20+ Acre Lot Perc Data CURRAN ASSOCIATES, INC. ENGINEERS & PLANNERS NORTHAMPTON, MASS. LIMA. PERU NASSAU. BAHAMAS 12 November 1973 Mr. Robert Langdon Plumbing Inspector City Hall Northampton, Massachusetts 01060 (413) 504-7701 782 Miain cheek cAlotgampton, CJ'(assaduectts 0,060 Dear Mr. Langdon: This letter is to certify that on October 4, 1973, a percolation test and deep hole observations were made on land owned by Douglas Finn off Sylvester Road, Northampton, for the purpose of installing an on-lot subsurface waste- water disposal system. The approximate location of the test site is shown on the U.S.G.S. quad sheet attached. The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) has classified the soils in the area as part of the Charlton-Hollis-Gloucester Association and more particularly as "Rock Land" . A "se- vere limitation" for on-lot sewerage systems is noted for this area due to the shallow depth to bedrock. The depth to the water table in the area is described by the SCS as "deep" . Our investigation of the subsoil, in general, verified the SCS data; however, we were able to find an area with a sufficient depth to bedrock to allow the installation of an on-lot sewerage system, as shown in the attached soil log. The stabilized percolation rate in a hole adjacent to the test pit was 8 minutes per inch. Based on the findings and in accordance with your suggestions, we recommend that a subsurface disposal system be installed with the following design criteria: Septic Tank: 4 bedrooms x 2 persons/bedroom x 50 gal./person-day = 400 gal./day Garbage Grinder to be installed. Minimum size septic tank - 1000 gal. Recommended - 1250-gal. septic tank. Mr. Langdon 12 November 1973 Leaching Bed Minimum Area - 1 sg. ft./gal.-day of sewage 400 x 1 - 400 sq. ft. Recommended - 1000 sq. ft. leaching bed. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely yours , ("at. 77(214447-7./241 Alan P.
