I , F March 16, 2006 NOA Project Number: E0601 1A Measurement of the water level during the percolation test was from a fixed reference point on the PVC casing using an electric well sounder with an depth accuracy of 1/100th foot. All tabulated values on the field data sheet (appendix) are in decimal feet. After water drop was observed, the F1 holes were checked for refill. The refill level was approximately 0.5 ft 6 inches ( ) of water above the bottom level of the percolation test hole. The readings were taken approximately every 30 minutes for a period of four hours. P6.6 Percolation Test Forms and Results i F1 The completed percolation test form is included in the appendix of this report. i A shallow percolation test is defined by the EHD as being between 36 and 42 inches in depth; a satisfactory percolation rate for a shallow test is less than or equal to 60 minutes per inch drop. Details of the percolation test is summarized in the following table. F, Table 5 Summary of Percolation Tests.

The soils of the Site appear to be suitable for a standard septic system. However, due to ground water being encountered at 8.7 feet below ground surface, a semi-raised filter bed septic system may be required by EHD for any future development. EHD requires a minimum of five feet separation between the bottom of the disposal field and ground water. 6.8 Discussion of Septic System Sizing See recommendation/mitigation measures in Part II, Nitrate Loading Study included in this report. 7.0 CONCLUSIONS f , In summary, a atisfactop. rcolation rate of the soil was achieved on the proposed parcel.
