[Adopted 9-9-1992 by Regulation No. 92-1[1] ]
[1]
Editor's Note: This regulation also repealed
former Article II, Disposal Works Construction Permit, adopted 2-7-1989,
as amended.
On inspection and approval, the building permit
shall be endorsed and dated and the installer shall provide an as-built
plan detailing layout and design of septic system.
The Franklin Board of Health accepts any and
all provisions of Title V of the State Environmental Code (310 CMR
15.00), regarding the location, design and construction of subsurface
sewage disposal systems, in the entirety.
A.
Percolation testing can be performed at any time during
the year. The maximum acceptable percolation rates shall be in accordance
with the requirements of Title V of the State Environmental Code (310
CMR 15.00).
B.
Deep observation holes shall be dug at the same time
when percolation tests are conducted. The Franklin Board of Health
has discretionary power in determining maximum high groundwater elevations
based upon historical high water levels, observation of soil mottling
and the use of well data from United States Geological Survey (USGS)
reports. The Franklin Board shall require the use of observation pipes
when it is the opinion of the approving authority that marginal soil
conditions exist.
