minute per inch (min/in) but less than or equal to 30 min/in drop. For the Site to utilize a <br /> standard septic system, one percolation test (shallow or deep) must demonstrate a <br /> satisfactory percolation rate within the proposed septic system disposal field. <br /> Details and results of the percolation testing are summarized in the following table. <br /> Table 2.

A satisfactory percolation rate for a "deep" test is greater than 1 but less than or equal to 30 minutes <br /> per inch. <br /> Only one percolation test hole (shallow or deep) is required to pass for the location to be considered <br /> acceptable for a standard septic system. <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 within the proposed sewage disposal area of the Site have demonstrated a <br /> satisfactory percolation rate for the use of a standard septic system in accordance with <br /> the requirements of the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department. This <br /> percolation test is considered representative of soils within a 100-foot radius of the test <br /> location. <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 the dispersal system to ground water. Based on <br /> maps reviewed, ground water is anticipated to be encountered approximately 80 to 90 <br /> feet below ground surface at the Site; consequently, no modifications to standard septic <br /> systems should be required. <br /> Discussion of Septic System Sizing <br /> Septic system construction utilizing leach lines and seepage pits should follow the San <br /> Joaquin County On-Site Wastewater Treatment Systems Standards (2017) where <br /> applicable. <br /> LOGE 20-56 Page 7 <br />
