Soil Suitability Study 3 installing a 100 ' long leach line and a 10 ' X 16 ' X 2 ' drainage reservoir (sump) . The remaining permit was for installing a septic tank, a 120 ' long leach line and three (3 ) pits , 42" in diameter and 25 ' deep. These septic systems were installed between April 7 , 1970 and October 27 , 1989 . There were five (5) soil types recorded in the eleven ( 11 ) permits reviewed. Five (5) of the permits listed the soil as sandy loam. Three (3) of the permits listed the soil as hardpan. Two (2) of the permits listed the soil as clay loam. The remaining permit listed the soil as sand and clay. Even though this test report shows the soil on the subject property to be free draining, the permits reviewed above indicate the soils in this general area present problems in maintaining an adequate septic system over a long period of time. Existing Land Use : There are two (2) homesites and a garage situate on Parcel No. 2 situate at the locations shown on the attached "Tentative Parcel Map" . The access to the homes and garage is off East Peltier Road on the south end of the subject property. The rest of the land abuts on East Peltier Road and surrounds the homesites and garage to the east , north and west and is devoted to the agricultural pursuit of raising grapes . Soil Profile Test : The Soil Profile Test Hole was excavated to a maximum depth of eight ( 8) feet below the ground surface and no water was encountered in excavating to this depth. Additional excavation of the Soil Profile Hole to the usual ten ( 10) feet depth was impracticable and not performed for the additional two (2) feet at this location because of the excavation difficulty with hand tools and the locale this project is situate in. Excavation of the Soil Profile Test Hole for the Soil Profile investigation was performed on Parcel No. 2 at the location shown on the attached "Tentative Parcel Map" . The San Joaquin County Flood Control And Water Conservation Map entitled "Lines Of Equal Depth To Water Wells" dated Fall 1990 shows the water to be in excess of 110 feet below the ground surface. Since no water was encountered in excavating to the 8-foot depth, there will be at least a three (3) foot separation between the bottom of a leach trench and perched water , and the San Joaquin County Flood Control And Water Conservation Map data indicates that there will be at least a five f5) foot separation between the bottom of a seepage pit and the static groundwater table.
