One percolation test must demonstrate a <br /> satisfactory percolation rate within the proposed septic system disposal field of each parcel to <br /> utilize a standard septic system. Details of the percolation tests are summarized in the table <br /> below. <br /> Table 3. <br /> Summary of Percolation Tests <br /> Test No., Percolation Percolation Test Comments <br /> Date Tested Test Rate Duration (see notes) <br /> Depth (feet) (minutes/in ) <br /> P-1 3.35 5.0 4 hr. % Satisfactory <br /> Note: A satisfactory percolation rate for a"shallow"test is ss than or equal to 60 minbte4 . <br /> A satisfactory percolation rate for a"deep to ess than or equal to 30 minutes per inch. <br /> 6.7 Discussion of Percolation Test Results <br /> The soils within the sewage disposal areas of the site have demonstrated a satisfactory <br /> percolation rate in accordance with the requirements of the EHD for the use of a standard <br /> septic system. According to the San Joaquin Soil Survey (Table 1), the percolation test was <br /> done within a section of soil listed as Acampo sandy loam. Please see the table for additional <br /> information regarding this soil. <br /> 6.8 Discussion of Septic System Sizing <br /> Septic system construction should follow the San Joaquin County On-Site Wastewater Disposal <br /> Standards where applicable. <br /> 7.0 CONCLUSIONS <br /> In summary, percolation rates that meet the minimum EHD standards were achieved in the <br /> proposed septic disposal area of the proposed parcel. The rapid percolation rate achieved on <br /> _ site may be attributed to the Acampo sandy loam, along with farming over the past few <br /> decades which may have loosened the soils. The parcel appears suitable for the use of a <br /> standard septirsystem. <br /> No ground water was encountered in the boring drilled on the property. The depth to ground <br /> water was approximately 65-90 feet below the ground surface for the period of Fall 2003 and <br /> Spring 2004 based on county groundwater maps. The on-site water well was tested for nitrate <br /> and DBCP. The results of these tests are forthcoming. <br /> '.644 <br /> 902 Industrial Way-Lodi,CA 95240-209.367.3701 -Fax 209.369.4228 ©2008 Neil O.Anderson&Associates,Inc <br />
