SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY, MS-98-18 , PARCEL NOS . 1 , 2 , AND 3 water was encountered in excavating the Soil Profile Test Hole on July 9 , 1998 to a depth of 10"00" . On the "Field Percolation Data Sheets" , I have noted the soil encountered to be gray silty-clay loam to a depth of one ( 1 ) foot below the ground surface. Between one ( 1 ) foot and ten ( 10) feet , below the ground surface I noted the soil to be a brown sandy-loam. The University of California publication entitled "Soils of San Joaquin County, California" by Walter W. Weir , dated June 1952 , refers to the soil in this general area as "Columbia Silty-Clay Loam" , light brownish-gray in color , with good surface drainage and imperfect subsurface drainage . The "Soil Survey of San Joaquin County , California, United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service" , issued October 1992 lists the soil type in this general area as "Acampo Sandy Loam" , with the surface layer brown sandy loam to a depth of 19" and pale brown and light yellowish-brown to a depth of 47" , permeability moderate , water capacity moderate and o% to 2% slopes . The San Joaquin County Flood Control And Water Conservation Map entitled "Lines Of Equal Depth To Water Wells" , dated Fall 1990 , shows the ground water to be in excess of forty (40) feet below the ground surface . Percolation Tests : Two percolation test holes were excavated on each of the three (3) parcels for a total six (6) excavated percolation test holes . Three (3 ) were 8" in diameter and three (3 ) were 12" in diameter . The specific locations and diameters of the six percolation test holes , Nos . 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A and 313 are shown on the attached "Property Map" and Detail Map "A" . Three (3 ) percolation test holes , Nos . 1B, 2A and 3A, were tested formally. Preliminary testing only was conducted on Percolation test hole Nos . 1A, 2B and 313 and then abandoned and not made an integral part of this report . The percolation test holes reported on herein involved two ( 2 ) twelve ( 12 ) inch diameter percolation test holes , Nos . 2A and 3A and a eight (8) inch diameter percolation test hole No . 1B . The percolation holes tested formally were excavated to a maximum depth of thirty-four and one half (34 1/2 ) inches . TEST RESULTS • Parcel No. Test Hole Percolation Rate 'Minimum Usable N0 .
