• k" KLEINFELDER <br /> t <br /> File No. 20-2949-13 <br /> November 26, 1990 <br /> Reference is made to Plate I of this report which shows <br /> the location of the proposed parcel split site. <br /> Currently, the majority of the site area consists of <br /> agricultural and pasture land with scattered farm houses. <br /> On October 11, 1990, a representative of our firm visited <br /> 3 residences located off Durham Ferry Road. In addition, <br /> several residences were visited west of the site in July <br /> 1990 for a previous project. The purpose of our visits <br /> was to obtain information on septic system use and to <br /> inquire about any problems known to exist with this <br /> method of sewage disposal. None of the residences <br /> visited for this or our previous project reported having <br /> problems with the performance of their septic systems. <br /> The ages of the septic systems were reported to be from <br /> 1 to 30 years old. The majority of the residents <br /> questioned indicated that their wells produced "hard <br /> water" and that they used water softeners or bottled <br /> water. <br /> ITEM C-2 : <br /> "Suitability of soil for development utilizing septic systems. " <br /> On October 22, 1990, a representative of our firm drilled <br /> and set-up 1 3-foot deep percolation test hole at the <br /> proposed parcel I. The test hole was drilled with hand <br /> drilling equipment using a 6-inch diameter continuous- <br /> flight auger. Perforated PVC pipe was inserted into the <br /> test hole to prevent disturbance when adding water. The <br /> test hole was filled with relatively clean water and left <br /> to soak overnight. <br /> Copyright 1990 Kleinfelder, Inc. 2 <br />
