re: Septic System Repair Design for 101 Old Ferry Road
Dear Board:
Environmental Field Services, Inc. recently submitted a repair design for the subject
property on behalf of the owners Yen Schwartz and Rebecca Lillian who currently
reside in Chicago. The subject property is a small parcel, near the Fairgrounds, in
the Northampton meadows, with relatively poor soils and a fairly shallow water
table.
Due to the space and cost constraints of this project, and the need to consider
compensatory storage issues in this "flood plain" area, we have tried to design the
most compact, lowest profile, leaching system possible. Towards this end, we
have used ultra tow profile leaching galleys, and have requested a Local Upgrade
Approval for a three foot separation to water table. In addition, we would like to
request a waiver from the Northampton Bylaw requiring teaching systems to be
designed at 159% of the state requirements (i.e. to accommodate a garbage
disposal). The existing dwelling does not have a disposal unit and due to the site
constraints noted above, designing to accommodate one would cause a very
significant financial hardship for this already distressed property.
We appreciate your anticipated compassion and took forward to completing the
septic system upgrades at this property. Please contact us at your convenience if
we can provide you with any further information, and thank you for your
assistance.
Sincerely yours,
Mice
