Percolation Test Results <br /> The completed percolation test forms are included in Appendix 3 of this report. The <br /> forms were signed by Mr. Tasiopoulos and indicate the percolation rate for each hole <br /> based on the final water drop observed. <br /> Per San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department's definition, a shallow <br /> percolation test hole has a depth between 36 and 42 inches; a satisfactory percolation <br /> rate for a shallow test is less than or equal to 60 minutes per inch (min/in) drop. A deep <br /> percolation test hole has a depth greater than 3.5 up to 25 feet; a satisfactory <br /> percolation rate for a deep test is 30 min/in or less. For the Site to utilize a standard <br /> septic system, one percolation test (either a shallow or deep test) must demonstrate a <br /> satisfactory percolation rate within the proposed septic system disposal field. <br /> Details and results of the percolation tests are summarized in the following table. <br /> Table 2.

Satisfactory <br /> 7/10/14 perc. rate <br /> Deep Test <br /> Note: A satisfactory percolation rate for a"shallow"test is less than or equal to 60 minutes per inch. A satisfactory <br /> percolation rate for a"deep"test is less than or equal to 30 minutes per inch. <br /> *Only one test, shallow or deep, must pass for the parcel to be considered acceptable for standard septic systems. <br /> LOGE 1415 Page 7 <br />
