faucet of the domestic well on July 20, 2010 for Nitrate testing in groundwater. The 250- milliliter poly samples were labeled, placed in iced storage and delivered to Curtis and Tompkins, Ltd, a State of California certified analytical laboratory. A chain-of-custody record was maintained during shipment of the samples to the laboratory(Appendix Q. 4.2 LABORATORY ANALYSES KIFF Analytical LLC (KIFF), of Davis, California send water sample for DBCP (1,2-Dibromo- 3-chloropropane) testing to Calscience Environmental Laboratories, Inc. (CEL) laboratory. DBCP test performed by using EPA Method 504.1. Groundwater samples collected on July 20, 2010 at the site are analyzed by Curtis and Tompkins, Ltd, for Nitrates using EPA Method 300.0. Groundwater sample analytical results of DBCP and Nitrate tests are presented in the laboratory reports are included in Appendix C. 5.0 GROUNDWATER TEST RESULTS 5.1 GROUNDWATER FLOW ; Depth to groundwater lies between 24 and 28 feet below mean sea level (54 to 58 feet below the ground surface). Soil exploration was conducted on March 23, 2010. Soil samples were collected to a depth of 50 feet below ground surface. During soil exploration no groundwater encountered to a depth of 50 feet below ground surface. Per County most current available groundwater maps configuration of the groundwater surface indicates that the groundwater flow direction is generally to the northwest. The horizontal groundwater gradient across the site is at 3.8 foot 0.00072 feet/foot. 5.2 ANALYTICAL RESULTS i DBCP test performed in two samples. Results indicated DBCP concentration is 0.097 µg/l and 0.097 µg/1. MCL for DBCP is 0.2 µg11. Nitrates tests were performed on two samples in accordance with EPA 300.00. Results indicated concentrations of Nitrate as NO3 is 59 mg/L and 60 mg/L. MCL for Nitrate as NO3 in drinking water is 45 µg/1. Complete report of analytical testing is presented in Appendix C. 6.0 PERCOLATION TESTING Percolation testing was performed at two locations of proposed leach area adjacent the northern property line. The test apparatus included an 8 inches diameter bore holes (shallow and deep h perc tests) filled with 2 inches of coarse sand at the base. Test holes were presoaked following their construction for 24 hours before test. The EHD was notified at the start of percolation test. Approximately 6 inches clear water was added over the course sand. Each test ran for a total duration of four hours, with the hydraulic head restored to an initial level at 30 minutes intervals. G At the beginning and end of each 30 minutes interval the depth of water in each hole was measured through hole using a rigid steel measuring tap and converted to the rate shown below.
