septic system, one percolation test (either a shallow or deep test) must demonstrate a <br /> satisfactory percolation rate within the proposed septic system disposal field. <br /> Only a shallow test was performed for the proposed homesite parcel of the Site. Details <br /> and results of the percolation test are summarized in the following table. <br /> Table 2.

A satisfactory <br /> percolation rate for a "deep"test is less than or equal to 30 minutes per inch. <br /> Discussion of Percolation Test Results <br /> The soils within the percolation test area have demonstrated a satisfactory percolation <br /> rate for the use of a standard septic system in accordance with the requirements of the <br /> San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department. <br /> Discussion of Septic System Sizing <br /> Septic system construction utilizing leach lines, leach lines and sumps, or a filter bed <br /> should follow the San Joaquin County On-Site Wastewater Disposal Standards (2003) <br /> where applicable. <br /> LOGE 1134 Page 7 <br />
