July 14, 1981: J � You visited the Health Department Office, at which time I informed you � �, that I would need to see the engineered plans showing where the subsurface r sewage disposal system was to be located; that it was possible another � Deep Test would be required to confirm that the area of the entire system would not be in fill, as the Town of Yarmouth Amendments to Title 5, Regu- lation 3.4, which states; that the results from deep and percolation tests may be utilized for a period of 2 years from the date of the actual tests. — S-t ,�,r��'�Bfa-v,s — � i �-�-�- ,3 � � a- � � S��"— � i _ _ �R A� 5��d�n 6'Jm.� � s a^^ �'�/ v q�'q r.,hK',r}�d ) , Mr. Robert Ilavid ��`x/+TQ'g� 9�� Page 2. �,.�'�„" �k��„� ��'�� 6'`''! ��eui�� f4-�� '� �,v�� i H�cJ {i�rner�• i i ,%t ci .:.,��„ et� S%S -�. � 1� hl�wl'�S� � � ' ,�Q October 29, 1981 : i� �,<, t�w� , � �� .,�,.ft�.! w.c'7 '�-ph-eca..t,,:.�l, S.� �c�„<<� �r.,, Z� s're.� A.tIVarS � ncr�sh�/-�,o-/�CN9��heml�l�� (� Owner: David. �a Deep Tests performed at right front corner of lot b y t Q r Sweetser Engineers; witnessed by Assistant Health Agent, David Carignax� p Soil Log consisted of fill encountered in both test holes _ checked as C unsuitable for sewage disposal system as 4 feet of naturally occurring £t � � pervious soil was not encountered. � � � November 5 & 6, 1981: � � r n In a conversation with John of Sweetser Engineers, he inquired as to the A M1� procedures used for de-watering when conducting deep tests to verify per- � a� colation rates below the water table level. It was explained to him that � f � in de-watering tests to find the percolation rates below a water table r �� level, it still was no guarantee for approval; that a proposal must be �- g submitted to the Board of Health. � .r � o g February 17, 1982: �y Owner: David. Deep Test performed by Sweetser Engineers; witnessed by y�� Assistant Health Agent, David Carignan. Soil Log consisted of fill en- c � countered; equipment for de-watering not sufficient. � February 19, 1982: Town of Yarmouth's Conservation Commission notified Health Department that any future testing of Lot 13, Merchant Avenue will require prior contact with that Commission. February 26, 1982: Telephone call received from you, stating that lot was tested in past and original soil had been found. You then asked why further testing was required on this lot. I explained that 4 feet of naturally occurring per- ' vious soil must be verified around the area designated for the proposed septic system; that on July 14, 1981, I had informed you that further testing could possibly be required in this determination. In the research of this department's files it appears that no official ap- proval, in writing, was ever granted for the construction of a subsurface sewage disposal system on Lot 13, Merchant Avenue. The area of a proposed system must be 100 feet from a Wetlands area (Town of Yarmouth Amendments to Title 5: Regu- lation 3.7) , and meet with the State Environmental Code; Title 5: Minimum Re- quirements for the Subsurface Disposal of Sanitary Sewage. All requirements must be complied with prior to obtaining a Building Permit, therefore, I would recom- mend further testing, after first obtain3ng approval from the Conservation Com- mission, to locate naturally occurring pervious soil 100 feet from the Wetlands area. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
