Soil Suitability Study (MS-92-191 , Parcel. Nos . 1 and 2) 4 On December 1 and 2 , 1992 , two percolation tests were performed on the subject property under my direction in conformance with the San Joaquin County Public Health Service, Environmental Health Division regulations and the San Joaquin County Ordinance Code Standards . Percolation Test Hole Nos . P1 and P2 resulted in the percolation rates and determinations shown on the attached "Percolation Data Sheet" and are tabulated as follows : Parcel No. Test Hole Percolation Rate Minimum Usable_ No. (Minutes Per Inch) Disposal Area ( Square Feet ) 1 P1 4 . 4 6 , 000 2 P2 6 . 7 6 , 000 Recommendations : 6 , 000 square feet minimum usable disposal areas are recommended for both Parcel Nos . 1 and 2 to accommodate subsurface horizontal leaching fields . However , due to the variable nature of the soil in this general area, if the site selected for development is at a different location than the site tested, careful note of the soil character and nature should be taken at the time of construction at the specific site selected for a planned system and the discharge of effluent into a combination of leach lines and seepage pits be considered as an alternate system. Well Water Analasis : Two samples of well water were taken , one from the existing home (domestic well ) at the east boundary and in the middle of Parcel No . 1 and one from an irrigation well also at the east boundary line of Parcel No . 1 and a little south of the domestic well . The water obtained from each of the wells was tested for the chemical Dibromochloropropane (DBCP) and Nitrate (NO3 ) . The results of the tests on the sampled water from the domestic homesite and agricultural well for Dibromochloropropane (DBCP) and Nitrate (NO3) are tabulated below: John J .
