CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> In summary, the soil conditions near the percolation tests appear to be suitable for use <br /> with on-site septic systems. Satisfactory soil percolation rates of less than 35.7 min/in <br /> (Parcel 1), 5.8 min/in (Parcel 2), 6.4 min/in (Parcel 3), and 5.2 min/in (Parcel 4) were <br /> observed in the test locations. No new construction is proposed. With a satisfactory <br /> test, the area 100 feet in radius from each test location could be used to construct a <br /> septic system drain field. <br /> Live Oak excavated one boring on each proposed numbered parcel on the Site to 8.5 <br /> feet below ground surface. Ground water was encountered at a depth of 6.0 feet on <br /> Parcel 1, 5.0 feet on Parcel 2, and 5.5 feet on Parcel 3. No water was encountered to <br /> the full depth of 8.5 feet on Parcel 4. The direction of ground water flow in the area was <br /> not determined and is highly dependent on irrigation activities. <br /> Water samples were collected from both domestic water wells on the Site. The results <br /> are ort coming. MIi�!L <br /> We believe the Site suitable for development with the use of standard septic systems <br /> utilizing leach lines or a filter bed. If septic systems are to be installed at the percolation <br /> test locations at some point in the future, engineered fill will be required for Parcels 1, 2, <br /> and 3 because ground water was encountered less than five feet below the bottom of <br /> the percolation test holes. <br /> LOGE 1213 Page 10 <br />
