[5] cont. <br /> distance between the bottom of the seepage pit and the water table <br /> will be easily achieved. The groundwater directional flow appears <br /> t to be towards the southwest, although many factors can influence <br /> this direction. <br /> There is currently a windmill pump on Parcel Number one. The depth <br /> of this pump could not be determined, but the flow rate was <br /> calculated at . 1 gallons per minute (gpm) . It is assumed that this <br /> windmill is drawing water from the first aquifer. Three parameters <br /> were measured on this water. The temperature was found to be 68. 5 <br /> degrees F. The electrical conductivity (EC) was measured at 220 <br /> umho/cm, which is a fairly low conductivity. The pH was measured <br /> at 9 . 32 , indicating an alkaline water source. In addition to these <br /> tests, a nitrate test was also performed on this water. The <br /> results are found in the Appendix and indicate a very low level of <br /> nitrate concentration at 3 . 1 mg/1. This analysis result <br /> illustrates that there has basically been no impact upon the <br /> groundwater under the subject property from agricultural practices, <br /> particularly the chicken layer ranch, or surrounding septic <br /> systems. <br /> [6] SOIL PROFILE AND PERCOLATION TESTING <br /> Information from the drilling of domestic wells, and the <br /> installation of septic systems in the area of the subject site were <br /> obtained from the San Joaquin Department of Environmental Health. <br /> The Well Logs illustrate a diverse soil structure of primarily <br /> sandy silts, cemented silts, hardpan and gravels. There is a <br /> hardpan layer approximately three to six feet under the subject <br /> site. Cemented silts can be found within the soil strata at lower <br /> depths (30-50 feet) . <br />
