Table 2. Percolation Test Summary <br /> Test No., Percolation Test Percolation Rate Test Duration Comments <br /> Date Tested Depth (ft.) (minutes/inch) (see notes) <br /> P1, <br /> 3/20/2020 3.50 8.06 4 hr. Satisfactor�r perc. <br /> Shallow Test rate <br /> Note: A satisfactory percolation rate for a "shallow" test is greater than 1 but less than or equal to 60 minutes per <br /> inch. <br /> 1 Per San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department, a rate between 5.0 and 30.0 min/in requires an <br /> eight-foot separation between the bottom of dispersal system and ground water, or mitigation by system <br /> design or enhancement. <br /> Discussion of Percolation Test Results <br /> The soils on the proposed homesite parcel of the Site have demonstrated a satisfactory <br /> percolation rate for the use of standard septic systems in accordance with the <br /> requirements of the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department. <br /> Because of the percolation rate between 5.0 and 30.0 min/in encountered in the test <br /> hole, the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department will require an eight- <br /> foot separation from the bottom of any future dispersal system to ground water. Ground <br /> water is anticipated to be encountered less than 10 feet below ground surface at the <br /> Site. <br /> Discussion of Septic System Sizing <br /> Septic system construction utilizing leach lines or a filter bed should follow the San <br /> Joaquin County On-Site Wastewater Treatment Systems Standards (2017) where <br /> applicable. No construction is anticipated. <br /> LOGE 20-12 Page 8 <br />
