Hi Mike-
I have reviewed your Draft and compared it to a plan that was designed and approved in 2010 but the system �
was never installed.
i
- The 2010 design shows adjusted groundwater a couple inches higher than your calculations, so your f
proposed adjustment is appropriate.
- The existing structure to the north is labelled as crawl space on the 2010 design, so you will need to
confirm it is slab and not crawl.
- The proposed contour in the rear(or west) side of the proposed mound does not appear to maintain the
minimum 5' swale to prevent runoff into the abutting property/way. You will need to shift the system,
reduce the amount of fill around the leach field (since sidewall doesn't count towards the design
capacity), or use a retaining/landscape wall along the backside. '
- Your design is a little bit higher above existing grade because you are using a higher chamber unit—
not an issue, but it explains why your's is higher.
As we had discussed during the soil test, any variances will be approved in-house with a stamp stating "No
additions, alterations, renovations without further review by the Yarmouth Board of Health". There are no
guarantees in the future that the BOH will grant the additional bedrooms with the proposed variances. The
front yard may be the only option for designing a system without any variances.
Let me know if you have any questions or comments, otherwise, the design is ok once you address the 5'
swale issue along the rear property line. �

Hi Amy:
Please see attached a DRAFT Septic Plan for the system designed at 171 Seaview Ave. The groundwater
adjustment factor came out to be 1.8'. I added this to the standing water found at the time of the perc test,
which put the ESHGW elevation 0.80 feet higher than the mottling elevation found. I assume you would like
us to use the adjusted groundwater elevation? Also,we're adding bedrooms to the design. The house has 1
bedroom currently. The owner wishes us to design for 3 bedrooms, which I show on the attached design
plan. We added a reserve area. We're asking for a variance from the SAS to the house crawl space foundation ,
and asking for a property line variance from the tank to the rear property line. Are you OK with the premise of �I
the design? Thanks.

Thanks Amy. I updated the plan accordingly and Capewide will be submitting the final plans to your office
sometime in the near future. See attached pdf copy for your records.
I spoke with the neighbor to the north and he said the structure is on a slab foundation. Also,there's an
asbuilt card showing this structure as being a garage with bathroom and sink (see attached). Thanks.
