5.0 SOIL PROFILE INFORMATION SECTION 5.1 Site map showing the location,with dimensions, of the soil profiled pit on the parcel. See Appendix. 5.2—Description of soil profile pit including depth and dimensions. The shallow test holes # ` were prepared per County Standards. The holes were excavated to a depth of 42 inches and 8 inches in diameter. They were backfilled with 2 inches of"pea gravel". 5.3 Description of soil litholog3as noted from test pit by appropriate professional using industry standard protocol. The Soil in this area is classified as Columbia Fine Sandy Loam, Columbia Fine Sandy Loam Channeled, Delhi Loamy Sand, and Merritt Silty Clay Loam, f partially drained, as stated in the Soil Survey of San Joaquin County, as provided by the United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service. 5.4 Discussion of soil lithology as related to future onsite septic uses: TheC bia Fine Sandy Loam, Delhi Loamy Sand have moderate rapid permeability, th�MerrittSilty lay Loam- Fj' has a moderate slow permeability, thus percolation rates varied between I 1 and 28 Min./Inch. (See Appendix). , 6.0 PERCOLATION TEST INFORMATION SECTION 6.1 Site map showing�the location,wit concise and accurate dimensions of the percolation test holes on the parcel: See Appendi . 6.2 The minimum number of shallow and deep percolation tests were performed for each parcel: Three shallow percolation test holes were prepared. 6.3 Description of the date, time and protocol used to prepare the test hole, including L_, depth and dimensions of hale, preparation of hole, and depth of water used to presoak t (minimum 12 inches): The shallow test holes were excavated to a depth of 42 inches and 8 inches in diameter and backfilled with 2 inches of "pea gravel" in accordance with County F Standards. The shallow holes were prepared by Shaun Mackey of Dillon& Murphy on May 20, 2011 at 7:00 a.m. On June 2, 2011 at 7:30 a.m. the 24 hours presoak period was started. P The holes were filled with 12 inches of water over the gravel at this time. 6.4 Description of the date, time and condition of the test hole after the 24-hour soak fj period (hole still intact, hole dry, preparation of hole, and depth of water used to pr soak / (minimum 12 inches): On June 3, 2011 at 7:30 a.m. the three shallow test holes were dry. ix / inches of water were added to the holes and the holes were deemed suitable to continue. The shallow tests passed the minimum County requirements. 6.5 The test conformed to SJC Policy EH 02-02 (correct depth, diameter, 2" gravel, 6" water refill, correct readings recorded). The percolation tests conformed to San Joaquin County Policy EHD 02-02. 3 r k
