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