question on USGS showed a drop in gw elevation from March to June It was noted that the June elevations were about 2 fret above the mean for the month of June. With the water table according to NRCS soil maps being lower in June than March, I assumed the June elevation for this site to be more typical of a the perched water table found in March to compensate for the 2 foot rise above the mean note in the other wells from the USGS sites. revised 9/2/98 Page hl of I1 TITLE 5 OFFICIAL INSPECTION FOR- NOT FOR VOLUNTARY ASSESSMENTS SUBSURFACE SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM FORM PART A CERTIFICATION Property Address: 203 Maple Ridge Road Road,Florence.Northampton,MA 01062 OWNER Name: Clifford&Ellen Scott Owner's Address: 203 Maple Ridge Road Florence,MA 01062 Date of Inspection: June 14 2006 Name of Inspector:Alan E Weiss.
