Generally speaking, coarser-grained soils have much greater potential for percolation <br /> than fine-grained or cemented soils. <br /> I.6 Percolation Test Information <br /> I.6.1 Percolation Test Locations <br /> A site map indicating the locations of the percolation test holes is included as Plate 1 in the <br /> _ appendix of this report. <br /> I.6.2 Number of Percolation Tests <br /> One shallow percolation test was conducted on property for a total of one shallow percolation <br /> test. <br /> I.6.3 Boring Preparation and Presaturation <br /> One shallow percolation test hole was drilled on Site on November 19, 2007 using a hand <br /> auger. <br /> A 1.5-inch diameter PVC pipe with perforations on the bottom was used to measure the drop of <br /> water in the percolation test boring. Approximately 2 inches of "pea gravel" were placed in the <br /> bottom of the open soil boring, then the PVC pipe was installed on top of the gravel. "Pea <br /> gravel"was then used to backfill in the annular space. <br /> Presaturation of the percolation test holes occurred approximately 24 hours prior to the <br /> percolation test. The depth of water used to pre-soak was 12 inches above the bottom of the <br /> boring. <br /> I.6.4 Condition of Borings After Presaturation <br /> After the 24-hour soak period, the presaturated holes were found to be intact and dry on <br /> November 20, 2006. <br /> I.6.5 Percolation Test Procedure <br /> Percolation tests were conducted for the borings on November 20, 2007 in accordance with the <br /> requirements of the EHD. A percolation tests with a duration of four hours was performed for <br /> each hole. The last half an hour of the test was observed by Mr. Ted Tasiopoulos, Registered <br /> Environmental Health Specialist, EHD. <br /> Measurement of the water level during the percolation test was from a fixed reference point on <br /> the PVC casing using an electric well sounder with an depth accuracy of 1/100th foot. All <br /> tabulated values on the field data sheet (appendix) are in decimal feet. After water drop was <br /> observed, the holes were checked for refill. The refill level was approximately 0.5 ft (6 inches) <br /> 902 Industrial Way•Lodi,CA 95240•209.367.3701 •Fax 209.369.4228 ©2007 Neil O.Anderson&Associates.Inc <br />
