The soil in this area is classified as Delhi Loamy Sand, Honcut Sandy Loam, and Veritas Fine Sandy Loam as stated in the Soil Survey of San Joaquin County, as provided by the United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service. 5.4 Discussion of soil lithology as related to future onsite septic uses: The Delhi Loamy Sand and Honcut Sandy Loam have a permeability that is high. The Veritas Fine Sandy Loam has a permeability that is moderate. (See Appendix). 6.0 PERCOLATION TEST INFORMATION SECTION 6.1 Site map showing the location, with concise and accurate dimensions of the percolation test holes on the parcel: See Appendix. 6.2 The minimum number of shallow and deep percolation tests were performed for each parcel: Two shallow percolation test holes were prepared on the proposed parcels. One hole was prepared on each proposed parcel. 6.3 Description of the date, time and protocol used to prepare the test hole, including depth and dimensions of hole, preparation of hole, and depth of water used to presoak (minimum 12 inches): The shallow test holes were excavated to depths varying from 32 to 37 and 8 inches in diameter and backfilled with 2 inches of "pea gravel" in accordance with County Standards. The shallow holes were prepared by Corey Pottoff of Dillon and Murphy on March 12, 2026 at 7:30 a.m. On April 30, 2026 at 7:30 a.m. the 24 hours presoak period was started.

Six inches of water were added to the holes, and the holes were deemed suitable to continue. The shallow tests passed the minimum County requirements. 6.5 The test conformed to SJC Policy EH 02-02 (correct depth,diameter,2" gravel,6" water refill,correct readings recorded). The percolation tests conformed to San Joaquin County Policy EHD 02-02. 6.6 Complete Percolation Test Form (including readings) was provided with REHS verification signature.
