PERCOLATION TEST RESULTS <br /> At 0930 on August 4, 2004, one shallow percolation test boring of 38.5 inches in depth was hand- <br /> drilled in an area that would be the most logical location for the leachfield of a second unit dwelling <br /> on proposed Parcel 1. This location is denoted on the attached Tentative Map. A deep boring <br /> representative of sumps or seepage pits was not drilled and tested since seepage pits are not allowed <br /> in this area, and sumps are strongly discouraged. From a nitrate loading standpoint, it is much more <br /> beneficial to install the leachlines as high in elevation as possible, which would preclude the <br /> installation of deeper septic system structures. Pere tests were also not conducted on the Designated <br /> Remainder, pursuant to EHD requirements. <br /> After drilling with a four-inch diameter auger, the sidewalls were scored with a pry-bar and the loose <br /> material removed. Two inches of fine gravel was placed at the bottom and three-inch perforated <br /> PVC pipe was inserted. The test boring was pre-saturated with 12 inches of water, approximately 24 <br /> hours before the start of perc testing. <br /> On August 5, 2004, percolation testing commenced. There-was no standing water after the 24-hour <br /> soak period-, therefore, EHD Percolation Test Procedure#2 was performed. However, EHD <br /> Procedure#3 could have been run because the first 6 inches of water seeped away before the end of <br /> the first 30 minutes. Readings could have been taken every 10 minutes, over a one hour period. By <br /> running the perc test for four hours, maximum soil saturation was introduced giving a perc rate <br /> indicative of"worst-case scenario'conditions. <br /> Page -5- <br /> Chesney Consulting <br />
