The inspection was performed based on my training and experience in the proper function and maintenance of on-site sewage disposal systems. The system: X Passes This inspection is based on criteria defined in Title V _ Conditionally Passes code 310 CMR 15.303.My findings are of how the system is performing at the time of the Inspection.My Inspection does _ Needs Furlher V/aIuation By the Local Approving Authority not Imply any warranty or quarantee of the longevity of the Fails septic system and any of its components useful life. Inspector's Signature: Date: 7/31197 The System Inspector shall submit a copy of this inspection report to the Approving Authority within thirty(30)days of completing this inspections. If the system is a shared system or has a design flow of 10,000 gpd or greater,the inspector and the system owner shall submit the report to the appropriate regional office of the Department of E_nvironmental Protection. The original should be sent to the system owner and copies sent to the buyer, if applicable and the approving authority. INSPECTION SUMMARY: Check A, B,C, or D: A] SYSTEM PASSES: X I have not found any information which indicates that the system violates any of the failure criteria defined as in 310 CMR 15.303. Any failure criteria not evaluated are indicated below. B] SYSTEM CONDITIONALLY PASSES: One or more system components need to be replaced or repaired. The system, upon completion of the replacement or repair,passes inspection. Indicate yes,no,or not determined(Y, N,or ND). Describe basis of determination in all instances. If "not determined", explain why not.) _ The septic tank is metal,cracked,structurally unsound,shows substantial infiltration or exfiltration,or tank failure is imminent. The system will pass inspection if the existing septic tank is replaced with a conforming septic tank as approved by the Board of Health.

The system will pass inspection if(with approval of the Board of Health): broken pipe(s)are replaced obstruction is removed distribution box is leveled or replaced _The system required pumping more than four times a year due to broken or obstructed pipe(s). The system will pass inspection if(with approval of the Board of Health): broken pipe(s)are replaced obstruction is removed C] FURTHER EVALUATION IS REQUIRED BY THE BOARD OF HEALTH: _ Conditions exist which require further evaluation by the Board of Health in order to determine if the system is failing to protect the public health, safety and the environment. 1) SYSTEM WILL PASS UNLESS BOARD OF HEALTH DETERMINES THAT THE SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONING IN A MANNER WHICH WILL PROTECT THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT: _ Cesspool or privy is within 50 feet of a surface water Cesspool or privy is within 50 feet of a bordering vegetated wetland or a salt marsh. 2) SYSTEM WILL FAIL UNLESS THE BOARD OF HEALTH(AND PUBLIC WATER SUPPLIER, IF APPROPRIATE) DETERMINES THAT THE SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING IN A MANNER THAT PROTECT THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT: The system has a septic tank and soil absorption system and is within 100 feet to a surface of water supply or tributary to a surface water supply. The system has a septic tank and soil absorption system and is within a Zone 1 of a public water supply well. The system has a septic tank and soil absorption system and is within 50 feet of a private water supply well. _ The system has a septic tank and soil absorption system and is less than 100 feet but 50 feet or more from a private water supply well, unless a well water analysis for coliform bacteria volatile organic compounds indicates that the well is free from pollution for that facility and the presence of ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen is equal or less than 5 ppm. 3) OTHER D] SYSTEM FAILS: _ I have determined that the system violates one or more of the following failure criteria as defined in 310 CMR 15.303. The basis for this determination is identified below. The Board of Health should be contacted to determine what will be necessary to correct the failure. Backup of sewage in facility or system component due to an overloaded or clogged SAS or cesspool. Discharge or ponding of effluent to the SLI118CO of the ground or surfacc walcrs due to nil cwerlondnd or r,Iogg(Yl cesspool. SAS is in hydraulic failure.

Liquid depth in cesspool is less than 6"below invert or available volume is less than 1/2 day flow. Required pumping more than 4 times in the last year NOT due to clogged or obstructed pipe(s). Numbers of times pumped Any portion of the Soil Absorption System,cesspool or privy is below the high groundwater elevation. Any portion of a cesspool or privy is within 100 feet of a surface water supply or tributary to a surface water supply. Any portion of a cesspool or privy is within a Zone 1 of a public well. Any portion of a cesspool or privy is within 50 feet of a private water supply well. _ Any portion of a cesspool or privy is less than 100 feet but greater than 50 feet from a private water supply well with no acceptable water quality analysis. If the well has been analyzed to be acceptable,attach copy of well water analysis for coliform bacteria,volatile organic compounds, ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen. E] LARGE SYSTEM FAILS: The following criteria apply to large systems in addition to the criteria: The system serves a facility with a design flow of 10,000 gpd or greater(Large System)and the system is a significant threat to public health and safety and the environment because one or more of the following conditions exist: the system is within 400 feet of a surface drinking water supply the system is within 200 feet of a tributary to a surface drinking water supply the system is located in a nitrogen sensitive area(Interim Wellhead Protection Area (IWPA)or a mapped Zone II of a public water supply well) The owner or operator of any such system shall bring the system and facility into full compliance with the groundwater treatment program requirements of 314 CMR 5.00 and 6.00. Please consult the local regional office of the Department for further information.

X None of the system components have been pumped for at least two weeks and the and the system has been receiving normal flow rates during that period. Large volumes of water have not been introduced into the system recently or as part of this inspection. _!_As built plans have been obtained and examined. Note if they are not available with NIA. X The facility or dwelling was inspected for signs of sewage back-up. X The system does not receive non-sanitary or industrial waste flow. X The site was inspected for signs of breakout. X All system components,excluding the Soil Absorption System,have been located on the site. X The septic tank manholes were uncovered,opened, and the Interior of the septic tank was inspected for condition of baffles or tees,material of construction,dimensions,depth of liquid, depth of sludge, depth of scum. X The size and location of the Soil Absorption System on the site has been determined based on existing information or approximated by non-intrusive methods. x The facility owner(and occupants, if different from owner)were provided with information on the proper maintenance of Sub- Surface Disposal System.
