There are many septic systems in the general locale surrounding the subject <br /> property. A surprisingly high number of nine repairs/additions permits to septic systems were <br /> found in the EHD files within the one-half mile study area. Copies pf these permits are found in <br /> Appendix D. This number of permits may be attributable to the clay surface soils and the lack of <br /> installing deep, seepage pit OWTS structures. <br /> I <br /> i <br /> I <br /> PERCOLATION TEST RESULTS <br /> SSS§ 6.2. To assess the permeability of the effluent receiving soils,three perc test depths of 36" <br /> (3 ft), 100" (8.3 ft) and 300" (25 ft) were drilled in the location of the proposed filter bed as <br /> depicted on the site plans. <br /> SSS§ 6.3. After drilling,the sidewalls of the shallow boring was scored with a pry-bar to open <br /> potentially smeared soil surfaces. Two inches of pea gravel was placed at the bottom and a three- <br /> inch dia. perforated PVC pipe was inserted in each test boring. After these procedures,the <br /> borings were pre-saturated with 12 inches of water approximately 24 hrs prior to the start of <br /> testing. <br /> SSS§ 6.4,6.5. On June 2, 2020, percolation testing commenced at 0700 hrs. No standing water <br /> was observed after the 24-hr soak period in the shallow and the deep test borings. Five inches of <br /> standing water was measured in the 8.3 ft test boring. EHD Perc Test Procedure#2 was <br /> conducted. Testing was done over a four-hour period to induce maximum soil saturation. The <br /> test results indicate an acceptable perc rate of 31.3 min/in for the shallow boring and a failing perc <br /> rate of 41.7 for the 25 ft test boring. The 8.3 ft test boring also had a failing perc rate of 125 min/in. <br /> A summary of the perc test results with corresponding application rates in gallons of effluent <br /> accepted per square foot of soil per day are illustrated below in Table 2: <br /> Page -3- <br /> Chesney Consulting <br />
