percolation rate for a deep testis 30 min/in or less. For the Site to utilize a standard <br /> septic system, one percolation test (either a shallow or deep test) must demonstrate a <br /> satisfactory percolation rate within the proposed septic system disposal field. <br /> Only shallow tests were performed for the Site. Details and results of the percolation <br /> tests are summarized in the following table: <br /> Table 2. Percolation Test Summary <br /> Test No., Percolation Percolation Test Duration Comments <br /> Date Tested Test Rate (see notes) <br /> Depth(ft.) (minuteslinch) <br /> P1 (Parcel 1) <br /> 1/28/14 3.30 19.2 4 hrs. Satisfactory <br /> Shallow Test perc. rate <br /> P2 (Parcel 2) <br /> 1/28/14 3.35 31.2 4 hrs. Satisfactory <br /> Shallow Test perc. rate <br /> Note: A satisfactory percolation rate for a "shallow" test is less than or equal to 60 minutes per inch.A satisfactory <br /> percolation rate for a"deep"test is less than or equal to 30 minutes per,inch. <br /> Discussion of Percolation Test Results <br /> The soils within the percolation test areas have demonstrated satisfactory percolation <br /> rates for the use of standard septic systems in accordance with the requirements of the <br /> San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department. <br /> Discussion of Septic System Sizing <br /> Septic system construction utilizing leach lines and sumps should follow the San <br /> Joaquin County On-Site Wastewater Disposal Standards (2003) where applicable. <br /> LOGE 1401 Page 7 <br />
