(See appendix). VI. SOIL PROFILE AND PERCOLATION TESTS Q� P �- Two test holes were excavated to depths of 3.5 feet in the area of the homesite and on Parcel 1 . The purpose of the test holes was to determine percolation rate in this area. For approximate location of the test hole, see the _ Tentative Parcel Map in the Appendix.
