COMPLETED PERCOLATION TEST FORM <br /> <br />After completion of the successful test, the EHD inspector reviewed the field data and <br />signed the required EHD Percolation Test Rate form. Field measurements recorded <br />during the test are included on the Percolation Test Rate Field Sheet provided in <br />Appendix D. <br /> <br /> <br />6.6. POTENTIAL PROBLEMS PREDICTED <br /> <br />On site soils within the shallow percolation test hole demonstrated adequate percolation <br />rates. Additionally, the existing septic system has been properly operating. <br /> <br /> <br />6.7. PERCOLATION TEST FINDINGS <br /> <br />The shallow percolation test performed provided a satisfactory percolation test rate. The <br />percolation rate of 2.31 minutes per inch was calculated from data collected during the 1- <br />hour percolation test; the smallest reading over the 1-hour period was used to calculate <br />the percolation rate. The use of the existing and proposed septic systems should follow <br />the San Joaquin County On-site Wastewater Treatment Standards. <br /> <br /> <br />7.0. CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SOIL <br /> <br />Soil chemical properties were supplied by regionally sourced material for the surrounding <br />area. <br /> <br /> <br />7.1. CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SITE SOILS <br /> <br />The dominant soil composition in the general area of the property was inferred from <br />information provided by the United States Department of Agriculture’s Soil Geographic <br />Database (USDASGD). The USDASGD soil survey indicates the soil type for the property <br />is predominantly composed of Stomar clay loam having 0 to 2 percent slopes (#252). The <br />Stomar clay loam land complex is composed of alluvium derived from sedimentary rock <br />and is dominated by clay loam. Soils are described as well drained; with moderately low <br />to moderately high permeability; and salinity of less than 2.0 millimhos per centimeter <br />(mmhos/cm). Clays in the Stomar clay loam complex typically have the same chemical <br />properties between surface grade and 60 inches bsg. <br /> <br /> <br />7.2. MASS TRANSPORT PROPERTIES OF UNDERLYING SITE SOILS <br /> <br />The percolation test and dominant soil type at the site indicates that the soils are <br />permeable and have low water storage. These soils will allow moderate infiltration of
