(§3.1,3.2,3.3, and 3.4) There are no on-site septic system(s). There have been no repairs/replacements of septic systems within a one-half mile radius of the subject property. This may be attributable to the indigenous sandy/silty soils at leachline and deeper depths, as evidenced by the obtained percolation test results. The only permit within the study area was for perc tests conducted on the east side of Banta Road. (§3.4� The subject property is in an area designated as "High Water Table Areas" by EHD's soil/groundwater map denoting the various soil types and septic system requirements throughout the County. However, as referenced below, the water table is deeper in this locale than it is further to the northeast where it is much shallower. EHD requirements in this area are leachlines exclusively, with an equivalent of 100 feet of leachline per bedroom. (§ 16) Since the water table is comparatively shallow in this area at approximately 15 feet (discussed in the following Section), and the fact that the shallow(42") soil characteristics are a silty, fine sand and adequate for acceptable effluent management, sumps and seepage pits cannot be considered for installation in this location. (§1/5 and 3.6) As noted above, a review of Application Permits on file at EHD reveals there have been no Applications or Permits for Repairs/Additions/Replacements to septic systems on linne Road within the study area. (§ 5A/and 6.0) SOIL PROFILE AND PERCOLATION TESTING (§ 5.4�The USDA Soil Map shows the north half of the on-site soil to consist of a Capay clay (#118) and Stomar clay loam(#252) under the south half of the property. Typically,these soil types have slow permeability according to the N.R.C.S. However, a relatively rapid permeability was confirmed by the perc test results in the soil type under the two above-referenced soil types. Sufficient soil"fines" (silt and clay particles) exist to impede rapid percolation that would occur with an extremely sandy soil. Therefore, treatment of septic effluent can take place before reaching the water table at approximately 15 feet below grade. (§ 5.2, 5:3, and 5.4) A Log of Boring using the Unified Soil Classification System (U.S.C.S.), as observed in the 42-inch deep perc test borings, is found on the EHD PERCOLATION TEST DATA SHEET. Generally, the underlying surface soils show a consistent lean clay soil with a high degree of stickiness to a depth of 2.5 ft. From this depth to 42 inches exists a fine sandy silt material. No cemented silts hardpan soil stratum was discernible at depths down to the typical leachline depth of 42 inches. (§ 6.1) Percolation testing was conducted at the site illustrated on the Tentative Map found in Appendix C. This test location maintains sufficient distance requirements between wells, property lines, irrigation lines, etc. The following information describes the preparation of the percolation test borings and the actual percolation testing: (§ &2, 6.3 and 6.5) On January 21,2015, 0900 hrs, a shallow perc test boring of 42 inches was hand-drilled near the centers of the two proposed Parcels, approximately 150 ft north of Linne Road. This distance will allow any future residence convenient utility access from Linne Road. Page -2-
